Blogs
Recent events have seen the eruption of two new blogs on the post-sixth form related blogging horizon: the 'the diary of menz', which after much analysis we believe could either be a clever play on words on 'The Diary of Anne Frank' or on the song 'The Diary of Jane' by current popular band Breaking Benjamin, a band that amongst other things, have featured on numerous WWE video games. The wittily named 'Domo Arigato Mr Roboto' was also launched prior to the diary of menz, having adopted a simple, light white theme, in direct contrast to the more darker visual musings, but no doubt of high quality, of the latter blog.
Both blogs have provided much possible literal enjoyment for all three editors.
In other news, wengyew.blogspot.com has undergone a total makeover, changing its title to 'The narrow road'. Whether this is in reference to the claustrophobic narrowness of Jalan Kiara 3 due to the sudden preposterous parking of vehicles along helpfully painted yellow lines after 2.20pm weekdays; or to the alleged narrow roads of popular student entertainment destination Cambridge; or indeed to Matthew 7:13-14, as the well-respected writer of that blog states in his latest update, all are possibly contentious issues in our minds.
Also happening, the challenge-to-type anniepoooooo.blogspot.com (not to be confused with anniepooooo.blogspot.com, which appears to be written by another person who surprisingly is also called Ann and is also of the age 18), recently released a >1300 word essay of an update, however we believe the said person is possibly confused as the introductory paragraph stated "noone reads my blog anymore" which directly contradicts with what we experienced, and thus made us question ourselves and possibly our very existence...
Where are we now? And what are we doing?
Against popular opinion and trends, we have opted not to go for deep and dark emotional musings in our literal content at this present state in time.
Instead, at exactly this present state in time, your three humble editors are currently residing exactly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, having been here for the past three weeks or so, having been beaten in the travel-related race back to KL by the ultra-competitive yet humble Weng Yew by a margin of just over a mere 6.04 x (10^5) seconds.
The obvious first choice for us was a visit to school, however we unexpectedly instead found ourselves in the establishment ‘1utama’, and proceeded to watch the film I Am Legend of which we all highly approved of although the ending where Will Smith dies and the woman and child find safety in a survivor's colony and Bob Marley's song Redemption then plays, could possibly have been better.
LANMuch sporadic lan parties fuelled by refreshments of an ethanol-related nature to add to the general sense of merriment, whilst also consuming steak to a greater degree, have been enjoyed since, excessive compliments to the organisers. Although a post-morning mcdonalds experience was of a negative nature due to chilli being added to the tomato sauce metal container for the benefit of Maxwell who was much displeased and unfortunately did not receive a rightful full refund, reports of inaction by a ChrisHo with regards to acquiring the refund were attributed to such.
Paintball
An also rather violent paintball session (accolades going to the well-experienced Clement Chew) also followed, in which two cars were damaged severely, Verun ‘panadol’ Narula, whilst many others almost had to go to hospital though did not.

Victory of a football-related nature
The past couple of weeks saw the planned coming together of several post-sixth formers (including two of your subservient editors) of our current generation, plus the second shortest member of the Perry lineage of whom we all owe much thanks to of a football-pitch-acquisition-nature, and also an appearance by the older of the infamous Chan brothers, to all indulge in a light game of 10-a-side full pitch football against a spirited similarly-aged side hailing from the North American regions of Mont Kiara of which we have enjoyed a friendly rivalry with over past years, the same we are unable to say about our fellow British A-Level and IGCSE-providing rivals also located in Malaysia, whom we enjoy an even friendlier rivalry with.
First to open the scoring at around precisely 3.33pm was a certain M Rust (supporter of well loved EPL club ManU), who after a clever through pass, managed to somehow divert the ball attached to his leg past several dangerous opposition players into the back of the opponent’s net, GIS then chose to revert to a fully defensive formation (10) in order to protect this massive lead for the remainder of the game. Despite this however, GIS then managed to score a further eight goals.
Heroics from Australian goalkeeper JasonYeoh (who appears not to be related to the well-respected, cheerful, larger than life fellow that is a ChrisHo), who was making a pre-planned return to KL some say solely for the purpose of treading the goal-line of this hallowed ground that is stadium tunku negara gis, were not enough for GIS to gracefully concede a grand total four goals.
The final score was 9-4 to some say arguably the greatest side ever to grace the current green grass of GIS, others say this statement is not true at all, whilst others on the other hand, choose not to have an opinion on this subject at all.
Mention should also go to democratically voted Man of the Match Verun ‘man of the match’ Narula, mentioned earlier in a paintball-related incident, who put on a sterling match-winning performance covering for central defenders B Bradley and A Chan, and also provided moral and further covering support for ‘power surging runs upfield’ Maxwell in some cases.
Further mention should also go to the highly successful strike partnership of BrianTan and the aforementioned M Rust, whose chemistry of a footballing-nature was a sight to behold that indeed possibly all three of your editors did indeed stop all their current activities at that time, that included defending, and call of duty 4, just to behold the sight that was the chemistry of BrianTan and M Rust on that successful afternoon. No doubt credit must also go to BrianTan’s chemistry teacher of year 12 and 13 who arguably had a part to play in such an exquisite football relationship.
Even more further mention and accolades must also go to the plucky opposition team who gave a well-respected performance, and we must say that all involved on our side thoroughly enjoyed that afternoon. No doubt the cardiovascular benefits of such an afternoon will reap even greater rewards in the coming future for all involved...
New Year’s Eve
Spent partly by co-editor 1 at the Mandarin Oriental amidst the welcome company of several well-respected members of our post-sixth form generation, however we agree with the calls of a spirit-related nature by whatwouldzimdo.blogspot.com, which would have possibly improved the evening even more so.
Apparently only one taxi is allowed to drive to the lobby of the Mandarin Oriental every two hours, and also apparently the current value of a small bottle of tiger is RM40. Therefore we would advise against spending money on such items for the time being until macroeconomic deflation occurs.
Co-editor 2 opted for the relatively cheaper depths of Souled Out, Hartamas, amidst the company of a certain M Rust, ChrisHo, and de Regt, amongst others. A certain knight was also rumoured to have made an appearance, much to the unwarranted yet exhilarated violently emotional reaction of ChrisHo.
Greater analysis is currently ongoing of the facial posture expressed by blue shirt wearing well-respected individual in top right corner, and of the symmetrical pattern appearing on the bottomost shirt of the well-respected individual with a cheery expression on his face, the glaring fire hazard in the middle, and also of the fist held aloft by far-most right well-respected individual which we believe is not in accordance with general martial art practices
Co-editor Chew whereabouts were reported to be of a family-related nature.
Go-Kart Racing
One fine Friday morning, several people (including Co-editor 2) happened to meet at 69 Jalan TR9/6, all with the similar intentions of going to Extreme Park Sunway for a Go-Karting session. Once the relevant transportation options had been arranged and Maxwell woken up and ready a brief stop was made at the local 7/11 store to buy drinks of an energising nature. It was predicted that such an event would pass without any inconvenience but once back in the car a certain ChrisHo noticed an irregularity within his bottle of 100PLUS, the contents of his bottle had seemingly began to solidify into misty white-ish particles that remained suspended in the liquid. Immediate outrage was declared by ChrisHO followed by a refusal to drink the 100Plus and then an immediate confirmation of him never purchasing 100Plus from this particular 7/11 ever again.
All problems aside, the journey continued towards Extreme Park, Sunway without any incidents of note (Driven expertly by Adriaan DeRegt of course). Upon reaching the destination it was found the majority of extreme park had been turned into a quarrying site with the means of possible re-development in the future, leaving a relatively small area of land for the Go-Karting track to go. A general disappointment was to be had with regards to the current state of the track and a quick decision was made that it was not worth the RM65 for 20 mins on a track of this nature. Brainstorming of possible replacement tracks commenced and it was decided upon the “Track next to the highway going to the airport”. Following the ever reliable directions of ChrisHo a path was etched towards said track. After 45 minutes, spending RM16.40 on various Toll PLAZA’s, visiting PutraJaya, ending up back at Extreme Park and making an estimated 16.5 ‘U’ turns we finally condescended upon the unnamed track.
The races were rather eventful with many spins, crashes, broken arms/legs, snapped accelerator cables, and overtaking manoeuvres. These following videos and photos will hopefully depict the events with enough vigour to satisfy your ever important needs.
Chris Ho there, demonstrating what appears to be a force 10newtons strong tae-kwan-do forward horizontal arm thrust with the aim of propelling himself forward in the general direction of the photographer, bypassing bystander Wouter De Regt on his left on the way, having already taken into account of the possibility of colliding with the stationary object that is the petrol tank directly in his path that could self combust and explode at any time
Some of the speeds seen in this video were reportedly rumoured to be well in excess of 160 kph
p.s. The videos were filmed by Co-Editor 2 as he was unable to take part in the last 10 minutes due to possible illness.
The future
Thomas Maxwell is set to return to the plains of UAE, Norwich, East Anglia, England, where the experience so far has been reportedly highly enjoyable.
Ben Bradley is set to return to Durham University set in the snow covered masses of Durham, England, of which the experience thus far has been equally as highly enjoyable as the first aforementioned prediction. Photos to follow in due course.
Clement Chew on the other hand, in direct contrast to the two situations above, is set to return to the University of Manchester in rain-swept western-reaches of Manchester, England, where much enjoyment has also been had, he also has taken up Wing-Tsun Kung Fu, and thus is capable of killing.
And now for a highly irregular unpredictable feature of our reports, Song Of The Day, in which we list songs, of the day.
- Bradley: David Sylvian - For The Love of Life
- Chew: Nothing at this exact moment in time
- Maxwell: Oasis - Guess God Thinks I’m Abel
THIS JUST IN: reports have come in of a rumoured planned excursion tomorrow into gis by several blog editors, possibly including the three who pen this blog amongst others. Will update as more news comes in, including – a light fracas incident with security, and whether the predictions listed below are to come true:
- Large bowls for sinks in the sixth form toilets
- Possibly a NEW sixth form common room, with straight orange seat backs and a stone pathway leading into the entrance doors
- Possibly a RELOCATED head of sixth form office?
- New water fountains all with cold water, completely free of iron oxide
- Refurbished science labs
- A new Principal
- A plaque recognising the contribution to general sixth form life by certain individuals located on the eastern-most wall of the sixth floor of the arts block and also an identical copy located facing directly upwards in the north corridor of the third floor
AND ALSO, has the mysteriously-intentioned Wall of Hands of GIS2007 been destroyed, or are these simply speculative rumours?
All content to be confirmed after tonight, come our next update.
