The alien wannabe

Stitch is the ideal alien i wanna be like..haha...hes cool..cute, adorable..and AMAZING!!!! he is highly intelligent. Who doesn't love Stitch?



Stitch along with my favorite Disney stars.


my fav 6 or 4 hand alien that zaps people!




Its cool to be like Stitch right? he may have 6 hands...but he s adorable and so cute..intelligent also!he is such a cool friend....i want to be like stitch" goofy, weirdo, cool, ". We also share a similarity" crazy, big mouth, love to talk!!!". Kinda like identical twins.! +i relate to Stitch. being that uniquely different, he is able to fit into the Disney family. I hope i do fit in also.

btw..just back from gym with Calvin. 2nd encounter jor...it was ok..alot BIG muscle(scary) uncles and i am not jealous at all. Its okay to build lean , atletic muscles...not bodybuilder type..haha and me and calvin were the only goof balls. We brought such laughter and JOY!..haha..tomorrow going with Ding ..then go yumcha + chat chat.

I WANNA be a cool ALIEN!

A cool Alien.

Kinda feel strange sometimes. I feel alienated at times. I feel like a weirdo. it seems that among my peers, I am the only one that don't really like to go out to 'wek'. Is this weird for a teenager? Seeing that my friends enjoy sleepovers, hangouts, and movie times makes me feel like " why do they like those activities so much?".

Don't get me wrong. I am not a hermit crab but i prefer staying at home , enjoying doing activities that i like, playing with my dog, taking walks at the garden or field. I like going Yumcha at a nearby kopitiam, enjoying my drink , being in an atmosphere that calms me and chat non stop .Its just a laid back life i prefer rather a crazy-fun life. Its not also that i don't like outdoor activities but i prefer like walks at the park? haha..or maybe mountain climbing(mostly nature related).

I miss alot of my friends. Some are away from me , others are drifting further from my life. I do really miss the days where i get the opportunity to chat with them and just talk crazy stuff with them. Like i said: Those were the days!. It seems that i feel drained. There seems nobody for me to like go "hey....!!! or YO YO YO, wats up dude..".I really like walking to tuition. though its a long and hot journey, but i get to chat with my friend(non-stop). I don't get easily excited over things but i do always try to find out more of my friends updates. Everything seems to be drifting away, further from me.

It seems studying life is gonna start ....and all of them are seem drifting away. Why do i suddenly feel that way? Its not lonely but kinda empty? how to say....its like seeing how colorful my friends life are but my life seems dull and grey which i kinda enjoy. And this makes me think " am i that different??" Sometimes i feel being myself can get myself alienated. Well, if i am seen as an alien. i want to be a COOL alien!



like cj7 i wanna zap people..haha..

what up with me? sometimes i kinda want to take up my handphone and give them a call and go like" YO!!!!..whats up ". But....haiz...haha..sometimes either no cash or tak ada guts to do so. Am i actually shutting myself from the outside world?

Inspired and inspire

I can manage to survive and i do hope i can fight till the very end. Now, it seems that my future is uncertain. Its kinda like the sky is in shades of grey and the sight of a mere glimpse of a ray of light seems blocked by the opaque clouds. My future is like holding sand using my fists. I just can't seem to grasp hold over it.

Now it seems that i have only 1 road left-form 6( a path that i had always rejected). haiz...but it just seems that i have to accept fate as it is. So, Bio stream or Fz stream. Architecture is kinda more related to FZ but i seem to have more confidence in taking up BIO. Studying in F6 means i have to face Maths and its gonna be a tough time for me. I feel that i will get tonnes of headaches. And on the top, i have to balance my studies with my co-curricular activities. Can't i just relax and catch a breath for a minute longer? but if i have to study BIO means i have to 'cut' a rat. haiz...i HATE rats.

I feel studying Biology won't break my chances of being an architect. Maybe i can be an architect inspired bt life, eg: the sperm cell, the heart, vessels, exoskeletons, hydrostatic skeleton?. and i could make a fortune because of my unique inspirations..haha. I guess i wil start taking tuition for both BIO and FZ and find which interests me more. I can't afford to take both . Not that ambitious.

i was accepted to Ktar studying architecture but i think i will pass as it seems that the course is still new there. I am just afraid that it may not be recognized. Furthermore, a friend whom i though will be with me if i study in Ktar has changed his mind. Oh well, life goes on.

Architecture: the balance of science and arts. Its so easy to say that but it seems so hard to find the right path to study. the only one word that is making my education harder than ever is -CASH. if only i had the cash.haiz...oh well, i just have to Fight for my passion.

GOD, i just want to stop studying about Maths, or anything not related. I just want to start designing buildings, making leaps and bounds in the world of architecture! i want to be inspired and inspire others! GOSH....i pray i get the JPA scholarship but i know chances are slim, so i'm not really expecting much.

After all, there's nothing wrong to dream.

A dog to remember

Waggie! sounds familiar? Shes my pet dog. Well, shes a mix-breed(should be a shih tzu mixed breed) and shes my best friends. Well, recently, my dog killed a snake. Well, that snake may not be any Anaconda but she snipped it into half...so, i had to give props to my dear old Waggie! Shes around 10 years old already and i do hope she can be with me for a long time. haha...love her like mad. btw, she is a predator-she has killed countless of birds, mice, rats, frogs!

And, the sad thing is that she is getting older from day to day. It seems Waggie has lost the energy to be the crazy dog i love. Yet, she is still 3C-crazy, clever and cunning! haha..

waggie-straight after a bath

as lovely as usual

Gym encounter

In this post, I am gonna talk all about my exposure at the Gym..haha..(pls keep in mind that i am always the lazy -one) haha..
Pre-gym visit:
Before going to a gym, i took Calvin and Oh yes, I drove him to do some research. Among the gyms tat i researched were Pro Muscle, Muscle warrior and also Body Work Fitness Centre. Calvin was of course crazy about leisure and chose Pro muscle because it seems that it has better facilities(the only reason he liked it is because of the LCD Tv they had). I prefered the Body Work. First, its near. Second, Cheap!. Third, near 7 11...can get 100 plus quick!..and ohya, during my visit to Muscle Warrior, i was shocked to see HUGE i say HUGE men with these BIG muscles lifting weights....really scard the hell out of me..haha..

Post gym visit:
The next day, Hooray! went to gym....excited...our instructor was an Indian. At first we cycled for 15 minutes. Canggihnya that bike, can see hor far you cycled, can read your heart beat, can also read your speed. Between me and Calvin, of course my stamina is better! i cycled 1 km more than Calvin.

Then came the weight lifting part. I am weak in this. Its so tiring! cannot stand la...we had to do 12 times for each exercise den exchange between calvin for 3 intervals(3 X 12)., That Calvin was super fast and he did not give me anytime to rest. And guess what after some time, i felt dizzy and really saw stars jor. pening. almost fainted and i rested .

For that, i kena ejek teruk,overall, I am better in stamina and sit ups(which we did later), but Calvin is better in weight lifting(Calvin is Sandking lar)! but,overall gym was kinda fun...looking forward to next 'adventure'

Peel fresh!

Brand new layout, fresh feeling and hope you guys love it as much as i do..haha..i will improve on the entire layout but i just hope that this new LOOK can bring new life! i took some time editing this layout from a Dior(Christian Dior) campaign ...with the help of photoshop and some advice from shao kang! thanks!

JPA full interview

JPA interview today. The interviewers consisted of two guys from JPA and some engineer. All were Malays and this is Panel 3!!! There were 7 in my group:

1. Teluk Anson guy from sam min(back from NS)
2.Indian guy from KK.
3.PGS girl wore green+yellow kebaya
4. chinese girl applying for chemical engineering
5. ME!!!! from Sam tet!
6. Blazer librarian girl
7. AMC girl with pink kebaya

. So, this is my recap:

Selamat petang.....jika tanya dalam BM , jawab dalam BM, jika dalam BI jawab dalam BI, introduce yourself:
My name is Foong you Sheng. i graduated from SMJK Sam Tet. I scored 11A's and 1B for Chinese is my SPM. I am a school debator in my f4 and f5, i represented my school for public speaking. I have a passion for art
and design. I like everything that involves creativity and innovation. I chose architecture as i always had the love and passion for Art. Being a Science student, i always found it hard to find the balance between art and science and i believe Architecture is the path for me. I wilsh to study in UK as i get inspired by buildings in Europe such as the Colosseum in Rome and The Eiffel Tower in Paris. I know Malaysia has the Petronas Twin Towers but i want to build buildings that are iconic like the Birds nest in China for the recent Olympics.

Mat rempit sekarang menjadi isu. Apa pandangan semua?
(i was 3rd to answer). Bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini, kita patut lihat punca masalah ini. Saya rasa
keluarga kini mengabaikan anak-anak mereka kerena bekerja. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini, saya rasa keluarga lah yang memainkan peranan yang penting. kaunseling juga penting. Ibu bapa tidak seharusnya mengunakan alasan sibuk dengan kerja .

after some discussion....

Jabatan kemalangan ada mengadakan kempen bagi menyedarkan remaja supaya memandu dengan cermat. Macam ada kempen yang mengenai kesan kemalangan. mcm Kepala tiada...Untuk menyedarkan Mat rempit ini, kita harus membuat kempen juga.

What do you think about education in Malaysia?
Everything has room for improvement. Even countries like UK and Aus are famous for edu but i believe that everything has room to improve. Being a Science stream student, i feel that students should be given the freedom to choose their subjects. Like, my school only allow us to take all BIo, Chemis and Fizik. If we were given the choice of subjects based on our interest , that would be better.(why the look from the panel thinks that i
keluar tajuk?? OMG)

lifestyle abroad. what do you think?
here, i started to kek gei. I believe that no matter who you are, you need to adapt like a chameleon in order to succeed. Its like I'am an Asian and i can bring my Asian values and practice it in other countries.(then i gek jor....)....I am an Asian right???(OMG)

if i can choose only 1 from 7 of you all to go abroad? who should i pick?
everybody picked themself. Someone said: we have to be selfish sometimes.

i said, this is like a horse race. May the best wins.

If i offer you the scholarship on Bio tech which is different from your choice, will you accept it?
No.I belive that everyone has their own passion and interest. For me, I am passionate about architecture and i will
fight till the very end for that. In life, sometimes, there are many obstacles and challenges but i have to fight through it to achieve my dream. If that does not work out, i just have to choose another path. I believe in taking risks. If i want to succeed, i need to take risks. I am a teen right? Watching shows like American Idol i learnt from the contestants that if you have a dream, you have to fight for it. these people are willing to sacrifice everything for their dream and take risks. For me, i won't accept it as its not my interest. I do not want to waste my place for something i am not interested in. I rather give it to somebody who wants it more.

Men are generally more lazy than girls!!!! Give your comments.(what???)
I disagree. My friends are like so hardworking. it actualy depends on your interest in the end but lest say i have friends who enjoy studying History and excel in that. some men are lazy but we cannot say in general that all Men are lazy.

but itu hanya sebilangan. Those who are hardworking may just be a handful.
well, it depends on their interest in the end. If one is interested in engineering, he will be hardworking as it is his passion.

Studying abroad may change your lifestyle or some may experience culture shock. What do you think?
I believe that as along as we learn from other cultures and apply it , thats great. lets say as an Asian, I can practice my Asian lifestyle abroad and for that people could respect me for staying true to my roots. Its all about learning from others and applying it back in M'sia.

Using ICT in education. Give your opinion.
I believe that ICT is great but spending to time in front of the moniter may tire your eyes. Thats why its okay to have some entertainment as we can look for knowledge for 20 minutes and maybe listen to songs or watch a video for 5 minutes. Thus, we can be rejunevated and fresh and can learn more.

what videos do you watch then?
I go to You tube and watch shows like
American Idol and dramas.



Thats all. Well after the interview, we all were relieved. i thought we worked well as a team. Everyone had the chance to give their opinons. But unlike some friends of mine and my fellow group, i was seldom interupted by the panel.Is thsi a good sign? Dunno and after we came out the girls told me:" You talked alot, of course la,...debator wor...say your English not good...you spoke well.....You and the san min guy spoke so much....when you gave your intro, i forget what to say jor.....i see you also scared to give my opinion."

i though i did Ok...76 out of 100. i wish i could be slower and more steady.
