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.
