Is A-levels tough you asked? Well, my answer will be no, AS LONG AS you put your heart to it, it will definitely not be a hurdle to you.
For me, I was a science student when I was studying A-levels with subject combination of Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics. There is definitely ups and downs throughout the journey, but trust me, as long as your goal is clear, with good time management and hard work to your studies, it will pay off.
Many students suffer from juggling too much subjects, for me it's important that you need to have a least sense of passion to the subject you are learning. For example, Mathematics, you need to be at least not afraid of numbers to do it. MENTALITY IS THE KEY. You need to know that you can do it and you will do it.
Being an A-levels student means that you will need to have GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT SKILL, click here to see my Life Of Being An A-levels student post. Well-balanced time for academics and also leisure, it is very essential for your life as a student. You need to know, WORK HARD, PLAY HARD.
Another key of sailing through A-levels will be SETTING YOUR PRIORITY RIGHT. I won't say that hanging out with friends and doing leisure activities are a waste of time, no they aren't, but then this will link back to your main goal of the day, what is that you want? Hence, being well cleared that you know your GOALS, then strive to it, and you must set the priorities right.
Don't forget, nothing can come out just a night, you definitely need to put in time and effort, only success will comes to you.

Life Of Being An A-Levels Student
Oh hey there!
I see you there! So I bet you are here for a reason. Maybe you are an A-Levels student, maybe you are deciding to choose A-levels or not, maybe you just randomly stumbled upon this site. But by reading this blog, there will definitely be benefits for you, I promise!
So here I will list down 5 things I have learnt about being an A-levels student!
1) It's all about time management!
You will be having a test next morning at the first class, now you are burning midnight oil, trying to squeeze all the maths formula in that tired brain of yours. You feel like dying, you feel like you will be failing your test tomorrow, experience that before? (I bet you did) That is the typical BAD TIME MANAGEMENT of a student.
It is important to have a good time management especially when you have different subjects in college/university to juggle around. Get your exam dates right, be well prepared before the exam, for me personally, depending on the amount of things that I need to study, it can vary from 3 days to 1 week for a test or even 3 months to 5 months for a major exam. I think it's very flexible to any individuals, shorter or longer time period, as long as you are able to finish the syllabus, and be very prepared no matter how the question twist itself, then you will be fine!
2) Do your past-year papers!
Another key of be well prepared for your exams will definitely be able to familiarized yourself with the exam paper itself. Be sure that you did sufficient amount of past year papers, but don't just do it without gaining anything from it, you should familiarized yourself with the format of the paper, and try different variation of questions, so you will be able to be calm in the exam even though it is something you are not so sure about.
3) Have enough rest
A good rest is essential for your mind to work, it don't just let you be fully awake for the next day, but it is essential for you to remember what you have learnt during the day. Getting a full 8 hours sleep will let you be healthier and also more alert!
4) Get a study group
Getting a few friends and have a study group is not just changing of knowledge between each other, but it will also be a challenge to you of what you already know. For example, your friend don't understand a question in physics, you know how to solve it, but not how to explain it, and this will further challenge your own knowledge as I was once told by my teacher, "If you know how to solve but not how to explain, it just proves that you still don't truly understand." Hence, getting into a study group will definitely be beneficial to everyone in the group.
5) Lastly, HAVE FUN
Being a student is stressful enough with pile of homework, test, exams. What you need to know is you need to have fun, get into a club that you like, invest your time to play. I personally love to play table tennis (and lucky that there's a table tennis court in my college). Hang out with your friends, have some drinks, this should be part of your college/ university life too! It's not all about the work and the books. Enjoy while it last!

I Want To Touch A Dog - Malaysia In Depth

Activity "I Want To Touch A Dog" has made a huge reaction in the society in Malaysia recently, where Malaysia as a Muslim country, in the Wikipedia it says
"Many Muslim jurists consider dogs to be ritually unclean. (najis)However, "jurists from the Sunni Maliki School disagree with the idea that dogs are unclean." Individual fatāwā ("rulings") have indicated that dogs be treated kindly or otherwise released and earlier Islamic literature often portrayed dogs as symbols of highly esteemed virtues such as self-sacrifice and loyalty, which, in the hands of despotic and unjust rulers, become oppressive instruments."
On 25 October, Syed Azmi has made a statement of apology towards the uneasy and reaction of some part of society. But he also mention that this program is to educate Muslim to overcome the fear of dogs, under the Islam rules to correctly treat dogs, and it is definitely not promoting Muslims to have dogs as pets.
He said that
"Kami akui kelemahan dan minta maaf. Kami tidak pernah galakkan orang Islam untuk pegang anjing tanpa sebab,"
"We know our weaknesses and we apologize about it. We never once promote Islams to hold dogs without a reason"
Based on Sin Chew Newspaper, Syed Azmi one day will get roughly 2000 threat SMS-es (including death threats).
So what's your view about this issue? Let me know in comment section!
THE MAZE RUNNER // MOVIE REVIEW

The Maze Runner.
Synopsis:
Thomas is deposited in a community of boys after his memory is erased, soon learning they're all trapped in a maze that will require him to join forces with fellow "runners" for a shot at escape.
Okay, not going to spoil much over here, and here's the trailer!
The trailer is amazing, but what I can say, the movie experience is even more amazing! It is definitely a must watch in 2014, and if you haven't read the book yet, even better! The whole movie is full of unexpected moments, plot twist where will just blow your mind!
The movie uses good amount of time to develop, it doesn't feel to fast and doesn't feel too draggy either, because it is full of actions, and the excitement in the whole movie just doesn't stop. Whereas the actors selection, well I think it's okay, overall it's not too bad, but the plot and the movie, one word - awesome.
Jin's Movie Rating: 9/10

INVADING DUSUN ECO RESORT, PAHANG!
During last week, 29-31 May 2014, was definitely life changing date to me, went to a wonderful journey to Dusun Eco Resort at Pahang.
It was a definitely a quick escape from the grey buildings, a great escape I say.
DAY1:
Awoke pretty early, 6:30am, rushing everything from backpack, shoes and more, then to Leon's house. Then from there to Rachel's and went to the EMUSJ.
I must say everybody seems nice and friendly there. :) Then off to the bus, the ride to the mountain didn't took that long as I thought, after reaching it,
It's the first time I join Youth Camp by EMUSJ, so it is a very fresh thing for me, during the ice breaking session it is opportunity to open up myself.
Then after that into the group, we are THE GREEN HULK.
with all the group bonding session, I was able to know everyone better.
Then move onto station games, it was fun, with different kind of funny games!
Guess what's in the box?
Follow what I do
Aim Your Eye (Basically is spitting a sunflower seed from your mouth and try to aim your eyes)
Pass the water (USING YOUR LEG)
Toss the PingPong (into egg tray)
Then after that there was praise and worship where singing and praying, I must admit, it wasn't that bored.
2nd DAY!
It was an extremely tired day!
There were Team Building Games (which require lots of teamwork and thinking in it) and also Obstacle Games (more of physical strength and self-confidence)
During Team Building Games, first challenge is blind folded passing ping pong ball, (:
Then after that basically each group need to have 2 blind folded, 2 cripple, 2 hand bind together, and others are normal. It's crucial who you chose as what handicap, as this will definitely be a game changer.
Move onto Obstacle Games,
1st CHALLENGE CLIMB OVER THE GREAT wall! Okay, maybe not THE great wall, but it's very tall. (For me at least.. :p)

Our task was to think of a way to get over the wall, but not only yourself but also helping the whole group. It was a tough one, but most memorable one!
After that move onto the spider web which we can't touch the string, and the only way to pass through is to climb under the string, get all muddy! It's a challenge of preciseness, are courageousness.
Then after that was climb the string. Military style mud crawling. Balancing on a string with a partner.
TEST OF STRENGTH, COURAGE, FOCUS.
Then after the first part of it, goes on to the so called 'playground' full with things to climb around. Sometimes we aren't able to achieve something alone, we need supporters, at the side giving us power to stand up again, to rise, and with a perseverance perspective to head on with your challenges, you will achieve success.
After it, we move onto Bamboo Rafting.
It's the first time for me making a bamboo raft.
SPEED, STRENGTH and A CLEAR MIND.
So what we use:

SPEED, STRENGTH and A CLEAR MIND.
So what we use:
Ready to see what we build? :)
READY?!
TADA!!!!
It was dark, weren't able to get a good image so this is the awesome graphic version haha!
After that we went back to the canteen, small drama happened where the boy's dorm key was lost, so I was the only one late to go into the dorm before key lost, so weren't able to bathe, and I was like a lost sheep running up and down looking for the keys, but at the end, the committee was able to get it back, so yea.
At the night, before we sleep, the bonding session was good, was able to know everyone much better.
3rd DAY
It's a chill day, but also a sad day, last day camp, and the post-camp syndrome going to start I know at that moment.
After breakfast, it's the TALENT show where each group showcase anything, so we chose drama, which personally I think it's ok, but I was that everything turn out fine (:
End of Talent Show, and we go for the Sky Bridge, where we only walk on a rope, it's definitely an achievement for me, ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCK!
...
So 3 days, pass by fast, like wind, those memories, those friendships, are the most valuable thing I've gained. It is a test of:
Thank you,

47 RONIN // MOVIE REVIEW

47 RONIN
Synopsis
The outcast Kai (Reeves), illegitimate son of a British sailor and a Japanese peasant woman, joins a group of ronin, led by Kuranosuke Oishi (Sanada), who seeks vengeance on Lord Kira (Asano), a ruthless man who killed their master and banished the group. The ronin embark on a journey with challenges that would defeat most warriors.
Review
So basically I watched this movie few days ago, before that I was so intrigued by its trailer.
This trailer showcased its variant colours and epic shots and graphics in the movie.
But after I watched it, I was pretty damn disappointed to 47 Ronin this movie.
Well, this movie is expected, is like you can see what it is coming at the end, (well it is based on the history in Japan last time anyway). Besides that, the line for the actor is a little too cheesy, seriously. I mean.... well, to be honest, if they change the language to what the actor can speak more fluently, I bet the movie will goes much better. Not to be racist, but the way they acted it just a little awkward. Another point, the story plot just feels like there is nothing to be grasp to the audience, the twist is not epic enough, the cinematic is not well planned. Sorry. The graphics of movie definitely takes my breathe away, but just not the plot. Oh well.

On the other hand, I was really hyped up by the fact that ZOMBIE BOY - Rick Genest acting as Savage

But wow, his scene is not even longer that 5 minutes? Good job! He even has his own poster, wow.
Movie Rating: 5.5/10
