Merdeka!

Forget about Hubugan Etnik, disregard exams just for today~ let's whip up the celebration of your country's independence!

Celebrating 50th years of nationhood, Malaysia has entered a new phrase in the history. 50 years you know? Our country was just a tiny, unnoticeable dot on the globe. That was when our forefathers fought for our country's independence and everything that's cited in our history text book. (I was not born yet, not even in the process)

"August 31? Yippee holiday!" That was what I used to think when I was a little. I had no idea how momentous the day of our country's independence was. and yeah, the word "merdeka" signifies the liberty after examination. I wonder, how is it like when our country rejoices the anniversary of independence. Is it just like how we feel after examination?

Year in and year out, it has been quite a lot of concerns and inevitably people is still hyping the buzz these days. and yeah, it's not a fame in any kind. There have always been a lesson after the tales, which are the reflections of our triumphs. Maybe that's what that made us a better nation. You know, Malaysia Boleh!

Malaysia aint flawless. We came together as a blend of diverse races, ethnics and perspectives. Chauvinism, discrimination and fallacy are bound to happen. Think of the good thing about Malaysia, we are who we are. We have our manglish, our mamak stall, our teh tarik.. That's our forte! =)

We are same same lah.*practicing my manglish*

I'm so going to pass my Hubungan Etnik examination next week. hahaha..

8TV Trip

We took part in a trip to 8TV station, which was organized by Accounting Society. It was really a nice trip! To get to know the broadcasting world out there, was really a great experience.

Media Prima Station. Do you know that Media Prima plays a significant position in dominating the media world? They have TV3, NTV7, 8TV, TV9, Hot FM, Fly FM, etc. Awesome!!

When you step in the building, they have loads huge plasma TVs at each angle and you just can't miss them! You can watch the programmes on the spot. All you need to do is to grab a chair~

Live from Hot FM! It's just a few steps away from the main entrance. You know, much like an aquarium because every pass-by-er can see what is going on inside. Check out those computer stuff (what do you call those?) Really cool~

This..err.. this is the main unit system. Don't underrate those wires and plugs wor, without them the whole broadcasting stuff is nil.

Can you guess where is this? Looks familiar right? Is it Mini Cooper?

Bingo~ that's right! Live from "8864"! Yeah we are on air.. the car is really cute!

Our cute lecturer, Mr Soo and us on air! Check out the sign..

mummy, I'm on the tv!!

Supprisingly, both "8864" and "Quickie" studio are combined! The opposite of the "8864" set is for the "Quickie". It's not really big as it seems on TV.. really crammed. And how do the hosts bounce up and down in such a small space? Like what Gary Yap or Phat Fabes and Rina used to do. Incredible!

I forgot to switch on the flash. But it turned out very nice right..artistic! I love the picture behind us! Arty~

Now with the flash on. The picture is so nice!! Actually, it's just a board. How special it is!

We managed to grab Mr Soo into the picture as well. He is so so cute!! Hehee..

This is what we get as souvenir. Really nice! But I think, what we have learned weighed much more that what was given to us.

Happy Ending..

Dizzy Creepy

"Val.."
"Hmm..?"
"Do you know that.. we have 3 minutes left!!"
"Yes..i know! That's why I'm writing so fast~!!"
"Val..we are not writing novels, are we??!"

Today Pete came in with a box of stuffs like a teddy bear, a stick-on note, a pill (maybe it's a supplement), a hammer (real hammer), a book, etc. We were told to write a mystery story and we must use some of the tools in our story. It can be an unsolved mystery like Isidor Fink or Loch Ness monster.

To write a mystery story within 20 minutes aint easy. It requires a lot of thinking and planning. Though it was quite a rush but it was really fun! Izzy took over because he said I was writing like novels. hahaa~ And so, Izzy.. I'm writing this is just for you. Proudly presents, the story of Val and Izzy, DIZZY CREEPY! (The title was his idea)

Nicole and Natalie were close friends who lived in hostel in XX university. They were interdependent and likely can't live without each other. During the weeks preceding examination, the horror crept into Nicole and played havoc on her. The bogey of examination harassed her and she hardly sleep well. So, she took quite a lot of pain killers to put her asleep. Then one day..

It was a tranquil night. Nicole woke up feeling not comfortable, in the midst of darkness and it was twelve midnight. She wanted to go to the ladies but she was afraid to go alone. In her wooziness, Nicole roused and woke up her roommate Natalie, who was sleeping to go along with her. After a trip to the ladies, they headed back to their room.

Nicole thanked Natalie and apologized for jolting her up in the midst of her sleep. She then told Natalie to go to bed first as she wanted to tidy up her study table. Well, her table was indeed a mound of mess with a mishmash of books, notes, snacks, etc. As she was tidying, a note which was attached on the top book caught her eyes. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she read..

Nicole, just a quick note to tell you that I'm not around. I received a call from my parents just now when you were asleep and I have to rush back to my hometown. 'll tell you more when I'm back next week. Bye! -Love, Natalie

Astonished with her mouth widen, Nicole stood in stupor. If Natalie was not here, who did she dragged just now? Nicole remained silence, not looking back at Natalie's bed..

Out of the Ordinary

I feel the anxiety of examinations. Ahh..exams! Life is about passing the assessment, get good results, live a great life, is it? Nonetheless, hassling about life is pointless now.

It's been quite a while, since college life starts. And the first semester will end with examination, the ending closure. Procrastinating all the time, I'm kinda lazy sometimes. Ahh~I'm just too tired. >.<

People tend to say that I'm atypical, going to bed in the wee hours and wake up before dawn. The strange thing is, I'm bouncing up and down the next day whereas those who went to bed early look languid. (Sometimes I snore in the class too) I can't deny that I'm kinda out of the ordinary, but it's really demanding. Sometimes I don't know how much longer I can bear a life like this. Anyway, it's not an eulogize in any kind. I don't think I deserve a credit for that.

You might say, what is so hard to go to bed early? yeah it's easy but not for me. It depends on one's fortitude and who you really are. No one has the precise answer for what one should do. Maybe I'm just too fixated with everything or I'm just too thorough..

Everyone is different and nobody is perfect. But the only thing you can do is work towards a better one you could be.

Pit-Stop

In today's sophisticated world, keeping up with the Joneses is what we tend to do. Keeping on the track is what we all do, but then.. what is the main rationale behind it?

Life is full of ups and downs. There are times for us to chuckle, weep, trauma, relax. Nobody complains about the good times but everybody complains about the dreadful times. We are never satisfied, aren't we?

Often I reward myself with the small stuffs, which you may not want to know. haha~ A "reward" is like a pit-stop in life. A station for you to take a break before you carry on. You don't need to get yourself a huge trophy, as a tiny thing that cost you not much will do the trick.

yeah it's certain that we don't have sufficient time. Sometimes we wish that we have 48 hours in a day so that we can do many things simultaneously. What I mean is.. you just need to spend some time for yourself, to do you really what to do. It does not have to be something significant nor beneficial. You may do stuff like lying on the sofa with your MP3, crapping some stuff, blogging, or buying something for yourself. Well basically that's what I usually do..haha =)

The main thing is, you are doing this for yourself. That's what life is about, you will not lose anything by doing something good for yourself. Allocate some time for yourself and you will find that this is a pit-stop that's going to help you go further. yeah it works!

Vulnerable

Status: not fully-recovered. (it's horrible to be sick)

In case you wanna know, it's 12am. I keep on telling myself that I'll go to bed early but in the end I end up questioning myself. What on earth I'm doing right now in the midst of midnight where everyone is snoring in bed?! 0_O

I was doing Business Statistics(BS) but then I stopped. You know..I was doing really fine these days in BS. All the chapters, I muddled through quite okay.. even the coursework exams. Surprisingly, my BS got the highest mark among the other subjects in coursework test, even IA. I was stunned. I never thought that I could do so well.

Till this chapter, Estimation and Confidence Intervals. I find it really hard for me to understand the formula and the definitions. Which kind of questions goes to which formula, what is the question talking about, etc. Kinda frustrated.. I did tried really hard to understand but eventually I failed to do so no matter how many times I read. This is the first time I feel that BS is too profound for me to understand. Sigh..

Do you know how it's like being vulnerable? When I was doing the tutorial, I became desperate and helpless. That moment, I thought of Mr Govind. I really wish he were here to guild me. Whenever I face dilemma in maths stuff or economics, he is the one that comes across my mind. I know it's impossible yet I really wish that someone could help me through all this.

Mr Govind, I do.. thought about you sometimes. I know I'm on my own right now. I really want to prove to you that, I can do this on my own. yeah i will.. Gambateh val..

Sick

I tried.. I really tried my best but I was hit down by the medicine that eventually put me to sleep for 12 hours. This morning, as I roused in the midst of drowsiness and stretched my small eyes (mate sepet) and stared at the clock..

7..8..9..10?!! It's 10am?!
*counting my fingers*

OMG~ I had slept for 12 hours, which is 3 days of my sleep. (4hours*3days=12hours) Yesterday after tutorial classes in the morning, I skipped 3 hours lecture and went to clinic. The pain and the woozy thing in my head was unbearable. I got myself some medicine and headed back to college again.

I had to go back to college because I need to hand in our BITA assignment, despite of my lethargy. My obstinacy won my dad's in the end and so I went back to college again. haha~ My friends were like stunned when they saw me. It was really a relief for me after I handed in our assignment though I was really sick.

The medicine which was kinda strong put me to sleep an hour later. Reluctant to go to bed that early at first, but then finally I gave up because I couldn't stand anymore. I went to bed at 10pm (which was too early for my ordinary routine) and that was what had happened. 12 hours of sleep! owww.. A sense of guilty engulfed me for the whole day..

I guess I was wrong. I'm not as tough as I thought I could be. Well, I'll end this post with a quotation from me myself..

Take good care of yourself! Believe me, you don't want to be in my position right now. And, the most important is.. SLEEP EARLY! =)

CO-Q Day

Last Saturday was Co-Curricular Day and was the last day of our Gym Workout. Supposing we were performing the Body Pump, but then.. it didn't work out really well because the music ends before our last move, which is the core part of the performance. *Bowling+Golfing+Archery* Anyway, it's really fun at the gym!
