Our reunion

Everyone is back from their respective college...We had a whale of time talking about our college life...Not much time to blog now...Gotta go...have lots and loads of assignments to do...I'll upload some of my college photos later...^^

Things about college life...

This is the DST Dewan Seri Temenggong..We have the weekly assembly here. See the logo up there?It's the school logo...(or whatever we call it)

Wow, this week's time is occupied by loads of homework and assignments...I'm just stealing half an hour's time to post something on my blog...Bad me...I'm quite sad to learn about the shortening of my August break because everyone in TESOL course is going to Kuala Lumpur for 10 days to have raptai for the Merdeka Day...We had to be back in Johor by 21st of Aug and are going to KL the next day....It's such a rush for me...

I seem to be having a bit of 'culture shock' here as we had to find every single information on the Internet and the resource centre to complete our assignments...The lecturers only brief us on it and just leave us to 'suffer'...But it is the process that teaches me to be independent and self-motivated...it's totally a different life from what i go through during my secondary school years...
The only minus point is the location of the resource center itself...I had to walk under scorching hot sun for at least 15 minutes(if i run) to reach it...It's near the hall which means it's more than 4km from my hostel too!XP

There were many activities planned for my TESOL course, we are going to Pulau Besar for an English Camp in October...there are much to catch up on studies then...Even now we are having night classes now and then...I have one tonight which starts at 8 and ends at 11pm!

Still I'm going outside the campus tomorrow to City Square to relax a bit after a long week...

Finally, i can blog....

This is during our orientation week, we had telematch...had to run all around the field....tiring...huh...



These are all the chinese in TESOL course...Yes, we have only five chinese...But there is going to be another intake next week so maybe the number of chinese will increase...




This is my first time blogging at my college. The strength of the wi-fi here is very weak...I tried a couple of times to log in but failed to do so...

Now, I'm just lucky for the time-being...haha...

College life is great but busy...During my first day I had a shocked when I found out that the hostel I had to move in is 4km away from the school hall just imagine that! Orientation week was quite a simple one...nothing special...but I did meet a few new friends though...Only did i realised that there are quite a number of terengganu-ites are here too... The campus covers a big area of land...My leg ached a lot during my first week here...because it's tiring to walk all the way to the school hall..but luckily my lecture room is near my hostel...It takes 5 minutes to walk there...We had to wear baju kurung for the first week only and now we can wear whatever we want as long as it is formal and the skirt must be below knee level... The food here is expensive, but still we have to cope with it...*sigh*

I just can't wait to go home at the moment ... i missed Terengganu and the food! But I'll be home soon...Yeah! our college holidays starts at the same time as the school holidays...

The Last of My Daily Post, the Starting of My Fortnightly Posts..

Look I drew these myself (by computer)...Hehe, it's quite an ugly one... The fishes symbolises my gang... The yellow one is me (haha, fat fish), orange one is Fefey, blue one is Pei Whey ( I draw you slim a bit, happy lar), Fang Yin is the green one, and Pui Juin the red one.... Everyone is taking different routes now... Totally scattered (but still in Malaysia)...

There are less than six hours before I start my journey... This will be my last daily post for now... I think I will be quite busy during the orientation week ( starting next Monday).... I was also quite doubtful whether there is any Wi-Fi at the Institute.... Maybe I can't online at all at the Institute during my one and the half years there....T-T...

All of you will always be in my mind and my heart.... And also, to every member of the Malaysia Student Forum members: discussing all the topics at the site is fun, it's my pleasure to meet all of you... Keep posting new threads there, there isn't any new threads there last two months... Good luck to all in your future undertakings (including those sitting for PMR, SPM and STPM) if you ever view my blog...

One More Day to Go....

In a wink of an eye, today is a Wednesday.... But unlike any other Wednesdays, today will be the last (not that I want to die lar...) one spent in Terengganu before taking off to Johor... Or even more specific, to Singapore first before going to the institute in Johor Bahru... What a pleasant surprise when I discover that mum and dad are bringing me to Singapore to visit our relatives for three days ( I have to report at the institute next Monday)...

Yeah, it had been a long time since I went to Singapore.... Missed Aunt Anne and Uncle Henry, Aunt Rosaline, my cousin nephew, Roaell and his sister, Pamela... And not forgetting Karuna the second ( I'm Karuna the first, hehehe...).... She should be in year two by now...

Going to Johor next Monday means that I'll miss the chance of eating dad's rambutans... Those yellow Gula Batu rambutans make my mouth water ( even when they are still green at the present).... Dad said that the tree will bear fruits twice this year....Why? Because on the other side of the tree, the flowers had just started to bloom, whereas the fruits had started to turn yellow on this side.... Oh my, to miss the ripe rambutans is very much regretted... *Sigh*....

Hopefully, I'll come back in time for the next rambutan season...

Looking Forward...

It was quite tiring getting ready for college life.... All those clothes, daily use, school stuff..... Many more things such as wash tubs, detergent will be bought when I arrive there... I'm looking forward to it but still a tiny voice in my heart keep saying " you will miss home very much..." Indeed I will, this is my first time living away from home for such a long period...

Hope that I will not change during my time spent in a different state... I'm aiming a CGPA of 4.00 too! Saw a friend leaving me a comment in Frienster today... She said that I am so lucky for not being in form six to struggle with them... But I think that every course you take has a certain degree of difficulties... The only thing that differs is the mind set we cultivate....For me even if I didn't get this scholarship. I'll take up the challenge of being in form six.... After all, I've survive five tough years in high school, why not continue to strive even more harder... Life goes on to become more meaningful as we strive on harder.... A life full of expectations is a life worth living....

I hope that everyone in this world will have an interesting life to look forward to.... Life is meaningless without the excitements, the challenges, the obstacles, the fond memories, the failures, the victories, the pain-staking moments.....

God made us, humans to feel every bittersweet moment of life....Let's cherish it!

Smokers Are Disguisting!

Mum didn't cook today... So, we ate out at a restaurant... Upon reaching the place, we found out that it was almost full with customers...There wasn't any table left at the corner which overlook the river... So, we had to sit at the table next to a table of elderly men (maybe in their late forties I assume)... After ordering for our food, we had expected the waiting part as there were many customers who had arrived earlier than us....

I was looking forward to my favourite dish of 'fish wrapped in lotus leaf', as this would be my last Chinese restaurant food before my departure.... Food had arrived at the next table where those men I'd mentioned were sitting...

Finally, all the dishes we ordered had been served before us.... My mouth was watering away as I looked at the steaming fish and at the same time sniffing at the aroma floating in the air.... All of a sudden, the sickening smell of lighted cigarettes floated by...That immediately decrease my craving for the food in front of me.... The irritating smoke came from the table where the elderly men were sitting.... They were taking a puff after their meal.... Those inconsiderate men puffed away as if they own the whole restaurant....

I was choking within five minutes as I can not stand the intoxicated air in the restaurant.... ( To tell you frankly, there is no window anywhere near my table where fresh air can circulate in the stuffy area.).... It was an unpleasant dinner....I was hoping that they could just leave the restaurant...After all, they had finished their meals.... No, they did not leave at all (even after my whole family had left)... I can see that they are heavy smokers by the way they lighted one after another of 'rokok'....

I did not enjoy the meal at all.... Every time I open my mouth to savour the tasty dishes, the smoke from the cigarettes flows into my mouth too... Yuckss.... I hurriedly gulped down my food, wanting to leave the place as soon as possible... I do not know how many litres of that carcinogenic smoke had I inhaled.... Damaging my lungs...

Stricter laws should be enforced by the governments to prevent smokers from smoking in closed areas especially in restaurants, coffee shops, mamak stalls where non-smokers have no where to escape from the dangerous chemicals given out even from just one cigarette... Please do not victimised non-smokers...we are innocent and are looking forward to a longer life span...
