It's been quite some time I last posted something about myself... FINALLY!!!
Have you ever cried because you're too happy?
Well, for whatever reasons it may be, it is rare and hardly someone can cry because of something happy.
For the record, this is my 3rd time and the most special one, so far.
2 good news in a row delivered to me within a day across lunch.
For the past few nights, I had multiple weird dreams. From getting shot at and really feel the pain to dreaming of my beloved grandfather came back to life from his death and several other mini "series" of nightmares. But I guess sometimes nightmares are blessing in disguise for me.
Too happy to mention about it.
Long story short:
After so many failures I had been through, I stepped out of my comfort zone once again and achieved something and all my efforts and sacrifices paid off .
Most importantly, I get to learn a lot though the experiences I had been through.
Thank you for all the support, assistance, wishes and luck. It's been extremely useful.
In return, I'll share a little secret of mine:
During last semester's exams, I only spent 8 hours or less before going into the examination hall for all my subjects I sat for. And the outcome turned out to be something I couldn't belief myself!. Haha. See, miracles do happen! I hope it'll never happen to me again in the future even though it's not a bad thing.
I hereby urge everyone who are currently enjoy lying in their comfortable lair to step out and try achieve something, be it small or big. At the end of the day, you will be the one who gains from what you had put effort on.
I wish everyone all the best in your future undertakings.
Make everyday count!
Today, I had the crappiest day of my life... so far. Theme song of the day : Daniel Powter - Bad Day
First, I slept probably at 3 or 4 in the morning ... Didn't sleep well due to the raw egg almond tea and also the blended iced coffee & tea drink we had a couple of hours ago in SS/2 Wong Kok Char Chan Teng while celebrating Philip's 21st birthday ... everyone had stomachache the whole night!!
Suddenly, I thought about the bicycle I was supposed to lend Jason a few hours ago... the gear chain was dislocated the last time I ride it back and I'd forgotten to fix it.
--------------------
Anyway, in the morning, during my 1st class - Computer System Architecture, I was emotionless & my movements were slow, but still I managed to concentrate during the class..
After that, Software Engineering... Vahid & I were supposed to perform a mock interview in front of the class. Ok, whatever, since the others don't want to do it... The preparation was hectic, we had to think of the questions to be asked and answered.
After the class, I went back to my hostel room for a nap before the Software Engineering assignment discussion at 2.
1400 - 1630 went back to my faculty and discussed about the assignment It was mind tiring.
After that, went back and slept from 5pm - 9pm
2100hrs A call on my phone woke me up - (for the 1st time in my life!). It was Jiong Kit, he called to ask me about venue of the meeting I'm supposed to attend in at 2000hrs. He told me that KPS was in total darkness and he had no idea where the others are meeting up.
Then I checked my watch - 2100.....and i thought ...erm 7pm? err. wait a minute... noooo! its 9 pm already!! gosh.. What happen to my processor? How could I mix up between 1900hrs & 2100hrs since I've been using the 24hr format on my watch all along.
So basically I had overslept and missed that meeting... sigh
Never mind, then I had the food dad brought from home for my dinner, which was supposed to be my lunch..... Hmm.. I think I can taste alcohol in it.. probably due to the food chemical reaction after a long day.
2200hrs Went to my bicycle to check the gear, only then I notice that I had actually given the wrong password to Jason. Instead of 1246, i told him 4612... what the hell?!
I decided to look for him to apologise about it. Along the way, I saw a few my friends returning from the hostel lobby and Pei Sen (one of the birthday girl) asked me why wasn't I there..... then i only knew that I'd missed out another thing... Birthday celebration for February babies..... oh nooo....
Now.. after blogging, I'll wash my Tupperware, take my shower, text my Ethnic Relations project group about the discussion tomorrow and then back to my studies- going to have 2 mid term tests next week.
--------------------
So, those were the things I had on the crappiest day of my life... so far... I wish it'll be over soon.
Due to the various factors and events happening around me for the past few days, I'm currently having an extremely bad mood; no mood to eat, no mood to study, no mood to work, no mood to play, no mood to talk, no mood to care... etc.
Who says men do not have PMSes? I daresay that I'm currently having a great one:
Mood-less, crappy, tired, sad, headache, eye ache, stomachache, sleepy, sick, frustrated, sensitive, irritated, depressed, lost, angry, lonely, annoyed, rebellious, ignorance, inconsiderate, lazy, bored, bad temper, sour face... etc. I'm having almost all of them at once.
Hey girls, do these "features" satisfy the "requirements" for having PMSes?
Somebody SAVE me!!!
I feel like screaming out loud. I'm super duper lost!!! & I need to escape!!!
p.s. I'm sorry if I'd unintentionally offended anyone during this period, Hope you all will understand my current situation.
My Uni's Student Council Election is around the corner.
Many brainwashing activities, emotional remarks, back-stabbing & threats has been going on over this 2 weeks.
Wastage of funds, kidnapping, protesting, flag burning & fighting are common towards the candidate-naming as well as the election day.
But what is the real purpose behind all this?
-- Power-Hungry bastards trying to manipulate other people's thoughts in order to achieve their own desire, even though it does not have anything to do with the development of the university?
Or people trying to gain other's trust by simply making allegations?
Think for yourself, are you voting for a particular person plainly because he/she:
- is your friend?
- is your course mate?
- is of your own race?
- is your hostel mates?
- looked more reliable?
- looked more charming?
- is the person whom the others influences/asks/forces/threatens you to vote for?
- ...(you simply do not have a choice, you vote because you're required to do so)
For which ever reasons, do not ever let your emotions conquer your rationality.
Do not blindly follow the others' footsteps.
USE YOUR BRAIN!!! NOT YOUR HEART!!!
I'm not here to ask you not to vote,
but Vote Smart, Vote with Confidence & most important you Vote Rationally.
And if you still could not decide who to vote for on the very moment you're standing in front of the ballot box, vote for Nobody. Remember, it's not a necessity to vote & it is definitely not a sin if you don't vote! You will not get yourself into any trouble if you do not vote!
Pause, and ask yourself, who are you? Are you really a University student? Or you're just another nobody out there who didn't get a chance to study, currently working like hell trying to earn for a living?
Then why are you not working towards your initial intentions when you first received your acceptance letter into the university?
Why waste most of your time participating in activities, playing games, skipping classes, not paying attention during classes and neglecting your studies?
At the end of the day, end up not getting to graduate?
And become the next hostel administrator?
Please do not waste that seat you're taking up in the Uni whereas there is someone else out there who deserves more than you do, dying to get a place in Uni but did not manage to get it.
SHAME ON YOU!!!
Conclusion is... Please, USE YOUR GOD DAMN BRAIN!!!
And so some of you might think... Who the hell am I to say this to you?
I’m not representing any of the competing ideological parties/bodies/organizations because I do not side any.
I'm just a student... who is fed up with those morons out there.
And if you can read Malay, read on (source: Friendster's Bulletin Board posted by Afif- 2nd-Year student in UM)
Apati Pelajar Tahun Satu
Pilihan Raya Kampus (PRK) kini berbunga kembali… Mahasiswa Universiti yang dipilih menjadi Calon sama ada Pro-Mahasiswa mahupun Pro-Aspirasi kini masing-masing mempertaruhkan manifesto-manifesto mereka…kononnya demi kebajikan dan kepentingan Mahasiswa. Tetapi ada segelintir calon sahaja yang melunaskan janji-janji manis mereka dan selebihnya hanya menjadi “Pak Turut” kepada pihak yang mencaturkan sistem ini. Inilah yang sering berlaku acapkali sehingga ianya menjadi klise menjelangnya musim PRK.
Dalam hal ini, Mahasiswa perlu sedar bahawa apa yang pentingnya disini ialah, anda mempunyai hak dan kebebasan dalam memilih calon yang mempunyai kredibiliti dan memperjuangkan kebajikan Mahasiswa pada hari ini. Bukannya calon yang bijak mempersetan dan beromong kosong dalam meraih undi simpati terutamanya dari pelajar tahun satu…cukup sadis dengan tindakan mereka ini. Apa yang perlu ialah calon yang dipilih itu bukan calon yang dicaturkan oleh sistem atau golongan elit yang bermatlamat tertentu tetapi seorang calon yang dipilih oleh mahasiswa demi mahasiswa itu sendiri. Akhirnya, wujudlah simtom yang dinamakan “mengkhinzir buta” oleh golongan mahasiswa tanpa mindanya dijana oleh mahasiswa itu sendiri… Adakah Mahasiswa kita pada hari ini hanyalah seperti layang-layang? Iaitu kebebasan layang-layang itu dikawal oleh penariknya. Maka ini hanyalah menjadikan Mahasiswa itu seperti ”serumpun lalang” yang tidak mempunyai platform dan pendirian yang tetap mahupun kritis.
Universiti adalah tempat dimana Mahasiswa berkeupayaan untuk berfikir secara kritikal bukannya yang direncanakan untuk menjadi robot atau Mahasiswa Boneka. Tindak-tanduk Mahasiswa sebenarnya ditentukan oleh Mahasiswa sendiri dan bukannya oleh pihak berkepentingan individualistik. Keadilan sosial dan hak Mahasiswa adalah pencetus kepada keseimbangan Negara dalam era marcapada kini. Jangan menjadi seperti burung merpati, mata terlepas badan terkurung… gahnya bergelar sebagai MAHASISWA UNIVERSITI tetapi tidak seGah peranannya sebagai Mahasiswa yang berintelektual. Pada hakikatnya masa kini, kita dapat melihat bahawa Mahasiswa tahun satu lebih cenderung menjadi apati iaitu tidak mengambil tahu tentang kesan yang bakal mereka peroleh apabila tersilap merencanakan calon mereka. Apati dalam konteks ini ialah Mahasiswa mengambil tindakan kalut dengan mengikut apa yang telah dipaksa dan dicaturkan oleh “gagak” itu…kenapa? Mahasiswa ini telah diugut dengan pelbagai ancaman tsunami kotor dan kolot mereka dalam mengekalkan pengaruh mereka yang begitu menjijikkan itu…inilah karenah birokrasi kita pada hari ini yang menggunakan prinsip matlamat menghalalkan cara...aku untung, poket kembung…
Wahai Mahasiswa Tahun Satu…ingatlah bahawa, mangkin kepada perubahan dan kebaikan Mahasiswa itu bukannya datang daripada gagak-gagak ini tetapi ianya lahir daripada Mahasiswa itu sendiri… akibatnya, apa yang kita takuti dan turuti itu menyebabkan kita bagaikan “melepaskan anjing yang tersepit” akhirnya ianya akan mengigit kita semula…
Pilihlah calon anda dengan telus dan tepat tanpa sebarang provokasi yang songsang supaya anda tidak dihegemonikan dengan ancaman mahupun ugutan merewang daripada pihak yang tidak berintelktualistik ini. Hak anda perlu diketengahkan dan jadikan ugutan mereka sebagai daun-daun kering yang berguguran tanpa sedikit pun mendatangkan faedah kepada kita…
KEGAGALAN LEPAS ADALAH MANGKIN KEPADA KEJAYAAN KITA PADA HARI INI.
BERSATU UNTUK BERUBAH….UNDIAN ANDA PERJUANGAN KAMI.
Winter Solstice - the shortest day or the longest night of the year on the northern hemisphere and vice versa on the southern hemisphere, occurs between December 20 and December 23.
It is the only day the sun shines brightly on the South Pole.
Every year, many cultures around the world celebrate this day for various reasons and significances.
Since I'm a Malaysian Chinese, I will only tell you how the Chinese celebrate this festival.
The Chinese call it Dong Zhi, (Chinese: 冬至; Pinyin: dōng zhì; "The Extreme of Winter").
This festival is also a time for family members to get together and the main activity of the day is the making and eating of glutinous rice balls (Chinese: 汤圆; Pinyin: Tāng Yuán).
Tang Yuan is a dessert of colourful glutinous rice balls served in hot syrup. The dessert symbolises reunion and prosperity.
Glutinous Rice Balls (Tang Yuan). Notice the bottom right one, it looks like a pokeball.
Just like every year, I celebrated the festival with the big family (on my dad's side) - my grandma, uncle and aunt's family, cousins to my dad's family, and not forgetting my cousin's girlfriend. As usual, my granny makes the Tang Yuan in the morning.
She always makes 2 types:
- the usual one in syrup boiled with a bit of ginger (shown above) -- we call it sweet Tang Yuan
- the unique Tang Yuan served in soup -- we call it "salty" Tang Yuan
I personally love the one in soup, it's like eating a soup noodle.
I think we are the only family around the world who serves this type of Tang Yuan.
You can put in any type of soup. This year, the soup of the day is the pork stomach soup (猪肚汤).
"Salty" Tang Yuan, Tang Yuan served in soup. yummy~

It looked nice in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari, but it turn out to be jaggy in Internet Explorer.. What the hell? (I need your comment on this. How did it looked like to you?)
I wonder how did the others managed to make it look nice?
2.Alignment probem:
The preview in my draft and what it turned out was totally different. This sucks... Big Looooong Time!!!
For this 2 reasons, I was unable to publish my drafts.
Damn!!!
p/s. I need your comments on how the font looked like on your screen. Thank you. =)
These are a couple of my favourite songs sung by The Corrs, I think they have super nice lyrics and music. I never get bored listening to these songs over and over again. Enjoy...
In just a few weeks, a number of students have been infected by the Rubella virus a.k.a. German Measles. A virus stereotyped by most Malaysians as a virus that only be harmful to female especially when they are pregnant. Due to the fact that most female students have already received their vaccine during their schooling days, and the Heath Ministry has not taken any initiative to provide the males with the vaccine injection over the years, I would proudly inform that most of the infected students were males. They simply have not develop any resistance whatsoever towards the virus.
Do read up this site from NPHS for Wales to get to know more about this virus. Who knows, you might be able to spot the infected person and prevent yourself from getting infected.
So, what did the U do to help to solve that problem? Of course, they order their nurses to sting everyone with the vaccine.....It wasn't so bad actually. They had scheduled sessions for the students and staff from every faculty and residential college to get the vaccination.
Coincidentally I wasn't there on the day they come to my hostel, so I had take the trouble to stay back for a day (as most of my friends has already gone back to their home on the previous day) and travel on my own to the Uni's Student Health Clinic to get my vaccination. Luckily it did not take long and the injection was painless... haha. I would also thank the bus driver who did not take leave to go back to his hometown, or else I'll have to walk like hell to that place...
So, if you ever meet someone with measles-like infection, quickly inform the authorities.
This is a picture taken from my timetable. It shows my Screen Name being written in such a way that it still can be read from upside down. Interesting huh? I got inspired and tried to it out after seeing some samples posted on the internet. This art has a name but I don't remember what is it called. I'll post the name once I get to find it out next time. Anyway, you too can try to create it once you've figured it out. Good Luck =)
Hi there. Recently I felt that I should get a place to share my views, thoughts, experiences and perhaps some photos with everyone. So I set up this blog, since most of my friends have been blogging for some time already. Hope you guys could spend some time to drop by and maybe leave some of your opinions here.
