Sea VS. Lake

As you know today is Wesak Day, is a public holiday. So today university is close. That’s means I have whole day to wondering what to do.

Well, I dint really do that whole day. I went for “breakfast” at 10 in the morning with my friends. Why 10 o’clock only went for “breakfast”? Good question. Because that’s one of the benefit of public holiday. ><

After we done with “breakfast” we find our way to few places. We planed to go to Public Bank and take photo. But we find and find and find, we dint get any thing done… >< Because the photo shop dint open and the Public Bank at old town which will take about 15 minutes for us to walk there. Hey! Is 11 o’clock with bright sun above leh! Want me walk there? No WAY!

Then we went to ice house to eat ice~ Wow! It feel so great to eat ice at such a hot day~!

As we eat, we talk about our primary and secondary school’s stories. Both of my friends have a very… hmm… What to say… Challenging! They have a very challenging school life compare with me. Such as this, she(my friend) told us that when she in secondary(or primary? Gosh… I forgot already ><) school, she kena one senior bully just because my friend defeat her in one of the competetion. One day, when she sitting at somewhere with her friends, chatting, then one senior with other 3 people came to her and suddenly said:”Hey, you! Why you said me bodoh?” My freind was like… “What do I did? I just chatting with my friends. Since when I said you bodoh?” Then they start to fight(not using hands, as I know). In the end, all of them end up in counselling room. Under counsellor advice, they apologize to each other and they become quite close friends in coming few years.

My another friend have more challenging(I like using this word to describe her story) story. She told us that when she in primary school, she is the one who been bully, but in secondary school, she bully people pulak~! Her bully case in primary school is worse than the story above. Standard one, my friend try to make friend with one girl(I will use “the girl” from here). The girl said:”Want to be my friend? Can, but you have to give me at least RM100 per week(or month). If not, I don’t want be your friend and call whole class don’t friend with you.” Well, she just 6 years old after all, and she scare. Then my friend did what ever the girl said. That girl use many many of my friend’s money that time. Later, my friend, she keep a beautiful long hair. Then the girl called her to cut it! But my friend refuse to do that. Then here start the nightmare. The girl and her other friends sometimes pulls her hair la, stick paper which wrote something bad on her back la and etc. Yea, I know, it just like movie… Well, finally my friend can’t stand it anymore and complain to her mum. So her mum came to school and settle down this case. But after few days, the girl start the bully-things again. Then my friend really cut her hair… After this, the girl turn to bully other girl(which is my friend also). But now, when my friend meet the girl, she not afraid of her anymore, because my friend is taller and prettier than her! Way to go girl!

Then this morning, before I went out for breakfast, I chat with one friend(not the girls I mention above, this one is he). He told me his story. He told me that after STPM, many things happened around him. He break up with his girlfriend(2 years relationship). When that happened to him, he was stunned, sitting at his room like a stone(I never know that he was so royal, maybe is because I used to hears about his story, bad story, in secondary school… ><) Then one day, his brother came in and scold my friend until he cry. That time, he was awaken. All this time, his family was so support him and he very very thankful and he changed(believe me, he changed a lot!)

After I heard all this stories, I feel like… My life is so… Blank. If said that their life is sea which sometimes have small waves or maybe tsunami, my life will be lake… A quiet lake, no waves or tsunami. But I appreciate that. I wish that it won’t make me a very weak girl that can’t face any big problem that come to me. Well, my life won’t end like this right? I mean there must be someone will throw a stone into the lake, right? If there really a person, I don’t mind if you throw a big stone in my lake. Because I want take the challenge. I want learn to be strong, not pretending, like now.

End Of The Orientation!

YES~!! Today is the last day of my orientation in UTAR~!! I had attended about 10+ talks in total!

Some of my friends said why am I so stupid attended so many talks because most of them dint attended. There some reason that I’m attended the talks:

  1. I want to collect all the stamp. Collect all the stamps can claim the “Talent Time” ticket and UTAR Soft Skill Development Certificate(USSDC) point. If you collect enough point before you graduate you can get a Soft Skill Certificate which sign by President of UTAR. And I had joint for the certificate. More about USSDC, I just share you next time, because is really long story… ><
  2. Air condition la! At house so hot, go to the hall got air condition leh~!! So why not?
  3. Some of the information really useful.

So attended for so many talks, I think is time to do summary…

  • University is different from high school, you want to pass you have to work hard.
  • In university there is no teacher, but lectures. So no one will teach you but lecture you.
  • Always pay attention in class.
  • Be pro-active, creative and open minded.
  • Make as much friends as you can, to build up your human networking.
  • Learn not only things in text books but also outside the classroom as well.
  • Came to the university, away from family and parents, so have to learn how to independence and take care of yourself.
  • We are adults now, so we have to start to be responsible to everything. Freedom comes with responsible.
  • Always be alert to avoid theft. Do not let the thief take any chance on you.
  • Be confidence all the time, it also can avoid theft.
  • Know what are you doing.
  • Last but not least, Enjoy Your Life In UTAR (many speakers keep mention this point ><)

Image0631 I like his talk from all the talk i attended. He is Mr. Eddie Chee. He is not one of our lecture, he retire. His talk full of motivation and meaningful.

I would like to said some words to end today’s post…

University Life Is All About Enjoy And Hard Work~!!

Just another day in Kampar~

Just came back from pasar malam~ Brought something for tomorrow breakfast and lunch(in case cafeteria are full like today… ><) and something else. Talking about lunch today, the cafeteria was full with new students like me~!! Because I notice that got many people went to university early in the morning. So I bet they dint eat breakfast. Therefore everyone rush to cafeteria for lunch when the master ceremony said:”You can have you break now.”

Before I went to pasar malam, I went for dinner. Well, at that time, I was a super spot light to 2 couples… 1 couple is my third brother and his girlfriend then second couple is my little brother with his girlfriends. Actually I feel very embarrass that time, because I tried to chat with them but seem like no one want to chat with me… Sweat =.= … Plus, I was keep trying to avoid their conversation… So almost the whole time, I was just looked at my rice and eat lonely and silence…

Then the orientation programme, all I can said is “Bored~!!”. Whole day just talk and talk and talk… But it is useful and great talk but I still can’t stand of it because there got 6 talks in total… =.= Plus, I dint saw any French today… Sob…

I’m a student of UTAR~!!

Wow~!! I can’t believe that, so fast, now I’m a student of University~!!

It happened so fast,fast enough for me to think that I’m dreaming. When I open my eyes, everything will gone.

Well, I arrive Kampar on Sunday with my family. Then we went to check in. The Danish’s House Office like HOT PAN~!! SO HOT!!! One of the reason why so hot is there was full of people who want to check in and rent the room. I never thought it can be so crowned… ><

There’s something that I’m luckier than other people is I have 2 of my brothers(my third brother and my little brother) with me at here. Plus my third brother had study at here 3 years, so he can bring us all around to know about this place.

Then I have a lot of friends here, such as my classmate Chong Lee and Chin Ne, Garret(some pretty sure that he was here but no one saw him at all…)and schoolmate Teik Yean, Felicia, Kia Kuang(I haven’t meet him yet but I know he was here…) and Yew Zheng(I also know that he was here but I dint meet him…)

I brought my own bike just now. It cost me RM 220(include the lock and the back seat) >< It is expensive. Back in Taiping, RM 170 around can buy a very nice bike… Anyway, this bike will have to fetch me 4 years at here. Some of my friends dint buy the bike, because they all have their car(other friends’ car). I buy the bike because driving a car at here also very “ma fan”. Firstly you have to think about the parking problem. Second, the car sticker(RM 100 per car) is so hard to get it. Here have UTAR bus, but the bus ticket is RM 0.70 1 time you sit on it. Which mean 1 day RM 1.40 1 round. Then your time will become not flexible. So I and my brother decide to buy a bike.

This morning, I went to register at UTAR. On the way home, I saw French~!! Around 8 of them, they are soooooo… handsome~!!! ops… Excuse me, I’m slaver… >< I saw them walked out from Beiji(not China, Beiji la… Is the area of student hostel. Beiji is the most expensive and beautiful area of our hostel~!) to the bus stop. So I was thinking they maybe went to register as well. Then that’s mean they all studying foundation also, so… We could be classmate~!! Wow… Sorry, I slaver again… ><
