Today, I got my marks for the presentation on “My Dream Holiday Destination”. I had been told by one of my classmates that those who scored 40 and above is considered excellent. Surprisingly, I scored a forty for my presentation. I never expect to score that high even though I got the lowest marks among six of my friends. However, I was satisfied with it and at the same time, I will put more effort in improving my English, especially in reducing grammar mistakes that I often make when speaking. Just like what had recommended by Ms.Wan, I should watch more documentaries, do a mock presentation before the actual day of presenting my slide shows and record my speaking so that I can pick up my mistakes when I be the audience of my own presentation. Here, I would like to thanks all my six friends who had assisted me in preparing this presentation, especially the script and I was grateful that all of you accompanied me until midnight 1.30p.m just to listen to my mock presentation, which I think is quite boring, I guess. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Another thing that I would like to express in this post is …. Wow! It was such a tense period during Malaysian studies lecture. Teacher was about 10 minutes late but when he stepped into the class, his face looks serious, and the broad smile that he used to hang on his face seems like hiding at somewhere else. The most important point was no notes on his hands, no bag and the only stuff he brought in was his laptop. “Is there a quiz today?” “Definitely not since no paper on his hands.”(There’s actually some but not many enough to be given out to every students in the class) OMG! It’s the day for presentation…We would be asked question promptly and we need to answer it on the spot. Of course, we would be given time to think but you know, the approximately 3 minutes time was considered as little and what else when we were nervous, shivering and “shaking” until our mind couldn’t function normally? Gosh! I was absolutely nervous even though I kept yawning due to lack of oxygen as most of the oxygen had been used up by my muscles to shiver! Hehe!
Seconds by seconds, minutes by minutes, groups by group of students reluctantly left their seats to be “interrogated” by lecturer about their opinion on some current issues. Fortunately, the presentation started from the A-level students first! Thanks god! At least I would have some time to let my brain to accept the fact that today was the day of presentation and probably I could get some examples of how am I going to respond to lecturer’s questions if I became the lucky star today. The first three groups, I guess was the three most unlucky groups. Their topics were mostly about politics and social issues, which I belief would be some tough questions for most of the students. Let’s give you some rough idea about those difficult questions. For instance, the question could be about Dr.Mahathir or the conflict between Malaysia and Indonesia.
Besides the questions that the first three unfortunate groups get, the rest was quite easy and funny, especially topics related to sex, prostitution, gay and so on. The students’ response to these questions really heated up the whole class including lecturer himself. It actually helped to break the tense atmosphere in the class too. Besides laughing at the answer given by students, lecturer’s response towards students’ ridiculous answers such as squatted down on the floor, hiding his face behind the paper that he was holding and pretended going to bang on the wall amused me. I think he purposely throw these type of questions to students as he could feeItl our tension and stress sitting fearfully in our respective seats. Knowing that we all were praying hard not to be the lucky star today, he later explained to us the main purpose of having this session in every subjects that we were taking. Its objective was actually to prepare us for excelling in one of the examination practiced in other country, which requires us to think critically and express our own view bravely. Ooo…Now only I know the presentation was actually for our own good.
Erm…I think that’s all from me for today! I need to study economics now! Tomorrow test! Cheerio everyone !

Keep Laughing!
The day before yesterday, I went to One Utama which is just a distance away from my house for shopping. Please make it clear that clothes, shoes were not my target in this time shopping. Instead, buying groceries was my main purpose of paying a visit to One Utama. Shop for cooking ingredients is something that I usually do, at least once in a week but yesterday was the most wonderful shopping that I had ever have. There were many funny things happen, not on me but on my housemates, hehe! I kept laughing starting from the first event occurred until I left One Utama. Wakakaka! (Sorry if you got to read about this. Anyway, I was not that evil. I don’t even reveal any single hilarious things that you had done today, so no one will know. ) Hehe!
At night, I had a heart-to-heart talk with my housemates. I had a good laugh during the chatting session too, especially when one of housemates came out with the question “If you are a man, who in this house will you choose to become your girlfriend?”. It was such a challenging but funny question and it took me a few seconds before I could make a choice on the person that I will choose to be my special partner. Besides, we talk about love, which is something that had bordered me recently, not because I am in a relationship with anyone, but I was thinking when is the suitable time for me to start a special relationship with someone recently.
For me, the meaning of love in reality is totally different from the love that we used to think it is. Love is not just romantic, it also involves responsibility. I always prefer to have long relationship and hopefully it can be ended with marriage. Therefore, before accepting anyone’s love, I have to think twice. It’s bad to ask for break up once somebody already deeply falls in love with us. So, no puppy love even though I don’t even have one before. If someone confess his love to me now, will I accept him?I think my answer will be No even though i like him. I always like to have someone listens to me, protects me and loves me for who I am but when it comes to the time to make decision on accepting him as my special partner, I will hesitate. Having a special partner means i have to be loyal to him. I can be faithful but is this the right time and is he really suitable for me?I think i am still haven't gain enough experience to determine the person that I really find comfortable with. So, that's why my answer is 'no'.

Am I a stingy person?
It is good to have someone comments about our attitude or behavior but others opinion might not be true all the time. For instance, a generous person might be interpreted as a person who likes to show off how wealthy they are. Therefore, we must be able to weigh between true and false comment, or in other words, should we make some changes in our behavior according to others’ comments? We can’t always rely on teachers or parents to tell us when to change and when to keep our good behavior as they can’t always assist us in making such decision whenever we need them.
So, here comes an opportunity for me to start acquire this important skill as I was being claim to be too stingy. Am I a tight-fisted person? Having only RM 430 monthly pocket money from JPA, I think I should be thriftier in spending money even though I was receiving a constant amount of money from my parents every month too. RM 430 is not really enough for a person to survive in such a high living cost city but if we know the correct way of managing our monthly expenditure, we can probably limit our spending to below 430 and even manage to have a RM50 for savings every month. That’s what I am trying to do and it looks like there will be a mere possibility of success since I am not a compulsive shopper. I try to eat as cheap as possible but occasionally, I do have some great meals at Secret Recipe or Pizza Hut to award myself for being so economical all the time. I avoid buying unnecessary things and reduce my outings rate to one time per week. So far, everything is fine although sometimes I do force myself not to follow my heart. However, I always belief that our desires will not be fulfilled all the time but no disappointment, no excitement, right?
Once again, am I a parsimonious person? I think my answer is NO!

Being emo!
It was such a moody day today. I had no idea what’s the reason but I just felt like not talking today. Is it because of stress? Certainly not because I was quite indulge in the topic that I was doing research on recently. Relationship problem? Definitely a no no too as I did not have any special partner right now. Anyway, I enjoyed being quiet and remained silent while others busy joking and gossiping with each other. I was being occupied with my own works, trying very hard to improve my English and my personal qualities every day bit by bit and hopefully all my hard work will lead me to the route of success in academic as well as in my real life. Being emo for the whole day didn’t mean I was living in my own world for the entire day. I pay attention to what speakers from UNSW trying to convey to us and surprisingly, I did not face much difficulties in catching their words except for one who had talk too softly as she was having a cold! Maybe this was the sign that my listening skill had improved. I’m glad for that and I wish to improve more in the coming days!

A fruitfull trip
Hah! I’m back! I just returned from KLCC and Petaling Street. It was such a wonderful trip and I enjoy the mere 4 hours tour very much. I especially like the atmosphere in KLCC where there’re lots of branded shops and also thousands of foreign tourists window shopping in the four to five-storey high shopping mall. I love the feeling of foreign tourists walking around me. I was interested in observing their hairstyles, especially those with a slight wavy or small curl at the end of their hair, their natural hair colours which are mostly light in colours but never ‘ olden’ their look, and also not to miss their facial appearance which is always very vivid and nice-looking.
Basically, I just spent my time spiraling up the mall with some occasional stop-bys at some shops that caught my eyes, such as souvenir shops and boutiques. Entering these shops would actually open my eyes on current trends and recent most popular fashion styles, not because I’m keen on following the most up-to-date fashion styles but I didn’t want to be labeled as a “frog under well”. Besides, I always treat every single thing that I know as knowledge and I belief that they will be useful one day. Whatever I see and experience everyday is actually knowledge, just like what the director of “Slum dog Millionaire” tries to convey through that movie. Take LRT to destinations or even find a location by looking at map is also knowledge.
I knew more about branded stuffs after paying a visit to KLCC, again, I was not interested in purchasing any branded stuffs but I would like to know more about them, especially their designs, so that I can express my own view when fashion become one of the chatting topics with my friends or relatives. This can also help to sharpen my thinking, train me to be a person who has own view and opinion.
After visiting KLCC, our next and also the last station was Petaling Street. This is a place like pasar malam with a lot of artificial handbags, wallets, clothes and so on. I managed to taste the “Ma La Pan Mee” here which I personally think that it was very delicious and appetizing. My friend thinks that it is because I was too hungry but I don’t think it’s the reason. There’d been ages I didn’t taste such mouth-watering pan mee since I last left my hometown last month.
Ok! That’s all for me today. I sounds like writing an essay to my English teacher. Anyway, hope you enjoy reading!

A mundane yet a happy day
Early in the morning, while everyone was still in their wonderful dream world, i had already woke up and started my new day of life. I already used to wake up not late than 8 everyday even during the peaceful weekends. Today's breakfast was bread with sausage. Such a delicious meal as compared to the boring biscuits and milo that i usually have during weekdays. This is one of the reason that make me can't wait to jump up from the comfortable bed for breakfast, but of course, everything was self-prepared. Luckily, I enjoy cooking very much! It's one of the entertainment for me here provided the result of cooking test is excellent!
After breakfast time, it would be nothing else but homework time. It sounds boring but i shouldn't give any excuses to delay them anymore since I had already spent about 6 hours for movie marathon yesterday with two hours break for dinner and bathing. i promised myself to complete my English writing within 2 hours before it's high time for lunch but i failed to do so. However, at least i got to finish them after lunch by spending another one hour on it. It gave a sense of fullfillment as I never use such little time to accomplish my essay. Besides, I knew that I had done it with all my heart as i really want to improve my English. This is also one of my purpose of writing this post besides to give some update to my blog.
"MIAN FEN GAO" and "ZHI CAI TANG" were the menu for my lunch today. "MIAN FEN GAO" tasted better than the first time i cook it!Probably it's because i had added in egg, more salt, onions and also my favourite food "additives"-pepper!It smelt like roti canai but tasted like pizzas!I really enjoy eating them!"ZHI CAI TANG", since it was well-packed when i bought it from Greenway, so undoubtedly, it was tantalising too!
I resumed to my homework time after the lunch. Homework again, but this time it's better as once i completed my essays, i could switch on my laptop and start facebooking besides searching information about Nelson Mandela and the topic of transexualism. Obviously, facebooking was the major and information part was the minor part. However, my plan was ruin due to internet connection problem. " Internet Explorer cannot find this page".These phrase kept appearing in Facebook window but not others! Such a brilliant Wifi system. Anyway, at least now i had already finish my information serching session and i can start blogging now!

Apologise for not updating!
Really sorry for not updating my blog for exactly one month already. I always want to do so but something makes me hesitate from doing so. First of all, it's because blogging is quite time-consuming for me. To be more precise, it should be surfing the net will taken away about 4 hours of my time for homework as i used to stop by many other websites once i got the chance to go online. I have a lot of experience to share with you guys but i face problem with the internet connection when i have the mood for blogging. Update my blog when there is low internet connection will only cause me using more time to rewrite the post and eventually still no post can be updated.
