Hello! Well, actually i wanted to blog about the SPM BK ‘09 Oral Quiz since a long time ago but kinda not time lately. Haha, well, can’t write too long though so i’ll try to talk with pictures. (though there are only 4 :P)
Alright, last Saturday, on the 1st of August 2009, SPM BK ‘09 Oral Quiz was held at SMK (P) Assunta. It’s the first time i’ve been there and the first time it was held there since i came to secondary school. Right, straight to the events. Woke up real early… well actually i woke up late. Set the alarm clock at 4.50 a.m. but woke up at 5.20 a.m.! Rushed to wash up and eat breakfast. Met at Taman Bahagia LRT station. Hmm… the first batch of people left but i decided to leave with the second batch. More time to study. :P Had a 1km walk to Assunta. Passed a lot of large gigantic enormous houses on the way. (which i will tell something about it later) Got a little lost. :P Haha~ Eventually, we made it to Assunta. After all the registration and speeches, we, the SPM BK participants went to the hall to take the first part of the quiz, the MCQ questions. Hmm… at least i knew how to do most of it. After the quiz, it was the first elimination. Different than last year where there was no elimination for the first round. Cut down to 60 teams from Selangor and KL. My team, TS8 managed to proceed with a total of 67 marks! (maximum marks are 80, 40 for each person) Along with 7 other teams… i think. Altogether, my school sent 11 teams and 1 team from my school represented their church. Oh, by the way, if you don’t know, we go in pairs, two per team.
Then i was the second round. The Quiz Masters will ask the question and we are to write it on a piece of paper and show it to the Recorders… Err… you’d probably not know what are Recorders and Runners… well, basically, Recorders record marks while Runners run! LoL :P Okay, back to the competition. Unlike last year where there were 5 Q’s on Luke and 5 Q’s on Acts, it was all Luke!!! I was no help at all! Really~ Didn’t actuallt study Luke… Anyway, my partner, Tian Xiong was superb! Well, good thing i have a good partner. :) Later it was the 2nd elimination. Total marks from part 1 and part 2. It was a tense moment… Then, it was a moment of joy! I was so shocked and happy. It was like i got my SPM results. :P Haha~ Well, we managed to enter the 3rd round. Our placing: 23rd out of 25 teams from Selangor and KL! Really, really shocked and truly amazed. :)
Okay, the 3rd part of the competition, semifinals. Scores reset to zero. 4 teams from my school managed to enter part 3. Among them was a Form 4 team with exceptional marks. Really, really good. I was very extremely nervous. Haven’t been this far before. This time, there is no conferring with your partner. Tian Xiong chose Luke and i chose Acts. Really nervous i was. Tian Xiong did really great by getting 13 out of 15! It was like WOW! Then it was my turn. I was really, really sad at the end of the third round. I did so badly. Only managed to get 3 out of 15… so discouraged. I have failed my partner! Anyway, you know what happened next. We failed to enter the finals. It was like minimum 20 marks from part 3 to tie with the other 5 teams. We only got 16. Haiz, i really failed. Could have done better… Anyway, good job Tian Xiong. :)
1 team from our school almost managed to enter the finals. The Form 4 team!!! TS10! They got a tie but lost in the tie-breaker. Three out of five teams proceeded to the finals from the tie-breaker. Despite the failure to enter the finals, we managed to obtain the David Boler challenge trophy. It’s now 3 years in a row! Haha~ Well, be back for it next year. There is chance to get the MCSC challenge trophy, the Form 4 team was truly remarkable. Defeated the Form 5 teams. :P
Right, now, after i lost the 3rd round, some of us went out to A&W for lunch. So, i didn’t watch the finals this year. I heard that the top 3 places was taken by Sri Sempurna. They are really, really good. Anyway, on the way there, yeah, about the large houses. It was white and large. Lot’s of them. Here’s some pics:
Right, A&W… i ate waffle! It was so filling. Truly, waffles are not meant to be eaten alone. Must share with others. Still, it was cheaper than the Coney Dog. I’m kinda trying to save money. Then, Alan, Parvin and me went to Amcorp Mall. Wow, it’s like a bazaar there. Well, i’ve never been there before… maybe once but that’s it. There, we jalan-jalan and followed Alan shopping. Haha~ We admired his shopping skills such as bargaining. Well, he helped me reduce the price of my ‘rice dumpling’. Haha~ if you know what’s that. :P
Then, we proceeded home. Met the other group of CF’ers who stayed behind till it ended at the Taman Jaya LRT station. Went back home from there with Tian Xiong. Alan, Parvin and me stopped at Taman Bahagia. The CF’ers were behind us. Alan and Parvin left and i waited for the LRT with the CF’ers. It was then i heard the announcement that the LRT won’t stop at Masjid Jamek station cause there was a ‘perhimpunan haram’. Didn’t know what it was till the next day. :P Later, i met back up with Tian Xiong and went back home. Phew, it was a tiring day indeed. :)
Okay, that’s all for now. It’s late already and i actually have a History test tomorrow. ‘Supposed’ to study but i got bored and stopped with 7 pages left to finish. Hopefully it won’t come out tomorrow. :P Haha~

Some of us checking our marks for part 1. I got 34!
Look, a large ‘white’ house. Parvin was joking about it.
Malaysian White House. Haha~
