New Year's Resolution

New Year's Resolution

2011 is going to the end. Obviously, it's time to make a reflection.

In 2011,
I went to Perlis for the first time.
I took plane back from Alor Setar to LCCT alone.
I've been awarded a scholarship from Nilai UC.
I work as a telemarketer, earn the first salary in my life.
I went into the haunted house for the first time of my life.
I drank beer and got a bit dizzy and vomited in the end, well, first time as well.
I learnt how to take public transportation, it seemed to be impossible for me to take a bus to Seremban last year. xD

Good things were listed as above, it's time to see what mistake I made during the year.

In 2011,
I chose Matrikulasi over Nilai UC, but at the end I went to Nilai UC. As a result, I have wasted too much money on air ticket and re-buying some necessities.
Lesson : Compare the choices, make the best decision, and live it on. Do not look back as you may regret.

Nilai UC canteen serves food at a big portion, in order not to waste food, I always finished whatever is on my plate. Hence, I gained weight by a lottttttt!
Lesson : Bring a container next time so that I can keep the leftover when I'm full. Save myself from going obese!

In Nilai UC, I met a lot of great people. They all have big dreams, and they do not only dream, they did their best to achieve it as well.
Lesson : It doesn't matter how big is your dream, as long as it keeps you moving, that dream should be kept in your mind and heart.

More and more to go, but I'm not going to post anything more bout it, because it's already 11.30pm, I'm afraid I can't come out my resolutions by 2012.

All right, here come the new year's resolutions!

In 2012,
1. I want to lose weight! (The most important, or else I couldn't fit in any size of the shirt at the end of 2012)
2. I want to get a part time job. (It's always better to have extra money)
3. I want to remain my scholarship with the highest pointer I can get. (Even 4.0 seems impossible, but please keep it as my motivation)
4. I want to pick up my chess skill. (I brought the whole chess set and notes to NUC, but I always don't have time for it. Stalie, time management is important, save time for more beneficial things rather than facebook-ing and playing games)
5. I want to get involved in some charity work. (Harvest learning centre if possible)
6. I want to read more books! (Stop focusing on fiction novel, mum is getting mad with you!)
7. Register the French language course even though I do not have companion. (Sometimes, you just have to get used to being alone.)
8. Practice healthy lifestyle. (Sleep early, wake up early, more exercise, balanced diet)

Happy New Year everyone, may everything have a good beginning for you in 2012.

May what it will be, it'll be.

Hello readers,

I'm having some kind of relationship problem over these few days and crying over and over again bout it. Well, I'm sure you all noticed that my finals have just started. Tsk tsk..
How can my mood be influenced so easily at this critical moment? Hahas, it doesn't matter now.

I seriously don't want to think about all those thing for now. Well, what should not I be enjoying the moment? What should I be worrying about things that may or may not happen?

To my readers,

Remember this thing.

Though it might be hard to let go sometime,
though it might hurt but never last,
listen to your heart,
hold on to things that you don't want to let go,
at least make some effort before you truly giving up,
enjoy if you like it,
though you might ask yourself does it worth,
but sometimes,
you just have to understand what is
live your life with no regret.

Last but not least,
what it will be, it'll be that way.

I'm not deciding to hold on or to give up this relationship, yet I decide to enjoy all those joy that he bring to me. I stop asking myself does it worth, but I asked myself to enjoy and not regret.

Does not matter if he will be here long or not,
God sent him to me for some reasons,
learn to appreciate when things are still right,
learn to let go when things gone wrong,
and learn that if someone leaves,
it just simply means that their part in your story had just ended.

May what it will be, it'll be.
Stay strong, stay tough, and stay happy!

Good luck for the finals. Gambateh!

Dear Diary,

Long time I din't update you, and sorry for leaving you here alone for so long.

You know what? Bad things happen, always. I do not want to write them here, hope my diary serves the purpose of keeping memories, not bad things. That's why, forgive me.

But 1 thing I gotta mention here.

For the future Stalie,

Always remember and keep those promises you have made.
Never promise when you are happy.
Be rational.
Be less emotional.
Emotional is lively, but too much is burden.

Keep putting on quotes on the softboard, read them every day, I hope you learn something from it.

Best regards,
Old Stalie.

By the way, 2011 is coming to the end. How much you've gained this year? Not quite sure, but 1 thing for sure is gaining weights!

I'll be writing my resolution for the coming year. Finals is coming. Aim 4.0, get 4.0.
Don't think, just do.

First haunted house experience

It's a busy week but I'm lovin' it! Hehehe..

Start from Sunday, I went to guys' hostel to help out for the preparation for the charity sales thing. And, the charity sales starts from Tuesday. Eat a lot of things at the sales there, and the sales ended at Thursday. After I finished my telemarketing, then I straight away go to Sushi King as it was the last day of the promotion. Guess how much I save for the sushi? RM14! cause I was suppose to pay RM24 but the promotion price is only RM2 per plate! Weehehee

Well, the part after these is the scariest of all. Due to Halloween, Leo Club in my college are having Haunted House in the president hall. Well, we were lining up outside the President Hall, but I keep hearing people screaming and chain whacking at the door, it was like so freaky. But, the line will keep moving so I just have to go into the room. There was 2 ghost came out from the house and catching victims, it was suppose to be my turn but I was being too indecisive to go into. At last we all go in together. Unfortunately, we just sign up at the "Death Note", then I saw one pity guy with all those make up was holding a pail and not moving. Without giving him another thought, I start going in with my friends. When we just walked pass him, he suddenly throw the pail and start kicking the pail, come to our side and growling at us. Ew!!! Then, I ran out of the house ady. It seems that we were the only gang who ran out after the first ghost. SO COWARD!!

When we are about to leave, we met Allan and Vikash who offer to accompany us to go once more. Honestly, I don't want to go anymore cause I don't think I can take it anymore. But, Vikash was pushing my from behind and Allan is pulling from in front, and thats why I could not escape at all. However, I decide to stand with Vikash cause I know he is the type who will not leave me alone no matter what happen.

At some point in the house, I was about to cry but I keep holding on. Well, it was too much to explain here. If you really wanna know about it, ask me nextime, I'll tell you.

Anyway, thanks Vikash for keep holding me from behind, and Allan protect all of us from the beginning to the end.

Be Responsible to the Community

I realized that I have changed so much since I came to Nilai University College. Today, I'm just gonna to focus on my perception on social workers and volunteers.

For your information, Nilai UC Fun Club is organizing a series of event to gain RM10,000 donation and to raise awareness about hunger and poverty in Africa, in conjunction to the World Vision. I'm one of the helpers, we were having sales, dota tournament, facial treatment, magic performance and etc. Well, usually I hear about all these events, I was once anticipated to join Famine 30 Hours, but at the end, I din't get to join. Nowadays, Allan kept posting about World Hunger Day, telling us how many children die each day due to hunger, I mean looking at the statistics, it's really surprising.

Another girl, Boey Wong, she is a social worker in my class. In my opinion, she is a rich girl and who really loves to play around. In fact, she is a very caring person. She always go to the orphanage to help those orphans. That day, she came to me and want me to buy soap from her, it's an organic soap and the money will go to a fund to support the orphans. Heard from friends, she said about sponsoring children in Africa and China. I mean it is something quite meaningful, but not much people want to do it.

Then, Allan talked to me about the Magnum Competition, we have to come out with a project which will benefit the community. I think it is more likely to be a charity project. After all, I realize being responsible to the society is easy, probably when I was in Kuala Pilah, it's quite hard for me to do so.

Today I read a news regarding Harvest Learning Centre. It gave those refugee and rural area kids an opportunity to learn, to gain knowledge, to change their life. They believe that education can change their life, because these kids are not meant to be poor for their whole life, even though they were born in a poor family. They are refugee, they are not Malaysian, but they are humans, I think this learning centre really serves as a good platform for them to change for their life.

Now, I'm looking on more information about this centre. They need people to donate and to volunteer, I think I will find out more about volunteering in their programmes, hopefully they have something that I can fit into my life easily, because I think it is hard for me to explain the whole thing to my parents. Perhaps I have friends, which is you who are reading my blog, have the same thought with me as well. If you are interested, leave me a comment here or contact me via phone.

Take care all, and Happy Deepavali!

Big Bad Wolf

Does my title today sounds interesting?

I don't know your answer, but for me, it is. Well, it's a book sales name, and seriously, you can get really cheap stuff over there.

The BBW take place at MAEPS, Serdang this year. Well, MAEPS is quite a huge place, with a lifestyle park, can ride horses inside also, probably I'll be going there next time again. Talk about BBW, there got fiction, non-fiction, cooking, romance, children, self help, science fiction & fantasy and etc.

But guess how many books I bought today? Only 3! I know, 3 is quite little actually, but I could not find the books I want over there.

I bought For One More Day by Mitch Albom, Digital Fortress by Dan Brown and Slumdog Millionaire!

And, guess how much is all these books cost me? only RM24!

It's cheap, isn't it? I bet you have to pay more than RM100 for all 3 books in MPH.

Anyway, today is a tiring day. Class ended at 10am, then we take train to Serdang, reach there around 11.25 and took a taxi to MAEPS. Coming back from MAEPS and reach Serdang KTM Station around 2, but missed 1 train. Finally, reach Nilai KTM Station around 3pm. Then waited for the school bus until 3.35pm and once I get back to campus, quickly took my stuff and rushed back to the President Hall and wait for 4.15pm bus to Bus Station. Reach Kuala Pilah at 7pm! Phew, let's call it a day, I'm tired. Going to sleep, Nitez!

I believe in fate

Semester 2 had just started, and I was just too free. So, I ended up thinking nonsense these days. But, there's one thing I really wanted to mention here.

Fate. Do you believe in fate? I do.

Well, I chose KMP over NUC, but I ended up studying in NUC and I love this place gradually. In NUC, I met a lot of awesome friends. Well, I don't want to mention how awesome are they, just straight to the point, the close friends I have over here.

There is a total of 4 of us, Jodee, Joyce, Woon Ting, and I. Nothing much to talked about Woon Ting, but for sure 1 thing, she is a nice, pretty girl. Too bad, she already had a boyfriend.

Well, I came here on the 4th week of Semester 1, Joyce too, just a day later than me, wherelse Jodee came here on the 3rd week. Both of them came from Klang. For the first week, I was staying at Desa Palma, with Joyce as my roomate and Jodee as a classmate and staying at the same block.

The first day I came here, I approached Jodee first. I don't know why I talked to her at the ground floor of resource centre. But I can remember there was just a feeling " She must be my classmate." And YES! She's my classmate and both of us decided to do Accounting and Finance together in degree. Jodee is a Chinese who can't speak Mandarin, she was somehow frustrated for being trapped at here cause most of us speak Mandarin, but she can't. Then, she told me she's staying at Desa Palma too, I was overwhelmed that finally I have friends that can go to class and back to hostel together. Unfortunately, she got an air-conditioned room on the first day I came. So, I went back dissapointed. That night, Joyce moved in. She just finished her exam in Sunway University. She is a very cute girl, innocent, and I would say a little bit coward.

Joyce's friends at Sunway had told her about Jodee and asked her to take care of her at here. You know, how amazing is this? When we are all related together by some kind of special things. Jodee and I are classmate, Joyce and I are roomate. Jodee and Joyce from Klang, shares the same friends. A week later, I moved in to the air-conditioned room as well, Jodee is now my housemate, staying at the next door. Soon, Joyce will be moving in, most probably, tommorow, she will be staying in the same apartment.

At times, I've been thinking is it the correct choice I made to follow my mum's decision to study at here. And also, is it the right thing to do that I gave up the interview that I will stand a chance to get a scholarship to study abroad. But, now I would like to tell you, I am not regret at all for these decisions that I made, these people are amazing, they make my life to become a wonderful piece of memory.

P.S. I'm more and more like a Christian thinking, everytime I will think that it is God who made me choose this, and I believe in Him, that he loves me, and want me to grow up using his own way. Well, I believe all these influences are by Jodee and Joyce.

Dear diary,

I'm so sorry I din't come to see you often lately. Just a quickie of recent daily life. Play games, watch anime, read novel are the usual things I did at home during sem break. Well, went to yamcha with KP gang. Always obey the K.P. Law : never be punctual, 30 minutes late is perfect!

Also went to Mid Valley with my mum! She bought a shirt, and I bought body scrub and facial scrub from the body shop. Actually, I do want to buy that high heels, but feel like not quite suit with me, and I thought I could have find a better one.

Until today, I went to a few shopping mall and browse through the shops, I still couldn't find one. Suddenly, I'm despo to get that pair of high heels now, maybe I should take the train to Mid Valley and buy it, well, perhaps it's still on sales. Couldn't know how can I afford it if it's not on sales. ( Sales price = RM99.00)

This is the first time I felt so regret of not buying something. Sigh! Mummy said she met with Siang Yi's mum just now. Thought of calling her and I did, but she din't bring her phone, so couldn't meet her.

Another fact : I crossed two red light continuously today when driving back from Seremban! Woo-hoo! Couldn't find the right word to say, but I know, it's dangerous. Freaking tired now, good-nite all! Muacks! sweet dream.

Sincerely,
Stalie.

Sem break

Oh hello!

Sorry for din't update quite a long time, and it's all thanks to Mervin Chee, cause he's been asking me to update my blog to keep it alive.

Well, nothing much to talk about. I just had my last paper - Management of Sem 1 in NUC. Frankly, I don't think I can score well in this paper, made me feel so worry about the pointer after I finished this paper.

Anyway, I haven't gone back to Kuala Pilah for 2 weeks, but I'll be going back tomorrow. Home Sweet Home!

Oh ya, I helped out on the graduation day, made a few new friends, Jamie, Jane, Carry, Siew Ping. Siew Ping is in final sem of OBUAF, which is the degree course I would pursue later on. She said she can passed me her old books. Happy! One more thing, there are people who sell bouquet of flowers on that day, but they couldn't finish selling all of them, at the end of the day, they offer us RM10 for 2 bouquet.
Just the thought of buying myself a bouquet of flower on graduation day yet I'm not a graduand did really make me laugh, so I ended up not buying any of them.

That's all for now. See yah! =)

annual review of post

Tadaa!

That's the thing I always do - review my post, give myself comment in myself, laugh at myself for being so super childish and the last thing is feel like wanted to create a new blog again so that when others read my blog, they will never know I was once so childish.

Actually, what do I mean by childish?? It's like I'm pretending to be mature, but I'm not at all, made it looked like more stupid and naive.

Ew. I think that's all for this post. See you guys in the next post =)

Birthday celebration

Hey guys, I wonder if you guys still remember my birthday. Well, it's on 12 July.

On that day, I wonder why my mood just isn't good and my friends invited me to have dinner at Thinking Cup (cafe). I wasn't really wanted to go at first because I feel like so lazy and wanna stay inside my room. Then, that night, Woon Ting scared me first and I was talking to Jeslyn that time, so I din't give her much respond. All of them got a bit nervous and worry cause they never wished me Happy Birthday, but there's nothing to do with them.

Then, we just eat, chit chat and blarh blarh. Joyce keep on talk to Jodee and Ming Huey, made me a little suspicious. Well, at last, Joyce and Ming Huey said wanna go to toilet together, and I din't pay much attention to them. But, when I turn to face the other side, I saw both of them talk to the waitress. Well, I got more suspicious lorh. Then, soon enough, a waiter bring in my birthday cake with those plates and forks. I had my own piece of blueberry cheese cake, and the rest of them, total of 6 of them have to share two piece of cake ( I suppose, not too sure cuz it was cut into small small pieces ) Then, Joyce gimme my present, it's a bag! Muahaha, I love you guys, it's from Joyce, Ming Huey and Jodee. Thanks cause I really need a bag.

Coincidentally, a fly dropped into Ming Huey's milo. Then, we asked for a new one. But, she don't feel like drinking anymore, so we decided to play a game " Guess the number." I'm the one who set the number, whoever guess my number, they have to drink it. At first, it's only Milo Ice, then Edwin add in Teh Ice. When we play for a while, we started to add biscuit that Rex brought from his hometown, then cream and cake, crushed the cherry and more and more.

I'm glad that I can escape that day, but at last they force me to take a few sip. Then, we went to canteen and chit chat while waiting for the fun fries. That night, Joyce wanted to come over to my room to sleep together, cuz I'm taking single premium and her roomate wasn't going back that night. But Ming Huey wanted all four of us sleep together, so Jodee has to move her mattress from her room ( just next door ) and sleep on the floor with Ming Huey.

Guess what? The next morning I had stomachache, so do Ming Huey, Woon Ting, Joyce and Edwin. Only Rex and Jodee were too lucky lorh.

Anyway, I had great night with guys. Thanks Joyce, Jodee, Ming Huey, Woon Ting, Rex and Edwin.

P.S. Joyce, I never thought that you keep my present in your backpack cause you just always bring it with you, so I don't feel weird that you brought the backpack with you that night. A great surprise!

presentation



Hello guys. Sorry, life in NUC is quite busy yet joyful, din't have much time to blog. Well, I just went through my first presentation in NUC, quite an experience and I hope I'll do better next time. I hope I did my presentation within 5 minutes. Actually, I thought of uploading my video of presentation but don't think anyone will look at it. Moreover, it is not a full video, the recording starts when I went on to the second slide.

Oh yah, I never mention about make up right? Ew, it's weird. I mean I keep on experimenting with the color of eyeshadow. I tried purple with blue, it become so extreme until I feel like I am a sissy from Thailand. Then I try with white and brown. White as the beneath layer makes it look too sharp, so I reverse it. Yet, on Tuesday, my friends all said that brown color look fine so I just stick with brown only. Nevertheless,it's tiring to wake up so early to bath n make up, but I eventually know how to make up. I make sure I'll learn more of it and never be so kelam kabut anymore. Ew, I feel like this post is so messy until I myself also duno what am I writing. Guess it's because I'm watching Astro Singing competition and the kids are too good, amazing. They rocks! Awesome performance.

Tsk Tsk.. guess I'm running out of the topic. Aite, got lots more work to do. I'll update soon.

A day without class

As I have mentioned in my last post, I got no class on last Thursday. Nevertheless, I had spent half of my day in the library just to complete my slideshow for the presentation. Guess what? I woke up at 7, get myself prepared and took breakfast with friends at the cafeteria. Well, it's the first roti canai I had in NUC, it's not as good as I expected, but never try never know, so I'm not regret at all even though it's a bit expensive.

I went to library at 9, do my slideshow until 2pm and then went to have my lunch. Well, the morning its not as enjoyable even that I know it's a free day that day, because too many things happened and all those just ruined my mood. I wouldn't specify what actually happened on that day, but if you want to know, I can tell you secretly. Shhhh, keep it as our secret, ok? =P
After lunch, I borrow my friend's laptop to finish my slideshow until 4pm. I was too tired and couldn't bear to wait for my friends to return to the apartment together. It was the first time I at NUC that when I reached my room, I just fall asleep. Woke up at 5pm, because I promised my friends to go to the mini concert with them.

Well, that night was quite enjoyable. Hehe, big contrast with the day. It's a music workshop and mini concert by David Story. He's awesome, he's a singer, composer, song writer. He travelled to many places and get inspiration to create new songs, and he loves to share those experience with us. It's only 1 hour thingy, he can only perform a few song, but the last song was the best! Of course, he wasn't there for free, they try to promote his disc and necklace. I bought both of them for 30 only. Well, it's cheap though when you see the price, but a bit expensive if you find him not that famous. yet I like his songs. When I went back, I play the CD and I think live performance is better.

I knew a new friend in the mini concert, name is Edwin from Foundation in Science. He had vouchers for Domino's and Pizza Hut. We called for Domino's delivery and had 3 pizzas that night. Well, just 5 minutes after the call, we realized that Pizza Hut promotion is more worthy and we called back to cancel it. But they just reply " The pizza is in the oven." =(
Edwin told us that if they couldn't make it within 30 minutes, the pizzas are for free, and we kept praying that they will be late and etc. I suggested that we should hide when they are here, and turn up when half an hour is gone, and we'll just gonna tell them " Hey, you're late! Give me the pizzas for free. " ( Hahahas, I bet I just read too much of Confession of a shopaholic, I just talk and think like the way of Rebecca. ) But we just walk to them when we saw they reach and after that we realized that they will send us a message " your pizzas arrived." as a record that they never exceed the time.

After having pizzas, we went to President Hall, because Life Science Society having blah blah closing ceremony, we just went in to have a look. Gosh! It's beautiful. they make an alleyway in the middle, put on red carpet, switch off all the lights, but leave some light bulbs on. Put curtains on the side of the alley, roses and grapevines around. It's just so romantic! I love that place, we all just took photos, and really silly photos. By the way, tell you a little secret. We think that we are the people who pulled down the curtain but we can never fix it and we try to leave at the moment. Maybe we are acting too suspicious, a group of Indian guys called us but we never reply and just run away. Ahahas :D
And then we saw guys are practising street dance at the studio at second floor. Joyce and Jo Dee waved hands at those guys, well, I don't know why, but I just find it embarassing but we ended up run away.

Have a lot of fun that night, thanks to Joyce, Jo Dee, Wan Ting and Edwin! I love you guys, we should hang out more together! =D

life in NUC

Hi everyone!

I promised that I will post about my life at Nilai University College a.k.a NUC, and here I come!

This is my third week in NUC. Everything went well yet there is so many assignments to do and I still feel homesick once in a while.

I was late than other coursemate by 3 weeks, on the first lesson I had, which is management class. My teacher told me that he will give us a class test on next Wednesday. As a scholar, I have to bear in mind that I cannot drop to below 3.5 and I am not sure is the mark of the class test taken into calculation of the CGPA. So, I read thrice just to prepare myself for the class test. But, the teacher never turn up and a librarian took over the class, brought us for a tour in library and make the test as a open book test. I was really mad that time, thinking that why should I study so hard when the rest are keep playing, yet we will all get the same score.

So, that's for the last week. Then, another news came to me this Monday. I will have my mid term test for Accounting subject on next Monday, gotta start prepare as soon as possible. Then, at the same day, my English teacher told me that the questionnaire we have prepared earlier, have to be distributed to the students and get responses from them. We will analyse the data and prepare slide show for the oral presentation, which everyone was given 4 minutes to talk about their part. This is ok, but what make me feel hard is that as a girl, I am required to put light make up and wear high heels for the actual presentation. Well, I don't make up as you guys know, how could I be possible to leave them a great first impression for the examiner on the particular day?

Let's move on to other assignments. I have to do my journal by tonight, because I got to hand in tomorrow and I have no confidence in writing journal because everyone had wrote once, but I had no experience. Also, I was given economic assignment, which is to find out the economic of a specific company or country and this assignment carry 20% of the final exam. Gosh, that's many to do. So, I hope you guys can see now, that college life is not as easy as you thought.

For those who had read my status in facebook, surely will know that monkeys had broke into my apartment. I had taken picture and I will make another post just for that funny and thrilling incident.

See ya guys, I am really tired now, go and take a nap and start prepare for the test and my script.

P.S. I got no class on tomorrow. Huuray!

Happy birthday, yan!

It's 10 June, Yan and Choon birthday, Happy birthday to both of you ( I don't think Choon will read my blog anyway )

Well, Yan invite us to a " Hey hey romantic party " which is supposed to be her birthday celebration party, name doesn't matter, yet I still think it's special, cause she is the only one who will keep on thinking on doing different things that usual people will not do.

I bought her a cute pinky little pig, which holds a crocodile clip, clip some small notes or paper, and the piggy head is actually a pen, I find it quite special and I hope you will like it!

I met a lot of old friends in this gathering or so call party, out of my expectation, they are all the same, the way they thought and act seems to be the same to me, I'm glad though, because I was actually worried that I won't be able to get along with them since I haven't meet them for some time and we won't be able to blend our life experience and topics well together.

Anyway, it's fun. Thanks for inviting me to your birthday party, it's small, but I like it, simple and nice, friendly people, lovely gifts, funny conversation and lots more to name. Hehe =)

It's 11.50pm now ( please don't look at the time that I post, it's not the actual time ) and once again I wanna wish you Happy Birthday before your birthday end. Wish everything goes well with you and all the best in your study and future. I don't really agree with the phrase " friends forever" but I'll have to tell you that I'll remember all of you forever, whoever attend the celebration tonight, especially Rudy Ng, cause he is the one who ask me not to forget him before I leave.

Happy Birthday!

P.S. Sorry that I write my happy birthday wishes on the white color paper cause I couldn't fine any nicely decorated paper and I am really bad in doodling.

advices regarding matriculation and college life

Hello guys, I'm back.

Well, I've quit matrikulasi just right after the orientation week over there. Most of the people ask why? Just to give you guys an insight of KMP ( different with other campus ) KMP is a great place to study. Their lecturers are almost originally the UUM lecturers, I would recommend those who wish to apply Perakauan for Matrikulasi to choose KMP as it is really well known for Perakaunan.

Secondly, KMP brings you a different experience than your secondary school life. I'm a Chinese from Chinese school, and so you could have imagine how many Chinese I've been with for the past 17 years. If you go to matrik, you won't be able to find that much Chinese. For the KMP first intake, we only got 60++ non-bumis out of 1500 students. Not sure for the second intake, maybe it'll increase til 80++ just like how last batch did.

My advice is : Don't try to stick with Chinese only when you get into matrik. It's a new environment, new life, so just adapt and get used to it. From my only week experience, what I can see is Chinese tends to stick with Chinese, they seldom interact with Malay, they don't sit together and Chinese tends to be more picky or choosy than Malays. If you are a Chinese, just admit it, I'm sure you've said something like this " I hate the lecturer, he doesn't know how to teach and blah blah blah. " But Malays, never speak of anything like this. So Matrikulasi give you a chance to learn from Malays about the good thing, learn from each other.

Thirdly, homesick problem. Homesick is a common thing that happened in usual students. Cannot say all, because there is always an exception. In this case, just try to join the activities they organize. Involving and enjoy it without thinking of how people will think of you if you are acting so crazy. That's the thing I learn from Matrikulasi. Some friends I had there, they are reluctant to join, don't want to sing together, dance together, while watching other people having fun, the only thing they can do is sigh and keep on saying wanted to go back home. It's usual, true, I've been crying over and over because of homesick. My room mates know about it, seniors know about it and my friends all know about it. It's not a shame to admit, everyone will miss home, HOME SWEET HOME! At first, I thought that Perlis is way too far from Kuala Pilah, I won't be able to go home so frequently and that's the reason I cry. But after I came to Nilai UC, same thing happened. Every Sunday my parents just drop me at the hostel and leave, I'll feel like crying but it takes some time, join my friend and chit chat just make me feel better. Getting into a packed timetable, have no time to think of other things just make my life easier and feel fully occupied.

Lastly, to whoever went to college, or going to college, please drop your secondary school life behind (advice from Mr. Lam) College life is new, is different. Some says college life is about freedom, go class whenever you want, play whenever you want, eat whenever and wherever you want. True enough, if you are only looking for freedom in your college life. In my opinion, my college life is not only about a thirst for knowledge, but also to socialize, join different groups and activities and learn more things so that I'm advanced or ahead of the others. Society nowadays are really competitive, we all know, so accept it and do whatever you can to help yourself.

Difference between f6 and college : Form 6 is a one shot exam, frankly speaking, it takes a lot of effort to excel and courage to take the risk. One shot exam means you bet the 2 years effort, gambling, and if you're doing well, get flying colors. But if you're unlucky, so sorry to say you've wasted 2 years time. Form 6 is more on study, less assignments, wherelse college emphasize on assignments more than study. Lecturer talk fast, so be prepared, prepare your notes, lecturer tells you what book to buy, but never tell who which page to refer, so make use of the index and your book to get further reference and make use of Internet to get additional information.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading it finish, I know it's a long long long advices and opinion and keep on repeating =p

P.S. I'm gonna post another post regarding the reasons I quit matrik and my life at Nilai UC.

KMP, Here I come!

Hello people =)
I bet you already know where I'm going to study. It's Kolej Matrikulasi Perlis ( a.k.a KMP )

Well, I've been busy packing up things and i'm going out to buy clothes and other necessarily for the next few days. Anyone wanna follow me and give me some advice?

If I'm going to KMP, it's definitely mean that I din't get JPA. TRUE enough! I DIN"T GET JPA! But what's wrong without JPA? I think I'm okay with the result, because I only got 7A+, doesn't fulfill the latest requirement and I din't do well in the interview. Anyway, I got Matrik and I think I deserve it, frankly speaking, I really appreciate it now. Looking at the Facebook updates, my friend feel down for not getting the JPA scholarship, but I think it's ok. If they give it to you, it's a special gift to you, if they don't, it's normal, imagine how many people in the world had continued their study even without a scholarship. When there is a will, there is a way, you will work it out if you really want something and you'll success eventually.

My dad also wished a lot that I can get JPA, but I din't get. I laugh very loud when I checked my result, it's a NO and my dad thought that I have it, that's why i've been so happy. Then I tell him " no, I din't get it." Mum said " Don't care bout her, she's always like that, don't feel anything wrong even she can't have it." I think it is because I have plan a lot to go to KMP, and I already meet a new friend who is going to KMP but she's taking Sains Hayat, we might not be able to keep each other companion, yet it feels good to have someone I knew over there.

Oh yah, I got an interview call from Malaysia Airport and they arranged my interview on 24 at 2pm, takes place in KLIA. I am not going though, because I got to register at Matrik on 23, it would cause many problem if I want to go to the interview which consists of 2 session, more than 50 interviewees but only 4 places are given, is quite tight, and I gave up. Jinyi said " Never try, never know." How true, but I know my parents doesn't really want me to go overseas, my dad just wish that I can simply get a full scholarship to reduce his burden. Doesn't mean that my dad is a selfish people, but he know that he couldn't afford it sometime, so do I, and he always buy me whatever I want. So I'm giving up, I had many relatives that managed to study abroad by doing research where to get grantor and so on.

By the way, matric graduates stands a bigger chance to secure a place in public uni. Well, public uni is big and more regconized so I think I'll be damn fine with it. Perlis is kinda far, I know. Plan to take airplane before, but I decided to go and back with KTM, it's way more cheaper and convenient. That's all for now. Will try to update my blog as frequent as possible, it's not dead yet even I go to Matrik and it remains un-updated for months.

For those who read my blog, I wish you guys all the best in your study and your work. Keep in touch and stay tune! =D

Be an Optimist =)

Dear Stalie,

I know you feel bad when they announced the news of all 8A+ achievers are guaranteed for a PSD Scolarship a.k.a JPA Scholarship. It's really shocking for you, because you just got 7A+, somewhere at the borderline and your teacher told you they have been making some kind of cheating marking for your ICT, that's why you din't get it, you might have get 8A+ and then you deserve the scholarship if they are giving out grades according the distribution graph. Well, it's just a rumor though. No one can prove that they cheated, maybe you din't do it well and don't blame the others.

One more thing to remind you, all 8A+ achievers had secured their places, but that doesn't mean they are not giving out scholarships to those who had less than 8A+ students. It means maybe you can get it, anyway don't carry high hope on this, because it might turned out to be a bad news. Even if you can't get any scholarship, it is not the end of the world.

I know it's a depressed weekend for you. When your father reached home, he just start talking bout the 8A+ news again, seems like those who read the news wouldn't mind to heat up the topic for you and you still gonna pretend that you don't mind and you are not influenced by the news at all.

Moreover, when you already made up your mind to go Matrik in Perlis, it's a hard decision I would say. Your dad just came across you and asked you to appeal to transfer back to Kuala Pilah. It's kinda annoying because he told you to go Perlis, it took a lot for you to make the decision and then now he asked you to transfer when you are ready, prepared yourself for the challenge. But think of the other side, if you can get back to Kuala Pilah, you're only 15 minutes away from home. You're not gonna have homesick, you don't have to travel whole day to get home. Isn't that a good news for you?

My advice is do not try to avoid people talking bout this topic by staying in your room, reading or sleeping or even throwing tantrum alone. Be brave, girl, you gonna face it and tell the others " I AM SO DAMN FINE! I DON't GIVE A DAMN FOR THAT STUPID NEWS!". I'm sure you knew by your heart, doesn't matter how you try to escape, that's the truth, life goes on, and you too, please move on.

From love,
WaterFisH.

P.S. Be an optimist =)

Matrik vs NilaiUC

Ello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my blog once again.

For your information, I was awarded the Nilai University College High Achiever's Scholarship. This is a scholarship which will cover my 4 years tuition fee in Nilai UC and the accommodation will be provided as well ( Single air conditioned room,I'm Lovin' it! )

Another good news is I've been offered to Kolej Matrikulasi Perlis for Perakaunan. Well, Perlis is the northest state in the Peninsula of Malaysia, and I've never been there before. According to my teacher, she said it will take me about 8 hours journey to reach there.

Most of my teachers encourage me to go Matrik instead of enroll into Nilai UC. Nevertheless, I'm worried that I couldn't adapt to the matrik life over there as they will be 90% of bumis and I am chinese educated and grown up in a all Chinese circle. Anyway, my friends who got Matrik had decided to go Matrik if they can't get any better offer.

I've checked the information with some seniors of KMP. Well, Matrik life is boring, and they ask me to bring laptop for entertainment purpose but if I do so, it means that I'm putting my laptop in danger. Awww! Sounds awful? I think so. No outing, no shopping, no movies, no song, I wonder how could I survive in there. According to some reply, they said there are computers in the library and Internet access is provided, but websites such as Facebook, gaming, MSN are all restricted. So, it's gonna be a no fun year in Matrik.

I wonder why I felt I'm writing it in a very official way and I don't like it. I mean it! Never mind it. I'm going to stop here. It's Tuesday night now, gonna spend a whole day tomorrow for reading, chit-chating and gaming. Going to KL on Thursday. Then JPA result will be announce on Friday, I hope that they wouldn't postpone it. I couldn't wait anymore! Keep your fingers cross for me! Thankies! >33

My first letter to Mummy

Dear Mum,

I know that I am a coward. I dare to write it here, let everyone else read it, but I never dare to let you know what I'm writing here.

You know what?

Yesterday, I've been repeating this sentence to you " Come, let me hold you, I'll bring you cross the road. " and I pretend that I don't know how to cross it and finding excuse so that you could bring me.

Well, the truth is, your girl had already grown up. She learnt how to cross the street on her own. All she want to do is to make sure you could hold her hands tightly and bring her cross the road. I wonder since when you don't hold my hands when across the street as if you already knew I can handle it on my own. But no matter how old I've grow, I just know it from the bottom of my heart is that I'm your baby girl, forever.

I know it's hard for you to let me go. Every time I mentioned about study abroad, you just switch the topic. People told me is that you don't want me to leave you. Well, it's okay, how many mum in the world could afford to ask their children to stay away from her? But I just want you to know, that is one of my dream, which I know you can't afford it and I don't demand it at all from you. I'm just trying hard to achieve what I want. All I want is your support, and that would be more than enough.

This is my first letter for you. Next time I would write every good thing you did and it will always remind me how lucky am I to have you as my mum, I'm proud of you, and I wish someday you would say you are proud of me too! =)

Sounds weary to me and I really don't like it. Put it a stop here. I'll continue next time.

Best regards,
Stalie Lim.



P.S. I love you, mum.

Life goes well, everyone =)

Since Mervin keep on asking me to update my blog, or it will become a Dead blog site.

Well, I don't think I have anything to update actually. Life just goes well, everything is fine. Anyway, good news is I've collected my Harry Potter series ( it's 7 books in total ). I'm still reading the Chamber of Secret. Wish I can finish the whole series before I watch the last part of it in cinema.

But, my mum had been nagging bout it cause it seems to be a waste of money for buying the whole series to her. I agree with her though. Cause I know the books will just gonna stack up at the corner once I finish reading them. Pity right? Well, I hope there are people who is reading my blog now. Can leave me a message if you wanna borrow books from me, and tell me what books u can borrow me as well. At least bookpool-ing ( from carpool ) is another way to save money.

As for scholarships thingy, I went for JPA interview. Just to share my experience over here :
First, they ask us to do self introduction in Malay ( better be prepared for both english n malay )
Second, they ask why did you choose this course or career and how much you know about it ( It's in English, no doubt I can handle it better than the self introduction part)
Third, they ask where do you want to go and have you found any institution that you would like to admit to. ( Better do some research before you attend the interview )
Fourth, what if I send u to another country or doing it locally in Malay ( Well, I can't speak Malay as you all know, so I just answer with 1 word "pergi!" which my friend find it is a bravery act. LOLS! )
Fifth, do you take your course of own accord or influenced by any other people. ( I guess everyone would say own accord, because it shows your passion towards the course that you are going to pursue.)
Taa-dahh! Done

Alright, I gotta go now. C yah all =)

Family day.

Dear diary,

It had been years that I haven't go visit any place with my family. Well, I mean visit, visit doesn't include shopping. Last sunday, my dad bring my mum and I went to a temple, near Mantin. I like that place, nice building structure, they have a hanging bridge over there, across the bridge you will have to climb your way up the hill to reach the Sun Wu Kong statue. I walked across the bridge but din't go to the statue, cause my parents both don't want to go with me. Well, it's not fun to be like that, I mean walk alone when they are with me, I really really want them to have fun with me, together.

On the way back, we passed by a rabbit farm. I said i wanna visit there too. So, my dad dropped me there, ask if I want to go alone, he and mum will stay in the car. I say I'm not going if I have to be alone. So, both of them accompany me. But we was wrong, I thought its free of charge, but they say we gotta buy ticket, 5 bucks per pax. The girl suggested that we should buy a voucher worth 50 bucks, then we can get a free visit. And after that, we can buy our lunch using that voucher. And what is the lunch? Rabbit satay, rabbit soup and the list goes on and on.

Can you imagine that you walk into the farm, look at those rabbit, and after a while, they will all be dead and served on your table, become your lunch? Damn, I can't imagine and I dont think I will eat them. So, we left.

After that, went to Jusco. Well, one of my favourite shopping mall. Bought 2 books. First one, Slim Malaysians. It's for my weight loss purpose, well you might think it's a waste to buy a book like that. But I think what Jayden Chen wrote in that book make sense. Second one, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. I'm going to start reading it as soon as I finished the first one. And that's how my Harry Potter marathon will start!

Appreciation lunch

Just had an appreciation lunch with teachers and friends at resthouse yesterday. Meet a few teachers, friends and a senior. Learn something new bout the school. then, went to jinyi's house after the lunch, play monopoly card game with friends. Just before I went home, play with his bunny for a while. Big, white bunny! After I reached home, went to the next door and play with the puppies. a lot of them! Had a lot of fun yesterday.

PS . this one is really dry and boring.

keep your finger cross for them.

I'm sure all of you have read news about the earthquake happened in Japan. The tsunami hit them after that, and now followed by the spread of radiation. I'm sure there's gonna to lots of charity work to be carry on, donate if u you. If you cant, keep your finger cross for them. Hope everything will be fine soon.

A day with friends.

Heyy, guys =)

Say Gratz to Stalie because she had moved a step forward in her life. Well, I went to Mid Valley yesterday with friends ( Meiyan, Soh n Sin Hui ) for shopping. This isn't anything big but it remains something new to me because I never went out with friends, exclude the education fair.

I met Addy, Randy, Scarlett and Mwen yesterday. It was great to meet old friends like this. Chat a lot and Randy complained that he had been molested by his new colleague. Ew! Disgusting >.<

Anyway, I bought a Japanese Cherry Blossom Puree Body Lotion from the body shop. Smells great, and it really soften my skin. I would recommend this for friends, well its only for 55 bucks. I would have say it's worthwhile! Ate another Rum Raisin from Haagen Dazs. I love it! Cause I could really taste the rum while the raisins are sweet!

I was about to buy a webcam and a headset, but I keep on convince myself that " Stalie, you had a lot fun today. You've got a new lotion and the ice cream. You had indulged yourself too much! " and so, it happened to be work!

The Lost Symbol

Yay! Just got myself a copy of The Lost Symbol, the latest novel written by Dan Brown. Well, it's the Robert Langdon series. Oh my god! I'm so damn in love with this guy. He's a symbologist, a lecturer in the university. But he is so cool-headed when he is involved in several murder cases and solve each of them. Heh! Thanks to Dan Brown, he's the one who create this character, which seems to be so unreal in the real world. I love how he manipulate the storyline and all of his facts, research and knowledge he own has really got my interest.

Today is my first day read this novel, well I bought it for a week and I leave it aside. Before the story start, there is one sentence which is really eye catching and I'm more more more in love with it.

To live in the world without becoming aware of the meaning of the world is like wandering about in a great library without touching the books


Heh! A lot more of Dan Brown quote is coming. Oh my god, I just love it!

Left or Right?

Left or Right? But there is always a phrase that I'm in love with so much
-- Take the left step in the right direction --

Foremost, I want to gratz Ying for doing a good job, or maybe I should say she did make good use of holidays.

Alright, continue with mine now. I've been talking with friends ( graduates and undergraduates ) bout taking up a single major or dual. Anyway, I want to share with you guys bout the pros and cons.

For those who is taking up dual major, undeniable you will have a wider career prospect than those who take up single major. But, in terms of in depth of course, you will not be going as deep as those single one without question since a dual course and a single one are both taking up the same duration, roughly bout 3 years ( I'm talking bout degree )

For what I know, double major course which I wish to take - Account and Finance. It will lead me to the pathway of accountant and financial area. Where else, if a single Accountancy course, it will narrow the pathway which will only be in accounting area. And for the finance course same too. But what I'm worry is, if I take up double major, it would be the worst bit if I'm going for any professional exam. ( Not proven yet, so don't ever call this a fact. )

This is the list of the course that I'm interested in :
- Hotel Management
- Accountancy and Finance
- Accountancy
- Finance
- Banking and Finance
- Financial Planning
- Financial Management
- Applied Mathematics
- Logistics Management
- Financial Engineering

Write me your penny of thoughts.
Stay tune. I'll be posting more about choosing Uni/ College, Scholarship and useful website.

PS. Sorry guys, I don't know what is the difference between financial planning and financial management, just list it down, tell me if they are the same.

Yay! It grows!

It grows! What is it?
*Tadaaa~~*
Its my fingernail!

Come on, praise me! Praise me that I never bite my finger nails anymore~ Huuray!

I will never forget this.

As the title said, I will never forget this.

I will never forget how funny when my phone alarm rang during the exam, and tats SPM.
Every time I set my alarm on or off, the scene flashed before me.
What can I do?
Heh! No idea. Guess its my nightmare. May it be my perfect nightmare =D

Monday, January 10, 2011

heyy guys, good morning! =)

Sorry, I can't think of any title to fit in for the topic today. I wanted to write a post about this few days ago, but I always forgot, blame me blame me!!

Have you ever read story or post from forums or maybe facebook about distance? I bet you have come across this, maybe just a while ago. Here is the story that I'm gonna share here today.

The best friend that I had before, she is a pretty cunning one, she likes to fool people ( nothing bad bout this, probably she is just a little bit playful ). We've been through hard time, I mean really hard. She was the one which I had idea of " she's the only one, and one is enough ", but all of a sudden, she don't talk to me anymore, and that's last for 1 year. Guys, you really have idea how bad I feel that time? When she decide to transfer school, the day before school reopen, she text me " Heyy! Nothing much to say. See you tomorrow in school! " When I read this message, I take it as usual, as if she is just too boring and would text me this message. Something terrible happen next day, I went to school, I can't find her anywhere. Everyone knows that she've transferred to somewhere else. And I, as the best friend, know nothing about it.

Second time, B girl, we were very close. She told me that she is not going to have a new bf for a moment until she have finish her exam. But, when news spread around, saying that she have a new bf. I still defense her, I said " She said she's not gonna to get a new bf. " I trust her, I believe every word she told me. Apparently, she lied.

Third time, C girl, she din't went to the graduation trip. I din't feel anything bad about this before, until a girl told me " How do I feel as my best friend din't want to go with us?" I said " Nothing, I'm fine, great! " I dint lie, I was really great. New year eve, which also mean to be her surprise birthday party. She rather go out to yam cha than having bbq with us. I think she knew what are we going to do, but she don't want to go. When everyone thought that I know what's her reason for doing this, not going that and everything. Frankly speaking, I know NOTHING!

Three of them seems to be my best friend. I thought we were, I thought we were close, heart to heart. But every incident that had happened eventually reflected, NO! We were not close.

You really have no idea I feel when everyone know what things happened around, what had happened on you, yet I know nothing. You choose to keep every secret, while everyone thought I suppose know it.

- Do you know how it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? -

I bet, you don't know. You don't know how much I cherish this friendship. You don't know I've really tired of this, sick of it, and how much I wish to escape from this.
