It was quite tiring sitting for the entrance exam because the duration of the exam was quite long.<br />
<br />
On the day of the exam, I went to school as usual. My Dadi come late morning to pick me up early from school. We had our lunch at home and went to Wesley Methodist School for my entrance exam.<br />
<br />
The journey to the school was not very pleasant. Traffic was a little heavy. I never liked sitting in the car for long hours. Sitting through the journey already made me feel tired.<br />
<br />
I shall not go through the details of the entrance exam. Cutting the long story short, I was accepted to enter Year 7 in 2017. I am currently in Year 5, and if I accepted the offer, I would be able to skip Year 6 next year, and jump straight to Year 7.<br />
<br />
However, my parents and I had decided to decline the offer and for me to remain in SSIS. Many friends do wonder why I went for the entrance exam and did not want to pursue in switching to the new school. Some asked if it was a cost factor because the fees in Wesley Methodist School for next year is more expensive than my current school. I guess it is difficult to explain.<br />
<br />
For me, I personally did not want to switch school. I am happy in my current school. I do not have the heart to change school.<br />
<br />
I am sorry as I am unable to express here the reasons why we decided to stay in my current school. It is just too difficult for me to explain.<br />

I am currently preparing for my Electone Grade 6 exam next year. It is something which is not enjoyable and kind off stressful.<br />
<br />
This is my second year playing the piano for my school Chapel. I have started playing for church service this year. I am grateful for the opportunity to play the piano as I really enjoy playing. It can be tiring at times because I have to attend practices but I am happy to be able to play.<br />
<br />
I hope that I can pick up guitar later. Right now I do not have time to do so. Perhaps later.<br />
<br />
Music was very much part of my life since I was a baby. Mami would always share with me the times when she had to carry and sing to me just to make me fall asleep. I have watched many videos of me sitting next to her on the piano, trying to sing a song when I was about 3 to 4 years old. Really brings back good memories to Mami.<br />
<br />
I pray that God will be able to expand my musical talent. What I have, I give back to God.<br />

This year has been busy and quite tiring. Time flies and I just realised that there are just a few more months to year end.<br />
<br />
I hope to be able to record more of my memories here. Though tiring, I am really happy for all that God has blessed me with.<br />
<br />
Just to share with you a lovely picture of Shaun Shaun TiTi and I.<br />

I composed a song to express my feelings towards my teachers. This is how much I truly appreciate all my teachers.<br />
<br />
I shall pen down the lyrics of the song here, for me to remember this song because this song is very dear to me.<br />
<br />
When I was young<br />
I didn't know a lot of things<br />
I had no where to turn<br />
Had no where to go<br />
<br />
I prayed all day<br />
Seeking light through the dark tunnel<br />
Oh God come hear my prayer<br />
Come hear my heart's desire<br />
<br />
You came into my life<br />
Shining like a star<br />
Could you be the answer to our prayer<br />
<br />
Thank you for all the smiles you bring to me<br />
Thank you for all the help you gave to me<br />
Thank you for all the times you held my hands<br />
What will I be without you<br />
Without you<br />
<br />
And as I grew<br />
You taught me kindness and love<br />
Friendship, respect for all<br />
You build my confidence<br />
<br />
You gave me wisdom<br />
And also lots of knowledge<br />
I am all that I can be<br />
I will shine for you<br />
<br />
<br />
My teachers were all touched by the song. Shaun Shaun Titi and I sang a duet, as I played the piano. Shaun was great.... he sang very well.<br />
<br />
Happy Teacher's Day.<br />

It has been very exhausting. Yesterday marks my 5th of the year.<br />
<br />
Competitive swimming has never been easy. You feel pressured to improve your timing in every competition. There has been ups and downs. Sometimes I swim really well, and sometimes, not so well. My timing for all events are not very far away, but I know that I have improved in every competition that I have participated in.<br />
<br />
It has been fun participating with my swimming friends. Last month, my swimming competition was held in Malacca and I followed my coach and friends to Malacca. We stayed overnight in Malacca on our own. I was surprised that I felt excited staying with them. I had a great time.<br />
<br />
I hope I am able to do better in my swimming events. I hope I am able to gain more energy and endurance to improve my swimming stamina. I guess, more training is required to do so.<br />

School has been keeping me all busy.<br />
<br />
From the beginning of the year, I have been busy with my school homework. We have had many projects to work on, especially for Science. There was also projects given for Geography and History. All of these projects are group projects, which made it even more challenging as you have to think how to distribute the work and arrange for a meet up. As everyone is busy with their own activities, getting a day free for a project meet up is difficult. Therefore, my strategy has always been completing the project within one day during our meetup. The chances of meeting up another day would be slim.<br />
<br />
I am happy that my projects have been successful, and good. I am proud of the results, especially the end product of the work. Projects are interesting, but can be really tiring. I guess hard work pays off.<br />

Shaun TiTi and I were very excited to go to Bangkok as we have never been there before.<br />
<br />
We went to the airport by taxi. The taxi was easy to book as the taxi driver was Dadi's friend, Uncle Sharidan. Once we reached the airport, we met our grandparents there. They ran to us and hugged us. We felt very happy. As Dadi was an Enrich member, we could enter a priority lane and also a Golden Lounge. We met friendly staff who allowed Shaun TiTi and I to enter the lounge free.<br />
<br />
The food in the lounge was very tasty with a good variety. I ate lots of bread, some yogurt and a bowl of Wan Ton Mee. I also drank some soft drinks. Shaun Titi ate Nasi Lemak without Sambal as he cannot take spicy food. Our family enjoyed the food and drinks in the lounge.<br />
<br />
Our journey on the plane was wonderful as there was no flight delay. We sat down on our seats while getting ready to take off. There was a safety video before we took off. The Captain told all the crew members to sit down and prepare for take off. The plane started to move along the runway making a funny sound. It started to move faster and faster and then we were airborne and on our way to Bangkok.<br />
<br />
We had some food on the plane as we were hungry. We ate some rice with sweet and sour chicken. The food was very tasty. I gobbled all the food into my mouth. We also had some drinks, I drank apple juice and my brother drank some orange juice.<br />
<br />
We watched some movies on the plane such as The Peanut Movie. The movie was funny, as it was about a boy named Charlie Brown who was always a loser. Charlie Brown had a dog called Snoopy, he wrote a love story about how it met a female dog. In the end, Charlie fell in love with a girl and Snoopy finished his love story with a happy ending.<br />
<br />
We finally arrived in Bangkok! It felt so nice to touch the ground. Bangkok was very cold because there was a cold front blowing from China. We got off the plane and went to collect our bags. Our bags came quickly as our bags had a priority tag. We went straight to the taxi and the taxi driver drove us to our hotel.<br />

<br />Ben and Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646647632875407768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164932.post-80328316428174718642016-02-26T12:02:00.003+08:002016-05-30T10:11:46.359+08:00Swim The World (STW) - Learning that Makes a Difference.My Shaun TiTi and I learn swimming at Swim The World (STW), UCSI University, Taman Connaught. STW has two branches, Swim The World at Taman Connaught and Splash the World, Bandar Mahkota Cheras. I understand that the Bandar Mahkota Cheras branch not only provides swimming lessons, but also lessons for babies. The pool is smaller, but it is a heated pool. Perfect for babies and younger children.<br />
<br />
I wish to share my experience in this swimming club. I have experienced another swimming club, but have settled for STW as I am very comfortable there.<br />
<br />
STW has good dedicated teachers.<br />
<br />
The senior coach, Coach Ronald is very good in teaching with a variety of teaching methods, tailoring to the uniqueness of each student. I know this because Shaun Shaun TiTi and I had different learning stages with him. He made each student comfortable in learning at our own pace. I had a bad experience previously with a different coach, and it really shattered my swimming confidence. I refused to learn swimming. I certainly wished I did not need to learn to swim. Shaun Shaun was so fearful of water at the beginning. I still remember him hugging Coach Ronald like a koala bear, refusing to enter his head into the water. Coach Ronald was very patient with him, rewarding him for the little achievements he made. Coach was also able to push us to our limits without us even knowing it, or realising it. He knows our strengths, he knows our weaknesses. With his constant encouragements, Shaun Shaun and I were able to continue our lessons, and strive to do better.<br />
<br />
Coach Ronald is not the only good coach that I had experience. Coach Kai was also good but a little more stern. He is great with kids who requires a more strict teaching method. Having said that, he too is able to tailor his teaching methods to the student's character. Both Shaun Shaun and I do not suit a strict and stern coach. We needed a coach who could insert a little fun into our lessons. Coach Kai was also able to make my lessons fun as well. I guess the coaches in this swimming club seem to be able to understand their swimmers, and are able to switch their teaching methods to motivate and make swimming fun, yet effective.<br />
<br />
I had the opportunity to also experience a lady coach, Coach Zahra. She taught the Advance Class for a few months. However, she was then reassigned to build up the lessons at the new branch at Bandar Mahkota Cheras. I was very sad to hear the news when she left. With a short period of time teaching us, she has helped us improve our swimming endurance. Even through she has gone to teach in another branch, she was still supporting the advance team indirectly. She would send encouraging texts to the Advance Group WhatsApp.<br />
<br />
As a child and student, we have to be quick in adapting into lessons we attend. The coaches at STW makes a whole lot of difference in shorting our adaptation period. They also have apparatus to assist them in making their lessons fun. These are normally used for younger students. Swimming lessons are meant to be enjoyable and fun.<br />
<br />
I am grateful to to be a student in STW. Now that I have advanced to the elite team of the club, I am experiencing new things day by day. I am learning the meaning of focus, discipline and endurance. I am learning the meaning of working as a team, and supporting each other, especially when one is weak. As the coach emphasized in one of our advance training lesson, if a member is swimming with the wrong technique, we are responsible to correct him/her. We are responsible for each other. We have to back each other up and support each other. This is why STW makes a great club to be in.<br />
<br />

It was a great time of fun with my coach and friends. It provides a platform for me to gain more experience in competitive swimming. I may not be the best to win anything, but I am still proud to be able to participate and improve myself in every competition that I have participated in. It promotes great teamwork within our swimming club. Friendships will also blossom in time.<br />

It was a great time of togetherness. I have always enjoyed my time with all the Kor Kors and Cheh Chehs in the Homefellowship. I enjoyed playing a card game called Bang! with them all night till 3a.m.<br />
<br />
This is probably the last time I can celebrate with them because almost all of them have left to another church, forming another new group. I hope I get the opportunity to have more celebrations in the future.<br />

The year 2015 ended very well for me. God has been good and gracious. The most joyful part of being a student was that I did well in my studies academically and I am also part of the school's worship team to play the piano. It was an honour for me to play the keyboard during the school's Speech Day last year. I pray that God will continue to grow my talent in the area of music. I was also very proud to see my younger brother Shaun TiTi to received two awards with me. He certainly worked hard for it too.<br />

In addition to that, Shaun TiTi and I also received a Kumon Award for excelling in maths. We were doing worksheets 5 years ahead from our age group. I was also honoured to be selected as a Moderator for a session, and received RM250 MPH vouchers as a moderator. It was certainly an auspicious occasion for us at JW Marriot.<br />

I bid 2015 farewell and now that I am in 2016, I know that there will be lots of work for me. It will be a challenging year as I start serving in church on the keys. I pray that God will use me to do His work. I pray that I am able to manage my time well, as I am very active in my swimming training now. I pray that I am able to excel in swimming as well. I have participated recently in 2 swim competitions over the past month, and I pray that through these exposures, I am able to be a better swimmer.</div>

My Ah Mah likes to watch Korean Cooking Shows in Channel 601 HyppTV. I would always join her because I enjoy watching that particular channel too. I personally like to eat spaghetti. I attempted to cook spaghetti one evening, and it turned out well.<br />

<br />
It was a great exposure for me. I was very pleased with my swimming results, as I manage to significantly break my own personal timing.<br />
<br />
It was also a stressful time for me. I really wanted to swim well for the competition and to add on to my stress, my school final exam was just round the corner. I thank God that He preserved me and gave me strength to do well in my swim competition and in my final exams.<br />

I was under the category of 10-12 years old boys event. I was required to swim 200m and run 2km. It was a great experience, an experience I would cherish.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Swimming 200m was not difficult for me. As an advance swimmer, I am used to swimming 200m. However, running 2km was not easy. I did not have much stamina to race after swimming 200m. It was easy to complete the race, but difficult to complete with a top 10 position. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Through this event, I also learnt that most of us who are first timers took a long time to transition from swimming to running. As soon as we completed our swimming, we were expected to run to a transition point to change. Before the event, we had already placed our belongings in a basket assigned to us individually. I had to remove my googles and cap. I had to then wipe myself dry to wear my t-shirt and wear my shoes. To save time, I wore my shoes without socks. I took awhile to wear my shoes as my feet were still a little wet. Once I was ready, I had to set off to run 2km.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I enjoyed myself and was glad to have been able to participate in this event. I hope there would be such an event next year. I hope to do better next year.</div>

Every month, we would have our listening and speaking assessment in school. Most of the time, we are asked to do an individual, or a group presentation for our English assessment. All my presentations have been good. My previous presentation was probably the best. I partnered with a friend and we did a promotional presentation on a swimwear called Funky Trunks. I sang a promotional song during the presentation too.<br />

<br />
For the final English presentation, I announced to the class that my final presentation would be of a more serious topic. I narrated the Story of God's Creation. I wanted to thank and honour God for the fruitful year in school. God has blessed me tremendously. So, I wanted my presentation to be biblical.<br />
<br />
It was a little harder to prepare for the presentation. I needed visual aids. Fortunately Mami helped me with some ideas. I had Shaun Shaun TiTi to help me in making the visual aids. He is certainly more artistic than I am.<br />

<br />
We used cardboard the most in our visual aids. We prepared:<br />
1. The black round earth which represents darkness, and orange sun behind which represents light.<br />
2. Clouds and waters, and separating them...made the sky.<br />
3. Sun, moon and stars.<br />
4. Living creatures<br />
5. A man - Adam<br />

Praise God my presentation went well. My teacher and friends gave good comments and my teacher's final words were "Keep it up!"Ben and Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646647632875407768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164932.post-17775983564168711892015-08-31T08:49:00.000+08:002015-08-31T08:49:41.627+08:00Morning MusicI love to sing at home. I may not sing a song but may hum to a certain tune. Otherwise, I would just make noises which sounds like music.<br />
<br />
This is my trademark at home. Despite Mami calling me noisy, my noise and music still fills the house with joyful laughter.<br />
<br />
Music is very much part of my life. What would I do without music.Ben and Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646647632875407768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164932.post-39410395532949509232015-08-06T12:06:00.002+08:002015-08-06T12:06:44.161+08:00No More ....Last month was my last lessons for my Basic Swim group class at Bandar Tun Razak swimming pool. I am in a way happy and sad. Happy because I can now concentrate on my advance classes in the UCSI pool which I go about 4 times a week. Sad because I really like Coach Zoey. She is good and nice. I enjoyed her swim lessons and my cousin Ashley Cheh Cheh is in the same class. Unfortunately Coach Zoey no longer wants to teach the basic group class.<br />
<br />
Life goes on. I want to still pursue swimming and I am hoping to be good in it.Ben and Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646647632875407768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164932.post-38635899391190107192015-08-05T20:59:00.000+08:002015-08-05T20:59:10.119+08:00Making Music Wherever I AmI love music. I love singing. I may not be extremely good in singing but I can still sing in perfect pitch. I can harmonise a song well. My vocal range may not be very wide though.<br />
<br />
I sing at home very often. I sing in the shower. I sing when I am in a good mood. I sometimes sing while doing homework. I love to take a common tune and add my own lyrics. I can be quite creative with words.<br />
<br />
Recently a classmate and I had to do a promotional presentation for English Listening and Speaking assessment. As we were both swimmers, we decided to promote a swimwear called Funky Trunks. We prepared attractive visual art materials for the presentation. For the closing of the presentation, I presented a song entitled "Do you want a Funky Trunk?" The song was catchy and everyone loved the song. They enjoyed our presentation too.<br />
<br />
Singing brings lots of joy and laughter to our family at home. Our whole family can sing. Shaun TiTi can sing very well too. Noone is tone deaf in the family... eer.. except for my Ah Mah.Ben and Shaunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09646647632875407768noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164932.post-50339362968753499742015-08-03T21:17:00.000+08:002015-08-03T21:17:03.066+08:00Church Family Day 2015Our church had a Family Day a few months back. It was organised jointly by Young People and Children Ministry. As Mami is a Children Ministry teacher, she was automatically in the committee who had to organise the event. It was held in our school hall.<br />
<br />
I was very happy as I was part of the organising committee for the event. I helped in giving ideas on the games prepared. I helped with the preparations for the hall decoration. Finally, I was proud to be in co-MC for the event with my Kai Yeh.<br />
<br />
Family Day turned out good, and we enjoyed ourselves very much.<br />

I don't know what I have been busy with, but I know I have been busy because this blog was not updated more than a month.<br />
<br />
Last month was the month of May. Looking back, I can't recall why I was busy. All I remember was that there was much to do in school. Teachers were rushing to complete some lessons and there were lots of assessments held. One thing I remember very clearly was the projects that I was busy with. I had individual and group projects for English, Science, History, Mandarin, practically most of my subjects. I was glad that Mami helped me alot in reminding me and scheduling my time for my projects. She rushed me to complete my projects as fast as I could because many projects were running concurrently. I had to quickly complete one after another. Mami did not want me to work on multiple projects at the same time. Praise God. All my projects were completed way before the due date.<br />
<br />
Other than that, I do not remember what I was busy with. All I remember was that Mami would always ask Shaun Shaun TiTi and I to call Mah Mah and Yeh Yeh in Ipoh to chat with them. However, Shaun Shaun TiTi and I would be so distracted, we ended up forgetting to do so. So, Mah Mah and Yeh Yeh, if you are reading this post, please forgive us. I do not know why we were so distracted. I guess we were always rushing to complete our work, hoping that we can switch on the TV earlier. We didn't want to cut short our TV time. We are sorry.<br />
<br />
There were other events that made Shaun Shaun and I busy but I shall share with you in another post.<br />
<br />
God bless you.<br />

It was a simple celebration at home, but I was touched as I felt special on that day.<br />
<br />
My Ah Mah and Kakak prepared food and some simple home deco for my birthday. We have never had anything like this before. It was a last minute idea by Ah Mah to blow some balloons and write a birthday greeting with a highlighter on a big piece of paper.<br />
<br />
I am really blessed. Mami had posted on Facebook about my birthday, reminding me of how blessed I am. I pray that I will be a blessing to others around me too.<br />
<br />
Thank you God for all that you have blessed me with.<br />

His stage name is Dion from Indonesia. I was amazed and fascinated with how he performed all his songs. I was just so in awe. I was so glad to have had the opportunity to take a personal photo with him. I pray that I will be able to play the electone like him. He is not only good in his technical skills, but he presented his songs in an amazingly creative manner. <div>

It is called the Asian Geographic Junior. I have read two latest issues and I find it very interesting. The magazine is full of good educational facts, exposing me to general knowledge around Asia. If you are looking for a new magazine to read, do give it a try. Believe me... it is worth while reading it. I shall not tell you more, and let you discover it on your own.<br />

My coach had introduced Aqua Zumba as part of our physical exercise. It seems that 1 minute of exercise in water is equivalent to 3 minutes of exercise on land.<br />
<br />
I find it fun to dance in the pool. We dance in the pool with cool, loud music. The steps seems easy to follow, but believe me... it can be very tiring.<br />
