Unexpected Thing Happening

Well, well, will be a short blog entry. I just want to share interesting thing that happened today.
It rained REAL heavily today, and I really mean it! And while it rains, the lightning strikes. And the sound of it was really loud that the my room was like shaking. At that time, I was taking a short nap as I was tired, 3 something in the afternoon. And guess what, there is no electricity in the room.

I do not really care about it cos there is no electricity quite often here, probably due to the heavy rain everyday or upgrading that is happening here. One hour later, I discovered that my room was the only room without electricity after asking around, so I went to the hostel office to complain about it and within 15 minutes, a staff went into my room to fix the electric box (dunno what to call it), thought to be a trip. And yet after she fixed it, there is still no electricity in the room.

She asked me to go online to report it. Strangely for here in MMU, the electricity source socket and switches are different that even though there is no electricity, there is electric source for the sockets. So I go online to report the matter to FMD (Facilities Management Department) and within 15 minutes, they are here in my room and yeah, the lights are working and not the fan. Probably due to the lightning that strikes while it is switched on.

They try to fix the fan thinking that it probably due to some wiring problem. Not working too. So in the end, the worker told me that I have to use a stand fan instead on the wall ceiling fan as the ceiling fan is out of stock.

It's hard for me to take up 2 fans up to my room as I am staying on the highest floor (4th floor or Level 5 in case you are confused) , I must be crazy if I can take 2 fans up from the lowest floor up 5 level and wait till my room mate back to the room. And the two of us took the 2 fans up to our room, a tiring work I would say. I do feel tired even though I climbed the stairs every day, always wondering when I will reach my room. In addition to it, I am taking a stand fan (1 metre tall) up to my room. Imagine that!

Well, it's OK now. We have our own seperate fan for each and it is nice to use it to blow the wind directly to my direction when the day is warm but not now (rainy season)... haha.

But praise the staff here for responding to complaint so quickly. Now, that's what I call efficient workers.

That's all for now. Done with the crap.

Looking Out My Window

Well, well, tonight I'm going to have my first quiz of this semester - Microeconomics - which I really do not have any clue before... cos I'm a Science student, haha. It contribute a whooping 15% of the total marks for this course. Tired of studying, wanna post something in my blog.

This morning when I woke up, I saw a scenery that I never saw here in MMU. Looking out, I can see that there is thick mist, a scenery that you can see in Genting Highlands all the time and not here!! It's not that something so special, but it is a rare thing since I came here to MMU. And neither it is not raining heavily nor the temperature is exceptionally low. Haha, silly me, I took a picture of it! You can compare it with the pics that I post previously and you will notice that there is a vast difference between them. Too tired to upload those pics again, haha... some lazy people, huh?

This morning at 8.15 am looking out my window with the mist looking so nice - a scene where you can find in Genting Highlands so easily but not here in MMU.

That's all for now. Gonna study for the quiz tonight. Wish me Good Luck!

Quality Time that We Spent...

Well, well, I got a few feedbacks based on the previous blog that I had written. Thanks for all the feedbacks even though some of it might be sharp. I know, I should be satisfied with what I have and go on with my life. Give me some time and I'll be fine. Even wound needs time to heal; and mine is a heart. Heart takes a longer time to heal from wounds.... Regrets, there's nothing I can do about it... But I will do the best during my university life, no matter what.

My beloved cousin Singy, I can't comment on what your feeling is as I am not in your shoes but since you are already about to graduate and you are bearing the hope of your parents, nothing much you can do about your course of choice but to go on. Pursue your interest when you graduated from university =)

Don't talk about those crappy things anymore. Last Saturday, 18th November 2006, I went out with my best girlfriends (female friends, not the lesbian type). We went to Bukit Bintang, to celebrate Yuen Mei's birthday which falls on the 17th November 2006. We had a real fun time hanging out together since all the 5 of us present (including Nean Hua which is busy all the time). Time passed so quicky as we shop around Times Square and went to Delifrance in Times Square for the value-for-money lunch but alas, the cafe is not there anymore and we went to Delifrance in Sungai Wang for lunch only to find that lunch time is over without nothing much left (the time is 3pm) and the only thing available is tea time meal...

We decided to just go to Nando's for lunch instead (our original plan). The chicken there was really nice especially the 'Flaming Hot Peri-Peri' sauce which the ultimate level of hot sauce one can get there, with some of us feel hot even though it is just 'Hot' flavour. And then there's the present for the Birthday Girl, a necklace with a pendant with letter 'M' sybolises Yuen Mei's name and a ring that symbolises our friendship in a gift box that I made myself! Proud of it but nagged by my mum for staying late just to make it... sigh, I should have take a pic of the box.

After that, we went to shop around Sungai Wang before finally go to photo booth there to take pictures. Selecting the machine was a long process which took us about 20 minutes to look for the machine which had the fair number of pics for 5 of us and finally settled for one! Asked for help from the shop worker as we had difficulties understanding Japanese instructions. Had a fun time taking pics with those strange poses and faces which comes with a time limit that we had to rushed through it. Then we went to Lot 10 to take some pics and shop around before finally went home at 7pm.

Had a real fun time that day, my best girlfriends, cos there is not much chances for the complete 5 of us coming out together. And to tell the truth, they are really good at shopping, walking for hours without feeling tired!

Me with the 'tall' Christmas tree in Lot 10 with a new perm. Really a surprise for they all as I kept it a secret so that I can show them when we came out. My curls kinda get straight already as I combed my hair when it is wet which is a no-no. Can't blame me though, as this is the first time I permed my hair (just like CW who washed his hair after he dyed it on the first night, hehe)... should have take more pics when i just got the perm...

Me and the Birthday Girl, Yuen Mei with the dwarf Christmas tree. Yuen Mei, Yuen Mei, one year older already... growing older comes with responsibilities, haha....

Some of the pics that we took at the photo booth (there is time limit for it that we don't even have time to pose for the pics):

Starry starry day with the 'stars' (you girls) of the day shining!

Fab 5 [Clockwise from top left] Sharron, me, Wan Teang, Nean Hua and Yuen Mei...

Frenz 4eva!

That's all for now. This will be the last birthday Yuen Mei gonna celebrate here before leaving to the US next year to further her studies. Luckily we make use of the time that we had together to leave some good memories for her....

Blues, Blues Please Go Away

New trimester has already started. Checked my results a few days ago and it was better than I expected consider the fact that I did badly in my exam cos I can't complete a few questions for some papers. If I did that in Form 6 sure I had screwed my paper and get grade like C+. Critical Thinking and Applications in Management is the subject that I scored the best with an A. Worst, gotta be Financial Accounting with B+, which I did not like since I was in secondary school and a subject Managerial Accounting is coming up in the third trimester, sigh.

Don't know why I still feeling blue even the new trimester had started. It is not going away, it is getting worse. Slept a lot these days, lost interest in activities, a sign of stress as my cousin put it. I guess it is so. Even the results that I got can't make me feel happier. Getting good results in my studies doesn't mean that I like what I am studying.

I had been thinking a lot during the holidays. My parents maybe right about something. I can't give up on Science that I studied for 4 years in school. They had been hoping that I can study in Science stream and me too expected to get an offer in the courses that I like and instead, I got an offer in Management, which is not my top interest. I only had myself to blame for filling in the choice in my application form. If only I did not fill Management in one of the column. Why did the government had to be so cruel? Some of my friends don't even get the courses that they wanted and had no choice but to go on with their studies in local universities (a harsh reality to us Form sixers as we put more efforts into our studies compare to Matriculation students and yet they get their choices easier than us).

Money really matters, A LOT. If I had the money, I sure be studying what I wanted now. I'm sure all people feel this way too.

I know, no turning back now, have to continue on with my studies in MMU as I had chose it. No regrets, don't look back, these are the comments that I got or going to get. But I can't help feeling it as I am the person that always go for what I want. I think I must do something about it before my emotion is getting worse and being in this small miserable hostel room is not helping.

From what I observed, people that is not doing the thing that they are not interested might feel the regrets in their life. Someone even told me that the regrets might be forever.... Am I making the right choice? Only time will tell....

I think I am suffering from stress and burnout. Any help for me out there?

*To Joon Sing, thanks for your comment there and make a effort to read my blog. I appreciate it. Hope that you can do well in your studies and do what you feel like doing... The disappointment that I feel is just temporary.

*To Kelly, thanks for your comment. I think I missed you because I can't cope with the changes that is so sudden. But nothing we can do about it, as we are pursuing our dreams. Hope that we can keep in touch. Nice to have a friend like you. ;-)

Puzzle of My Heart

Semester break is almost over. I did nothing much at home these 3 weeks, most of the time just sleep, eat and watch TV. This is the time to unwind before preparing myself for the next semester which starts next week. Just got the news from my cousin in Australia that he will only be back here for a month instead of 3 months (a disappointment to my cousins and my siblings too since we will be together for hanging out).

Well, feel a little blue during the whole break for no particular reason. Feel so easily get tired nowadays, nothing excites me anymore... Saw Lien Ghee's blog, suddenly I miss her presence here just like she miss her own home. Whatever it is, I think I should grow up and don't just consider that things will not change... I should accept changes but sometimes I think this is too much for me to take with all those things happening so fast... Feel like 3 weeks is not enough for me to rejuvenate myself. MMU's term for one year is different from other university as this university consists of 3 trimesters which is really hectic compare to other uni which is really crazy sometimes... I think I had develop a phobia for studying right now. Enough of all this crap now as I don't want to deepen my phobia for studying...

I want to share with all of you the song that I like so much that I never grow bored of listening to it. It is 'Puzzle of My Heart' performed by Westlife, my favourite band. The song had been accompanying me through thick and thin since I was Form 2. I listen to it when I was happy or sad, and it makes me feel happier and forgot my worries. It is my most listened songs and I only get a chance to really enjoy the song during this break words by words, notes by notes and no other song that can replace it as my favourite and you guys can probably notice that the title of the blog is the same as the title of the song... and I want to share and immortalise the lyrics of the song in this blog...

Puzzle of My Heart
Written by: Jorgen Elofsson/Andrew Fromm
Performed by: Westlife

It's the way she fills my senses
It's the perfume that she wears
I feel I'm losing my defences
To the colour of her hair

And every little piece of her is right
Just thinking about her
takes me through the night

(CHORUS)
Every time we meet
The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew from the very start...
She's the puzzle of my heart

It's the way she's always smiling
That makes me think she never cries
I feel like I'm losing my defences
To the the colour of her eyes
And every little piece of her is right

Every time we meet
The picture is complete

Every time we touch

The feeling is too much

She's all I ever need

To fall in love again

I knew from the very start...

She's the puzzle of my heart

Like a miracle she's meant to be
She became the light inside of me
And I can feel her like a memory from long...ago

Every time we meet

The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much

Every time we meet

The picture is complete
Every time we touch
The feeling is too much
She's all I ever need
To fall in love again
I knew from the very start...
She's the puzzle of my heart

That's all for now.
