New University Life in UTAR Setapak Updates

1. I'm having the 1st year of Chemical Engineering in UTAR Setapak right now! ^_^ Excited! 
2. I prefer this university campus compared to UTAR in PJ. This campus really looked like a REAL university and has the good ambience for study. What I like is, after parking my car in front of the school gate, I have to spend 10 minutes walking to the school campus. There's fresh air along the road as the jungle is besides you, especially in the early morning. Moreover, exercising everyday makes me not that stupid in my uni life.
3. The food in Setapak is weird but cheap for me. The price range is from RM3.50 to RM5.50 each dish. But I miss UTAR PJ chicken rice so much as the chicken rice here smells like cockroach. (yuck!)
4. I have been crying all these day because of the terrible condition of my hostel. It's an ultimate dirty package for dirty university student which RM250 includes all the :

• Ants and worms in the kitchen sink due to the misplaced-rubbishes. (There's actually 2 dustbin there.)
• Accumulated dropped hair on the toilet floor. Thus, wearing slippers when going into the toilet is a must for me.
• Smelly air for you as all the house mates collect their dirty shirts in front of the washing machine. And it seems they take a decade to complete the washing task.
• A room which is smaller than my house's toilet, very hot(stuffy), and looked like a prison. 

But I'm so happy cause I'm moving out from that room! ^_^

I will be rather stuck in the MRR2 traffic jam till die than staying in that prison everyday instead. 

So that my life is back to normal, which I can share the laughter with my beloved families and spend my times with piano. 

Just let me survive this week

Praying hard this week will end up faster.  So, exam will not that suffer.
I just need to survive above GPA 3.9 PLEASE.

After exam, I'm planning to:

• Go get a bracelet
• Find job, earn money
• Buy myself a mask : ) 
• Don't touch anything related to academic matters. 
• Play a new piano song. Probably: summer by joe hishashi, or the First Love, or both : ) 

Hope you guys have a great week. 

Good luck. 

Uni life lately...

1. My car got bumped by an super idiot on the Federal Highway. Fortunately, it didn't hurt that much.

2. There are too much things to do in a limited time. I have a loads of book and sheets to read, a pile of tutorials to do, and some reports to finish. Besides that, I have a plenty of revisions to do. T.T so bad.

3. So sad to say that I totally can't remember new friends' names. Ha ha ha... just call them gay lou, etc...

4. I met a great lecturer who's so cin-cai... even in his appearance... untidy clothes, dirty shoes,messy hair and anything you can imagine. I love how he teaches us, just don't follow the rules strictly and keep creative always. In the other hand, there's another lecturer who's teaching us in the completely opposite way. She write all things and read them out loud like teaching kindergarten students. So, the class was suffering, for me and the one who sat beside me. But actually she's considered a good and responsible teacher, but the way she teach just get us bored and insane. Yup, I dare to admit that I pull my hair like crazy in the class.

5. I bought 3 books which cost up to RM200. Heart-ached. And actually I'm finding a backpack too, because the side-carried bag is too troublesome for me, eventually it can't hold heavy text books. Financial problem again, OMG.

Hope you have a great study week, let's go hard with uni life. Good Luck.

Recent Uni Life update

First thing to say, the computer system in UTAR is so "state-of-the-art".
They totally can drive me nut when it had to restart all over and over again.

Second point, I parked my car a thousand mile away from the campus these days. It's not a good thing to wake up earlier than birds at 5am. And it has been terrible a experience to start driving from 5.30am along the roads which don't have street lights at all. In another case, if I start driving when the sun rises, I would be facing the massive traffic congestion at Batu11, Batu 9 (severe), Connaught Highway, Midvalley (insane) and lastly the Federal Highway. So, life has been hard these days.

Thirdly, for sure I met new friends in university. The stupid "Introduce Yourself" session was time wasting and I think everyone hates it so much. However, via introducing ourselves, I found that there's a lot of guys selecting Actuarial Science as their degree in the coming years, and there's only 2 girls, including me. Some boys are smart, and I think I'm chicken. Their English is good, proficient, fluent and I don't feel confident in myself to study with these genius in the next 3 years.

Lastly, I have no money to buy books. And do university students do notes? I'm saw some of them doing notes so hard just as my old friends who did amazing job on their notes with a lot of colors and so-what-systems.
So, anyone can answer me?

My students

It's so bad to say that I only teach cute children. Who's not cute enough has to pay extra fees. Ha ha ha...

But basically, all the kids are adorable.

We not only learn music in class, there are still a lot of teaching like

• Which is your left and and which is you right hand?
• Who is boy and who is girl (This is totally insane)
• What's that color.
• Basic movement like grabbing ball, jumping, turning round ... etc
• cooperation and interaction with each other.

Sometimes I give chances to my students to teach each other. I'm glad that they are not shy at all in anything, just anything and this characteristic made the lesson more fun. 

To be honest, I prefer teaching kids range from 4 years old to 7 years old. They can get what you mean incredibly fast just like a sponge absorbing water. For them, playing games while learning is the best part. Sometimes, they are so easy to be motivated by little rewards such as stickers, erasers, pencil and so on. These little rewards are so powerful to attract them to play well and most important, keep quiet.(They are noisy, you know) But I don't reward them much as they will not appreciated it so much later. 

I enjoy teaching them so much. =D 

I only know how to sing the Last Sentence

Finally I know what "Mass Call" is and how guilty I am for attending this activity today. It's totally time wasting!
Okay, let's talk about the school song of UTAR.
We have to pretend we know singing UTAR Song in front of the Dato in the official ceremony. Everyone's standing and blocking my vision in the same time. I can't see the words on the screen displayed. So what I did was just mumbling... until the last sentence, this is the word only I can sing it clearly :"UTAR~~~~~~~~~" ... yup.... made it long.
It was so funny to do that.

But it's a little bit, just a little bit worth attending.
Let me give some good points I did remembered from their speech. (I don't usually listen to speech, it's depends on my mood)

"Be a problem solver, not a problem creator"

"What made you smart doesn't really made you a wise person"

"When a girl said nothing, IT MEANS SOMETHING"

Well, I love the third. I'm a girl too. It's REAL.




After sitting too much in the hall, I went exercise in Mid Valley. This was the first time I drove to Mid Valley. Yes, by myself and I'm kinda proud of myself. It was so lucky that I didn't turn into the wrong way. Otherwise I will not writing blog now.

It has been a long time I didn't came here, it does changed a lot. MPH bookstore was gone and being replaced by UNIQLO. There's Forever 21 and Sticky coming soon while Mango and Zara shops are renewed.

I'm so lucky to meet a load of mickeys in Mid Valley today. They really made the shopping mall colorful. And yet, I'm extremely fortunate to pass by UNIQLO and I found that there is a BIG sale . So, thrifting was my best job. In the end, I'm proud to say that I bought myself a RM40 shirts by RM20 using my hard-earn money. It's the first time I buy myself a shirt. (Usually I wore free shirts from Padini which I have priority to take it as free). *secret*

Sharing some financial education I read in Borders today.

"Money is not everything in life, but it affects everything important in life"  

Yes, everything important such as cars, education, places to live, food and health need money.

"Everyone's facing financial problem"

The poor:" I don't have enough money"
The rich:" I have too much money, how can I invest?"
For sure I prefer the rich's problem. But what I can do now for my 18 is get myself survive in the Money Game.

Have a nice day. Good luck.

Utarians' Orientation

I'm home today! Yeah. Just because today's the ice breaking day which I'm not registered.
Okay, let's talk about yesterday.
Everything seems good except the hall.
The hall is a half smaller than Yu Hua's hall. And there's 500 new candidates being squeezed like tuna in it. Feel  very uncomfortable.
Yup, I did make friends. There's a Sabah cute guy who called "Mak" which means "mama" in Malay.
And then I met Yu Hua's friends there. I think there's quite lot of Yu Hua graduates there. Around 13 or 14, maybe.
Unfortunately, I met a mean girl who's in my February group. Yes, we are divided based on our birthday month. This girl really made my university life a great start, which starting deal with this type of annoying and mean people. And finally, I did great job cooperating with her by keeping silent for 2 hour. She don't accept other's idea and just saying bad words about it. I forgive her, I'm good.
That was a good and tiring day.
Great.

Saturday Night

I should be so busy at this time. 

But I just want to have the last time for some relaxing before the school open.

My schedule would be FULL, after tomorrow, and life would be colorful.

I'm excited. I think it will not be a good sleep tonight. 

I love busy life. 

I work hard, play hard. 

So, wish me good luck tomorrow. =D 

Let's set the fire! Yoooo~

Is Actuarial Science my cup of TEA?

It has been hard time for the eighteens to think about their future in these few months. When we talk about future,

Psychologist would said :" Just follow your heart and let your talent shines in the field that you're interested in." 

Our parents(Mostly the Asian) would said :" You either start working or studying now, if you're going to study, you must be the doctor, lawyer, CEO or any big bucks after studying, just don't waste my money." 

My relatives think :" You're good in studying (maybe not working?), why don't you continue studying and get a great certificate in the future. It's all about certificate and money after eighteens.

And I think :"Just fuck it off, I love piano. But Malaysia's piano/music education is totally sucks compared to UK and US."

But, recently I found that there's a job called "Actuary" and it's ranked the best job in the past few years. Besides that, the global markets demand a ton of actuaries in the future. So, it has great job opportunities. 

So I decided to choose this as my future career as: 

1. My maths is quiet okay. I usually didn't jot down notes those given by teachers in secondary school and I found that I can catch up pretty fast with teacher. This should be an advantage in actuarial science as it needs good math skill and understanding. Hope it will help =D  
2. I love expecting and planning since I was so young. I remembered when I was in primary, I always love to calculate how much I have to save my pocket money everyday to a certain amount in the next year and how could I spend it wisely. So clever right? Ha ha, and I used to plan some "unprofessional saving plan" for my families when young but they kindly rejected it as it was still a kid's stuff. Got talent right? Blah...
3. According to the actuaries nowadays, they said to be an actuary, what we should do is study, work, work and study. And mostly, the study time is insane so we will be always alone and become not sociable enough. So I think this REALLY SUIT ME as I loved to let myself studying alone in a locked room since I was in primary school. To be honest, I always love to be alone. Ha ha ha...
4. Actually I'm not that interested in the salary because basically money is not a big matter for me. It's just a "medium" for us to exchange some product or service. Why we need it so much? So, the high salary paid for actuary literally not attractive to me. =D 

I will be an UTARians...

Oh Hi, it's 29 March and I think some of my friends who take A-level course will be back to their school life very soon! But I'm glad to say that I still have a lot of time spending at home, shopping or working until I start my Foundation in Science in late May. Literallly it's start from June because it's 28 May.


Ops, I almost forget to mention that I will be driving to and fro UTAR at Petaling Jaya everyday.
Things those come to mind when we saw the words "Petaling Jaya":

Traffic Jam

And so, I can't imagine how my life would be after 2 months. God bless me... Amithaba... Insya Allah...
Sorry, I'm a poly religion.


And why am I want to take Foundation in Science?

1. I hate A-level. I hate anything begins with a, such as Alan, Ali, Abu, Ahmad, Alibaba...
2. I want to be an actuary. How brave am I! 
3. I can go to degree in Acturial Science in a year with Foundation instead of two year with A-level.
4. I'm not willing to go to TAR College at Setapak (too far) and live in the prison accommodation there. Yes, I'm picky. If you free me a five-star accommodation for 4 years there, then I will TRY TO consider.
5. I'm proud to say that I study in an university rather than study in a college. Ho Ho Ho Ho...

Why UTAR?

1. 100% full waiver scholarships. Actually it's just RM7,500.
2. I just have to pay RM 61 for registration and application fees instead of RM 750 for registration af Taylor or Sunway University.
3. For my information, UTAR ( university)'s lecturers are more professional than TAR College (college)'s lecturers. 
4. Besides the damn government universities: UM and UPM (that means I have to go Form 6), UTAR is a better choice than UCSI (expensive).
5. According to my survey, a lot of people know UTAR more than others. Especially the elder, they would say:" Oh... 拉曼大学是不是?" That means UTAR is well known. Ha ha ha...
6. I just have to pay RM 1009 every year study in UTAR. This include exam fees, lab fees and any miscellaneous fees.

What made me mad for class opening in late May:

1. I want a job.
2. The 1 Malaysia RM200 Book Voucher can't be used anymore. DAMN! 

Last but not least, I would like to know which college/university do you take and which path do you choose in order to fulfill your dream/ambition. Any criticisms and comments are welcomed. 

The Last Day at Kindergarten

After the announcement of the SPM result, everybody is busying discussing and talking about what and where to study. Basically, I'm not willing to find a college to study because I'm lazy (as you know). My boss said that I should continue to study so scholarships provided all around are not wasted. So then she gave me some times to find a great college that really suit my ambition well (actually I don't have ambition). 

So I took my camera to kindergarten, capture anything that would be my memories.

 Kakak sweeping the floor as usual. 

She's really hardworking and lovely. 

I'm so grateful to be her friend though the time we get together is too brief.

 Some children were not reacting very well in the early morning.

 Playground is their heaven. The swing is the hottest spot ever in the kindergarten.

Jie Ying is my favorite student.She's talkative! Her sweet smile always brighten up my day.

How lovely...

 Sarah teacher and Mandy BOSS.

They are always so caring and considerate although sometimes are MEAN.

But I'm really thankful for the experience that they gave me in these days.

 I'm taking photo with my bossie...

 Yi Jing was ready to try some cute and bizarre pose but it's too late. I'm already capture it!

However, she's still looked cute and nice in this photo. Ha ha ha...

 Apart from teaching children, I did these photo collections! 

 Before going to class, we took some group photos and they seemed so confusing about taking photos.

 Another group photo with a big boss there.

 Here's the class! Some talking, some dreaming and some concentrating.

Oh kids....

 Jemimah was colouring the triangle with black colour pencil. 

Kids always learn fast.

Apart from teaching, I feed them everyday and Keng Lock is the one who always want me.

But actually he can eat alone...

 An adorable Malay kid, Hakim.

He's an expert in crying. 

 Pei Xian always eat so fast.

Her hobby is bullying me.

 This is another bully yet a supervisor in the class. Everything goes to her business.

Sometimes she's a monster and made the class so much noise.

But she's smart and easy to taught. Ha ha...

 Little princess going home!

 Keng Lock's adorable face when writting "14".

He's really good in dreaming and playing eraser when writting so I captured him to pull him back into the situation.

 Jemimah was writting the way to slow. I had to push her to write every single time.

Huh... how tired...

 Eliza, the fatty in my class who always made me mad in her writting.

She's naturally a perfectionist and she always rubs any letters which have a little bit ugly.

 Edlynn got her ponytails up and said "Yeah"...

 Playing magnets at the whiteboard...

Brainstorming...

 Bully case happens everyday, every hour, every minute, every second...

 Sometimes they are acting crying to find for some mercy from me.

 Playing with my camera...

 This is their works with a tons of creativity.

"Teacher you see, this is a people! He has two eyes, one nose, two hands and two legs!"

"Urhmmm, well done but excuse me where's the body?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha...."

Playing with flashcards after they done their homework.

I love to give them some space to interact with each other and learning while communicating.

Bye children and sure Teacher Lai will miss you all!

SPM Result !!!

Here's  the Day...

 Sze Mei and Susan.

 Zhi Ching and Zi Xuan. The tall peoples.

 Shi Huan's Head on Karen's shoulder. It was so sweet. Ha ha, I love how Karen's hair curl like!

Shi Man's hair is shorter and my hair is longer. She's mad with it! Ha ha aha...

 Zi Xuan checking on his result.

 We's the special group for straight As.... Yeah :)

 This made me remember Shi Huan owed us Sakae Sushi! Congrats dude!

 The black NS Kia.

 1 Brand New chocolate bar + 1 Always Chocolate Bar= 2 Chocolate Bars

My Math got A okay...

This was the way how awesome is my result beautifully showed on my laps. 

I'm fully satisfied with it even with a present of damn A- in the very first row. 

I'm so grateful about this and I have to say a big THANK YOU for my teachers who had taught me.

And I appreciate the support from my family and fellow friends.

Thank you so much.

I love you!

YEAH :)

Today's the Result Day for SPMers

So undoubtedly this is the only single morning post I've been posted!
Okay, I have to admit that...
I'm nervous!
Not because of guessing the result, but thinking to reunite with my friends!
Just wondering how they change physically and mentally. Some of them change drastically!(Refer to Facebook Status)
And then I think we shall have a long long chat today. We have too much to chat.
The result will be announced at today's noon and I will officially announce my result on my blog at today's night.
Stay tuned! Stay cheers!

Here come my breakfast : ) Good morning.

Child Educational Song

As a music teacher to children, I found that these videos are excellent for the children in learning.
They are educational yet interesting!
It's fun to watch it with your child.
Yeah hope you guys enjoy it.
