Dear friends…

It’s the last day. Suddenly I don’t feel like growing up. It was so much nicer to be young. To be ignorant. To be worry-free. Sad to leave, especially my friends. After this, we are going to fly our separate ways to chase our dreams. We wouldn’t know when can we ever meet again. The laughter, the tears, the happiness and the sadness that we shared are the memories that we have. Your existence made a difference in my life.

Thank you, my dear friends.

Take care.

So long.

I’m so happy that I finished learning Japanese language level 1. It’s so nice to learn a foreign language especially the one you like the most. Japanese and Chinese language will be my on-going lessons. ^^

The Last Week

For the first time, I feel sad to leave UM. This week is the last week of my final semester. Time really passes very fast. By the time I get to breathe properly, it’s already week 14. Couldn’t really grasp what I’ve been through this semester. Attended Japanese class this semester. The nicest class of all. The class that I will miss the most too! Had a very nice Japanese teacher. Sweet and lovely. This time is for real that I’m going to leave schooling life forever. I usually felt sad when I was going to leave my schools – primary (MGS 2), secondary (MGSS), pre-university (MHS) and now UM. I really enjoyed my studies life a lot. Nevertheless, we have to move on.

Last Friday, I was in the hospital for almost 12 hours. My aunt a.k.a mom was admitted for minor stroke. I brought her to see the doctor at Mahkota Hospital. Doctor advised her to be admitted for proper monitoring and check ups. However, a deposit fee of RM5000 is required! Gosh, it was late night around 11pm. Where could we get so much cash in hand at that moment? This hospital is really focusing on making profit rather than saving patients. So we shifted to general hospital. It is a widely known facts to Malaysians that the government hospital is super slow. We went there at 12am but my aunt only got to be admitted at 4am. And there weren’t many people at that time. Why did we need to wait for 4 hours?? Couldn’t really sleep that night. Reached home around 5.30am. Slept at 7am to do homework. Woke up at 10.30am. Started to look for information and contacts of acupuncture doctor. It was said to help stroke patients to recover. Aunt was well monitored by the doctors in general hospital. At 2pm, doctor said she could be discharged. So we went there to get the procedures done. And again, I waited from 2pm to 7pm just for my aunt to discharged. Why the heck do we need to wait  for 5 hours just to be discharged???! And that also we did not get the report. It was only after 9pm that we could get the report of my aunt’s condition. I understand that there are many patients in GH but the slowness wasn’t caused by the number of patients. It was caused  by the inefficient system that the government hospital is running on. Saddened by this condition, I promised myself that I’m going to earn lots of money and never again let my family members to go to GH.

已经是 Final Year 的我

我知道已经过了满就。但我还是要写。我对摇篮手的感想。我对演绎会的感想。看了表演真的是很感动。为什么会感动呢?应为它让我会想起我曾经走过的路。酸甜苦辣。有开心也有辛苦的时候。但是这一切都是值得的。今年没在台上的我,真的觉得很不舍得。不舍得放下摇篮手也不舍得放下表演的机会。看了他们的表演之后,我真的发现到我很爱表演。我很爱音乐。我爱唱歌。我爱跳舞。可能我喜欢听到掌声的声音。当别人为我的付出所给的一种肯定。

Back To School!

That’s right! I am back to UM to continue my last semester of my degree. Spending the past 9 months staying in hometown makes me feel homesick once I reached KL. I really enjoyed my 6 months of internship a lot back in PwC Melaka. But life has to go on. Has a slight fever the next day after arriving at KL. @@

Hope I can survive through these 5 months. I dislike being far from my family and friends. It’s so lonely here…

Housemates Gathering - PITSTOP

During study week, I had the first last gathering with my housemates as we are going on our separate ways after the exam. So we decided to take a break at PitStop. The only special thing here is the variety of games for us to play. Other than that, nothing else special. The food is normal. Not very nice but not that bad either.

P1070097 P1070088 P1070096 P1070104 A808

A808 is the house where we have stayed for almost a year. Although sometimes I was struggling while staying there, it’s undeniable that I had fun time with them too! Take care pals! =)

Business Ethics

9 more hours to my 4th paper and here I am writing this post to recap what I’ve learnt so that I can put to good use later in exam.

Relativism: No ethical standards that are absolutely true that apply to all situations.

Absolutism: There is one set of unchanging moral rights that will hold true in all situations.

Descriptive Relativism: Accepts that different cultures have different standards.

Normative Relativism: Accepts that people have different opinion to justify their act.

Egoism: An action is morally right if it promotes self interest.

Utilitarianism: People should act in ways that produce the most happiness to the greatest number of people affected by our actions.

Principle of Duty: An obligation that an individual needs to fulfil as a result of his/her role in the society.

Principle of Right: Human beings have rights that ought to be respected.

Universalism: An action is ethical if people are willing to accept it as a universal conduct.

Principle of Ends: An act that treats human beings as end and never as mean.

Principle of Autonomy: Human beings have the freedom to make decision without being influenced by others.

Principle of Equal Liberty: Everyone has an equal right to be treated equally.

Principle of Fair Equality of Opportunity: Everyone has equal chance to improve his/her position in the society.

Principle of Difference: People should seek to serve the least advantage people to the greatest benefit.

………………………………………………………………………

There are so much more theories!!! At this point of time, I’m lazy to continue anymore. Does studying all these ethical theories really cultivate ethical behaviour?

NONSENSE!

Conclusion?

Examination is to satisfy the requirement of the society to prove that students meet the standards before being released to the working life.

Sensei

Looks like I’ve abandoned this blog for quite some time. Well, I just didn’t have much inspiration on what to write. When I read one of my friends’ post, I started asking myself, “Am I the kind of person who can’t do anything at all during exam besides studying?” I wouldn’t want to be that kind of person.

Anyway, I’m not going to write anything about motivation, exams, studies, bla…bla…bla… Today, I just want to focus on a very special person which I never thought that I would post it up but somehow I feel that I need to write it down because I want this memory to remain in my mind forever.

If you somehow know a little bit of Japanese language, I think you can guess who is this special person that I’m referring to. He’s none other than my beloved lecturer.

Mr Khoo Peng Hong

If you know me and him as well, I’m sure you’d know why he is special to me. There is no other lecturer like him who has impressed and inspired me so much before! I like him! In fact, I think I love him! =p

I’m fascinated by the way he carries himself, his politeness, his well-mannered attitude and his SMILE! I’m mesmerized by his knowledge, skills and talents! I’ve never admired anyone so much like him before.

Sometimes I really wonder, have I really fallen in love with him?

 Yui__s_surprised_face_by_KonohaKunoichi94

I think most of you would be stunned just like the girl above. Haha… Don’t get me wrong. I’m not that kind of person who is specifically fond of elderly man. But he is really special. He’s not just an elderly man. He is the MAN! As in the best person who can be a role model to anyone.

I don’t really care about the age so much when it comes to love. And so far, no man like him has ever captured my attention so much before.

3 In 1

This will be a “rojak” post because there are 3 different stories to be shared which happened to me in a day.

First, catching up with best friend by having even a short conversation with him is satisfying. Have you ever come across a situation where you feel that you have strong feelings for your best friend? Perhaps this experience might not happen on you but on the people around you. If you have, how would you react to this situation? Personally, I think relationship will be at its best when best friends remain as best friends forever. This is the optimum level of relationship. That’s why falling in love with best friends is a forbidden act for me. Is not that I’d purposely force myself not to love him/her, but I would avoid any situation that would induce this to happen. I feel that it’s easier to share openly with best friends and it’s happier spending time with them.

I started to learn swimming yesterday. It was really difficult. The fear of drowning and putting my head into the water is an obstacle. However, I managed to float. I think I need to overcome my fear first before I can really learn to swim. Anyway, it was a good experience and I was happy getting to soak myself in the swimming pool. Thanks to my patient friends who were willing to teach me. ^^

Last, I just came back from dance rehearsal. The performance is tomorrow night. Everytime when I get to perform, I’d be very excited. Even how hard the training was, I’m really happy. I’m wondering if I took the road not taken, what my life would be now? Or if I’m going to take the road not taken, what will my life be? Sometimes I’m really caught up with myself, my desire. I want to perform my very best in everything I do. But this requires time to develop and practice it. Sometimes I have to forgo something because of another thing. One thing that saddens me is that I’ve neglected song composing when I’m getting busy with academics and activities. How I wish I would have another song of my composition to be performed for everyone to listen.

No Limit!

I always thought I’m just a normal person (I’m still a normal person). I never thought that I actually can do something beyond my expectation. I’m referring to MIX challenge. MIX is a business challenge competition requiring us to solve real-life problem for Sunway Lagoon to sustain it’s customer loyalty.

At first, I have no intention to join because I thought I’m not that good and creative enough and any idea that comes out from my brain would be just a normal idea which everyone can think of.

But now I really appreciate my friend, Samm a lot for forcing encouraging me to join in the first place. So I got together with Katherine (another best friend of mine who was being “forced” by Samm to join), Sok Kim and Mooi Fong to form a team. We didn’t expect that we’d be able to make it to the final and that surprised us a lot when we received the news.

Top 8 teams were chosen among 28 participating teams. Since we made it to the final, we decided that we must do our best to win the cash prize (money is a motivation). Unfortunately, we didn’t win because our idea wasn’t greater than some other teams.

I’m a bit disappointed which I think is normal that every team that didn’t win would feel so. However, I’m very satisfied with it because it made me realize my true potential. The experience is really priceless.

Unconsciously, I always drew a line in everything I do, limiting myself only to that line. I never thought that I could actually exceed that line. I believe everyone has his/her true potential which is not discovered yet by him or herself. It really depends on your mind a lot. You can reach as far as you want if you are persistent enough and strongly believe in it. Again, this reminds me of Law of Attraction which I neglected sometimes.

Special Gift

When you look at these words, what comes to your mind?

A gift which you long for?

A gift that you never expected?

A gift from someone special?

Yesterday, I received a very special present from my best friend, Hwei. It’s actually a Christmas present. ^^ She bought something which she likes so much that she found joy in looking through its pages! I think by now you can guess what it is.

Bingo! It’s a lovely notebook. I love it! It’s so beautiful that every pages seem to have stories portrayed through its pictures.

I don’t think I could write any words in it because it’s just too beautiful to be filled up with my funny handwriting. Haha…

I gave her something that I like very much too and I knew she would love it! =)

P/S: We had our dinner together at my favourite mamak stall in KL – Nasi Lemak Ayam at Seapark. I miss it so much… Thanks, Hwei!

Insomnia

Gosh! I can’t sleep. Worried? Excited? Anxious? Happy? Sad? I don’t know. Anyway, I’m not going to write anything about insomnia.

Home Alone

So now I realized I really can't stand loneliness. My coursemates have finished their exams. I'm left with one more paper on this Thursday. My housemates are on holidays and left this house in the evening.


My housemates, Helen and Serene will finish their studies at the end of this month. They are now on study break before their finals. I guess today was the last time I met them. I hate this kind of feeling. It makes me feel like crying. The last time I have had this feeling was one year ago. When I have to say goodbyes to my ex-roommates, See Eng & Mun Chieng.

Sometimes it's just hard to leave although you know you have to. Saying goodbye is just not the word for me. But in life, we are actually living alone. Family and friends won't always be there. They come and then they go. Some might come and stay beside you for a while, and then they leave. Some might just walked passed you, not staying long. Some who are loyal, might stay beside you longer but one day, they will leave too.

Everything is just a matter of time. The family and friends you have around you are BONUS. This bonus is not eternal. So when you get it, appreciate it. When you don't get it, strive to achieve it. I'm not only saying physically their presence in your life. But include the relationship and bonding you have with them.

Well, I guess I just need to stand the moment of loneliness for a while. Then I will be back home soon to meet my family! ^^

In the midst of darkness, I see light.

Darkness = The atmosphere in UT house.

Light = Pharmacist roommate, Li Wen and nursing housemates, Helen & Serene.

Whether you can get along well with your friends or not, it does not depend on how long you knew each other, but how similar thoughts you have with each other.

I'm kinda sad because my nursing housemates are going to stay till end of December only. This means that the only person whom I can have a heart-to-heart talk will only left my pharmacist roommate.

If conditions allowed, I would rather shift. You might feel I'm not being tolerant or I'm giving up hope on them but it's not for these reasons.

I just want to preserve the friendship.

MadWorld


I went to watch a play at DUMC. It was a Christmas production. The performance was great! The singers and dancers were good! I think 80% of the story was performed through dances and songs. Little conversation. Though it was mostly occupied by dances and songs, you would understand the message that they were trying to bring out.

The crowd was huge. I think around more than 2000 people attended! It was held in an auditorium equipped with good lighting effects and sound systems. How good it would be if UM DTC has this kind of standard.

Back to the story, it depicts around 2 men. One who is rich and owns everything under his feet. The other one who is suffering from a natural disaster which caused him to be in poverty. It reflects on us, human beings who are being indulged with money and wealth so much that sometimes we lost ourselves, our souls.

The story didn't carry the message well as there was no specific climax or ending. I didn't feel touched by the story but I was amazed by the performance. If you've missed out, don't worry. There will be 2 more shows. Free admission! ^^

I went with my best friend (Tse Hwei) and managed to meet another best friend (Shae Lyn) of mine there whom I've not seen for quite long. We spent some time chatting and it was great hanging out with them! ^^ Just one girl was missing - Allie! I miss all of you... and the times we hang out together! We shall find some days and go for a trip together! ^^

The First Step

The story goes like this...


During exam period, most of us stayed at home to study and didn't go out to eat. So we produced lots of rubbish. It can piled up to many bags of rubbish and no one even bothers to bring them out of the house to throw into the dustbin. Of course I can't stand this situation even if it was just ONE bag full of rubbish.

But I waited. I wanted to see who would take the initial action to throw it. Even when most of them did step out of the house excluding me who has been prisoned in the house for 2 days, no one takes the action. In the end, I gave up. I planned to throw the rubbish after I came back home from exam. Ironically, I saw 2 of my nursing housemates threw the rubbish.

I felt delightful because at least some of them play their roles in maintaining the cleanliness of the house. But at the same time I felt ashamed of myself. Why do I need to wait for others to take the 1st step? Why not me who do it?

My pharmacist roommate and I get along quite well with my nursing housemates but my other roommates which are my coursemates too, don't get along well with them. After they threw the rubbish, they told me, "I think your roommates are not like girls, in fact you behave more like a girl rather than them."

Why do they said so? Usually I clean the house most of the time if you did follow my blog for the previous posts. My nursing housemates know it because they have eyes to see. Although my appearance looks like a boy, but my behaviour is not. I didn't know how to response but I was quite happy to hear it because it indicates that I'm a hygienic and responsible person.

It also shows that I'm a totally different person from my other roommates/coursemates. That's why I can get along well with friends from other streams including my housemates. In fact, I talk more with my pharmacist roommate and nursing housemates. I hardly talk to my room/course mates.

Again it all comes back to the world where I belong. I never like staying with my current coursemates because I know I have a gap with them. I'm so much different from them in terms of thinking, attitudes, behaviours and personality. I really didn't know how I ended up with them. Perhaps we do have some similarities but very little.

A lesson for myself today:
Take the first step.
Don't wait for others.
Forgive and forget.
Do more, expect less.
Be happy and make others happy! ^^

My heart is feeling heavy...

Sad.

When there is no tears to describe this.

When there is no words to explain this.

When there is no pictures to express this.

When there is no melody to rhyme this.

Duty Roaster

What is the purpose of it when no one is following?


When anything does not serve its purpose in life, it's useless.

Same goes to human. When anyone does not live to its purpose in life, one's life is meaningless!

I know complaining is not good but when I have no one to go to, here it is!

How can you stand living in a house with 11 people when only 1 person is keeping the house clean??!?!

I just don't understand why some people can be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not hygienic. How can they stand the dirtiness? Faint!!!

I believe family upbringing is very important here. I'm not trying to say their parents didn't brought them up well, but I think this is their family 'culture'. Some people are really messy. Some people don't care to clean their house. Some people are lazy. Some people are just being ignorant.

Maybe this house does not belong to them, that's why they wouldn't even care to keep this house clean and tidy. But come on!!! You are all going to stay here for at least 1 year.

A simple task like sweeping the floor after you've dirtied it, is it that hard??!?!

A simple task like wiping the gas stove after you've done cooking is it that hard?!?!

A simple task like mopping the floor when you only need to do it once a month according to the duty roaster, is it that hard?!?!

A simple task like empty the dustbin after it's full of rubbish, is it that hard?!?!?

If you can't even do any of these tasks, I can't imagine how your future house would be like. How can you even be a good housewife when you can't keep the house clean?!?!?! How can you be the role model to your kids when you can't even be a good example to them?!?!

No wonder this world is full of useless people!

Today...

... probably isn't a very good day for me. Certain things just don't seem to go well which makes my day blue...

Hope things will be better.

Oreo Ice-Cream Cheese Cake

For the first time in my life, I learnt to make cake!!! Haha... It's not that hard after all. My coming wish list is to learn making sushi and ice-cream! ^^


I went shopping alone just now. Sometimes it wasn't that bad at all to shop all by yourself. You have the utmost freedom to do whatever you like, go wherever you want and shop with the flow of your own timing!

But of course can't do this so often. Spent like nobody's business. =.=''
