Fun! Fun! Fun!

Huh... Today was great! I met my cousins from Canada whose names are Joshua, Lucinda and Krystal this morning. Not to forget Krystal's boyfriend, Kent, too. We had a small tete-a-tete and exchanged our handphone numbers. At first, I thought there would be less conversation since this is the first time we meet. Surprisingly, we turned out to be amicably well together and there's no language barrier ( I thought my English is bad at first >.<) Of course, we took some pictures and I'm looking forward to see those pictures to be posted. Post it you guys, pronto! Anon!!

After I had my lunch, I packed my things and headed back to KL. I took SKS-KL (correct me if I'm wrong) and we stopped at Pasar Seni LRT Station. There was a big load of people queueing there to get their tickets. Of course, me too ( Zzz... damn boring and hot). Besides, only 4 ticket machines were functioning instead of 8. So, there was no surprise when the queue could line up until the ladder there. Fortunately, I was offered by a middle-age man, helping me to buy my ticket. After thanking and bidding him adieu, I rushed to the loo because I need to pee (Aww... this is embarrassing). When I was peeing, an Indian guy standing beside me was looking at my penis! I just rolled my eyes and did nothing. Then, there was another Chinese guy came (because I have so much to excrete XP!!) and standing beside me (there were only 2 standing places to pee) again... This guy is so... I don't know how to say him. He just moved his head, nearing me and looking straight to my penis! It was so obvious you know. I stared him back and he just took a glance on me and continued looking at my penis again. He leaned on the wall while peeing when he saw me trying to look back at his penis. What the fuck? After that, I just leaved the toilet and waited for my LRT to come.

I reached Wangsa Maju and went for some shoppings in Jusco then. When I was taking my bus back to Genting Klang (my apartment is there), I saw a friend of mine, Ming Qi (I don't know how to spell). Hohoo... we chatted then. That's all... It was fun because I felt like I did something and there were many things happened on me today. Unlike the days I spent in TM... T.T

Out of the Game...

This is something to share...

QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) Ltd conducts and compiles the annual World University Rankings, measuring university research quality, graduate employability, teaching commitment and international commitment based on a combination of global surveys and audited data, including citation counts from Scopus (world's largest database of academic publishing). For your information, Universiti Malaya (UM) has bowed out from top 200 of the prestigious 2010 QS World University Rankings - slips from 180 in 2009 to 207 in 2010.

UKM, USM, and UPM have all improved while UTM/UiTM dropped.
  1. UKM : 291(2009) to 263(2010).
  2. USM : 314(2009) to 309(2010).
  3. UPM : 345(2009) to 319(2010).
  4. UTM : 320(2009) to 365(2010).

Despite having this result, the Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed told The Star it was normal to see fluctuation in the rankings. He said, "the ministry had its own strategic plan which was benchmarked against world's best practices, and would take note of the rankings". Oh really? If the ministry's plan results in this fluctuation, then it is flawed and ought to be changed. I wonder what would happen and what would he say if our position improves. The country will be painted red? Haha... I guess this is the nature of human. When something great happens on us, we will boast and be proud like there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, we will find excuses to cover up ourselves if something bad or humiliating happens on us.

Guys... what's about your opinion?

Holidays!!

Hooray... It's holiday now! I don't know about you guys but I really need to rest after the four-month battle with my studies. I need to sleep. I need to play. I need to watch movies. I need to rejuvenate myself(literally XP). I'm in a dire need to RECHARGE!! College's life is utterly different from what I thought it would be. Coping with my studies, time management, stress relieving, control on foods, control on spending, entertainment, familiarizing with new environments, get used with teachers, making friends, et cetera must be in sync. Aww... At least I made it this far. There's no turning back, you know.

Hmm... It was tiring. At times, I was wondering why I'm getting myself into this. I meant, waking up 8am in the morning and going back at about 4pm(on average)? Taking 3 sciences and 1 Mathematics(excluding those LAN subjects), do you expect me to finish all my homework and revisions? Time is not enough man. At least not for me. Some teachers are not even up to mark some more. Haiz... Can you guys give me some suggestions? Do you think there's a need for me to drop one science subject? As you know, I'm weak in Chemistry but I can't drop it because it's that important. But I have a constant love for both Biology and Physics. That is why I'm still taking 3 sciences even though most of my friends have dropped one. I can't afford to lose my scholarship for not getting more than or equals to 60% for each of my subjects because I don't want to burden my family members. That requires a lot of thinking though...

Anyways, let's just forget about it and get into the mood. I'm looking forward to play badminton with my TM friends. Somebody please do something and I'll waiting you guys to inform me the date. That is all for now... Enjoy your holidays!!

A nervous-cum-tedious day

A faint twinge of excitement floated through my body yesterday. I did not know whether it was because of the fact that I will be having my driving test today or just after cups of tea I drank.

As I stepped into the field of war, all the nervous deliberations crept into my defenseless body. My adrenaline was running frantically. I utterly felt my heartbeats pounding hard out of my chest. HOWEVER, after hours of tedious waiting, whatever nervousnesses were dilapidated. The JPJ authorities actually came late and gave us the cliche remark that something iwas wrong with their car. At that moment, I was exasperated but I continued to hold my best masquerade for a few more hours.

Okay, I do not want to beat around the bush. I passed the 'bukit'. I passed the parking. But what annoyed me was that the JPJ guy come near me and said that I have dropped the so-called 'tiang'. He actually scared me to death but you know what? He lied. Zzz.... What an inglorious act of someone who I supposed to be so much more mature and noble. After that, road driving test. Fortunately, I got the Midas touch to have an amicable JPJ examiner sitting right beside me. I actually calling him 'abang'. ^_^

Here are my bad chronicles of the road driving test:
  1. not adjusting the left mirror (which I do not know I have to >.<")
  2. not using the traffic light wisely (which the JPJ guy have to tell me what to do)
  3. sudden brake
  4. car was moving behind
  5. not using the right gear for respective speed
  6. engine off twice

Hoho... Despite of having so many mistakes, I actually passed it. I do not know whether it is decent for me to rejoice but I do. For this very test, it shows me that we do not have to be always excellent for something we put on test. In fact, we can just cover up what we are lacking of with other ability/abilities, be it in communication, interpersonal, intrapersonal, life, et cetera. By the way, sorry if my opinion clashes with yours but that is just one of my mere perspectives. I hope you guys have a good day too... 'Bronto' day!

Good or bad?

Hmm, I guess I haven't pen in my SPM result. I know it is a bit late but just to add some infos of myself in my blog is not wrong right? It was not string of As but not bad too. 8As and 3Bs. What more can I hope for?

Needless to say, people nowadays mostly obsessed in getting strings of As. However, can you assure me that those exam top scorers will surely surpassing the mediocre performers in the future? Personally, I do not think so. There were tonnes of people who are not well academically but they earn more money and holding high-ranking posts compare to those who aced their exam papers.

However, most parents have neglected other developments of their children because they are only focusing on academic. It is as if children who can't get many or straight As will considered stupid and useless. First of all, classifying them as weak students is an unfair assessment. They may be weak academically, but may have bright minds to do business or bright hands to do craft works or skills like motor mechanics.

To be successful in life, you need to have skills, be it technical, interpersonal, life or communication skills. By the way, obtaining straight As is not the be-all and end-all of life. Couple of weeks ago, I leafed through the newspaper and an article caught my attention. It introduced the Multiple Intelligences(MI) theory that one might have. There were 8 types of intelligences:

Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence (Body Smart - ability to use body to express one's self)
Career options : physical therapist, sportsman, dancer, aerobic, instructor, athlete, carpenter, choreographer, jeweller, etc.

Musical Intelligence (Music Smart - ability to perceive, discriminate, transform and express musical forms)
Career options : disc jockey, instrument salesman, songwriter, teacher, music director, instrumentalist, etc.

Obituary

It has been a long time since I blogged last time. In the mean time, many things had happened and really changed my life and my perspectives on life. It started well from working to... I think most of you knew what it was. Hmm, I guess that is what we call the twist in life right? Here is what I feel for the lost love:

You were like my idol
You gave life to me
You showered me with copious love and care
You protected me from all hazards.

Sometimes
We bickered and I always had you exasperated
Albeit I did not mean to
But we will be fine then.

As both of us grew older
And separated far apart
Even when you weren't near me
You were always in my heart.

Nothing could describe my joy
When I found that you loved me
And nothing can describe my pain
When I found that I'm not by your side during the sunset of your life.

But fate was cruel, it is unkind
It made you go away
I knew that you could not return
No matter how much I pray.

The sun will continue to shine
With its rays that are so bright
However, inside my darkened world
Nothing feels right.

Now I'm standing by myself
Mourning all alone
Reminiscing on all our times together
And all the love you've shown.

I will always love you
You, who was my first and my last until the end.

Fabulous Day^^

Today is just nice for me. In the morning, I went to school and met some of my lovely teachers (Pn.Moga, Pn.Thana, Pn.Sharifah, and Pn.Fazidah). It was quite happy to hear the words that come out from their mouths. 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!!

After that, I went for my undang test. The girl who was taking charge there was so rude! I really thought that she was having her menstruation. Zzz... At first, I was scared when i cannot log in my ID. I forced myself to ask that annoying girl back then. ..... I actually find out that I sat in the wrong place. It was so embarrassing and I did get another crazy look from that girl. Lolz.

Putting that aside, I have actually passed the test! It was not a great score but at least I passed. Hehe... I got 45 out of 50 questions there. It was just sweet and lovely. Actually, I just spent a night studying the kpp book I borrowed from Seow. And I did less than 200 questions from the question book because I feel faint every time I open that book. Lolz...excuses. Oh yeah, Chew passed too^^

Hmm... We are going for our interview tomorrow. At this point, I'm happy and I'm looking forward for my job interview tomorrow. Finger crossed, let's hope for the best for us tomorrow. Together we break through the sky and fly up high!!!
