Happenings

Last week was supposed to be out mid-term break but instead it had became our mid-term test week. Although we had been informed that there will be no mid-term break for us in the beginning of the sem. But still I want a break.

The mid-term test week was actually quite nice because there was only 1 test for me on that week, Physics. I think I screwed the test so I'll just skip the test part. =P This sem is not easy at all. For goodness sake it's just foundation but then those workloads are increasing day by day. oppsss. Maybe I'm just exaggerating things, not daily perhaps. But still, there are so many things to do, Physics reports, English report, Innovation and Change assignment, homeworks.......

Right after the test, I went for BBQ in one of my friend's house. The BBQ was AWESOME. It rained on the moment when I sat into my friend's car and headed for BBQ. That was actually quite disappointing but then thank God that the rain stopped just as we reached there. haha.. Isn't that amazing? There were a few chefs there that have only ONE duty, to BBQ for us. Sorry because we didn't help much but then all of your BBQ-ed food were DELICIOUS. haha. Sat right in front of the TV with the food and watched Thomas Cup which was an embarrassing one. Malaysia KALAH teruk. To China again. And Lee Chong Wei, lost straight sets to Lin Dan again just like how he did it for Olympic. Need to dig a hole and hide his head inside ady. =P Then Malaysia lost straight games to China 3-0. Then I walked out and take some fresh air and amazingly, the air was superbly fresh and cooling. WOW.. The feeling was so nice. There was a big pond just beside the house like a swimming pool. Feel like jumping in there and swim that day. haha!! Then chatted with friends outside of the house and it was nice. It was the 1st time that we chatted so long. WOW. That's SO COOL.. hahaha!!! And it's nice. 

I went for a class trip to Kubah. WOW.. It was amazing though it was a bit plain to me. But still, ITS AMAZING!!! I love the trip, I love my classmates and I love my teacher who put in a lot of efforts to make this trip a success.

The 1st day was filled with excitement and question marks in my head. I've never been there before. But this was the 1st trip for the class this sem and I hope there will be more to come. Okay~ back to the main point. The morning was kicked off with rain and I was kinda worried about the trip. For your information, Kubah is a place for hiking and waterfall. So now you know what I'm worrying about. We gathered in the uni and 13 of the guys stuffed into a mini van. The journey there was stuffy but then it was fun because some of us kept on doing some silly things and joke as well to induce our laughter. haha!!! There was one car where one aunty and a few of her children (I think) kept on looking at us when we were at a traffic light. They make us look like clown in the van. LOL.

It was a fun and short journey there. We checked into the chalet and had our lunch (with curry chicken) ~delicious~ Then we headed to the waterfall which required us to hike and also go through a little of jungle trekking. The journey up to the waterfall was not that hard. As soon as we reached, we jumped into the waterfall when the water was EXTREMELY COLD. Because of the rain that morning. I almost froze to dead but then that didn't stop me from playing in the water. =)

However, our journey back to the chalet was not the smooth as the journey to the waterfall. We thought of taking the shortcut back but then the route that was supposed to be the shortcut became longer. We were quite terrified that time because the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker (plus the sign that indicates the distance back to chalet was getting longer as we continued in) In the end, we managed to reach back to the chalet safely just before the sunset. Thank God. =)

Had another BBQ there. While playing with cards (police and assassin) wow. That game was nice when you are playing with a bunch of friends. We actually played that game until way past midnight. And it was not boring at all. LOL. VJ slept on the sofa and we tried to wake him up to ask him go back to his room and sleep. But then when we tried to wake him up by shaking him, he snored. The more we shake him, the louder he snores. XD

The next morning when I woke up, Adden was also just awake. And it was because of the naughty Salman and Edric who put toothpaste on Adden's face and armpits. THAT WAS SO FUNNY. They should at least wake me up to see if they do not want to call me along into this funny moment. Good time seriously doesn't last. The trip ended with a group picture. But at least we had fun playing together and get to know each other more. It was really an unforgettable trip and I hope that there will be more to come. =)

Just 2 days before the trip, I went for swimming. It had really been awhile since I swim. It was fun although that I got sunburn after that. And because of that also, my skin now is shedding like a snake. It was really torturing the next day after I swam. The last time when I got sunburn was so long ago and it was because of swimming too. But that was because I entered a competition and this was because I swim for fun. So big different. haha!!

So fast, it was already 2weeks plus since Lauretha left. She was really a great friend. Though that we just knew each other less than a year, but then we are FRIENDS!!! Friends Forever. And now its Christian's turn to leave us. Too bad. He is really a good guy. =) Take acer Christian went you move to Aussie.

Happy Mother's Day

HAPPY MOTHER's DAY. Firstly, I want to thank my mum for everything, thank her for bringing me up, thank her for teaching me, thank her for.........................................(endless)

A lot had happened lately but then I forget what I wanted to blog here now. That's how pathetic it is. Let me recall.. Hmmm Hmmmm..................errrrrrr.........................

Oh ya... After 2 weeks of short and hard practice for the hand-miming performance, we did well in the real performance. Although there were some mistakes made but then the result was still NICE... The song was actually quite normal for me at the beginning but then after a few practices, the song just couldn't get off my head. HOLD ON~~HOLD ON~~ I still remember there was this particular practice when I laughed until I shed tears and rolled on the floor. All thanks to CHANG TING. She pointed out my mistakes and give me the 'look' which caused me all this. I did some mistakes in the move and mix up all those moves only, then she looked at me. Then I did even more mistakes and her face expression really make me can't stop laughing. It was really a torturing laughter.. haha!!!

I never realised that the caregroup last wednesday was the last one for Lauretha for now. She is going to work in PJ. I knew her barely for a year but then she is really a friendly and funny friend to be. After the caregroup, everyone suddenly gave her a suprise farewell by singing HOLD ON to her. This song really make an impact to each and everyone who had involved themselves in the miming performance. And also to those who are not. I can't take off that song out of my mind now. The impact of that song is so big. We kept on repeating that song until she actually wept. Because it was too touching for her I think. All the best for you, Lady Tha Tha. God bless.

I hate my this sem. Especially the stupid physics lab report. There are so many works to do for each report. And the works are like getting more and more for each and every report. Plus I have a so 'brilliant' lab assistant that doesn't like to explain stuffs and like to tell us stuffs during the last minutes. Workloads for assignments are building up too. Idea Generation, Idea Conversion, Idea Diffusion, Six Thinking Hats, NAF bla bla bla..

Entering into Mid-Term Test week. But eventually everything seems to be so hard to get into my thick skull. I wish I can drill more holes on my skull so that things will flow into my brain easier. haha!! But let things go by flow. =) And I haven't really started my revision for the test yet. Gonna die very soon. Haha..

Oh yea, I watched Ip Man 2 and also Iron Man 2. I can seriously say that Ip Man 2 is super NICE.. WALAO!!!!! Kacha........Quote from the movie, 'you think winning important or eating with your family is important?'. If everyone is given a choice, I think they will choose both. haha!!

Happy Birthday Jill.

(Hold on~Hold on~)

Hell of a week

I had been missing for so long.

Hell of a week. I do not know how to tell this but then I just feel that my schedule this sem is super packed. Now is only the 5th week and there were a few quizzes plus presentation and another assignment coming up.

There was this Physics lab report that I had to hand in last Tuesday and I was rushing to finish it last minute with my group mates because of the Lab Assistant who is being so demanding. He told us everything almost last minutes that this cannot and that cannot when we had finish doing everything and preparing to hand it in. And there was a group member of mine that didn't really did much and we had to finish up the work for her in the really last minutes. Report had to be submitted at 5.30pm and the report of our group mate was handed in at 5.25pm. That was a close one.

Besides, I also involved myself in the mime that we are going to perform soon. It consumed really a lot of my time. Plus the presentation and quizzes that were coming up, I really being quite worried at the beginning.  And also because of this performing, I'm kinda addicted to this song that I had been practicing now. Hold on Hold on.............!!!! =P

Just before the presentation today, I had my Physics quiz. I really do not know how to comment about the quiz. So, I'll just skip this.

Let's talk about the presentation. I prepared the Power Point slides about 1 week before the presentation but straight after I finished my slides, I didn't really touch it to prepare my speech for today. I basically just prepared my speech yesterday night for about 1 or 2 hours. Thank God that I didn't really did much mistakes today and I can say that I had done my best. But during the presentation I had done something that I feel really bad about and I've regretted doing it. I really wish that I can travel back to the time before it happens. However, everything is too late. I shall bear the consequences of the stupid me that couldn't control myself at times.

There was this thing that happened last week that really pissed me off. I can't control myself but to hate everyone that I think involved. Since this incident, I just had negative thoughts on them which basically just because of one person that did this. I was so pissed of that I actually wanted to scold them face to face for being a person with 2 faces. It's just so true that the people of this world are living with a mask on them. Even those that I think would do so. Talk in this way but then do it in another way. They just make me feel that trustworthiness no longer exist. I'm now wondering whether I shall continue to befriend with them.

How come I always tend to look things in such perspective? Random and bad thoughts will always come and pollute my mind. I just couldn't control myself. Am I just being an invisible person here who is living just for the sake of myself?? Things always go the direction that you do not want it to be. That actually will make you frustrated. Looks like I'm just posting this post here also just for the sake of myself to blurt something out of myself.

Ahh, this blog is getting so 'down'. I shall stop it now or else worst thing will happen.

Good Friday and Easter

Second week of class. I'm getting used to the environment now. New classmates and new surrounding. Guess I have to bear with it.

Good Friday was NICE. Why would I said that? Because I went to the first mountain hiking since I came to Sarawak, a land of nature. I went to Gunung Gading which was about 1 hour 45 minutes of journey from Kuching. It was not really a hard journey for me as the road was super bumpy. There was actually police with machine guns waiting there for our arrival. Proud proud. haha!! Actually it was because of some Dato or someone 'big' who was there.

We started off our journey to the Waterfall No.1. That waterfall was just normal and there was kinda alot of people there. So the scenery wasn't that nice. On our way to the next waterfall, there was this big rock that we need to pass through. And guess what!? The rock was called 'Batu Apek' or 'Old Man Rock' (FUNNY name)

The scenery in Waterfall No.3 was super nice which was the 2nd waterfall that we dropped by. We had our lunch there. I did sweat though I didn't sweat much caused we were walking with quite of a slow pace so that all can walk in a group.

And finally we reached Waterfall No.7. The scenery was breath-taking. It was totally indescribable. The place was peaceful with just us there. The water that was rushing down and hit those stones there created water sprinkles. With the cold wind and sprinkles of water there, it was like a big fan sprinkling water to you. And I was soaked and lying on a big stone as if I was sunbathing. The feeling was so comfortable and those sweat and blood that I dripped was totally worth it. haha!!! No blood la. Jusr sweat.

Then we headed down to see Rafflesia. I did managed to take a look of it but eventually it was quite small. However, I did finally take a look of the world largest flower in front of my eyes. Thank God that it didn't rain because the sky was drumming when we were heading down. It was just on the way back that it rained. Thank God.

Easter was great.

I wanted to watched many soon-to-be-released movie (Ironman 2, Prince of Persia, The Last Airbender and Kaiji) I wanted to watch Kaiji not because I really like it. It's because the main theme song is from YUI. It's all too much - Yui. Arhhhhhh!!!!! I wanted to watch it!!!

Quiz tomorrow and flu now.

Here Am I Again

Finally my holiday ended. 2 months holiday is definitely not enough for me. It seems to be quite long but its actually very short. It can end in just a blink of eye and that's just what happened to me.

Now I'm back to Kuching, the city of Cat. Hostel seems to be crowded to me now compared to summer semester. A lot of new faces in the hostel and this make me kinda uncomfortable. Even the canteen during lunch break also got extremely crowded for me. There was a day when I went there and couldn't find any seat and have to wait for quite some time.

Class on the 1st day was not that ideal as I had expected. I thought that they gave me this timetable and group to follow but eventually they made some last changes. In the end, I got a new timetable and group without being informed and that caused me to missed the 1st engineering maths class. This 1st class that I missed had caused me quite a lot of confusion. It made me to worry so much but in the end, its nothing. =P

I got into the same class with most of my Indian friends who I am not that close to. But anyway, things got better as time goes by. Perhaps I should be optimistic enough for that. =) 1 week of class had passed and it wasn't that bad for me. It seems that I had starting to get use to it somehow, have to. In this 1 week, I had been working quite hard even though it was just the 1st week. It was just so not me. Maybe that there was something that keeps me going. "The Promise"....I shall make this as my motivation to study when I am too indulge into games.

Talking about class.... My lecturers this semester was rather interesting. There were a few features for each and every lecturers of mine. 1 looks like Phua Chu Kang's mother, Ah Ma.... 1 more looks like Garfield.. hahaha!!!

I watched the movie "How to train your Dragon" in 3D. The movie was nice and I think it was even nicer than Alice in Wonderland. Wearing the 3D specs was rather tiring because I need to wear 2 specs at once. It seems like after the release of Avatar 3D, many more 3D movies started to come up. I am now waiting to watch "Prince of Persia" and "Iron Man 2" after watching the trailers. Iron Man 2 seems to be so so so nice. I'm so waiting for that. Hehe...

It was rather pathetic when you were expecting something as you were being told but then that person doesn't seems to take it seriously and remember it. That's just how life is. 1 piece of advice is to be optimistic.

I LOVE IPOH

I had attended the I LOVE IPOH project as to continue the 2nd part of the CHANGE YOUR WORLD concert. This project is to help those who are in need.

The journey to the Vineyard Keeper Center in Chemor by bus was quite a short one as others said that it was suppose to be longer. We were then divided into 3 groups of having 3 different duties. We were given the duty of distributing food to the needy. We visited a total of 6 families which was really an eye opening experience to me. Those families were mostly of big family which mean the parents have many children. There was also one family that has 8 wives. I was like (WOW) when I heard of it when at the beginning I thought the number 8 was referring to 8 children instead of 8 wives. *speechless*

Soon after we finished our food distributing, we then headed back to the center and had a little tour around the center. The center was more like an animal center rather than a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center to me. There were cows, goats, birds, rabbits, dogs, guinea pigs, ducks and swans. The dogs, rabbits and especially guinea pigs were superly cute. That SokWai kept on wanting to smuggle a guinea pig into her bag as a souvenir back home. I also got a chance to see 3 one-year-old goat that can't even stand yet. They were cute!!!

Those moments were great. However, I still regretted of didn't managed to shield the corns and also didn't get a chance to see how Bubu shield those corns. We were joking about how Bubu will peel off those corns by using his teeth. haha!! Soon after we arrived back at Elim, we headed to the cafe opposite to have some cold drinks and especially ice cream. We have some great laughter there.

Watched Alice in Wonderland yesterday The movie was just normal. Not that nice as I had expected. Tweedledee and Tweedledum were funny. The way the talk and behave were funny. I was laughing when I heard that the White Queen's name was Mirana (Priestess of Moon). The bad thing about watching the movie yesterday was..... I was sick...

Not really feeling well now even.

Changed

Yesterday night or should I say evening was the concert - Change The World concert performed by the '1am Relent' band. We (Sokwai, Bubu, Ben, Kaylynn, Yeesan and WengHong) met up in Parade to have our dinner before heading to the concert which is starting at 6pm. I had my dinner at Kopitiam Junction and headed to Giant to buy some supply for charity together with SokWai.

There is only one word to describe the concert - AWESOME. The sound system was nice as it was extremely loud and clear while the lighting was not bad considering the effects that it brought to the concert although those lights blinded me sometimes. Some songs were quite plain but yet I like the song 'Crooked'. The lyric was nice and quite funny. It's been awhile since I joined such kind of concert that were so loud. I can barely listen to myself when they were singing. Funny things happened during the concert among us which I find it was hilarious. However, the concert didn't last long as 4 hours was like so short to me. The crowd was shouting and screaming like mad to show their excitement. It was really really cool to shout along with them until you lose your voice in the end. haha!!

Examples were shown about how a normal human being can make different to others. The one that really left an impact on me is Martin Luther King Jr. - "I have a dream........ I have a dream..........." I understand a bit of the feeling of being discriminated because of their skin colour, just a simple bit of it. A simple step can change the future.

I went for supper with them after the concert when everyone was like starving considering the dinner that was taken so early. We were crapping there as usual.

The event did really left something in my heart. But I wonder will it last long or it was just something that happened at that very moment. Self-reflection do happened but will it last?? Being selfish is not easy and being kind is even harder. Determination is needed for a person to change.

Currently suffering from blister. PAIN!!

When you are filled with laziness, blogging is hard. Applies to me lately.
