Finally AS Over

It's been quite a while since my last update

Was quite busy studying and revising for As examination

This long-long exam period was indeed torturing and suffering

But

THANK GOD

Finally

I am done with it!!

Chinese New Year VS Mid-Sem Exam

Mid-Sem Exam is here in less than one week

Chinese New Year is here in two weeks time

Well

I am having mixed feeling now

Happy·Excited

Stressful·Fearful

But definitely

I just don't care much about the Mid-Sem Exam this time

Meeting up family and friends

Celebrating once-in-a-year Chinese New Year is far more important

And I am in new-year mood now

Woots

All the best to all of my fellow collegemates in the coming exam

&

Let's prepare our hearts for

CHINESE NEW YEAR

Exams Over, Holidays Come

The day everyone anticipated for finally arrive

Going through 7 papers in 5 days

Was just too torturing and stressed out

Finally today's last!

Staying for almost 4 months in KL

Reminds me on how much i miss Kuching

My home

My bed

My TV

Seriously,

Missing every single tiny little bits back in Kuching

My Family

&

My Friends

I really miss you guys a lot!

In 3 more hours

I will be boarding Air Asia Wings

Flying all the way back to Kuching

Woo~Hoo~

KUCHING

HERE I COME!

周末？

期待的星期五

却是如此百无聊赖

脑袋里有着数不完的计划

但真正想实践的

却没去实行

咻

星期五

就在

聆听超级星光大道选手们美妙歌声中

观看让人笑破肚皮、综艺界天王吴宗宪的节目

与友人闲聊与笑声中

不知不觉地飞逝

星期六

对我而言

只有二字可形容

玩·乐

逃离已熟悉的宿舍

到学堂外的大都闯闯

奢望能与友人闯出 不一样的快感

打破以往对星期六的印象

玩得比开心还来得开心

玩得比快乐还要快乐

悲喜交叉

令人矛盾的星期日来咯

悲

它暗示着星期一的到来

代表玩乐的停止

喜

搭上巴士

千里迢迢

到幼·少·老一同聚集

伟大上帝的家中

一同崇拜万王之王

万主之主

洗净弟兄姐妹杂乱的思绪

更新你我的里里外外

把所有的烦恼抛开

晚间打开笔记电脑

玩玩脸书

与友人交流交流

时间就这样一分一秒消失了

星期日的离去

乃星期一的到来

它带着“亲切”的笑容

一步步地向我逼近

无奈的我

只好收拾嬉戏之心情

关上笔记电脑

无奈的欢迎它的莅临

星期五·星期六·星期日·星期一

期待·玩乐·矛盾·无奈

参杂的心情

这就是周末给我的印象

Where's My Study Mood?

Recently

I am getting lazier and lazier

I just don't know why

When i open up my books

I feel like sleeping

I am not as hardworking as before and it makes me so frustrated

I feel like giving up

But thanks a lot to my friends

Who give me moral supports

and make me stand strong

I will try my best starting tomorrow

LAZINESS

Get Out Of My Way!

I am gonna pull my socks up high tomorrow

Stress

Exams are just around the corner

And i was so stressed out

Worrying that i might not be able to complete my syllabus in time

Unlike secondary school

A-level is far more different

It's not enough if you just get to memorise all the facts in the textbooks

Instead we have to do more exercises and look into the past year papers

College is more to applying your knowledge

instead of memorising

And we have to know how to apply our knowledge all in our exam papers

I pray that i can try my best

&

I know i can do it

Good Luck to all my friends

God Bless Us

Hey

All my kuching friends and i

Hey Dad, Mom, Aunties, all my siblings and relatives

and of course all my readers

I am fine over here and

it had been a long time i didn't update all of you about my conditions and life over here

Well

Life's going on normally and smoothly everyday

Having class early in the morning till late afternoon everyday except friday

and that's quite tiring

however i have used to it already

One and a half months i have been here

I learnt and experienced a lot of new things

I learnt how to have proper time management

Unlike last time when i was at home

My aunt and mom used to wake me up for school

but now i have to wake up myself

but sure it's not by myself but an alarm clock wakes me up everyday

I have grown up

and be more independent and more responsible in everything i do now

Washing and ironing my own clothes

Cleaning and tidying the room

all by myself

I just realised how difficult it was

and it was not as easy as we think

There are no one else helping out for me

Facing the ups and downs myself

i became more capable in managing my own stuffs

Thanks God for sending me here

to learn new stuff

and to know how much my family loves me

&

I really miss them a lot

But well

i enjoy my life over here

and

IT'S AWESOME!

再一次

再一次掉下男儿泪

一幕幕难以忘记的回忆

一张张熟悉的脸孔

霎时从脑海闪过

离乡背井

来到这儿求学深造

让我更加珍惜每一个

人·事·物

感谢主把我带到这儿

不管心灵上

性格上都让我跨进一大步

使我成长许多

与家人朋友相隔遥远

但心与心仍如此贴近

来到这里

我才发现过去从没好好倾听家人朋友的心

好好珍惜及表现对他们的爱与惜

再次感谢主

感谢你给我的所有所有

愿主你能让

远在猫城的

家人

朋友

能健康

能快乐

Better This Time

My apartment got some improvements and it was much more better now than what it used to be like last week. Here are some of the improvements:

For saving more space and to prevent "bad-looking" view, we bought a shoes rack for putting and arranging our shoes and slippers. It was tidier now compared to what it used to be like last time.

I also bought a book rack for putting all my books. It costs me RM40 and now i can arrange my books properly. And one more thing, it's not easy to fix all the bits and pieces of the book rack together and i learnt how to do it this time.

Nothing much about this part but we arranged everything nicely. At least, there were some improvements.

Look at the picture i posted last time. My clothes were hanging on the cupboard and it was very messy. This time, i had bought some clothes "wall- hangers". And now i can hang everything on the "hangers" and it seemed neater now.

I bought an extension for myself. It's more convenient for me now as i no need to charge my phone outside my bedroom, but now i can. Yesh!!

Clean and tidy right?!

We bought a steel bar-shaped hanger and fix it on the wall for us to hang our clothes while we were bathing. We also bought a water heater and yea, we can bath using warm water now.

Yea... This was where we dry our clothes... The balcony...

Generally, our apartment is much more better than before. If you compare these few pictures to the previous one, you will definitely notice some obvious changes and improvements.

THANKS GOD I HAD A NICE APARTMENT NOW

Stress

The first few days of study make me so stressful

Each and everyone of us were studying so hard

as if exams were coming up the next day

Including me too

I also got fed up with all those books

Biology

Chemistry

&

Physics

I hope i can try my best

and i will pray hard for you all

All the best!

First Week In Kolej Teknologi Timur

The very first day I arrived KTT, I was like “Wao! Is this the place where I gonna study?”. The very first impression KTT gave me was the college was just very very small. It was composed of only two rows of shophouses and I didn’t know this small place can become a college. After registration and with the key of my apartment, I walked all my way to my apartment. Here’s how’s my apartment looked like:

My apartment -9-1-A4

The living room

My room

My bed

The so-called kitchen

Toilet... A bit dirty though...

My study table

The view outside my apartment

I had a Sibuan, a Kedahan and a Sabahan housemates and I lived in the same room with the Sibuan.

We had orientation for the first week and only one word can describe the orientation- TIRING. It was really tiring. Ice-breaking games, aerobics, briefings and performance competition were held each and every day. Basically, these were what we did for the whole week. It was tough, but when compared to Labuan’s Matriculation Programme. KTT’s was far more better.

Throughout this week, I also managed to join a few societies and the one that I loved the most was Christian Fellowship Society. It was really fun and enjoyable and I loved the meetings organized each time a lot. Edmund and Sin Chien did joined too. What I felt happy about was Sin Chien finally had her very first step in knowing more about Jesus. And I hoped she would finally accept God into her heart. I was very sure she will one day. Hopefully!

After attending church mass on Sunday, we visited KL City and had the chance to go to Mid Valley using commuter. It took us a half an hour journey to reach Mid Valley. It was my first time been there. It was crowded with people maybe because it was sunday. We had fun over there!!

Overall, KTT was not that bad too. It’s an awesome place to study and all of the seniors here were willing to help whenever we faced difficulties and problems. They taught us a lot about KTT. How to go Giant Mall… How to go to the church…How to go Pizza hut and KFC… and lots of stuff in study or matters in life. I really appreciated all the advices they gave us a lot and I was grateful they are my seniors. Thanks God!

That’s what I felt and noticed for the very first week and I hoped I can venture more about KTT in the next few weeks.

Happy at the same time Sad

Yesterday was the day everyone was anticipating for as the JPA Scholarship result was released. The cyber café over here was crowded with people and most of them were Chinese. Some of the JPA scholarship applicants were disappointed (from their facial expression) whereas some of them were so delighted when they were offered the scholarship. The atmosphere was getting nervous. When it was my turn, after typing my IC number and password, I waited patiently, at the same time telling myself “It’s ok if I didn’t get it, God will lead me to the right way. Calm down…”The page finally appeared and I was like Yesh!! Thanks GOD. I was really happy at that time and called my parents to tell them about the good news.

It’s my friends’ turn to check their result. All of them were hoping for the best. But unfortunately, they didn’t get the scholarship. I was like speechless at that time as I didn’t know the right words to use in order to comfort them. They were really disappointed about it. Some of them cried out and some of them was shocked when the page appeared in front of their eyes. I felt sorry for them too and I felt sad that I couldn’t be with them in this college anymore.

What I can say is…. God will definitely brings you to the right path and He has reasons in every things he has done for us.

Life In Labuan Matriculation College( First Week)

Well, at first when I first stepped into the Kolej Matrikulasi Labuan (KML), I was like “Wao!”. There were a lot of people especially Malay students and students with different ethnics. Besides that, KML was much more better than what I expected. Before coming to KML, I was thinking of how worst the college will be and I never think of the good side of this college. However, after visiting the college around with my friends , I realized that this college was not that bad as what I used to think of coming here. The college was very big. For me, just imagine how big it should be to accommodate all the 3000 students here. And secondary school was just a small tiny, little part of KML.

Many of my friends and the ex-students did tell me that the college was not that good and everything was in bad condition as well as, the students here suffered a lot and faced with several problems like water shortage, no internet service, the bad weather and the worst condition of the hostel.

For the water shortage problem (that I worried the most), luckily for me here, I did not face with that situation. For the block where my room was located, we did not face water shortage problem. The water was very very enough . Furthermore, my washroom did have showers. Thanks God!! But the other blocks where my friends used to stay in were not that lucky. Some of them had to bath in an open-public space and the water was very very dirty, leading to skin allergy. And for the girls blocks, they faced extremely worst water shortage problem. They had to fill their pail with water before bathing unlike guys who went straight away to the bathroom, turned on the shower and straight bath. And there was only water supply during 4 to 6 in the evening for the girls. That’s bad.

Besides, we could not access the internet here too. That’s made me feel really sad about it. Miss the time where I chat and skype with my friends, facebooking and blogging. My friends and I even went around the school hunting and searching for the line. Even celcom broadband can’t work. Damn! The only two places that students can access the net are the library and the cyber café. I used to go to the cyber cafe but that’s not cheap. It was RM2 for an hour and it was very expensive. For the library, it was free but it was only opened starting from the 1^st of June.

The weather here is in extreme super- hot condition in the morning and in the afternoon, starting from 10 morning till 4 in the afternoon. Gradually, I used to the weather here and it’s not a big problem for me.

Lastly, the hostel condition. For my room here, it’s not that bad. Each room can fit in 4 person and I was the only Chinese in the room. However, those Malays and Bumis were friendly. For the facilities in the room, everyone had a single bed, a study desk, a book rack, and a big steel cupboard for us to put our clothes and belongings in it. And i was quite satisfied with my room.

For the first week in KML, we had orientation and it was really tough. The programmes scheduled every day were packed and we could hardly gasp. It started from 4.30 morning till 11.30 at night. We had lectures, games and the main objective of this week is to know more about the school and to make new friends besides mixing with the others around. Imagine we had to wake up at 3.30 in the morning to take our bath and we were allowed to go back to our hostel the earliest is 11.30 at night. Punishments were given for those who were not punctual. For the first day and second day, everyone was still energetic, but after that you could see more and more people sleeping inside the hall during lectures and I was one of them. =) We did watch a movie together in the hall which was Ice Age 3. That’s cool.

As for in the weekend (yesterday and today), I had outings with my friends. On Saturday, my friends and I visited the only one and yet the largest shopping mall in Labuan. It was as big as half of the Spring. It was quite small though. The only thing that attracted my attention was the duty-free shop. Imported chocolates, electrical goods and alcohol were cheap here. I will definitely grab some chocolates home during holidays! There were grocery shops everywhere but they were small (like Ting & Ting in Kuching).

And for today, I joined my friends to church. And after that, we went to have pork rice and yesh! I finally had the chance to eat pork- my favourite BBQ 3 layered pork meat and char sio rice. Then, we went strolling around again.

These are some random pictures i took in KML:

That’s a brief intro about my life here in KML. If I don’t get JPA scholarship, I will not feel disappointed anymore as KML is not that bad. Besides the facilities, one of the news from the lecturers is that KML is recently recognized by the whole world and we have the chance to apply for JPA scholarship again and we can go abroad to study. I just hope for the very best.

Overall, it’s a good college I can said and I am fine here everyone!!

一个人的旅行

眨眼间
明天将是我离开猫城的时候了
相信届时的我

心情必然沉重
相当的不舍得

呱呱落地
从小就在爸爸妈妈姑姑的陪同、教育下慢慢成长
同一个屋檐下18年了
难免暂时离开会非常不舍得
这‘暂时’虽只是短暂的一年
但对我而言却好比十年

人就是这样矛盾
有的时候不珍惜
失去了却感到遗憾
友人常问起
“你会不舍得吗？”
其实最不舍得的除了家人
再来就是所有仍在猫城的朋友
高中同班的好友们
大家一起加油！

舍得
这二字除了我们大家都知道的意思
经由一本书
却让我了解
当二字间有个蹲点

舍·得

告诉了我

有所舍
才会有所得
这更深的见解

离别虽然不舍
不过将是我独立的开始
邦耀
忍住泪水
勇敢地走下去

该是转弯的时候

到了交叉路口
终于心里有个底

告诉自己

该是转弯的时候

载下张机票

5月9日

将是我离开猫城

到一个对我而言非常遥远

的土地上

自我学习

自我争取

陌生的环境

陌生的朋友

以后的以后

得暂时离开家里

即时再坚强

还是落下泪水

盼望的并不多

只希望家里的大大小小

仍在猫城求学的朋友

能

快乐

开心

健康

Bye SPM- Hello MY BLOG

Yes!! Finally and indeed it was my last of the last exam i sat for in my secondary school.I guess you know it? Haha.. You are right. It's SPM- SIJIL PELAJARAN MALAYSIA.I was extremely delighted as i finished my very last word of my Chinese essay yesterday.My heart was pumping very hard and i can just feel the word 'freedom' floating around me. Upon reaching home, i just threw my bag and going insane, playing with my siblings, humming the tunes of the day. And the very first thing i did was switching on my laptop and path all my way into Facebook to pay him a visit, viewing my friends' blog and of course listening to some melody. However, when time past, the 'high' feel gradually left me. I have nothing much to do besides facing the screen of my laptop. All i can say is boring! At this moment, i have a thought popping up my mind, I PREFER STUDY, EXAM, SCHOOL LIFE rather than DOING NOTHING OR INDEED SOMETHING BORING AT HOME and because of this i came out with my own blog. It's a simple one and hope all of you like it. Enjoy reading.
