Life As An Agriculture Student

After working part-time for a year and the half, I got the letter of offer from Sekolah Vokasional School to study the course, "Agriculture Science". Of course I am happy because I can pursue higher education since the day I scored 3 [U]nbelievable in my "A"level.

I felt excited and at the same time nervous too which I think a lot. Thinking of how I am going to be to start school once again. A lot of thoughts came into my mind before the school start. I think of...


Can I pass all the subjects with flying colors?


Will I be the student that is hardworking and concentrate in every class attended?


Or I will be the same as before which I always sleep in the class ?


Will I be able to complete all the tasks and assignments given by the teachers?


Am I going to be the good student that follow the school's rules and also the A1 student that carries lots of files and things around me?


Or I just be the ROCK & ROLL student?

All these are the thoughts that came into me before the school starts. All these just make me excited and nervous which I'm going to a new environment and also get to know new people. Will I be able to do it? What will I do when the times come?

Finally the days of awaiting for so long had come. All the things that I thought of is going to be reality. School started on the 6th July 2009.

TAPI horr, things turned out to be slightly different as I thought. I'm still the student that carry a backpack filled with books, laptop bag and also files filled with notes.


And I also got voted to become the school's HEADBOY!!! [Thing that I didn't and never think of!]

Sometime I could be the rock & roll student too. But here is what the difference from other school! As an agriculture student, other than studying the theories there are LOT of practical works to do. Not like the practical that I had in secondary school which I sit in the lab and play with the labo gas.

Here is what we do in Wasan Vocational School!


I have the chance to study about Paddy & Rice! Not study in the air-conditioning room BUT under the hot sun and on the mud!!!


We all have the experience of planting the paddy...




Harvesting the paddy...


Processing the paddy...

Paddy is not the only crop that we experienced here, but also the rest which...


We also learn about planting the vegetable crops...

Learning it as in starting from the scratch,


that we had to clear the land for making raised bed for planting...


using machine to cultivate the soil for planting...


Hoe and Shovel had become our new best-friends that we always need it for crop management and maintaining of the drainage...

With all the efforts and hard works that we have to do out theories in the class, assignments and reports coming in non-stop then need to go to the field and do the farming. I can said it is very tiring that sometimes we had to go back at 6 plus in the evening and have to go back to school during the holidays...

That just made me sometime wanna

Despite the tiredness, school life is always fun no matter what.

There are fun things to do too other than working on the field. Things like seeing the crops that we grow from the seeds, by seeing it grow each day to flowering and finally the vegies are ready to be harvested. It just make you happy and have the sense of satisfactions after all the hard works putted in.

And if people ask me what's the fun of what I'm doing in the school. I would answer this...


Driving the tractor around the school campus. School campus is big which took some time to travel here and there, while driving enjoying the wind breeze and the tractor is 4WD some more. It is built for heavy-duty use!

That's my life in Vocational Wasan School.

Saya Budak Cina Tahun 80an [2]

Still remember a post that is written under the title's name "Saya Budak Cina Tahun 80an". A post that talks bit about what I had when I'm small comparing to kids nowadays whom they had missed a lot. What had been talk the most in that post is the FOODS! -.-!!


Click @ the "link" to time travel back and know the bits during my 80's & 90's


And here's another post about another place that was famous during the 80's & 90's for the Chinese. That is what I had during my childhood which it is like sugus and it cost 20cent per stick in the school canteen. The packing had changed since back then.


A place maybe your parents celebrated their wedding's dinner at. A place maybe your grandparents had their birthday celebration at. A place where you celebrated your "full moon" at.


It is also a popular place for morning tea for families on the Sunday.


The LUCKY RESTAURANT!


Ground floor of the restaurant. The restaurant is divided into two floor. Ground floor is where we want to have simple and fast meal. Fast meal as in we order the foods, eat it and then ciao! When I'm small, my dad often brought us here to have our dinner which I ordered its Fried Rice and my mum and little brother ordered its Pandan Rice for YEARS...


And up-stair is more nicer because it is where all the celebration took place. A place where mother and father's day were celebrated, a place where Chinese had their reunion dinner and etc. Place that we eat slowly enjoying the ambiance.

It's definitely every families choice in the past. But things had changed since the 2000. Business had decrease a lot compare before. Not much people's having their wedding celebration as they need bigger place and more luxurious place like ballrooms. And there are a lot of place to celebrate the reunion dinner, birthdays, father and mother day that the customers had spread out. Eventually Lucky Restaurant had changed a few owners but the name still remain because of its NAME that had built for decades.


RESTORAN UNTONG. UNTONG KALI AHH!!!

Even though it had changed its owner but other things and staffs remained unchanged except for the owner.


During the Chinese New Year, I had the chance to visit it again since a long time with my friends to have dinner. It does bring back a lot of memories I had during the past and the foods still taste tasty as before.


Don't know how to pronounce the soup's name


Fried Spare Ribs Meat


Kai Lan with Oyster Sauce


Claypot Japanese Beancurds


Sweet And Sour Prawn Balls


Gung Pow Beef


Minced Pork Meat Steamed With Salted Fish!!! It's everyone FAVORITE and it is TASTY!!! Ikan Masin kali ahh...

Right after the meal, we're given complimentary desserts.


Pudding with Longan and sometimes we're given fruits as the desserts.

When is the last time since you visited Lucky Restaurant???

Dates With Diana F+

It had been two months since we both met and I'm still in the process getting know more about her.


Two months ago, she is a stranger to Brunei because she came all the way from China. Brunei is a new environment for her as everything seems unfamiliar. It would takes times and efforts for her to get used what's in Brunei. A new surroundings & peoples for her to know, new cultures for her to learn and new lifestyles for her to adapt.

The better way to learn all those above is go for many many outings!

*The pictures below were all taken by Lomography Camera [Diana F+]

She get to watch the last [HOME] game played by Barracudas Brunei in National Indoor Stadium. [The second roll film used, mostly every pictures in that film turned out to be very very blurry]


Brunei is a Muslim country that is MIB, "Melayu Islam Beraja". Showing her around and learn the cultures that are different from we Chinese.


Brought her to the busy commercialized areas in Brunei-Muara that are the Kiulap and Gadong to see the lifestyles in Brunei. [Seemed that images taken on daytime with strong-light exposure is not blurry compare to the one taken in areas with low-light exposure]


In 2months time, she also get to witnessed one of the grandest celebration celebrating in Brunei that is the National Day. [Picture was taken in the car on the way to BSB from Kiulap]


And also the Chinese New Year! [Picture taken @ NBT Gadong where they made CNY's decorations around, image still blurry]


Chinese New Year is all about visiting houses to houses and wish everyone a prosperous new year!

After some time, it is time to introduce her to the families, relatives and friends...


Taken @ Kampong Lamunin during my uncle's birthday.


The most important person to meet, my MUM! That's when the "LOMO" meets the "LOUMOU"!!! [LouMou in Cantonese means Mother]


And also my little brother, Ah-Liang & my cousin whom is playing handphone, Kojack.


My cousin, Chiew Sheh & Wen Biau that had gone back to Kuala Lumpur. [Didn't roll the Kodak Film properly to fit the frame]


Taken in Excapade Sushi Gadong.


It was one great dinner I had with few of my closest friends.

Diana is hard to control because she is sensitive.


Once the hands move a bit while holding/ releasing the shutter, the pictures turn out to be blurry. Even with the viewfinder, it is hard to capture the right angle. Numbers of picture that turned out different from what I see from the viewfinder while capturing it. The pictures either showing the only half of the people or the only half of the things.

Even though Diana is sensitive and hard to understand...


She could be nice in some ways too! The outcome of the pictures are FANTASTIC and UNIQUE! It does give the dreamy and vintage effects that reminds everyone of the Classics.

Things I founded so far about Diana & Lomography can do is these.


Double-Exposure that there is image overlapping on the other one. [Click the shutter once. Without rolling the film into the next frame, click the shutter one more time and the pictures are overlapping on each other]

After finding out good things about Diana [Lomography]. It just worth the patience contributed.






The long-exposure that is simple to be done. The 3pictures above were taken inside the car while it is moving. [All we have to do is switching the camera into "B" which is the night mode. Click and hold the shutter as long as we want, let the light moves in and release the shutter]

But one thing that is scary about Diana too. She does not bite! Because she is one analogue camera and pictures are all captured in film. It is very dangerous that

We might capture the picture of the GHOST!!!
