So far so good

Life is kinda okay now... Thank God, friends at here are friendly and helpful and that make me no longer a worry wart now, I don't have to worry how am I going to live at here for the rest of 18 months.

Yes! I finally can take the bus back and forth between Subang and Sunway alone without any mistake and I made it for two days. My sense of direction is so weak that make me lost in Sunway for two times. I mistakenly got off the bus at wrong bus stop, and didn't know which way to take to go home and I ended up calling my uncle came and fetched me.

I'm doing fine here. Don't worry about me especially mommy and daddy.

I need to finish all the lecturer's notes today so that I wont be leaving behind the class. My classmates are so diligent, they finish a chapter before the teacher starts teaching. I'm not going to sleep if I don't finish my chemistry today. Buck up!

Is she a good person?

FUuuuhhhh, I have cleaned my room at last! The room, my temporary room is more clean than few hours ago. Layers of dust by years mark made me itchy. I can say that cleaning is a bit like a toil, but is worth it because I can breathe in the fresh air now. Damn miss my home, it is warmer and it is cleaner. I really feel impress and appreciate my mom for able to do the house chores so perfectly.

Let's talk about college, I just had my first lesson today. It really got me on nerves that the  lecturer failed to enter the class on time successfully. In fact, the lecturer that supposed to be teaching us never enter the class. We were then told by them that they had put another lecturer in charge of our class. =.= He didn't teach anything because he didn't prepare anything in short notice.=.= 

I feel really lonely in the midst of Subang. Yee Ling, I really need you badly. There are some friends I just made are nice but I do feel it is very hard to get along with them. I even started feeling scary to somebody, you never really know a person unless you spend times with him/her. And now, I feel that I have no one talk to. Lord, please be with me so that I wont feel alone.

And now I have to get back to business, bye.

You Bet Your Life- it is not easy as it used to be

Time rushes past and now we have approached to month of July of 2010. My life in college is starting as well.

You know what, I miss my busy life so much, I have been sort of lazing around  for 6 months and 19 days despite my part time job in January and February.

Well, I just went to Inti today to finish some enrollment procedures. Oh, I got my time table which is giving me a big headache! There are some days which  I'm really free whilst the others are really packed. I expected to finish the class early on Friday so that I can go back to hometown at noon or latest in the afternoon but my plan didn't turn out to be successful now. What I didn't expect is I will have 6 periods of classes in a row and then continue another one period after an hour. Shoot! How nice if I'm staying near to the college, at least I take a nap when I'm tired.

I think I'm going to get sick soon. I didn't feeling so well since this morning. It always happen when I change to new environment, change school, and when I started working. Perhaps I'm sick of the place, the food, the people there ( but I believe there are good people there.)

The orientation today, urm... basically it was an introduction to the college and bringing the freshmen on a campus tour, that's why it called orientation. =.= No ice-breaking or other activities where we were in school. Oh, I miss it so much! The orientation would be boring if stupid Brian didn't make those stupid jokes, oh did I say him stupid... Oops, sorry. I get used to it, using stupid instead of cute or funny in some cases but sometimes I really mean it. Oklah, I admit that he really has great sense of humour. Oh, It nearly slips my mind, there are about hundred of students in CALUK July intake, all of them are Malaysians, no African, no Chinese from China, no Bangladesh, no Japanese, no Korean which lead to little disappointment, haha... anyway I'm go there to meet Korean guy so it's alright.

There's a lot grievances and complaints in my mind now:

A lot of house rules I need to follow.

I don't want to walk a long way under a hot sun.

I really don't know how to take bus in that area.

I'm so shy and afraid to go to church in Subang alone. Where are all the Christian friends? How can I get to the church? I don't prefer to walk a long way, it's a beautiful Sunday dear.

The list will continue to go on...

I LOVE MY COUNTRY BUT THE COUNTRY DOESN'T SEEM TO LOVE ME

I'm truly upset

About things that happen repeatedly year after year.

I have been one of them

To have this dispiriting, depressingly similar experience;

From hero, I become a zero.

Aloha

Very quietly I come back to here;
as quietly as I took my leave.

Just want to say...

THANK YOU

Lord, because I'm still alive!

THANK YOU

Daddy, Mommy and Popo

Da Vincci's Exhibition

The exhibition was over on the date of 17th January 2010 and I actually visited in National Science Center during last year with my daddy. Visitors were not allow to take photo but I still couldn't help myself to grab some pictures unnoticed by the others and I didn't see any CCTV. That's actually a lot but I will just post some of my favourite ones.

A clock that can tell you the hours, minutes, the position of sun, moon and star.

Double flute

And sorry about this, I forgot what the name of the creature... XD

Life is still going on

Well, it's to time update my blog. It'd been about a week since the last posting.It sounds an obligation to me now, not to leave my blog just like that. Actually, this is not my early intention to create a blog, it's not for others or any other things else, it's for me, for me... So what is my intention now?

Emerlyn, people will get a move on if you continue all these CRAPs.

Okay.

I just had my computer reformatted last week, I thought I could get it back after 2 or 3 days. But the technician told me I would have to wait for 4 days. Fine. After that, I didn't receive any call from them ( Chinese always like to say, no news is good news, and I would say that it should a bad news) so I decided to find them on Friday, the 7th day and I got my PC back on the 8th day at last. I thought the shop always has its efficiency all the time, but it seems not for now anymore.

It is already the third week I work and I'm still thinking to get out of here. There were some people saw me working in the shop and gave me a very BIG SURPRISE look. Yes, I'm my mother's daughter. Why would people have the thought that a teacher doesn't allow his/her child to have a part time job? My granddad and ganny were also, a headmaster and a teacher and they allowed their five children to go out to work after their GCE last time.

This coming Wednesday will be the fourth week I have my guitar lesson. Guys, tell me your favourite songs so that I can practice or even play for you. It will be my pleasure. :-D Learning guitar is not a hard nor harsh thing, just that you have to bear the pain in your finger tips for the first few weeks because you need to press the strings against the frets. Well I had experienced it when I played my sister's violin so it was not a problem to me since then.

Nothing special happen to me recently... Life is damn boring... I want to study so much... Really... Those who are studying, appreciate what you are doing now. Sometimes I would think that what would Da Vincci make up if he is put into a life which is a bad and sad situation like he can't do whatever he likes or even to chase his dream? What would also Vikhna ( the brilliant girl that I had ever met before the presence of Shekinah) or Ke Yang (the brainiac that got 13 A in his spm trial) do? What would you, who are reading this do? Life is still going on, nevertheless.

Back to school on last Monday to take my certificate. Met my former teachers, THEY TOLD US THEY MISS US, OUR BATCH, OUR CLASS. So do I. 

And this is from Ho's blog. Thumb up to his words.

'They said that they missed our batch a lot. Haha... Of course they do. I'm not acting arrogant but which class can really pick up and stand head to head compared to ours? We definitely have the ability to make peoples around us happy and remember us when we are separated. So guys and gals, give a clap to students from Form 5 2009!!"

A kind reminder to you, Ho: Be careful, later our juniors shoot you.

Our Mr. Seow has his new blog already! Gambateh to him!

Support our group - 1992 TM Babies in facebook. Ke Yang, the group creator said we can change the group name if we think it is not suitable. Ke Yang,  I had a goose bumps when I heard it for the first time, but now I already get used to it. :P Appreciate it, guys. Bring me up to date at there.

Days are lacking pace

So I worked for a week and still, I'm working now. Apparently it is only to fulfill my mom's wish, work, learn and gaining some exposures, she says. There is always a sickening thought inside me of escaping from the place where I am working now. Why not my parents just let me go to my dad's working place or work in my godfather's office? So that, at least, I can do my job in a air-conditioned place. I totally FEEL the global warming everyday now. 

I'm working, on average, six hours per day. So you guys might think that six hours aren't long period but for me, it seems a decade. Time is pacing very SLOWLY when you do something you don't like. Thank God, the boss didn't claim me to work longer than that. Well, he requested but I rejected or else I won't be blogging now, :-) Anyway, I'm going to quit it before CNY but I have a bone in my throat telling him because they are still short of workers.

Despite that, the level of my endurance and patience is getting higher and higher ever since working. :-D

The Sun Will Rise on Tomorrow

It was another night that I spent, lying awake in bed although I was exhausted. 

The urge is getting gradually stronger day by day.

Sigh.
Hoping there is a heavenly hand reaching out for me and pull me out from this whirlpool.

Without wings, I fall

It is something you need to climb as high as possible with all you effort to reach for the stars.

The Star Education Fair

I spent half of my day in KL yesterday as my friends and I participated in The Star Education Fair in KLCC Convention Center. The education fair was really a BIG one, bigger than the one I went in last year. Numerous local and foreign exhibitors were participating, occupying five exhibition halls at KL venue. We also had opportunity to attend career talks but if you went for the one which you was not interested in- like in the case that you was following your friends, it would definitely doze you off. It was the time we were in the  medicine & dentistry career talk, one of the lecturer / dentist who I forgot her name said this, ' We are not discriminating the left-handed ( we looked at Ho Yee Shen and started to laugh at him until the lecturer finished her words), but all the dental instruments were designed for right-handed so we will make our students - who is left-handed to use his right hand.' So he is determined to do pharmacy, not because of the joke of course, but the terms needed to finish the course.

As I said there were numerous exhibitors, so we were actually tiring of filling in all the enquiry forms, they were everywhere, some of the inquirers, probably the students from respective colleges or universities were forcing / begging you to fill up the forms, so we took pity on them and helped them. Despite that, the overall visit was good, we got to know a lot of information from the professors, lecturers, counsellors, graduated students or other representatives from the universities and colleges and you got to get a lot of brochures, pamphlets/leaflets and eco-friendly bags or whatever you call them which I don't have a proper place to put them in now. There were a lot of friendly representatives who were standing outside the booth asking you the course you keen on and brought you inside their booth and asked for a counsellor or lecturer for you. I'm really sorry because most of the time I didn't give a look to these people and walked away in the fastest speed I could due to time constraint. 

Sometimes, it was quite getting fed up to listen to something you had already known or something you had listened from other counsellors for so many times, so I would prefer to start with ' May I know what...' If you let them start first you would probably wasting your time for about 15 to 20 minutes. The first counsellor that I encountered was an American chiropractor, Prof Michael Thomas Haneline, a soft spoken gentleman. The name was not unfamiliar to me for I have came across many times in the websites or articles about chiropractic. In fact, I was a little bit EXCITED to see him in real person and he was just sitting beside me. OMG. Chiropractic would be my first choice for my further study after A-levels or STPM ( I do not want to do any foundation) if it's God's will. But if I could not make it mainly because of the fees needed is extremely too high ( my parents are still discussing on this matter), it is more expensive than that in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy or engineering, this will be the first and last time I talk about Chiropractic here and I would go for pharmacy or pharmaceutical chemistry.

Chiropractic is a branch of healthcare that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of bones and muscles of the body, especially involving the spine (my favourite, you may ask why? Untold reason.) and the effects of these conditions on the nervous system and health in general. Doctors of chiropractic (also referred to as chiropractors) commonly treat musculoskeletal symptoms, such as back pain, headaches, pain in the arms or legs, and many other conditions. Chiropractic offers patients a hand-in approach to healthcare that is drug-free, including examination, diagnosis and treatment. ( Resource: IMU)

What I looking forward to be trained is therapeutic, rehabilitative exercise and common clinical tests such as blood test and x-rays. A chiropractor do not prescribe drugs or perform surgery. The structure of the programme consists of four years of academic and clinical training, followed by one year housemanship. Much of the material is presented in stimulated clinical settings in order to provide real-life experience. ( And how! Students in Malaysia have had more than ten years of spoon-feeding education, not in future anymore, okay!)

For you information, the chiropractic degree programme will commence in this February within the medical faculty. IMU is the FIRST and ONLY institute offer this complete Chiropractic educational programme in Malaysia, as well as Southeast Asia. So you see, new, private, that's why it is expensive. If you wants to apply the IMU scholarship, they will first look into both of your parents' incomes and then your result, the combined income should not exceed RM50 000 per year or else you will be disqualified. Hello! There are very few family can survive with RM50 000 a year or less than that nowadays since the rising inflation especially for them who live in a city. Well, really hope that the fees can be dropped within this two years or money drops from somewhere up there in front of my house. Haha... Money VS Dream.

Reminder: If you want to work in Malaysia in the future, please always make sure that your college or university ( if it is a private one)  and the certificate are recognized by the government council/body such as MQA, MMC (medicine), MDC (dentistry) and etc NOT the one does not recognized or the one WILL BE recognized ( who knows the future?)


PS: Miss the Salmon Bento that I had in lunch! Yummy...


PS2: Nicholas Seow, the future-to-be architect is starting to do his study in Taylor today. All the BEST to him! He told that he is going to design a TMCC (derived from KLCC) in the future. What a joke!
