Finals then movie trip then girls-get-together outing (in planning) and lastly Macau...

I try to make this as short as possible...
Basically the title of this blog post has gave out what I wanted to say.

1. Finals
Currently doing my finals. This is my most hectic semester, ever! Things seems not to end.

2. Movie trip
Was planned back in October (as I recall) with a friend of mine, 'Adik'. Initially we planned to go for 'Skyfall'. However we couldn't seem to find the suitable time. Until now... Coincidently, our finals end on the same day! And me and some of our friends are going for the movie.

3. Girls-get-together outing
Whatsapp-ed my ex-schoolmate, Ju Yi to tell her about this planned outing. Honestly, I haven't seen her since F6! I miss her! Hopefully this outing can work out! Feels like celebrating her post-birthday.

4. Macau
Yes!!! My passport can be in use after 4 years! If not the RM 300 is put to a waste. Anxious to be abroad since my Taiwan trip four years ago... Will Twitpic, upload on Facebook and blog about the trip once I return to Malaysia. Do I sound\ like those tour bloggers? Ha, ha, ha!


Signing off for this week.
Until next week.


Writer's note: Hopefully I can score in my finals. Lack of confidence as usual... That's me.

The missing piece of me...

Before I start, here's a video to David Choi's 'Missing Piece'...

Well, it was just an introduction to this blog post. Nothing really.


It's a missing part in me.
I am studying in a private university which majority of the students are Chinese and Indians, with international students too.

I was educated in the Malaysian education system (the UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM thing). What can I say from it...? Well... I'm blessed, I guess. Imagine all classmates from different racial backgrounds mingle together in a classroom, from strangers to friends. That was the miracle part of human interaction, cross-culturally. I am thankful my parents send me to the study in the Malaysian system, making me a Malaysian in heart. Proud being one.

13 years in Malaysian system (I had an extra two years because I took STPM as my pre-u. No college life for me after SPM). It had became a big significant and shaped the person I am now. A wannabe journalist/writer who can write and converse fairly enough in BM, English and Chinese.

I learned many things from people I grew up with, school friends and teachers. I picked up English through learning, reading (Harry Potter throughout my childhood!) and speaking with my friends. Same goes as BM too. Just that I rarely read Malay books except the KOMSAS ones our teachers told us to read.

Back then I had this feeling that my Malay was much better than my English. It was because most subjects I did in school like history, geography, arts, moral, living skills, accounting, economics were in Malay, obviously except maths and science.
Come on! Obviously a person can improve their language skills if they use it frequently...
Yes. I really learned a lot from all my Malay friends I met throughout school.
I had a number of Malay friends back in school. Looking back, it made me realised how much I missed the best times I had with them. Some, I still stay in contact. It's just a small number...

Actually it was the lessons I learned from them that were valuable.
Back then, I can't speak Malay as well as I was in school. I guess it was my Chinese background. Imagine me as a 10 year old girl speaking in Malay, in some 'Ah Moi' accent. I wasn't teased frankly speaking... It was just not impressive.

After coming to secondary school I met more Malay friends. There, throughout the daily interactions I tried to improve the way I speak. Less 'Ah Moi'-ish, more clear in pronunciation. I don't have problems in writing though. See... There's this thing, "you can write well but not necessary you can also speak well or inversely, you can speak well, but not necessary you can write well". Believe me I knew people who write well but can't speak well and vice versa.
Speaking needs a lot of practice so does writing. Someone, if you are about to come out to work in the corporate world, you'll need to speak and write a lot.


I had become less 'Ah Moi'-ish thanks to the guidance of my Malay friends.


Upon coming to uni, the environment took a 180 degree swift. I studied everything (ALMOST) in Malay. What?! Now it's in English?! I never have so much English subjects back in school and Form 6. Ironically the only English subject I did in Form 6 was MUET. Others all in BM. And now English in higher education. I was thinking, "why wouldn't we get more subjects in English?! How am I suppose to cope?!". The environment was complete different too. Majority of the students are Chinese and Indians with international students and a small amount of Malay. I was taken aback when I first set foot into uni. A big 'what' was held up in my head. I thought there should be equal...

I am going through my 2 years in uni until this group of MRSM students came to study American degree. Their arrival added more variety of colours to the community. I happened to know some of them. Not as close as I was with my classmates and friends back in school but we did get along well.


It was only yesterday I attended the Malay Cultural Society's gathering night and saw more of the MRSM students I had yet seen and some familiar faces I knew since they first came. I rarely go to clubs' gatherings in uni. I only go to those that I think it's worth going...
I was the only non-Malay local student (there was another non-Malay guest at the gathering, Rahul, a friend from India) guest there. No. I didn't feel awkward at all being with people from different cultural backgrounds. I was bought up, studied with people from different backgrounds in school.
Going to their gathering gave me this old sentimental feeling in school. Joking loudly with each other in Malay and boys chasing one another... Those were the similar scenarios I used witness. With them, I can reminisce the voices of from the good old days...

With the friends I knew from MRSM, I tried to speak as much Malay as I can with them.
Come on! 13 years of using the language and putting it to waste later in life?
Also I speak in their language to make them feel comfortable with me.

Yesterday, I was talking to the club's advisor and my friend, Siti about their progress in the program. She told me that they are going to take their SATs soon and some of them did it last week. The current club committee are stepping down.

Zawier, club's chairperson and also a friend of mine told me the next semester would be their last before going to the US.




Writers' notes: So much of the recollection and fun from the gathering. Incidentally next semester would be my last too... For studying. The short semester is for final year project before going off to my internship in August next year. From the bottom of my heart, I will try to go as many gatherings I can in my final study semester including Mass Comm which I hardly show up.
Time flies. It is 2 years since I first came to uni and in about 10 months time I'm leaving my studies and I will be working in the society, for the people (well, I like to put it this way).
I should put studies as life collection. Not doing masters or anything in the future. Tired of studying, honestly...

'Friends' on Twitter...

1st of all, how am I going to start it...?

'Friends'? How you define it? People you knew well personally through face to face interaction? People you knew about on bits and part, like the basic information of name, job description etc.? Try figure... I don't have the answers too...

Today, the definition of 'friends' had blurred. 'Friends' may be those that you interact with on a day-to-day basis, that you knew (doesn't matter if you knew them well or not). There's the 'Facebook friends'. 'Facebook friends', as what I found from Urban Edge, (urbanedgeny.com) defined it as "individuals who have mutually agreed to be Facebook friends, allowing you to view information on their profile, follow each other's postings, post on each other's wall etc. Either party can request to be a friend, but the other party must accept the request". Huh? Some definition right there...
To sum it up, people who want to be friends with each other on Facebook.

I had numbers (how much in total by the way...?) of Facebook friends... Some I knew in the past and present. There were some I barely knew. Just met them a few times before in life. That's it!
Anyway, I'm not a big Facebook fan. I rarely post statuses there. Wouldn't I'll be looking like an attention-whore if I kept updating my status... every 5 minutes? And also, I think that the 'Like' button is too overrated. You clicked 'like' because you really 'like' it? Or just for fun?
Forget Facebook. The account was there mainly because there are groups I'm in and I need information from group updates. Just that...



What I'm more interested at is on Twitter!
Love it so much! It was because you can interact with anyone (YES, ANY SINGLE ONE) on Twitter. With the condition you made your Tweets public for other to see.
On Twitter you can Tweet every walking seconds without anyone finding you annoying. I guess that was why Twitter for, you update (literally) non-stop... without someone judging you and calling 'attention-whore' behind you. Ha ha, ha!

Currently I'm following 73 people on Twitter, which included old school friends, news updates from online news, politicians and some interesting people. Take note of interesting people because this blog will be about them...


This guy i followed, according to my old school friend Yu Liang (who also happened to be one of my Twitter friends), the guy was his ex-lecturer in Sunway. Currently doing his thesis. That dude... He was so darn funny... He was sarcastic in a funny way in his Tweets. A small little thing he can turned into something superbly hilarious!

Next up, another guy. Related (not through blood) to the 1st person. I came to know from 1st guy that he and 2nd guy were in a band. Yes! A singing one! 1st guy is one of the vocalist while 2nd guy is the rapper. 2nd guy knew Chinese too! Woah! Suddenly I'm so proud to be Chinese...! Ha, ha, ha!

Thirdly, a Mass Comm student from UiTM Shah Alam. I blogged before on helping someone on Twitter, he was the one! Another sarcastic Twitter-user from Malaysia! Also a Mass Comm student as I am... It was my burning curiosity that had he approached me to translate the Chinese texts... Basically that was the story.

Also, I followed this journalist from a local news publishing company... Ha, ha, ha! I knew lots of political news from him, from West to East Malaysia. Quoted from his Tweet, "We are jiran. Separated by (future) LRT". He lived opposite me, just across the (currently under construction) Jalan Kewajipan... This ex-Form 6 classmate and friend, Ju Yi once said he interviewed her father for his article. Her relative, who happens to be the journalist's colleague, introduced Mr. Ho to him. Ha, ha, ha! The world is so SMALL! Smaller even in the social network world!

Lastly, another lecturer from KL. I bought up his name during K's class. What stunned me was when K  told me he knew this lecturer! "Yes, he's PhD in Political Science..." said K.
Er... Left me speechless at the end of the class.
This afternoon, I was being another busybody on Twitter (again)... One of today's news was the 2013 Budget from Pakatan government. The lecturer, he is a member in one of the political parties in Pakatan. Yes. And involved in doing the Budget. So the 'Mikhael Blomkvist' in me surfaced, just wanting to check whether K's claims are right or not... Then I told him the story,"... I was told by this person yesterday that he knew you... Ha, ha, ha!". He replied by asking who is the person and I gave K's name to him. K's name is too common. Type into Google and you can see tonnes of people with the same name... The lecturer answered he knew *K's full name* from LaSalle. "Which LaSalle? I knew there's few LaSalles in Malaysia. LOL" I Tweeted a reply.
He asked which *K's name* I was attending. "lecturer. Ha, ha, ha!".
So he REALLY knew K! And knew K worked with MalaysiaKini before! "yes. Him!". To double confirm we're talking about the same person, no misunderstandings! He Tweeted to me telling me to say hi to K and he haven't seen him for some time...
'Mikhael Blomkvist' is still there inside me... Kept on asking... "... You're not happen to teach mass comm in Cheras right?". He replied saying he had no experience in journalism... "it's fine. You can teach other related fields mass comm can make use of. Ha, ha!"
At last, he asked where I am doing my degree. "where K teaches. Inti."
*end of conversation*


Another case in this month: I 'picked' on a politician, asking him if I can interview him for assignment...  That was another absurd outburst on Twitter...




Writer's note: Re-emphasise again, I love Twitter so much. Felt connected with those people on the virtue world, even if I never met them in real life. I believe that, there's some days I can meet some of the people on I followed... Maybe we DO turn out as 'friends'... Who knows?!

Be friendly yet professional...

I'm not brave yet I'm not shy either.
For the past 2 weeks, I gather all my guts to go and talk to people. Not randomly but with a purpose. The purpose of knowing and writing my news.
How can a person is going to look for information without trying hard to gain it?

For an event that took place last 2 weeks, I am (unconsciously) brave enough to walk up to the 2 big management people of my uni to talk to them. I expect a rough reception from them actually. Who could love a nosy-future-journalist to come over randomly and ask silly things? At a point, I thought I was about to be throw out by them.
Things in life always goes opposite. I expected the worst however I got a unexpected warm treatment from them. They are in fact very cooperative. Their treatment made me felt warm... If (stressing the word) only, people out there are so nice... (Basically this is merely a DREAM, unrealistic expectation)

Other than them, I met this chairperson of the club that organized the event. Ha, ha! It was coincidence I saw him the other day. Who else better to fit into my article other than the VIPs? The hardworking people that made the event successful. Well, the truth was, I only need one. Just the chairperson will do. He can speak on behalf of his team.
The interview with him... I guessed I made it too formal. It wasn't awkward at all. Just that I find sometimes being too formal, too inquisitive is just... weird.

I'm in profession that required me to talk to all sorts of people, in a professional manner. Professional huh? Business-like? Initially I thought yes to it... but being professional, business-like, wouldn't that makes someone wanna distance away from you?
OK, just be friendly to the people you met however do maintain certain degree of professionalism in your work... Cut the business-like meeting crap. Be reminded this is not a PR work whatsoever. It's journalism, a more humane and factual approach.



The assignment for today. Look for a something serious that happened in the uni. I had in mind what I want to write about... it's on a case of laptop stealing in hostel.
Who are involved in the article: my source (foremost), the victims, security guards and authority figures.   There comes the Mikhael Blomkvist of me. Ha, ha, ha!
This incident that took place today, was I suffering some sort of head concussion/blackout? I wasn't aware what happened around me in the CC office today... I don't know what happened really yet I can perceived the 'situation is not right'...

I want to voice out something to someone:
"To who you are (the lovely friend of mine that works in uni) so sorry for getting people to storm into your office and caused you, well maybe uncomfortable. I sincerely apologise..."




Writers' note: My next assignment would be the politician interview (yes to joy! No to stress!). I found this member of parliament which I think is one of the most suitable person to interview (Do refer to Twitter and Facebook to know what happened. Done something absurd last week). Need to plan the interview and make an appointment to that. God bless my interview to be successfully conducted!
Thought of being a writer again by rewriting the story I abandoned... Bad news is, I forgotten the storyline I had planned for it!

'The Dog and the Lamp Post'

This was a joke I heard from none other than K, more than a year ago...
Until yesterday, I mentioned to Ju Yi about the 'dog-lamp-post' joke. Was told to write a blog post on this...

This article discussed about the special relationship between dog and lamp post. Please read it if you don't understand.
This was actually a term, traditional I can say, to showcase the relationship between journalists and politicians. Who is 'the dog'? Who is 'the lamp post'? Is journalist the 'dog'? Not really. They are the society's watchdog, indeed. But they can't really be the 'dog'. Who watches the media if they do any wrongdoings? The government/politicians? The roles were indeed blurred... The relationship between a journalist and politician... 'frenemies'. Ha, ha, ha! I learned this term back few years ago, during the blonde-dominated-reality-series-era. Friends but not really friends. Enemies yet a true enemies.
For me, I see an 'exchange' in terms of the relationship between journalists and politicians. Journalists want to get, probe them for news and watch their wrongdoings... While politicians, they want journalists to report on them, get them to... promote (?) about them.

The dilemma in journalist's relationships with their subjects... It's a career filled with grey areas, everywhere.

The scene of a dog barking at a lamp post or pissing at the lamp post.
We don't really see it much in Malaysia such scenario. Our lamp post are more taller and modern. Unlike the ones in England where they're shorter and looked traditional. (Go Google lamp post in England's images! Ha, ha, ha!)

Journalism, build based on politics. Journalism and politics, they are inter-related, that's what I can say.
There will be politics in most field of journalism, be it sports or business.
Who are the 'dog' and 'lamp post'?
Who watches and guardes over whom?



Writer's note: Hopefully I won't have the dilemma of relationship with my other half in the future... Wishing for a normal and decent relationship. A love relationship. Only love, no other elements. Still, I love the work challenges of a journalist... Guess I won't give up this career. Ha, ha, ha! I wouldn't really want to do general news specifically in the future. I'm more keen to entertainment or sports...

Gone Mac...

Ha, ha, ha! This would be one of my random post.
Officially, I had switched to Mac now! Goodbye Windows, but not permanently. I still will use Windows once in a while and in my future workplace.
Literally I'm not anyone in the creative or design department, so it won't be necessary I request a Mac Pro on my desk right? Absurd.

I told (almost) everyone on Twitter the reason(s) I wanted a Mac... One, I can't stand Windows anymore and two, Mac is better than Windows. Both reasons may reflect I'm unbearable... But still, I want change. Change is in fact good, if the person do embrace it with an open heart...

Initially I thought I couldn't catch up with the OS X. Surprisingly, I learned the basics in within 15 minutes... Woah! Couldn't believe it myself too! Simpler than Windows? Can say so... However, I still need time adapting. Been a Windows user since I started using computers. Switching to OS X indeed need time, time to pick up OS X 'habit' and throwing the good ol' Windows 'habit'. Ha, ha, ha!

I'm not any poser, taking pictures of my Mac from all angles. This is the only and the best Mac shot I did. Maybe if I'm free I'll do it, in addition with a DSLR camera... Ha, ha, ha!

As mentioned briefly, change is good but you'll need time to adopt.

Writer's note: Currently happily using this new found 'buddy'. So my 'buddy' be nice to me, OK?! Don't repeat the mistakes made by previous 'buddy'. Besides that, I'm looking forward meeting a girl friend who's out for internship in this week. Miss and worry about her, really...

Pre-(senior) semester...

I'm writing this blog post with mixed feelings.

Tomorrow will be the start of my senior and majoring semester. Which indirectly spells, I'm leaving uni life soon.

I'll be having my final class and semester with K. And this time, I am nervous. The reason was this is a major subject and I don't have the faintest idea what K will be telling us, 4 of us to do...

K, well... once he was a journalist. Currently working in the higher education field.
I remembered about 2 years ago coming to uni and the first person I met was K, not any of my classmates or uni friends. He introduced himself to me and said this "I'll be teaching you in the future...". Gulp. His words took me by surprise in fact. Teaching? I thought he don't teach. What's this? A warning signal? His words troubled me for few minutes until I was occupied with official matters.

I told myself not to be get scared and timid when I entered his class. After the first 4 months knowing K, he's a nice person actually. Throughout the 4 months I had doubts about changing major in the future... because of him (As some of you may not know, I was initially going for Advertising).
I made my mind going to Journalism around the last quarter of last year. K 're-lightened' my dreams and interest in writing. I wasn't keen on writing since Form 3 because the comment my English teacher made about my low level of proficiency in English. I don't care now any more! That has became the past tense. I know best what I want to do, based on my interest and believe!

Back to the current situation!
This will be my last semester and subject with K. I guess I won't get to see this person much in the future or will he become my supervisor? Unsure.


I do realised from my few previous posts, I had added the last paragraph of 'Writers' note'...


Writers' note: I'll try to treasure and remember this last times with K. After all he do inspired and led me back to where and what I initially wanted to do. Felt gratitude towards K after all, for leading me to this path.

Busyness and Troublesome...

Busy, hectic. 

Those were the 2 words to describe how was my life in the past month. Almost a month since I last blogged. Bear with me. Just can't find time to sit down and write calmly. 

OK. There were many things happened for the past month, and I can say it's not the good at all.

1. Event went wrong because there was no full commitment from all members.
2. Interview assignment being delayed and until now, there is not a confirmed date and time to conduct it.
3. Phone gone missing. Daily communication cut off for nearly 12 hours. Thanks to the existence of social networking sites, I can still manage to 'survive' for the past 12 hours. 
4. Trouble from past event that should have been solve hasn't been solved at all.

These were crisis. Major stress 'invading' me. But I won't let it to have control over me.
Be calm and positive during the critical and harsh times. That's what I believe in.

On the other hand, I took the initiative of writing a feature story (based on the unfortunate Monday, where most of the incidents gone wrong took place). I had no experience at writing feature. Never learn the format and skills beforehand. But... Does it matter? Even non-journalists can write a feature piece so well, so it shouldn't be a problem for a future journalist like me. Take the risk and do it!  

Euro 2012 has ended. Spain won again. Well... Congratulations anyway. Germany, just need some lady luck on their side. They won't be forever a bridesmaid, right? 

Everyone stayed up in the wee hours to catch and support their favourite teams, right? Well, Euro 2012 may had ended, but the staying up late night habit has not come to an end... 

Don't forget, London Olympics is coming on the 27th July! More late nights at home, 'mamak' stalls, bistros. By this date, I'm already on semester break! Woohoo! I can really 'enjoy' the night hours, supporting Malaysia and other athletics in Olympics.

Adapting-Learning...

I have many thoughts, questions, suspicions every time (most of the time would also fit). 

Although something/situation/instructions given were clear, I'm still unsure. Probably some lack of confidence in me. 

I tried changing. Yes. Change is good. Often at times, change is good for you, but not necessary to the people you live with around. People may find weird, annoying even of you had change to a better person (what you thought you had). 

Basically the winding thing is just a lame introduction... 

This blog post will be about changing, but the change doesn't have much affect on my life later and on. Just some temporary alteration. Nothing much. Take it as another life learning experience... 

I'm already in my 2nd year-going-to-3rd year studies. I'd encounter all sorts of lecturers and classmates. Some bad, some good. Most importantly, it's what you had learned from them, be it bad or good. I learned not to jump into assumptions and conclusions too soon (well, I did tried to kick this habit off... Just in the process of trying hard). 

But this current semester would give me a big lesson. Why?! I had never been thought by a foreign lecturer and I'm also taking a subject that teaches you... er, how to phrase it...? ... To be a discipline professional of the industry. The subject's name is Professional Development.

The foreign lecturer's lessons would be one of the eye-opener for me. He was a person with much knowledges and experiences, which he love to share in class. Someone you would look up to and respect him of what he is. He told us things that my other lecturers would never say. But... the catch is here, he expects every students in class to obey to his rules (no latecomers, no words on your t-shirts, no slippers, need a real book, no eating in class, no handphones). Yes. Those 'Caucasian style', what Chinese use to describe. 

I had a Caucasian (literally... Half-Caucasian to be exact) lecturer who taught me, since my first semester... Yes, the other subject I'm currently doing, Professional Development. It will be my last class with her in my uni. 

'Adapting-Learning' is what I'm currently doing, not only in the foreign lecturer's class, but also my Professional Development class. 'Adapting' new and different style of teaching plus 'adapting' a new professionalism manner. Also I'm really 'Learning' the subject from the bottom of my heart and 'learning' to be a professional journalist who must work under harsh conditions. 

p/s: Is this my longest blog post? I don't recall writing so much.

One fine (and terrible) Thursday...

I'm back! Been 2 weeks since I last blogged. OK. I was busy with my projects and assignments. That's it...

This blog post will be very narrative... Bear with it.

On today, I went to meet my lecturer to talk to her and pay her a social visit. Speaking on official reasons. Well, the social visit was just to have some light chat and show her a very meaningful video.

Next up, I found another of my lecturer, sitting at the table near the faculty office. I saw him first, then I only realised a friend was sitting opposite of him. That was a weird situation. That friend was kind of confused... Well, maybe my sudden turn up was kinda confusing to the whole picture. They were actually sitting on the same table, not knowing one another or talk to one another. Until I turned up... My appearance that moment was... simple said, adds a big question mark. My friend didn't expect it, so does my lecturer.
Initially I was planning to meet another lecturer but she was not in. So, I sat down with him and started chatting. I asked him about his current situation and about his former and soon-to-be-my-future profession. I had written about going to major before. Yes. I have doubts about this profession. There's no one better to talk to other than him, who had experienced in the journalism.
OK. Currently, there is 2 students who are taking Journalism major. I won't be the only one that major into Journalism. There is another friend going to the same major as I do. I'm not a loner after all...
I can't foresee what will happen in his class when I enter Journalism in the future... For sure, my friend will attend the class every time (If she doesn't, I have no idea how awkward it will get... Only me and him in the classroom).
Our conversation lasted for almost 2 hours.

Next thing on the day, I went to settle some pending issues with the students' council. OK. Problem kind of sorted. Need some clarification.

Then I reached office. Well, I didn't do anything there... Just sat there to pass the time...
This was when I went out to buy the expired snack...! Yes! Expired! I didn't notice it until I saw the description behind. What the hell?!
I had minor food poisoning symptoms just now. I'm fine, up to this point.

3 words to sum up my Thursday: good, weird and bad.

That's it for now.

p/s: I'll continue writing the story and update on the Kedah trip.

Going to major...

I'm back after 2 weeks since my last post on Chinese New Year!

Here was something I received during Ms. Hafizah's class yesterday, from her, of course; an enrolment form for my 3rd and final year subjects. Immediately, I was filled with surprises...

I'd never thought that I got the form so early. I'm just going through my second year, haven't even done my first year subject, haven't been to internship... That form yesterday really gave me a shocked and realisation later... I  had spent almost 2 years in university and I'm leaving soon to work. Yes. Time flies.

I had mixed feelings when I got the final year enrolment form. I was happy because I can finally l get to learn and feel how will it be to be a journalist. That's what I'm hoping, wishing and waited for so long. Frankly speaking, I thought of writing as my career back during secondary school. Then there was this time that my English teacher said to me that my English was not good enough to write. There! I gave up writing as my dream. Still, once in a while I gathered ideas to write a piece of story, hoping that it will be published one day. That was also the time I decided to changed to advertising because of the creativity and challenges.

Since coming to uni, I was influenced by this so-called theories of being an 'objective viewer', 'watching over the society and government' by this person. This person (better keep it confidential, until my convocation) 're-lightened' my hopes and dreams once more to be a journalist, to write as a profession.

Another feeling I had was sad. I was sad because I'll be leaving the 'school life' soon. I don't think I'm ready for the turning point of working life... How's the working life for me be in the future? No idea. No intention of using a crystal ball to look into it also...

Anyway, that's what I had in my mind. Be ready to take up the challenges as a journalist.

Back to school...

That's the (few) time(s) of the year that I dislike the most: going back to uni. Not that I'm those who had studying, it's just the hectic life I despise the most.

I'm taking only 4 subjects this long semester. Why? I'll be taking the one of the hardest subject in my programme. That's why I need to reduce workload to focus on this subject more. Furthermore, I'd taken the position of Treasurer for PSG. Added workload.
I'm glad that I 'survived' last semester. Don't ask me why. Being grateful that I'm still a solid human being.

1st week of new semester and I had already been given assignments, on my 'every best effort' of completing it... Also I got scolded on the first day... As 'rice bucket'. Left me with much surprise, furious and confusion.

Felt lazy to update my blog since new semester had begun. But I promised before, as long as I'm not caught for Internal Security Act or Multimedia and Communication Act 1998.

Till then...

p/s: Chinese New Year is coming! Gong Xi Fa Cai!!! I'll be celebrating at Subang this year. The 'balik kampung' rush was no longer for me... Prefer Chinese New Year at the city. By the way, I'm going to watch 'The Viral Factor'! Yeah!

Holidays, holidays...

Holidays for me now...!
After my long and hectic semester, it feels so good coming back to holidays. This is the time where I can sleep and sleep, eat and eat, being lazier than ever. Currently, I'm watching (again) those James Bond movies on TV.

Here's the blog update on what happened during my few weeks before finals (others than assignments, studying and finals).

On the beginning of December, I joined my PSG club for the committee members bonding session. We went to Sepang beach for seafood dinner and later the activities near Sepang Gold Coast beach area. Later, we stayed at CCC overnight.
Ok, on that day we went, it was raining the whole day. Yes, whole day.

Chui and Rashwin carrying the mattress to CCC. Used and old mattresses. 

Chairperson of PSG, Yuga. 

Raining, raining non-stop...

Ordering our food. 

Seriously, I skipped lunch on that day and I was hungry like mad. Raining all day and I didn't had a single thing since breakfast... 

Fresh (really?) fish... *Fish said, "Come and eat us..."

Took this picture of the staff cooking to food. Out of curiosity. 

Minutes before the food was served... 

Food had been served!!! 

Group picture. Thanks to Mr. Dennis for it. Unfortunately, he wasn't inside... 

The question and answer session started with Sahbi. The committee members were given questions to be answered. Can't recall all of them. I only remembered few, such as 'What was the first thing you do in the morning?', 'What is your favourite movieline?' and '3 adjectives to describe the best kiss'. 

Next, Yuga. 

Followed by Lai Yee.

The session was moved to the beach later. 

This picture is real funny. This came as a result of a joke. Because of a question, my councillor became the 'joke'. Committees and councillors were laughing towards it. I wasn't paying much attention at that time. The joke suddenly burst out. I have no idea who even started it... 

This was an interesting game. Swing the flip flops ON the table. 

On the other week I went to movie at TGV Seremban 2 with some people that I knew, partly knew, and don't know at all. Well, it's kinda a gathering before finals to relax. 

The guy in the middle was Desmond, Students' Affairs Office's officer. 

That's it for the post. 

More updates coming up...

Video Project...

I'm back! Completed my MPW Moral project. A funny video. Yes. I mentioned it in my 2 previous blog post.
Anyway, the video size is very huge. I'm not going to upload it. No Internet service provider can support, say 10Mbp/s upload speed, not even UniFi.

I just screen shot the video. Read the subtitles and you'll get what's the story was telling...

1.

The wife's pregnant. The husband 'itching' to 'make out'. 

2.

3.

This what he said... His wife rejected him, of course. Later, he left the room furiously.

4.

This is when the drama starts... He looked for a prostitute from, me. That's right... 

5.

This is the 'prostitute', Amy. She's so sexy...!

6.

This is when he went to the doctor to make a blood test... Continue reading, please...

7.

Yes. AIDS. 

8.

The depressed husband after he found out he was HIV positive.

9.

He decided to tell his family and friends about going to a prostitute and infected with HIV.

10. 

His family and friends start to question him...

11.

Finally confesses...

12. 

They start scolding him for that...

13. 

Finally speaks...! 

14.

Shocked...!

15. 

His wife overheard the conversation between him and friend and family members...

16.

Trying hard to apologise... His wife then slaps him and walked away. 

17.

Chases him out... 

18.

Towards the end, his sister and friend told him to come home...

19.

He refuses to do so...

20. 

*The end*

The moral of this story: don't go for prostitution... 

Salutation to those that were involved. Thanks!!!

All Roll In One!

Sorry for being 'missing-in-action' for more than a week. Sincerely apologise.
I think I will be 'missing' for quite some time later since I have 5 assignments due by end of this month. Only completed 1 last night. Be back once my holiday start!

I spared my whole day yesterday to shot my final project video for MPW Moral. Serious hectic. Non-stop. Although I was just in couple of scenes, but as the member of the group I have to be at the shooting from day to night.

OK, tell briefly on what the video's all about. Husband went to look for a prostitute because his wife was pregnant and later contracted HIV. Family and friends were angry and frustrated with him. In the end, they forgave him. Simple as that. But when you want to shoot it, not simple at all.

This is the 'Husband' in one of the scene, depressed after his friends and family kick him out...

The lead actor in the story played by Jeffrey.
His wife, Hwei Yee.
Celist as the prostitute, Amy while I'm the 'mother'.
Soo Peng, Sharon and Charlie also guest star, Jasper as the family and friend.
Last and not least, Hanessa as the commoner.

University Day...

I'm back after a week plus absent!
Frankly speaking, last week would be so far, the most hectic week for my second year. Deadlines, presentations and helping out at University Day.

Yes. My uni held a University Day to celebrate 25 years of founding in the education industry. Previous year they did 'Street Party'. This year, 'University Day'.

I started of my day paying least attention in class. Except when he sings, then I was more focused... OK. That was in the morning.

I was helping for my club, PSG to take care of the booth. We sold jelly and wristbands on that day. Jelly was made by the counsellor, with love. Ha, ha!

Front view of the PSG stall. 

Clubs were setting up their stalls in the evenings. Coincidently, that day, Wednesday was the 9th day of 9th month of the Lunar calendar. The Nine Emperor festival. Yeah, rained all day... 

As all the clubs were setting up, there was rehearsals for that night going on. I heard someone sang 'What Are You Waiting For'. When she stopped singing, I realised it was actually Mizz Nina!!! What on Earth?! She has been singing and I don't realised at all?!

Guess the stall name... RM 1 Corner... All food sold cost only RM 1.

Chocolate marshmallows. I didn't try it. Chocolate is not my favourite.

My friend told me the curry sold in this stall was delicious... 

Yes. Most memorable and my favourite of that night. Korean food. I don't what it called in Korean. Rice cake in sauce. Not spicy. Most important of all, made by Koreans themselves...! 

Not all stalls sell food that day. Some were games stall, like this one. They had the Angry Birds game. A friend who's in charge of this stall asked me to play. But I didn't. I knew I won't get into the holes... 

"Hey you! Wanna mess with me...?!" 

Students getting out after rain stopped... Not really. It was still drizzling... 

This is Thomas. He'll be going for the Student Council (INTIMA) President position, with 2 others. Will he get elected? Not sure? Do I want him as President? Not really... 

Some lecturers came in the evenings too. One of them was my former lecturer. Guess who's that...

Night time... 

President and the Vice of PSG, Yuga and Kelvin.

She's one of the university's councillor. Trying to sell to someone from outside... I'll be in grave if she knew I put up this picture... Ha, ha! 

Fireworks on that night. I hand-picked the best picture to post it up. Yes. Our resource fees are gone... Fireworks show was long.

Of course there's guest performances that night. Mizz Nina, Ling Kah Jun and Desiree. It's very crowded at the stage area plus I'm too tired to go and take pictures of them. I had a presentation tomorrow at 8 a.m. We closed at around 9 p.m. 

That was what happened in my uni last week.

25th year celebration... Right.
