Resultant of boredom

Saturday, 18 Oct 2014.

Raining since 330pm till now 730pm.
I'm so bored to the extend that I feel like going to collect all the fallen leaves to make compost, collect them and sell them LOL. yeah. yeah.

Compost.
Everyone is dumping their waste, leaves, kitchen waste, papers, cut grass, unwanted palm fibers, weeds. All those are treasure weih, to make compost. to grow awesome plant. Maybe I should propose this to my advisor? so that my uni can have a compost site? so that I can visit it whenever I feel bored? lol

Honestly, Kampar is becoming more and more like KL. starting to get sick of it. meh. I need more nature stuff.

These questions.

Was being asked twice by different group of guys in the span of 3 days these questions:

Group 1, course mates, 3 guys, chit chatting at straits quay

they were asking each other how many children they plan to have, then

A: how about you Lee Xiang? how many children u plan to have? have you thought of it?

Me: *silence*      no...

A: No as in? You didn't thought of it or don't plan to have children.

Me: Don't plan to have children.

Group 2, church friends, 3 guys, on the journey back

They were talking on the preference of children's gender, some say prefer girl, some say prefer boy, then

A: how about you Lee Xiang? have you thought of it? Do you prefer girl or boy? or neither any?

Me: Neither any.


Gosh, why is everyone asking me these questions? what time  of the month are these days? Days of asking whether do you want to have children? Is it because of the position of the moon or the position of the stars? Why is everyone asking me these question these days?!!! Heck!

堵了一口气

缺乏

何谓缺乏?
要知道
这世界上
很多人
除了缺乏爱及注意
还缺乏了自信心
自信不是来自于你拿你的强项
来贬低人家
要知道
世界比你强的人有很多
而你只不过是在这一项比较强
在这一刻你能扬眉吐气
你就在这一刻拼命地炫耀
拼命地强调了自己多么的强
你才觉得这生命你没白活了
挽回了你做人的尊严。

要知道
强的人
不是样样都行的人
因为世界上有很多这种人
强的人
是全部都从他身上拿走
他却还是很能撑得住
这种人  强。

贬低

何谓贬低?
彼此只不过是大学生
鼻子真的不需挺得那么高
的确 社会有它的阶层
但无论如何 一个人不能拥有贬低其他人的意识
就因那人的工作岗位
不是能说有意义的
也没能致富
也没能有前途

可是 要知道
那人也在服务社会
个人 有个人的资源
有些人 已经尽了他们的所能
 不能 看小他们
反要感激他们的付出

要知道
社会没欠你
你欠了社会。

价值

何谓价值?
价值是当你付出你的时间与精力
你觉得很满足 很开心
那件事 就值得了
不需再乎其他人的眼光
他是他 你是你
问自己
你开心吗?
那 就行了




堵了一口气
发泄完了
电池也要没了

Year 2 Sem 1

This post is to list down my epic-packed schedule for this semester. You see, in my uni, we are only allowed to take a maximum of 21 units per semester. But given strong reasons and approval of deputy dean, a student are allowed to take more than that. For me, I'm taking 22 units this semester. Gone through some hard time in getting the approval of deputy dean, I need to really convince her of why would she need to allow me to do so, so she asked me to plan it out and show her. And I did, and she gave me her approval, so happy about that. Due to my degree is a 3-year course, our schedule is really packed and left not much space for us to take anything else, compare to 4-year course that are able to take up to few foreign language till certain level. *jealous*
Oh, and the additional unit i applied is to add Thai language level 1. and this is my schedule:

Monday
0800-0850 Probability Theory
0900-0950 Macro Tutorial
1000-1050 Thai Language
1100-1250 Microeconomics I
1400-1550 Statistical Laboratory
1600-1650 Operational Research Laboratory

Tuesday
0800-0900 Hubungan Etnik ( I don't consider myself having this class, till now I haven't been to any)
1100-1250 Macroeconomics 1
1400-1500 Microeconomics Tutorial
1600-1650 Operational Research
1800-1900 Thai language

Wednesday
1000-1050 Probability Theory Tutorial
1100-1150 Operational Research
1400-1450 Probability Theory
1600-1650 Thai Language
1700-1850 Scientific and Medical English

Thursday
0800-0850 Probability Theory
1400-1450 Thai Language
1600-1650  Scientific and Medical English

Friday
0800-0850 Operational Research

As you can see, I have a lot of class that starts at 8am. *bangs wall*~~ The best motivation thus far to makes me go 8am class is to promise my friend to go breakfast together the day before. By doing that, I'm able to get myself out from my comfy bed of cold weather to go to a 8AM class! To motivate myself more, just. imagine. breakfast.

Also, I have Thai language class almost everyday, that is Monday to Thursday. I was really happy during my first class of Thai, like really happy, have not feel such pure happiness in some time. Till now, I still gladly goes to my Thai Class that is held at language school on our campus highest hill, those that burn thousands of calories by climbing up that hill, for it is a really steep path of climbing up if couldn't get on bus.


My Textbook


The latest page that I was learning.



I have long days on Monday till Wednesday. I can feel that I'm pretty much drained by Wednesday evening, but thus far still feeling alright because I often nap whenever I'm free, since there is nothing much to study yet. My nap can goes up to 3-4 hours, for sleep is a blessing I told myself to cherish.

Above is my academic schedule only, not including activities that I join. For this semester, I'm not joining AIESEC, but still be joining fencing club, holding the position of treasurer (there's very little people in this club only, like maximum also less than 15, quite confirm a person will get a post with no chances of saying no.) Other than that, I'm joining English debate club also for this semester.

Before getting know the junior, I was pretty excited, now that I know them, I'm not anymore. And the reason why? They are very realistic. And very kiasu. And some maybe arrogant too. There are 11 of them only for this year batch (the chinese), 5 of them are Penang people, 1 Subang,  that's make only 5 people from outstation/not city. And you know what? I don't like Penang people, some of them have this mentality that they think they came from the best city of the world, literally. They are really proud of their city, and themselves sometimes. One year I'm here, I'm bored with this "city" already, need not to be so proud kay? Unlike my batch, there are 16 of us, not even one of us is from Penang, 5 of us from KL, and the KL ones are realistic. Other than that, we have 4 from Johor, and others from Taiping, Cameron Highland, Melacca, Klang, Sungai Petani, Alor Setar. And I love these people from small town. They are very selfless and kind. And I think those are very good attributes.

And I guess that's all for now, spent like one hour to blog this. Cheers!




Ending this post with a picture of my hostel. From this pic, we can only see two blocks, that is Tekun guys block on the left, and girls one on the right. There are actually 4 more blocks behind, up on the hill, Saujana and Restu. Those are the ones that can feel themselves living in Genting due to the heavy mist in the early morning in this rainy season.













Even as we grow older, and know the cruel of this world, don't lose the little bit of innocence in ourselves, grab hold of it.

Uni life, Year 1 Sem 2

Plain awesome. Its always been awesome, from the beginning of semester 1 till now, I'm pretty much enjoying and embracing each and everyday of uni life. So much so that during my first semester, I feel grateful when I'm stepping on USM campus ground. Yup, till that extent I like my uni. Been longing to blog but just not willing to spend that few hours of typing. Felt a bit waste of time. Sincerely hoping that I don't take up too much time blogging this too. Giving myself a 30 mins time frame.

Am currently stepping into my one-week of study week, decided not to go back home for the reason I don't think I can be that focus when studying at home, too much distraction and much higher self-discipline required. Subjects I'm taking this semester:

-Advanced Calculus
-Applied Statistical Method
-Linear Algebra
-Development Economics
-Malaysian Economics
-Tamadun Islam dan Tamadun Asia

The subject I struggle the most? Linear Algebra. Seriously, they says, don't judge a book by its cover, trust me, don't judge a subject by it's title. Don't think it has the word "linear", is not hard. Is freaking damn hard. If anyone one of you thinks that matrix is easy, try taking university linear algebra. It brings you to a whole new world of matrix that is so abstract. Try solving 5x5 matrix,. Try making sense of vectors and its rules in 3D spaces. In fact, it is not even restricted to any dimension, it can be 4D, 5D and so on. Theorems and corollary that comes with it, damn a lot. The 600++ page of text book for it, I don't even understand a quarter of it I think. Most of the students fail this subject and less than a handful gets an A. ==

Ok, around 10 mins left, what else should I write? Hmm. Let see, what I'm anticipating now is my 10 weeks summer break, Holidays~ Please come to me as soon as possible. After the holiday ends, a new batch of junior gonna be in, and I'll become senior, nice! For most of the courses including my course, we have the direct senior-junior culture, so it's quite nice if you get a good one. Senior will bring the junior out for trips, makan etc, but the main purpose is so that junior can inherit senior's notes, textbook, materials etc, and ask them if there is any problem. Nice, though I didn't get a good direct senior, but I'm thankful for another senior that given me her stuff. Super helpful for studies.

Alright, I guess that's all for now, as I really don't wanna spend too much time blogging, and 30 mins time frame is up. Cheers.

Recap: What I did in 2013

Yup, a recap, just how the title puts it. One year has been gone, gonna be a reflection post upon what have I did the past year. Not sure if I could remember much, but I should at least try. 


January Took a lone trip to SG on 4th-6th jan. Suppose to be a good trip with my dear, but lost my wallet on Christmas day, causing a lost of more than 400 bucks cash, and screwed up my plan. Was very angry, make a last minute decision to go ahead anyway to ease my anger a little. Staying back could have driven me mad. Enjoyed my time there visiting museums, and the time spent with Gloria and my cousin brother was good. My cousin is a quiet person most of the time, but having spent the whole day with him, I get to know him better, and find that he's really a nice person. Haha, not that he weren't nice before this kay? Just that he's really quiet during family gatherings, so din get to know him much. The day I came back home from SG, is the day I started to work at One Gift Gallery (aka the hamper company). Guess I shall not put so much words into this for now, not a good experience anyway. It was just plain "working-like-cow-days" to get money. As simple as that. 

February Ended my work on 2nd February. CNY celebrations. Went Bangkok from 28th Feb till 5th March with my mom. That was a nice trip, still in love with Thailand till now. Should make another trip there this year. 

March-May STPM result was out on 18th March, I started working as teacher on 19th March at my primary school. It was a good experience, given another chance, I would go back again, only for becoming temporal teacher, not permanent though. 

June-July Started working at the hamper company again for the Raya season. 

August Pretty much just chilling around I guess.  *as I didn't see any events on my planner*

September-now Started my first semester of uni life in USM, Penang from 1st of September.

*Sharks* Why was January the longest post? I din expect it to be like this, is just that some I have previously written post about it, like Thailand trip and experience as teacher, so need not to repeat it again. As for my uni life, that should be another blog post. Aiks.



Cheers. All in all, 2013 have been good except for the hike of price. =)
