~~Slacking off... ~~

I had not been busy lately, seriously! Sure, I have some tutorials and assignments to do but somehow, after doing all these, I still had some free time... With that, I choose to slack (I think it's the influences of someone I know...). Although not entirely free, but just free enough to slack.

I assured you that being a university student is not as easy as it might be. Almost everyday, I have classes from 10am to 6pm with Friday being free on alternate weeks. When my class are done at 6pm, I will usually head back to my room. For some unknown reason, I will usually feel very tired by then. I guess I got no stamina? Even more after Chinese New Year, my slackness seems to have increase for 50%... I don't recall being in such a state in the past *Thinking hard, reflecting on my memories...*

Oh well, enough with that... In my previous post, I remember blogging about me taking a Chinese lesson in my university. Well, I got a good news. I did learn some Chinese words after all. A very simple one though, nothing worth bragging but just enough for sharing. I think even a Standard 1 student can beat me in it... Still, its worth mentioning as before I don't even know a single word (Ok, I do admit knowing how numbers look like).

I would like to show you my Chinese textbook and workbook... Quite 'chunt-ed' one, ok, being produced by Beijing University... *Kua jiong-nya*


Of course, some additional exercise besides those from textbook and workbook... Hehe, its all my writing, no cheating. May not look so nice though, beginner anyway...



One of the thing about the Chinese language module that I have is that it have a rather heavy workload with 4 hours of lecture each week and 2 hours of tutorial. Phew! Really spend a lot of time of it, not only in school, but also at home. Really not easy... I still a bit suck in determining tone for 'hanyu pinyin' during listening... Wah, a quiz coming somemore... Sure fail in it one!

Aside from my Chinese language, I still got other module such as sociological studies and understanding the universe (both are optional modules) requiring me to start preparing for its project... For sociological studies, I find it too be a bit deep and require some micro-observation and analysis in which I still not so good yet. It gonna be hard as I need to prepare a presentation on social issues of family or deviance in the coming month or so??? Understanding the universe or astronomy in simple word, on the other hand, have a project that is essay-based. It is basically about reviewing an astronomy article. Of course, it is a group work but I think it require a lot of personal research and studies. Thinking of this both do tense me up...
~Hope it to be over soon~

Anyway, just for a tease... Look down.... Way down....

Enjoy your week!!!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Yay!!! Chinese New Year is here!!! *Celebrate, ang pau and lots of food!*

It has been almost a week since my last post. I realise that I like to type MORE words than to post pictures... The truth is I am ~lazy~ to take picture and upload to computer and then upload to blog unless it is really nice lar... My habit XD

Tomorrow at 8pm, I will be leaving Singapore and going back to Malaysia. I can't imagine spending my Chinese New Year here... Malaysia is still the best place for Chinese New Year.

Well, because I going back earlier than expected, I have to miss one of my CA ( Continual Assessment) on Friday. This CA actually carries 10% mark for my final. Hmph! There is nothing I can do about it. I told my lecturer about it and guess what is his reply? He said, "I am sorry. There is nothing I can do about it. I actually anticipated this but because there is no other day, I have to set it on this date." I was like "..." and I told him nevermind. Then he keep saying, "I am sorry, there is nothing I can do about it" a lot and alot of times. I think I lost count about it. Anyway, my point is I am a little bit frustrated because previously, I bought the ticket before they announce this. *Terrible people, so late ni announce...* Guess I need work harder to overcome those 10 marks lost.

Chinese New Year coming which means a lot people will be leaving for their hometown. I wonder will this Chinese New Year can hang out with friends? Call me out if you are around... Or even come find me! My time here is not long, only up to 3rd day of Chinese New Year...

So, once again Gong Xi Fa Cai to all who celebrate Chinese New Year! *Hmm, forgot got assignments but don't care lar*

Here Comes 2nd Semester!!!

Ok, I don't know why I made the blog title so exciting. Well, in fact who will be excited about it?

But oh well, since that it has already started, lets just talk about it a little. My first class of this semester is actually statistic. Did I mention to you that I did terribly in one of my module that contained statistics? Not that I like to take it but it was allocated to me. So, no choice but I have to take it.

First of all, I need to thank God that my lecturer for this statistics module of mine were more vibrant, animated and speaks in language that I understand (so far lar...). Previously, I got a lecturer that was definitely, definitely monotonous and a mumbler... It's not that he don't know how to speak English (he is an ang-mo by the way...) but he is somehow lazy to talk? Oh well, I just glad that it's over.

Tomorrow, I will have 3 lectures *hmph, terrible*. Let me see... I have Sociology in the morning (I really can't believe I actually took it). In the afternoon, I have Astronomy (I just took it to fufill requirement, not because I like it) and Chinese (trying to graduate from a 'banana' to maybe a 'mango' (because inside and outside also yellow?).

My original plan was actually to minor in management by taking 2 business modules but like my msn display says, "I hate CORS bidding!!!" You may never get my frustration now but trust me, it can be really frustrating when dealing with it. To an extend, you will have that 'whatever' kind of attitude when comes to dealing with it.

So, that is the end of my first day... *Realized that I becoming an Arts students as I travel to Arts' Faculty a lot...*

Back in Singapore...

It's been second day since I move back to my hostel. The truth is that I already start missing those times I have in Malaysia *Wish that I could be there now*. I have no idea why I am feeling like that. Maybe in my mind, Singapore is a representation of hard times? Maybe it's just me...

Even now, I am actually expecting the coming of Chinese New Year in two weeks time. On those days, I can come back after some ticket-hunting to go back to KL *Yay!!!*. Can you believe this? Buses company started to charge crazily on bus tickets. Shame on you, bus companies!!! Just because it's CNY, you started increasing price knowing that we need to go back!

On the other hand, I need to skip 2 days of class in order to go back to KL and coming back to Singapore. I tried not to skip these classes but then I got no choice lor... I am a good student, ok?

Strangely, I got no inspiration of what to blog about... Just a few days, I feel like blogging alot of stuff. Mental block , I suppose? How sad...

Lastly, just want to show some video I took at Suntec City that I went during one of the days that I am here. Found it to be quite nice lor... Poor quality though...

Reflection...

HAPPY YEAR 2009!

As I look back to 2008 from 2009's point of view, I was amazed. I personally think that 2008 had not been that great of a year to me. Nonetheless, I was really thankful for the good things and bad things (not for the bad things but) how I managed to pull it through) that had happened to me. Speaking of bad experiences, I realized that 2008 has more bad experiences than previous years. I think that there are many times that I want to break down and cry it all out (in which I could not). Strange isn't it???

This has really lasted for quite some time in 2008 but I think no one actually knew because I never tell? However, my holidays during the whole month of December is really fruitful. I realized that I seriously miss my life in Malaysia. Going to church on Saturday and spending time with my friends in Youth Group are things that I missed the most. SJ2, I really miss all of you! Thank you for spending your precious times with me. I will treasure it always. I hope you all will still be there when I came back for my next long vacation.

Besides that, to all my friends in high school, thank you for the fun 'yumcha' sessions that we have. I will also remember it dearly. Now that my holiday is going to end soon, I am actually 'berat hati' to go back to Singapore. I wish that I could have more time here!


I guess when I am back here, I actually learn more things than the whole year. I did alot of reflections during these times which proved priceless to me. Perhaps my decision to study in Singapore is wrong? Maybe not? Well, to me now, what had happened had happended. Nothing can change that but one thing that I know, I can continue to look towards year 2009 with much hope and anticipations...

Holidays....

I been spending a lot of time going out recently, meeting up with all my high school friends. Really miss them all!!! The times of fun and jokes as we chat are priceless. With that, I kind of abandoned my blog for sometime. No picture lor for this blog... Because yesterday, my laptop crashes for an unknown reason. The day before, I actually performed some Windows Update and when I restarted it, the whole computer crashed. As I was about to sleep, I thought that it is nothing, so I ignored it until I actually used it yesterday. After restoring it from an old, old image, I lost most of my lecture notes (thank God exam is over!), some songs and also pictures that I took for my trip to Singapore Botanical Garden. Ish! I have to spend an additional hour to update back the computer. Phew! Now, its back to normal and running well (with alot of lost files)...

p/s: Ee Lin, I think you need to share the pictures for our trip to Botanical Garden again, starting from the first picture.

Yesterday, I went to PC Fair in KLCC and I upgraded my phone's memory card to 2GB. Yay! Now, I can store more songs than last time as my older memory card is only 512MB. It is really a bargain as a 2GB microSD card only cost RM20. I used to recalled it being sold for around RM60 plus some time ago. Maybe in the future, it will drop even further. I guess IT stuffs are not worth the investment after all eh... Anyway, I thought of getting a speaker as well for my laptop and also check up price of graphic card (which I forgottten about it). Well, I didn't because the speaker sold either don't satisfy my requirement or is too pricey. I looking for a speaker with good quality, portable but not expensive. Any recommendation???

There is around 4 more weeks plus of holiday. Looking forward to spend time with my friend in the comind days...

I Guess I Gone Crazy...

It's been awhile since I actually blog and my first post after so long is done at 6.43am... How crazy is that? Well, apparently in 2 hours time will be my last paper... Been studying for it whole night until a point I don;t even understand. "I guess that's my limit", I said to myself. So, I decided to go to sleep. But since I have coffee during my study time, I can't sleep!!! I rested awhile around 1 hours plus and here I am, blogging about it...

Apparently, I am not confident with the last paper I going to take later. Well, first of all, it's a Maths module and as you know, there is a need for practice lar but I only manage to do some reading and understanding the lecture notes. Secondly, the most terrible of all, this paper I taking also contain some statistic (which I don't really like). My Stats lecture is terrible! I don't even understand what he is actually teaching about. So, you know how bad is it lar for me...

Last paper, I really do hope it will be over and that I will do okay for it. Won't expect much with such last minute preparation especially when I am so 'karat'. At 11am, I will be FREEEEEEEE!!!!! I hope I won't come out crying later over the paper *LOL*.

I guess many of you will ask when I will be coming back... Mark the date! Its Dec 8 and I will have at least one month of holiday in Malaysia. Make sure call me out to hang out, yum cha, have fun , etc... I will hanging out in Singapore for around a week lar thats why so late... Got some plan to explore around here....
