School Opening

Okay, i've enrolled into one of the INTI's program again yesterday, so, HELLO again INTI for another year. School starts on 3 January 2007 and I'll be back to my old life again except that I'll travel to there everyday instead of staying in the hostel this time. I dunno what to say... I'm afraid, I'm nervous, I'm scare that I'll be alone, I'll unable to cope with the course and so on.... help~~ hopefully thing goes well....
okay, so I went to gurney yesterday to do some shopping... you know... new year coming... and a few days ago, I met up with Hui Peng - my dear friend, Sheng Hao and Kai Chin. It's been a long time since the last time i met them.. so nice to meet up with them and updating myself with things happened around them. And thanks to them for providing me a lift back to home and going there.
Apart from that, there's a quake that happened a few days ago in Taiwan and the internet access were corrupted in some Asia countries until now still not completely repaired. This had affected many of the internet users such as some webpage users like blogger, friendster, youtube and so on. My super damn slow speed already made me get frustrated and now became super duper damn slow. What a world wide wait!! Thank god it's better now than morning. But still some can't even view at all, like my yahoo mail!! Darn quake!!
Well, nothing much to say, just want to enjoy my last few days of freedom and make full use of the time doing things i want to do before my class commences.

Tired

I am tired, I am exhausted, I am sleepy.... I just back from my camping yesterday, I slept for 16 hours last night, the longest time I ever slept and I woke up at 4 p.m. , the latest time I ever woke up, ooh man…. What I can say about the camp is the schedule too tight, we don’t have enough time to rest, I dunno is it fun or not because I don’t really join their program as I was busying with my sound system problems.
I have nothing much to say anymore, well, just wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Miserable Me

HSC results are out today. Actually I don't wanted to see it, not today... but early in the morning, Loo Hoang rang me up and was asking me how is my results... by that time, i still not dare to see it, and my mom said see la, you also have to face it later... so i ended up search for my results. And you know what?? I got all band 4 which are actually not really good.... and after i got to know other's, i felt miserable and terrible.... i'm the worst!!! Oh god!! Sad la... i'm now started to worry about my UAI which we can get to know by tomorrow. What will it be? I read the HSC booklet and to my horror, i found that if you get all 70, your UAI will be only 56!! Imagine!! Oh My GOD!! Help~~
Okay, apart from that, i'm gonna spill the beans here, revealing the drama happened in my college. It happened a few days ago... it's like someone and i named it TH was in-charge with the 2nd hand books selling, then another person and i named it HZ who was very busy body, he just take over the work because of he can't stands with the way TH works, i was like what the hell is he doing, it's totally none of his business.... so kaypo. He always thinks he is good in everything, and he's arrogant, just like last time when we played the volleyball, he actually don't know how to play, then he read some books and got to know roughly how to play, and he acts like he is very good in volleyball... teach other people how to play somemore, even "invented" new way to serve the ball.... what could i say somemore to his kind of person?? This kind of people just tends to piss me off!

Alumni Night

It's been pretty hectic these days. Lee Xin and I went to queensbay on Friday... it's huge, we went at lunch time and there is a long queue in every restaurant available inside, we are soo hungry at that time and so we ended up having our lunch by eating only bread. We didn't stay long at there, only about like an hour something, then we left. Maybe you'll shocked, but true, really.. it's because we didn't go inside the jusco and we just walk along the shoplets outside and you know... there is not really much shops open yet... so we just like went to Gurney after that.
Last night was the Alumni night. But it looks more like prom night. Everyone dressed up and they all look totally different from what i used to see... the girls become so pretty and the guys become so handsome. here goes the pictures :

-Hui Ling's wearing skirt!! 1st time ever!!- Hui Ling, in case you see this, no offence-

- Chung Ling girls in INTI-

- me and my roommie, Jia Shuen, she looks so different!!-

- pretty girls except me-

- err.... i forgot what is the guy's name that surrounded by beauties, ooh!! and Mr. Goh too...-

it's pretty fun at there although their programs are quite boring... it's fun because we met up with friends that didn't see for 2 months. We were just enjoying ourselves by taking pictures around and chatting around. The food... what should i say, i think it's ok only although it's quite expensive, not what i've expected. Unfortunately... there is someone who is very annoying in my table, Mr Polar Bear, not to mention his name... he is like soooooo damn annoying and obnoxious, hey!! I think you should go back to kindergarten and learn what are manners!! Darn it!!

As a conclusion, everyone looks so different on that day. I think it should called alumni prom night, what do you think?? pretty good?? goood!! My eyes are closing now...i better go to sleep now. So, good night!!

KL trip

i'm back from KL. It's just a small trip to attend my cousin's wedding and shopping. When i was in KL, as usual, i was greeted with traffic jam, how nice... okay, because of the time constraint, i just went to Time Square and KLCC for a while. And you know what, i didn't buy any clothes there, honest!! well, i did bought a couple of books and a pair of shoes, not much, really!! Although it was only a few hours walk... my legs were so damn sore and even got a big bruise thanks to my sandals and me sis's high heels. The bruise i got this time is not because of i fell down but it's because of the metal plate on the shoes.
Advice to girls:
- never wear sandals or high heels when you go shopping if you are not the kind that wears it everyday, you'll suffer.... trust me!
Then on the other day, we went to visit my aunt's new born grandson, which is my nephew and also my 2-year-old niece.

- christmas tree inside Time Square-

- christmas tree inside KLCC- which 1 nicer?-

- me and my cute niece-

- the views of KL from where i stayed-

Untitled

I'm going to KL tomorrow, yay! Sadly my Genting trip has been canceled off due to the problem of transportation. But, i would like to stay in cyber jaya for a few days since my sister is there, maybe... The only thing that i'm headache about is that my sister, make me write a 10 pages assignment and hand in to her by tomorrow or else i have to pay for my own shopping expenses... well, it was my fault too as she gave me this assignment months ago and i done nothing about it yet.. i admit that i'm kinda lazy to do but hey, what can i write until up to 10 pages ar?? It's like i have to write about what am i going to study next year and what is my choices of course that i might be taken.. and where will i go and so on and on... oh god...help me... although i'm quite excited about going to meet her but this assignment makes me want to stay a distance with her... what should i do?? looks like the only choice i have is to complete it and hand in to her by tonight... okay, fine. i'll do it!! But by using my quite limited english vocabulary and my lousy grammer.... can she understands what am i writing?? Don't care dee la, as long as i do it for her... but what if she dun want to accept it? is that mean that i have to redo?? DON WANT!!!

Rambling, please ignore this post..

Sad la..Sad la... why is like when everyone is busy while i'm free and when the time i'm busy, they are free? It's so difficult to ask people to go out... like today, i'm trying to ask May, Kai Xin, Loo Hoang, Lee Xin, Justin and Jeremy to go out, but then...... May and Kai Xin are busying with their things... Lee Xin cannot come out, Jeremy going to KL, Justin... I dun really know... other than they all.. Hui Peng...Who i think should be free... is busying with her Form 6 tuition.. i feel pity towards form 6 students. It's like even during holiday...they have to go to the replacement classes, tuition and so on.. if not, they will be left far far behind dee... and Yik Han..can't even come out because she got classes in her matriculation course... weng hong and jeffrey.... busy with their final exams and assignment.. so, who else can i ask for?? So sad...

I'm back!! and here i am, back to my home, sitting infront of my computer, updating my blog!!

Yunnan was fun, you can shop everywhere and everyday, hehe, sad though i didn't bought alot... their stuffs were cheap, and you can bargain until you satisfied with the price, if you don't bargain with them, you'll go and knock your head off when you found out the price others' paid for the exactly same item. Bargain also required special skills in China you know, first, you make the price very very low, like about a quarter of the price shopkeeper offered, if they refused, then you go a bit more higher until a certain level, if they insisted not, then you leave, most of them will call you back and give you the price you wanted for... sadly I don't have the skill and i'm very soft-hearted in this kind of thingy. Thank god there are some people who are very good in bargaining, so they help me out. hehe :)
Food, quite nice but they were in huge propotion, and none of us manage to finish up those food, what a waste.... but according to my tour guide, in China, if the food are finished, meaning they don't served enough food for us and then later they will get scolded. weird culture...
Toilets, thing i must say, OH MEEE GAWD!!! without doors!! not all la, some... well, i avoid to go in this kind of toilet.... =.=''''''' but those china people feel nothing at all, they go in like no one there, i'm speechless about that.....
People, they spit everywhere, not a good habit and i think it's kinda..... disgusting and somemore, there are a lot of smokers in china, you can smell the cigarrete smell everywhere... pity my poor nose, like torturing my nose with the smoke...
okay, apart from that, china was a nice place with a lot of scenic spot. Shi Ling or stone forest, a 5 star rated scenic spot in china, one of the world heritage, over 200 million years ago, it was a vast sea, years past and the geographic sturcture changed and so the stone forest formed. You'll be amazed by the naturally formed rocks, no doubt. Nature is the top-notch sculptor that carved out the shape of the rocks. Don't believe me?? later i'll put up the pic and let you guys see yourself as picture speaks more than words.
Another scenic spot, jiu xiang. it's a cave with 336 steps inside, the stalactite and stalagmite amazingly formed in different shapes and you can see waterfall inside the cave somemore, cool ain't it?? it's a very rare case to have a waterfall inside a cave and here got one. oh, and the fish inside the cave's river are blind, could you believe that??? The fish had eyes many years ago, but since they live in cave without sunlight, so they degenerated and eventually became blind today.
Jade dragon snow mountain, also one of the world heritage, more than 6000 metres in height but human beings only manage to reach 5000 something and cannot go further up anymore. so it's still a virgin mountain, not yet conquered by man. The top of the mountain 365 days covered with snow. When i gone up the mountain, i noticed that the snow is no longer snow, it had became ice because of the low temperature..
The old town in Lijiang, it was there since more than 500 years ago, also a world heritage, well preserved until today and it had became a commercial centre where the houses inside has been occupied and turned into shops.
Jade water village, has the clearest water in China. The only place in China where the water remain unpolluted. The water clear until the state that you can see the bottom of the pond. And they breed salmon fish inside, salmon fish can only live in very clean water and low temperature. So if they can live in Jade water Village, meaning the water is really really clean.
All the scenic spot i mentioned above are all 4 to 5 stars rated scenic spot in China and also some of them are world heritage. But of course, there are some other places we went that i'm unable to explain all.... well, our tour guide also brought us to some places that are not in our itinerary, mostly shopping area, like place where you can buy silver, jade, silk, crystal, etc... oh! and some shopping street which we request our tour guide to bring us there. I'll post the pictures in my next post.

What A Very Busy Day

phew... i am very busy these days....yeah, that's right, I AM very BUSY!! Busy of sitting around, walking around, eating around, watching drama series all day long... okay, serious... apart from that, i'm actually busy of packing my baggage and shop for things necessary for my trip. :) Yah!! I'm going to China early in the morning tomorrow... and so there won't be any posting until i'm back. Yunnan...hmm... it's a very beautiful place.. and the place called Li Jiang somewhere in Yunnan is the world heritage, wow!! It must be having a very very very beautiful scenery... i'm gonna shot a lot of pictures there..hehe!! Will there cold?? Dunno why i always have a feeling that it's not that extremely cold, because Yunnan is in the down south of China. But i dunno, i better prepare something for just in case it's too cold. okay, i better go to continue to do my last minute packing. I'll post up nice pictures of Yunnan when i'm back!

Acupuncture

Okay, I went to do acupuncture again, it's not that i like to do it...but it is because my poor leg is still not completely recovered yet... this time, i was poked in with three needles, pain?? Of course!!! Very pain this time, i also dunno why... not only pain, when they got the correct place they wanted to poke in the needle... Ohhhh, that feeling really terrible... whole part of that particular area, you'll tend to feel energyless...

-see??-

When Freedom Becomes Boredom

When freedom becomes boredom...hmm....what should i do?? Well, actually i'm not really that bored on the past few days, i've got activities since thursday and end on today. So, next week i'll be superb free....what should i do to feel up my days??
Put that aside. okay, these few days i went out almost everyday, not only that, it's whole day. it's like i woke up in the morning, then i went to penang shopping and come back at like 5 p.m. then i have to go to Lay Buddhist Association at night to prepare for their students convocation, when i reached home, it's already like almost midnight, this kind of routine last for 3 days and i'm almost exhausted....okay... let see... my activities:

thursday, i went out with May and Kaixin, watched happy feet, those penguins are soooo cute and their tap dancing are awesome....lovin' it. At night, went to Lay Buddhist Association

Friday, actually not going anywhere until night after dinner, i went shopping..

Saturday, morning, i went shopping, again.... when i came back, went to Lay buddhist Association, again, until midnight...tired..

Sunday, stay at home.... going no where.... eh....got... i went to meeting for our camp in december... after that...have my tea time with Yik Han, Kwong Yew, Beng Poh, Chong Lin, Hui Khim and Wei Huang...i think i'm gonna packed in a few kilograms dee.... i ate a lot...

so, last night was the convocation, it was fun actually.... those little kids are sooo cute, i helped them with the make-up and i was in-charged with the drama performance and so i helped to dress up those little actors.

-little tripitaka, in chinese known as tang san zang and me. Actually he is one of my student-

Back to my topic, okay, i'm free from today onwards, i have nothing to do... fine, i admit that i like to be free, but when there is too much of nothing, it's kinda bored. Those feelings, can't explain, like being isolated.... you dunno what is your friends doing.... what is the latest vogue... no more gossiping...hehe... and others..... okay fine...maybe i'll find something to do....go shopping again...or maybe call up someone to hang out with... hopefully there are someone who free to let me hang out with...

I'm going to vacation on the coming saturday, meaning next week...just 1 week to go before my vacation, yay!! okay, maybe i'm not that bored actually...i dunno....

Holidays!!

It's holiday.... but dunno why i feel so empty.... i have this feeling since the very next day of my holiday...dunno why, just can't explain the feeling... i supposed to be happy right?? but i'm not really happy... can anyone tell me why??? It just like i've nothing to do, but actually i have things to do...i have to prepare things for the convocation of those little kids in the sunday class...well..i'm a volunteer teacher of sunday class... i have to go to lay buddlhist society like almost every night to finish up their performance accessories, their convocation is on this saturday, and i'm still not sure i can finish up those stuff or not....
on a happy thought, my sister is coming back on tomorrow afternoon, yay!! Gonna make her bring me go shopping...muahahaha!! i'm like rotting inside the house dee....nothing to do whole day until night only i getta go out... not enjoying...but doing work...never mind..since i'm going out tomorrow...yay!!movie!!with Kai Xin and May..i think...ahh...watever...as long as i getta go out...
Though i have nothing to do...but something just keep bothering me... haih..and again, i have to decide what should i study later on...i'm now considering taking up accountancy..is it a good choice?? pretty good..i guess...the pay is high(according to my sis), i can work independently after a few years, i can open my very own accountant firm, i can arrange my own working time if i can work independently... this is the positive sides i think about an accountant, on the negative sides, i have to go through 3 years of very exhausting period..... and got lotsa papers to take to get the approved certificate like ACCA, i think 16 papers...wow....and it is very though to go through all these papers...so, should i go for it?? hmm....
on another happy thought. I'm going to yunnan on 25 november....yay!! and only will be back on 2 december... i getta see snow there...yay!!but it's on the top of a mountain...nvm....as long as i getta see snow...i love snow...but never experiance before, so i must really enjoy my very first experiance..
on a totally different topic, yesterday, i undergo an acupuncture treatment, my very first time, hah!! the feelings, got a bit pain, but not really pain, but sometimes you'll tend to feel the area the needle poked into you energyless...and i was poked in with two needles... T.T i was so shocked when the doctor told me that she wants to do acupuncture on me, i was like huh?? are u serious?? and she says, not pain 1 la....so..i only say ok...but i was really terrified when she says i need to do acupuncture treatment on my leg since i sprained my leg 1 month ago and i only seeked for a doctor yesterday, i think i hurt my nerve or something, thats why the doctor wanted to do acupuncture on me...
well, nothing else special happen, since Hui Peng who studies form 6 is having exams now and Yik Han's matriculation classes just started....
I wanna go out!!!

Freedom

Put that aside. So, today after my exam, i went to gurney directly with Vicky, Jia Shuen, Rui Ken and Vicky's boyfriend. We went for shopping and movie!! oh!!We went to try out those evening gowns, geez...those gowns are soo pretty, but it's quite expensive, one suit is like hundred and something, so i decided not to buy it. Oh well, and since i have 3 at home...just forget about it... but i like those gowns soo much!!we also shopped for cloths as well!! :) After that, Jia Shuen, Rui Ken and me watched flushed away..its amusing and quite entertaining.

Happy Mooncake Festival

Mooncake Festival is over dee....
well.. we had a mooncake festival party on wednesday...cool huh!! Ya..i know it is a bit early but that is the best day for all of us.... We had a lot of fun that day...about 23 people joined the party...we had barbeque that night, after that we played games... it was so fun!!! But in the end, we end up all wet as the party turns into water war.. I even slipped down and got a big bruise on my leg...so pain...haih, careless me... nevermind... since it was so fun that time and I didn't even care about my leg... it has been a long time since the last time i played water war...hehe
here are some pictures during our party:

nice pic huh!!

BBQ-ing

nice lantern behind us

The rest of the week just flew by.... oh..last night is the actual date for mooncake festival..Loo Hoang, KaiXin, May, Yee Yong, Eileen and me took lantern and walked around our hostel, we are like a bunch of little kid that never played lantern before..haha!!But unfortunately there is no moon that night...what we can only see is haze.....
We also took pictures as a memory for our hostel days... we took every part of the hostel that is related to our daily lives like the stairs, corridor, balcony, entrance and the most important....our room!!

Exams coming~~~~ arhhhhh...............

Aiyaya~~~

what a boring week....nothing special happened....doing nothing except sleeping.... but since exam is coming in two weeks time...*sob sob* arh........ i hate exam..... exams should be demolished....why must we have exam??? study until crazy for 6 days exam...??!? Killing brain cells y' know?!? it's not good for health as well......

and....my hand being stung by a bloody mosquito until my hand swelled...it is so itchy and pain... *sob sob*...you see....

my big fat hand after mosquito bites

my normal size hand

thank god i get to go out on friday.... 7 of us which are Rachel, Hui Ling, Justin, Boon Yong, Wye Sern, Rui Ken and me of course went to gurney to watch Devil Wears Prada... great movie... lovin' it.... after that we went to gurney drive to have our dinner.... it was really a typical tourist centre... the prices are expensive and the foods is average only....for your information, this is the 1st time i went to gurney drive to have my dinner if i'm not mistaken though i went to gurney for so many times...

study!! study!!study!! OMG i hate this word!!

Changes

Well... it has been 9 months since I study in INTI.. and I've adapted to the environment around and found out that actually it is not as bad as what i thought at the first time....you can refer to the 1st post New Born(actually it is not typed by me, obviously). But some still remain the same..... like the prices of the food in the canteen is still so expensive and I am already numb towards it.... Walking through the great steps of IICP is still so tiring.... never mind... just 1 month left!!

Things that change...
My perspectives towards my friends changes.. it is so unbelievable that those people I don't like at the first time became my good friends... after mixing with them, I found out that they are not as bad as what I think....we cannot judge a book with its cover, appearance is only what we can see physically but how a person behaves and their personalities is much more important.

Another thing...
Do you know the Rasa Sayang Resort in Batu Ferringhi? It has been renovated since 2 years ago and will be re-opening on 28 september...wow...new facilities have been added such as spa....The resort's name has also changed from Rasa Sayang Resort to Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa. But of course, it is very expensive... Here are some pictures of Rasa Sayang Resort :

The night view of Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa

The View of Rasa Sayang Resort and Spa

I've taken these photos from the opposite of this resort which is Sri Sayang....well, the name is quite the same..both got "sayang" but it is totally different... Rasa Sayang is a 5 star hotel while Sri Sayang is only an apartment...well.. it is cheaper of course if compared to Rasa Sayang...

Changes occur around us everyday, no matter you like it or not, it will also happen. The changes that i listed is just what i can see... what about those that i can't see?? so, we must accept and learn how to adapt to the changes so we can live "peacefully" and not being interrupted by those "changes". Well, of course that are some changes that are not relevent to us, but what's wrong just to know? Just like the Rasa Sayang resort, no matter it changed or not... i won't go there and stay for fun... do you know how expensive it is??!?? There are some changes which are fun, such as the changes in our technology. I have read an article recently and found out that our genetic technology today has produced a featherless chicken, fun isn't it? haha!! It does not really matter to me but it is fun to know what's happening in our world today.

So, hope all the people in this world can live peacefully with those changes around them and have fun with those changes.

The 90/10 Principle by Stephen Covey

Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life. What is the 90/10Principle? 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life isdecided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no controlover 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down.The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. Adriver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. Theother 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction.

You cannot control a red light, but you can control your reaction. Don't letpeople fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example:

You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cupof coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what justhappened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse.You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over.She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse andcriticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. Ashort verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Backdownstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finishbreakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse mustleave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter toschool. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speedlimit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, youarrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without sayinggoodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgotyour briefcase. Your day has started terribly. As it continues, it seems toget worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home,you find a small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter.Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?

A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is D. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened:

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gentlysay,"It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time." Grabbinga towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase,you come back down in time to look through the window and see your childgetting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early andcheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you arehaving.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same.Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED.

You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90%was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle:

If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let theattack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negativecomment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrongreaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed outetc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose yourtemper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheelfall off! Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try andbump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let thecars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry aboutit.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It willwork out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job.

The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why takeout your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get toknow the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make thingsworse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at theresults. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle isincredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions ofpeople are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache.There never seem to be a success in life. Bad days follow bad days. Terriblethings seem to be constantly happening. There is constant stress, lack ofjoy, and broken relationships.

Worry consumes time. Anger breaks friendships and life seems dreary and isnot enjoyed to the fullest. Friends are lost.
Life is a bore and often seems cruel. Does this describe you? If so, do notbe discouraged. You can be different! Understand and apply the 90/10principle. It will change your life!!
