27 April 2009

Woke up at 7.30am, preparing myself for 8.00am Organic Chemistry lecture at block 21. Never get to understand Piven's lecture as usual, so I studied by myself at the back of the class. After that, having Physical Chemistry lecture at block 2. Having brunch at pocket D, eating "Nasi Ayam" with Yi Herng. Fazlee was there too. Yi Herng left after finishing his meal. Fazlee and I went to D9 to play carrom. It was about 11.30am. We moved to block 1 to do some printing for his Academic Writing assignment. On the way there, saw Michael walking by and he wished me Happy Birthday. Around 12 noon, Fazlee went to his class and I went to IRC.

The initial plan of going to IRC was to study, actually. Ended up online since the internet connection there was damn good and fast, too. Well, that is the main point anyway. Facebook, Friendster, Yahoo, Gtalk, blog-surfing... and found these two posts: post 1 & post 2. Thanks for the post. It may be brief but it means a lot. Then, chatting with Chua through Gtalk. It took quite sometime before Fazlee coming after back from his class. Organic Chemistry textbook, remained opened yet untouched. Then, here Laura joined the occasion and expressed her concern over her DE interview before that.

At 4.00pm, three of us proceeded to Pocket D. There, Fazlee treated me waffle chocolate flavor.
Munching the waffle in front of MESRA shoppe, all other friends were coming since we have Moral class at 5. Then, Serena came and approached me and wished me "Happy Birthday". Going to D5, before taking my seat, Xiao Ci, Sze Mei and Stephanie wished me the same, too. Then, Xiao Ci gave me two pieces of chocolate.

Class ended at 6. While the others going to USM to have their dinner, Tamil gave me this Pringles.

Went back to my dorm and did some arrangement for upcoming timetable (as if I will follow) since the examination unit has come out with the final draft of final exam timetable. Went for dinner at v2 at 9.30pm, and Jonathan accompanied me since he has meeting there. Done with my "kueh teow soup", I went back to hostel. On the way there, a good close friend of mine, Terry dropped me a call to wish me birthday and chit-chat for a while. Back to my room and I started to blog about how have I gone through my birthday.

Wait, there are still somemore actually. Yesterday, around 7.30pm, Molly and friends asked me to join them dinner. Turn out to be that they gave me this. A chocolate cake.

Special thanks to Molly, Siew Ching, Joycelyn and Hie Ping for the little surprise.

And, my roomie, Jonathan and his soulmate, Sze Mei get me chocolate. Yes, I do like chocolate, by the way.

Guess that's about all. No big celebration and I don't expect one. Just want to take this chance to those who have wished me birthday through SMS, call, Gtalk (chat & shoutout), blog posts Facebook, Friendster, Plurk, shoutmix chat (embedded in my blog), face-to-face a great thank. You have just made my day. You always have.

Before I forget, Facebook wishes me, too!

To end my post here, wish to dedicate the following song to all of you.

On Top of The World by Mandy Moore

For a time, I thought my faith, it must be hiding
Searching through the sky, hoping to find a way
A way, to get me through the day
Don't know where I belong, is this where I should stay

[Chorus:]
Lift me up, when I am falling
You're my friend, when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

There's a strength in me, it seems, I have forgotten
Now I, realized today, I'm starting to dream again
Again, was a matter of when
I guess we all lose our way, now and then

[Chorus:]
Lift me up, when I am falling
You're my friend, when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

You lift me up, when I was falling
You lift me up, when I was falling

[Chorus:]
Lift me up, when I am falling
You're my friend, when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
(Whole wide world)

Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

Always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world

Yea, yeah

Top of the whole wide world

Yeah, you've always been believing
Gave my life a whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world...

Officially 19

Oh well, guess I really have to accept that I am now 19, no more 18. Time really flies, another year has just gone again. This post is dedicated to myself, hope you don't mind if there is too much of "me".

2007 (form 5) - I miss wearing school uniform

First semester in UTP (Jan 08)

Second semester (July 08)

December 2008

February 2009

April 2009

Any changes? My classmate says that I didn't change much since high school. Guess that is true. All the pictures just look the same. It is just that pimples getting more and more. (sigh)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MYSELF!
No particular wishes. I am grateful of things that I have now.
Hope things will get better and I shall learn to live every moment,
and stay stronger, be happier.

=)

Last Day of 18

Have campus run this morning. Running around UTP campus. V6 - Chancellor Hall - behind of new academic complex - V5 - V4 - V2 - V1 - V6. Managed to complete in 26 minutes time. Not bad for a guy like me, eh? A nerdy guy, am I not? For males, top there spots are taken by international students. They are damn good runner, I must say. The champion is from Chemical Engineering department, the department that I represent. As for female, Xiao Ci, my batchmate from Technology department grabs the top spot. Congratulation!

Few hours to go, 18-year-old me will come to an end. Wish the time could pass by a bit slow because somehow I am not ready yet.

Anyway, happy birthday to Michael. ;)

Irony

It is kind of irony that you don't like someone yet you can still be around with him or her.
It is kind of irony that you would like to keep a distance from someone yet you still allow him or her to approach you.
It is kind of irony that you dislike someone but the feeling does not progress into hate.

Despite of all the things that of what he or she has said that have hurt you.
Despite of all the things that of what he or she has done that betrayed you so badly, makes you cry in the bed.
And, he or she is doing the same thing, again and again.
Again and again, you are being hurt.

All the pain. All the sorrow. All the tears.
You just let them come into you.
But, you just couldn't hate him or her.
I just couldn't.

There is something in me that tells me that I don't have to.
There is someone that I know hinting me that I don't need to.

Learn not to care much.
Care too much is the real reason that makes you suffer.
The world may turn back on you with these people exist in your life;
You still have someone to turn to.
To make you feel good.
To make you feel great.
To make you feel contented.
Their presence will always enhance warm felt in your heart.
No matter where, no matter when, no matter what.
Even when they are not beside you.
A true friend, in deed.
What I believe, truly.

Just glad that I found them.

*Will be having campus run this morning. Surely lose but hopefully I will enjoy it.
**You always turn up without my expectation. It has made my day. It always has.

When no one was there for me
And I thought that no one cared
When the whole world walked out on me
And I thought I was alone
You were there

When the one I cared about the most
Could care less about me
When the one I gave my heart to
Threw it in my face
You were there

When all I needed was a friend
To listen to me whine
When all I needed was someone
To catch my tears
You were there

When my heart hurt so bad
I couldn't even breath
When I just wanted to crawl up and die
You were there...

=)

Slow Dance

Have you ever watched kids 0n a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly?
When you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?
When the day is done, do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores running through your head?

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste, not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch, let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time to call and say,'Hi'.

You'd better slow down.
Don't dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower.
Hear the music,
Before the song is over.

A forwarded email. A poem written by a terminally ill girl in New York hospital.

Free

Well, well, well. It has been a while I didn't write here and some people keep on asking for not updating this blog for quite sometimes. As you can see from previous post, I have been busy with stuff. Eventually, this week come to an end. I could really take a break for a while and enjoy my weekend.

On duty last Wednesday as an adjudication PR officer, my first hand experience in holding such post, in a quite big event like Engineering Design Exhibition (EDX) 23. Although it is just a small post, the task is not real easy one as I have to deal with judges since I have to usher them from booth to booth in order to do the evaluation on participants' project. The key in my task is communication skill since I am interacting with lecturers and officer from outside (external judges). Any mistakes could have ruined everything, no room for being careless. Somemore, each judge come to the spot at their own time. My job is to make sure that they stick together to do the judging. Glad that everything went well. Just to assess 10 booths has been tiring enough for me. Anyway, it has been hectic day but I did enjoy my duty actually. Somehow it proves that I am capable in doing some other things, I suppose. Hope have the chance to be part of it again in the near future.

Having Physical Chemistry test on the same day, at night. Hard? Not really. But, damn the lecturer gave the wrong formula in the appendix, causes me to make a mistake in which I could have done it right. Hate this.

Tennis test on Thursday night. Thankfully, I pass, for now as there will be another round next week. Regret taking this course, merely due to conformity because I am really sucks at it. I have no passion. Guess I have to be more firm with my own decision next time. Will hate myself more if this course screws up my result, GPA particularly.

Right after that, I rushed back to prepare for Book Fair committee interview. I applied for Ceremony and Protocol. Out of 12 candidates, they only need two. God, wondering if I would get selected. I suppose to receive my message (if I get selected) by midnight but I didn't receive any. Lose hope of waiting? Kind of and with all those negative thoughts in my mind. Nevertheless, I told myself that if I don't get it this time, there is still tomorrow, there is still another chance. Somehow, I got it. Glad? Relief? Indescribable, actually.

Most important thing is, FINAL EXAM TIMETABLE is finally released. My paper will start on 13 May and ends on 19 May. And, best part of all is that I will be home on 20 May. Can't wait to go home after leaving it since the beginning of this semester. Miss everything over there! All old friends (especially those from Matriculation) are now back. It's about time to see them all, after so long.

Guess that's all I have gone through my week. Needless to be long-winded.

ONE WEEK OF LECTURE; ONE WEEK OF STUDY WEEK; ONE WEEK OF FINAL EXAM.
I'm done for this semester!

Time flies, guys.

End of 3-day Holidays

I have done nothing on Saturday, other than sleeping and eating. Seriously. Woke up early at 9 just to do my laundry. And then, watching HEROES series, I would say, the whole day. Hardly touched my books. Well, I didn't touch them at all. But, it has been a long time I didn't have such a day, without books. Feel so, free? Nevertheless, the feeling of guilt is there for lazy-ing around. Feel so sorry, erm, to myself.

It has been 2 months that I didn't go to Ipoh town, I mean, Ipoh city. So, I acompanied my friend, Fazlee to go there on the next day. Guess this was the first time I went to the city in the early morning, as we reached Ipoh Parade at 9.30am where all the shops were not opened yet. While waiting, we have a sip of drink at Starbucks there. After buying some stuff, we planned to play bowling at Ampang Superbowl there. Unfortunately, the lanes were fully booked and so, we proceeded to Jusco right after that (can say, just for the sake of playing bowling). Having lunch at Pizza Hut, playing games at don't-know-the-name-game-station-next-to-cinema, bowling again, having dessert at Secret Recipe, and then we left. Spent only RM70 for the day.

This morning, woke up at 12.00pm. Well, I think it should be afternoon already when I woke up. Guess I was too tired. Study for upcoming test and having campus run training in the late evening. Having dinner at v5 and now I am here, sleepy, watching Misha Omar singing Bunga-bunga Cinta, blogging. Oh well, my holidays were simply, that. Will back to sleep right after this.

2 weeks of lectures on the countdown with these things to be done:
1. Engineering Design Exhibition PR Duty
2. Physical Chemistry Test 2
3. Moral Assignment 2
4. Tennis Practical Test
5. Sport Carnival (campus run)
6. Academic Writing Research Report
7. Organic Chemistry Test 2 (unconfirmed)
8. Oil & Gas Test (unconfirmed)
9. --------

Till then.

*I am being okay, for the whole day. I am just thinking, something. Some stuff. ;)

Time & Understanding

I am not sure why. I am not sure how. I am not sure what. I am not sure when. But, I am sure who.

Thing changes with passing of time. The time won't need to be long. It can take months or may be weeks. Days? It can be possible. There is always uncertainty exist in everything. These few days, I have noticed something. May be not days, guess it has been weeks. Notice something there is a bit of difference. As the first line portrays, something has changed. Not everyone around me, it is just something in me, that is unexplainable.

Sometimes feel that the closer that you get to someone, easier to get hurt. Perhaps closer in terms that we spend much time together, yet still don't understand you. They may do it intentionally or otherwise, the wound is already made. It heals but leaves scars behind. Think of it in the later time, just remind how hurt it has been. Yet, we just allow to repeat because we dare not to speak up. We are scared. Okay, I am scared.

The one who is distant from you, may spend less time together, they will never hurt you. Seriously, this is so true. You feel great when you get to be along with them. Every second means a lot, counts a lot. To me, it is more meaningful to spend too much time with someone. You are not hurt because they understand.

How irony it may sound but it has been proven true, for my case.
1. More time spent together, less understanding about you, easier to be hurt.
2. Less time, more understanding, NEVER be hurt.

So, I choose the second one because it makes me feel great about myself. At least these friends make me feel so. How I wish they know that they are true great friends.
I can deal with first one though, but there is limit for it.

Enough said.

*Close friends are dependant on how well you know each other, not the time that you get to spend. These close friends, turn out to be special ones. Somehow, you will never know or realise.

=)

Random Thought

Was watching Stuart Little this evening. The movie has been released for almost ten years and it has been a long while I didn't watch it. But, the storyline somehow is still clear in my mind. It brings a lot of memories and sweet nostalgia. The movie is all about care. Care for a friend, care for your family. The little Stuart, eventhough he is a mouse and being adopted into a human family, he has always tried to fit in, care for his family. Trying to treat the cat pet as a friend instead of his pet. It has been a hard time but he holds on. Eventually, he gets what he wants.

Life is hard. Well, no one says it is easy to get through the day. Sometimes I feel that reality is mean. World is cruel. Some survives. Some don't. Some choose to hold on. Some choose to give up. We complaint. We whine. There will be never "ENOUGH". Just say, things sometimes don't follow the way we want it to be. It is just how it works.

You may not get the things that you want.
But, being IGNORANT of things that you already have, which are just around you, will make you lose of great things.
These things are there for you, to treasure, to appreciate, to cherish.
But, sadly, we never notice.
Our WANTS has blinded of what we have.
Sense of gratitude is not there.
We chase for something that does not guarantee in return, not to mention whether you will get it in the end.
And, we neglect things that we have already in hands, which could have meant world to you.

We only treasure things when we lost it. Good for you if there is a second chance. But, not everything can be given second chance.

Random thought.

*Final exam in 3 weeks time!

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY, LIANG YI!Click here to access to her blog

=)

Classmate since primary and secondary school. Now, my coursemate in UTP. Wondering will be my working colleague too? hmm...

Anyway,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
HON!

=)

Appreciation from Facebook

I love Facebook. ;)

=)

Thanks for your time

'Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away,'

THINK ABOUT THIS

1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

5. You mean the world to someone.

6. If not for you, someone may not be
living.

7. You are special and unique.

8. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you trust God to do what's best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better.

9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it.

10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

11. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

13 . Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you'll both be happy .

14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

[A forwarded email]

Anyway, I have always been thankful for all the times that I get to spend with you. ^_^

Tired

I am tired now, really tired. Mentally, physically. Emotionally? This time, no. Glad. Next week will be a damn busy week for me. Hope I will get it through.

Will upload the videos for my visit to Children Home soon. Stay tune.
Till then.

Happy Easter

GIVE THANKS
WITH A GRATEFUL HEART
GIVE THANKS
TO THE HOLY ONE
GIVE THANKS
FOR HE'S GIVEN
JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON

AND NOW LET THE WEAK SAY
I AM STRONG
LET THE POOR SAY
I AM RICH
BECAUSE OF WHAT
THE LORD HAS DONE
FOR US
GIVE THANKS...

The Son of God. . . worked with human hands; he thought with a human mind. He acted with a human will, and with a human heart he loved. Born of the Virgin Mary, he has truly been made one of us, like to us in all things except sin.

-- Gaudium et spes

HAPPY EASTER DAY!

Birthday Girls

Erize (in pink shirt)My batchmate in UTP, who is doing Mechanical Engineering, comes from Sarikei.

Victoria (on the left)

Classmate since primary school, until secondary school. After SPM, each follow own path. Still keep in touch until today. Didn't see her for more than year already. Guess only time will show when is our next encounter.

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY!

=)

Frustration

I was just done with my DE Test 2 around one hour ago. Made a stupid mistake, and again, failed to get full mark this time. The only subject that I can get perfect score, and I could not make it just because of ONE mistake. Really hate myself. Feel so down and frustrated. Think that I set the target too high. Guess that I was over confident. Oh well, will let it go soon enough.

Left with Physical Chemistry Test, Organic Chemistry Test, Oil & Gas Test, Organic Chemistry Quiz (why must he keep on postponing the quiz?). 3 weeks to go before study week. One month to go before final exam. After that, I can go back to home sweet home. How ironic though, wish the time could pass by a bit faster, at the same time, wish the time could pass by a bit slower because I am not ready for anything, yet.

Will be off for Moral Studies Social Work at Kuala Kangsar tomorrow, to an orphanage home. Hope it will fun, spending times with those children. Another moment to be cherished. Will blog about if I could. Till then...

*Have a blessed Good Friday. He died on the cross for you because He loves you, that much.

=)

Back to Work

Currently busy with work, again. Life here has been so extreme. When you are free, you will be like SO free. When you are packed with work, you could have drowned with all those and hardly can catch your breath. Due to all these menace, I could only fell into my sweet dream at 5 this morning and have to wake up at 7 for my 8am DE interview. Now, I am kind of tired yet must hold on as I have class at 12 later. Single-minded persistence.

Hope the lecturer won't postpone the quiz tomorrow.
Hope the DE test tomorrow will go on smoothly.

[Back to work]

Happy Birthday, Sterry

The forth son of the family. The naughtiest one. The noisiest one. Cried the most when he was an infant (and still is, very easily emotionally disturbed, sometimes). The one who argues with me the most. AND, most people claim that he is the most handsome among five of us (blerk!)

Anyway, his birthday is today.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, STERRY.
ALL THE BEST IN UPSR!

University Life

I was browsing through blogs and found this post from Justin’s. The original content is written in Chinese language and it is about the University life. I do agree with some of them but there are also some that do not fit with my own perspectives.

Here are some of the translations.
1. Two person always been together everyday not necessarily are friends, they may not be anything at all.
2. There is no point making argument with others because in the end, there will be no result out of it, regardless who is right or who is wrong.
3. Handphone only comes in handy when you need it, not to keep in touch.
4. Being sincere and considerate to someone not necessarily get anything in return. Those you ignore are actually the ones that really care about you, very much.
5. You may not be able to get most of the things that you want. Some you may can only have it once.
6. Love may not be sincere and true. It may be due to mutual benefits that both get. It can be due to peer pressure.
7. High school teachers are better and more responsible.
8. When you are experiencing the downside of your life, don’t ever ask for sympathy as others may look down on you.
9. There are things that don’t belong to you. Strike to get them only causes you to suffer.
10. The difference among one another can be so huge.
11. Money is used every time and everywhere.
12. Start to hold on those you can hold on, let go those you can’t. Don’t because of holding on someone and you lose all others.
13. Some people may not believe in feelings between people (relationship), but you must believe in yourself that it is possible that may be more than everything, even though it is just probably.
14. Some people that you know in the past have changed and you cannot recognize them, but the memories remain.
15. Care too much about others can only hurt self.
16. Sometimes we have to be alone when going for classes, having meal or doing revision.
17. Feels that own hometown is the best, regardless that you are poor or rich.

How true are these to some of you? Some say yes, some say no, some say no comment. Well, everyone has their own views on certain issues. So do I.

=)

True Friend

A TRUE FRIEND
© Ashley Montgomery

A true friend never walks away
A true will always stay
A true friend looks out for you

A true friend will guard your secrets
Like a precious gift
A true friend is there for you
To give you a helpful lift

A true friend tries to make you smile
Tries to replace that frown
They may not always succeed
But they rarely let you down

These arms for you are open
This heart for you does care
And when I think you need me
I'll try to always be there

I'll listen to your fears
I promise not to laugh
Comfort your falling tears
I'll make this friendship last

I'll keep you near to my heart
I'll always hold you dear
Even when we're miles apart
Even when you're here

I hope I am to you
Everything you are to me
For the friendship we have
Is a special one indeed.

Melodious Rendezvous

Tonight is the night. The night that we all have been waiting for. With all those sweats, with all those efforts, and with all those practices.

Boredness

Feel so free right now. All the work for this week is finally accomplished. Now in the room, alone. Don't know what should I do next. Just done watching Heroes series season 2 (yeah, I am outdated!). Facebooking will be endless and so is blogging. That is why I am doing right now. Crap, I sound so bored.

I have two tests next week but no mood to study yet. Also, this moment around is not a conducive time to do revision anyway. It will be in vain, seriously. Well, that is what my experience tells me. This may not be ideal from one person to another. Everyone has their own style of studying. Some people may choose to wake up at 6.30am to study but at that time, I choose to sleep.

Should have gone for sport but it was freaking raining outside, with some threatening thunder storms that could kill. It has been raining and raining everyday here, in the evening. For few consecutive weeks, my laundry seems to be never dried. Yet, I am holding on not to send them to the provided laundry service. I must be strict to myself and more self-disciplined. And also, promise myself to go to class early. Promise myself to do my work on time. Promise myself to implement what I have learnt through STE. Promise myself to be more positive and stay strong. :)

FRIENDSTER is dying if no one notices that. That is the way I see it because more and more people registered as FACEBOOK users now. I myself seldom login into FRIENDSTER. FRIENDSTER now is imitating FACEBOOK in terms of the news feed as you can see. But that does not make any difference at all, I mean, I still love FACEBOOK more, even though the slight change that they made to the layout. Oh well, I learn to accept and adapt. FACEBOOKING quite often lately and managed to find some old friends back that haven't met for 8 years. Thanks to technology! Thanks to Facebook. Thank to God to allow me to track old friends back in my life.

Oh my God! When I was half-way writing this, the rain gets wilder and I look out of my window, I could not see a thing except for the heavy downpour. Guess you can imagine how bad the rain is. The weather here is getting mad. Crazy.

*I have a new pet dog at home. I am not sure what is the name. I think it's Browny. So now I have two pet dogs. Good, this one never knows me. Wondering what will happen when I am back home? Can't wait.

**Random poem:

The rain may be falling hard outside
But your smile makes it all alright.
I'm so glad that you're my friend.
I know our friendship will never end.

That's all I can think of for now.

Eric turns 19

A guy from Island of Pearls, don't know which part of Penang though. "The Mr Nice Person". "lai ar, mamak" is his favourite quote. Always stalk people digitally since he is taking EE.

Since you are still around, dare not to write more.

Just wanna wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
ERIC MATTHEW CAPEL.

It's April

It is now April, first April. Does it remind you of anything? Yeah, it is "lame" April's Fool Day. Thankfully, I was not fooled by someone, well, not today at least. Everything just went on as usual. Yet, I was damn tired and still have to prepare for tomorrow quizZES. As you can see, from my book, I end up blogging here.

Just yesterday, PETRONAS F1 team (I think, I am not really sure) has an exhibition in my Uni. They have some sort like race car demonstration as well, around the campus. I have no opportunity to watch the event though since I was stuck with my work. Manage to take a photo of the race car below.


That's all.

It was 7th Dean's List Award and Foundation Graduation Certificate Ceremony today, 2pm, at Chancellor Hall. With feeling of gratitude, I am thankful that I get to graduate my Foundation studies with Dean's List, my second Dean's List Award. I am now officially graduated from Foundation and a freshman in undergraduate studies now. For the upcoming semesters, I hope that I am able to achieve my goals.



Just an update for you all, Foundation Department is now known as Fundamental and Applied Sciences Department. Starting May 2009, trimester system is being launched (for Foundation only). Within period of one year, there will be like 3 semesters of studies which still cover the same courses. Some say this is to cut down the holidays. Who knows?

Another thing, I was awarded by Grace for "I Love Your Blog". Thanks, Grace for nominating. Didn't know that you love my blog so much. Haha...I will nominate my choices of blogs for the awards next time. Have to go now. Till then. =)
