Another Tuesday

Well, another Tuesday it is, and this week the studies are here, which means assignments and loads of headaches are here as well. Goodness...

Japanese class was fine, but I find that the lecturer was a bit soft, and can't really hear her much. Her name is Toshiko Yamaguchi, very soft-spoken lecturer. Real Japanese, can really tell from her spoken english, that very foreign accent that is strongly attached to it. Lol... The language is a little tough, maybe because it is the beginning, so I hope that I will be able to get a better hold of it in the very near future in order to pass with flying colors. This is gonna be tough.

Not forgetting the wonderful subject - Pengajian Malaysia. It's not that it is tough, but when it comes to a lot of thinking and analysing, it is tough. But hope I will be able to do well as well, and hopefully be able to end it during this semester, Oh God!! Don't let me fail, I don't wanna repeat nor retake this subject any longer.

Now to the funny story. Joel sent me home today, and the traffic jam was MASSIVE!! We took a couple of alternative routes. While getting to the main road, Joel was like telling me he could see a very big Vitagen bottle on the road, and I asked him later where it was. Well, funny to say that both of us could not find the bottle anywhere, and I was starting o feel pretty funny. SO I teased him with a spontaneously made song

' The Vitagen bottle, was an illusion.... '

And I went on and on and on until Joel feel like killing me that instant. Lol.. and the air-cond went on and off. Two meddling hands I would say. Lol..

Anyway, now that I am the course-rep, guess I have a lot of work to do. Well, wish me luck and hope I will be able to be the good rep whom they elected.

That's all.

Happy

I finally got my results, and I now proudly announce that:

I GOT 4.0!!!

Finally, after the whole year, once in my life I get 4.0... Hahahaha... When I knew about it this morning, I was totally on cloud nine. That was like the best thing ever. And better still, can apply for scholarship!!!

Muahaha.. mum was very happy about it as well, and so we went to have dinner outside today.. Well, kinda long story in the shop we ate, will update about that some other time.

Haha... so, just to share the happiness.

Congratulate me then!!

Muahaha..joking.. well, i'm sure lotsa my friends did well too.

Congrats to all!!

Almost the end

Going to end soon.. Very very soon..

What am I talking about?? My holiday la!! So sad.. starting from next week, I will have to wake up early for classes. Goodness.. Throughout the whole holiday, I felt like a zombie. Not enough sleep, playing non-stop and sleeping lesser and lesser from time to time.

Whatever it is, the biggest worry for me now is my elective course.

We get to choose between Mandarin and Japanese language, and for Mandarin there are 3 different levels. I obviously want to choose Japanese, but I will have to fight for the place because it is only offered to 25 students in for each course. I only have to fight with Broadcasting students though, since advertising students are all in Kampar. (^^) BUt then, first-come-first-serve basis, not going to be simple. If I don't get Japanese, I will have to take Mandarin level 2, and I would rather take Mandarin level 1 ( for people who have no chinese basics, then I can score A for every exam and be the best !! Lol... Sly.. ).. Oh well, we will see how.

Talking about Mandarin, I tried writing some stuff in Mandarin these few days. For each and everytime I wrote in Mandarin, I will close my eyes and dump the piece of paper away. Wanna know why? Not because I don't know how to write or have no inspiration to write, but rather my handwriting ( for Mandarin only FYI ) is horrigible, terrigible and vegetable. It's cakar ayam ( chicken clawing .. what the.. lol ).. serious.. for 5 years I never wrote much in Mandarin, if I need to take Mandarin again, I bet I will be penalized for having the most hideous handwriting ever. So terrible. I have no problem typing though, since the characters are always so pretty and look so square and straight. (^^)

Guess I have to start practicing my writing now, just in case Japanese class is full. But everyone needs a strategy if they wanna survive. I cannot risk taking mandarin with hideous handwriting, although I doubt I can survive either in Japanese class, because languages are not easy to learn, and the exams might just make me go bonkers. NVM, I bet with loads of hardowrk, I will be able to get through.

So, my strategy to be able to get into Japanese class and be a proud student there is to have a special weapon, the ultimate weapon. What is that??

In my case, it is more like who is that?? haha.. MY FATHER!! OOsh... LOL!!

HOw can my father be my ultimate weapon to ensure that I will be able to be the first 25 students for that class?? Simple.. since my dad has a very flexible schedule of his own, and he is never in a rush to anywhere, I will just have my father carry the form and pass it to the office by 8.30am sharp!! Wahaha... while students who want to take the subject are still in class, my form is already in the Office.. Well, if nothing else goes wrong that is.. haha.. or else, well.. Mandarin, here I *reluctantly, hesitantly, mumblingly, angrily, disappointedly* come...

Haha... till now, everything in Uni is not going very well, but I do hope that things will get better in time. I am going to discipline myself to do my very very best and be a top student this time round. I believe that I can. Must have confidence. (^^)

Alright, gtg now... Take care peeps..

Nissan vs Murtabak Stall

Yesterday was the orientation.. Very boring, but still sat through.

Anyway, after the orientation, everybody being extremely tired and hoping to get home as soon as possible, Joel and I realised that there was a pasar malam ( night market ) where the car was parked. Lol... I immediately snapped, only to remember that every Tuesday that particular road is for pasar malam. So hoping and hoping that the car was no blocked, it eventually turned out to be blocked. And we can't do anything since the stall is a murtabak stall which has started its business and cooking.

What to do?? I had to call my dad to pick us up instead, and Joel will have to get his car later in the night. Haha... The power of Murtabak Stall that can stop a car! Whoosh...

Now we learnt our lesson, always know when there is pasar malam, we don't want history to repeat again, do we?? (^^)

Early in the Morning

Now is 6.41am Malaysia time. I'm in MAlaysia anyways.

What am I doing up so early?

Insomnia??

Nah...

Today is orientation day!! Today will be the first day I will meet with new people within my new course of study. The old are gone, and the new is going to come. I am kinda nervous, I would say, as it would be so different this time round, after spending a year with the same people in my foundation in science.

I wonder how are my friends doing in Kampar and Setapak? I am sure they will enjoy themselves in their new campus.

Waking up so early in the morning is such a struggle for me this time, because for 3 weeks I woke up around afternoon. Now to wake up at 6.15 am, that is ridiculous. Thank goodness I chose what I want to wear the night before, so I do not have to wake up earlier to find myself changing set by set, shirt by shirt, pants by pants, skirt by skirt. Whoosh.. though I still look funny, but at least, still presentable.

I wonder what color will my T-shirt be this time? No green please, got that before. Lol.. Hope some other nicer colors. And what kind fo file?? No pocket file please, maybe the same as the previous time. And I might be getting some problem when taking photos for the student ID. Aihz.. Forget about those... Thinking too much. Haha... Think of what to eat is better..

Old Town ?? It's been quite a long time since the last time I went there.. MAybe I can go today, hopefully my friend wanna join me. He's ma driver... haha.. (^^)

Anyway, just a simple update about what will be going on today, and well.. Hope I enjoy it!! Yawn...

Take care everyone... Peace..

Wassup??

Nothing, to be honest.

It's been a real boring for me, the fact that there is nothing much for me to do now. But lately, I bought myself a new book. Let me talk a little about it here.

Well, this book is about a TV host, here name is Lu Yu, a lady from China. If you have Astro, you will be able to view her talk show there. Her talk show is one of my favorite, other than Oprah Winfrey ( which happens to be her favorite too... cool! )

Anyway, the book was about her whole experience and how it all started for her to adopt a style very much like Oprah's and how it became a success. But what is most important around it was the perseverance and determination. I was reading it yesterday night, and I have this feeling of tremendous discomfort lying deep withing my heart, and I was asking myself why.

The basic reason was I do not know if one day I will be able to make it happen for myself. I am still in the midst of building my confidence to trust myself, and to tell myself that I am capable. well, I can never be perfect, but yet, I hope that one day I can make my own history and be the benchmark within my own industry that I lay my life in. Gonna stop about the book right here, cause the others are still on its way, still reading in other sense.

I finally got back my SE phone, after so many months. Gosh... But finally, and all thanks to my mum!! (^^) I gave my mum a sum of money and told her that she could buy anything she wanted, cause if I buy, probably it would not be the thing that she wants. So I gave her the money, and she ended up getting the phone back for me, and above all that, she actually chip in a sum in order to pay it off. So touched!! I love you mummy!! Well, I don't really say this, cause action speak louder than words. Muahaha... at night we went for a scrumptious dinner at the restaurant and laughed our heads off at home while watching a DVD.

老师嫁老大 ( Ah Long pt. ltd ) !!!

What else did I do during the hols??

Ahh... I watched the movies which I never got the chance to watch last year due to busyness. So I watched ' Secret ', and another one was ' Kung Fu dunk '..

Let's talk about ' Secret ' first.. This show depicts the story of a pair of lovers from music school. You might think that they are just normal lovers, but in actual fact, they are not. Haha... Hmm... think about it, should I tell you or should I not tell you.. Well, it's been so long ago, no problem telling. This story is a bit interesting in the fact that halfway through the show, it became a little bit like ghost story already. Haha... but the story evolves around 2 people who are from a different time falling in love with one another.. illogical?? Totally! And the illogical thing happened because the girl( who has asthma ) found a music score hidden below the old grand piano she was practicing on. And as she was playing the music on the old piano ( it only happens when you play it on the old piano in the old piano room ), she brought herself into the future and there she met the guy whom she fell in love with. But things got a little confusing around here and there and it drove me a bit nuts. Haha.. but I think, I repeat, I think, that the first person she sees will be the only person who can see her.Other than that, she is invisible. (^^) Interesting hah?? People thought she was crazy to be able to travel into the future and they thought she has mental illness, but eventually, the father of the young man knew the truth but it was too late. The young man who learnt the song from the girl went back to the old piano room ( it was being broken down at that time, they are replacing the block with a new one ), and played the song there while the machines are tearing down the building. Very very nervous that time. His father was running his way to get his son, but too late ....... !!!! The young man pressed the key for the last note and at that same time, the big metal ball ( the one which they use when they wanna bang the building and make it come crashing down... you know?? you know ??? ) came in and knocked everything away. But haha!! The young man is in the past liao, with the girl, and so you see his face in the old photos... COOL!! How I wish I can do that, but cheh.. last time TV black and white one.. not nice.. haha.. but the story went a bit fast, and a bit confusing at times. (^^) Can't tell you everything, because I am very long breath ( 长气 = chang qi = chiong hei ). Lol.. go and find the DVD and watch la.. haha... (^^) I particularly like the piano challenge part. Whoosh.. very nice..

Now, 'Kung Fu Dunk'. Quite an idiotic but nice show at the same time. Where on earth does basketball tournaments allow people to fight and kick and kung fu around one?? Only in this show... HAha... but it was quite a comedy, though not all the time. (^^) Hong Kong actors work together with Taiwan actors, very interesting. Suddenly Cantonese, suddenly Mandarin.. So weird.. Anyway, it talks about a young man who was abandoned since young near a basketball court, who has the best aim on earth.. So it means that he can shoot a basketball into the net each and everytime. ( don't sound right, but you know what I mean la ... ) How I wish I have that ability, then everytime throw rubbish or anything, no need to get up.. Haha.. And he becam a big star before he found out that he is the son of a rich man, very very rich man. (^^) haha. this one I can't tell much, cause you have to watch la.. If you want to, but the kung fu and basketball thing is so so... speechless.. Kungfu on a basketball court.. fantasy???? Haha...

Anyways, I watched these few shows, and laughed a few rounds, and played more than 1500 rounds of Freecell, with my eyes almost popping out like goldfish.. That's all I have been doing during the hols. Hehe... (^^) Meaningless?? yea...

Nothing much to write, have orientation next tuesday, and my friends are leaving to Kampar tomorrow. Sad...

Alright.. wrote too much, I shall stop now.. Tata..

琴声

隐藏了千年的恋爱弹奏曲
你一不小心地获在手里
你的手指尖慢慢地发挥它魔力
让历史重演在我们脑海里

那片已失传的故事让我们成了主角
去体会所有故事情节
过着同样的季节 爱情花香蔓延
这历史演起来有点特别

我在从前 你在未来
我们的爱情篇是否不会存在
穿越时间 琴普记载我们的爱情篇
旋律让我们在新的世纪相见

遗憾从前 珍惜现在
时间再也不会是我们的阻碍
旧琴上手指跳弹 琴声里相信将来
让我们的旋律有加上节拍

For the citizens of Sichuan

Guess we all know what happened in Sichuan.

An earthquake of 7.9 magnitude hit the province and now thousands are homeless and thousands are dead. Children turned orphans in just minutes and parents turned heartache to find that their children are gone. Natural, it was all natural.

We who live in Malaysia have been blessed constantly that none of these disasters happened to us, and the most that happened was just a tsunami that did not really hit us much. And yet we often complain of so many things and despised that thought of being contented. Very much like a sin I would say, very much.

People are aiding those in Sichuan, and interviewers went to interview these children, talk to them. Tears were streaming down the cheeks of those who were there to see the innocent losing love. They cried, and so will we.

But instead of sitting around and cry, let's try to find ways to help them. Even if you don't have riches, there is always one thing that you can give - a prayer.

Say a simple prayer and that will make a difference, even if you do not know.

Update ( unfinished )

Count the days, and it's been a long time since I last updated the blog. (^^)

Anyways, I really have nothing much to update about, so I shall just post some crap here. Haha.. not totally though..

Been spending quite some time trying to train the sensitivity of my ears, but still failed. Hahah... Trying to see how well I can catch the lyrics of singers who have problem with diction, and failed.. haha... don't talk about trying to catch music notes, impossible!! I can't even differentiate Do and Re.. hahah..... talk about me learning music.. forget about it.

Hahah... been so bored until I felt like plunging down from Twin Towers and get some excitement ( I am acrophobic ).. who knows I might get some inspiration of what to do during the hols. No work for the week, because studio manager is doing track mixing which has nothing to do with me. Haha.. (^^) so I have nothing to do. ~

Now I am doing a lot of thinking about my degree. I know I won't regret changing the course, but I am worried that I might not be able to cope and might have difficulty to adapt to the new environment. Science people and arts people do have differences which might make me feel awkward and weird when mixing around with them. Bet they will be comparing many things which might hit me rock-bottom and make me feel so lifeless. sobs.. anyway, need to train my confidence and self-esteem, so that I won't lose out when I am around these kind of people.

But I have another friend who is taking the same course, just different semester. At least it might still be okay la... (^^) 3 years to study, and then I will have a lot to suffer when I come out to work.

Talk about work, how to juggle the time between studying and working at the same time?? Degree is not going to be easy, and if I want to continue working, I will need to really plan my time and be disciplined enough in order to do well. Aihz... another headache, too headache until I think I lazy to type already.. haha..

anyways, let me sit down and think more about what I wanna write and I will continue writing right??

To be continued...
