Assignments

Assignments are scary.

The 1st assignment in my college life let me ended up 4am still awake trying to rush every single undone bits of the research report. It wasn't anything hard and complicated. Just that we are not exposed to this kind of pressure and apparently we took it bloody lightly.

I woke up at 10am realizing I am almost late for my 10.30am Principle of MICE class on the due day. Luckily I made it in time with my wrong cover on my assignment and the wrong font through out the whole assignment.

Oops.

I guess I am considered lucky to get my 5 hours sleep while my other fellow classmates' sleeping hours ranging from 3 hours right down to none at all. For example, Miss Anastasiah who look like a walking corpse the whole day, the cranky walking dead body to be exact. Another classmate of mine, Ham will sleep at anywhere if possible. Desperate for sleep, it is the 1st time I see this kind of situation.

I was surprisingly high today. I don't know why. I got that kind of reverse effect on myself when I do not get enough sleep.

Also the cranky part.

First Final Exam

Study Skills Final Exam...

I went to the 3rd floor which is the School of Business and Law for my final exam. It started at 10.00am and at 9.50am Sen Yong called me and asked what time is the exam. Oh my goodness.

The exam is much like an English Test which basically consist of True/False, Fill In The Blanks, MCQ and Short Answer Questions.

Finish it get over it and forget it. This is how I want it to be.

Mid Term for Study Skills

I woke up late today.

I suppose to have Mice and Accommodation Product class at 8.30am but then when I woke up it was already 9.15am.

I was lucky not to miss the Mid Term Study Skills test at 10.35am.

The study skills test is short. Everyone of us finish it within 15 minutes while it was suppose to be a 1 hour test. I was concentrating to answer as quickly as I can since we can leave the hall after 30 minutes and suddenly I realized I finished the paper and the clock was not even 10.50am yet.

So, I had to wait until 11.05am to leave the hall.

Bored, then I took out my handphone and snapped the picture of the test paper, forgetting to off the camera shutter sound. *Chi Chiak* The lecturer stared at me for a while and said to the class:" Okay, you can put your test paper on the desk here and leave the hall quietly."

I was overjoyed.

Apparently it was so easy, the test I mean. If the final exam on this Saturday is the same as the mid term test, I'm definitely going to pass without doing anymore further revising. XD

Wonderful.

Sunway Pyramid Freeze

Well, there was the Sunway Pyramid Freeze in conjunction with the World Earth's Day.

Stephanie told me about this actually, and we both agreed to go join the fun, just for fun. Apparently this freezing thing is from America with a group called Improveverywhere. Go to YouTube and I am sure you can find plenty of their marvelous works.

Before this there was the KL Freeze of Unison which was held at Pavilion. In the following week, Sunway Pyramid Freeze is here.

We are told to wear green. So, I got in ALL GREEN. T-shirt, pants, bag and bottle. Too bad I don't have green shoes to match. They also want our time to be synchronized to the second, just to be accurate.

I was there early from 4pm and met up with Stephanie at 5.30pm. We tried up Wendy's for the first time. The Medium sized portion almost made us both die of stomach explosion. America people really eat a lot. They have something called Chile which normally you find on top of the hot dogs, surprisingly tasty.

When it is about 8pm, almost the freezing time, suddenly there's a guy gave us the green paper. Stating that we should freeze around LG2, the corridor near ToyCity, Aussino and Watson for 4 minutes.

Of course we make it in time, with a small group of people, we all froze in time for 4 minutes. I was drinking water and Stephanie was removing out her cap. People around started to take videos and pictures for this bizarre event.

I placed my handphone in my pocket with the alarm goes off at 8.04pm and my hand pressed against my pocket just to feel the vibration for the unfreeze session.

When it is time, Stephanie and I quickly walked away and gave each other a quiet high five. When we moving up to the escalator, we see another bigger group freezing at the Orange Atrium. As well as the center in front of the main entrance. What the hell is going on?

I certainly have no idea.

Half disappointed, Stephanie and I left Sunway Pyramid at exactly 8.47pm.


Finally found this video, but then the girl that is videotaping actually featured my ass. I don't really feel comfortable with that.

Questions

Sometimes I question myself a lot.

Especially these years round. Questions ranging from the far outside society, until deep inside myself. Apparently, as days and days went by, the logic and mentality I have in me sort of go distorted.

Maybe I got old. Maybe I'm just thinking too much. I didn't deny that I had been always like that just that nobody ever know that unless I'm willing to or just too emo to a certain extent to tell them, but recently it just got worse. Maybe it's the whole life phase changing thing that cause these problems.

I'm an optimistic person, well, most of the time. I'm a friendly and cheerful person, well, most of the occasions. The thing is I cannot be alone, when I started to be alone, I start to think. Some say artistic people are like that, I thought so too.

Studying in college brings this matter to the next level. I actually questioned myself:"Who am I? Why am I doing here?" and stuff like that. I feel like I don't even know myself, barely even feel myself. Just getting on with the life, doing stuff that I usually do.

Behind the usual smile and laughter hiding a hollow soul.

I mean I don't really got a problem. Just that I don't know why I'm quite sensitive nowadays. It's like trying to change yourself to suit the reality. Following the norm of the society without even given a choice.

I'm thinking too much again.

Just...
Ignore...
Me...

Pop Quiz

My 1st pop quiz in my entire life almost murdered me.

For the subject Understanding Hospitality & Tourism Industry (UHTI), Ms. May had her 1st step of sending us to the graveyard, digging our own respective place of course, she'll just have to provide the shovel.

Not to say I didn't study, I'm dead sure I did. But somehow the questions are so tricky until I have no idea which to choose, despite it is only true and false questions. It is actually 5% of our Final Exam.

Oh crap...

Ice Skating

To be honest, I'm feeling a bit of rejection in me when my friend said:"Let's go skating on Tuesday after class." The second I hear the word skating, my face is filled with disgust.

Well, I had bad experience with ice skating.

A few years back when I am skating with my ex-classmates, I sort of fell and my pants is torn. From the middle down. I am pretty sure that 50% of the people skating in the ice rink saw the color of my underwear that afternoon.

So, I dislike ice skating. It just felt like something bad is going to happen to me if I skate. Blisters and torn pants is more than enough for me to keep me out of the skating rink for a decade.

Believe me or not, not even a quarter of decade, I found myself standing in the ice rink with my current course/classmates. I was forced to go I would say. Since I am the only one that is having super phobia towards ice skating and obviously majority wins, I paid the RM11(Student Price) almost unwillingly and went to skate.

The curse of the ice rink apparently is still there. Before I even enter the ice rink, I accidentally scratched by the entrance gate at my wrist and it started to bleed.

My friend thought my fear was so unbearable and I chose to end my life instead of facing it.

I never said ice skating is not fun. I mean I also enjoyed it, with a more solid jeans. I think I kind of get a hang on it. Despite the blisters on the legs and the suicide mark on my wrist, we all had fun in the ice skating rink.

My face no longer have a severe cramp when my friend said:"Let's go ice skating again on Tuesday."

P/S: Note to myself, wear solid pants. Eg. Jeans.

Chessy Chessy Chess

Chess is some game that I can play but never win. All of them, including Chinese Chess, English Chess, any game that ends with the word chess is a failure to me. Not gifted with the chess talent I guess. =(

Scholarship

I was accepted for the SUC Entrance Scholarship worth RM1500.

It didn't sound a lot, but obviously it is better than nothing. When it compared with the other college, it is very little. Around 200% lesser than normal scholarships.

Considering my result is moderately good.

Despite that, I cannot complain anything about it. Since I'm not like Chen Liang who is so hardworking and applied for 12 different scholarship, coming back for a week holiday from National Service just for interviews.

I consider myself lucky cause while we were waiting for class in the student center, I suddenly realized that the scholarship name list was on the notice board. Scanning the list 5th time only I found my name because I'm the only one in Event Management course that applied for this scholarship.

"Oh, it's here."I was extremely relieved.

We have to attend the Scholarship Presentation Ceremony on 10th of May. I sort of ask my parents whether they want to go there or not. "Don't want la. If it's RM15000 then I go." My mum said. I give triple dots for that particular reply.

Guess I have to go myself.

Marbles

The marbles I took during the religious talk in National Service. I actually got too bored and ran around the building while I find these marbles glittering under the sun.

SMKSU Sports Day

I don't know why am I there at the 1st place.

I woke up at 6.15am and got ready since I am car pooling with Esther. The rain shows no sign of stopping. The sun bloody came out during noon, while I'm wearing a hoodie. Someone claimed that I looked like a spy. Stephanie cut her hair. Hang Tuah marched like Nazi Army with an arm in front palms down. Formation can be seen. I got bored and went to eat at Taipan with Tong they all. Went home after that. P/S: Scouts got 5th in the marching competition.

I ended up pointless there.

Flying Cat

While I was in National service, we had a lot of time.

Normally this kind of photo will come out.

This photo is real and original.

P/S: My friend throw the cat.

I Miss My Camera

I don't have to explain how much I love photography. But then, my camera had just betrayed me and went away himself.

HE DIED.

For a long long time already. Without a camera is torturing. Not to mention when Ye Heng got his Canon 400D DSLR, I almost want to murder him when he told me that.

He claimed I influenced him.

I don't have to time to fix my camera, and I don't have the money to get another one.

There's so much I want to show, I want to tell. But, my camera is DEAD.

Bloody Hell.

When I look back the photos that I took, "Ah, memories!"

College

Well, in the end I ended up with diploma in event management and currently studying at Sunway University College. I never knew Event Management is called as 活动管理 in mandarin until I read the newspaper one day. It's better than what I used to call 节目策划.

Well, since there are so much people bugging my dad saying SUC is a college which is congested with rich brats, I always get free lectures in the car even before my day in the college actually started. Nothing is going to prove to him that I will try not follow the lifestyle of the rich and the famous(of course I wish I could).

The courses in the Event Management are very interesting, but that doesn't mean it is going to be easy to ace it. 事实刚好相反(The truth is totally opposite). Only 3 seniors passed the mid-semester exam for one of the paper, out of 20+ of them. I fear the subjects even more.

Nothing is easy in this world despite Adidas said:"Nothing is impossible."

I am sure people at other courses feel the same too.

The another thing in college life that almost put me in the state of epilepsy is actually the price of the textbooks. RM150 for a 600 pages thick hardcover book. Assuming I need 2 books per semester and I have 7 semesters complete, RM150 X 2 X 7 = RM2100. You know what? I rather save the money for laptop later.

But then, the original books are COLOURFUL. It is far more interesting than the black and white photostated copy of it. Hard decision, hard choice. *Smack palm to the forehead*

The most anticipated part is the student ID. It means, student price movie ticket, student discount for ticket and free entrance for pubs during college night on Wednesday. You have no idea how happy am I when I receive my very own Student ID.

I'm finally a college student!!

Not really fun though. As you have to rush class to class and assignments after assignments.

Oh well, it is the next phase in life.
