it's just another week

it's just another week, just another Sunday. nothing special, nothing important happened for the whole week. weekdays had been really hectic for me. i was rushing on assignments and projects then. i'm glad it's almost over. there'll be two presentations in a row next week and will head back to home on friday afternoon. there'll be 3 weeks for my final exams preparation and i really hope i can prepare well for this final and score better results. results for past semesters had been disappointing. i knew what i was doing, i have no idea why i couldn't score. sigh...getting less than 3.50 is the last thing on my don't-ever-happen-list. i'll be having tonnes of tuition classes with my student next week. i want to teach her in an express way, get my paid and leave for Johor, for my study weeks.

i went to my sister's place last friday. had a nice dinner with her at Oh! Sushi. we had loads of unagi and sashami, fresh ones. the food was nice but the service...ok, they were a bit slow. if you are expecting for various choices of sushi or have low budgets, i suggest Sushi King. after dinner, we went to American Watch. my sister bought me a Casio watch, 20% off. It was a great deal. the watch is super cool. it is my belated birthday present. i love my sis so much and feel sorry for her for she's spent a lot on me. after that we went for a movie preview, sponsored by her company ~ Resident Evil. it's emm...just not my kind of movie. the action was not that good, most of the scenes were disgusting, full of bloods and lotsa obnoxious-man-eating-beasts. i wouldn't recommend you this movie. i think it's not worth it to pay the amount to watch it in cinema. i also saw an ad on a movie, showing this december~ the golden compass. seems nice to me~adventurous, epic, fancy...will catch it if i have a chance. before i rendezvous my sis, i went shopping alone. got myself a purse, face cream and etc. i had fun !!!

i cried again this morning. i was thinking of my dad again. sigh...i'm so useless. i thought i got tougher, mana tau, still da same. hope i can put everything at the back of my mind and focus on my family. sometimes i just feel so useless. the elders said educations can make you achieve a lot in life. the thing is i don't feel i've achieved anything in this life. i can't even provide my family a better life, to be exact, i'm still wayyyyyyy very far from that. just another day of feeling useless and helpless.....

the world is going wild

what's happened to this world? everyone got so cruel and brutal. everyday, when i wake up and flip through the newspaper, i read news about children being sexually, mentally and physically abused before they are murdered. it is such a sad scenario to heard these news. i thought this is a civilized world. people should know how to respect each other as humans. it's just not right to even have a lustful thought.

recently, there is this Nurin's case where she is murdered and her body are kept into a plastic bag and dumped at PJ. her private parts were stuffed with cucumber and brinjal. imagine how severe the pain would be if someone stabbed you with an iron steel.
in my opinion, we are not doing good enough, for this world, for the people around us and even for ourselves. we tend to take things for granted. think back, how careful you are for all these time??!!
are you concerned about your family's safety? are you concerned about your own safety? i know, people would think, 'my area is safe enough for me to walk in the middle of the night'. this is so wrong. villains won't tell you when they will appear to capture you. villains won't tell you when they are going to murdered you. things happen unexpectedly. i'm not saying that it was all the victims fault for being victimized. everyone should be more alert and who knows, this could decrease the percentage of this kind of cases.
the authority should put their focus on keeping the nation safe rather than just sitting in the office and do all the paper works. they are trained to do this. the nation begins to lose their confidence and trusts towards the polices in the country.
i think people are acting wild and going back to the era where humans become uncivilized and were once barbarians.

above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life

i won !!!

it has been a week since i last updated my blog. it has been an exhausting and tiring week.
i participated in a competition last thursday and won second place, it's a team work. my group will be representing UKM to national level, which will be held in USM this coming january. we had put loads of effort into this competition. i still remember that i had spent more than 20 hours in faculty 2 days before the competition. went to faculty as early as 5 a.m and left as late as 2 a.m. well, it's time well spent. God knows that we work extremely hard for this and let us won. the competition was called Chem-E-Car competition. we were to design a car of shoe-box size and design a chemical reaction to run the car. during the competition day, we were told to run our car at a specified distance and our car was to carry a specified load. so, the whole competition was about how good we were at controlling the car so that it could stop at the desired distance. we were given 2 chances to run our car. our 1st run was far more better than our second run. the 1st run stopped 2.36 m away from the desired distance while our 2nd run stopped 5.10 m away from the distance. the champion stopped 3 cm away from the specified distance. it was mere luck for them. during our test run for 2 days, we managed to control our car to stopped at the distance we set. luck were not on our side during the competition. anyway, we did get the 2nd place and going to national level soon. really thank God for everything. although there is a group member that i can't stand with, winning this competition makes what he did, nothing to me. i quarreled with him during the competition day, it was his fault but i was not patient enough as well. anyway, his opinions will be totally ignored by me in the future.

i really made my sister upset because i stay back till wee hours at faculty and she was worried about me. i couldn't abandon my group member and left. i have to admit that human has to sacrifice a part of his or her life to achieve something big in life. i actually shouted and jump scatteredly when i knew that my group won the 2nd place. i actually cried after our car's second run because i thought we would not win with such bad results. anyway, other groups were worse than us and we finally won.

i left all my assignments and projects undone and now i have to sacrifice my sleeping time to complete them. final exams are around the corner and i haven't prepared yet, even for one subject. i need to start applying for internships and prepare for presentations. really hate a busy life. anyway, i still manage to find some time to do some nonsense stuffs and relax my mind, body and soul (=.=)

my housemate gave me a youtube link just now and i really enjoyed watching it. i'll attach below



lee hom sang superbly good during the unplugged mini concert. he really felt the music when he sang those songs. his voice is so smooth and perfect. he knows what key to use in singing every words. it's such a perfect show. i love his unplug version more than his recorded version. i think words couldn't express how i felt after i listened to his songs, especially the 2nd song. my heart was melted by his beautiful voice. i really hope to go to one of his concerts. i salute him!!!
i must learn how to play guitar and play as well as he does.

will update my blog with photos from the competition soon.

cry...

i have no idea what's wrong with me. i was crying profusely during my maths class just now. stress ignited the whole dramatic scene of crying and the thoughts of my dad kept emerging in my mind made me cried continuously. the situation got worse when i thought of my dad who supported me unconditionally, the car my dad bought me, the hope my dad had in me, the faith my dad had in me, and everything that he had done for me. i guess most of my coursemates discovered that i was crying. it was so embarrassing but it can't be helped. tears kept coming down, the pain in my heart increased immensely. i still can't let go of my dad i.e. the fact that he's gone. how i wish i could be reunited with him now. some of my coursemates came to console me, but none prevail. none of them know why i was crying. i guess this is life. i think i'm going back to my own closet again. i think i am regaining my old life. the life when my dad left us.

i'm going to end this now...

a trip to kuantan

i went to kuantan for chemical plants visitation on last tuesday. my coursemates and i departed from ukm to kuantan on monday evening, around 4.30 p.m. we were divided into 2 groups. i don't know what happened with the bus system in ukm, my bus was late and the other group's bus(group B) was at departure point on time and group B left without us. so we waited for half an hour before we got onto the bus and rode off. it was a long journey, all the way from bangi ukm to the coast at kuantan. we reached the resort around 11 p.m. we got ourselves checked in, put all our luggages in our respective rooms and went out to have a stroll along the beach. it was so dark, we could hardly see anything.

our foots(there were me, ing hua, wenli, tee hui, kit how and kok leong)

there was a small stream on the sand and we saw some ikan bilis, some claimed it was tadpoles

the sand

a sand castle

after a while, we went to a mamak stall nearby and hang out with other coursemates until around 1 a.m and went back to our rooms. we woke up as early as 5.45 a.m just to rush ourselves to the beach to catch the splendid sunrise

my feet
my feet, again
still...my feet

the splendid sunrise...worth sacrificing sleep for

after watching the sunrise, we went back to our rooms. we got ready and went down to the cafeteria to have our breakfast. the breakfast was o.k...
we started our journey, i mean visitation around 8.30 a.m. i was mesmerised by those big big reactors, distillation columns, pump, control panels in the control room and the surroundings. i really wish i could work there. we were forbidden to take pictures in one of the 2 plants we visited. so the pictures shown below was taken from only 1 plant, the smaller one yet so genuine and i'm lovin' it !!!

combination of everything

i seem small

we had our lunch beside the beach and the scenery was breath-taking

it was an amazing trip(more like a holiday to me) even though i was extremely exhausted and i have tonnes to clothes to wash...back to work !!!

i went back to my hometown last weekend. i got loads of cool stuffs especially from my sis. i didn't regret going back home although i had loads of assignments and projects and exams to be done and read. i realise how good my families are and i'm so grateful for having them in my life. although they don't understand my needs, at least they won't lie to me....
