Life's predicted. True or false?

My intuition tells me, it's true but on conditions. That's when you feel you've tried your very best in committing certain things and the outcome isn't as satisfying as you've expected it to be.

My personal judgement tells me certain things don't work out the way you wanted it to be. And that's an ordeal for us; how are we going to handle our disappointment. It isn't very difficult but it requires certain amount of time to heal the wound.

Most importantly, life's not always smooth sailing. Just like driving on the road. You might have to stop when you're at a red light's junction. You might have to make a U-turn when you realised you're not travelling on the right route. At times, you have to avoid potholes when you're behind the wheel. Life's full of barriers.

You're allowed to feel sad over the negative results but at the end of the day, you must get back on your feet again by telling yourself; that's part and parcel of life. The next day is another brand new day. Life goes on. =)

p/s: A blog specially for YOU.

Life is GOOD

2010-04-22T13:33:00.003+08:00

OFTEN, people ask “How’s life?” as a polite gesture, or a way of starting a conversation.
The answer is always similar : “Okay”, “Fine”, or “Damn! Life sucks.”
One day, it occurred to me – isn’t life a greater thing than what we give it credit for?
Fine or okay don’t seem to satisfy me, so here is my perception of life.

Life is something that can't be seen; it has to be lived, experienced and enjoyed. Every living being gets one life and one chance to make things right. That life ought to be enjoyed and loved as well as lived to the max.

Many people's perception of life is shallow or narrow. For some, it is about success and wealth. As for the rest, it's just time passing by. From what I observe, there are 3 categories of people:

* Those who place wealth and success at the top of their priorities. These people know nothing about having fun. It always has to be about dollar signs, status, prestige and how the world looks at them. However, they aren't aware that life is never going to last.

* Those who hate life. These people often look irritated when asked how life is, and will reply that it sucks. They have no freaking idea what they are talking about. Life definitely isn't a straight road. It has bumps, holes, rocks and roundabouts. But at the end of the road, you'll reach your destination and see that it was worth fighting for. A perfect life would be boring. We will have many ups and downs but eventually everything will be fine. It's only a matter of time.

* Those who are always carefree and calm and just take life as it comes. They stress over the neccessary things, laugh more often and they treat life as their best friend. They are the people I favour and try to be like.

The bottom line is, life's amazing. So, before you ask me how life is, think twice and ask me only when you have an hour free to hear me out.

my sweetheart is back!

2010-04-05T17:55:00.004+08:00

Finally..... I can online again!

I still remember the day when I had a drink at night with SN and SE after visiting YH's bb. I told 'em about my laptop's condition and they reminded me to fix it soon rather than waiting for it to burn down. However, who'd ever expect that my laptop actually broke down the next day after their advice. Thanks to their useful words. LoL. =D

I haven't had the time to actually get into my desktop page when the lappie kept ON and OFF on the windows log-in page. That was awful. The lappie was in really emergency condition whereas I needa head to KL the next day. So, I only managed to squeeze out the time to send it into ICU after I got back from KL.

For now, although it is physically old, but I've got a completely new features inside. They had installed Windows 7 and it looks so fancy to me. Haha. I look to explore new things.... I hope this time the lappie can last for another 1 or 2 years before I can save enough to buy a new one. *hopefully*

It's a big secret! For which, I only tell the readers here..

Ooucchh... It's still a bit painful. There is still a mild bleeding..
This morning, the doctor was asking me questions while at the same time he did not tell me he's going to inject the anesthesia into the affected area. After he injected ONLY I realised that was the injection I was terrified about going there.

Well, not long after that, he did the necessary procedures. And, there, my separated tooth (1 became 2)covered in reddish blood was on the silvery tray. That was soooooooo geli. I never imagined everything to complete in such a short time.

And, conclusion.... I lost a big tooth right now~ *bogeh* Kinda embarassing that I actually lost one while I'm just 24 years old. I promised I will never let it happen again.

dilemma ends

2010-03-24T09:56:00.003+08:00

Wow, it sounds pretty good news for me. After going through several interviews, two companies offer me jobs at the same time... For which, I think I can finally start working at either of the company anytime soon..........(so happy)

After going through 3 phases of interview at IBM and the other private limited company called Texlon, who would believe that after screening and weighing pros and cons and suitability, I have to come out with a conclusion that both are OUT from the acceptance reality. That is the conclusion after consulting a coursemate who is currently in IBM and also chatting with dad.

The details arent that suitable to be revealed here in the blog. That's too long to write. LoL.

Dad said it's better to find a suitable one rather than to be so desperate for a job. "We do not work because we want to work" whereas "We work because we like the work". It's good to apply for the position that suits me but going for interviews is to know the company better. If I don't have the passion for the job, I should reject if they offer me. And I also know the reason why he's saying this. It's to avoid me from job-hopping in the end.

And, so... I shall anticipate for the next call of interview...

I'm gradually turning mouldy at home..

Ever since I've made this decision, I know I have to stick to it and move forward. No more doubts anymore.

But, the searching process is unbelievably tough as well as the waiting time, miserably slow. Not the ones that I want belongs to me. There are so many tonnes of competitors out there.. fighting for the same position.

Well, I also don't dare to hope for much right now. The big dreams of a lil' girl were
all dashed once upon a time ago..

because I realised that

.......lots of things are outside of our plan. They can bounce out out of a sudden, they may not be the ones that you're expecting or may not the the circumstances that you've expected them to be. It does makes me feel so restless facing all the unexpected situations which affect the arranged plan.

In the end, I will tell myself.. "Well, life has to go on...", this is the main reason that gets me still moving on.....

我的心声。。

2010-03-10T18:01:00.003+08:00

突然间很想用华语来表达我现在的心情。。

有时候会觉得，做人呀。。别去想太多，就可以让一切简简单单的过。。那不是一件很快了的事吗？少了一份烦恼却多了一些笑容。。

想这么多结果以然还是一样的。。因为那就是早以注定的结果。。

但是，人类真的很矛盾因为不去想不代表一切就会这样的顺着我们的意思。有时要用一用脑去思考，去体会和了解整个过程，这才不会有遗憾。。

无忧无虑还是体会比较重要呢？

back to my hobby

2010-03-02T14:13:00.002+08:00

It's been so long since I was away from blogging world.
It's time to brush off the mouldy blog and make it alive again!

It's already March 2010 and I'm still moving on.
Working hard to find the precious thing that belongs to me.

First of all, back to my main interest, reading.
It's been so long since I've read any other reading materials except for newspapers and gossip mags. And so, I looked around me and realised that I have yet to buy any books since few years ago.

How time flies. Was busy with campus life and then, work. When I've finally made 'this' decision, I know I ought to do something that would help to make the time ticks faster. READ.

When I'm doing nothing and I'm idling away right now, the best element to enhance me spiritually and mentally, is just a word called BOOK. I'm not a good reader but I always love to know more than what I have.

Therefore, I went to MPH last week and purchased Law of Attraction. I heard from many that it's a good book. Worth reading. And so, I woke up every morning as usual like the time I went to work, I opened the book and read few pages per day.

It's the book that made us feeling "full" everyday. =)

that were the times in 2009

2009-12-31T19:25:00.001+08:00

It’s time I wrap up for the year 2009.

First of all, I must thank God for protecting me from harm, for being able to stay healthily and have the energy to complete my day to day tasks.

I must thank both of my parents who sacrifice so much just for me. From entering university and being able to get the first job in my life. They are always there for me. Not forgetting my sis who has been so supportive all this while.

I am grateful to my very dear boyfriend for being here with me for almost 3 years. He’s there whenever I need him the most, beyond words could describe.

Last but not least, it’s time for FRIENDS! You, you AND you! My best companions in life. My life will not be so colourful without you – be it from hometown, university or workplace! THANK YOU!

Speaking about year 2009, it was quite smooth sailing all the year. The happiest moment was the time when I’ve finally graduated. That was when both my parents, sis, boyfriend and my hometown friends went and attended my convocation. 3 years of uni life has finally came to an end. Come to think of it, I kinda missing it now. student life

Then, it’s a year that I gotta remember forever. A bunch of friend went traveling in Taiwan. This is the first time we boarded the flight when that was the time the typhoon Parma was on its way to Taiwan. We felt the mild earthquake and experienced the sister typhoon for the very FIRST time. However, it did not spoil the whole trip. We still enjoyed it a lot.

Next, it comes to my third phase in life. When I’ve managed to get the first job in life. I’ve been here working for more than 2 months. How time flies! Everyday is a brand new day for me. May it be from my colleagues or bosses. Because they are the one who contribute to my experiences in life. Although working isn’t so easy as compared with studying, but hopefully I still can manage and achieve the targets set for each month.

I hope all the best for everyone who knows me. May the brand new year brings lots of returns and most importantly, stay healthy always!

resolutions~

2009-12-28T21:27:00.002+08:00

What's for New Year resolution?

I've no other thoughts besides...........

Being eager to change all the in my wardrobe to

slightly a bit c o l o u r f u l this coming 2010.

As I feel so dull for the whole year that most of them are

greyish......

Hm.... I shall think more other than this....

tapping

2009-12-24T08:57:00.000+08:00

Which was the last time someone tapped on your shoulder?
Tapping shoulder somehow represents a lot. That’s what my aunt in Kluang once told me. This is because action speaks louder than words.

When you sincerely tap your hands on someone’s shoulder, it could mean more than a word “care”. It’s because you only choose the person who means a lot to you that would allow you to do such action. To me, I do agree with my aunt. When I flashed back the words she once said, I figured out what she meant.

When was the last time we touched and tapped on someone’s shoulder?
Let's do it now.
Let’s spread our care and love.

one day...

2009-12-16T18:02:00.001+08:00

Many said working in fast-paced countries like HongKong and Singapore is really unimaginably tough. Because everyone is moving so fast; even the time for you to sit down and take a deep breath also don’t have it.

Speaking of these, recently I came upon this listener of a radio station. He mentioned that he is finding so hard to survive in KL and it’s no longer a suitable place to accommodate people.

Is KL also moving towards a fast-paced city? I do agree. But it’s still not as terrible as that he has said.

I feel that everyone here is so busy with their work and they have dedicated all of their time to their jobs. After whole day work, there comes the unbelievable traffic congestion on the roads. Once they reach home, it is already nearly time to sleep. How about those having children? Will they have ample time to communicate with them? How will this be in 10 years to come?

I couldn’t imagine…..

We have lots of instant food now. We have high-speed Internet connectivity.
Will we have highly automated rotating work desk, dining table, kitchen, wardrobe and bed so that we can always work and do things at anytime and anywhere we can?

Or perhaps the word SOHO is meant for everyone? No more offices.. but working away from home. Sounds good!

all about the DEAL..

2009-12-08T13:23:00.005+08:00

Recently really do not have the time to blog much, this is when work comes first in life.

My job is basically dealing with people. All kinds of people out there... may they be fat, thin, tall or short. I don't mind it when they are of diverse physical appearances. I don't even mind when it comes to racial differences.

Sometimes I just bother too much when humans have so much in their attitude and behavioral diversities. Everyday I face various of people. Some of them can be very kind and soft-spoken. While some are just so nasty and they would spit lots of vulgar words, u-know-it-all.

I thank God for creating so many different human beings on earth especially the great ones, with big hearts. And I am truly grateful for meeting so many rude people where it would require me to study their attitudes and apply different dealing skills onto them.

Once my friend told me she was surprised to see me dealing with people whereas I am more to sitting down and doing my own work in my own small world. Well, today I am happy that I am learning new things that are beyond my expectations. Everyday, there are new things to absorb and I am seeing improvements in the way I deal with people.

In Chinese, "we learn as we grow old".

my 2nd home..

2009-11-08T10:44:00.007+08:00

To be honest, I never had much time to online.. except for weekends, when I'm back at home, (Kluang).
Well, this time I've snapped some photos of my workplace.. Was actually to show my parents.. and at the same time, to update my blog.
Fyi, I'm working in Sunway Lagoon Club Bhd. Well, it's more or less a place where we offer members all sorts of facilities ranging from swimming pool, steam baths, jacuzzi, gym, various courts (tennis, squash, badminton), cafe and banquet hall for functions.
Yeah, of course we, as the staff there, have the opportunities of enjoying and utilising the facilities there without paying. But.. I doubt I have ample time to do that, except that I feel I really need some sorts of exercise...
These are some photos of my club:

I love the working environment. My manager is very friendly and yet sometimes very strict with the work requirements which enables me to learn a lot from her. My colleagues, are a bunch of crazy and lovely young ladies.. Lunch, shopping and chattings are all there when we're together.......

Till then.............................

my job

2009-10-22T20:32:00.002+08:00

It's almost a week I started working.. if I didn't glance at the calendar, I might not realise it. How time flies..
And perhaps next week, I will be getting my half month's salary. LoL.
Anywy, it's not easy at all working as Member Relations Executive. The name sounds so professional.. but behind this title, there are indeed lots of things to do.

Not only to deal with the members of the club, where most of them are from 'better' background, but also to be able to memorise as much steps as I can so that I know how to key in their personal data and things like that. By the way, inserting data isnt that simple as I've always thought. Because they have this specific system that keep records of the members, whether they are still active, terminated or surrender etc.

Besides, there are certain B&W procedures that needed to be done, too. Such as transfer of membership or nomination of members etc. As all these involve shares of the Sunway Group, more attention is needed and no mistakes are allowed. Kinda tough right now. But I will try my best to learn and understand more as I have two very friendly and helpful mentors right now. Although they're promoted to other departments, but they are still here to assist me until I'm familiar with all these.

Also, each of us will be allocated to be on MOD (Management on Duty) according to a schedule. So, it depends... perhaps I will be needed to be on duty till 10pm almost once in a week or 2 weeks. That depends on our luck too. Anyway, it's okay for me as it's a good chance for me to learn the whole club's operations..

Tomorrow's Friday.. I will have a good rest in the weekend then.. =)

BiRthDay

2009-10-18T10:20:00.005+08:00

And that's it.. I'm now officially 23 years old.

Few days before my birthday... I thought a lot..
Firstly, I did not expect much from my birthday.. may they be celebrations or presents..
Secondly, my mind is entirely focused on finding a job...
Thirdly, no special feeling for the coming weekend..

However, I did make an early birthday wish. It's deep from my heart, hoping that there will be a suitable job offer. I told God, I did not ask for much this birthday. And there was it, the phone call from a company inviting me to go for an interview, just the next day after I've applied for this vacancy. I went for the interview on Friday morning. For sure, I was quite nervous but the interviewers were both very nice ladies. They asked questions and it turned out that I was happily telling them stories about my campus life. Laughter was there!

Then the manager came in.. it's a female. She looks stern but actually, she's quite friendly too. She told me lots of the job scope and told me that she likes me a lot (as in the qualifications) which is up to her expectations. That eventually made me feel that they would hire me.

That evening, there came the news that the company wants to recruit me. Offering me the position of Member Relations Exec. I'm truly delighted and I thanked God immediately for answering my prayer.

And that's my surprise birthday gift from no one, but God. This year is indeed very different and memorable.. I will make sure I work hard and cherish the job I have now.. =)

Also thanks Raymond for giving me a very nice birthday gift. A watch.. And he also bought me Haagen-Daz ice-cream, for which I long to eat it since long ago.
Thank you sn, sy, yh, sf and wn for being there with me and celebrating my birthday.. I am really happy to have you gals with me... Take care ya..

i miss them....

2009-10-17T23:44:00.002+08:00

No no.. I'm not gonna blog about my birthday yet. *Still waiting for SN to email me the photos*

Anyway, have a very weird feeling for the past few minutes. Recently, I seldom log into FB and look at friends' photos. So every now and then, I would try my best to keep myself up to date all the latest news about them.. hometown or campus friends..

Suddenly realised that.. lotsa my friends are in lands faraway from Msia.. some go for work & travel packages to NZ and US, while some went to UK for further studies.. three of them are from my residential college and taking engineering course. Of course I've always dreamed of going overseas to pursue my studies back few years ago.. until now, I still have this eagerness. Yeah, I believe we are still young and just grab the chance if we're given. =)

Anyway, I enjoy looking at their photos.. the architectures, sceneries and everything about the foreign country.. Through this, I can also learn more.. because it teaches me new knowledge about the places' names and etc. It's good either. That's how Internet and Facebook connect me and them.. so far, yet close at hearts.

Hope all the best for them.. -right from my heart.

things lately.......

2009-09-30T23:45:00.003+08:00

It's been ages since I ever updated my blog.
Honestly, I have too much to say and this has prevented me to feel so demotivated to type a long one here... what a negative attitude huh?
However.. to avoid my blog to be seen as being abandoned.. I've decided to pen down bits of pieces of my latest happenings..

Well.. I've actually witnessed my friend's wedding and had actually been involved in the process of the wedding ceremonies.. I felt very excited, happy and truly touched especially seeing a friend who got married to a very nice guy. I really feel the happiness that is aroused throughout the wedding on 26th and 27th September 2009. It was indeed a memorable experience for me being a "sister" to the bride. Once again, thanks for inviting me and also congratz Yuan Hui.. You're now officially Mrs.Ong. =)

During the day I'm helping out at my dad's company and during the night I'm eagerly browsing thru the net, hoping that I can find a job that suits my qualification. Well, I submitted few copies of resumes.. hopefully I will be called for interviews when I am back from Taiwan.

I have no idea why.. I had this bizarre feeling.. feeling that time's running out.. and I feel so desperate to get a job right away.. Argh.. not a good feeling at all.. However, I trust my ability and intuitions. I will fulfill my wish soon...

parts-and-parcel

2009-09-14T23:54:00.003+08:00

Looking for a job, a suitable job that matches my personality is even tougher than sitting for exams in campus.. That's the answer for a question asked by a friend through msn: the feeling of being a grad.

Well.. been browsing through the net and flipping through the newspapers for which I hope to bump into some interesting and captivating job ads meant to hire fresh grad like me. Easier said than done. Reading through a lot of the ads make me feel so useless... Because I could say, almost 75% and above are more suitable for people with job experiences.

But thanks to the advanced technology we have in Malaysia today. The internet is full of resources for us to just using few clicks to look for jobs. However, like I said.. lots of vacancies out there in many companies.. To find one that suits me well isn't easy just like peanuts...

Yeah.. send out a few applications.. but not too many. Because I'm afraid too many choices will make it tougher to pick the best offer. Recently, I've attended an interview, by AeON Jaya Jusco.

Speaking of the job description... they suit me quite well. As I don't love to sit at a place for the whole day and I love to move around.. this is the job for me! However... it's a management trainee programme. I saw from the net stating that the market rate of for the salary isn't too high.. it's just between 1.6-1.8k.. Therefore, I'm kinda ragu-ragu about it..... whereas as a degree holder.. I can find other better paid job than this.

I still remember I once said.. What matters more is the job description and environment.. the ability to learn more while we are young.. salary comes next. However, I'm still wondering why do I need to consider to much? As the job that suits me has appeared alas...

This is human being. And I am, the realistic one, I might say. Whatever chances that may come, I will just grab it, isn't it? Hmmmm.... thinking......

a long lost friend...

2009-09-09T23:31:00.002+08:00

It's still so sentimental..
It's indeed a superb feeling having to meet such a good friend in FB chatbox earlier..

I'm really happy to be able to chat with her after losing in touch for around 5 years..
Flashing back.... during the times when I was in Form 4 and 5, she was still a very shy girl..
She was my classmate.. we used to sit close to each other... either me or her.. front and back to each other.. Although she was shy, but the resistance to talk never pulled her away from chatting with me.. we're such nice friends... The humbleness of hers has indeed taught me a lot, too. She was friendly, too. The smile on her face always remind me of the friendliness of hers...

She's Yi Zhen. Once a girl-next-door, a shy girl.. has become much more tough and matured now. She's a lady of the hospitality world. She took up this course right after SPM and went overseas to pursue her dream. She's still in Australia now.. doing double major. That's awesome. She's no longer the shy girl anymore. She told me her bunch of college friends dug her bravery out. I am truly happy to be able to chat with her again.

It suddenly reminds me of the past. The days we were younger, we were still innocent.. I'm missing it.. the good old days of teenhood...

If you're reading this, Yi Zhen.. I truly hope all the best for you and take care ya... =) till we meet again...

a SCAM

2009-09-06T11:50:00.003+08:00

BEWARE, ladies and gentlemen!

Yesterday was a horrifying experience for a friend of mine. The story goes like this:

She was walking along Jln Bukit Bintang when she bumped into a group of young guys in their early 20's. They were distributing look-like flyers thingy with "Mega Sales" written on it, to everyone passing by. It was quite interesting and my friend stopped for a while and tried her luck. It was quite similar to scratch-and-win contest. And so, when my friend opened that flyer, there was the gifts that she won. 3 products altogether... they range from foot massager, energy water system, sewing machine, vacuum cleaner to hi-fi theatre etc. While other passer-by only saw a word -thank you- in it.

And so, my friend thought that she was a lucky one. At the same time, the guy told her that she can collect the 3 prizes when she follow them back to the office where they stock the products. They kept persuading her and saying that they are registered company and not cheating at all. Adding on, the guy also mentioned that out of the 3 prizes, there remained the largest, fabulous prizes awaiting her. On the right side, there is a greyish round circle, and have to go back to the office to scan and see what is the prize. Well, adding on that it could be prizes that range from Toyota Altis, Perodua Viva, holiday package etc. Seeing that it might be a good opportunity to win one of this, my friend hesitated a while and finally, after being touched by their sincerity, she finally agreed.

Because at the same time, she needed to collect the prizes she have won. On the way to the place, that guy kept saying that he wished I could win a car as he can receive commission up to RM1000. Upon reaching, she was brought to an office to meet the manager of the company. The company name is Starr Healthcare (M) Sdn Bhd, located in Kuchai Lama. She smelled something was going on wrongly but that manager even showed her few newspaper articles, stating that lots of people have won from this contest. She read through the news and saw the photos. Everything seemed so real. The manager even said that if she really wins a car or laptop etc, I can immediately collect the product that day itself.

At this moment, they came up with a HOWEVER.. it would required my friend to pay a sum of RM5600 as a government tax for the 3 products she have won and company advertisement fees. After explanation and persuasion, my friend finally agreed to it. She went to ATM in a nearby bank and withdrew an amount of RM5*** before heading back to the office. At this time, they took out a form and jotted down all the serial numbers of the bank notes. As the amount hasn't reach RM5600, the manager volunteered to fork out RM600 for my friend. Seeing that, my friend never suspected him at all.

They explain a lot on the large prizes that she can have the chance to win. Saying that the holiday package to Bali worth RM7000 and it can be converted to cash if my friend does not want to go Bali. For this, my friend can earn Rm1400 after paying Rm5600. Also, if my friend won the car, they will bring her to police station immediately claiming that the car's owner is my friend as written on the document. They said if her current bank account has more than Rm3000, she can receive special benefits such as do not need to pay road tax and car insurance up to 3 years' long.

After being psycho and everything.. for which she thought it was real, they started scanning the round circle on the card. The results showed that it appeared as Number 13. According to the list of prizes, Number 1 is Toyota Altis and Number 2 is Proton Persona followed by Perodua Viva etc. Well, number 13 is a Jade Mattress, they claimed that it a Made in Japan product with good quality and the selling price in the market now is Rm8000 etc. My friend do not desire for it and tried to tell the guy that she doesn't want it. The guy said that he can help to find a friend from Singapore to sell the mattress. But to contact the friend, it has to be at night. And so, my lady friend went back with 4 items altogether. They were helpful to help her carry all these.

Upon reaching home, the more she thinks, the more she feel something was wrong. After searching the Internet, my friend finally broke down. She was cheated. All of this is a scam. The so-called Scratch-and-Win contest that was FAKE.

This is a true story and I have tried to search the net for more info. Lots of people are getting cheated and we must spread it out asap to avoid them getting deceived of their hard-earned money. Some of the links for which you can read as reference:

i) http://my.88db.com/my/Services/Post_Detail.page/Household/Buy_Sell/?PostID=68718

ii) http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1002003/+60

Friends, be alert and quickly avoid them approaching you. The happening places are such as areas nearby Times Square, Jln Bukit Bintang, Sg.Wang..

another month.....

2009-09-04T19:30:00.005+08:00

It's already September.

Lots of my friends who have graduated have got their jobs and even received their first salary in life. However, it isn't my turn yet...

Because I have just started finding suitable jobs and sending resumes two days ago. Truly, I'm not the one who can simply grab any job that's available in the market. I would rather choose it wisely but of course, not too slow like an old woman as I know first job in life means a lot to me.

Although graduation has ended almost 3 weeks ago, but it is still very fresh in my mind.

The reason is because I've just received a congratulation card from my aunt in Klang. enclosed together is a cheque for which it is meant as an incentive to me for my graduation. My mood sped really high once I saw the card. It's really thoughtful of her and uncle.

Right away that moment, I truly feel that I've been so lucky. I'm always surrounded by parents, sibling, relatives and friends who care for me ever since I'm born on this earth. Although we seldom meet, but my aunt always send her regards to us no matter how busy she is with her travelling to England every now and then. She's always here with us although we're far physically.

I truly cherish the kinship that I have all this while..........

graduation is around the corner...

2009-08-09T11:26:00.006+08:00

Actually I'm back at home this weekend is on a mission.
Because granny is too old to go KL and witness my graduation, that's why I am back at Kluang this week for the family album's photo shooting. At the same time, shot a personal photo of me wearing the graduation robe.

The whole family went for photo shooting last night. And, we have to wait till we can get the actual album. But luckily my sis was brilliant. She managed to capture some of the behind-the-scene photos.....

Counting down.... till 13th of August 2009............

flowers' in the air........

2009-08-07T20:57:00.005+08:00

It's a nice feeling to be at home.......
Yippie...

Well. Nutting much happen lately. Went to floral exhibition in Putrajaya.
I've flipped through the newspaper and found out that therewill be a 9-day floral show there. So, I decided to go and have a look. I and Raymond went there on Monday after his work. Of course it's during evening and almost nightfall. That's why the photo quality do not appear to be very colourful and attractive. But I've tried my very best dy...

Let's have a look... beautiful and colourful flowers......

I love nature!!

twenty-three

2009-08-03T15:47:00.004+08:00

I'm getting old..

That's not self-acknowledgment. But it's by the surrounding and the environment which have repeatedly emphasize me on this particular issue. For which I dare not raise up until I have to finally admit it, too.

Precisely, when people surrounding me chat about some adults' topics every now and then.
Some hot topics that are being discussed lately are:
- salary
- marriage
- pregnancy
- future family etc.

We're just 23 now. But the future seems so close to us at hearts yet still invisibly seen. Chatting with few friends of diverse backgrounds. Although we're different in many perspectives, but the topics are almost the same. They are also worried about the future. Thinking about this.. and also about that.

That is normal. I share the same thoughts too... That's the life transition now.. I hate transition when everything is so unsure of. But it's a part and parcel of life. The best option is to plan and accept it.

Let's conquer the uncertainties....

a call

2009-07-21T14:35:00.002+08:00

So cold.. It's raining for almost half of the day.. non-stop.. kinda wish to sleep right now...
Energy-less... =/

Well... received a phone call yesterday afternoon...
IBM HR department called me and asked if I would like to work for them.. It was out of a sudden thingy.
So I straightaway told him that I haven't got a job but I'm willing to start working in Nov. Haha..
So, that guy told me he will call me in Nov then..

After that, I found out from my friend working in IBM said because the company desperately need people. That's why they resorted to get students' information from UM and contacted us.
That's amazing... an MNC will do that kind of thing to recruit new employees..

P/S: will not be updating my blog so often due to the unavailability of internet connection at my place now. keep me posted if there's anything ya..

obstacles

2009-07-13T18:23:00.004+08:00

Things can come out of a sudden without giving any signals.
And that are the challenges that drive us to the limit.
For sure, it appeared very tough at the very first few days.
As time goes on, I become more used to them and I will be brave to overcome them.

Time has indeed healed my wound. And, I'm better now. In fact, I really feel that these are the obstacles that I have to face one day. For which, one can't avoid it but to accept with open arms.
Yes, God wants us to grow up, too. (Just like ZhiHowe mentioned)

Although I did not manage to solve them right at the moment, but I'm assured that it will be fixed one day. Just gimme a little bit more time to get it done..

thank you

2009-07-09T23:04:00.001+08:00

Thanks friends for being so supportive...
And always behind me........
I know I can handle it well..

Time will prove everything...........

leave the past and grow up

2009-07-08T21:51:00.003+08:00

Something happened to me. A terrible thing. I cried and cried again. I would not further emphasize what is that. It's a life lesson for me.

Suddenly feel there's still a lot I am unaware. A lot more I have to think and care besides being the little girl with innocent thoughts all this while.
I have always think of myself. Always. All this while, I have neglected one thing.
It's time for me to sacrifice and embrace what is good for me and for my future.

All this while being bred and grown up in a healthy family. Nothing much to worry. Being the happy girl without problems arising. Truly, the freedom I have was marvellous.

At this age, it's time for me to think more. To understand others. To think of the future. I can no longer be the one being so protective.. Time to look farther. Observe and comprehend.

I can do it.

memories

2009-07-07T22:22:00.002+08:00

First time taking photos with them. Zurina and Nirmala.
It's such a coincidence that both of them also attend this programme but Zurina is in different batch while Nirmala is in the same class as me.
My primary-secondary schoolmates. The friendship blossomed ever since we were attending primary Convent in Kluang. Zurina was my classmate while Nirmala was in the Blue class.
How time flies.. The normal phrase used to describe this.
We met up for lunch together today. It is indeed a rare opportunity for us to sit together and chat about the past. Primary school teachers to friends and the names brought back the beautiful Convent memories..
Oh ya.. before we went out for lunch, we saw this cute car parking outside our college. It was so cute and I decided to take photo of it..

hectic days

2009-07-06T22:35:00.004+08:00

Yesterday was tiring enuff.. another weekend that was so exhausting...
Was back from Segamat on Sunday afternoon. Quickly washed my car at Raymond's place before I sped off and picked up my sis for a shopping trip in OneU.

She's still having another awful orientation week in her Law faculty for this entire week. So, this weekend might not be able to meet her up. Hopefully she can adapt to this completely new and challenging environment. Sent her back around 8 something after dinner yesterday.

Rewind to Thursday. When I met up with YH and SY. Asked JT and SP to join along too. Since friends are in KL, its a nice one to have a short gathering. So I asked to meet them up at MV. Well, at the same time I suggested that we celebrate SY's birthday, too.

Here are some photos....

It was my first time ever meeting up with SY and YH in KL.

Thanks for giving me such memorable dinner together...

last weekend

2009-06-29T20:47:00.005+08:00

Been busy with my last weekend. Now only I have ample time to update blog.

What's the recent happenings?

Basically, have met up with JT again on Friday night to do some shopping spree. The main purpose was to help my sis to buy some of the stuffs for her to bring to Uni. At the same time, we had our dinner at "Just Thai" and had a drink at Starbucks for the first time in our lives before leaving One U.

I was unable to sleep the whoole night. *Thanks to that iced-latte*

For the half Saturday, went out with Raymond and his sis for a shopping trip, too.

And met up with dad, mum and sis that night. We had dinner together. We stayed at our cousin's house for a night before sending my sis to UM for registration and followed by a week's orientation.

Sunday morning till afternoon was at UM. After sending my sis there, I drove mum and dad to Putrajaya for a spin. My busy day ended around 4 something after I washed my car during that afternoon.

Today, whole body is filled with exhaustion. Was sleeping away in the class earlier. Wondering what had happened. Perhaps, it was due to two restless nights. -What an old lady-

change

2009-06-24T21:54:00.003+08:00

Today's lesson in class.

CHANGE MANAGEMENT.

It's a completely new subject for us. As we have never had studied such a topic in school or university before.

It was an interesting lesson.

DARE to CHANGE. DARE to ADAPT to the changes in LIFE.

And, that were the essential elements we have learned in class today.

We watched a short video entitled "Who Moved My Cheese", yes, it was adapted from the book.

Well, it flashed a lot in my mind out of a sudden.

Changes in life is something so ordinary and yet, that is the hardest one for us to do.

Not because we're unwilling. Not because we don't dare.

We're just too used to stay in the comfort zone.

Sticking out butts in the mud will never get us too far.

Basically, what I've learned is...

CHANGE is fundamental.

We should know what and why we want to do it.

Only by that, can we trail the goals to achieve.

P/S: I've learn something new today.

meeting up

2009-06-23T21:31:00.004+08:00

Was able to meet up with SP and JT for dinner yesterday. Even though we reached One U around 8 something, almost 9pm, but we were still so excited, yet so hungry. I suggested that we go to that nice cafe called Garden. Well, it was my first time there with them.

They were so busy snapping photos while I was already so tired waiting for food to come and recharge my battery. T'was a nice one. Friends catching up, chatting and eating.
After dinner, which was almost 9 plus, we went to Breadstory as suggested by SP as there was 30% discount storewide starting from 9pm onwards. So, JT bought a cake. So cute and each of us were fed by JT by using a spoon. *sharing saliva*

Here are some photos took by SP's handphone.

Korean delights

2009-06-22T23:14:00.003+08:00

Rewinding back to last Friday. Went out for dinner with Raymond. And, as usual.. he asked me, where to have dinner?

I replied, I don't know, for the first time. Because, I want him to generate some ideas. Not me, always. Well, both of us were lie.. gearing our brains for so long and yet, we couldn't figure out where and what to have!

We drove to Kuchai Lama, somewhere near his place. Spinned for few rounds and finally, decided to park the car and walked and searched for a special cafe or restaurant.
In the end, we bumped upon this unnoticeable, small and quite dull Korean BBQ restaurant. We flipped thru the menu palced outside the door and the waiter invited us in. Without hesitation, we went in and proceeded with the ordering of food and beverages.

Only two of us in the restaurant........ It was so empty.
Business is so difficult to survive nowadays.....
And, there it was.. My first time in Korean serving restaurant.. snapped some photos about the food.

celebration

2009-06-21T21:58:00.003+08:00

Happy Father's Day!!

And, we celebrated at Pizza Hut. Dad was attending a wedding dinner of a relative and he managed to eat just until the 3rd dish and we fetched him for our father's day celebration. Hehe..

Since it's also the last week before sis move into campus, so.. we also managed to celebrate mum's be-earlied birthday which will be on 25th June.

Everything was so fine.. I really love them so much!!!

And, also congrats to my sis for getting her first choice - UM, Law course. All the best to her, too!

I love my family............. See them in the coming Saturday.....

a day with double-luck

2009-06-18T23:15:00.005+08:00

Guess what's this? It's a love letter from the government to me. Oopz. Not me, but my car. They sticked it using the wiper on the car. How insincere huh? Interested to know what is the content? Of course. Just by clicking on the picture, you'll know it. Yes, how lucky I was for today. My car got summoned.

Just as usual, instead of driving to Stamford College and park at the area which requires RM5 per day, I resorted to another solution to save the money spent on that. So.... today, I have planned to park at Uni station like I used to do when I attend classes at KLCC area. Well, during the past, parking here isn't a problem coz I don't receive any summons. Well, today. It's such a 'lucky' day for me. I got this! And, according to Raymond's sis who's an inspector, she said it's unnecessary to pay summons issued by MBPJ. But, for mine, it's from DBKL. Which means, there won't be a NO for me. I have to PAY.

From trying to save parking fee.. ended up paying as much as a "pas bulanan's" amount - RM100. So sad.......

Anyway, I'm quite dumb, I should admit. Gosh... Alrite. Forget it.

Move to something happy. Went to Cheras and met up with SN for dinner. We went to a Thai cafe.. called A-Wet. We ordered a tomyam soup, fried kangkung and fried fish set including fried brinjal, some lady fingers, long beans and a small bowl of blended chilli sauce. It was nice one. I love it. Coz I was indeed too hungry coz I reached there around 8pm - to avoid congestion. Thanks SN for recommending this for me. But, I can only go there once and then. Coz not too close to PJ and the price is hmm... not too economical. Hehe.. But I love such unique delicacies. =)

And, that was my day. I'm going to sleep now. A bit late already. Just now was searching for some clues for my assignment. Argh.. kinda tough.. Hope I can finish it soon.

yesterday

2009-06-17T21:55:00.002+08:00

These few days.. Life's not so free at night after classes.
Hehe.. Coz I've been planning to meet up with friends every now and then..
Was so delighted that yesterday I managed to have dinner with my best friend, Xiao Rong.
It's been 1 month plus I last met her. How time flies!

So we chatted for an hour and I drove her home. The journey to her house was a mess. Haha.. Coz she cant recognise the way bek to her house. So, after making a large turn.. finally managed to drive her back. Glad to have meet her. So long din chat with her..

Well, today classes move back to Stamford College dy. It's quite good coz I don't need to squeeze with others in the lrt to KLCC. That is indeed a blessing. So, car also becomes a necessity. But I'm still not on the right track bcoz I'm still deciding whether to drive to the area or leave it at Uni station to save parking fee, where else, it costs me RM5 per day.

Kinda feel sympathize for my car. Coz it is getting quite dirty and I'm trying hard to make it clean. But, the air here... quite polluted. Juz by parking by the roadside for whole day, the caris covered with ashes. So irritating. The air is indeed crummy. OMG. How I wish I can have a pipe and wash it away. But, too bad, even a proper parking place also don't have.. what more to demand for pipe to wash the car.

God knows..

2009-06-15T22:37:00.004+08:00

Taking lrt to attend classes near KLCC has been a daily schedule each morning.
Being like a sardine in such a crowded public amenity sounds pretty horrifying, are you aware of it? When the space is limited, and everyone wants to get on board to avoid being late for work and to get home asap after work.. most of the time the bodies do get intact with others. Male of female, all the same. But, I try to avoid myself from these disgusting feeling.

It's even worse when, we're already so close to each other and yet, this particular 'someone' while flipping through the newspaper, SNEEZED and COUGHED. Wow.. that's precisely dangerous. Because who knows, it might contained viruses! One never knows... That was went I stood still and no way could I move further. No spacefor that. I was like... tossing my head to the opposite side. That's the only method.

I know, that won't help at all....

weekend outing

2009-06-14T22:20:00.007+08:00

Despite being so busy during weekdays, I never intend to spend time resting at home during weekend. I'm not used to it. I'd rather do something meaningful and worthy.

On Saturday night, we went to The Curve for a walk. After dinner at Secret Recipe craving for scrumptious cake and spaghetti, happened to see the Bird Park exhibition there. So, took some nice photos of the birds.. Most of them are parrots. They were so magnificently colourful. I love the colours! Red, green and pure white...

Then, this Sunday afternoon, we went sightseeing in Putrajaya. It's been so long since I went there. And, the last time was to bring my sis there just to snap some nice photos. That was at night. And, had not been able to enjoy more of the architecture. And yeah, I suggested Raymond to bring me there! Well, he's quite familiar with the area coz he attend meetings in Putrajaya every now and then. Bravo.. he agreed to bring me there.

We snapped some photos and more on the architectures. It was my first time looking at the buildings so closely. I truly admire the exterior design as well as the structure. Truly, I was thinking I was at somewhere outside Malaysia as I entered the area, especially when all the governmental bodies' are situated there.

Here are some photos that speak for me:

Btw, on Saturday night, received a call from a Malay friend. She's Fazlin. She was a friend in primary 6 but we were in different class. She called to ask me for a gathering with other primary schoolmates. That was such a nice one. But, too bad, they will be having it at KLCC the coming Sunday for which I'm going home for Fathers' Day. Hope to meet them soon...

a great lesson learnt

2009-06-11T20:31:00.003+08:00

How was the interview on Tuesday?
It was a great experience.
The first moment I entered that company.. it eventually made me feel horrified. With other 9 of the applicants, I guess I'm the most freshly graduate and I'm the youngest. Some have worked before and are still working, some are just back from overseas, some have been exposed to countless interview experiences before. Only me, I'm still so new. Their English are so fluent that u can't hardly differentiate if they're Malaysians or foreigns.

Wow.. when I got there, we filled up the forms. And, the HR Manager gave a short briefing with the slides consisting of the company's profile and video of the Management Trainee programme. Everything was held in their large meeting room. Then, we were given a case study and needed to study it and write an essay in 30 mins' time. We proceeded with a 20 mins' numerical test. It was hard and all of us did not manage to complete answering.

We were given a short 5 mins' break. Then, moved on to verbal test. 32 questions and need to finish by 18 mins. That was short! And, we needed to read some statements and passages and the questions are based on them. Only true, false or cannot say. Just pick one. The statements were all in different categories. Some in scientific form, health, business and etc. Awesome!

Then, the management marked our papers and those who don't passed will need to leave before moving on to second part. I thought I was the one who ought to leave. But, luckily I managed to stay. Then, left 8 of us, were divided into 2 groups. 4 person in group 1 will proceed with group activity which lasted for 30 mins' long. That was almost like a case study, for which were given a situation and 4 persons will need to have a discussion and came up with a solution and answer. At the same time, there were 5 top management people sitting by aside trying to judge us.

I was in the 2nd group. So, we waited for our turn in another room. It ended at 1pm and we were out for lunch break for an hour. Then, continued with interview session with managers. When it was my turn, the time was already 3.20pm. Well, then I was interviewed by 2 female managers. At first, I could answer their questions. But, as the questions got tougher, I was like jumbling up my sentences and could not figure out what were they asking about. True enough, the questions were tough.

I could say, I did my best. I know I won't manage to get into the 2nd interview session which is held next week. However, I won't feel too disappointed. As this is a learning experience for me. It was my first time. And, it is indeed an exposure to me. No problem.. =)

Yesterday reached home around 10pm. My class ended at 6.30pm and I took lrt back to Uni station. Was feeling kinda bored, so I phoned JT and asked her out for dinner together. I went and fetched her. We had our dinner at One U. Had a long chat with her. Hope to meet up with her again in the coming week.

beating fast

2009-06-08T20:36:00.003+08:00

The heart is thumping so fast.. seems like its aware of the circumstances I'm facing right now.

The preparation for tomorrow's interview.

Time flies. And, I'm going to brace up and face a challenging situation..

To sit for few assessment tests before I can finally meet face-to-face with the managers for interview session.

I will try my best. Will just do my level best and leave the rest to God.

..........................................................................................................................

i appreciate

2009-06-04T20:52:00.002+08:00

I'm gonna share a short phrase.
Usually, meaningful words or sentences won't be so easily erased from my mind.
Or perhaps, it's long-lasting. It's permanently stored in my mind.

"Don't be thrifty for others (friends & family). You can be thrifty for yourself."

Dad engraved this sentence in my mind. He told me in Chinese. I'm deeply touched by this. Because, that is the way dad brought us up. He is always spending on others. He will help others in the way that some pakcik and makcik in the stalls without customers. That is when dad gives a lending hand. He becomes their customer. And, that is how he said he can assist others and at the same time he feels happy.

That is when he feels life is contented.

humans

2009-06-03T20:23:00.002+08:00

In Malaysia, education comes very easily to our daily life. It is something so common that nowadays, up to 80% of us have educational background up to SPM level and majority have at least a Diploma cert. Yes, it has become something being easily grabbed for. In pursuing education, many take things for granted. I do admit that most of us never ponder how blessed we are in seeking education as a means for a brighter future.

Some are less fortunate. Some staying in rural areas and from faraway land are the ones whom we can see grateful and appreciative spirits in them. I got to know some friends while in this Scicom Academy. Yes, truly, all of us are from diverse backgrounds. My dad granted me a car so as to meet convenience in this hectic city. When I asked an Indian friend, she told me she took a public transport to the college. As I asked further, she is currently staying in Seremban. Yes, it is NOW. Therefore, she travels to and from Seremban EVERYDAY. Wakes up as early as 4.45am and reached home after class around 9-10pm. It is a daily routine.

Another friend. She's from Klang. Yes, travels by public buses daily to the college, where we are currently placed in (Stamford College). My old friend, Zurina. She stays in Subang Jaya. It is similar for here. By bus, too.

I heard a lot more similar stories from many others. Education is important. They are willing to sacrifice time and energy for education. Why can't others? There are many other families who are willing to support their children and have the abilities to let them pursue education. Why aren't they be feeling grateful? Humans. When something is right in front of our eyes, they ignore it. When it is gone or never been there at all, he/she tend to strive hard to obtain it.

Life.

interview

2009-06-02T20:07:00.005+08:00

I've just received an email from Reckitt Beckiser. I was waiting patiently for their email until yesterday, I have yet to get any from them.. So, I emailed them regarding this matter. Later, followed by several missed calls from them for which I did not manage to pick up. It was such an embarassing one because I think they were quite urgent.

And, alas, I managed to answer the call around 5pm. Well, they emailed me today, too. I was delighted. Truly happy. I replied them by saying I will attend the interview session. The email was outlined very formally. From the details stated, I have to undergo 2 stages for the selection process:
Stage 1 – Preliminary Assessment, Group Assessment & Interview with Managers
Stage 2 – Interview with Directors (Only those shortlisted from Stage 1 will proceed to the Stage 2)
I will attend the first stage on the coming 9th of June. Mentioned above, I will take some assessment test. They have also enclosed a link for which I can go into and have a try on the exercises on verbal and numerical reasoning test. Aww.. I can see their efforts there.

I can also sense the significance level of the company selecting the cream of the crop. I feel quite daunting in the sense of the completeness and seriousness in their email. Honestly, I don't really have much confidence but I will try my best. If I failed in the end, I will treat it as a learning experience.

P/S: Btw, I've met Zurina and Nirmala during the training just now. Nirmala is in the same class as me, but Zurina is in different batch.

a car

2009-06-01T20:25:00.004+08:00

Some people say..
Wow.. owning a car can be so fantastic. Yup, that is indeed.
We can control our own pace, you know, as in counting the time and reaching the place that we are heading to. Without depending on the public transport such as buses for which they have fixed schedule. Every 15 minutes once~ or somehow it can be tremendously longer than expected. (That's a Malaysian way)

But somehow, just a day owning the car by myself does not make me feel ecstatic. No no no.. I didn't say I'm not grateful for being given a new car to drive. I do really appreciate parents' efforts. They want me to feel the convenience. And, yes, I greatly feel it.

On the other hand, having a car means we tend to pay extra attention to it. I will keep a lookout for its safety condition, the place I've parked it; whether it is protected, the car's cleanliness or perhaps, I will be extra protective about it when I'm driving. Furthermore, parents will be calling more often to ask about my condition, whether I've reached somewhere safely. I think that makes them feel extra worried. (SF & SN also feel worried for me- for which their smses came in when I drove to KL)

Everything will start to change a little bit. Life is no longer the same.
I promise I'll drive cautiously and hence, hopefully the car doesn't bring much problem to me, too.

.....

2009-05-27T20:32:00.003+08:00

I've told you.. I dislike changes at last minute! And now, yes, there is another alteration at the last juncture. No class for tomorrow until next Tuesday. Wow. Yes, I'm happy because I can go back to Kluang ady. I'm fuming as I don't like such things being thrown at me without any early notice. You know, I have a plan. Gosh.. I'm gonna tolerate with all these in future. Oopz, I should say.. no more repetitive changes again~

One more thing. I'm sure in the previous blog it was stated I've made up my mind and are firm with the choice. Well, I'm sinking again. I've no idea which to choose AGAIN! The company called me yesterday right after I've blogged about my current choice. Well, she asked me to attend for the interview session, which would fall on 9th of June. It's a Tuesday. And, what a coincidence. My sis is also going to attend a interview for her scholarship thingy somewhere in KL. Wow.. both of us are doing the same thing on the same day. That's called sisters-fate. LoL.

Alright. Don't ask me where should I be heading for. My mind is full of question marks swinging all around. But, please allow me to ask you where can I go. I do need some advice.
Plan A or Plan B? Or, perhaps, pick both? (oh no no no.. taking both will kill me).

bright side

2009-05-26T15:36:00.002+08:00

Things can turn out great if we try not to see on the dark side.

It was on Saturday. A friend smsed me and said another friend of us received an email from Scicom regarding the class being postponed to 27th, Wednesday. Yes, it was supposed to begin on Monday. Their email came in quite late as I think that was quite irresponsible for informing us late. Moreover, they smsed us on Sunday. It's really a last minute thing to do. I know, by all means, they would not simply change the date. Perhaps, they may have some unavoidable reasons behind.

I was quite frustrated actually. Coz I'm a person who will plan things few days before. So, it ultimately altered some of my plans. So, I re-arranged my things. Instead of going to classes on Monday, I went to MV in the afternoon and searched for something. Shopping alone can be quite lonely.. And I had my lunch alone too. So pathetic.. LoL.

It's a Tuesday. This morning was quite busy with meeting up with lecturers and requiring them to fill up some referee forms to apply for MBA thingy. Met two of them. There's one from my faculty. She's a Phd holder. She advised me a lot. I think I gained much, too. I guessed the trip back to UM was quite meaningful. As I walked along the classes I've been in for 3 years, I really can't bear to part with the environment for which I had been so familiar with..

Anyway, no classes but utilising the time to fasten my application procedures made me feel glad. Yes, apart from seeing the dark side, there's always the bright side waiting for us to discover.

live today

2009-05-22T10:53:00.004+08:00

I'm going to get back to a more orderly lifestyle soon.
What's awaiting me? What sort of classes/lessons would I be attending the coming Monday?
What are the programmes that the Scicom Academy will intro to us?
Completely, idea-less. All I know is, I'm going to attend the class from 9am-5pm weekdays for the whole 2 months, to further equip myself with better interpersonal and soft skills.

4 days ago, which is on Sunday. I have sent out my resume and cover letter to a FMCG company - Reckitt Benckiser. (the one that produces products such as Dettol, Protex, Vanish, Strepsils, Shieldtox). I learnt that it is searching for suitable candidates for their management trainee program. So, I entered its website and uploaded all the relevant docs. It's the first company for which I apply for a job. Well, yesterday, they phoned me. Asking me to further email my results starting from SPM up to current semester's to them.

The lady who called me was quite polite. In the sense that we chatted quite a while. She asked me some basic questions as well as I told her I'm in midst of nowhere to make a decision as I'm also interested in doing MBA. Her advice was, I can work and at the same time studying part time. I know that's the only option if I'm not willing to give up both. (All right, I shall wait if I'm shortlisted for the interview and decide this later).
: there goes the word YH mentioned in her blog: 活在当下.

Choices

2009-05-18T23:47:00.003+08:00

5 years before:
I've completed SPM. I was at crossroads. I sobbed. I was down. Truly conquered by decision making process. I "used to" have my own goals in life. That is to be a designer, either fashion or graphic. Arts and design have both become an aim in my secondary life. They used to be the motivation for me to complete my secondary school. And, yes, I can choose to go my own way. (Be a designer). To do things according to my interests.

NO. That was not like that. Which parents would being 100% supportive for this kind of decision? I can say, only some of them. By all means, they want their children to pursue education that could secure a better future. Yes, education is essential. The higher, the better.

So, STPM became my final choice. And, there I went to SMKTHO. I was not disappointed. Because I should also respect their wish of guiding me to making wise choice. I dare not be blameful. Well, there ended STPM. Truly, I had tried my very best then. Because, the sixth form marked the first important stage in my life. To change, I must work hard.

And I DID it. I did my parents proud. I was satisfied. I was filled with appreciation but also with tiny regrets. (for not pursuing my interest in design).

3 years before:

So excited. Life's finally reaching to another peak phase in life. Going to enter University. Going to be a university student. It can be quite thrilling during the campus life. I've earned a lot. Not academically but through various personal life lessons which even books cant have such life philosophies.

Learnt about growing up. The changes of being dependent at home to being not relying too much on parents. Staying in the hostel. No personal transport. Walking to a distance of 300-metres away to attend classes at the faculty. Regardless sunny or rainy days. Walking and climbing up 4th floor to my room has become a norm.

Hostel life has become so precious to me. With friends of all backgrounds staying together, united as one part of the hostel - ASTARIANS (college's name is ASTAR- Asrama Tunku Abdul Rahman). Hostel is just like my home.

Now:
I have such strong feeling of going back to the past. Now, 3 years of study has ended. I still could not believe such beautiful memories will vanish physically from my life.

Being in a transition between graduation and worklife OR pursuing Master programme is the toughest decision I've ever met. Yes, doing Masters is always better than working. That's how adults always educate us to pursue higher education level to secure a better job and guaranteed salary. I do heed their advice. I agree with it, too.

But when we are making choices, we often make comparison between the pros of the 2 things. Of course we want to make a wise decision which is regarding our future. Some people said, working also can upgrade us. In the way that we develop interpersonal skill by experiences of working together with colleagues. Working experiences also guide us to become a mature person. That is how it often guide us to become a potential and capable employee as time nurture us.

This is all between making choices. Whether that will be filled with regrets or satisfaction. I dare not say I am truly satisfied with who I am today. Because, we cannot judge life. But I am happy with who and what I am today.
I've lost something precious to me but I've also gained another at the same time.
We can never have both.

That is life. There's no so-called perfect life.

Air Papan Beach

Ouch.. I've got sunburn at my back!! I deserved it coz I din apply sunblock~`

Well, just had a great outing with my friends.. Convent gang.. Such a nice trip to Air Papan beach. We played and we had a picnic there... It's the first time going for a short trip with you gals. The feeling is HIGH on top of the world.

We had a very early breakfast around 7 something in the morning. Then, we departed around 8.10am.. Phew.. the journey took around 2 hours to reach Air Papan which is located in Mersing, Johor.

The road is kinda narrow and the drivers drove averagely slow -80-90km per hour. We reached there around 10 something. It's nice looking at the blue, calm sea as well as the cooling breeze. We quickly ran to the beach and played with the sand. The beach is really clean. Perhaps, it's not a really famous destination for people, that's why pollution seems to be visibly lesser than other well-known beaches throughout the peninsular.

A word to describe.. GREAT! However, how I wished more friends could join us, too. Too bad they can't. It's alright. I hope we will have another superb trip in future. A way to enhance relationship among friends~ 10 years of friendship doesn't come by so easily.

After the half day at Air Papan.. We also had planned a birthday blast for Soo Fei. Altogether 9 of us went to Barney's - our first stop. And yes~ I guess all of these Convent gals enjoyed the gathering & celebration. We took turns and snapped photos with SF, the birthday gal. After that, we decided to go to Old Town for our teatime. Wow.. 9pm.. and we're having tea break at the 2nd floor of the outlet. The ambience is nice~ It's my first time there..

A short note specially dedicated to SF:
To me, you are really a nice friend. You are there for me whenever I need you.. flashing back through the times in KL. You assisted me a lot. You even advised me on certain things. I'll never forget the times we spent together and anticipating for our future. I'll never regret for knowing you. Hope all the best for you.. =) Bless you always...

the days..

2009-05-13T21:23:00.005+08:00

Some random photos I've taken all these days.......

Been so busy lately.. Until now only I have the time to check my mailbox, update blog and upload some recent photos of mine..

After exams on Tuesday, quickly met up with my sis who went to kl for shopping spree.

Then, we even went to Joanne's house and stayed overnight. We really adore her baby - his name is Sky.

Then, we were back to Kluang on Friday. Took a short rest for the day before I drove mum to Seremban to visit our grandma and went to Nilai for dinner with all my uncles and aunties. That was indeed tiring for me. As I was the driver for the whole day.

We came back to Kluang on Monday. Before that, we stopped at Malacca for some snacks and shopping. After that, straightaway rushed back to Kluang and sped off to meet up with friends - qh, sE, sy, sP & mE. Phew.. I was really tired but glad to have met them.

I'm glad I have utilised my time for these.. been so long since I've ever feel so relaxed. Gotta cherish the last few days in Kluang as I will start the training programme on the coming Monday.

2009-05-05T22:35:00.002+08:00

I have finished my last paper in Uni life!!!

Quite excited at first..
But now.. feeling rather a bit sad...
Gonna leave hostel very soon...
.....................................................................................

Get together and depart..
It's really part and parcels of life.

yesterday...

2009-05-01T11:47:00.004+08:00

Out of a sudden, I feel like going for a movie. You know, lamn studying and focusing on notes without remembering any of them actually wasted a lot of time. Rather than seeing the time passing like that.. why not choose to do something meaningful? LoL.

So.. I decided to go for a break. Went to One U for dinner last night with Raymond and dragged him along to watch "Threads of Destiny", which I think it must be quite a nice Japanese love story.
Well, not bad either.. just like I've imagined it. It touched my heart but somehow, sort of not that touching like it has described in its introduction and synopsis.

Watever it is.. I've managed to relax myself before I start to strive hard again today..
There will be 2 papers on Monday and 1 in the following day.

2009-04-30T13:56:00.001+08:00

No motivation so study..
Please motivate me how to be motivated to get into the study mood.

Toms Shoes

2009-04-27T23:03:00.004+08:00

Have you read today's The Star?
Yes, I did despite having a paper to sit tomorrow.

The heading: Shoes for tomorrow...
The sub-heading: By donating a pair of shoes for every one sold, Blake Mycoskie is helping to eradicate a deforming foot disease in Ethiopia.

Let's get it short and clear. This guy makes an effort to help the poor in the African country. He opens a business which produces shoes and donates 1 pair with every 1 pair sold.

The most important thing is the name he established for the shoe company - Toms Shoes. Why is it Toms? It stands for tom-morrow.. This simple, 32-year-old guy had indeed touched my heart, or most probably touched many readers' when they read the article today.

His goal for the business - not to earn as much as he can, but to donate as many pairs of shoes as he can afford to..

World is indeed brighter with benevolent and charitable soul like Mycoskie.

Triang

2009-04-26T23:21:00.004+08:00

Was back from Pahang earlier afternoon..
As you can see from the above photos, we went there for a wedding dinner - Raymond's friend, who's also a senior from UM.
It was my first time in Triang.. a very small town located somewhere near to Tasik Bera, 2 and half-hour journey from KL. It's a new place for me.. It's a completely different village from the ones we had in Kluang. It's smaller and the residents are more captivated in their own daily activities in the same area...

We started driving on Saturday noontime.. Raymond drove slowly as we had to search for the place according to a location map given by his friend. When we reached Temerloh tol, there's still a long distance away before we found Triang. All along.. I had the opportunity to gaze at the long and wide Sg.Pahang.. it's really a huge river all along the road...

At night after the dinner.. I coincidently looked up in the sky.. There is when I found that skies away from hustle-bustle of city are always clearer especially when there is no rain.. there are countless of in the sky.. The immediate reaction in my mind isn't to count how many but to pick them down one by one.. LoL. The sky is soooooo beautiful with the stars twinkling.. it's been such a long time since I've seen so magnificent view..

It's really a splendid journey despite the tiredness.. but I've seen into another culture and different sceneries in just a tiny dot across the peninsular...

WHAT a DAY~

2009-04-24T15:29:00.003+08:00

When you're really unlucky.. and there u go.. REALLY BAD LUCK all the way...

I just came back to hostel from Kluang.. Thought all should be going on smoothly until I reach UM because, well weather is so hot.. of coz there should not be any rain..

Neither did I realised that there are a lot of things beyond our control.

After I alighted the bus from Pudu, as usual I will walk a distance until I reach Pasar Seni station. Well, when I was just few steps away from the station, my one of the strap of my travel bag was detached. In other word, PUTUS. It's been so long since I used this bag and this is the reason why it suddenly broken. And so, I had to rely on the other strap and hold on until I reach hostel...

Next, I bought the Universiti station ticket and that mean I was supposed to take the lrt facing that direction. BUT.... I entered the lrt facing the opposite direction! At first I din realise I took the wrong train. After a while when they announced.. station berikutnya, Masjid Jamek.. only I was shocked. I feel like laughing because it's the first time I made such mistake! But of course I managed to hold it coz people would think I'm nuts.. so, I quickly got out from the lrt and waited for the other one in the opposite direction~

After reaching Uni station, I decided not to wait for public bus. So I walked into UM... by the time I reached the main gate.. the guard stopped me.
He asked me if I'm a student here.
He asked where I was heading to.
I told him, nak pergi First College.
That Indian guard asked, untuk urusan aper?
I said, saye tinggal di sane...
He replied.. Mane matric card? *student card*..
Then, with one of my hands holding heavy books & files, and the other shoulder was carrying the bag.. I searched for my purse and then handed him my card.
He asked, kenape tak pakai?
I said.. biasanye kite tak pakai punye..
He asked, KENAPER?
I was so energetic-less to answer him. I repeated the same answer.. and replied: Terima Kasih.
Then, I walked away.

Please.... normally they wont check on us like that. I'm really unlucky to meet such a security guard..

I thought everything ended.........

After that, I decided to ON my laptop to check on some assignments.. Xiaorong told me she cleaned and updated the virus in it ady.. So, I was happy and glad coz it's never easy to use the wi-fi line to update anti-virus.. When I on it, the system appeared to be working very slowly at the beginning.. ok.. I waited. Then, when the main window appeared.. everything is so different! I was a bit shock.. At the first moment, I was thinking about the documents I had stored.. Luckily, I managed to save them in d' drive for prevention if any virus make the laptop unable to function. This laptop now.. seems like the one we had just formatted. My wallpapers, files and some pictures all GONE. But the more important ones, are still in d drive. Thank God.

And there it is.. my UNLUCKY day..
I hope nothing will shock me again until I sleep tonight.........

2009-04-22T21:17:00.002+08:00

Exam fever........................
In fact, I'm not feeling heavily stress...
But, I'm feeling a bit sort of unbearable to leave the campus~

Anyway, all the best to everyone's who are sitting and going to sit for the exams~

Genting~

2009-04-19T21:02:00.003+08:00

I went for a trip to Genting wif my bunch of Business coursemates.. a total of 12 of us departed on Wednesday and stayed for a night there.

That was a really nice trip.. and full of excitement..
When we reached, they suggested to have sushi for lunch. And, thus.. there we went to Sushi King.. I only ate 3-4 plates.. though the price is RM2 per plate.. LoL. I did not have much cravings for sushi.. =) eating it is just a pleasure..

After that, we placed our luggage at the hotel before we left for the outdoor themepark activities.. FYI, the all themepark fees only costed us RM26 per pax.. That was really very cheap! Because XiaoRong's sis works there.. so, we had this real affordable discounted price! Thanks to her..

So, we did not wasted the ticket.. To be honest, we managed to play up to 70% of the different thrilling & moderate rides..~ That was really once in a lifetime I managed to do so.. perhaps, really depends on what kinda friends we go with.. ^^ they're all daring, crazy and nuts.. haha..

We played till 7pm! And then, joined some of them who're not playing for dinner time. We chose to eat at food court because wanted to save $ instead of choosing buffet earlier.. We took a bath later and continued with the indoor theme park rides.. LoL.

Everything ended at midnight when we went for supper at Old Town before headed back to the hotel.. The next day, we continued with playing the indoor game machines before we left for lunch at Sushi King again.. LoL. Because it was cheap...

We eneded the trip at 1 sumting and reached UM at 4pm.. =) really had great moments with them.. I will miss them lots..~

statistics

2009-04-14T23:44:00.003+08:00

Most of the statistics state:
More couples are into late marriages..
This DID alerted and made me said YES with it.

Now, even if the statistics have proven that single-person households are on the rise,
I don't really believe it.
There are simply a lot of the couples who got married and settled down earlier than the estimated age. Preferably, 24-27 years old.
This is so true when I look around. Seeing friends around me to receive 'red bombs' from time to time. They are just in their mid twenties...

Perhaps, statistics are more accurately proven if judge it holistically.

a day to remember...

2009-04-13T20:59:00.006+08:00

Just celebrated my 2nd anniversary with Raymond on Saturday.
Had great outings with him because it's been so long since we sing-K together. But usually I will listen rather than sing.. you know, I'm out of tune.. LoL.
For the whole last week.. I was really extremely busy with assignments and preparation for final presentations. Everything packed like sardin in a tin. Suffocating.. and no energy to even update blog.

Finally, here I am. Presenting to you.. 11th of April, which we named it 0411 ~ easier to memorise.
He loves singing.. So, he suggested this. And, it was the first time I sing a whole song too! Awesome..
We went to The Curve's Red Box and then, proceeded with dinner time at The Apartment. This is a very nice restaurant equipped with the home-living lifestyles ambience. This is a great place for gangs of friends, families as well as couples.. all-in-one. But, I'd choose to go there once in a while because the food is quite expensive.. I dare not splurge so often on food..

Oh ya.. he compiled a photo album for me... which consists of some of the photos we took together~ that was special as he designed it thru online and order this album thru a website before they mailed the album to him in hand... and I gave him a bag and a hand-made card....

There it was.. our anniversary.. C.H.E.R.I.S.H

give me some time..

2009-04-12T23:53:00.002+08:00

I will update as soon as I've done with my things ya..
yesterday just celebrated 2nd anniversary.. so happy with the eating and singing-k session with Raymond after so busy with the final week..
Although the final week has ended, but I still have my final presentation tmr..
After that, I will be paying full attention for doing revision for my finals..
Bless me with good health.. =)

No assignments. No browsing for infos. No more staring at laptop for hours.

Let me have these, TEMPORARILY.

I want to watch TV. I want to lie down and read magazines.

I want to have girls' talk with mum and sis.

I want to chat with dad.

That is all I wished to have.

Back at home....

happiness

2009-04-02T22:03:00.004+08:00

Despite the hectic schedule with the remaining assignments, it is always something that is worth to feel happy for.

As usual, everyday me & Raymond will meet up for dinner together. It is always a blessing to have dinner with him and to update daily news in each other's life. And surprisingly, he messaged me and asked me to dress nicer because he's gonna treat me for dinner!

Not just a simple dinner.. but, we went to Sunway's T.G.I.Friday's. It was my second time in TGIF and I was so excited as this is suggested by him. It's also his second time there. (due to the very pricy menu, we never been there together, our first times were with our company colleagues)

There is the ultimate reason why he wanna treat me. Haha.. Of coz because he has extra money.. LoL. It's because of tiny increment in salary and it's worth celebrating for. It was really a happy day for me and we managed to shop for a while before we left.

destiny

2009-04-01T08:42:00.004+08:00

Finally I managed to capture a photo with HanDong, the Korean guy.
He was so passionate and anxious to take out his camera after we ended the second last class yesterday. After snapping some photos, we chatted for a while as the class ended earlier.

HanDong is a very nice guy. He likes to say Thank You and is very grateful for our help towards him all this while. He will greet us, Have a nice day! at times *so sweet of him* I guess, that will really make me think - Koreans are friendly persons. Well, he kept saying that we took care of him and he feel that Malaysians are nice and helpful people! * i guess that is because of our friendliness and willingness to assist him*
He's gonna go back to Korea in just 2 weeks' time, 17th April. And even mentioned, he will gonna miss Malaysia a lot.

*sob* I will miss him a lot too..
He kept repeating:
"Come to Korea and find me. I wanna repay to you because you helped me when I'm in Malaysia. In Malaysia, I can't do anything for you, because I'm not very familiar with here...."
"If Korea, you can stay at my house...." "Must come to Korea..."

I told him that I will go one day when I managed to get a job and save enough money.
He's going to enter the military service in Korea from next year. Will lasts for 2 years. (And I also found out that 60 years ago, the service required 3 years' period. Now shorten to 2 years. They are not allowed to go home unless for any holiday, will back home only for 2-3 days.)

I'm gonna miss him. Although it's just a very short time for us to know each other......

relieved !

2009-03-30T23:26:00.003+08:00

Finally..... I've ended this tough & challenging presentation in front of the crowd.
Phew... it's all over! Yippie!

But, still have few more assignments to rush before it enters the final week - which is next week!
God Bless Me!
Well... after few weeks of struggle. We finally made it. We managed to run the presentation so smoothly. 3 groups in a consortium which is in charge to manage the hole flow of the 2 hours' lecture. Despite the not-so-smooth rehearsal on Saturday, it never beat us down.
Thanks to everyone who have contributed.
And.. sad to say.. during the process.. of course there were unhappy ones. Especially we have come to see a lot of different people with different attitudes. That is where we can learn and experience before we enter into real workforce and work in teams.

Well.. but somehow I was a bit angry earlier. Not bcoz of this presentation thingy.
But I simply don't like and don't have much preferences when I meet with someone who is so stingy, selfish and self-centred at times. Perhaps this he/she was thinking had done something that was considered a small contribution but that doesn't mean it is well-done.
What I mean here.. He/She may think he/she had done something great because of a little contribution. And as for the others, will leave to other people to play their parts. A person who loves to obviously prove that he/she had played his/her part and eventually think that it is something proud of/complimented of. I don't think so...

I do really despise such attitude. It spoilt my mood too!
However, just wanna say.. there are all sorts of people in this world~
For me, sometimes generosity comes from the hearts. Not from purely contributing and does not emphasize it in their minds..

Biz Nite 08/09

2009-03-29T22:23:00.002+08:00

It’s really a week full of happenings for me again. I was so busy with test and presentation yesterday morning.. Rushing here and there.. And rehearsal in the afternoon. I thought I could not hang on anymore. Because at night, I will be attending Biz Nite 08/09. Wow!!

Eventful day.. Even though Saturday should be a relaxing one. Thou, I was so glad and happy that only until final year I’m able to attend Biz Nite for the first and last time. However, my roommates did not attend due to some financial reason. Therefore, I joined along my other coursemates for the night. We were able to snap lots of photos and plus some -shok sendiri- photos, too! NICE~~~

Because of this, I was unable to join in the Earth Hour. How I wished I could be involved. However, it's alrite.

These are the photos..

Tomorrow will be having another presentation again!.. Scary.. this time I have to talk in front of a large crowd in lecture hall.. Only me and another Indian will represent our group to present a business proposal. Hopefully, everything runs REAL smooth tomorrow.

Till then......

a story

2009-03-27T21:43:00.002+08:00

How would you react?

One day.........
X: You look quite ugly leh. Especially with this kind of hairstyle.
Y: Really? Sigh. No choice. What's done cant be undone.

After a few days.......
X: I really cant bear with your weird hairdo. You really look ugly la.
Y: What can I do?? *mumbling inside- sad, please, give me some face*

Several days passed.... They meet again.........
X: I really think that you look so dull, plain and unattractive la...
Y: This lady can't bear anymore. She just kept to herself.. She's down. With the hope,
she could transform to a beautiful lady one day.

This is a story which I heard it from a friend. I found it so saddening. I really feel sad for the girl -Y. What can she do?
We can't blame her for anything. Looks are inborn. We can't even directly commented on a person's look. We should be respectful.

moods

2009-03-26T22:12:00.005+08:00

The reason for uploading such photo depicts my motive of writing something. The sky can change its colours according to time. And so are humans.
Humans are such incredible creatures on earth apart from other living things namely the flora & fauna.
Here comes my question:
WHY DO SOME HUMANS LOVE TO CHANGE THEIR MOODS SO RAPIDLY?
I do not really comprehend such attitude. When someone looks so charming externally and has a good heart, but with its IMPATIENT personality or ever-changing mood, will it deter you from getting close to him/her?
If he/she is a person that is your close peer, would you think it's something so irritating?
Somehow, I do understand that humans have feelings.
We cannot simply judge them based on their ever-changing mood.
I'm just sharing something which I think that is so common in our everyday life.
Perhaps, being considerate to others will better comfort us from hating them.

Although I've fallen sick. But, I managed to get myself involved into the recent happenings in First Residential College. And thank God for blessing me with better health today. I've somehow been fully recovered from flu and cough. So glad!

Yesterday night we went to PJ SS2 Wong Kok for a short gathering a.k.a reunion for NST-ASCI committee members 07/08. So nice to be able to hang out together again, which is the final one before I graduate. It made me to recall the beautiful memories when we spent most of the time together working towards the same goal – a smooth Scrabble tournament. I was the leader for the second batch. And now, it almost passes on to the fourth batch. How time flies!

This evening, we had a short 3-hours study trip to a nearby television station. The local and oldest, RTM. So glad to be there, learning news things as well as to grab some on-hand experience. FYI, the purpose of this trip is because we are taking Integrated Marketing Communications this semester. The lecturer wanted us to be exposed to how a television station runs in their daily tasks. So, we had the experience to see their stage, how their radio station operates and other facilities that they depend on everyday. It was a superb trip. We the business gals were so excited and snapped lots of photos. I loved the scenery surrounding RTM!

At night, I had joined Raymond and some friends to our DTC –main hall, to support our college’s Choir team. It’s the Choir competition today! Every year, UM will organize the Festival Seni, which include many types of arts and creativity shows when different colleges compete with one another in this nearly one-month long. Everyday will have different type of dances/singing competing with each other. *tarian cina, tarian

the KOREANS

2009-03-24T23:01:00.006+08:00

Wanted to write bout this cute Korean guy weeks ago.. since the first day he attended the same class with me.

Basically, there are 2 Koreans. He and his friend, both from Korean Hallym University enter University of Malaya based on the students' exchange programme. They look cute! Wish to get to know more about them but they're simply too far away from our seats in class. Thus, no chance to chat with them at all.
However, maybe it's predestined. Finally, I got to chat a little bit with one of them today! His name is HanDong Rue.

Due to the assignment thingy, we managed to interact a bit as well as to ask each other some questions. Actually, they are facing a big barrier everytime they attend class. Of course, language used is English. But, they are having difficulty in interpreting and comprehending every sentence whenever the lecturer speaks and also, when we communicate with them. Whenever there is this chance, they would stay back after class for a short while just to ask the lecturer for which they find it tough to understand some of the parts.

I embraced and admired their courage to adapt to such an environment. Some Koreans are not that fluent in English speaking too, fyi. Therefore, I'd be very willing to help them if they need any. HanDong gave each of our group members a namecard. He specially printed it which contains his personality, the friendliness and also his contact number. It's awesome!

I'm wondering. Why some of the classmates don't really like to talk to him?
Perhaps they find it troublesome, with the extra need of speaking words by words and the additional attention paid to them because them have quite a lot of queries.
I don't find it cumbersome at all. That's strange.

To me, I always think that if the foreign students need any help.. we as the local representatives, must be able to assist them. That is how we show respects and care for them as they are so far away from home.

Fyi, I'm going to lose my voice very soon. Sigh.. Presentation and test are at this Saturday and another presentation in the coming Monday.

GO AWAY!

These are the weeks that create havoc in Uni students' lives.
Read many of my friends' blogs..
A lot complained about the hectic lives they are facing..
Severely causing them to lose the word - FREEDOM.
So do I..
But right now.. apart from being submerged by assignments, events etc.
I'm down with serious flu..
I never had such a critical one before.
Just imagine, the water keep running down from the nostrils..
Thus making me so busy with the hands grabbing the tissue and wiping them off
AND at the same time, needing to press on the laptop, typing and completing my assignments. i'm running out of tissue very soon!
How I wish I'm off from this bacteria!
As the coming week is full of things to do..
Between busy-ness & sickness.. I choose to be BUSY.

yesterday..

2009-03-19T22:51:00.004+08:00

Yesterday was nice!
We went and sang K’ at Red Box, Plaza Lowyat. With few juniors and seniors as well. Surprisingly, we started at 3pm and ended at 9pm! That was the first K’ marathon I’ve ever had.. Phew~
But I really managed to release some stress.. although most of the times, I was sitting there and enjoying the songs.. Haha..

Before enjoying the photos taken in Red Box, I wanna share a story with you.
We took a taxi from UM. But the taxi driver had earlier told us that he will charge an additional RM2 as it was lunchtime, and the area was claimed to be very congested. And, so we agreed to him. Thinking he was quite honest at first.

During the journey, he drove into another road which in turns making a large round into highway that was so unfamiliar from where we used to see. Into tunnel and things like that. Which we believed he surely had tricked us! We realized it even better when he once asked us where we are from. All of us either from the south or north. No one is from KL. That proved to him even clearer that he guessed we’re not locals. We do not know the ways.

When we have almost reached, we decided to dare him of his untrustworthy attitude. We exclaimed that our friends taking another taxi had reached far earlier than us. Furthermore, we said they had taken the short route and no idea why did he drove such a big circle to reach times square. He kept standing firm on his feet, saying the road was jam and surely will take much of our time to reach a place. And kept saying, mana pun jam.. *gosh*

Finally we had reached. The metre shown it was RM15.30. Yeap, plus a RM2, total would be RM17.30. But he said he charged RM18.30! An additional RM1 because 4 person in the vehicle. It is obvious, he was really trying to charge us more!
But our boy friend sitting at the front gave him RM17. He insisted that the driver to accept the money because we’re right in doing so.

Driver did not let it off. He kept insisting that we should pay RM18. In the end, our boy friend stepped out from the taxi and asked us to enter the mall, ignoring the driver. Under the circumstances, me and mingLi was fearing that the driver would chase us and ask for money. Eventually, both of us ran so fast to get away from the scene. However, xiaorong and the guy were so calm and steady. Really aweful.. especially when we found out our friends in another taxi only need to pay RM8 something to reach the same place!!!

At 9 something, we were so alert when we choose the right taxi. We wish to avoid being cheated. When we reached UM, the total is just RM9.70.And he did not charge us additional for 4 person in a car.
Malaysia… such an uncivilized country.. *sigh*

We reached hostel at 9 something and I headed for a second round with few friends. Walked to the nearest mamak stall for a drink. And all ended at 1 something, when I got back to room.

It was tired. But I had so much fun, despite heavy assignments waiting for me...

how come?

2009-03-18T09:53:00.005+08:00

What does ADMIRATION means?
What is LIKINGS?
How does these both differ from one another?
Simple words, yet so tough to comprehend..

Don't let these conquer, suppress the original feelings and place where I supposed to be...

thoughts of the day-

2009-03-16T10:03:00.003+08:00

Three days at home..
I just wanna use one word to describe my feelings - MARVELLOUS!
Our whole family went out for dinner two days consecutively.
Dad would try to knock off earlier than he used to be.
Granny cooked nice meals for me.
Mum always peep into our room, wanting to enter and have girls' talk.
I truly enjoyed the times spent together.
I love them. I cherish it very much.
Although I just came back yesterday, but I feel like heading home again this weekend.
I begin to miss them..
The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

Finally.. I'm back in Kluang..
Gonna utilize this time to update my blog..~
I will start from the most recent..

12th March 2009
Happy Birthday to JooTin!!!

I know I’m a bit late in my blog. But, I wasn’t late in sms-ing you my best wishes.. Hope you really had a nice celebration! Very weird thou.. coz jt fon me in the afternoon and chatted for some while. *should be me calling her to wish her h.birthday* Then, when I was in the bus almost reaching Kluang, we chatted again in the phone too. JT! I regretted for not telling you I'm back in Kluang.. *sob*

11th March 2009
Wow.. This is the date that marks the end of guardian Paddington bear redemption. And, that was the day when I asked my sis for help, to help me to redeem this lil’ cute bear.. The one I love so much..
And here it is.. the bear with the yellow raincoat!!

At night, I joined along my friends for the UM’s varsity Christian fellowship (PKVUM) event at KPS. They had a short but interesting stage drama called Fragments, as a way for celebrating Easter Day at the same time. True to say, I simply love the way they produce such a nice and meaningful drama, a way to inspire us, to remind us the significance of love, care and relationship on earth. The word ‘fragments’ was the broken pieces of a gal’s memory. She was hurt and lying unconsciously and during her long sleep, there is this ‘conscience’ who had helped her to gain her memories and struggled to wake her up. All through the way that ‘conscience’ who had stayed by her side, she managed to fix up all the puzzles and regained her consciousness. The drama needed us to gear our brain and figured out what the hidden meaning was. Overall, I enjoyed the story that shaped my thoughts. The short article about “Fragments” appeared in The Star newspaper last Friday.

10 March 2009
Sis and parents went to Jaybee for the prize giving ceremony, as she scored string of A’s in her STPM. Was really glad and happy for her. She deserved the award!
The news broke out early last Friday. When she received a phone call from her teacher regarding the results. And at the same time, wanting her to prepare to go to Jaybee for the prize giving ceremony.
That was and is a real GOOD news for our family. Thank God for blessing us.

8th March 2009
I bought Changeling’s dvd and watched it with Raymond during that weekend. I really wanna say it out aloud “It is a marvelous movie!” I simply love true story drama or movies. I love to watch and learn about morale values and how humans lead their lives under different circumstances.

7th March 2009
It was MPA II. We had a blasting event and sumptuous college dinner at this 5-star hotel, Crowne Plaza Mutiara. The dinner marked the endings of all the activities and events in First Residential College. And sad to say, it is also the last event in my campus life.
Quite sad whenever I think of this. Really can’t bear to part with this lovely hostel, adorable friends and colourful Uni life.
I was really overjoyed especially when I managed to capture lots of nice photos with my hostel-mates. These photos are meant for remembrance.. as I will never have the chance to attend such function anymore, unless I’m invited to. =)

4th March 2009
MPA I was held in our own residential college. This is the part one of the event. There are 2 parts of this event because there are really a lot of prizes and awards to recognize and present to the students who had done a lot for the hostel. This is a way to show gratitude to them.
I didn’t took much photos.. and I haven’t collected all of ‘em from friends. This is the only one I have so far..

2009-03-11T09:47:00.003+08:00

I am really very BUSY like a bee!!
Sorry for not updating for long..
I will update very soon as I go back to Kluang tomorrow...
Stay tuned on the latest happenings and blasting events!!! *MPA1 & MPA2*

Last but no least, CONGRATS to my dear sis for scoring straight A's in STPM
Geee... so happy!!

2009-03-04T23:19:00.004+08:00

P-E-R-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N

It's not a boring day at all. I had just ended my busy day few minutes ago.
Just had a good bath and managed to open my laptop and blog about my day.
It's not a bad day after all..
Sometimes, the buzy-ness is somehow worth remembered..
Started class at 8am. Continuously until 2pm accompanied by a mid-term test.
And at the same time, got the marks for my last week's test. Quite happy with my scores!*wink*
After that, we halted at our fac's cafe for lunchtime. But, spending almost an hour waiting for my meal wasn't a favorable moment.
We had a short nap and at 7.30pm, we went down to attend MPA 1. It's an annual hostel dinner part 1. As the second part will be at the hotel.
Wow.. My day hasn't gone wasted. They are so colourfully painted.

So happy that hostel life could be amazingful memorable.
Will update some of the pics I took just now when I've compiled them from friends.

2009-03-01T23:49:00.003+08:00

I'm looking for a JOB!!!
That's what which crosses my mind each day when I open my eyes.. (since the last few days)

Is it driving me crazy?....

2009-02-28T16:40:00.003+08:00

And there is this news..
Finally... here it is
China approves food safety law - state media.
I happened to read this headline at the Yahoo! homepage.
It's nothing worth celebrating for. (personal opinion)
On my personality view, humans love find solutions only when they commit repeated mistakes.
"Prevention is better than cure".
How can this slogan always be in use? What is the objective of this?....

2009-02-26T23:51:00.007+08:00

Time is of the greatest essence in life, particularly when we're meeting diverged roads.

A choice needed to be verified and persistance is critically in need.

Life isn't all about fun.

Life is about achievements.

Life is about meeting self-objectives.

Time is running immensely fast.

Seemingly, making us lesser time to figure out what exactly we are aiming for.

Give me some guidance.

Some powerful advices are needed to sort out the conflicting thoughts.

Workforce environment and office politics begin arousing my minds.

The completely strange world that is so unfamiliar.

What really suits me?

Mailbox are bombarded by uncountable job vacancies from Jobstreet.

Not many attracts me.

Senses giving red lights to go for it.

When will it be green lights?

Looking forward, anxiously.

2009-02-25T22:10:00.005+08:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY DEAR SIS!!!!

HOPE YOU ENJOY SUCH A WONDERFUL DAY.. MAY ALL THE BEST ONES STAY WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE YEAR....

finally~~

2009-02-20T01:01:00.006+08:00

Was rather hectic due to loads of assignements to be done lately, plus the coming test next week. However, we managed to go for a short supper with few of our friends+seniors. I enjoyed the supper just now as it's the first time I've been to this shop specialised in selling fishball and fish noodle. It was such a superb and yummy supper... I'd like to thank Stephen senior for bringing us there..^^

Yesterday was the final of the inter-college basketball tournament. Our hostel had successfully won the champion after few consecutive days competing with other hostels. They finally managed to grab the first placing!! I was so ecstatic as it is the first time First Residential College's female basketaball team had gotten champion!
For the last few days, a bunch of our collegemates were the full-time supporters for the competition. I had followed the match for three days berturut-turut. All of the match were so impressive and proven to other colleges than First College has the abilities and expertise in this field.

I was so touched when they competed in the finals and fought so hard until the end to win the title. They had shown me the sportsmanship and never-give-up spirit. This is because the opponents were few years' champion in the past. They are very strong and experience players compared to ours. It was a really meaningful journey to our players...
Thank God for blessing our team. ^^

Have you ever bumped into such situation?

You wanted to give a lending hand (money/donation) but you were pulled back by one or some of your friends.

The reason given – THEY can actually survive if they find a proper job: no point asking and begging for food/money by the roadside.
This is a circumstance when they can rely themselves on their pair of hands and legs.

Question arises: How about the persons without hands and legs? How would we react upon seeing the handicapped begging us for some money? What about the elderly or kids?

I always have some queries regarding this. What to do? I'm in a dilemma.

I pity them. Regardless which beggars are approaching me. I wanted to help.

But the people surrounding me always discourage me from doing so.
No one wishes me to donate.

- '09
It was a splendid Valentine’s with Raymond.
First of all, our valentine celebration came unplanned. Everything went on unpredicted except to Ulu Yam.

The reason for not having any special meal at restaurants/cafes because it will cost him a bomb just for a single couple meal, which we had experienced last year at Itallianies. Thus, we do not want to waste so much money for food.

On 214, we went to Ulu Yam lake in the noontime. I came to know this place went I searched through the Net for some interesting places within Selangor.
We stopped the car by the lake, we sat under coconut trees and we ate some snacks and chatted for almost an hour. It was a nice scenery although it was quite hot that time. You will never realized that the lake was actually a water reservoir for the residents in Klang Valley. It is located about 30 minutes’ drive from KL city.

Then, we headed to the Ulu Yam’s town and searched for Lor Mee, which is a very famous food in the area. Finally, we happened to see a signboard with it written. So, we had our lunch there.

After that, I thought we will just head back to PJ. But little did I expect that Raymond will ask if we move on to Genting, just for a casual stroll at the cooling highland. The reason is that, it just took us almost 16 km to reach Genting from Ulu Yam.
So, why not? He said.
I replied, “but I’m wearing a singlet.”
I hesitated.
But I did not reject. Then, we followed the signboard and drove all the way up the hill to the Skyway – cable car. Such an adventurous outing..~

It was an incredible journey, as we were unsure if a Kancil could go up on a hilly road.
And there we were, at the Skyway. We bought the tics and hopped into the cable car. We reached Genting at around 4pm. We shopped and captured some photos before we went back around 6pm! LoL

After that, I asked him where shall we have our dinner. I never thought of anywhere to go. He suggested we go for a steamboat feast at Sunway. We reached the restaurant at around 8pm due to heavy traffic congestion, and we had to queue for another hour. As there were simply too many people waiting for their turn.

Finally, we finished our dinner at 11pm and there it was, our second Valentine’s Day.
And, Raymond got me a pair of pig-skin lining shoe with colourful cartoons imprinted and sewn on it! It was a unique one...~

Thanks Raymond for everything, for being with me almost 2 years....

~ LOVE is a wonderful thing!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S - the colours of my Uni life..

2009-02-13T13:33:00.004+08:00

Event: Chinese Community Annual Dinner 2009, First Residential College, UM

Location: PJ SS2, Tai Thong

Time: 7.30pm - 11.00pm

Yesterday's dinner marked the advanced full stop of our lives in Uni for 3-4 years of time.

Some course need 4 years' duration while us, such as Business Ad only requires 3 years' time to graduate.

It was a night full of sentimental feelings especially for us, who will be leaving Uni in just a glimpse. No other words could better describe our feelings besides - SAD. I just can't bear to part...

When it almost reached the end of our dinner, a video which concluded all the activities, trips and hanging-out photos for the last 3 years we stayed in this hostel was being played.. As the video went on, my tears came rolling down the cheeks and I was unable to control my emotions.

It was like a sudden flashback. My mind couldn't stop thinking about the past.

Years of friendship that builds up in this little hostel. The bond is so strong; we see each other almost everyday; we join activities and share ups and downs; we go for trips together; we are like a family. They're all so dearest to me.

This is not just a hostel. This is my second home.

The place that teaches me a lot; the meaning of life.

Truly, friends are gems that could not be replace by anything else.

Trip to Taiwan

2009-02-11T16:25:00.011+08:00

Travelling, holidaying or backpacking has now become a trend for most of the teens and working adults. The ultimate motives are to relax ourselves from the hustle-bustle of the congested town and also as a chance to experience different cultures of each place.

For me, this time around I travelled back to Taiwan again. Why again? I went there in 2006. And I chosed to be back there because my aunt was willing to bring us there once again. Once again to taste and experience the changing environment of the country after 3 years’ time.

To be true, I have vivid memories of most of the things and places I’ve went in Taiwan 3 years ago. My sis was like: urgh.. how can you forget those things? Air tics cost a bomb! LoL. That was roughly the way she exclaimed that time.

I love this country!!!
You will never know by looking at the photos until you really went and stay for a couple of days. Understand the culture, understand their morality and get to know how the country’s administration. I simply rate it as excellent, except for their politics.

Well, as a 23-year-old lady, back again in a familiar place, but I’ve brought back different opinions and perceptions regarding this country. I was not only enjoying their scenic views, but I acted as a person who would like to get to know more unobvious things about it.

I saw that it has really organized system. You will not see any dustbin by the roadsides with full of trash, without proper handling. NO NO NO. I don’t see any. In fact, they have systematically organized the way the residents throw their daily rubbish. I stayed at a flat in Tam Shui, Taipei. They will surely have announcement throughout the whole building as to inform them that its time to throw. No such thing as to throw whenever as you like. After throwing, they will sort out the recyclable items before the unused ones were sent to the dumps. The purpose is to ensure the locals to have a clean living place.

Moreover, I know environmental-friendly campaign is so widely organized and in own country, I have yet to see a very positive change. I know we are improving. I’m sure we can. But, Taiwan has now proceeding and transforming so fast that I, myself impress very much. One day, I and my sis went to a local chainstore, 7-eleven to buy some food. Well, after we had paid the money, the cashier asked if we need a plastic bag to carry the things. And so, we agreed. As we reached home, we glanced at the receipt, they charged us around few bucks in NT$ = RMcents. Without hesitation, I was thinking that only this store charged for the bag.

The next day, we went to a different shop. Once again, the same question about plastic bag popped up by the cashier. Once again, we bought the bag. This is a lesson. We should bring our own bag next time we wanna buy things. This is a knowledge and the lesson we ought to learn from others especially in overseas. Resources are now so limited and humans have to start planning for the future generations.

In addition, besides the concrete elements, there’s another story I’d like to share which I really find it so contrasting between people overseas and in our own country. How many THANKS you have blurted out from your mouth whenever you’re in public areas? Taiwanese have taught me a very nice lesson again. They are never that petty in offering gratitudes to others/strangers. For example, there was couple of times when we took public buses to an area. Although the people was silent while they’re in the bus, but it is actually a very warmth silence. WHY? Their passengers would definitely said a “XIE XIE = Thank You” when they alight from the bus. Why don’t we have this tradition? They deserve our compliments. And I think I should follow this good example of them. No such thing as shy. Wherever I go, I always hear this word coming out from their mouths. Isn’t it very warm?

These are some of the meaningful stories I’d like to tell despite just mentioning the nice places and spectacular photos I’ve taken. The photos will tell the other parts of the trip.. ^^

Splendid journey.. Meaningful lessons..

2009-02-01T20:10:00.002+08:00

CNY is over.

Although, everything is back to normal.

But, our remain the same.

I will be absent from blog for a week's time.

Take care, friends!!

See you gals during any of the breaks or holidays.

CNY'09

2009-01-31T18:32:00.010+08:00

At last.. I have the opportunity to sit down, on the laptop and start to blog about my whole week of CNY events.
I am not sure why. I'm feeling rather perspiring and tiring for this year's CNY blastful celebration. My time was so packed until I truly feel that I have less energy to accommodate myself with too many activities at a time. I believe I'm getting older and older.....
Well. My daily schedules went like this.

1st day of CNY09
As usual, my house will become into a night market, crammed with lots of relatives and faraway kins too! The situation was like this; dad has to add extra 2 table fans, youngsters had to sit on the staircase, too noisy until we can't hear what's on the TV.. It was quite terrible on that morning. It was quite different this year. We had a short and small gathering with friends. Friends whom we do not see so often. It was a very soothing night, with the CNY ambience surrounding us...

2nd day
Off we went to grandma’s house in Seremban. It is a usual CNY trip for us every year. We reached there almost in the evening as we started to drive a bit late this year. And it’s a norm, grandma cooked a lot of sumptuous dishes for us! We ate until we can feel our stomachs bloated.. =)
But I’m feeling so happy to be able to eat grandma’s dishes… They were delicious!!

rs and our little cousin...

3rd day

We came back to Kluang in the evening. It was almost 7 something when we reached. I and my sis planned to have McD’s prosperity burgers as our dinner. And dad agreed. After we bathed, off we sped to McD in town and bought the burgers so that we can eat at home along with the chatting and watching tv..

4th day
Raymond reached my house in the afternoon. This year he said must buy a hamper for my parents. I told him not to waste money. So he wrapped one himself! So cute of him.. So he ate granny’s home-cooked dishes as lunch. At night, he joined me and friends for our dinner a.k.a gathering. A lot of long-lost friends attended the gathering and I was feeling quite excited that time.. We had 3 rounds of gathering. First, during dinner. Secondly, we went to –Wu Er Bu Zuo-. Third, we went to Kak Esah mamak stall. These are some of the photos snapped during that day. ^^

5th day
Our whole family went to Kluang RailCoffee for our breakfast around 9am. We spent for about an hour there. A total of 8 people and dad looked very happy that day. He wore the new CNY shirt I bought for him. Yippie!!
I went to Raymond’s house in the afternoon. It’s a tradition that I go ‘bai nian’ with his parents~ This is a picture of his family on day1.

6th day
I am back in Kluang in the afternoon!! It’s the first time I rode a train from Segamat. I do no want to trouble Raymond for driving me back to Kluang and rush back to Segamat on the same day. It was tiring for him. So, I chosed to take a train. It was just around 1 and 15 minutes ride.. It’s quite a short journey..
Chinese New Year 2009 – Loads of fun. Full of memories.

what a day!!

2009-01-22T16:14:00.005+08:00

Poor Raymond.
It's such an unfortunate day for him.
Some bad thieves broke into his car and stole quite a few things.
(his 2 new pairs of shoes, 3 pairs of sunglasses, 2 ambi purs, 1 pair of key and all the receipts and letters!)
Although it sounded still quite okay as the car wasn't badly scratched, but we feel puzzling about the stolen receipts. At first was quite panicking as something crossed our minds that maybe the thief wanted to know the home address and take opportunity to enter it someday.
But sooner after that, Raymond said perhaps the thieves wanted to save time by sweeping all the stuffs into bags without pondering what are they.
I agree to that, sounds quite reasonable.
Hopefully, our intuition is correct and the week during CNY, his house in Desa Petaling will be safe and sound. Praying hard...
Besides his car, there are also other 5 Kancils in the same areas were of the same condition. My coursemate's car happened to be one of 'em. Her textbooks and CNY things were all gone. Poor her~
Guys and gals, Kancil is so vulnerable these days. Don't leave any precious belongings in cars are much safer to avoid incurring heavy losses.

2009-01-21T21:06:00.002+08:00

HAPPIE BIRTHDAY TO SHAN NA NA NA~~
HAPPIE BIRTHDAY TO THIS ADORABLE FRIEND OF MINE.
Thanks for being such a good friend all long these years.
Thanks for being the one so considerate all the time.
It's SOOOO great for having you!!!
May all the good things stay with you in this brand new year!!!

headache..

2009-01-19T23:12:00.004+08:00

It's always easier said than done!
I am in a DILEMMA right now. *sob*
I have no idea on how to make the correct decision now.
The are 3 very urgent and important things needed to be done during CNY.
I have no idea how to arrange and allocate my time.
1) Bai Nian with friends 28th (it is a must for annual gathering with hometown friends)
2) Visit Raymond's parents 28th & 29th (as I've promised aunt and uncle I'll be there)
3) Attend Scrabble tournament on 29th & 30th (juniors need my consultant that day)
These are the 3 most important things to do during CNY.
CNY ought to be a relaxing break.
Hopefully, I can come out with a solution which I can be able to do 'em all and let everyone feel my sincerity.

i miss 'em

2009-01-19T17:17:00.010+08:00

Juniors have been looking up for me during the past few weeks' time. I'm now the advisor for them during this year's Scrabble event. They are the ones who will be the committee members holding the responsibilities and authorities for it this time.
Been talking and chatting with them. They have been updating what they had done the past weeks, but I could not be able to see the concrete things they ought to have completed by this week. The reason is that this event will be held on 29th and 30th of Feb, which means they only have 1 more week to get them settled and get ready for the tournament.
I'm feeling bits of worries for them. Lots of things needed to be done such as printing of tees, banners, scrabble sets, booklets etc.I'm indeed anxious~
Looking back to last year, which it was directed by me and a team of fun and friendly members; I wished to say out aloud - I missed all the times we had buried ourselves with loads of works and how we managed to complete every single problem. I truly miss it, although that was the time when we were so busy like hell. I still keep some photos with me. I couldn't bear to delete them as these were the memories for us, the best days we share ups and downs.

back to Wednesday..

2009-01-15T12:34:00.004+08:00

We were so excited discussing an advertising plan for one of our business subjects, with all the funny and hillarious tv and print medias ads, when mingLi's boyfriend asked us whether we would like to go for a stroll at Cheras pasar malam.
I was quite agree with it and off we went to that night market around 9 something. I was quite excited actually as it was so long since I went there.
5 of us walked along in the crowded street, and we walked in real slow motion as it was really CROWDED with youngsters. It was the first time for 3 of them and so, they needed more time than us when they glanced at each stall, looking at the unique food and stuffs as well.
A friend bought the fried potatoes in a string and we ate and chatted as we sandwiched with others along the street. They even bought the snow-like ice in bowl, which I forgotten the name. It was special, though.
Me and my roommates managed to buy shorts, planning to wear them in our room.
When we were almost reaching the last phase of the night market, there came the rain. It was light, but we decided to head back to get the car around 12am.
It is our first experience going to Cheras pasar malam, sad to say, it is also most probably the last time to hang out at night market in Cheras. Hehe..
Hopefully, we still have the chance to go there again.
P/S: I'm kinda slow in updating my blog due to the weak wi-fi connection in hostel. So sad.. I will try hard to update whenever I manage to connect to the line successfully.
ShanNa: I was hoping to bump into u yesterday. Haha..

I attended a class on Tuesday, which the subject is called Communication for Employment Purposes. From this, we can roughly know that this subject teaches us how to smoothly search for jobs and which qualification comes more important than other criteria.
So, basically the lecturer taught us about self-assessment. This is to identify what personal attributes we have as in self-evaluation or better known as self-discovery. It is a fun subject, though. The topic needs us to find out our values, interests and goals etc.
They are relevant in seeking for suitable jobs in future.
Somehow, that still has not answer some questions about myself. I still have doubts as to what kind of individual I am.
Here are some of the questions brought into discussion earlier;
i) What strengths do you have?
ii) What do you expect to be in 10 years’ time?
iii) Which areas do you think you need improvement?
iv) Which field do you seek in jobs? (indoor, outdoor, service, office)
There are a lot more. I’m sure most of us are unsure which direction we truly wanna be in future. And I am sure the field we desire sometimes does not really be it in the future.

Well, as for me, I’m in a blurry situation where I still do not know what I want. So saddening, isn’t it? I guess there is a need that I should do more self-evaluation to realize which job suits me the most. If I’m given a chance, I would rather continue to study or perhaps go overseas and explore new stuffs rather than to stick to the permanent job after graduation.

So happy!!! So excited!!
I FINALLY can log into FACEBOOK!!!
I have been waiting for so long, praying hard, hoping that the wi-fi in hostel can ragain its 'consciousness' and enable me to log into my favourite webpage including blogspot.com.
It had been a tough time for me as whenever I tried to update my blog, the line turned weak.
Hopefully it won't be the same anymore, as the wi-fi gives me hope in this lovely morning!
Oh ya.. what I did the last weekend?
I watched movie AGAIN!! Besides the YES MAN! which I watched with my friends, a total of 11 of us who complimented it as a NICE one. Then, I and Raymond went for 'Cape No.7' a day after. And it turned out to be a simple+comedian+sentimental movie.
Guys, get the chance and watch it. I love the ideas of the movie. *keep it mum* Find out yourself!
I bought kinda lots of clothes on that Saturday. Well, all at RM25 each, which are sold at shops at Sg.Wang. Normally, I dislike going to that crowded shopping mall. But this time is exceptional. I have a special mission to do. *wink* LoL. *Shall tell you when I have the chance*

Let's relax just for this week, I told myself.
The assignments and presentations will not start so soon.
By the weeks after CNY, we will be bombarded by lots of things to do.
I watched dvds and dramas whenever I'm free every night.
I truly loved these days. Because everything will start to transform after we graduated.

No longer the free-er person we can think of.
No longer the same schdules which we can take a nap in the evening when we feel like to.
No longer the ones who have the energy to go out for supper as often as we can.
No longer the person called student.
I will definitely cherish the days we spent in the college or at the faculty.
This is how I feel these few days.
Looking forward to go for movies with friends today, in addition to a short video shooting at MV.
