Are you rich?



The new semester will commence next week. I have checked the timetable and I am very anxious about the subjects. Oh God!

I also checked on the Career Fair application form on the Intranet by SJPS, ahh-ha! There it goes, finally it's there. Reminds me of paperworks and meetings. There are a lot of activities going on and we will be really busy after this week. (I'm praticaly kinda tired, and my sore throat doesn't seem better.)

I have just typed a cover letter to apply for a scholarship. I don't put high hopes on it, look at the chances and you will know. Any how, I really hope that I can secure a scholarship for my Advance Diploma.

Well most of the reason people apply scholarship or loan is because WE NEED MONEY. We choose to study in TARC is because it is affordable. Expensive and "high-end" universities is not everything, what is the problem of undertaking affordable studies?

Many people take up loans to study in expensive colleges, and say "Why are you studying in TARC? It's is so cheap and useless." (Excuse me, are you rich? Then why are you taking loans?)

Well maybe you are rich, but you are definitely having LOW EQ. The measure of a person is the way how he or she talks. People would respect you if you're a person of high EQ. Even if the person is from a wealthy family, your parents are rich and not you. Whether you will be rich and succeed in your career depends on you.

It is not shameful to admit if you are not rich. But it is shameful and pitiable to act like a rich people when you are not, and being a low EQ person. Be respectful to everyone, just like how we must respect and accept the state of every human being especially the ones that have disabilities.

Voiceless Me



I'm having this sore throat for about few days already. It's not like the normal sore throat that I used to have but it's kinda, you know hard to breathe this time. It makes me cough all the time, I wonder why. =(

I canceled most of my plans because of this cough. And yeah, coughing for the whole day makes me really weak and lazy. I was planning to go out with my friends, but I could not make it in the end. Sad and pathetic me!

My family and I are going to Genting next week. Yeah to watch some kind of magic show (cost about 100 ringgit per person which I'm not sure it is worth or not) and buffet dinner. My dad got us a deluxe room and strange enough, I'm not really excited.

My sister, oh god. We're going there on Wednesday and last night she was bugging her voiceless sister (apparently that's me) about what she is supposed to wear, what should she bring, what we're going to do there.

=.='lll Oh god, I want my voice back.

As we count the years..

It's Sunday morning! I cleaned up my room for the whole day yesterday, sorted out my notes and all my junkies.

I didn't know that I have so many junkies. I saw my kindergarten academic report, my primary school pictures, my secondary school pictures. I feel so old in a sudden, I'm about twenty now. Yeah, you know the kind of feeling when it feels like LONG LONG TIME AGO?

I've become a full-fledged bird. I'm no longer being pampered, and I have to bear the responsibility as a grown up person and full liable of what I wanna achieve.

Just showing some random pictures..

We were fifteen that time. Yoon Keong looks so blur and cute. lol!

Sixteen. Ms Tan Siew Lee was with us that time. She is in TARC now teaching English, she's a great teacher that we all salute!

Missed her "YUHOO~~!!". Sometimes we do hear her "YUHOO~~!!" from the next door when we are having tutorial, memorable one.



I think that was the last time we had gathering. Wonder when we can gather around again?



We didn't see each other for a long time. Had a great time at Genting there, well except Taw Yang. Hard to not notice him sometimes, he always sit at the first few rows in lecture hall. *swt*

This year, they came to my house with a cake. How suprising! I was very moved that time, thank you all!! =)

Few days before exam, I received a call from Su Lan when I was in lecture hall saying "Hey Yin Wan, you still in Malaysia?" I was told that Chien Huey is going to Russia to further her studies. So there it goes, the next few days we are having gathering! Not much people came, but yeah it was fun! Most of the friends have gone to overseas.








We all will reach twenty in no time. And by that time, I would have finished my two years in diploma and moving on to Advance Diploma. Not long after, then we all would have graduated. I'm very excited and very scared at the same time.

I dont wanna be old. I wanna stay the way I am right now, though I'm so old and pretending to be young. Maybe I'm just not prepared.

Am I?

Close, but not too close

Just finished exam. It doesn't feel much like FINALLY that kind of feeling, dont know why. I do not feel the liberty, the merdeka feeling.

I glanced at the exam timetable on my room's wall, it's over? Six subjects ended in this semester. I have two more semesters to go before I graduate, qualifying in Diploma. Can I secure scholarship too for my advance diploma? And which path should I go for after this?

It's been quite some time, a lot of things come around. It's getting tougher, getting closer to the professional accounting standard, and a step closer to be qualified as a professional accountant. Yeah I know, to achieve professional qualification.

Everyone knows. It's gonna be tough. And me myself, I can't imagine myself being a charted accountant as far as I can imagine. Me in nice looking G2000 slack and blazer, talking like a charted accountant. People look at you like.. "Hey look, she's a charted accountant!"
(That's me and Tsin Yi in the pic. XD)

So not me. How can I be one? It feels really different, in a way. Makes me think of some friends in British Council. They are real working professionals with high qualification. I was the youngest there with least qualification. But hey, we can chit chat like "hey hey you you" type. Yeah some of them hold vital positions in certain companies, and I'm glad that I'm part of the gang.



And through CGS, I met a lot of people and learned a lot. I always think when I'm in their shoes, holding top positions in reputable companies. Meeting business people everyday, exchanging business card, socialise and going out for dinner. I start to feel that I should be looking foward for what is laid ahead my path.

It's gonna be potholed and it is not likely that we will go back to the easy ones ever again. It's close but not too close.

Went for Doc, in the end

Just woke up, feeling very drowsy now.

Went for Business Law exam today, I was OMG-ly excited. (terrible english, I know) I memorised the whole chapter of Sources of Law, Law of Tort and Agency, with the sections and sub-sub sections for the past few days even to sleep. Nightmare.

It was a nightmare keeping those stuff in my mind for these few days, with my annonying ear pain and toungue injury. I wished somehow I could add some memory stick into my mind (should go for extra RAM and storage capacity), makes me feel so old. =(

I went into the exam hall and look at the questions..
HEY I KNOW WHAT THE QUESTIONS ARE TALKING ABOUT!
*sweat*

And whether if I can answer the questions or not is another thing.
*double sweat* =.='ll

So yeah after the exam, my dad wanna bring me to some kind of specialist centre but it somehow was not in sight. Kinda lost and went to a clinic in the end after going around Ampang area.

The doc said I'm having some kind of infection in my ears, that's why I'm feeling so drowsy and painful. It's like someone is knocking my head. (Imagine when I'm studying law with all the sections in this situation) For my toungue, it's like an ulcer or something which prohibits me to eat like a NORMAL HUMAN BEING for these few days. It's not normal ulcer I think, it's like being hurt or cut like that.

"Girl, you look pale."
The doctor said. And I was like..

Yeah I suppose.
Who can not be pale memorising the law acts and sections?

Just to share *taking a break*

I guess I do not need a "dangerous shopaholic" tag. My bank statement says it all.

So okay as usual, I just do my thing. My thing. You know?

Did some monitor shopping. My terminology- online shopping without buying. Alright, YET to buy but not sure yet okay.

Just to share some nice stuff when I was browsing. I have fallen head over heels for these stuff! This is so OMG! I swear that my intention was not these, it just somehow came out from no where. Anyway, I have not found what I wanna find yet.

These are gorgeous, aren't they?






*Taking a break*

*Ahhhh, gorgeous!*

One Step At A Time

*As always, please click on the side player if it doesnt autoplay*
*Also, my favourite Jordin Sparks!! Yay!!*
*Read the lyrics, it's really meaningful*

Hurry up and wait
So close, but so far away
Everything that you've always dreamed of
Close enough for you to taste
But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you always wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet
Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it
You know you can if you get the chance
In your face as the door keeps slamming
Now you're feeling more and more frustrated
And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting
We live and we learn to take

[Chorus]
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

[Chorus]
Take one step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly
Or falling in love
It's gonna happen and it's
Supposed to happen that we
Find the reasons why
On step at a time

I love this song so much, been really into this song a lot. It's really meaningful. Yeah exam is getting closer but sometimes we are just rushing too much.

We live and we learn to take
One step at a time
There's no need to rush
It's like learning to fly

You believe and you doubt
You're confused, you got it all figured out
Everything that you wished for
Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours
If they only knew

This is one of the songs that I'm into, and I find it really helpful. Well yes, I do procrastinate sometimes. Anyhow, I find that if we rush too much we might not be able to make it.

Let it be. Take one step a a time.

When you can't wait any longer
But there's no end in sight
It's the faith that makes you stronger
The only way you get there
Is one step at a time

OMG, I feel so old!



The pictures were taken on Monday with my ex-classmates. There are more, I have yet enough time to upload the pictures here. I logged in my Facebook, for like once in ten years time. And guess what?

I feel so old there. OMG! It's so cool. My friends tagged me there and I saw a lot pictures and friends requests. So cool! I'm so gonna learn this after exam.

Facebook, here I come!
Yeah yeah i know, I'm old.

Let's Get Started

I always love songs in acoustic version. It somehow rouse and appeals to my sentiment, reaches the weariness of my camouflage.

A lot of things come around these days and I do not blog every single particular about it. I went to a gathering this week, it was a farewell party for a friend of mine. It makes me feel like, back to the old times. It's really been a while, a long time.

Looking at my path, I have no idea what is ahead. What I'm going to face, and whether I'll be able to succeed. I still have a long way to go..

I heaved a long sigh and grit my teeth.
Let's get started, shall we?
