It's been Awhile

it's been awhile since i last posted on my blogger. the 'was' major reason is the laggy wifi.. but it is not a problem already since the utmwifi has much improved over the first year.

the 'now' major reason is that i find facebook more well connected and easily maneuver and hence forth switching into writing there. i guess when we are young, we tend to write alot to prove our indepth. however, when we age, words become shortened and paragraphs become lines. nowadays the facebook status is sorta like my diary. just the shortened version.

for the age of 20 of mine, not much achievements being done.. but i'm glad that i've hopped on the positive spirit. to be serious in studies as i realize i am not so down to earth in the past, and i realize being down to earth can see actually more than being up there. i've been trying to do everything seriously, being responsible. and i find that being responsible equals to gaining myself the everyday laughter. as i become more serious, i feel that i get a better grip of myself. getting serious is not about putting up the serious look on the face and act adult.. it's about knowing what's going on and knowing how to drive my life.

now i just hope for forgiveness from those that my previous 'naive-ness' had hurt. In terms of friendship, relationship and so on.

as i go on, i find that life is short. the next target is to get more pleasant character.. i don't want ended up with everyone 'bey syok' me. it's time to grow up.

lastly, i hope i can be a better person before i reach the age of 21. :)

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.
