The end of November

I hope this week will past in a blink of eyes. Too much of works to be done! =( I hope our SLA presentation will go smooth this Friday and our lecturer will have her mercy on us. I heard a friend said she criticized the other group severely today. It is too horrible!

As we have planned days ago, we are going to give our housemate (also my church friend) a birthday surprise just before it ends later. I hope it will give us an opportunity to release a little bit of stress.

Godot?

We had a movie viewing session during the Critical Appreciation of Drama replacement class just now. It is a boring movie for me. I just wonder why the scenes were all at the same place? The characters in the movie just look like insane. They were waiting for a person called Godot and kept repeating their speech. I can't understand. I was about to fall asleep a few times in the freezing cool lecture hall. Perhaps I shall just wait for my coursemates's presentation on this drama.

Not a holiday

Today is a public holiday. We had a combined fellowship with Kampar MUF in our church. I got up early to take a sister to the market to buy some refreshment for them. Then we headed to the church to practise songs. I was the vocalist for the praise and worship session. Thanks God everything went quite well and I got to know some new friends.

It is getting more hectic now. I have to manage my time well.

Thanks God

Legs ache started this afternoon, You know what? It is of the Taekwon-do sparring practice yesterday. I have a little difficulty when walking up a stair case. I'm exhausted. Am I really that old already? Or I should just start exercising to strengthen my muscles and to train my stamina? Anyway, thanks God I still have strong immunity to keep me away from illnesses.

I felt the merciful of God today. I know He has a plan for me. I can't affirm what is the plan, but I know He has it for me. Lord I believe in You and I'm waiting patiently!

Hectic

It was a hectic day. I had a very tiring Taekwon-do practice from 11am to 1pm. And I needed to go to the church at 2pm to prepare some refreshment for tonight's fellowship with another 5 sisters. I was certainly late for it as the practice ended at about 1.30pm.

After having lunch, I went back to my hostel to take a long shower, as to wash away the sweat stains from head to toes. In my mind, everything is full of microbe and I just wish to wash them when they have to be in my hand. I think I have a little bit of cleanliness squeamish.

The refreshment we made was just wonderful! However, I think I owe them a sorry because I was an hour late to join the preparation and I actually didn't help much.

Argh...Assignments!!!

A day without lecture

It was good to have the 3 hour lecture cancelled today. After sending in my group assignment at noon, I went to Tesco Rawang to do a little shopping with my friends. It wasn't little actually as I bought a lot of stuff. Mostly food and some necessities. Had lunch nearby there and we headed back to Tanjung Malim for a group discussion afterwards. It rained so heavily on our way back but it was a clear sky in Tanjung Malim. So weird.

And just now I continued my Fringe season 4. It is my most favourite drama series after The Vampire's Diaries!

After having much relaxation, energy recharged, it is time to get back to my assignments again. Still having Taekwon-do practice tomorrow! Haiz!

Movie Viewing Session

We watched A Doll's House in a lecture hall in B.E. Learning during the Critical Appreciation of Drama replacement class tonight. Assumed we were in a theater, I personally enjoy eating junk food while watching the movie version of the drama that we are required to study. Isn't that much easier to understand by watching the play rather than reading rows and rows of dialogue in paper over and over again but still can't get quite understand it? He should have let us watch all the play earlier so that the course won't become so boring.

Love Wednesday

Well, today is just another ordinary day. I had only 1 hour class and then free for the rest of the day. Had enough rest, then I start looking for ideas to do my literature analysis papers. Only a little but at least I done something. Not forget to say, I had a crazy night with my housemates! I'm exhausted of laughing too much. LOL

Calm day

It had been a busy day but what inside me is calm. We prepared for our Literally Criticism and Student's Learning and Development presentations but eventually it hasn't been our turn today. It is okay, I don't mind to wait until next week again. I did my Phonetics and Phonology quiz 2 badly. After a while in the class, the lecturer felt sympathy for our averagely low marks and she announced another quiz in next class. It is to replace the tragic quiz today. It will be easier, as we just need to memorize the transcription in our note. Thanks God!

Stressful

Returned to week day, I have my Monday blue again. I attended lectures with grudge today and had a quiz for Critical Drama Appreciation. My group is going to present in Literally Criticism and we will have our Phonetics and Phonology second quiz tomorrow. My temper even risen once I think of the raise of room rental for next semester. I though my financial burden will be eased a little if I move to another house but who knows the landlord seize the opportunity to increase the rental as he knows I and two of my housemates want to move over there. Such a deceiver! I feel so stressed today!

I can hear the jingle bell

Christmas is just around the corner! We brothers and sisters decorated our church together today after Sunday service. We used recyclable items like old newspaper and bottles to make our decorations, which is cost-saving and green! I always love Christmas by its beautiful melody and atmosphere but this year is rather different. It will be my first Christmas as a christian. Rejoice!

It is hot

Surprisingly, Taekwon-do practice today had to be carried out at the field again due to a competition in the gym! I was unaware to apply any sun block and as a result, my face is so reddish now. It will definitely take me a long period of time to get rid of my suntan. Not only that, my left leg is painful now due to the accidental kick by my partner when practicing sparring. The master even hit on my heel a few times when he asked us to practice side-kicking. T.T

Rain again

The sky was in sombre all day long. It started to rain heavily just before I have my 3pm class, and I decided to walk to the campus so that not to get myself too wet on motorbike. It has been a long time I didn't walk such a distance since I have my motorbike here. Kind of fresh experience.

My mind is just too easily been swung sometimes. I wish I have a soulmate to talk everything with, but it is just too hard to have one.

Rainbows

I'm currently crazy for a Mandarin song which I fall in love with it at the very first time I listened! Now it is being played in my laptop over and over again! ^^

Weather in Tanjung Malim is so unpredictable. It is like lady's mood, this moment it is sunny but suddenly it turns out dark and begins to rain dogs and cats. I believe you've heard of an idiom saying there's always a rainbow after raining. There I saw two rainbows this evening after the rain. It is so nice~ Just as pretty as a lady. That certainly made good mood of me. I don't like rains but I like the rainbows. =)

Free Wednesday

I woke up late today. After having my late breakfast, I cooked lunch for myself and 2 of my housemates. We finished all the 3 dishes which we would usually have some leftover for our dinner. I guess that is a good review to my cooking? LOL.

After lunch, I took a nap. I think I was unconscious because I couldn't get myself up although I opened my eyes. I guess I was dreaming though.

Then about 5.30pm, I went to the UM bookstore nearby to look for an English pronunciation dictionary. It was the first time I go to the bookstore. I actually couldn't find it at the first time I pass by the shop lot. This dictionary is so important for me to study my English Phonetics and Phonology because it provides transcription of most words which cannot be found in ordinary word dictionary. It is labelled RM108 in the store. It is cheaper than the RM120 one in MPH. Wow...

It is a peaceful day today.

Get up

Today is the busiest day among all the lecture days in this semester. Or shall I say, today is the day I have the most lectures, from 11am to 10pm. Only that I have 3 hours in between for taking shower and dinner. Still okay though... I take 19 credit hours this semester but my timetable make myself seem vacant as compare to my other friends. No, I'm supposed to have no time to spare because all my major and minor courses are of 3 credit hours, with lots of course works and presentation! Well, TESLians always seem to be loafing around all the time at the beginning, then tucking our head into laptops and notes towards the end of the semester. >.<

I shall make full use of my lecture-free day tomorrow. Go!

Quiz and quiz

I'm trying not to check on my long work list or else I'll faint! It is already week 9 and 5 more weeks to go! Oh Mr. Time, go faster while I'm still conscious! It had been so stress today. I kept worrying about the two quizzes tomorrow for the whole day. But actually there will be only 1 quiz! Phew! Feel much relief! And now I can concentrate on the only quiz!

=(

Time flies! I came back to Tanjung Malim today, unwillingly. It is good to have my parents sent me here all the way from my hometown. If I was to take bus, I think I would not come back anymore. Lol... Can I not don't look at my long schedule and continue with my sweet dreams? I guess impossible. Haiz...

Driving

Wow, I drove my dad's Toyota Hilux out just now without him sitting beside! Haha! My mom suggested to have dinner with me and my younger sister at restaurant since my dad was out for a function. I gave a big clap to myself for the gut to drive such a long and big size car although I was afraid! I can't used to park it! Lol... Good attempt anyway!

Home Sweet Home!

Home sweet home! Wow, I didn't realize that I was not home for more than two months time. It is so good to be at home! So relaxing! I slept well and enough with my lovely bed and pillows. Thank you to my dearest mom for the delicious dishes and soup! I just miss mom's cooking so much! Is this happiness? Good mood makes me want to whistle now. ^0^

Back from Penang

It was a very tiring trip I ever had in my life! It took us about 7 hours from Tanjung Malim to Butterworth, and still we had to transit a ferry and bus a few times to reach USM! I couldn't sleep in the train because the seat was so uncomfortable. I just couldn't get the right position to rest. Totally not in mood during the first day of the camp due to insufficient sleep! It get better for the next two days except that I didn't really enjoy their games. Anyway, I learned something from the camp.

Right after the camp ended, I and a group of 14 friends checked in a local hotel in Georgetown. We decided to do a short trip before we came to Penang. Things was going a little bit messed up because we didn't planned probably earlier and that made me feel a little fed up. Until the next day before we leaved, I wasn't really enjoy. It was my problem. It won't happen again. If any of them see this, I just want to say sorry.

Off to Penang

I'm going to catch a train to Butterworth in 30 minutes time. I'll be taking part in a 3 days camp in Penang Island and hence I won't be able to update in these few days. I'm still thinking of how to go back to my hometown, Teluk Intan from Penang Island. So many works to be done by the time this mid semester break is over! haiz!

Restless Mind

Feel so tired, so annoyed now. I wish I'm home now so that I could put everything aside and be submerged in the warmth of being at home. I don't want to do anything, not even to think of anything. O Lord, I'm weary and burdened. May You give me rest.

Fun or torture?

Isn't that learning should be fun? What I mean is teachers themselves should be fun so that to trigger student's interests toward certain subjects. I'm saying this because one of my lecturers is very stern to us and I feel so tortured. It makes me feel like I'm back to my primary school when teachers were holding a stick, preparing to punish pupils whenever they made a mistake. Isn't that familiar to the old time primary school teachers who always scolded us for doing something wrong? It seems like the lecturer doesn't care about our feeling at all. It shuts down the little interest of mine to study the course.

Anyhow, I still have to study. I should forgive her and pray for her.

What am I doing?

One presentation is completed today, more to go! I started to worry whether I have enough time or not to complete so many assignments within 2 or 3 days next week. I will attend a 3 days church camp in Penang and stay there with my friends for an extra day, which means that I'll probably arrive at my hometown on Thursday or Friday. I have a problem. I never got the motivation to do anything regarding study when I was in my sweet home. Perhaps I shall be firm with my determination to work harder for the sake of my grade. No more wasting of time, no more procrastination!

Choral Speaking

I and my group members presented a choral speaking in Phonetics and Phonology class today. It is considered not bad as we just started our practice last night. Thumbs up for all of us. I hope to have a more professional choral speaking like what I had done in my form one in the future.
