All too soon

All too soon. Yupz, my holidays gonna end soon in one week time, and my schooling life will start on 3/1/08. All too soon.

Looking around. Most of my friends are working, they don't plan to start their study so early, but i'm going to study A-level next month. Anyway, i believe i have made a right choice.

Pei Yi gonna start A-level at HELP in january too...same with me...it's glad to hear that cuz i won't have to worry about the new environment, new friends, new lecturers, and most importantly, new life staying at the hostel.

Tomorrow i will check in the hostel...at the same time my relatives are coming back from USA...long time diden see him...haiz...how my life will be next month?

I don't know my roommate yet...just know she is studying law, a malaysian chinese girl..well, it's good too not to have a roommate who is studying A-level like me...at least i don't have to rush for toilet at the same time...hehe...

Wish me luck then. Who's starting A-level next month at HELP too? Can tell me? I hope to meet old friends...like Pei Yi...can't believe we are schoolmates since primary school, secondary school, then college! ^^

just crapping...

Today is quite a busy day. Lots of forms waiting for me to fill in...

Application form for A-levels
Application form for accomodation
Application form for PLA Scholarship
etc...

Haiz...really headache to face the same blanks, same info to be filled in, and the same essay for the scholarship(which i had written once for SASA Scholarship...)...anyway, it indicates that my new and 'fresh' schooling life is going to begin soon...

And most importantly, the money spent for this A-level course...my family is not rich, and so if without a scholarship, my dad will bankrupt soon...my dad had paid RM1350 yesterday when we visited HELP University College, and i could hear his heart shattering secretly...if my dad is not 'expert' in buying and gaining profits from share marketing, i wouldn't have this chance to study in HELP...

Anyway, i will study as hard as i can. Of course i will not waste my dad's money. The RM1350 is just a beginning, later on the course fees and the driving fees are coming soon...life's really difficult...

So, i wish one day i can be rich. Maybe i'm not able to be rich by myself, then i may marry myself to a rich man...haha...who knows?

Today just registered at a driving school...and the boss there did me a undang test(just to test me and prepare me for the real undang test)...and i passed(all correct!) colour blindness and vision test...for undang, i get 32/50...failed la...but it's already very great! I had never gone to any undang course and read any undang book...just did the test according to common sense and tembak...lolz...

So...getting to know driving soon! ^^

Contact lens!!

I have my own contact lens now!!

Today morning i went to 1U focus point shop and ordered contact lens. And i have to say, it's not easy to put on those contact lens onto your eyeballs!!

The salegirl taught me and i think she had got fed up with me. I tried to put on, but when the lens approached, my eyes blinked.

Approached, blinked.
Approached, blinked.
Approached, blinked.

ARGH!! Enough of that! Tears just kept dropping down my cheeks. I was not feeling painful, it was just that my eyes sensed the presence of foreign substances in them and they just rejected it while i kept forcing them to accept. After struggling for some time, damn! I still failed to put the lens on!

'Alright alright. Let me help you put on...come...' Well i think the salegirl couldn't bear with me anymore. She just pulled my eyelids and so qiuckly she successfully put on the contact lens.

Just wore it only nia my tears flowed again. Haiz, it's really not easy to look pretty without spectacles...

I'm now wearing the lens ^^ but truly i say, i'm not used to yet. Mayb i still need some time...just now i tried by myself and i managed to put on both lens!! Haha...luckily my eyeballs didn't turn red and they are very well now...well, my eyes, be obedient. Thanks for ur cooperations and for accepting contact lens as ur closest friend =)

Psychology or not?

Alright, final decision i guess.

A-level, HELP University College, january intake, staying at its new hostel.

Before this, i had struggled a lot. A level or foundation or matriculation or STPM? Later after pre-u, psychology?

'WAT?? PSYCHO?? What ur future ll be? Social worker? oh no...not much wages earned...human resource? haha...that's a poor department in a company. counsellor? psychologist? U think u can be a successful one? Everyone is aiming for this job, oh ya, perhaps one day the demands for this career are getting more, but come to think of it, there are many people having same thoughts as u, and will u be able to fight and cope with it? unless u study for psychiatrist, it will be just nice, but u have to study for more than 6 yrs! Can u tahan?'

'Are you serious? My nephew took psychology but then he regretted. He had to start all over again in advertising bcuz he couldn't find a job for his psychology profession. He used to counsel prisoners but he was afraid to see those prisoners were more expert in talking than him! Think over seriously, pschology doesn't really provide you a stable future.'

The 1st response was from my aunt, and the 2nd was from her husband. Both of them are professionals, my aunt is a GM in Petronas, earning RM30K each month, and her husband, my uncle is dunno wat post in Alliance Bank, earning about RM30K monthly too. Ya, they are rich, and they can think more maturely than me. They know many things bout jobs and pays.

The real case about my uncle's nephew who couldn't find job after studying psychology scares me. Sometimes i'm also thinking, whether psychology can really promise me a nice job. Frankly speaking, i have studied so much, i have got good result, what are all these for? What else if i'm not longing for a high-paid job and a rich me?

So i choose A-level. Maybe some said that it's enough for me who is going to take psychology as undergraduate course to take only foundation or matri as pre-u, since it saves time and it's cheaper, but i still prefer A-level. Who noes my mind will change? Who noes one day psychology degree will be out of my thinking box in the future? I'm still doubting, my dreams or reality.

DREAM - Psychology, earning not much, high percentage of having no satisfied job in future(although there are some who are exceptional, they are few compared to others, honestly)
REALITY - A course i dun really like, but pays me high salary in return.

Maybe i will chooe reality. I'm going to fly overseas for further studies, so A-level is my choice. No doubts on that anymore. Anyway, if i study A-level, i can study any course, at anywhere i like! ^^

I'm sick... *.*

Finally, after 8 days and 7 nights of vogaye in Yun Nan, China, i was back friday evening. I intended to online as soon as i was home, but i failed to, because i had got sick.

Why? Well, it all started when i had the heart surgery. It all started when i had this congenital heart disease. I shouldn't had been there. I am destined to this what we call 'fate'.

Let me introduce some facts about Yun Nan first. Yun Nan consists of mainly highlands, about 96% of the land(Yun Nan is about the size of the whole Japan, has the largest number of ethnic minorities in China, located near Myanmar and Loas)is highlands. We went to Kun Ming, Li Jiang and Da Li. Kun Ming has the same height above the sea level as Genting(which is about 1000+m above sea level), Da Li higher a bit, Li Jiang is at 5000+m above sea level(which is even higher than the peak of the Mount Kinabalu).

I was okay when i travelled to Da Li, visited the Chang Mountain(苍山), but i was down with MOUNTAIN SICKNESS when i went to Li Jiang. As we all noe, altitude decides ur ability to survive. The higher the land you go, the lesser the oxygen you inhale, the lesser the oxygen content in your body. I admit that i'm a bit 'innocent', without caring about my health, without taking second attention to my 'abnormal' heart, i made myself brave to climb the Snow Mountain(玉龙雪山). There is no doubt that the scenery there is breathtaking, but then after climbing down from the Snow Mountain, i found myself dizzy, head pained, and i felt like fainting.

OMG. I had got it. Many get sick when they go to such place, and i was the one, in the group of being the serious ones. By that night, i had no appetite, wanting to vomit, and i did the next day. I vomitted the whole day, 5~6 times, nothing went into my stomach but i just kept on vomitting. Everything in my body seemed not right, seemed to be in the wrong senses. I had no energy to walk, my head dizzied, and i wanted to go home. Everyone in the tour group looked at me with pathetic countenance, some even came into my aids, my mum got fever after that because taking care of me, and i had missed some tourism places in Li Jiang. I was feeling really not well at all. I felt regret coming to Yun Nan.

After the horrible time in Li Jiang, we flew to Kun Ming, which is much lower than Li Jiang. In Kun Ming, everything was fine. It seems that i had regained my consiousness again. I beared with my sickness for a few more days, and eventually the trip was over. The MAS plane landed safely at KLIA at 5 something p.m. on friday, but, i found myself feeling not well again. The few hours in the taxi on the way home, my head was dizzy again, nauseated feelings returned. Oh dear. Quickly i consulted the doctor at Jinjang. The doctor measured my blood pressure, and he claimed that my blood pressure is very low, 100/60(what this means i dont really know), and he said, I shouldn't went to Yun Nan especially the Snow Mountain, the place is not suitable for people like me who have problem with heart.

I thought i had recovered? I thought i was fine already? After all, i was wrong. I'm still a patient, in the sense that i had gone through a heart surgery before, with the fate that i'm 'gifted' with unhealthy body.

Maybe this is what we call因果in Biddhism. I dont know what 'I' had done in my previous life, which caused me to have such unhealthy body in return now. I have to acknowledge it, and accept it. I'm still sick now, i can faint at anytime(as doctor said), but i'm feeling much better now. Tomorrow morning i will go to Hospital Malaya for check-ups on my heart again, and i definitely want myself to be exempted form National Service. This such hell-like experience, i dont want it to repeat again.

However, i still went to HELP University College open day today. Yesterday i had slept for the whole day, so i'm quite fine now. I'm going for the January intake(most probably, still not the final decision), and my parents wish to send me to stay at the hostels there for accomodation temporary. The hostels in HELP University College are new, was built only 3 months ago, each room has air-cond and its own bathroom. Wow, i tink the rooms there are as comfortable as my home, or even better, maybe i should consider that, since i haven got my P license. The hostel is 21-storey tall, the rooms are divided into 3 types - single room, deluxe sharing room and standard twining room!

Wish me a bright future. Wish me a good health. My friend wished me 'bon voyage' the day before i departed to China, but instead i had a bad bad voyage. Next time, i dare not got to high places again. Places with high altitudes, not for me!

I'm a translator

Believe it or not, I'm now a translator.

Of course, i'm not a qualified translator. Just think over, who wanna employ a little girl who doesn't even have a SPM certificate to be a translator? What i am meaning here is, i am just a temporary translator, translating dozens and dozens of animal names, receiving no wages(stupid huh).

You must be thinking, 'does this make sense?' Well, let me explain to you. =)

I have 4 uncles in my maternal big family. 1 of them is now in Singapore, and the rest of them are operating a small company at Jalan Ipoh, selling off and trading in traditional chinese medicine. As we all know, many precious animals are facing extinction now(due to so-called human being's avarice), and so many laws and acts are enacted and implemented to protect them. A month ago, my 3 uncles received a letter from government, warning them not to deal with those extincting animals.

That's a long long letter i have ever seen, comprising 14 papers, each page consisting of 50+ animal names. Using your mathematical knowledge, wow...there are about a thousand of animal names. Well, that is not the interesting part. What makes me feel excited is, there are only malay names, english names and scientific names(Linnaeus binomial..do i spell it correctly?), not even one chinese names for those animalssss. So how? My youngest uncle just threw the whole stalk of papers and said, 'help me translate them into chinese names, thanks. Ohya, don't rush, just do it after your SPM has finished.'

Ok, so now it's the time. When i flipped through those names, oh my dear, how am i going to translate them? Let's see. Wow, i have to acknowledge that, what i learnt from Biology is just not enough as compared to those names. Just look at them, there are so many types of animal names under just a species!

Interested? Allow me to give you an example on monkeys :
Black-browed Spider Monkey(monkey looks like spider?)
Woolly Spider Monkey(it's as woolly as sheep?)
Yellow-tailed Woolly Monkey(it's woolly with yellow tail?)
Mentawi Leaf Monkey(Leaf monkey??)
Mantled Howler-monkey(???)
Silvered Leaf Monkey(its colour is silver? with leaf somemore?)
White-throated Monkey(what on earth makes its throat to be white??)
Mona monkey(reared by Mona Lisa??!?)
Dwarf Monkey(it must be very short)
Dryas monkey(what's dryas??)
etc....
etc...

Cool huh? Of course cool, cuz you are not doing this job. Anyway, i feel some fun too. Now only i realise that there are really lots and lotsss of animals in this world, even for only protected animals, they are already in an enormous number. How about those unprotected ones? How about those which are still not yet to be discovered?

There is such a whale in our earth - Sperm Whale. I nearly laughed crazily, Sperm Whale? I really admire the scientists and biologists' creativity! As for what a sperm whale is, just check it by yourself. I already know the answer though +P

I also realise the nobility of the biodiversity. Just look around, green house effect, global warming, floods, droughts, pollutions, all these environmental problems are threatening our lives, so do the animals' lives. Animals domicile our mother earth since a long time ago(even earlier than us), and they are of a large amount. But now, who is ruling the world? Who is controlling them? Animals are disappearing from this earth, who should be blamed? Why do all these happen?

We all know the answer. Are the culprits taking any action? We all know inside our little hearts.

Let's appreciate the ecosystem. This is what i learn from the task of translating animal names to chinese names.

Buh-bye SPM, Stupid Plus Mad exams

Do you know what is the feeling after SPM? Do you know what is the feeling after escaping from the syndrome of SPM(SPM-phobia)?

Feel like shouting? Feel like going insane? Yupz, i'm now in the top of the sky!!

Let's see, after months and months of preparations, after weeks and weeks of worries and insomnia, and now, i'm FREE!! Freedom after SPM!! Can u imagine that?

Wow, finally holidays come. Right now, i really have to do a check-list, a list of works i have to carry out after SPM :

1. Clean all the tables and rooms i had messed up.

2. Get a trunk(if possible, if not, a box will do equally fine), and throw all the annoying papers and books(which i think i will not use them anymore), and then, SHAO GAO PO JI.....!!!(can earn pocket money somemore)

3. Pack luggages for travels.

4. Be a translator, translating lots and lots of animal names into chinese names.

5. Improve my English. Otherwise, i don't think i can survive in college life, since my english is so bad(haiz).

6. Going out to malls, and hope to watch some movies(enchanted, golden campus...bla bla bla...).

7. Online, and surf the net, be a high-tech woman(if i'm really that capable)

8. Part-time jobs(if my parent allow me...)

9. The last but not the least, study! Oh dear, another tough time comes...

Anyway, finally SPM is over. Have been waiting for this time to come and now it is. Haha, enjoy ur holidays to the maximum! =)

~~I'm wishing to be in the slumber of dreams too...sleepy~~

Holidays!!!!

My holidays!

Guess what, my december will be full with plans and schemes...wow...most probably my holidays will be a meaningful one!(must be la...if not i don't know when can i get the chance again...)

3 days after the bc paper, which is 7th of dec, i will depart from KLIA with my family and fly to Yun Nan, China! I will have a wonderful week(actually is 8 days)there, once again experiencing the cold but unforgettable winter!

Next, after returning form china, i will be rushing to Hospital Malaya(which is SO familiar to me), and then have a body check-up there. I have to be exempted form joining National Service, cuz i doubt if my body can stand the vigorous exercises and activities there. I think u have already known this, that i used to have a heart surgery when i was six! A hole of the size of a 20sen syiling at the septum of my fist-shaped heart!

Then, go to HELP University College for its open day, which is on 15th and 16th of december. In the midst, i have to patron some fashion houses to buy a suitable skirt(or gown?) for my prom night!

17th of december, the next station will be in penang. My family of 5 together with my relatives(what a big group again) are going to stay at Batu Feringgi for 3 days. The resort is located near the beach! Wow...can't wait for the trip...!

The next day after returning from penang, i have to attend the prom night...it's the 1st grand prom i have never been to! How is it like? I will know on that day, at the exciting and yet memorable night!

My mum said that most probably she will bring us to s'pore to visit my uncle during christmas...that means i will have to pack my bag for the third time! LOL!

Ohya, don't forget some hanging-outs with my frens too! I have promised to go out with my primary friend! I have not seen her for at least 4 to 5 years! Miss her lotz!

Wait a minute...how about my driving lessons? My friends and I have decided to learn driving together...and how about my future study? I will be the January intake for A-levels...(i have got the scholarship! ^^ but not SASA)wow! Show time begins after SPM!
