Happy Birthday Jo!

I remember it was about 6 years ago,
when i first met this guy.
I was not close to him, at all.
Not until form 1
we became closer.
He was always there to support me,
when i need help.
He was always there,
to share my happiness.
You may not remember those days,
but i always do.
You may not need me as your friend,
but i will always be proud to know you,
as my friend.
Thank you,
for being my friend.
And lastly,
Happy Belated Birthday,
to my dear friend,
Bryan Lim Jo-Tshen.

Vote Earth!

I'm just one person, what can i do about global warming?
No, you can now.

What is that?
Earth Hour 2009 is 8:30–9:30 March 28 2009. Currently, 82 countries and more than 2100 cities are 'committed to Earth Hour 2009', a huge increase from people participating in 35 countries for Earth Hour 2008. 1 billion 'votes' is the stated aim for Earth Hour 2009 in the context of the pivotal 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference.

What can you do?
Turn off all non-essential lights. If you’re at home, off all the lights for just an hour. Play hide and seek, have a BBQ dinner outside the house, have a campfire, take a night walk outside, go drinking with buddies in the dark(could be fun!). Be creative, just turn off the lights for an hour. You could also all go to a friends house and stay there so that you can reduce energy. Or switch on all the lights and see how long it takes before someone knocks on your door! Come to think about it, it is not that long, just an hour.

All these, just for an hour?
Not really. Earth hour is just an exercise for everyone to realize that one by one, we can make a difference. We should not just rely on the authorities to save the world, we too can make a difference.

Some tips:

• Each day, off all non-essential lights. Like for example, if your house have ample of windows, open the curtains and let natural light come in during the day. Like that, we can save the energy from the light.
• If you’re on a laptop, try to use the battery first and only charge it when necessary. Try not to leave the adaptor on the laptop for a long time. This could spoil your laptop and also you could save energy.

Information from here and here.

Maybe you will think, how stupid to off all the lights for nothing, NO! Its not for nothing! You are saving our home, the Earth! One person may not be able to change the world, but together we'll definitely make a difference! Register and vote here! Every vote counts! I've signed up, what are you waiting for? Also, i urge everyone to post about Earth Hour in their blog, and add " I Vote Earth! " to your messenger personal message!

Feel free to pm me for any plan on Earth hour!

Please, it makes a different, just 60 minutes!

Yongjie: Turn off, for a better tomorrow!

1. What is your name: Ho Yong Jie

Then tried a personality test that many people had tried:

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education
Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Quite true, i agree with most of them =D

SS is officially dead

Organized 1 SS(football) this morning, after 365 days plus, and after 30 minutes of warm up then we got chased by some teacher from that school. She said they spent hundreds of thousands upgrading the field, we must get our school's approval to play, and told the guard to lock the door. Yea you spent hundreds of thousands to upgrade it, i see no changes anyways. I promised we won't spoil anything, yet she insists we must leave. Come on la, what can we do to destroy the field that you have spent hundreds of thousands to upgrade? Even if we pee there we're fertilizing your grass too! So, i guess, SS' revival is hopeless now.

Then we went to the futsal pitch near Guan's house. The field's condition was bad, very bad, however we enjoyed it. It was really fun and full of laughters. The game was great for me. Will get the picture from Jun Weng soon and maybe by that time you will know why it was so fun xD

Then, its ' de POST' as requested by Jo

De POST
Went to gym with Likai and Bryan, and met up with Jun Weng after gym for... Breakfast? Yea i guess, it was still morning. Met Nich and Jason at Nanking too.

Handsome! NOT GAY!

Ser-Jo Busquet?
We call him 'Epitome Cliche' !
Err, wow...

Once again i thank all my friends who came this morning, and a special guest from Seri Kembangan, Jon Guan. I deeply apologise for the failure of SS.

Yongjie: We don't need a 'hundreds of thousands upgraded' field,
We just want an ordinary field to play football!

Football in Malaysia

I was chatting with Likai, and we talked bout our country's footballers and we found some interesting but sad facts:

Did you know?

1. It takes 8 days for Ricardo Kaka, FIFA World Player in year 2007, to become a millionaire. It takes 1102 days for our highest paid player - yet not local - Frank Seator, to become a millionaire.
2. It costs £94 to watch an Arsenal match, RM8 to watch Selangor FA, yet the stadium is empty.
3. You can't watch any Super League - our league, nice name la - games on TV now, they've got no money to broadcast it.
4. Another reason for not broadcasting it is because they believe by doing so, more people will go to the stadium. And the stadium, yea, still... empty. No people actually realised that TV no longer showing the games, not even i do. No one cares.
5. The controversial decision by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) banning foreign players from the Malaysian League next season will change the football landscape: Yup, indeed, from bad to worse.
6. Golden Boot winner Marlon Alex James of Kedah led the charts with 23 goals followed by Carlos Caceres of Perak (17), Frank Seator of Selangor (15) and Walter Ariel Silva of Johor FC (14). The best Malaysian player not even in the list - He scored only 13 goals. How do you improve your league without foreign players?
7. Ban on foreign players has just made malaysia football more boring and less competitive. When the foreigners were around, it made locals work harder for a place in the team. Without them, who wants to work hard?
   
8. Someone - Er Hrm, someone la - suggested we should stop the league for 1 year, i doubt he knows how many people will lose their jobs - from players, referee, coaches, and so on.
9. There are 24 coaches in just 40 years for Malaysia National Team, not a single coach has lasted longer than 2 years - clearly, they always put blames on coaches when they failed.
10. In Malaysia, when a player joins a club, the first thing they want to know is whether the club able to pay their salary or not. In England, especially in Premier League, players want to know how much the club willing to pay.
11. When you look at the World Ranking at fifa.com, there are only 5 pages, and you can't find Malaysia in the first 3 pages - We are at the 161th at the 4th page, out of 200 plus national teams. In other words, among the last.

Malaysia Boleh? Boleh...

Yongjie thinks that Malaysia Boleh

Responsibility

Today, we talk bout responsibility.

A week ago, i lent my tie to some unknown in form 4 during photographic session. Yes, unknown. Eunice asked me to lend him, so i did, which i think i shouldn't have. After i gave him my tie, moments later it was our class turn for photo shoot. Myself have to borrow from others, how funny that i brought my tie but i have to borrow from others. So, i did not get my tie back from that boy. He did not look for me either.

Then the next day i went to his class. I can't recognize who was that, because i wasn't wearing my specs. I can hardly recognize him. I found someone that look like him, but not very sure if it was him. He insisted he didn't get the tie from me but from Eugene instead. I had no choice but to leave, since i have not enough evidence.

I asked Eugene and Eunice to find for me. I didn't expect much tho. I lost my tie, not them, they probably won't really help me to look for it. Then i got to know the boy's name from Eunice. I went to his class and i saw his name tag. Yup, it was that person that insisted he got the tie from Eugene.

He followed me to see Eugene and they two argued. I remember clearly i gave the tie to him MYSELF. While he insists he got it from Eugene. I was angry and i scolded him. He gave me 10 bucks and left. Then a classmate of mine, who i believe is a friend of they boy, asked why did i do that, and she has an extra tie, she can give it to me.

What i wana say is:

• It's not about whether i get a tie or not, it's regarding his responsibility. He borrowed my tie, so he should be responsible for it, look for me, even if he lost it.
• You should analyse the situation rationally and objectively, he should be responsible for it, not you.
• If you give me your tie, you are responsible for it, which you shouldn't. Its just like he killed someone and he ran, leaving all the responsibilities to you.
  
• Even if i get a tie from you, i will still find him. He must be responsible for his mistake.
• In this incident, i feel very innocent.
  

I am not blaming anyone, not even that boy. I just want him to be responsible. Now i got 10 bucks from him, and i think the tie costs roughly around 7 bucks. I will return the change to him. I have learnt a lesson, not to lend something to some unknown.

Yongjie feels innocent
