Finally.. exams ended..
But then, after the exam, I felt extra lethargic. I seriously felt sleepy when the paper was collected as the exam ended at 7pm. Haha.. Since I have promised my friends to hang out after the exams, I just went out with them. We had dinner at Vivo.
After dinner, we went back at around 9 something and reached at 10pm. Well, my friends wanted to go clubbing. But there were only 2 of them if I was not counted in. They asked if I wanted to go. But I felt too sleepy to go out again. Plus, I don't think I would like clubbing although I have never been to any clubs before.
The next day itself, I went shopping at Orchard. What a coincidence when I found that my sister was in the same shopping mall when she called me. Well, then we met. I managed to walk on the street and see the Christmas decoration along the street. It's really NICE. Although it looks almost the same as last year's decoration, the difference lies on the way to enjoy these decoration. I was in a car last year when I went to Orchard, the most happening street during Christmas; I walked on the street and the feelings was totally different...
Here are some random photo I took... :)
Before the sky became dark..
After..
Really can't wait to celebrate Christmas.. But i'll be in Malaysia by that time.. I wish I could joined the crowd in the countdown and shout "MERRY CHRISTMAS" when it hits 12 am! Love christmas.. :)
Today's schedule:
1. To help my Singaporean friend to collect her report in the lab
2. To meet Caroline at Jurong
3. To hang out with Yu Lee and others to see fireworks at Vivo
Hey, I have left out the most important part, that is to clean up the room and pack my stuff. I will be back soon. Yeah! ;)

UpDaTe>>>>
I know it, I have abandoned you for so long. I don't have time for you, my bloggie.. My apology to you.
Well, I have been really busy since the semester commenced. I have never felt so busy before, even STPM was not as busy. Reports, assignments, debates, presentations, projects, term papers, continual assessments, and finally exams. Well, it's a new challenge anyway. I like my current life as I gain something new everyday.
Sometimes I would feel that it's miserable to be here. Far away from home, far away from the loved ones... Loneliness is just too.. lonely......
Those who know me well should know that I am kind of an introvert, but I managed to make some friends from the same course and as well as from the hostel. At first, I felt that i had no buddies here. Now I realize that the problem actually came from me, as I would become antisocial when there are a lot of work to be done. I don't sleep late, so I can't afford to spend time socializing.. Perhaps it's time for a change. I would give it a try (starting from next sem).
NUS- It has been a dream for me to enter this prestigious university. I am glad that I came and am still here. No doubt, it's a really competitive and stressful environment. It needs high adaptability. I am still adapting to it and I hope I could finish my 8 semesters here.
My feelings towards it is indeed a mixture. And, sometimes I feel insulted. I talked to one guy before. Well, he's a Singaporean. Perhaps he was just too direct to tell this. According to him, he doesn't like "C" country people as they would pull the bell curve and "affect the market". Then, I asked him what does he think about us (Malaysian). He answered: "Never mind."
Well, I MIND what he has answered though I didn't appear to be so.
Hmm, one day, you will see how we manage to survive in this small island! No offense, but just wanna point out that we (esp. Malaysian Chinese) are tough! It's a matter of time to prove that. Time will tell~
Here are some photo taken in this new place. (photos of the hostel can be viewed in facebook)*my messy table during exams** I used to see this set up in books, but I could use it, and set it up by my own here*
*taken in one of the lecture theatres"
*Energy supply in the morning class. Well, these were given by Ms Wong during the last English class. She always treats us like small kids.. :)*
*Low blood pressure ...?*
*my "best friend" during the visit to library.. Hot milk tea*
*the view from my window. Nice?*
*taken during the last lecture of Biodiversity*
*kind of a "celebration" after the most fearful Chem paper*
Will definitely update more during the holidays.
(It's time to return to my boring history notes, last paper on 30th)
(to be continued...)

I shall not give up~
I know that my dad has placed high hope on me, I shall not let him down. and, all the loans that await me. I shall never think of giving up. But, i really need some support from someone i feel important to support me. Will u be the one?
Quiz, test, assessment, assignment, project, lab report, etc... Maybe it's a challenge. A totally new challenge. I must go through it in order to succeed.. I want to be a scientist. I hope my dream would come true. My prof's words give me a lot of inspiration. He shared a story, a student of him has successfully became one of the researchers in the US and with a hope that she could help to save lives from breast cancer. She wrote this to my prof:
"I guess, at the end of the day, all the glamour and
publicity are meaningless. They are nice for a while
for the ego. The Nature paper few people will notice.
But what drives me and keeps me going is my belief
that I want to do good and make tomorrow’s world
better than today’s, for the next generation. To relief
pain and suffering and offer hope to the cancer
patients. So often, I want to hold their hands and
channel my best wishes to them, for being brave to go
on phase I clinical trials in which they know is not
likely going to benefit them, but perhaps, the next
generation."
-Dr Peng (the girl who was taught by this prof in NUS)
I wish i could be one like her, doing something to make the world a better place to live in. i shall not, should not, could not give up~

Recent updates (Malaysia-Singapore)
Anyone could guess if I cried when I left home?
As usual, the answer is yes. But this time, I think I am able to manage my emotions better than I was. Maybe it’s an indication that I have grown up?? Hmm.. lol.. crying is just a way to get relief from sadness or unhappiness. Okay, I’m going to stop for a while as I want to take a nap before I reach.
I was blogging in the bus when I was on my way to SG. On my way, I received a call from Raymond. He told me that it’s a weird day as two LKY(s) were leaving Malaysia. Haha.. ya, that’s true.. But don’t worry, both LKY will be back someday.
Well, I have to say that I really scared and phobia of entering Singapore Immigration Hall. It’s the third time I entered and three times out of three times I have to be stopped by someone. Haiz.. why is it so? I have no idea. It seems like I won’t return to Malaysia in short term as I’m really phobia of that immigration hall. Haha..
I have reached safely, finally. I was very excited to see where my room is. A helpful senior (forgot to ask his name) helped me to carry all my luggages to my room. I’m currently staying at Prince George’s Park Residence Block 1 Level 6 room L. Again, how fortunate I am to get the last room at the corner. It’s very near to washroom and kitchen. How nice! ;) After shifting all the luggages into the room, I went to have a look at where we can do laundry and other facilities here. Well, I have to clarify that the room is not as small as what I expected. It’s just nice for a person to stay. Open up the windows, there’re lots of trees in front of me that makes the room so much cooling. I cleaned the room as it was quite dirty. After settled down everything, I was extremely tired and fell asleep right after I bath. The mattress is a little hard and that probably caused me to have neck pain. And, one thing about this cluster is, I never saw anyone walking out of their rooms the entire night. It’s quiet and at the same time it causes me to feel lonely. The people here are not like the people I met in TARC hostel. We used to open the door and welcome our gang to join us in various activities (of course they are all legal activities ;) ) But people here always close their doors and seldom socialize with each other. Perhaps it’s just the beginning stage as everyone is still new here. And maybe I won’t feel that anymore when class has started and I’d be busy all the time.
(Sorry.. the shooting is not nice as i was using the webcam to capture the pics..)
The next morning, I went to Faculty of Science to attend their talks. After all, I felt that the bidding system is quite complicated and most of us were confused. I think I really need to spend more time to understand it in order to ensure that I can bid for necessary modules efficiently and be able to graduate in time. Well, when we were in the lecture theater, Prof Tan introduced us to a person from NUS high school who is only 16 years old and he has completed 12 modules in NUS. OMG! Just 3 words I can describe about him-- He’s a genius!!
I’m hoping for a better tomorrow. I must strive hard and must graduate in 4 years time. ;)

New direction in life >>
My sister who is doing her diploma in nursing at UM has told us how torturing it was during the one week orientation. All of a sudden, i felt that the decision of giving away the local uni offer is right. But if we view it from another point of view, the so-called 'torturing orientation' may be an 'early preparation' for the freshmen as they have to be well prepared to face all sorts of challenges including failure, difficulties, etc in their uni life. Somehow it's a good process for them to really grow up.
Uni life is going to start real soon. It's an excitement but at the same time there are worries. The next destiation would be a totally new environment for me. Everything is a new beginning. All I hope is everything goes well and being able to graduate! haha.. kind of pessimistic..
Just wanna wish everyone best of luck and enjoy uni life!

终于有机会下厨了...
(一)较简单准备 (就只是煎和炸的)
(二)我较喜欢吃西餐
(三)爸爸每天都煮中餐
哈哈, 行动比说的来得实际! 隔天就到 The Mines 的GIANT去买材料了。 最后就买了鱼排, 一些经过腌制的马铃薯,香肠, 小番茄, 还有零零碎碎的日常用品。 就当我和妹妹要离开时,巧碰上中学时曾经同班的一位印度同学-- Nirmal。 真的认不出他!他变了很多,有如脱胎换骨似的。他变得很壮了, man 了,现在念着医科。以前和现在的他实在有着太大的分别了。
回到家去,休息了一会儿,就开始把fillet给调味,然后置放在冰箱内。。
快到晚餐时间了。在妈妈的指导下,我把fillet给上粉然后放到锅里去炸。然后,煎了马铃薯和香肠。那就搞定了。哈哈。。
Before...After...
晚餐来了... ...
hmm.. 终算满意。希望下次还有更多机会下厨,煮别的食物和家人分享!

圣约翰嘉年华会 2009
本来和妹妹打算一同到这嘉年华会去参观,还特地买了coupon去支持。怎知道,在嘉年华会举办的前一天,妹妹接获了一通电话叫他到嘉年华会去帮忙。那就意味着我得一个人去参观了,真扫兴!隔天,妹妹很早就出门去了。大概到中午时分我才出发。想着要一个人去这热闹的嘉年华会就觉得有点讽刺。幸好出发前,顺利說服妈妈和小宝宝一同出发! 哈哈,到达那儿大概有两点许了。当时的表演是扯铃表演,小宝宝仿佛还蛮喜欢看。看了一会儿,我们就去参观不同的booth。 在CPR and Choking demonstration 那边看见了妹妹,我们就过去咯!怎知道妹妹的booth置放了2个‘人像娃娃’而妹妹把娃娃放在 baby carriage前,即刻把小宝宝吓个真着,马上哭了起来。我和妈妈只好把她推到买食物的摊口去觅食,先给小宝宝一个安慰。 过后,就到处去逛逛。
小宝宝和妈妈来张合照吧!笑... ...>>
(下图) 过后我们到Giant里去走走,发现了这张椅子很适合小宝宝的size,但价钱有点太贵了吧,整三十块!
终结来说,这个嘉年华会也算是顺利地举办了。虽然还未达到我心目中那模样的一个嘉年华会,可是也能见证了大家努力的成果。 对我而言, 申请成为器官捐赠者是最大的收获! 希望有更多人会register, 因为‘施’比‘受’更有福!

无聊篇... ...
接着又听见关于德士收费起价的消息,好像惹来不少的反对声呢... ...
起身打开房门就听见隔壁邻居在自言自语,好恐怖!看着他对空气不停地说道:who wants to be the eagle, 然后又用客家话跟空气对话(不知内容是什么因本人不会听客家话),后来甚至还用国语说:budak tu tinggal di rumah nombor berapa? 超大声的!这时,我想起他好像是英国毕业回来的。一个满腹经纶的人,为何会搞成现在这样呢?国家又损失了一人才呀!可能读再多的书,再有知识,但不懂得好好运用及mentality不够强,那也是白费了。
下午帮妈妈晒衣时,看见baby的衣服随风飘着,画面很有趣。这么有趣的一幕让我回想起我也是从小小个,长大成人的。hmm, 如果要我再次从小小个,重新开始的话,可能有些不愿意。哈哈... 或许人终要向前走吧!

公开的第一篇Blog文章...
回想起来以前的生活会是充实些,一早起来就会有‘冲冲冲’的感觉,可是现在呢?haiz..好怀念以前和姐妹们一同上课的日子。现在真的很期待赶快上大学去!可是眼前的路显然有些崎岖,有点迷失方向的感觉...
人在无法做出抉择时都把一切交由神去做主吧?神灵保佑..请替我选择一条我该走的路吧!
目前唯有能做到的就是个‘等’字咯。。。
上个星期五过了个瞞难过的生日。那晚得知理大录取我,而且还是第一选择时,心中产生了许多矛盾。留在本地还是到新加坡去?不停地追问自己...好了,当我决定接受时,却发现名字已不再出现于成功名单上,那种滋味,那种感觉真的不是言语所能形容的。理大摆的这个乌龙实在是太过分了。经过这件事后,总算尝到了希望变成失望的滋味!太不好受了.......
