Graduation Night & My missing "C" button!

Hey hey, so the graduation night is on my birthday. Haha. A really big thank you for all of you that wished me and also made the graduation night so memorable for me. =p Thank you, thank you. Really appreciate it. Hehe.

Everything went well through out the night...The video i made still rather well received by the audience...especially the super-imposing picture of Mr. Mustafa. Haha. I was suprised to receive the Achievement Award...don't know how i got it ><" Must be lucky. Hehe. Oh well, in the end my friends got me a cake and the whole hall sang birthday song for me. Hehe. Really thanks to my friends who planned it, even though it's last minute. Thank you Lip Boon, Shu Yi, Ivan and those who are involved in it =D

Oh well, too bad i ended up having a mild diarrhoea at the end of the event. Haha. Don't know why but it's definitely not enjoyable ><" Didn't get to say good bye to most of my friends and especially June who's absoulutely beautiful last night =) What to do, you can't have everything. =p

//

Moving on to a less happy event, my handphone's "C" button, aka "Cancel button" is MISSING!!! omgomgomgomgomg... How now brown cow??? (Mooo......><") Moments before i left my house to go to the graduation night i realised that my "C" button has dropped off! And the worst part is, it dropped on the graden!!! How am i going to find it with all those grass there??? (T_T) I tried to look for it this morning but couldn't find any traces of it... I think the ants must have taken it to their nest as a dining table...or surgery table... My poor "C" button...

Sigh...

Now my phone has a small cavity left behind where the "C" button was supposed to be... Reminds me of losing a tooth...Just that plastic buttons don't grow back. =/

Oh well...i shall resort to pressing it with something else and typing "error-free messages" so i wouldn't need the cancel button...

Results~

Finally after the long, tormenting wait, they released the results for MUFY 2007 January Intake.

Nothing much to talk about. I managed to scrap a 50% scholarship i think... With a minimum of 375... ><" So close to missing the scholarship...

English: 80 ----------------- (-4)
Computer Science: 93 ------- (-1)
Math A: 95 ----------------- (-1)
Math B: 95 ----------------- (+6)
Physics: 84 ----------------- (+3)

The marks in the bracket are the differences with my internal marks. So... my english really sux...
Anyway, good luck to those who haven't checked their results, and do tell me if u have!

That's all for now! Have a very happy holiday everyone!

Passed undang!!! Yeay!!!

Yeay!!! Just came back from my undang test in Jalan Ipoh! Haha. I only sat for a 24 minute and 18 seconds test but waited for more than 3 hours at the "e-services" centre due to too many candidates.

At first, I went to the driving school in Damansara Utama and waited there for the driver to fetch us there. After about 1 hour of waiting (due to the driver having a terrible stomach ache), we departed from the driving school in a van of about 9-10 people to the exam place in Jalan Ipoh. After about 30 minutes or so, we arrived there and started waiting for our turn to do the test.

The environment there is OK, nothing much. Basically just a few rows of chair for people to sit and wait and a room to do the test. Photos are taken right beside the counter using a cheap looking camera (I suspect it's not even 1 megapixel). Haha. Anyway, we sat there, chit-chatting, revising, and also looking at people getting their photo taken and people getting their results printed. Nothing much. =p

At last! at about um...um...er... wad time ah? Forgotten. Haha. I went in and sat for the test using an ancient computer! My gosh! It's still running on Intel Celeron! The old type! Aiyoyo... It was really slow while loading the test. Oh well, watodo, all the money is used up for a national funded space tourist liao mah. Haha. So, the test was easy-peasy, nothing unexpected and it was very similar to what i did in the book that i bought.

And my score........ *drum rolls....* 47/50!!!!! Hahahahahahahhaha!
No need to clap, no need to clap. Lol.
Quite OK lerr, considering that about 80% of the people in the van failed, and my score being the highest among those who came in the same van. =p *kembang*

Well, conclusion is, I passed undang and the next step towards my P license is bengkel, which i can not take until my birthday... *deflates...* pffft! What a stupid rule! >=(

That's all for now! Stay tuned for more updates on my journey of getting a driving license! =D

Junnie on 8TV!!!

Though it's long time ago, but i still wanna upload it! Hehe.

Back!!!

Hey Hey hey!!! I'm back back back!!! hahHHAhahah. Feeling high and excited now that the internet connection is back! hahah!

Well, it's been kinda boring without the internet connection as i couldn't catch up with my friends and couldn't keep updated with what's going on in this infinite cyberspace. Haha.

So, the conclusion is that my DSL modem so happily spoiled when my holidays started. Thus, leaving me internet-less for almost 3 weeks! lol! Plus, my sister couldn't update her blog, which to her has already become a daily ritual. Hahha. However, all is well now as i've bought a RM99 Aztech DSL modem. It was worth it though. =p

So, it has been almost 2 weeks since i sat for the last paper for my final exams. I must say that i quite like college life... Not so hectic, greats friends, good environment, n stuff... Missing MUFY a lil. Haha. Can't wait to get my results! (To June: I know, i know...=p) Still have to work on the graduation night video, which Mr. Lee hasn't gave me or briefed me the story line and stuffs yet. Therefore, my holidays has thus been spent on TVs, books, computer games and a little bit of chores. Been playing alot of Need For Speed: Most Wanted lately, got up to the Blacklist No.5 now. Haha. Reading 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea now. Bought it from Kinokuniya KLCC the other day when i went with my sister. Saw alot of great classics that i would've loved to buy if i had the money and time to read it all. Well, nevermind, i'll get them next time! Haha!

Just went out with Ann June today. Hehe. Went to 1U to catch a movie and walk around. Ate at Burger King and got a free Koko Crunch!!! Yeay! Haha. Then watched "Hitman" in GSC. Kind of bloody and violent, story was not too bad, but a little too short, but it is who you watch with that makes the difference. Hehe. Then...went around shopping for random stuffs and a new modem for my home's computer. Hehe. Enjoyable day!! Really really happy to be able to spend some time with her and just have fun. =p

Well, that's about it for now. Haha. Glad that internet's back. And i can now get my hands/ eyes on more information in the worldwide web and gain some knowledge and of course, entertainment! Haha. Happy holidays everyone!

Temporary Hiatus

Dear all, as the final exams are coming very very soon (1st of November), there will be a short hiatus in my blog as i will TRY to tweak and tune every part of my anatomy in touch with the exams mood, unfortunately... haha.

Exams will be going on until the 15th of November, which is the last day for all subjects, which means that i will be among the few remaining students in MUFY that had to carry the exams spirits while many others have already started their celebration, partying, etc. (Double sigh...)

Nevertheless, i want to wish everyone in MUFY good luck and have fun studying and taking your exams! Oh, and take care of your health! Do NOT fall sick like Ivan aka Mr. Royaldishy.

P.S. Meanwhile, do check out this interesting site with funny comics! http://www.explosm.net/

P.P.S. Specially to my dear June, don't stress too much ah! 加油 studying and you can do it! =D

Of alcohol, water & tea

Should've went to play badminton today. (Pretty strange title and starting huh?)

Took a nap, woke up at 6.30pm and remembered that i'm suppose to go and play badminton with my dad at 7pm. Went to his study and saw him resting, not feeling well. Canceled the booking and went downstairs for dinner.

Alcohol. Excessive consuming of alcohol leads to drunkenness. It is not up to me to judge the justification and reasoning for anyone's drinking. However, the fact that too much alcohol consumed, have undeniable debilitating effects on the body and mind. "Impairs judgement", says Wikipedia. The issue that i'm more concerned of is: Why drink so much. It is not unprecedented neither it is frequent. Makes people worry and concerned and fill their minds with anxious-ness of such intensity that makes one want to cry out loud "Why??"

Tea. Green tea. Warm. Such calming effects it has on one's body and mind. The refined taste warming the taste buds, then caressing the throat as it went down the chasm. I made one thermos full of it hoping to be able to help the recovery but it was not necessary. One thermos full offered and so it returned, a thermos full. Hope the mere presence of it helps though. Nevermind, drank it anyway. Taste good! =D

Water! On a lighter note, water is the essential component of life...bla bla bla... Elementary Science 101... Haha! I realised that i drank more water when i'm bored! Not bad huh? Or when i'm playing computer or studying (I think this ranks under boredom too, haha!). More than 70% of the human body is made up of water! Yay! So we won't die of thirst when we are travelling with someone else! Haha! Just joking =p. One more thing! Water is also important when YOU are having diarrhoea (Pronounced: Die-hor-eea. Still remember this, Qin? Haha!). It replenishes water in your body. Get well soon and drink more water oo June!

End of Trials ^^V // Racial Discrimination?

Yay!! Finally the end of trials! However, a more disturbing future looms ahead as the Finals approaches slowly but steadily...until it finally engulf us with the familiar moodiness and the panic feeling which occurs whenever there's an exam. Oh well, better enjoy the rest now =D.

Looking back at my trials week, i was kind of suprised at my odd confidence and lack of panic-ness. Haha. I don't really know how to place this but i felt that there's less to study in MUFY compared to secondary school. Aren't they suppose to prepare us for university? Haha. Maybe i'm easily contented. I don't know? However, i shall not make it sound like i'm bragging 'cause i really DID study occasionally when i feel the need to. Oh! One good thing about Pre-U is that they have topic tests! I like it 'cause it makes you study for it and really know the topic. Haha. Yeap! That's about it!

------------Next Topic------------

Now, moving on to my next topic! Haha! A more serious issue that has been around since dunno when...

Racial discrimination! Okay, lets break this down and focus solely on the issue of the African people in Malaysia instead of Chinese being systematically discriminated in Malaysia ok? I don't want to get caught by the ISA. Haha. So...

Well, recently, the community hyped up the issue about the Africans residing in our country, which the story had been fueled by the papers and the recent crimes in our country. The question is, are they really a threat to the community's security and safety or are we only generalizing just because there is some of them being involved in some petty crime or maybe some more serious crime (I don't know).

However, in my opinion, i feel that most of the people's view on the "black" people are skewed by the image of the black people potrayed in medias. On top of that, i feel that people are afraid of what they don't understand and what they don't know, which i think is quite true. Therefore, that leads to the misunderstandings and the fear of the Africans experienced by the locals.

Seriously, we are over generalizing. Most of the Africans i knew in college are OK and nice. Definitely not criminals type or those who creates havoc in a community. Some of them are even better and more helpful than the locals i knew. They are just the same as us, only with different skin colours, beliefs and culture. It all boils down to their upbringing again.

So, lets all get to know the real person underneath the skin before we make a judgement on them ok? Some are here only to make an honest living and we shall welcome them with our warm and famed hospitality, shouldn't we?

Thank you!

I've been devoided interesting blog topics recently and that resulted in the lack of posts in my blog. Many apologies to those loyal visitors (if there's any) who tirelessly checked my blog for updates. The lack of interesting events recently have caused this "posts shortage" in my blog. Well, since i have abit of spare time here, i managed to squeeze a topic out of myself (clap clap clap!) and post it here.

Not too long ago, my family's new maid arrived fresh off the plane, from the agency. It was kind of a relieve as we no longer need to wash our own clothes, mop our own floors. However, being all new and inexperienced, the maid was initially a real let down whn we found out that she's nearly completely "kicthen-illiterate". Thus, it has been a havoc week for my mum when the maid first came.

And therefore, i am posting this entry to THANK my mum, for putting in extra effort in guiding the maid to do the chores and making the home a better place to live in.

Besides that, i believe that i can say in behalf of them (Qin & Jie) that we are really grateful that our mum sort of "trained" us in the kitchen either directly or indirectly. I am proud to say that at least we still know how to cook a simple meal and that is all thanks our mum. Though my own cooking might not be tasty, at least i won't starve myself. Seeing the maid being blur in the kitchen really makes me re-think how fortunate i am to actually know more than her in these stuff. Thus, i have to thank my mum again for giving me pointers when i occasionally step into the kitchen to see my mum cook.

The feeling of being able to tell people confidently that you can at least cook a simple meal for yourself or being able to do certain chores independently really makes a person proud of his/her family upbringing. I think it really reflects a person's family brought up up to a certain extent. We can see whether a person is capable of independency through his/her character and his knowledge about living skills. It all boils down to parents' teaching and guidance or also their own initiative to learn. Thus, i agree with those who thinks that family upbringing is really important for a person's "survivalbility" and sustanence.

Therefore, i would like to urge those who have absolutely no idea about living skills to go and learn them. Because you definitely will NEED it later in your life and by the time, it may be a little too late to learn. Be it cooking, cleaning or basic repair works, it will come in handy next time.

To mum: We really appreciate your hardwork and we really really really, from the bottom of our hearts THANK you for all the things you have done for the family. I hope that you can forgive our occasional clumsiness or "blur-ness" because we are humans after all, and do let us know how we can improve and be a better help. =)

Congratulations!

It's been a while since i posted an entry for my blog. It seems that i cannot find anything interesting or worthy to post about because everyday seems to be so ordinary. Therefore, something would be highly "honourable" or "significant" to be mentioned in my blog (wakakaka...).

Firstly, congratulations to my sister Chu Jie for winning 2007 Melbourne University Annual Badminton Championship, Group C - Women's Singles category and Runners Up for Group C - Women's Doubles category!!! (Clap clap clap clap!) haha.

Please note that there are different groups to compete in, similar to golfer's handicap. Ranging from Group A to Group D, my sister took part in Group C! My my my... why the lack of confidence? Haha.

Nevertheless, we are all very proud of the achievement that has brought "glory" to our family names. Haha! *Beams at Chu Jie* Not to mention that i use to be beaten by my sister in badminton a long long long long (very long) ago. Haha! Situations changed quite a while ago when i started to grow and went for trainings. Then i can consistently win my sister ever since (though once in a while my sister won by sheer luck and me "letting water"-ing) haha.

Well, that's all about my sister's glorious victory in Melbourne! For more information, please log on to http://chujiephua.blogspot.com to check out some pictures of her trophy, which looked alot like a mouse. Haha! Chaos for nows!

P.S. Jie, I can't wait to play badminton with you again! Wakakkaa! Have a nice ice-cream and movie! =D

1st Post- [Reason]

I remember i have once said that blogging is such a waste of time.
.
A rather biased comment made by me a few years back because my sister--Chu Jie is hogging over the computer to blog about what seemed to me as unimportant ramblings and unnecessary emo-ing.
.
However, as time pass, humans are bound to change and it is obvious that i have too. It seemed to me that there is so many things to write down about, so many happenings that should not be unfairly forgotten by the poor minds of human (Abit dramatic here...). Some bloggers may blog to showcase their products, to attract people of a certain interest or to just have a plain online web-log. But to sum up almost all the blogger's reason to blog is-- They want to be heard.
.
The feeling of being heard and being given attention is a rather good feeling to many. It made them felt important and respected of their views. This is almost a nature of all humans i think. Well, some may argue with me that it is not. But i can say that IF you look down deep into your heart or mind (whichever you believe does the reasoning), you will find the ultimate reason that you blog, is to be heard.
.
My sister Chu Qin started a blog a few months back where initially, she constantly checked her blog to see if anyone has replied to her post. Well, i suggested a term "blogaddict" to best describe her case (no offense! =p). "Blogaddict", in my opinion, can be defined as a person who have the uncontrollable urge to blog about something even though it may be minuscle or unimportant, and constantly check if anyone replied to her posts or commented on her page.
.
I shall admit that i have a high probability of turning into a blogaddict since i already am starting to "amplify" such tiny things like why people blog...But what to do? I hope i'll get over the initial hype of blogging and start to learn how to make a nice template for my blog and my sister's blog too.
.
P.S. Just cooked my lunch! Gonna go eat now! =D
