One Year Ago...

I walked towards the college, the first question is "Is that building one of the parts of the college?"
I took the lift to the third floor and the first student I met is a very tall guy. Feeling a sense of inferiority, another question emerged,"Are all the jpa students tall?". Later in a few days observing other students, only I knew that he is the tallest guy among all the jpa students. In the multipurpose hall, I continue to keep my silence till other students took the initiative to introduce themselves. Introducing myself and greeting with the other students in English have a certain level of difficulty as I rarely speak in English the past 17 years. I remember there is a gargantuan guy spoke loudly in chinese when we queue up for the registration. He seem more like an adult and at first I thought he must be someone's big brother or so. However, the truth is he is my classmate. I went to have lunch before going to the students house where I met my roommate and toilet mate. Two of them are quite friendly. After my mother and uncle and the others have left, I lay on the bed, alone in my room, felt sleepy,and waited for tomorrow...

Time For Another War

Oh no!!! The "quite long" semester break is almost coming to an end. After finishing the long and tedious mid term examination, I spent most of the semester break at home, idling my time away. Now, I am feeling regret or guilty for not utilizing the time properly. I should have made some preparation for the next challenging semester. What to do? Eight days have already gone and left one only. Recalling the mid year exams, I can say that they are really doing their job well in torturing people. None of them fails to cudgel my brain and get on my nerves. All the lecturers have made tough examinations so that we can accustomed ourselves to the real TEE exams. Well, another semester is approaching and another war is looming. It is time now to gear myself for the "exam-oriented" life.

Resurrection

It has been a long time since I updated my blog about a month ago (if I am not mistaken). So, I have decided to resurrect it a bit and then let it dormant for another month. This is mainly due to the fact that I am short of ideas, feelings and opinions that can be posted in this blog. Anyway, I have a few words and idioms that best describe me:
1) slow- taking a long time or not fast
2) slowpoke- a person who moves, acts or works too slowly
3) slow-witted- not able to think quickly;slow to learn things
4) slow on the uptake- to be slow to understand sth
5) slow off the mark- slow in reacting to a situation
I mention all the words above because I have not finished my homework and assignments!!! Why I am so slow?

Shaking, Trembling And Vibrating

From the day I was born, I was predestined not to be able to be a surgeon, photographer and many more. There are many possible factors that contribute to my incurable abnormality. First, it may be caused by long-term deprivation of certain nutrients(however my everyday-meals are quite normal).Second, it can be caused by weak blood circulatory system since the abnormality is always significant after excessive use of energy especially after carrying something heavy. Third, it may be due to tension, fear, anxiety and apprehension. This can be proven when somebody is watching me writing something or when I am giving a speech in front of the crowd. I admit that it really causes a lot of uneasiness and troubles for me. However, it may be useful if someone want a blur photograph. I will be the most eligible candidate for that because my hands are able to produce very strong vibration but it has to depend on the circumstances.

Compelled To Write

Today is the last day of February, I still short of one post for the month if this post is included. Anyway, three posts are more than two posts and I manage to maintain the number of posts at three. It seems like the rate I blog remains constant... This week, I am completely overwhelmed by assignments and revisions. Next Monday has oral review, Tuesday has Chemistry test and Thursday has App Maths test. How I wish I can be proffered more time to finish my work. The oral review about the documentary "Bowling For Columbine" is really a painstaking task. I really have no idea of what I can talk about it. Somehow, movie or documentary review do not get my interest because I am not adept in analysing the movie or documentary. Now, I am quite worry about my future because of my erratic academic performance this few months. It does not seem to augur well for my TEE exam this year end. What can I do now except study hard...

Recollection Of Shooting Day

Today is quite boring and I think there will be no significant event happen to me. So, I have to write something that happened last Saturday. It was quite an exhausting day. I went to KL Sentral with my documentary group members.First, five of us went to Kelana Jaya LRT station by taxi. Unfortunately, one taxi can only accommodate four passengers excluding the driver. Therefore, we had to split into two groups where Amin, Syafiq and Gugan took the first taxi; Sing Yong and I wait for another one. To my astonishment, my group reached the destination first. I still remember that the taxi driver claimed that he used the F1 petrol (sure he was bluffing). However there is another possibility...F=ma where mass is inversely proportional to acceleration if the force produced by the engine is kept constant. Later, we took LRT to KL Sentral. There, we started the shooting and we tested the politeness and kindness of the people. Believe me, it was not an easy job. Things were not going smoothly as we thought. Besides, we also interwiewed some tourists. I really worshipped my group members courage to ask questions. Somehow, I am the timid one and would stand there in complete silence.That is part of the events that happened in the day. Hopefully, we will be able to finish the documentary in time...

Filling And Labouring

There are only four words to summarize my CNY celebration this year-eating, playing, visiting, and sleeping. It seems like every chinese new year remains the same for me because I will be doing the same things every year. Therefore in this post, I will write something that happened before the chinese new year. During the day before the new year eve, I got rid of the long term torment from eating something hard like peanut and fruit. My mother insisted that I had a treatment before this annoying cavity deteriorates. I went to a dentist and had a filling which cost my mother fifty ringgit. This is comparably cheaper than having it in Australia as told by my mother. Indeed, I really thanked my mother for that because I could indulge myself in all kinds of cookies during the chinese new year. However after the filling,my siblings and I had a toilsome,tiredsome and laborious home cleaning. I was ordered by my mother to clean the fan, wash the toilet and mop the floor in order to make sure that every area even the most unnoticed one in the house is spick and span. Anyway, I hope it is not too late to say Happy Chinese New Year to those who drop by this post.

Free At Last

Huh...finally i managed to escape myself from the devil clutches of all my homework. This is only the second week of my Ausmat program and the amount of my homework in this week almost weighed me down. I really cannot foresee my life in the next ten months. Now, i am quite dubious about my ability to cope with all the stress from my studies. Every question in my calculus and applicable mathematics books seems to be a torture for me. I mean it took me quite a long time to contemplate whether i should use this method to solve it or not. This really creates a lot of pressure on me which i have never faced before. After viewing some of the posts from my jpa friends, i felt that my writing skill is still not up to the mark. I still have a lot to learn from them. Another new resolution is made here...I will spare at least half an hour everyday to improve my grammer, vocabulary and sentence structure. Hopefully i will be able to make it...

Facts And Figures About My Learning Habits

1. Where do you read and study?
I prefer reading and studying in my room especially when the 'owl' is sleeping. Therefore, I can enjoy total peace and tranquillity.

2. What is the best time for you to read?
Well, the best time for me to read ranges from 8 am to 1++ am the next day. That means with the exception of my sleeping time, every hour or minute will be the best time for me to exercise my mind.

3. How long do you normally study without a break?
If I were still a secondary school student, I can study 5 to 6 hours without a break. However when I came here(KBU), 2 to 3 hours of study are my maximum limit.

4. What type of distraction bother you the most?
Erm...I suppose noise is the main distraction that I have to face everyday. This is the reason why I don't like to study in the college library which is not always in silence.

5. On average, how many different assignments do you work on in one evening?
Since I am a slowcoach, I can only finish 2 or 3 assignments in one evening.

6. What type of rewards might work for you?
I am not the one who yearn for any material rewards. A compliment like 'not bad' or 'good' will be enough to make me on cloud nine.

A Hectic Year

This blog is created for the sole purpose of improving my writing skill.

I still cannot believe that I make my own blog. If my new English lecturer did not make it compulsory as a part of my studies, I think I will never try it in my life. Hopefully I will like it in the future.

This morning, I was thunderstruck by the whole year schedule of my English subject. A long list of assignments and tests awaits me. Worst still, every assignment will be included in my TER score. How I wish I could return back to my secondary school because I know it will be harder for me to accustom myself to the new education system.

Anyway, I will have to go through it.Just remember the darkest hour is nearest the dawn.
