alrite alrite i will update =P
hey all.. i am back after my 2 week stint travelling all over malaysia. =)
first i went to pahang on tuesday (5th may) to start my training as a facilitator for orientation week in my ex matriculation college.. (yes i am an alumni now.. =P).. hehe..
then on tat thursday recieved an sms tat was totally potong steam.. *sigh* i had to go to Penang for an interview with the faculty of pharmacy in USM on Monday (11th may).. so. yea.. friday itself i rushed back to KL.. then Sunday i packed my stuff then went to Penang..
the interview itself i would say was a bit tough..
first we lost our way in USM. no laughs. =P. the uni IS big. and finding one faculty was like a needle in a haystack. took half an hr then gave up and asked the guard. (something we shud have done from the start =_=)
second. the questions they asked during the interview was all bout pharmacy. like.. what is pharmacy? which sector of pharmacy do u wanna do after your degree? do u know this and that bereau or sector in pharmacy? LOL. i was expecting questions bout me. my achievements, of course a bit of pharmacy but to that extent i was a bit taken aback. on the spot they asked me to list 3 strong points and 2 weaknesses tat i have. stunted. i mind went blank. but still managed to answer them la phew.
so overall i think it was a pretty good interview.. hehe. i hope i get the course. cause i kinda <3 penang. =).. its not a bad place to be at haha.. ok..
after my interview on monday, took a evening bus. back to KL. next afternoon went back to Pahang via bus again.. i think i have buslag. i was immensely tired when i reached the coll on tuesday evening. but nevertheless i was excited to meet the bunch of Chinese juniors for their moral class 5 mins after my arrival. Without bathing, rushed down after putting down all my stuff and bam. 190 ppl in the lecture hall sitting waiting for the lecturer to come in.. it was moral class time =) and we as facilitators get the advantage of the first 20 mins as the lecturers are usually late haha =)..
So yea.. introduced myself.. and we begin the usual briefing of all the stuff tat we were briefed on in my year.. like reference books, bus tickets, organisations to join, etc etc..
next morning (wed morning), they had to wake up at 430am, and so did all the facilitators. it lasted till the end of the week.. =( so imagine all the faces during moral class at 530am on friday morning haha =(.. it was like zombie gathering x)
this bunch of juniors left an impact on me nevertheless.. though our ultimate goal as facilitators was to instill discipline and knowledge of this coll to our juniors so tat they can survive the 10 months.. haha =).. we also tried to ensure no one quitted coll because of the environment, because of the life.. unless they got better offers.. but quit just to do form 6 is utter nonsense. really.. because
1. this is a shorter course and guarantees u a place in local Uni (a good one too) if u obtain awesome results which is actually not hard to get honestly.. even if u get not so good results, chances are u still get choice number 7 or 8 in your list. =)
2. form 6 hor, how many ppl can get 4.0. its like so crazy impossible to get.. and if u don't get that, they might just send u to some uni in Sabah or Sarawak.. dangerously risky..and even if u wanna go Singapore or overseas to study. if your STPM results are no good. you can't go either.. unless u have real $ so conclusion. if u have a safe base. why not go for it.. the environment of independance is just a matter of time. when all of us go uni, it will be the same.. but i still don't understand why some ppl quit. =(
but i would say. for our pahang matriculation, no chinese quit for Form 6 muahaha.. only for JPA and better offers.. but i am disappointed at my own school juniors. nearly all of them came back for form 6. i can't help feeling frustrated at that..
On Friday, which was the end of all the orientation week and stuff, i came back to KL, relieved and not regretting that i had the chance to give back what this college has given me.. hehe.. if i have a chance i will try to become facilitator again next year. =).. its quite fun really haha x)
p.s1* i had to do a class act on thursday morning just to change their attitude cos this year we used a softer approach and they were getting out of hand. so no one wanted to be the bad guy. i had to be. i din scold them, but i sorta "poured out" my "frustration" on them =P. which actually worked. why?
p.s2* cos on Friday morning. they surprised us with a Manila card 2 tables long (school table).. with all the words of appreciation and promises to change and put in their effort for this year from all the juniors (each one wrote one small card and stuck it on the big card).. =) and also a song.. =D i was seriously touched and to date, the card is with one of our lecturers in the office x).. its the first time facilitators ever recieved such a gift. thats y i said this bunch of juniors was special..to complete such a card in the span of one night shows your sincerity to change for the better.. u guys rocked! ok.. tat was about my 2 weeks away from home.. ok next..
YESTERDAY night.. was the most frightening experience in my life LOL.. i was playing some games on my lappy then i went to my desktop and saw a msn message
"you can now check your matriculation results for sem 2 finals at this website"
i was like " EH? wasn't it released only on 20th may,10am?"
my hands went cold and my heart started to beat. i wasn't ready for this.. not now. =( i was expecting a sleepless night. cos i knew i did not do really well for my physics.. i went and typed my matric number plus IC.. and..
OH MY GOODNESS.. PRAISE GOD! =D
God's mercy is really evident here.. and i wanna give all credit to Him.. cos i am doing this for His glory alone.. =).. all those prayers are answered now.. i can finally breathe. hahaha
this really means a lot to me.. considering my effort tat i put in was much more than in Sem 1.. and also God's grace.. cos i really really really did a bad paper for physics.. so i din know how i managed to get this.. but yea.. HE gave it to me..
so now i can breathe easier. cause i was already considering with my family... backup plans if i did not get a 4.0 CGPA... due to my physics. =x
but now all the worries are over.. now its up to God again to work wonders and give me the course of my choice.. heehee.. =D
God You are good and Your mercy endureth forever. =)
ehe.. this is a random shot.. 2 kitties playing around in the hostel block i was staying in during my stint as a facilitator in college..
ehe.. as promised some of the pics i took during the trip to teluk chempedak.. this is just the sunrise =)
and this last pic was taken when we were walking along the beach at 4am plus plus x)
ehe.. oh those days. =(. missing it..
agape..
