Penang ppl all dun know how to cut hair one. lol. one side long one side short lar. or mess the whole thing up. :s<br /><br />This weekend imma gonna be on a getaway/retreat sort of thing to Frasiers Hill with Adrian.. where i will be meeting up Ps. Phil Stevenson, who was camp speaker 6 years back and was my "guardian angel"! haha. its been a tremendously quick 6 years.. still remember how he blessed us with his prophecy sessions in the same place Frasiers Hill! oh youth camp memories.. ;) wondering when youth camp will be held this year? i don't think i can make it again :( have ta head back to penang so early.. :S<br /><br />Hopefully i can get a job when i head back this time to Penang after hols. I gotta sort of wishlist to fulfill<br />1. Get a bowling ball.<br />2. Change phone (iphone is my dreamphone but highly impossible :P) with a good cam/recorder to be able to produce better quality covers. ;S go to my youtube page @ http://www.youtube.com/user/musicizIife and u will understand what is bad quality. :(<br /><br />of course i can only choose one and the top one is priority cause i got a few tournaments that i wanna join plus u can't really train with a house ball. u need a personal ball to accustom to, cos bowling really requires consistency.<br /><br />ah.. being back and being able to sleep on my own bed, meet up some friends even though most are busy at this time is still fulfilling after a seriously stressed exam and a stressed semester. hoping the next one will be less busy and more fun and hopefully a job too..as they said enjoy uni life ma :)<br /><br />Hopefully next semester i can too start serving in at my Penang church, EPCC :) Have been craving so long to serve the Lord. :)<br /><br />ok then. thats bout it for the latest update!<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-50353423514434836032010-11-14T01:44:00.003+08:002010-11-14T01:56:37.795+08:00long since...I updated! isn't it? almost half a year has past. and the last post was during my exams! lol. this time with no exception too. :X in the midst of it. at least during the 5 days of last week i had conquered 6 papers. with 2 remaining papers. :) seriously not in the mood now. but i have to force myself to study cos the next paper is on monday.. T_T<br /><br />Well i just wanna share a testimony on God's grace for this exam..<br /><br />As i said earlier on i had 6 papers in 5 days. all back to back. and for 3 days, meaning most of the things i had studied are usually gone cos i focused on the ones before. And i had no time for the papers approaching the weekend. So for some papers it was really really last minute.<br /><br />I really prayed to God for this hoping that He would guide my paths to study and omit what was not important.<br /><br />I was prompted over and over again to omit certain parts during my study and focus on some. Guess what? The ones i focused on came out and the ones i didn't were really gone from the exam! Call this luck but it happened for 3 papers so i believe its really the grace of God!!<br /><br />I prayed for strength and i managed to survive this whole week by God's grace knowing that He has taken care of me and given me strength. This semester flew by really quick and the exams are coming to an end. Hopefully i can manage to focus and continue to finish off! :)<br /><br />Of course, there are many lessons i learnt from this. That was not to gamble and test God. I coulda started earlier cos i didn't expect the subjects to be really that tough. But His grace was truly spared for me this time and i really thank Him :) He will nvr let u down and throw u aside. :)<br /><br />Gotta get back to study now! :) Heading back to KL on 22nd november! Can't wait can't wait! :D<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-34808959164615527882010-05-01T23:07:00.000+08:002010-05-01T23:09:12.910+08:00exams are over!~after a gruelling 8 papers in 11 days, i am free~! haha.. so many 4am-5am of many nights. after the sweat and energy, i hope i will be blessed =) will be back on 3rd may for 2 months! x) till then guys! =) just a side question. anyone going for church camp? :D<br /><br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-70561880997712085532010-04-21T19:52:00.002+08:002010-04-21T19:57:17.469+08:00tight exam schedule..This semester i have a very tight exam schedule and i don't really know how i can study everything..

But my point is, i haven been really playing the stuff i used to like playing on the piano, the stuff that mingled my passion for music in the first place.<br /><br />There is another concert coming up for small society tat encourages singer-songwriters, musicians to join.. its like a band but there are many people in it. Initially i wanted to join cause i tot it would be fun... but after the tedious experience i had to the point now i feel like playing music is no longer a passion but a burden, i decided to miss this concert, as it is optional and furthermore it takes up most of my holidays.<br /><br />I find first and foremost that i really need a long break from playing music or being forced to play music. I truly long to play the things that i love to play on the piano. Guess i was born in nature to be a freestylist and playing last time with the youth back in church allowed me to be who i am. To be free to express the music i wanna express in my heart. But however, that feeling now feels void and i need to fill it back before i can again progress next sem to continue playing for the jazz band (its compulsory cause its a ko-kurikulum activity) again. <br /><br />The true burden that i am facing now is that when i turned down the decision to join the concert this year for the optional band, they have tried numerous times to try to force me back in into the concert. I feel countless of times when i see them that my rejection to join the concert is like a betrayal to them. Come on lar, i have my choice to say no, since its optional. I really don wanna lose the friends i have by not joining this concert. But i just really need a long break during this holidays. And what meaning does it bring to me that i play music cause i am forced to and its burdening me, and when i do that, i cannot bring out the best in me. I really need the break to revive that passion and longing to play again. So please... release me..<br /><br />I really long to play the music that can make me enjoy it as well as the people around me, that can best describe what i am feeling. And the most important, that my music reflects the love i have for my Maker, the one who embedded the passion in me and made me who i am today. Oh the longing..<br /><br /><br />Agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-30320330661882992862010-02-24T12:36:00.003+08:002010-02-24T12:56:20.952+08:00The biggest angpow ever. ;)hey peeps.. its been so long since i updated this blog. First post somemore in 2010... haha.. probably due to 3 factors..<br />1. no mood to blog<br />2. no time to blog<br />3. nothing to blog :P<br /><br />time to scrape of the rust a bit here.. i do visit this page sometimes. but somehow each lasts for not more than 30 secs. my own blog somemore.. lol.<br /><br />Just finished my hols.. and its been an awesome time of a lot of relaxation and a refreshing time where sleep is never insufficient back home :) agreed? A major thing did happen this time around i got home... tat is... *drums* i got a car to drive around in campus now! =D I consider this the biggest angpow tat my Heavenly Father and my parents blessed me with =D<br /><br />Seriously needed the car cause i will be involved in church.. in addition to that i am in jazz band.. and this time around my classes are pretty packed and there are quite a number of university courses that require me to travel far from my faculty at 8am in the morning =.=" so yea.. this car came in timely after prayers and talks with my parents.. =)<br /><br />Perhaps u readers are thinking that i got a new car. But i didn't. haha. Its one of the cars i used to drive back in KL.. hehe. my church frens in KL should know it too.. its the old Proton Saga that i drove around during my "P license" days.. (glad its over :P) But knowing that the car is old, my father went and did a major makeover on the car.. cost quite a lot.. cause the battery was changed, some tweaks to the air con, radiator.. etc etc... but now the car is as good as new.. i can feel the power when driving it and its very smooth (the engine is a very good one, the very same engine since the production of the car and was never changed).. the only prob now may be the suspension cause the car is already old and the suspension is hard. but other than that its perfect! =D thanks dad. =) and this car made it all the way from KL to Penang at 100-110km/h :O great speed for a car tats 21 years old.. ;)<br /><br />Now with the car i can loosen up my schedule a bit.. because back then, even with a 2 hour gap, there is no room for me to rest because by the time i get back and then bathe i will need to come out again, have my meals straightaway and then rush for the next activity.. for instance jazz band.. still haven taken the time i needed to wait for the bus.. so all in all its just ngam ngam without getting any rest.. =( so yeah. now i feel so much better and i can actually have some time to sit down and take a breather b4 going out again =D<br /><br />Anyways.. i got a couple of quizzes coming up.. so please do keep me in prayer and I really hope i can cope.. :) got lots of assignments to finish and some gigs to do in the band in march. so its gonna be pretty hectic.. thus i would say i mayyyyy update sometime soon, or maybe i will have to leave it to rust again for a bit.. *apply antirust*<br /><br />This post is actually more to tell u guys tat i am still alive and kicking! haha.. especially for those who haven heard from me for a long time. i have not changed a single bit. :P maybe slimmer lar. :p<br /><br />God bless ya all and take care and to my family and friends, u are always in my prayers, especially those far away back home or overseas or outstation..hope u guys are overflowing with blessings from God in your lives too =)<br /><br />Thats all from me for now, got a lab coming up later.. gotta go prepare. sort of like cooking lab. :P or rather dosage form lab where we actually get a hands on session in making drugs manually. interesting eh? heh.<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-47779087946475454862009-12-19T14:43:00.003+08:002009-12-19T14:52:24.961+08:00busy busyhave been back in Penang for some time already.. going back for Christmas though =)<br /><br />practically have been super busy cause of the music camp preparation for the jazz concert we gonna have on the 30th of December 2009 =)<br /><br />our schedule is practically like this every single day<br /><br />10am -1pm = solo/individual prac<br />2pm - 5pm = group/sectional prac<br />8pm - 12am = whole band prac together guided by the conductor<br /><br />the gaps in between are supposed to be breaks but ended up preparing the door gifts (we have to prepare 630) so yeah. Its typically a full day.<br /><br />had to handle so much nagging and scolding from the professor just because of minor mistakes made like on the first day we tried the song. Its like he expects us to know every single song in 2 mins by jus reading the scores given to us. well some can do it but i am definitely not a reader. i spent like 15 mins listening to the song via mp3 and acclimatizing to it and i got flamed for not coordinating with the practice group who sat there patiently waiting for me to start with the song. In the first place i cannot read score like a genius, secondly i can play a song after only listening to it and it will take less then 20 mins for sure. totally so wrongly blamed. it was not like i din care bout the prac group, but in order to have a smooth practice i have to know how to play the song first right.? of course i jus shut up and din say anything at all.<br /><br />anyways. will be back on the 24th of dec on the 1030 am bus. =) so looking forward to tat. hehe =)<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-38131688645721223492009-11-17T18:11:00.001+08:002009-11-17T18:15:33.051+08:00a dramatic endfinally its all over.. i survived a gruesome 3 weeks of grilling papers.. i would say the first 4 papers were awesome... but todays paper was just.. argh.. statistics it is.. and crazy it was.. =( spoiled my mood adi larr.. no happy ending =( But anyways praise God for all the wonderful works He has performed throughout this final exam =)<br /><br />anyways.. on a brighter side.. =) i am going to pack up adi.. hehe.. going back to KL tomo evening.. and my sis is coming to pick up my stuffs tonite.. so i need to do speed packing.. =x never liked packing.. =(<br /><br />anyways.. a whole month of hols is in front of me now.. and another sem will begin after that.. i have a music camp during mid december.. so i will be missing youth camp again.. =( sadddd..<br /><br />gotta go pack! =D *holiday mood*<br /><br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-71344627651005904992009-11-03T19:14:00.002+08:002009-11-03T19:30:00.718+08:002/11/2009tat was the day of my first exam. Microbiology for Pharmacy.. alas.. the toughest subject amongst all 5 i would say.. but thank God it went well at least i could answer all the questions.. =)<br /><br />over the past week i had a very tough time sleeping..its like i have this pain at the back of my head that prevented me from sleeping.. everytime i told my brain to rest rest rest, sooner or later, a relapse of all the stuff i have studied would roll in my brains.. =.= the night before my exams, i lay down at 12 and could only sleep at 5am. that was even after i took a flu medicine (i din have flu) jus to make me sleep. which is seriously a bad action. it was my first time needing to drug myself to bed.<br /><br />so yesterday evening i talked to my mum about it and she said i was going into overdrive. my brain was active but my body was super exhausted. she asked me to go see the doctor and get mild sleeping pill just for one night. cos my body needed the rest and everytime i tried to put in new stuff into my head my brain would hurt terribly. so that evening itself i went to see the doctor and yea. He told me that i was too stressed up and overdrive by stuffing a lot of stuffs into my brain at one go. He told me something tat i believe its applicable for all students in uni level larr. =)<br /><br />quoted by Dr akbar<br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 51);">"As a uni student, it is different from pre u or SPM. It is totally impossible to memorize all the material that u have. So jus cover the necessary stuffs and leave the rest."</span><br /><br />well. i am and have always been a student who is only satisfied when i can cover everything. my definition of do my best means i have covered every single detail before i go into the exam hall.<br />But yea.. ultimately i think as long as u have reached your limit jus leave the rest to God =)<br /><br />p.s i hate the fact that i have to be on pills to sleep at this young age ==" but it won't be an addiction definitely =)<br /><br />on a side note,<br />a testimony i have to share though. For my microbiology test, jus 2 nites before the exam and the nite before the exam, i was prompted to study certain parts again to refresh my memory. and guess wat, on the exam day itself, wat i was prompted to study mostly came out! =) must be the work of God.<br /><br />2 days time its physiology. i have only covered 25% of it.. as i spent the whole of last week covering microbiology.. i hope i won't stress up myself. really=.= i pray that God will help me cover the necessary.. really need His help right now. i cannot afford to stress up again.. i really can't. i am already tired.<br /><br /><br /><br />1 down, 4 to go<br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-46113695484552112972009-10-30T22:28:00.003+08:002009-10-30T22:43:11.767+08:00reopening of my blog after my examshey people! long since u guys heard from me right? like i disappeared off the surface of the blogging world. But hey, i will be back after my final exams from the 2/11 - 17/11!<br /><br />i need your prayers for my finals desperately because i am super stressed and a lot of material to cover.. but here are the dates and times for my exam..<br /><br />2/11 - microbiology for pharmacy (4) 2.15 pm<br />5/11 - physiology (3) 9.00 am<br />10/11 - basic chemistry (4) 9.00 am<br />11/11 - public health pharmacy (2) 9.00am<br />17/11 - statistics for pharmacy (4) 2.15 pm<br /><br />the numbers in the brackets is the units for each subject, or rather denotes the weightage of the subjects towards my final cgpa. The higher the number, the greater it will affect my cgpa. as u can see total up the number of units i will have 17 units already for my core subjects alone. hectic eh. (max units allowed per sem is 20 units).<br /><br />the first 2 days are my most hated subjects =.= biology. i am so not a bio person and microbiology is so so so detailed! argh physio is too descriptive for me as well! =( nevermind. after the first 2 days i feel more at ease. but the last day, statistics is another subject where we don't understand a single thing. cos its all bout research and biostatistics. case by case study, research methodologies. crazy la. its like dumping us first year students in the deep end. =(<br /><br />but i thank God that our research projects for the Public health and statistics (yes 2 researches to be done. ) went well. after analysing a total of 1500 odd self-designed questionaires distributed to students and the public and running the analysis through computer software (SPSS) and finally the poster presentations to the lecturers about our research findings (over a process of 3 months) we finally overcome the 2 projects -phew-<br /><br />i have to end here then. My baby went back to Ipoh already for the weekend.

DEJA VU<br /><br />had to catch one of the live chickens around the camp area (purposely released by the facilitators).. slaughter it (this had to be done by a muslim to make it halal), clean it then finally cook it..<br /><br />during the slaughter process i had to hold the chicken as no one dared to do it in my team. =( while a muslim faci helped us slit the throat.. (our team had only 2 muslim gurls who din know the proper technique).. shall not go into details.. but we produced nice dishes though =) curry powder chicken deep fried =)<br /><br />night time we had performances etc.. entertaining and all.. and luckily they let us sleep for 4 hrs that night.. and finally the last day was pretty much bout breaking camp, prize giving and debriefing.. left camp bout 3pm and reached bout 430pm in uni...<br /><br />p.s 1. they din let us have cold water throughout the camp. hot orange juice, hot tea, hot everything.. teruk la.. especially after hot days and strenous activities..<br /><br />p.s 2. shower area was a common area.. and the water was green.. =(.. rather take fresh from the pipe..<br /><br />p.s 3 after they gave us back our phones.. managed to take a few pics of the campsite b4 leaving =)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk9F4CyBNH7FBnChITgegEa8IrlJpYgbPHIwKPyWtYLCyGJplpSxvP4585DeYLLjQufC_SR1SNrR1JDGr5K_AhTqFscXRDmm23AvxJFmAd8MlgSEHY4ClGktjykLpwFZh02z9qft-i5VA/s1600-h/camp+5.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

"my heart will go on" from titanic.. cause it suits my style more.. now i feel double the pressure. cos i will be soloing a lot of parts.. and we finished practice yesterday at midnite.. from 8pm.. grilling man.. cos convocation is mid august and we don have much time.<br /><br />p.s practices are on monday and thursday..8-11 and 5-7 plus respectively.. but for the love of music and the will to wanna relearn my theory i found this quite enjoyable. though really tiring..<br /><br />then comes my course's assignments..<br /><br />so far we have been bombarded with 3 assignments.. 1 due this friday and the prof gave it last wednesday! the assignment was to evaluate a whole journal on the given topic.. and we must "critically appraise" the literature. are u as confused? without a actual guideline we must complete it. and according to the schedule, we are supposed to be given this assignment beginning of this month and we have 1 month to complete it. but now it seems not. and i am the leader for this project for my group and we haven't even started! i am in a bizarre mood right now..<br /><br />then comes the stupid research project..must really search journals, evaluate literature again.. must come out with questionaire.. zzz.. must go update the prof in charge every wednesday till we finish our research at the end of the 14th week.. that is around october time la..crazy la..=.=<br /><br />then we have our nursing home project to do every weekend for 4 weeks.. tat luckily i am not the leader for my group la.. so i don have much of a role there..<br /><br />orientation week for our respective faculties pulak.. i am also my group's leader.. meeting tomo night for a one time practice for a cheer, a sketch from a given topic.. in 2 hrs must complete leh =.=.. cos we can't actually fork out the time for these side stuffs.. closing ceremony this sat.. along with a race.. haih. don know whether i will even survive the week<br /><br />then also comes the lab reports.. sian.. 2 reports.. submission this friday.. yikes! and these are not like the reports we do in school leh.. its quite complex and we must detail every single result..<br /><br />there are a lot more things i wish i could put into words. but seems like i don have the time.. i will end my post here. hope i will come back soon to my blogging word.. till then..<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-74180526085504666542009-07-12T20:50:00.005+08:002009-07-12T21:20:31.082+08:00meeting up with some old buddiesheh. first week of lecture and we already feel sleepy.. =P<br /><br />this will be a picture post of an interesting restaurant the whole bunch of us were at in queensbay mall.. the whole bunch referring to KMPh buddies from the main campus (all of us were there.. like only 5 =.=) AND some "delegates" ( 2 only D: sob sob) from the engineering campus across the bridge =)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9P5ZDoKOnpTM4OFiWL7THnflcUwBX0fZDVkknAzFSkznGBx-p8CVP4LNnT8bRo47pZiLqLI2un1mWYMEU2yHbea0hCy8OafrlnA9Sk2KnGql6DLzn5Q5chgbAnz-pNBQtM15QjCT6L8/s1600-h/DSC01015.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

(apparently streamyx not popular here.. lol). its penangfon again.. and its crazy fast.. xD..<br /><br />p.s.. just a side note, my hostel is outside the main campus. its like opposite the road.. where they have 6 blocks and 3 desasiswa. if u get my point, 1 desasiswa has 2 blocks each for both male and female, and we are on the top of a hill, overlooking the main campus.. nice view eh x)<br /><br />so imagine this, in our hostel area, u can walk out at any hour (yes including the wee hours of the night) if u are hungry and go grab a bite at one of the mamaks as well as get really decent internet access.. hehe =)<br /><br />point no 3. this is related to the awesome weekend i had.. hehe<br /><br />on saturday night, we had a bunch of seniors from a church nearby (century church or stg. my fren introed them to me..) who volunteered to bring students out to makan and tour around the area outside the campus a bit..<br /><br />so we were a bunch of 30 something excited freshman heading towards Sg Dua.. (one of the gates of the main campus is situated there.. so we can pretty much walk there ourselves in the future..) but this time we went by van.. used a few rounds to get us all there.. haha<br /><br />and guess wat.. there were like 2 gigantic hawker food courts there.. with all kinds of food.. char koey teow la, asam laksa la.. western la. name it u got it man.. =) this will take sometime to sample all the stuff they have there.. =P<br /><br />after the dinner, we went to the pasar malam (open every sat nite) that was situated jus across the street in the same place.. so we took a walk there. when we started walking through the pasar malam, we tot that it was jus one stretch of the road and that was it.. then when we reached the end we were like OH MY GOODNESS!~ turn left there were more stalls, then finish tat stretch another right and more stalls! LOL. it was the biggest pasar malam i've ever seen in my whole life. in fact bigger than the ones in KL.. woot!~<br /><br />p.s there was a Chinese stall section and Malay and Indian stall section.. tats why it was so big.. not being racist but they have halal issues to abide to so we do understand.. =)<br /><br />after the long walk in the pasar malam, we walked across the street to Tesco. yes there was a tesco and quite a big one too.. bought all our supplies and stuff and finally headed back to the hostel.. man, a super enjoyable nite.. =)<br /><br />Its an awesome uni life here really. with such an incredible environment to live in, wat is there to complain about? hehe..<br /><br />point no. 4<br /><br />ok this was about sunday.. =).<br /><br />went to EPCC (excel point community church) for service this morning.. and man, it was a wonderful service! i enjoyed every part of it, and i am looking forward to serve in the music ministry there soon.. =) they have such a vibrant congregation, a passionate pastor (pastor sam) who preached today.. there was no problem in being attentive.. he was so filled with energy ready to channel God's word and the message was enthralling and captivating.. i found myself nodding and saying "amens" to the points he presented. truly he is a talented and anointed speaker of The Word.. =) i am not going to have a prob making this my regular church here as it has surpassed my expectation.. awesome. =D<br /><br />after the church service, my bro in law and sister took as to queensbay mall and dropped us there.. man the mall was as big as midvalley.. maybe not as big but something identical. we walked around, watched a movie (ice age 3) which was totally hilarious and fun to watch.. its a must watch..<br /><br />rating 8/10<br /><br />p.s i don wanna spoil anything. so no reviews =D<br /><br />after the movie we went back to the hostel and that ended my Sunday.. =)<br /><br />as a concluding point, words cannot describe how great life here is, and how i really look forward to my years here.. its really a blessing to be here.. amongst friendly ppl.. amongst a familiar culture (in USM, there are more Chinese students than Malay surprisingly =O ).. during my last orientation in matriculation, i so wanted to go home after orientation. but this time, i don have tat feeling anymore.. i had the feeling of adventure, to explore and to appreciate every moment tat i am going to have here.. have positive vibes. and this is where i am now, living life here to the fullest and having tons of fun! =)<br /><br />i will halt for now.. if i cont i will be long winded haha.. =).. to all my frens in other unis like UPM, UKM, UM.. u guys enjoy the privilege of going home every weekend k.. (most of u guys). and its in KL, and u all gonna have a uber fun time too..hehe. so i wish u guys all the best and take care.. =)<br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-87155148231621419832009-07-02T18:47:00.002+08:002009-07-02T19:04:37.523+08:00a great week and a great starthey all! its been quite some time since i last updated this blog.. cause i could not get any internet access..<br /><br />p.s the wireless internet here is security enabled.. so i have to register in order to get access to it.. Had to walk all the way to the pusat komputer.. so far..=(.. no bus service yet till friday!<br /><br />Hola! i bring greetings from USM, Penang.. =D<br /><br />Orientation week was not as hectic as matriculation la.. in fact its very relaxed.. =P.. pity to all my frens who are in UKM and UPM.. all the best and i hope u guys survive =P..<br /><br />Quite like it here.. hehe.. =).. its a nice place.. aside from the walking from the hostel to the dewan for major activities and also for your information, my hostel is across the road outside the campus.. so its a pretty long walk to the faculties inside the campus..<br /><br />next week when the seniors come back, its gonna be a rush for the bus service.. everyone will have ta squeeze and squash.. but since i'm from KL, there shud be no prob.. kinda used to rush hour madness.. x)<br /><br />looking really forward to going to EPCC this weekend.. hehe.. =) wondering how the new church will be like and the environment of the church.. looking forward to start serving again and be an encouragement to the young people in USM and around in Penang.. but the Penang one will have to wait till i am used to this place of course..<br /><br />the system in the university is a whole lot diff from wat i used to experience.. in the beginning its really kinda hard to grasp the minimum requirement of the units needed to graduate.. the pharmacy course alone is already super busy.. but we still have to take stuff like BM, english, islam and asian civilisations, keusahawanan, koko, skill courses and other stuffs to fulfill the units.. it was kinda hard to understand.. but now i kinda get it.. all the same.. its gonna be super busy but fun.. hehe<br /><br />looking forward to blogging more in this place.. since i really cannot do much here..haha..<br />p.s the isp provider in USM is "penangfon" which uses fibre optics for their cables.. not like the copper wires "erhem" used by "erhem" company.. so it can actually house a massive amount of data transfer.. i checked the download speed and it is 4.69mbps o.o..<br /><br />oh before i end.. i have a few testimonies to share<br /><br />1. the day i registered, i got a chinese/kadazan roommate who speaks mandarin (it was arranged beforehand by the uni)<br /><br />2. he is a Christian and so is my neighbour who is also Chinese and both are my coursemates..<br /><br />3. managed to know another friend from Sarawak who is also a Christian.. haha.. and also not forgetting the friend i mentioned about in the earlier post..<br /><br />Overall i thank God for granting me awesome friends whom share the same faith as mine.. we can openly talk bout our faith with each other.. hehe. which is kinda cool =D<br /><br /><br />thats all for now la..<br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-558138695437555046.post-89113012308023178712009-06-24T22:31:00.004+08:002009-06-24T22:41:10.512+08:00last few momentsi updated!!! lol<br /><br />went for bowling today with david... my last game in KL and for sometime too.. and guess wat... i broke my own personal record.. =D<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UomkTLLmwC2wLJ7f0TwfPDoqDaTLpdibbB5nbBP7Ot0r7frrNjCcPNi7CrhOW-PIUpGVVbdHPTKLvrrbxXgxbIGv149hXB6puxe8ow3cIr9BDdcUhKf8D66zyOI7IgaWus9QANIM1bk/s1600-h/DSC00985.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5UomkTLLmwC2wLJ7f0TwfPDoqDaTLpdibbB5nbBP7Ot0r7frrNjCcPNi7CrhOW-PIUpGVVbdHPTKLvrrbxXgxbIGv149hXB6puxe8ow3cIr9BDdcUhKf8D66zyOI7IgaWus9QANIM1bk/s320/DSC00985.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350902261720479826" border="0" /></a><br />A 178!! =D<br /><br />my previous best was a 171.. this was memorable cos at the last frame i had a bad split...and i tot gone la my chance to set a new record.. but somehow managed to spare it.. and create a 17x score.. heeeee<br /><br />yala.. think this probably was my last time out enjoying life too.. =(<br /><br />oh before i end..<br /><br />Yesterday something happened and i would deem tat as nothing short of a miracle...<br /><br />I was at the mamak with David and somehow i came across Melissa..

(yes i am an alumni now.. =P).. hehe..<br /><br />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..<br /><br />the interview itself i would say was a bit tough..<br /><br />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 =_=)<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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..<br /><br />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 =).. <br /><br />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.. <br /><br />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) <br /><br />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 <br /><br />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. =)<br /><br />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. =(<br /><br />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.. <br /><br />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) <br /><br />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? <br /><br />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..<br /><br />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<br /><br />"you can now check your matriculation results for sem 2 finals at this website" <br /><br />i was like " EH? wasn't it released only on 20th may,10am?" <br /><br />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.. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihI9AnEIskEWf9x-MRQkp_c7LJPf-z61zUBiZXJiuTqlQhqzFQG2lsLs3yluXDzex2dlHlIpa_tmejiGE33pd4qaoNA_gk3QaKm2fy7mVAb2HFrEmJILdHOZkf6Mzk7m8LOOxruGweoSw/s1600-h/DSC00939.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihI9AnEIskEWf9x-MRQkp_c7LJPf-z61zUBiZXJiuTqlQhqzFQG2lsLs3yluXDzex2dlHlIpa_tmejiGE33pd4qaoNA_gk3QaKm2fy7mVAb2HFrEmJILdHOZkf6Mzk7m8LOOxruGweoSw/s320/DSC00939.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338116142852986066" border="0" /></a>OH MY GOODNESS..

HE gave it to me..<br /><br />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<br /><br />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<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 255, 153);">God You are good and Your mercy endureth forever. =)</span><br /><br />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..<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyUyWbIvpRm6euuvTEXjhsN_AmCpjUl4QogAoR_jj-sfhnp_q-2_PMfdxnPiI_rjVCOPgozUy3U7iaBlWuctigwSsuXUukHj5MonyJ84HZOzpzqdm4srNrd-E-XEiEksAj4xQ2a8wlpUc/s1600-h/DSC00931.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Gonna be MIA from may 5th to may 16th.. but in the middle i will have an interview.. (details not cfmed).. so i will have to travel up and down from Pahang.. hopefully the interview will be in the location where i wanted it to be, which is in KL (Shah Alam).. i just hope it will not be in Penang. if not it will be terrible.. going from here to there.. and apparently being a facilitator is gonna be a very tiring responsibility.. so see how i am gonna balance up my time.. haha.<br /><br />bout the teluk chempedak (TC) trip i had.. just before i left Kuantan the last time.<br /><br />it was sort of a mixture of unforgettable events..<br /><br />first for dinner we had the famous chicken chop and a drink.. which in mandarin is called xi mi lao.. honeydew flavour. haha.. i don really know how to describe it.. but its a sweet drink with honeydew fruit and milk and sago bits..and some agar agar.. which was delicious.. haha.. u can even find this drink in KL.. but yea apparently it was famous in TC. and yes.. its those hawker store by the beach.. so yea. sea breeze and all.. make an awesome meal together with frens.. haha<br /><br />then after the meal, took a walk.. then went back to the chalet.. all of us decided to sleep and wake up at 4am.. go to the beach and wait for the sunrise..<br /><br />at <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">4am</span>. alarms sounded all over the room, followed by groans, then silence. LOL<br /><br />finally <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">430am</span>, we managed to kick ourselves out of bed.. one had to be literally dragged. =.=<br /><br />went to McD. x). (its 24hrs).. grabbed a meal. all of us were starving.. and since we were all gonna sleep through breakfast later mite as well grab a bite... haha.<br /><br />went down to the beach.. chit chatted and ate.. and after tat.. went down to the sea, took of our slippers and walked one whole stretch of the beach.. it was a cool feeling, the late nite sea breeze, warm sea water (ehe. science. nite water is warm). and the waves lapping at your feet. first time i ever walked at the beach at 5am.. awesome experience<br /><br />after 2 rounds, we sat back on the beach, waiting for the sun to rise.. it was already<span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);"> 6am</span>, but due to the slight drizzle and cloudy skies, we din expect much..<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">630am</span>, we could see a bit of the sky breaking apart.. light shining through the very seams of the clouds.. a crowd had started to gather around the beach awaiting for the sun to rise as well.. apparently there were a bunch of strange ppl who went swimming =/<br /><br />in fact. i captured every moment of the sunrise from then.. which i will post in the next post becoz i am downloading something via bit torrent and the upload will be ultra slow.<br /><br />p.s1. my phone doesn't have nite mode.. which wasn't much of a help.. =(.. the phones with nite mode captured better pics.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">7am</span>. sun rose fully.. as expected, we didn't get a chance to see the yoke. cos the sky was cloudy and misty.. but the colours were apparent and clear.. satisfying.. =)..<br /><br />went back to the chalet after tat.. all dropped dead.. woke up at <span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 255);">1130 am</span> checked out and went to the bus station, boarded the bus and headed home.. hehe =)<br /><br />tat was pretty much of wat happened.. a very summarized account..<br /><br />p.s 2 my phone did not manage to get a lot of pics becos all the events took place at nite.. which as i said my phone has no nite mode. so can't take any clear pics. =(<br /><br />p.s 3 i think i need to feed my blog with more pics rather than words. but where to find pics?????? ish..<br /><br /><br />tats bout all for now.. ehe..<br /><br /><br /><br />agape..andrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12195423631685264341noreply@blogger.com1
