Vanity corner: Happy June~

Hello! Ohaiyogozaimasu!

Welcome to vanity corner where you'll get to see more of me.

In another 2 more days, I will be welcoming July with wide open arms and shout out loud:

"July is going to be a good month! I'm going to enjoy this month!"

June wasn't exactly a happy month. It taught me that odd things does happen and nothing comes easy. Change is inevitable. Decisions, forever a dilemma.

June wasn't exactly a sad month either. It showed me how little I saw before when I thought I've seen everything. It opened doors that I've never realized exists.

Many people asked me this:

"Do you think you've made the right decision?"

"Yes."

"How sure are you?"

"My heart told me so."

 If I were given a second chance to think and rethink, I'll still make the same decision. I'm not sure if it's the right decision or if I'll shout I regret! in the future but.....

Hey, who are we to know what is the right decision?

Regret? I'm sure I wouldn't in the future.

So, to everyone who dropped by this page,

thanks for reading and have a good month ahead!

=)

Cheers,

Back to blogging

It has been a long, long time since my last blog update and I can barely remember when was the last interesting post that I wrote. Oh wait, was there any interesting ones? Never mind. This is my blog anyway so who cares?

Holiday came and went by just like that and all I did was just one post throughout the holiday. It's not like I was really busy. I was actually just busy doing NOTHING. I actually tried to update my blog but somehow they all just ended up as drafts instead. There's no idea or motivation whatsoever for me to continue writing those posts so they all ended up rotting in my draft box. Let's just say I'm lazy as hell. Yeah....that's the best excuse I can give. Or maybe I've found a better hobby than blogging that is knitting. I'm turning into a granny! Ok let's not talk about that.

I'm surprised that despite the lack of updates, there are still some returning visits(yes I track you people). Maybe they are just visits from people I know but still, I want to thank them and let them know that I greatly appreciate their support. Thankiu! Thankiu! Thankiu! hahaha! You guys must be disappointed at each visit to my blog. Don't worry! I'm back now, all fresh and lively once again!

(Actually I'm lying about being lively. Who knows I'll feel so worn out starting from the second week of trimester onwards?)

I can't guarantee that my blog will be as active as before but...............but.....................ok I'll try my best to update whenever I can, ok? lol

My new trimester's schedule is driving me crazy, I doubt I can update my blog twice a week like I did before. I think once a week should be sufficient enough. Sometimes I wonder how some people can update their blogs DAILY. I don't mean niche blogs but personal blogs. What do they write about? Don't they have other things to take care of, such as studies, assignments, exams, work, etc? Is their everyday that happening? Unless they're full-time bloggers then I have nothing to say. Or maybe they treat their blog as a diary.

And then, there are people who gain popularity and earn bucks from blogging. How legit is this?

Here are some famous bloggers who do just that:
(Actually there are many but I'll just list some. You know, I'm lazy. Zzz.......haha!)


Xiaxue: Ok everyone knows who she is(at least for bloggers). She's a singaporean blogger. A friend of mine introduced her blog to me a long time ago but I rarely read it. It's lengthy with lots of rants and raves but entertaining enough. Avid blog readers will enjoy reading it.

Kenny Sia: One of my favorite malaysian blogger.  Hilarious and entertaining.

Chuckei: Was browsing a forum out of boredom and the people were talking about chuckei so this is how I came to know about this blogger. Her name is Jane Lau. Her blog is just ordinary, nothing interesting. Perhaps famous as a beautiful blogger?

QiuQiu: Her name is Bong Qiu Ting I think. She's a friend of Xiaxue so apparently she's a famous blogger too. Anyway, I love visiting her blog, I don't know why.


Somehow, these bloggers did have something about themselves or their blogs and some special formula that make it possible for them to be famous.

Anyway, if by chance, you're a loyal blog reader of mine, *ahem* you would have noticed something extra on the right column of my blog beneath the blog translator. Yes. Adsense is back again after being advertorial-free for 4 months! =D

And you would also notice that the chatbox has disappeared. The reason why I removed it was because of the loads of spam messages. LOOK!

What the hell is with this stupid chatbox? What Lady Gaga? What Britney Spears? What Miley Cyrus blablablabla Spice Girls? wth? You all can go RIP!

So in the end I just get rid of it because I cannot stand it anymore. My blog doesn't need a chatbox anyway. NO PEOPLE TO CHAT WITH ME! *sob*

Anyway, just want to say I'm back to blogging and thanks for reading!

So, July is here....

Dear i-diary,

Life has been pretty much the same lately. Boring lectures, meeting random people, here and there, completing tutorials and, of course, assignments. *yawnage*

Midterms are around the corner and assignment deadlines aren't far either. That means I will not be able to update my blog that often anymore but I'll try my best to update whenever I can and make them worth reading. Yeah....try. my. best. lol~

Anyway, I've just set up a new blog and am working on it but it is scheduled to launch only at the end of December or maybe next year. Yeah....that'll be my second blog apart from this. I'm so excited!

This blog has been buried here for such a long time that I'm worried it might not even have the chance to see the light anymore. Haha...I'm exaggerating. This blog is getting a silver lining already. I hope it'll get to see the bright shining sun soon.

Not much to write about today. I'm still working on the Lone Wolf book review. It has been in my draft box for toooooo long. Hopefully I can post that review by the end of this week.

That's all I guess. 

Bye~

My MUET

It was my first time with MUET (and I hope it's the last). What I thought was like the 1119 english paper but it was more than that. MUET is a combination of reading, writing, listening and speaking whereas 1119 is just reading and writing. Oh no, MUET has speaking! My worst fear!

I just logged on Facebook and saw someone posted this:

Answers for March 2012 MUET reading test

Initially, I just wanted to check on the answers for the first 10 questions but ended up checking all of it. That was when I left a big *SIGH*.

If had made better preparations for it (as if I even cared to prepare). If I could just read a little faster. If I had the time and chance to revised my answers before I handed them up. If only, if only.....

My problem is I read too slow and did have enough time to finished that paper. I was left with 3 questions when the examiner announced:" Time's up!". So frantically, I just simply filled in the answers. And I made quite some mistakes especially at the last 2 passages. Due to the lack of time, I just skimmed through the paragraphs and filled the answers without understanding the passages thoroughly.

But reading isn't what I concerned the most. What worries me is the writing and listening. (As for speaking, I gave up worrying about it as I know I did badly. LOL!)

Due to NO preparations at all, I was literally empty minded when I looked at the essay title. I squeezed on my brain juices, hoping I can come up with some ideas but realized there's not much juices left for me to squeeze on. So there, I crapped here and there, hoping what I wrote is useful. After all, I did produced what I though was an essay, right? In the end when it's time for me to hand up my 'creation', I hastily counted the total amount of words and "OMG! Is it just 300++ words? I need another 50!! Hallelujah!" And the ideas I wrote were just barely a scratch on the surface. =_=

As for listening, well.....I don't really know what the expected answers should be. I mean how should I present my answers? I have no idea. All I knew was I had to write down what I thought was the right answer.

Lalalala~ enough with the MUET rants already. It's already over after all. (Phew....thank god!) All I have to do now is to wait for the results to be out. I really hope I can achieve at least a band 4 for MUET or else I'll start to question myself how on earth I can get A1 for 1119 in SPM 3 years ago.

*****

Wonder how I spent that RM200 book voucher and what I bought from Etude house?
I will reveal it soon on my next post. ^^

Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

=)

Peer pressure

What is peer pressure? I'm sure you all know.

Peer pressure is the pressure exerted by your peer group that can influence you and affect your future.

"近朱者赤, 近墨者黑"

It is a chinese idiom meaning: One takes the behaviour of one's company.

That is why friends are so important to us. Their pressure are so powerful that they can influence and affect you in many ways, sometimes without you realizing it. Don't be surprise when an old friend that you've not met for a couple of years says you changed a lot.

People change. Everyone change as they grow old. Peer pressure is just a small contribution to the change. There are many other factors such as environment, experience and their own willingness to change.

I've been suffering from (indirect)peer pressure lately and I'm quite surprised at it.

My current peer pressure:

1.) They're smart. I want to be.

2.) They're tall. I want to be.

3.) They're beautiful. I want to be.

4.) They have nice clothes. I want.

5.) They have so much fun. I want.

6.) They have boyfriends. I want.

7.) They changed. I want too.

Some kind of pressure I have here. LOL!

My final results?

Finally, my results were out. Eh, I shouldn't use the word 'finally' as I didn't really anticipate my results and I didn't expect it to be released so quickly.

Nervously, I took a deep breath and clicked the enter button. Results were as I'd expected. All except one. English.

There, it's stated:

General English - B+

WTH!!! I expected at least an A- !!!

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

But after thinking deeply, I realised I shouldn't have expect an A as I didn't even care to put much effort in that subject. Just an hour of revision before final exam and that's all. LOL!

Ah...whatever. I got GPA 3.6 but I'm not quite satisfied with it. I bet I'll be classified as average or below when am compared to others in my class.

Oh well, whatever. I'm pleased to be an average person.

Time for another new chapter. Semester 2 will be starting from tomorrow onwards.

Exam period

I've been busy bonding with accounting notes for the past few days.

Yes. Just accounting although I have a total of 5 subjects for finals.

I admit that I didn't work hard for group dynamics, english and maths. I didn't even care to do my best preparation for it so if ever I get bad results, I guess I'm prepared for it already.

As for accounting, I can't forgive myself for screwing up my final exam paper when I have prepared myself for days for it. Hzzz.........

Accounting, it's a subject that I'm still confused with. It seems easy yet confusing. However, I don't hate accounting. Instead, I'm starting to like it. The imbalanced accounts makes it challenging for me to balance them but I'm always ready for the challenge. The satisfaction that I feel whenever I successfully balance an account is rewarding. I guess this satisfaction is what makes me like accounting.

I've finally understand why the most popular phrase that comes out from other people's mouth when they talk about accounting is 'debit.... credit.... debit.... credit.....'. Because it is all just about debit and credit. As simple as that yet confusing at times. *sigh* Super annoying!

Ahhh!!! Forget about it. A few more days left until the last paper, economics, and I'll be chilling at home for 2 weeks after that. Woohoo!!

This is a song that I've recently got caught up with.

Here is another ultimate emo song by Lee So Ra, covered by Taeyeon!

I love her cover version than the original version probably because I like her soothing voice. I think she sings well though some people commented about not being emotional enough. My opinion though.

Check out the original version.

Lee So Ra is the woman who sang at the beginning and Park Hyo Shin is the guy that completes the other half of the song. This song is a solo but it appears to be a duet in this video.

LOL! You can literally hear the girls scream the moment Park Hyo Shin starts to sing.

So which version do you prefer?

Annoying assignments

Quizzes! Assignments!! Please go away!! Far, far away! Shhooo~~!!!

Ish.....T^T It's piling higher and higher already.

Someone just told me that there are economics assignment and quiz starting from today till next week. @_@

That means....

1.) group dynamics assignment

2.) accounting assignment (the hardest of all and I've no idea how to do it...@_@)

3.) accounting quiz

4.) maths assignment

5.) economics assignment

6.) economics quiz

7.) English summary quiz (phew....just done this today)

@_@~~~ A total of both quizzes and assignments. ROARRR!!!!

Restless days

I was reading through my Facebook news feeds and came across this.

TIP TO REDUCE WEIGHT: Turn your head to the left and then turn to the right. Repeat exercise when offered something to eat...

6 hours ago · ·

• You, Sim Yee, Wooi Yi Min, Yu Chen Lim and 23 others like this.

Hahaha! Amazing tip!! I'm gonna tell this to my dad. Best exercise ever. LOL!

***************

I'm super tired today as well as yesterday due to my habit of sleeping late at night. Me and my sisters stayed up late last Saturday, did some facebook stalking(O_O), chat and laughed till the wee hours of the morning. Sisters' bonding time. Hahaha! Thus I ended up with large dark eye circles for the whole day. =_= Like a walking panda.

Oh, oh......no wonder I felt as if I'm dreaming again during economics class. At least I kept convincing myself that I'm still dreaming.(self brainwashing) LOL!

*sigh* Again, I'm gonna rant on assignments and quizzes. Just as I thought the hectic period is over, assignments came flooding in again. English writing quiz this Thursday, Group Dynamics writing assignment to be due next week, maths assignment, accounting assignment and what more? economics assignment(coming soon....I'm sure). ARghh!!!!!!! #$%!#!$#!!

The question I got for group dynamics is "Were anyone's idea ignored? Criticized? Were yours?" and am expected to write a full page long assignment for it. Huh? Huh? Huh??!! What am I suppose to write? I don't knnnnoooowwwww~~~~~ boohoo~~~S.O.S!! Or rather S.M.S(save my soul)!!!

This song is really nice! It's from Glee cast. The main reason that made me watch Glee is because the songs they sing are really nice. I love the singing part the most!

Anyeong! Just came back from mathematics exam today. Guess what? I felt devastated after that. :(

Before exam:

Gosh! Why are all these people doing maths practice while eating lunch or during english and accounting class? Exam starts at 8pm dudes and it's just a mid-term exam. Gosh! These people are crazy.....damn kiasu la!

After exam:

T^T~~~I regretted for not doing any practice at all. This is the first time I felt like giving up during maths exam. Why la~ I didn't expect the questions to be so complicated. Ended up I couldn't solve quite some questions and these questions carry quite a lot of marks. *sigh* (..........) Or is it that I've forgotten the feeling that I'll get after every maths exam? What hit me was many people started to left 15 minutes before time's up. How can they finished that fast??

Whatever it is, I glad that the exams are over. I should go get some chill pills. *ahem* you know what are my chill pills? *ahem* It's a secret. LOL! Fyi, it's not a pill and I can get it through facebook. Hahaha! Get it? Geddit? Music is one of my chill pills too. Anyway, I don't think you get what I'm trying to say. LOL! XD

Busy~ busy~

Ahh....it's time to pack my things again. I'm going back to my hostel(the cage) tomorrow where there isn't any internet connection. Actually there's connection but it's useless. Connected= not connected. So why bother to connect anyway? It will only raise my blood pressure.

Anyway, there's no time for Facebook or anything else as accounting and maths mid-term exam is coming soon....very soon. Wednesday is accounting and Thursday will be maths. I haven't studying anything for maths as I've faith in it. Last minute study should be enough(I really hope so~). What I'm concern about is accounting. @_@?? Accounting~~~@o@. I see stars~~ Hahaha! I'm really afraid that I won't have enough time to finish it. Although I still don't know much about accounting but I'm starting to find it interesting. Accounting can be fun too. Maybe this is a good start?

Woohoo~ I just finished economics online test. Jjang!! Hehehe.....100%! How I wish that's the result for my mid-term exam or final exam. That would be great!! Hahaha....I'm so greedy. I would be surprised if I didn't get 100% for the online test as it's just 9 objective questions. It's unforgivable for someone who had studied economics before especially if it's a test on a simple topic.

Gosh! It seems like I've said something foolish in my facebook chat. What a fool I am.

Economics mid-term exam

Hahaha! Just came back from exam hall after economics mid-term exam.

It was okay. The questions were what I've expected(that's because I studied economics before....hehehehe~) and that's why I think it's quite easy even though there are some tricky questions.

I finished 10 minutes before time's up and started looking around and that's when I started to feel worried about my answers. When I looked left, I saw the girl's answer sheet was fully filled with words. Same goes to the girl at my right side. I looked at my paper and was like ''Oh sh*t! Did I left out something?''. My answers were really short, not more than half of the paper. So, I quickly read through the questions again just incase I missed out any and recheck my answers again but found out everything was just fine. My answers were all straight to the point and I've written down all that's required(err.....I think so....Hahhaha!). I hope that all the answers I've written were correct.

What I'm most worried about is accounting exam. OMG! Accounting!!! I don't know how!!! =_= (.......) May god bless me for accounting. LOL!

Presentation

Lalalala~~ English presentation is over!! I don't care how I did for the presentation. What is important to me is it O.V.E.R. Hehehe~

Of course in a class of almost 30 people, there is always someone who is really good at presentation; someone who is bad at presentation.

As what I have learned from my coursemates through their presentation, in order to deliver a good presentation, you have to have a good eye contact with the audiences. Without eye contact with the audiences will make them feel as if you are presenting to the wall, not to them.

Secondly, speak in a loud and clear voice. I find it important because it is necessary to attract the audiences' attention. If your voice isn't loud enough, people wouldn't pay attention to your presentation no matter how well you presented.

Lastly, always try to stay calm and be confident. Some people are really good at acting confident although deep inside, they are feeling really nervous.

I don't think I did any of the points mentioned above during presentation. *shakes head*

I tried to maintain eye contact with the audiences but lost it eventually because I was so nervous that I forgot all my lines. Ends up, I kept looking at my paper. *shakes head*

I don't think I spoke loud enough although I tried to. I don't know what's wrong with me. Maybe I'm just too nervous.

I didn't spoke clear enough too. I was so nervous that I forgot all my lines. All my lines got jumbled up and I ended up stammering........or maybe mumbling too? *shakes head again*

Whatever it is, I'm really glad that the presentation is over. Phew~ *happy*

I finished my maths assignments yesterday. Did 4 in a row. Hahaha! It's a good thing that I finished them yesterday. The earlier the better.

This week is going to be a busy week. Quizzes and mid-term exam next week!! AHH!!!! OMG! OMG!! Accounting!! I'm still clueless about it. Feels like banging my head on the wall now.

Maths assignments

Assignments! Assignments! Assignments! I still have 4 more maths assignments to do and the deadline is next weeks. Arrgh!! Sure, I'll be able to finish those assignments before the deadline because it's just maths after all but I'm starting to hate maths nowadays. The lecturer is making maths lesson so boring to the point that I don't feel like attending any maths lessons anymore. Hmm...that's serious. I hope I can get a better lecturer for the next semester or else my maths......I'm gonna fail it. ( NOO!!!! I won't let that happen!!)

It's 1.10am already. I know I should be sleeping by now. So......Tata~ LOL

Audition?

Just came back from KCS(Korean Cultural Society) Annual General Meeting.

The emcee asked :" Why do you join KCS?"

OH~ Well, good question. Erm....because I love korean musics? Is this answer good enough? Hahaha~ I guess so.

KCS holds several activities. Among them are cooking, language learning and dancing. Of course the kpop-addicted me would choose dancing. Language learning is a no-no for me as the cost is rm60 and it includes presentation, assignment, drama and exam. @_@?? I would love to do drama but assignment and exam? Why?

Okay....now to dancing. Loads of people queued up to sign up for dancing including me. The reason why I choose to join dancing is because the fee is rm8 per month(hmm...quite ok) and I would love to learn korean dance moves. It's fun to watch other people dance to the moves and I would like to give it a try. So it's finally my turn to sign up already. I was told that I have to prepare for an audition this Saturday. I was so shocked. OMG! WTH!! Audition?? ZZZzzzz..... aikss.....what am I going to do? Dance random dances? Sorry sorry+gee+shy boy+genie LOL!

What am I suppose to do? I don't know how to dance. That's why I want to join....to learn. =="

Anyway, I don't have much time to worry about what to dance now as I'm having english reading presentation this Thursday. Ahh.....who cares. I'll just simply dance. Free style. LOL!

Class and lessons

Oh it's gonna rain. It's gonna rain anytime soon. The strong chilling wind that blows through the window makes me feel so fresh and soothing. The coolness of the wind is exactly like the one you feel in Genting Highlands. Woohoo~ I miss Genting. I wonder when can I go there again. Probably this year? Next year? AH! I don't know.

I'm really sorry to admit that after 1 month, I still don't know all my classmates. Even worse, I don't even know their names.

I had General English class yesterday and we were supposed to divide among ourselves into 3 students per group the day before the class started. As we were randomly grouped, I got separated from my friend. I got two group members with the name............Ching chong, chang Ching........(opps, in the end I still don't know their names....that goes to show how bad my memory is... LOL). So of course I couldn't find my members yesterday and had to ask around. I asked 5 people the same question :"Hey, do you know who is this person?" but all I got is a NO. Hahaha! They're as blur as me.

Then I met a nice guy who voluntarily helped me to walk around the class and asked while the class was still conducting. In the end, the answer is still NO. Aww....poor guy, poor me. Hahaha! So who and where the hell is my member?! At last, I found them when the class was about to end. ==" WTH!!

You know what, my roommate watched japanese ghost movie in the middle of the night without earphone yesterday. Oh my gosh! I was about to sleep when I heard all those eerie voices that always gives me goosebumps. Luckily she stopped watching after that when she saw me going to bed.

I'm getting busier day by day. I think I have to cut down the time I spend on Facebook. Maths and accounting lecturer are teaching at a high speed, as if rushing to give birth. Unlike the lecturers in Sunway, they think that all of us are geniuses and are able to keep up their incredible speed.

Example:

Maths lecturer: Blah~blah~blah~

(After 3 minutes)

Maths lecturer: Okay now try this question.

(Students start to copy question...)

(After 10 seconds)

Maths lecturer: So what's the answer?

(WTH!!!!!)

I'm starting to hate maths already. Opps.....I love maths but I hate the lessons. It's soooo booorrriiiiinnnnggggg~~~ZZZZzzzzzz.................

Accounting is even worse. The lecturer take for granted that all of us learned it before. Okay......so.....so.......my expression was literally like from =_=?? >> O.o?? >> o.O?? during the whole lesson. It purely shows that I don't understand a single thing she is talking about. *sigh* I feel like banging the wall now. Boing~

Say "NO!" to blur!

What a blur girl I am. I don't even know what's in my mind. I have been so blur all these while that I can't even stand myself anymore. Arrghh!!!! Damn it! I'll be more alert from now onward. I don't want to be blur anymore. I'm no blur girl anymore, ever!!

Phew! Thank god. No quizzes for today or else I would be dead meat. I'm going to study today because there will be quizzes tomorrow and on Wednesday. Jiayou~Jiayou!

My life of the day

This is the 101th post. Celebrate? Nah.....

My toe is still hurting. I hope it heals by tomorrow because I'm going out with my friends this Saturday. So toe ah, toe....please heal.

We did online Facebook learning for General English just now. It was quite fun actually. We can secretly chat within members while the lecturer is teaching.

Lecturer: Wow! I'm so shocked! Why are you guys so quiet today?

Students: It's okay~

Hahaha! Actually we're chatting among ourselves. XD

I still miss my shoulder-length-hair very much. :( I really do look like a 13 year old kid loitering around MMU. Hahaha! LOL~

Well, I guess nothing much to say about my life today. At last, the sad days are gone. I'm back to the happy me again. Quizzes of all the subjects are starting next week but I still couldn't understand accounting. OMG! I've not even started any revision. Why does the day passed so fast? The tension is getting greater and greater day by day. I can't breath!!

Oh! Not that early!

Sien ah~!!! Have to wake up so early tomorrow for group project. Initially I planned to wake up at 7.30am but then one of my group members told me they're going to start the project at 7am tomorrow instead of 4pm. Boohoo~~

That means I have to sacrifice my sleep tomorrow. Anyway, I'll be late tomorrow. I'm going to reach only at 8am. I don't care! Hmph!! Hahaha! I just hate to wake up so early. In addition, I don't think anyone will be there at 7am tomorrow.

Here and there again

Another week has passed. Nothing significant to brag about. It's just the same routine everyday. Listen to songs every night before I sleep, wake up and rush to classes, comes back with a tired look, turns on laptop and goes on Facebook as usual, study and sleep. End of story.

Oh ya......did I mention it? I just joined Korean Cultural Society in MMU. I'm going to join the dance group. I'm so excited about it. I've never learned dancing before and has always yearned for. It's like a dream come true! Yay~! I may join korean language group too if it's possible. At least I will be able to understand kpop songs without any help of lyrics.

I'm not a fan of korean drama fan. I just love korean songs!

This is the song that I've been humming all long in my day dreams and also whenever I'm bored. I'm surprised that this addicting song was sung by 5dolls, a sub-group of Co-ed. What is even more surprising is the music video. Since it's a cheerful song, I automatically assume that the music video is going to be a cute one with the girls dancing along in it but.....no, it's not.

It's about a girl who suffers leukimia meets a guy who rescued her when she fainted on the street. It was found out later that the guy is studying in the same art school as her and eventually she has a crush on him. Sadly, the guy already has a girlfriend. Despite that, they still keep in touch with each other. At last the girl dies because of leukimia.

Hahaha! The story is so dramatic like some korean drama isn't it? Why do someone have to die in the end? It should at least have a happy ending. That's what I feel. This reminds me of a nigahiga video I've watched about his rant on asian drama.

Hahaha! That's so lame but funny! Hahaha!
