Perseverence

Often I notice a unwanted trait of mine which pulverize the dream of salient. As I prepare myself for the upcoming exam I hope that I'm able to do away with the lack of perseverance which has lingered around for ages. I happen to chance upon a quote by a former British Prime Minister

"Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential. "
Winston Churchill

Hoping it would inspire me to posses a continuous effort in the academia and maintaining the vitality here I decided to make a post out of it.

Resurrection

I had celebrated 2 birthdays since the last time I wrote something. Therefore time has come for the vitality of the blog to return and hopefully it will sustain its vitality a little while longer this time around. Life has treated me fairly since with some enduring tests and some rewarding treats. Completed my pre-u in INTI Penang last year with a satisfying results I would say and hopefully maintain the quality in my future endeavors. After the Yuletide of 09, I took on the challenge of completing a pharmacy course which is still undergoing. After finishing semester 1 and with the EOS of semester 2 right around the corner I'm sure that I will prevail against the challenges that I took on.

Freedom

"For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others."

Nelson Mandela

Recent days witness the freedom of people harassed and assaulted. Artillery shells are flying all about, ammunition like sacarsism and critisism are selling like hot cakes. Everyone needs to be careful about the Howitzers manned by those warlords as the take no mercy in firing.

So are we still blessed with freedom?
Or has it desserted us?

New Year; New Environment…..

    Many things happened in 2008 that turn into memories that I know I'll cherish in the future. Last year I bid farewell to my secondary life and this I enter to the next stage of my life-tertiary studies. 2^nd of January was the orientation day at my new place of study. I arrive there and got myself enrolled at about 10 in the morning. After enrolling I suddenly found out plenty of my old school mates are taking the same course with me. In other words, this 10 months course would not be a bore. After the orientation, I went to get myself equipped with the books necessary for the course.

    5^th of January was the 1^st day of class and most of the class were boring cause what's taught were what's known. Besides that, after my 1-2 class I have to wait for 2 hours doing nothing there to wait for my next class Malaysian studies which is compulsory. By the way, I hate that subject cause its astonishing similar to history. The facilities in the campus were fine and most of the lecturers gave interesting lecture. Formerly I have to study for about 28 hours per week and currently I study nearly 33 hours per week. Eiks!! Extra 5 more hours in the lecture room……

    

December

    Long time since I last updated my blog. Many things happened since then. The trials result came out on the 4 of December and the results that I've obtain is fairly well-8 out of 11. Besides from receiving the results I also went out a few times to catch some movies such as Madagascar 2, Twilight, The day the earth stood still etc. Some of those movies are well filmed the others are just boring past time movies. Madagascar 2 disappoint me much, I was looking forward to hear more of the I like to move it song but this song only came up once in the starting part. Twilight was fairly done but the cast were perfect, handsome guys and pretty girls filled most of the cast. The ending part is done so allow the movie to have a part 2 but the way it has been done is a bit poor. The day the Earth Stood Still is a good movie to go for except the ending part which is much of a disappointment. It was a perfect disaster movie till the last 5 minutes of the show. The best disaster movie I've watch before is The Day After Tomorrow.

    Genting Highlands is 1 of the place I went after my last post. I went there with a few friends Wj, Zx, Ek , Zc and Kj. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights in the first world hotel. It was a lousy hotel but it is cheap. I, Ek and Wj shared a room together. Genting hasn't changed much since my last visit which is last year when I went there to catch a concert by Jolin Tsai. The first day we just hang around First World Hotel's Time's Square. We went and have a few game of pool and snooker there which is cheaper than our original choice which is bowling. After the games we went to play the arcade I spend about 40 ringgit playin arcades for the 3 days. After the arcades we decided that's enough for the day. The next day we went to the outdoor theme park. We played there from morning till lunch time then we went to Old Town to have lunch. It was ridiculous for Old Town to have a branch there which doesn't have most of the things offered in the menu. So some of us had some food the others didn't. After lunch we went around seeing plenty of people carry huge bears from games. Being red eyed from this we started to research on how to win at the games. But after a few tries and nearly an hour of research we concluded that we either need lady luck to be at our side or plenty of practice. We went to sit the monorail there next, we did outrageous thing on the monorail such as shouting out from the monorail. When we pass someone there is definitely sounds coming out from our cabin. Even when we passed through Time's Square where there's plenty of people. After the rides, we went back to our room and have some rest. After that we started gambling from dusk till dawn. Nearly 10 hours of baccarat game cost me about 10 ringgit. We retreat to bed at about 5:30a.m. and up and ready to leave Genting Highlands at about 12p.m. Our bus is around 4 so we hang around Time's Square to do some shopping. Finally at 9:30p.m. my journey to Genting Highlands end when I arrive home.

    

Ending

    When the invigilator collected our EST paper we were already very excited. That was the last paper for most of us even though I have another Prinsip Perakuanan paper on Monday. That morning I receive a call from Sy asking to go eat breakfast together. But I waited a quite awhile before he phone again and ask me why I'm not there. I was confused as I thought he were coming to fetch me to go eat breakfast together. At the and Sy came by to pick me up and join Lj and Wj for Dim Sum nearby.

    After the breakfast we when to school for the EST paper. After the paper Sy and Bear came to my place to bath & change and then we when to Gurney Plaza. We watch Madagascar yesterday, it was quite nice and humorous but it lack the song I like most about Madagascar – I like to move it. We went gurney with Lj Wj Jx Hk. We also met a lot of people there. After the show we went to play pool and went back at about 11:15 .

Half –way Through

    AM and moral yesterday was the half-way mark of my SPM. Add Maths was more harder than expected as rumors about the Add Maths paper of the SPM is going to be easy flew all around. But overall it was much more easier than the trial exam. After AM then most feared subject by me – Moral, cause I rarely pass this subject as I can't memorize the definitions of the nilai's. When I looked at the moral paper my mind when blank and that time I knew that my moral was a goner. I think a 4B is the best I can get for this subject. Chemistry is up next (tomorrow)
