Time to say goodbye

Time really flies. With the last paper I had on Tuesday, this indicates that I've completed my first semester studies. 

Yesterday, after picking up my bro, I went back to my college to pack things for the second time & return my room keys to the office. Since I lived in a all-girl-hostel, my bro was not allowed to go up with me. I had to do the movings all by myself. I guess I have too many stuffs there.. It nearly killed me to remove all the things from my room. =.=

I just don't get it. Why would we have to pack our things when we're going to stay in the same room next semester? That's gonna be so troublesome. Imagine that I have to move for so many times in the future years! and I heard that the authorities may rent those rooms to outsiders during the holidays. I just wonder who would like to rent those rooms for such a short period. Menyusahkan saya saja >.<

Ohh..and that's my desk in the pic! Quite messy right? Hahaha~ 

Here, I would like to thank my bro for willing to accompany me back to hostel. He's much better than me at recognizing the route now after daddy's training. ( He is the one who pick me up every Saturday. Of course, with dad sitting beside =] ) He even taught me which way and which lane is better to drive on. LOL.

I was so tired after the packings, so I forced him to drive me back. What an evil sister I am :P

But I treated him and sis with McD after that..so I think he's ok with that then! Hehe..

It still seems unreal for me till now..coz my 1st semester just end like that.. It's kinda short..Haha~ Well, I shouldn't think about this right now. It's time to move on. I need to start reading the TITAS. :( Anyway,

Happy Holidays, everyone! =D

Killing Subject

Try to make a wild guess on which subject I'm talking about

 *nervous*

 *waiting for an answer*

YES!! you're right!

It's CPP!!

a.k.a Pinciples of Chemical Processes 

The only subject that I found to be EXTREMELY diffiicult to handle this semester

because one may read the book & understand concepts now

but end up struggling with the questions later

I had my CPP finals yesterday

It was a nightmare for me :/

That's the1st time of mine 

leaving so many blanks on the exam paper

There's not even a question which is completely filled with answers

I had a hard time from the start

reading & understanding the questions

It was so so so difficult

my mind just went blank when going through those questions

seriously

Test 1 & 2 are NOTHING compared to this finals

Somehow I wish to put the blame on the instructors!

The guy who kept talking & distracted my concentration during the exam

The guy who kept complaining that he didn't get any instruction 

of letting us bringing the 2 sheets formula

wasting our time, hesitating whether we're allowed to use the copied formula papers

Those assistants who just only started distributing those charts and tables after half an hour 

I know I shouldn't accused them on my failure

coz I'm the one to be blamed

If I'm well-prepared

I'll face no problems solving those questions 

and be able to stand up confidently, asking for those tables

instead of wasting my time, sitting quietly, panicking 

wondering where I should get those values from in order to start my calculations

I was so helpless that time

I thought I'm going to cry right after the exam

but I didn't

I guess I was too depressed 

Since I screwed this paper

and there'e a high possibility of me failing this subject

Maybe it's time for me to rearrange my 2nd sem timetable

My only hope now is that Dr. Robiah wouldn't be pissed off when she marked my paper

God! Bless me!

Shocking Tuesday

                                                      SHOCKED!
                                             That's the first thought I had
                            when I saw the message you sent to us via facebook
                                         that you're engaging next month
                                           and getting married next year!

                                                I shouldn't be shocked
            as there are other people I knew who got married at a young age of eighteen
                                          and she's even having a daughter now
                                                          but still
                                         I'm having a hard time to swallow this
                                            as you're a close friend of mine
                                            as you're the first in our F5 gang

                                                        Dunno why
                                  I felt that you're not so excited about this
                                     from the way you present this news
                   I just wish that you're not accepting your future husband's proposal
                              because of responsibility and hardship you faced
                            coz I really hope that you're happy with your choice
                                          and I WANT you to be happy!


                                                    I don't know
                                  Maybe it's just my misinterpretation of words

                                                      After all

                                           I just want you to know that

                       though most of them,your besties are not in Malaysia right now

                                    but all of us would always be there for you!

                                       Happy Wedding, Thilaka!

PS: I did follow your words not to post anything on facebook

      but I spread it through my blog =P

Here i am complaining , complaining that i’m doing piles of assignments and presentations, complaining about school being such a drag, how whenever i open one my notebooks i frown and complain knowing that i have to study.. but then i see this.


This little girl .. These books are her everything. She probably struggled and used all the money she had just so she could buy these books for school and get an education that we sometimes take for granted. At least we have the oppurtunity to learn. Yes, sometimes the notebooks and textbooks we have might be a bore to look at and we grunt. But in the end we know why we need education. So we could persue our, dreams,our hopes and ambitions. Even with the simple knowlege of knowing how to read and write, count and put words into a sentence can take us somewhere as silly as it might sound.

We complain of the education that we do have, but do we actually realise how lucky we are? There are many children out like this little girl with a simple wish is to go to school, get an education, so they can learn to the best of thier ability. We take our books for granted, but at least we have books to write on,text books to learn from. Most of this little girls books are ruined,It breaks my heart how some kids have to go through this while most of us sit on our asses and complain about what we have/don’t have.

Should be stop complaining and be appreciate of the opportunities I owned..

卡差

I'm switching my role as a student to a postman!! LOL. Just kidding.

Since this July, delivering birthday cards has became one of my monthly mission. While busy battling with the never-ending assignments and presentations, I have also spent some time to fullfill my postman's responsibility. Hehe~

My job, in fact, is not tough at all. What I have to do is just walking around the whole floor, knocking the doors and handing the cards to their owners with a smile.

However, to be honest, I do view this mission as un uphill task initially as I'm not that good at talking and socializing. But now, I'm actually enjoying the process of delivering cards to their owners. It feels nice to see their shocked, yet happy expressions.
I find it quite interesting too as I get to know more people during this duty. =]

I'm honoured and grateful for being able to carry out such heart-warming duty. Wondering whether other colleges also implement such activity?

我的第一次

08/10/2010
刚刚完成了我人生中第一次的英文辩论，感觉。。。很爽、很paiseh、很奇怪。

八月初，我与几名朋友被点名进辩论组。朋友们都进了英语的，我则被安排进国语的。由于有点怕怕的，又想和朋友一起，所以就申请调到英语组。其实我没有很想进辩论，因为本人有并不是个能言善道的人，不但沉默，而且目前脑袋还在慢慢退化中。我曾于仔细考虑后，拒绝了学姐的offer；没想到今天沦为旱鸭子，被学姐赶上架。

其实今天的辩论不会轮到我的，只是今晚要上场的一名学姐突然有考试，临时不能参加了；另一位同学则发烧，结果我和另一位朋友-心怡被逼代替上场。学姐其实也没怎样逼我们，只是简单说了几句。。说什么这次的对手很弱啦、如果我们不上场，我们的宿舍就直接输了等等的话，搞到我们不能拒绝。>.<

原本以为随便讲就行了，没想到英文的也是Parliamentary style，搞到我很紧张。事关本人虽然曾参加国文的国会辩论，但只是当仲谋（就是帮人想point，想怎样反驳的），并没有正式上场辩论的经验。当知道一个人要讲足7分钟时，我的心情就如同以下的图画。。。

死定了！！我中六时MUET只要讲两分钟我都觉得很久了！何况是7分钟！不是1，是7叻~
当下好想放弃啊~无奈又答应了人家，就只好硬着头皮上咯！
出发前，另一名辩论者突然气喘病发，还劳烦到救护车到我们宿舍。我们的辩论还真是一波三折啊~ 但后来拜托了我们科系的一位学姐代替后，大伙儿就匆匆忙忙地出发了。

到了现场，见到全部参赛者都穿正装，很隆重，反观我和心怡两个只穿T-shirt =.=
现场的人都好像很厉害，耳边不时传来正统的英语交谈。我的心越听越害怕、越紧张、越沉重。抽签了后，我们得到的是政府（也就是所谓的正方），而全体的题目是 (House) would not allow students to participate in political parties. 政府不应该让学生参与政党活动。

乍看题目，感觉很难。正方好像没什么好讲的，加上紧张的关系，我的脑袋一片空白。所幸学姐够淡定，一个个和我们俩讨论要说些什么，我的头脑才开始启动。随着准备的时间慢慢地减少，心脏跳动的节拍越快。有阵子感觉我的心快跳出来了。=.='' （一点都不夸张）

心怡表现得很好。轮到我时，我的脑袋再度空白。结果我一开始就吃螺丝、频频口吃，就连开场白和立场都讲不好。前半段我完全不知道自己在说些什么，说得乱七八糟；后来才慢慢进入状况（自己觉得的 >.< ) ，只可惜已经是很后的时候了。说完的时候，学姐握了握我的手，说我表现不错。我知道她是在安慰我，但我还是很感激她。现在回想，我刚才的表现真的差到。。反观学姐的反驳和年级比我小的心怡的结尾都表现得很精彩。=]

好一场辩论！结束的时候，感觉真的很好，好像完成了件重大的事。学姐说这就是辩论的魅力。开始时很紧张，过程很澎湃，结束后很爽！哈哈~ 其他的学姐都说很精彩，很好看哦~ 但我相信绝对不是我的部分。 =_____=
在回宿舍的路上，我觉得自己其实可以表现得更好的，可惜已经过去了。好奇妙的感觉噢，就那一瞬间，我曾想过要再来一局。呵呵~

成绩其实还没揭晓，得等隔天，也就是今早才知道。希望待会儿有好消息吧~

最后，我要感谢临时拉我进的Amirah 学姐。因为有她，我总算见识到真正的辩论了，今晚才会有这美好的经验。感激同样参赛的学姐，在我演说时不时的迎合点头和结束时轻握我的手，让我感到很贴心。感谢心怡、感谢今晚所有的人，让我走出我的第一步。虽然这一步走得不怎么漂亮，但我会继续努力、改变的。希望今晚说的话不会落空，请大家为我作见证。

有家人真好！

感谢表弟，今年刚学会做蛋糕的他，于我Mummy生日的前夕就亲手做了个Oreo Cheese Cake给她。小姨为了避免表弟独自负担有点贵的材料费，于是二话不说就出手买了他的蛋糕！在我家几个小孩还没为妈妈庆祝前，阿姨和表弟妹们就率先为她庆祝了。

                                    表弟的oreo cheese cake。很好吃哦~

其实，表弟的一家还没有人吃过这蛋糕哦。第一次做这就献给我的mummy, 搞到后来表姐表妹们（他的亲姐姐和妹妹）在面子书上PROTEST, 要求他无条件免费作给她们一家吃。当我看到她们的wall post和comments时，真的笑坏我了~ =D

在中秋节当天，表弟还为我们两家做了些 cheese tarts，并亲自在外婆家外等候许久。打从心底感谢他，真的辛苦他了！

                             满满的flavour cheese tarts. 冷藏后更好吃呢！

妈妈生日当天，是我刚好忙完的日子。大约6时下课、回到宿舍时，爸妈早已在楼下等候载我回家庆祝。由于弟弟叫上小姨一家一起到Hulu Langat很里面的山上餐厅用餐，要等晚下班的姨丈，我又因为当天忙到没时间好好吃午餐，结果mummy把她同事送给她的小蛋糕给我充饥。我真的很不孝啊~不但什么都没准备，还吃别人给她的祝福。。。>.<

晚上，两家人就浩浩荡荡上山吃饭。妈妈从没去过那儿，所以感到很新鲜。在我们用餐期间，耳边就传来生日歌。原来当天也有人到那儿庆祝。看到mummy的神情，就想到她可能也想有个蛋糕。所以待小姨和mummy聊天，爸爸和小的到附近散步时，我就拉了弟弟在一旁窃语。‘事关’本人曾去过那儿一次，知道楼上的另间餐厅有卖蛋糕，就塞了些钱给弟弟买蛋糕去。

不久后，当弟弟捧着蛋糕出现时，mummy真的有惊喜到。（我感觉啦）哈哈~ 小姨为我们能临时找到蛋糕也觉得很impressed呢！^-^ 吃过蛋糕后，阿姨又争着要付钱，结果被妈妈说服，让我当晚当大老板请客。嘿嘿~
虽然到最后阿姨还是塞了些钱给我，说是买蛋糕的钱。我没法子拒绝，只好收下了。

我家以往过生日都很简单，一起出外吃大餐就当庆祝了。今年，感谢阿姨、表姐弟妹们，让我在很忙，没时间准备的时候，给予我mummy祝福和美好的回忆。我真的很爱我家人 ！ 我指的家人不仅是直属家人，当中也包括了我的亲戚。他们陪着我家一起长大、成长，在我心中，亲戚这两字已不足以形容他们了。是的。他们绝对是我的家人，是我一辈子能无条件依靠、珍惜的家人。:)
