I was doing some editing to my photos and i stumbled upon those pictures i took back in kampung. And i realized i have some of it which i wanted to share with u guys.

You know.. i've tried to do those jumping shots, and i think im bad at it.

Let's see:

ok.. maybe everyone is not ready. Just look at me. The excitement and the semangatnye untuk melompat.

Maybe that's not so bad. Let's see the next one:

That is what happen if you're too old among those in the shoot.

Aaahh.. This is one is classic. I can't believe my younger cousins and bro can emo too!

Let make a short story out of this:

One day, I tried to ride somebody's bike without permission.

And since my mom doesn't allow me to ride bike, she was angry and kicked me out of the house.

For several days, i was left outside wondering what should i do.

Luckily my brother asked me work with him, and now we ended up selling petrol and tyres by the roadside..

haha. can lah. im bored that's why.

A Start To 2008

Hey guys..

Well, im back with lots of stories in store!

First and foremost, im a teacher now! well, relief of course. i ended up late the first day when the person called me at 7.10, askin me to report to school at 8! To add more misery, i ended up at the wrong place. i went to admiralty pri instead of the sec sch which i supposed to report at! Baaad start.

Teaching was ok. I taught 4NT, 2NA and 1NT that day. Particularly lost where shld i go during recess so i sat with my 4NT class in the canteen. Anyway, I had to replace an english teacher who was on an urgent leave so yes... i was asked to teach english and english lit! Not my strongest of subjects as you know me, but still.. its not THAT bad.

Im not going to elaborate on what i'd taught them or how i'd taught them, bcos im afraid my students will read this! All i can say is.. its kind of weird being a teacher because i was a student myself just last year. Entering a class and introducing myself as 'Mr Khai' and by saying 'Good Morning Class', it feels so different. I sensed the great responsibilites, the demand of the job and the need to know when to be fun and and when to be serious. I feel so grown up now. (haha. yes khai u've just grown up by 5 sec after typing this.) The feeling of going into the staff room, getting to my desk, having lunch at the teacher's lounge and chats with my colleagues, it is a whole new thing for me.

Some excerpts from my students:

"Cher, can i go toilet?"
"Cher, can u help me edit my compo?"
"Cher, u got friendster anot?"

last but not least, bonus question:

"Cher, u married already ah?"

haha! well, im not. do i look like one?



I really need some serious cutting to my hair. Its so long and i may end up in detention man.
Anyway, i'll be a physics teacher soon. This reminds me of something.

Teacher: What is the unit of power.
Students: Watt!
Teacher: What is the unit of power.
Students: Watt!
Teacher: Im not asking you all a question. im saying.. Watt is unit of power.

haha. typical Mr Tan back in CCKSS.

Besides that, i went for the RSAF Compass Test. It was a long 5 hours tiring, mentally draining test. I had both good and bad experience throughout the whole procedure.

The bad news is.. the jetfigther stimulator test, i think i didn't do that well because my plane, which was supposed to go through smoothly through the loops, didnt go as planned and it was moving sideways uncontrollably due to the high sensitivity of the joystick. (not mentioning my bad handling too)

The good news is.. i scored full marks for 2 tests. the mental sum(thank god i took math in school) and concentration test(alhamdullilah i was gifted with a very focused mind). The multi-tasking test; consist of right hand handling the joystick(up and down only), listening to errors in mental sum( and by pressing the trigger whenever there's errors), left hand doing the typing of the instruction given AND the legs to move left or right. quite demanding but gladly, i scored 5/8.

hopefully, if i do passed this test, i'll be called for the interview soon. do pray for me ok?

A fusion of piano and Steinberger guitar of the song "Love Story". Cool!

The First Test

Im excited but nervous on the same time.
I'd received a letter from RSAF for an Aptitude Selection System(Compass) Test on the 14th of Jan.
This is going to be my first major test towards my dream.
Im not sure if this is going to be my big break, but whatever the outcome is, it happens for a reason.
Im feeling optimistic.
Every dream has its own challenges and obstacles, and in this case, i knew it won't be any less then a rough journey.
No doubt, many aspiring young men like me wish everything is planned out for them ideally, according to their preferences.
The chances of being a pilot is like hoping to get into top 10 in the batch, out of thousands.
Yes, the chances are slim, but remained focus towards my aim is the utmost importance.
Im not giving this up without a fight.
Im sure, like any other people who share this same dream, will give their best shot.
Im no different.



Second plan? Let's not think about it first.

Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008

2007 has came to an end. 4 days ago to be exact. haha. And a new year has already begun.

To think about what i've done in 2007, i should say it is one of my hardest and tiring year i've ever had, but of cos i do have some of the memorable things that i'll never forget.

Basically 2007 was the year of my A levels. I would admit it is one of the most challenging period in my life to deal with. Since the day i've accomplished the O's, i thought i would never go and push myself like this again. I was considering to go to poly. But being Khairul Ruzaini here, he is always trying to score against the odds and do something different. It is a positive thing to do, but sometimes our effort doesn't match with the things that we want. So being me again, there's alot of instances whereby i didn't put enough effort to do what im supposed to do during my 2 years stint in PJC. Only during the 2nd phase of the challenge that i've finally set aside a whole lot of time revising with different types of people. It helped so far and im glad it did.

Other than that, 2007 was also something for me to remember of because i've achieved my target that i've set since primary school. I've always wanted to win the overall individual champion during sports day. Since my pri sch days, i always play as the second fiddle. Being 2nd has been part of my life. It can be frustrating though but that has been a motivational factor for me to push on. I remained hopeful throughout these years and thank god it pays off in 2007. I've won gold in 100m, 200m and 4x100m and not to forget a record-timing of 10.96s for 100m. The record was not something that i've aimed for but i'll take the credit anyway. hehe. Luck do play a part too. To realize that it was my last sport's day, im happy that i've rounded off my sport's day years in a memorable fashion. Alhamdullilah.

2007 has also been memorable because i've learnt about life skills with more in-depth which are of real-importance such as self-independent, discipline and resilience. Independent meaning i myself has to be responsible for my own learning and not being pushed on by teachers like what i've used to back in sec sch days and not to forget, the work i had at Bookfest. Discipline because i've learn to plan out my to-do and not-to-do activities better and resilience for being cool and strong enough to overcome barriers even when the chips are down.

Hopefully, with 2008 draw to a new beginning, everything will be just fine and there's some things to be remember of. More work, A level results and of cos, the Army Days. Let's start!
