Songs

Just to shout out the songs that I love most this year. The song might not be launched this year, but yea, this is from my point of view

1) Chao ren bu hui fei (Superman don't know how to fly) by Jay Chou

Talks about pressure from every side of the world. Do this, you will be judged, do that and still will be judged. It's like everything you do, it will be negatively looked at.

Like for example being a student. You don't do well in studies, people say u stupid. Do dang smart, other students don't like u and outcast u, see u as a nerd. On average, people will say you not outstanding enough.

Expectation is so high that it's almost impossible to achieve. Which leads to.. a person having low self esteem.

Bu yao wen wo ku guo le mei, ying wei chao ren bu neng liu yen lei
Don't ask me whether I have cried, because Superman can't shed tears

Moral of the song: Do what you want and it's ok to not achieve the society's expectation because it's ridiculously ridiculous. As long as you reach your own expectations, you should be proud of it.

2) Mei na me jian dan (Not so simple) by Huang Xiao Hu

Talks about how it's not easy for 2 person to come together. Each having their own personalities and differences.

This song is especially flavorful during emo time. lol. it really reflects the reality of love life as compared to all the fairy tales and the lovey dovey stories being portrayed by mass media.

Moral of the song: Love is not easy. Sacrifice is a must in the equation.

3) Just the way you are - Bruno Mars

Very lovey dovey song as compared to the harsh reality of no. 2. I like it because it gives hope and it's lovely la. It's good if I got someone to sing to, but then i don't. sucks to be me. XD

Happy New Year

God Bless~

Graduation Volleyball Journey Post

Since I have a graduation post for my studies, takkan I don't have a graduation post for my volleyball life throughout college right? My volleyball life has been very colourful during my university days.

I remembered when I went to college the first few days, I went to Department of Student Affairs (DSA) and asked the person whether there's a volleyball club in HELP. He said NO. I was disappointed. :x

But during my first year in Psychology, the volleyball club is being established by A-levels people. And so starts my journey. They initially played at Bangsar Sports Complex and there's where everything started. The first time I went, I still remember vividly some of the faces, most prominently, Sufan. He was the first person which caught my attention because his skills were above the rest. I think he had the same reaction to me too. Ok, this bit is probably my perasan-ness. XD

We played on a weekly basis, and rain or shine, there will be people. Seriously. hahaha.. then I brought in Ying Zhou when I got to know that he plays volleyball during MC 100. We were in the toilet discussing about it :p

At that time, it was just playing for fun, as there were no tournaments yet. In 2008, the president of the volleyball club said to me that I will be taking over the club. i was like @@. why me? ahahaha. So yea la, i did took over the club, and the first big thing was to bring in people to play for Masiswa 2008, which would lead eventually to MAPCU 2008.

Pre post Prom

Before prom, i did not managed to sleep well. There's a few things going on in my mind and it keeps on repeating and repeating and repeating itself. actually it's repeating now too!! :s

After prom, which is today, i had a strange interesting dream(s). i slept at 3.30. cool huh?

I dreamt that inside my dream, there's Dr. Anansu, together with her other half, a White dude. ahahahaha.. so funny.

also i remember of me getting hit by girls. another very funny thing in the dream.

Inside the dream, there's also Zhang Dong Liang. So hilarious when i woke up and think back about it. Of course when you read it this way, it is disconnected pieces, but when I dreamed, it was all connected.

Christmas is coming.

God Bless~

Graduation Post

Finally. Graduation!! Ah, it's been a long journey, and a very fruitful one. This is going to be a very very very very very long post, because I will try and put some of the most eventful things that have happened throughout my university life. Just want to show everyone how awesome my life is. XDXD

Let's start from Foundation onwards:

This is the photo that I have, English lesson together with our lecturer. I think not many people remember this photo. Not even me actually until i saw it the other day. I was so stressed up and I wanted to online, but then that day i couldn't connect to the internet. So I looked at photos. Brings back memories. That was when we were younger.. oh my goodness. XD

Kwok Weng, Derek, Tawfik, Farid, Cheah, Siva, Maxveen, Me
Nasha, Amanda, Li Shen, Stephanie, May Ching, Dionne
Lynnette, Ally, Mrs. Chuah, Isabelle, Sarah.

Sorry for the two person i forgotten the name. :x

Another very important event in HMC was Trolak camp of course. This photo remains one of my personal favourites. ^^


Besides Trolak, there's another 3 important events in foundation which was the campaigning during election, HMC annual ball as well as the PD trip. But I don't have any nice photos to show.. so that shall be that.. Some other interesting things would be MISbed, Juz Do It cafe, all the scandals during foundation *wink wink* Lam *cough cough*. XD Now moving on to Bpsych years. Even more interesting. hahahaha

Bpsych Years. The beginning was of course Orientation Day. This was the very first day of Bpsych for me.

That's Cha Loo, Liggy and Hui Sin there. So much changes in how they look now. They look better now. ^^


During Freshman Lunch, we were required to wear robes, as motivation for us to complete our years there. Inilah kita masa itu.

All in all, it has been a great journey, because I had good people by my side. And these are not including my volleyball life. I guess I will dedicate another post to that :D

Teachers oh teachers

How many of us actually remember our teachers? Who have sacrificed their time and life to teach us the things we need to learn in life?

The first teacher which left a deep impression on me was my Standard 1 and 2 class teacher, Ms. Azizah. See.. i remember her name. but i don't remember her face.. ahahaha.. but I know that she's kind and really patient. Another teacher i remember was my Moral teacher during standard 1. A tall Malay man with moustache, I don't remember his name sadly. He always like to use our Moral period to tell us stories about a fat man and a skinny man. and it has continuation, which would make us wait in eagerness for the next class.

I also remember my English teacher for standard 3. Pn. Kasmawati (not sure if spelt correctly), a plump Malay lady, who is very strict. She spanks people. hahaha.. and everytime I want to go to toilet during her period, I would rehearse in my mind a few times how to ask for permission, before mustering up my courage to walk to her and ask.

Also, I remember Encik Suhaimi, my Maths teacher (or was it Science? maybe both) in standard 6. And my BM teacher who is really kind. Forgotten her name :x

In secondary school, I remember my Form 1 English teacher. A pretty big size (for a Chinese female) and she's really fun. Likes telling us stories. My form 2 English teacher is also good. She's a Malay, petite, lovely lady. And because she's a Malay, some of my friends thought that she isn't good in English. My friends went to find her and came back saying to me "Oh she's a Malay, but she speaks perfect English" XD Rahul.. u remember this? XDXD

Cikgu Prema, history and BM teacher in Form 3. She takde suka kita, sebab dia ingat kita amat berlagak dan angkuh kerana kita kelas pertama. ahahahaha, and this persisted until when we were form 5 (long after she taught us) lol..

Moving on to form 4 and 5, Datin (Chemistry teacher), Tahiah (Physics teacher) and.. oh biology teacher not important (She made us all dislike biology :x) Add Maths teacher, Mr. Thean (also our volleyball coach then) was a person of small stature but likable by many girls. XD

History teacher, Pn. Norizam, Moral teacher, Encik Jamil, and i forgotten my BM, BI and Maths teacher's name. Dang!

And how could i not put his name in? Mr. Lee Kean Sing. My tuition teacher for Add Maths. Likes to blow water, but his teaching methods are good. At least it gives me a deeper understanding rather than just managing to solve the problems.

Tuition teachers... My BM tuition teacher in Johan during primary school was pretty nice. Also, Science was also pretty nice. I had quite fond memories of Johan. Especially with Boon Kit, Weng Soon and the person who always poke my back, Ms. Valarie Seow. XD

Biology tuition teacher was great. Great because he revived my biology from my school teacher. XD he's funny also. and loves to enter the topic of sexuality. lol.

I am really thankful for my education in the public school. It made me less prejudiced I would say. It made me have the opportunity to come together regardless of races. It made me realize that despite our differences and difference in perception, our perception of the others may be wrong. It made me who I am today.

Thank you to all my teachers. May God always show mercy unto all of you

God Bless~

Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow. Those who have taken English literature should know these famous words where we were forced to study.

tomorrow is going to be my last class in HELP. let's hope it stays that way. being nostalgic about leaving. so many memories and friends i got to know. so many things learnt. some people can't wait to get out of uni. me? ambivalent.

where am i heading to next? i want to go work and travel, but the plan doesn't seem to fit properly as yet. I WANT GO STUDY IN THE US!!

past few days, have been in a very contemplative mood. all because of bobo chee. :p influence me then make me emo pulak. muahahaha.. undecided.. how? :x

if i own a camera, i would so want to go stalk lecturers and ask them to have a photograph with me. also to all my kawans kawans.

entering hmc, student council, leadership camp, MIS bed, HMC ball, psych colloquium, volleyball club, all the volleyball competitions, visit to Dominos with shelther home, experiments, research on autism and all other researches, counselling, play therapy, group processes, visit to old folks, out there finding out about taboos, ARUPS, tutoring, Dota charity competition and all other things have made me grow as a person.

christmas is coming. and my course is ending. a new beginning.

God Bless~
