Matrix Card Lost

Aiks.. Don't know what happened to my laptop.. Just now I already typed the whole passage but now gone.. I have to re-type.

Last Saturday I bought a formal coat in JUSCO. I ironed it and sprayed it with Febreeze because I really like the coat very much. When I wore it to class this Tuesday, I lost my matrix card.. Not that I'm very superstitious, I'm quite saddened by this case.

When I asked a fellow Mr Eeu for help, he even laughed at me by replying me "So fast?" Meaning, I lost my Student ID or we call it matrix card so fast. Very shameful since I'm only in the university for not more than one month. I planned to scan my first matrix card and upload it here.. but looks like I'm too slow.

Thanks to my partner Hang, or Zhi Hang. He helped me to look for the card as well as accompanied me though the hours when I'm helpless and down. Early this morning he also went to search for my card together with me even my class started 2 hours later. Argh.. It's late. Night daddy mommy granny sis n bro.

Bowling and Carom Selection for SUKAM

Both bowling and carom are very popular here. Many people volunteer to join the game. I myself never even once step foot into the bowling centre. However, thanks to my gang, they pull me to join.

We went to play in Skudai Parade 5th floor this afternoon. I really starts from zero. I don't even know the position I should pose when playing and I don't even know how to hold the ball properly, needless to mention all the terms. I learnt a lot of things today. Such as the word 'strike' is used when u empty the lane. And also they have special shoes for the game. My scores is in fact not bad.. I'm very proud of myself.

In fact, I even strike twice in the 3 rounds of bowling game. Very shy.. Haha.. I'm not a very sports spirited person all the while.



I was selected to represent my college for the carom competition as well. Thrilled! I will surely do my best for KRP. ^^ I hope I will be selected for the bowling game as well. Haha.. :) Bowling is sure a fun activity.

This evening, I went for basketball training as well. I am still okay at the part of ball-dump.. But, when it comes to the real scenario of the game, I'm too soft to block my opponents. I myself also don't like the pushy body contact and so on. Hence for basketball I don't think they will select me. But still, it's a very good experience for me.

Tomorrow is JUSCO Card Member Day

JUSCO is one of the nearest shopping mall to UTM. It's inside the University Park. My friend that happen to be going tomorrow will help me to stock my Marigold Peel Fresh Apple and Grapes with Aloe Vera. Thank god.

I never realize that the Marigold Peel Fresh juices play such important part in my life till now. Upon the first 2 weeks here, I'm constipated. Maybe I still didn't adapt to the food here. Until last Saturday, our senior took us out to JUSCO. I went to 'store' food as if war is coming. Lol. I took the risk to buy the big box of the apple juice. Since I have no fridge, I shared the apple juice with my friends. And I left some for experimenting. It's about one week now and the juice is still in good condition even I don't put it in the fridge. (ps: I don't have a fridge over here in my hostel, and to bring a fridge here, I will need to pay RM50 for it a semester.

Okay, back to last Saturday. After buying, we already missed the bus. It's night and rained heavily. The crowd in the bus and taxi station is sardin-packed. Really frustfrating. It's a miracle that we don't have to stand there for more than 5 minutes. There is a taxi coming and without thinking I act spontaneously by jumping into the taxi. All my seniors and friends were shocked. They still didn't realize what's going on. Thanks to my reflex.

After getting on the taxi, the driver asked whether we know or not the cost of the ride. I replied RM5. He replied again by saying RM6 since we bought a lot of things. He said I'm an 'old-bird'. Lol.. He told me the new freshmen here will only stand there and wait for the taxi to reach the front of their face. Lol.. I just simply said ok and my gang of course laughed out loud, roaring, because we're just into the university for not even 2 weeks yet.

HAhahahaha.. 

Sports and Co-curricular Activities

SUKAM is a big event in UTM and our college Rahman Putra is the host for SUKAM for quite some years. Our college is likely to be the best college in sports compared to other colleges in UTM. Also our college is the most strategic of all in UTM because it's near the central of the university. Everybody is dying to enter our college that has the capacity of 3000 over students. ( mahasiswa/ mahasiswi )

I've been very sporting in all kinds of events since I'm here in UTM because I feel that everything here is once in the life time experience. Also, I heard there's some quotas for active students. I hope KRP wants me.. lol..

For the coming SUKAM I will be taking parts in 8 sports event. Archery, Basketball, Chess, Drought, Carom, Scrabble, Sahibba, and also Aerobic Dance competition. Of course the other 3 of my gang will also go along with me.. This is one of our master plan in UTM.. :)

I also planning to enter the Malaysian Navy Association. I suggested this to my parents and they ended up very disapprovingly. Hmmph.. A hard decision to make. The activities for the Navy is very interesting and highly challenging. If I don't do all those stuff now, I'm not going to have other chances to do them later when I'm old. Maybe I will have to drop this because no girls ( chinese ) wants to enter the Navy with me. :-/

There are also other interesting co-curricular activities here in UTM. A few that catches my attentions are below:-

Culinary Group - All the cooking materials and apparatus are provided. And free food too. lol

SRC Hiking Group- We have trekking, night walk, mountain bike, roping, and kayaking here.

Golf Group- Private golf club and membership.

Scuba Dive- Joining this will have lifetime membership and also lifetime diving licence.

Equins- Private horse-riding club with membership. Joining this will learn a lot of horse riding technique, as well as how to take care of a horse properly including 'horse language'.

 

Suggestions?

The beginning of SEM I

My class starts this week, meaning homework follows too. I have difficulties to remember what I learnt during STPM. Luckily I brought my MR. SIM's Organic Chemistry notes. Phew.. The notes really help a lot. I have a very excellent Prof. Madya teaching me organic chemistry. I think she is the best lecturer I ever have. I want everyone to know her-PROF MADYA DR. ZAINOHA ZAKARIA. She's great!

Also, the educational system in UTM is different. Our courses have speed tests and quizzes at anytime. This is a good thing since we will be working our butts off everyday. :) A kind of motivation for me that always like to laze around. I will have study group with my gang here every night. I really hope these will go on for the next coming years. I feel my life is actually more fulfilling when I do everything seriously.

This semester I have to take microbiology, intermediate mathematics, statistics, organic chemistry, and also Islamic and Asian civilization TITAS. The schedule for classes is very light compared to STPM where we have many lessons cramp together in a week. In here, we have only 2-6 hours of classes everyday. This is a good thing because we have more flexible time to do revision and also to do some sports and other activities.

Answering to daddy's question here, how are the lecturers performing here? To me, every lecturer I have met is a Dr. or Prof Madya, they sure have their capabilities in the fields they are familiar with. So far, I can follow their classes. A short record of appreciation here for having such nice lecturers. However, I don't know why this whole week I've not met my Microbiology lecturer yet. He or she has been absent through the first week. I hope I can get to see the lecturer at tomorrow, which is Friday and also the last day of my first week of lesson here.

Sleep-Over

In the Western countries, friends sleeping over at friends house is considered normal. My parents doesn't let me sleep-over however.

Facing my writer's block due to monotonal life in static these days, my friends suddenly suggested to sleep-over at my room. :) What an experience! And so, Mung Hsia and Yuwei pushed Phaik Chuen's empty bed over beside my bed and the 3 of us had pillow talks till 1 something am..

Suddenly at about 5am I jumped up.. ( I'm not a morning person, but in my hostel bedroom I always jump up an hour or so before my alarm rings. ) And through 'glancing', I managed to see the sleeping face of Mung Hsia and Yuwei.. Haha.. Shh.. Luckily I didn't see any saliva drooling.. ( ps: I think they will belasah me if they see what I write here )

ps2: daddy, the condition of the digi broadband deteriorates..I can't even sign in my MSN. Maybe it's the coverage problem. Inside our campus has the DC (Digi Campus Booth) I think I will go there and ask them to settle this problem for me. Not very happy with the service now.

Carpet Meeting

In England, they have Round Table, but in UTM, what we have is only carpet plus the square table (printer box). haha. Last night I set up the straw carpet in the middle of my bedroom. I used the printer box as the 'square table'. Also, I used Pei Jun's blanket as the table mat. Shhhhhh.......

And so the four of us had our sacred top secret meeting. Malaysia government like to organize jamuan before any events, and so we as the children of Malaysia, we also have the Malt Choc before the meeting starts.

Ok, I have the writer's block now. tada, next topic.

Surprise from daddy

Daddy bought me a 3 in 1 printer today. I'm so thrilled. He bought everything in one hour. Fast! That's great. I will plan my usage properly. Maybe I can start a printing and photocopy or scanning business in UTM. Haha.. What do u think dad? It's a canon PIXMA MP145 Canon. Simple outlook and good functions with maintenance service. Here is the seller's details.. Daddy pls check out..

Zodiac Story

I've met friends from all over Malaysia. We notice that the mandarin and dialects we speak are different. So one of my friend, Grace suggested that we use the 12 Zodiacs as example to differentiate the different assimilated dialect. So she ask me to speak out the 12 zodiacs in Hokkien.. In Penang, my Hokkien is kinda lame. But here.. I'm queen. lol.. Rat, Cow, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Chicken, Dog, Pig. I can speak really fluently in one 12seconds. This, again is a private joke. lol.. Since then, they frequently tell me to present my 'talent' to different people. :)

Spooky- Ah Piao

Schools are always a good scene for spooky stories. Same thing goes for UTM. Sad cases happened all the while. This remind me to be more careful for the sake of the people that love me.

I prefer myself to be quite gallant but when it comes to 2 things I'm as timid as a little mouse and make myself a joke in front of others. The first thing is cockroach. Even I have a can of insecticide in my hand, I can't even spray at it. Second thing is the spooky stuff.. Ghosts.. One of my friends name them Ah Piao.. I'm scared to death these few days hearing all sorts of stories by the seniors. Every night I'm terrified to off the lights before sleeping. I shut the window panes tight and clip the curtains with dozens of clips before sleeping.

Recently, everyone speaks of Ah Piao.. It's because there is a female student found dead in her bedroom in K09. Her death is due to excessive bleeding after deliver the baby in her own room. The baby died too unattended. They're discovered only after few days in her doom. I sincerely hope and wish that they find peace. Rumours say that the baby belong to one of the fellows in the university. That's all I know. I'm not supposed to say anymore. This is my own respect for the female student. I only quote this for the information of my close family and friends. I hope 'they' don't mind. I'm sorry if I do offended anyone. What a sad story. 

Thanks Daddy for DIGI Broadband

I'm touched because my daddy brings me some presents to Johor. He departed last late night and rush here this morning merely to hand me my DIGI broadband. My grandmother comes along too and also brother KIM. He looks thin but he's quite muscular when he took off his shirt.. lol..Anyway I miss granny a lot. ( She's now beside me :> ) I hope my siblings are all here too. It's been a whole long week since I see them. I cannot play 'pajor' with my little bro too.

My daddy subscribes DIGI broadband to ease my Internet usage in UTM. The DIGI EDGE has a USB modem. Only now that I know USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. That's cute. I've always think that Bill Gates is a playful person. His Windows XP if you would notice, the words X & P form a face with a tongue sticking out. That's how I see it.. And, my sister is happy because my dad subscribes the DIGI business plan together with the broadband service. Thus changing our pre-paid to post-paid. So my sister finally has her own SIM card. Congrats.. ( yy, u r so lucky.. I only register SIM card when I'm 17.. and also registered myself leh ) The SIM here stands for Subscriber Identity Module. Oops.. would you guys think that I'm doing promotion for DIGI? But yes, I love DIGI.. I support DIGI. I use DIGI for my whole life. :)  The best in Malaysia.

Daddy reached early in the morning today, so I finally have the chance to online with my own laptop hence to search some books in the PSZ library. A little bit of intro here about my library: Our library consists of 5 floors with automated borrowing & return books system more so with a built in mini theatre. I guess that will be my favourite corner in the future. I'm grateful to be one of its members.  

Daddy also bring me the bags I ordered from China here to Johor for me. They are all extremely  especially the Boston bags. They are of very high quality. Who says things from China are not reliable?

MHS- Kolej Rahman Putra

What is MHS? It stands for Minggu Haluan Siswa or orientation. I have a lot of fun in this week. I Love UTM, my university. It's so huge. I hope I can know all the routes and its whereabouts in these 4 years in UTM.

Also, within this week I've known bunches of new peoples and friends. My newest besties are Grace, Yu Wei, Meng Xia, Qing Ru, Li Ting, Wei Yi, etc.. I still don't remember the names of other people... However, I'll try my best. Also, I meet a senior from CLHS named KC aka Qi Quan aka SQ.. lol.. those that know this will laugh out loud.. ahemm.. ok, he's a nice guy.. and he's been really helpful.. and most of all, my mom likes him best.. She even took the initiative to ask his phone number for me. She told me he is quite good looking.. lol.. ( the lol here doesn't mean I deny the statement, but it's so not my mom..perhaps she's tired of me already and want to get rid of me.. haha.. :P )

The whole MHS week is very memorable to me. After all, this is my first time to be accepted by a university.  A very jolly and fun week! I've volunteered into the MHS night choir performance.. The actions for the song- I Have A Dream has now become a private joke among my gang.. lol.. can't help to laugh now.. I'll upload the video here after my friend upload it.. ( mom, pls rmb to check for updates ya! )  Also, our gang is the CHARLIE ANGELS EXPLORER GANG.. We've done many humorous things and also like to explore the UTM compound ourselves. Once, we try to be clever to take the shortcut route to the C08 Biosciences classroom, alas, it turns out that we went to the wrong destination. :-/ Thanks to Mr Eew for his tour around the campus, now we manage to see almost the whole parts of UTM Skudai. I begin to love my new life here buzzing with friends.

The day before yesterday, we have a private opening ceremony for my electric stove. We cooked noodles secretly in my room.. That was fantastically fun! Oh, mom, I notice that when I put in the honey into iced water the honey will solidify.. I've never experience such before. Anyway, what a meal we have..

After that we went to JUSCO, and to a fashion shop. I mistaken eye-liner for eye-shadow... lol.. I test the eye-liner at my eyelids. Looks like I need to brush up my English even though I had band6 for my MUET.. So I ended up being named 'eye-liner girl'..zz.. funny. Oh, pa and ma, my friends also call me 'electronic girl'.. It's because I brought so many electrical devices with me.. But I would like to say thank you to both of you. Because of what you give, my life in UTM is comfortable.
