Less than 3 weeks to sum2 and 5 weeks till EOS

The title says it all. The amount of workload I have to study is massive..Guess i'm not going to go out anytime soon..X_X

Sem 2 so far has been great. I've been filling myself with activities since the start of sem 2 and time passed by REALLY quickly. Well, I had my fun and now it's time to get down to studying hard. Soon..sem 2 will be over..And i'll get to see all my friends again! I cant wait to see my friends studying abroad that could make it back during the summer/winter break.

I've realised that IMU life has changed me although it's only been less than a year. I have no idea why but i've become more serious in a lot of issues. Not that it's a bad thing but maybe that's just part of life..growing up perhaps? =p I'm not as nuts/random/bubbly as I used to be. I'm not sure whether it's the stress level that's making me that way..hopefully so..>.<

Although I always feel happy, there are just stuffs inside my head that tries to lower my self-esteem most of the time. Sometimes I do wish I could share it with a close friend but I have yet to express everything kept inside me. Oh well, overall I'm satisfied with what i've done so far. =)

Time to study now..Zzz...

Robbery in Taman Maluri, Cheras and the security in Malaysia

Got this video from a forwarded e-mail. Please be really careful everyone when you drive your car inside..make sure the gate is closed before you come out of your car. To rate Malaysia's safety from 1-10, I'd give it a 1. It's been bad a loong time ago and it's only getting worse. Every single day you'd read of people getting robbed/raped/theft. Recently, 4 people were only seeking shelter because of the rain. There were 3 guys and a girl. Two indians came, robbed them and took the girl away and raped her. Then apparently at the car park where the girl was raped, another lady who was driving witnessed the incident. The two guys robbed her off her car and left both of them behind. I heard the news from my mum and she just got really worried especially since i'm always driving around. Guess I have to start coming home earlier.

Last time, you can't go out alone when it's dark. Now, you can get robbed in bright daylight! Last time, it is okay if you're in a group of friends walking outside..but that's not the case now..BECAUSE the robbers will just rob ALL of ya and you're lucky if they don't decide to rape(especially for girls). SERIOUSLY, It is not safe to walk alone/group or whatever anywhere in Malaysia until they start improving security. Anyone who jogs outside in the morning can get raped/killed. Anyone who walks to their carpark can get robbed/raped/kidnapped/killed. When you're driving, they will puncture your tyres and wait for the opportunity to rob ya. When you're going home, they will follow you home. And now, you can't even be in a shelter while it's raining.

I am so disappointed with the security in Malaysia especially in KL. I seriously don't know what the police force is doing. Honestly, I think I only see a police patrol car patrolling like ONCE every RARE while..sometimes NEVER. The most recent time i saw MANY police cars and motorcycles around was when they were escorting a VIP to a place and this caused a huge jam when i was returning from IMU. I easily counted at least 20 policeman who were escorting the VIP and at least 5 policeman stopping the traffic to allow the VIP to travel. C'mon STEP UP YOUR WORK MAN! You were suppose to put fear into criminals but I don't think they're even afraid of ya..instead they are even more daring nowadays! clearly shows that they think the police force is a joke. I think the police force is a joke too.

For the time being while security is still in a mess, I'd wanna advise everyone to be careful and be observant. Try not to put yourself in unnecessary risks. If it can happen to someone else, it can happen to you. Take care.

Just a quick update about myself

I recently had my phone fixed because it just couldn't start suddenly..it just...DIED. Well, I lost all my imu contacts and many more because i think all the contacts were saved on my phone. Just had the phone right before my imu course started. Anyways..I'm quite sure i'll be able to get back all the numbers once again but what actually saddens me was the fact that all my msges were gone..=(

Some of the msges were very dear and important to me and they're all gone now and there is no way whatsoever i can get em back again. Well, guess there's nothing i can do about but smile! =) not like i can do anything by becoming sad over this situation though I hopelessly wished i could get back the msges..

Entering IMU for the 4th week, it's been great so far and my timetable is FULL OF ACTIVITIES easily until mid-march when i'll have to start studying really hard for my summatives as well as my EOS. I used to be stressed up back in nov/dec when i had full of activities and exams to think about but things have kinda changed back then. I kinda feel that i can manage my stress better or i simply changed my thinking..which is great =) (or maybe the exam stress haven't kicked in yet..=p) I actually feel happy doing everything i'm doing now because i just enjoy it! During a recent talk about why are we unhappy..out of a possible 7..i actually rated my happiness level at 6 when i thought about it while many were saying 4-5. There are some minor bumps here and there but i'm really satisfied and happy right now =)
Hopefully i don't come out with another post about being unhappy anytime soon! =D
Take care! Love ya!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all!

Yep, I'm only saying Happy New Year to everyone now! Though i did wish most people on my phone..=) To start this new year with a bang! I shall have a new year resolution to be a more serious person and to do more active and beneficial activities for society. It was just last week that i did my exam..though i didn't do as well as i wanted to..I am satisfied after all the stress level i had before..Much relaxed now though. I have to say that my christmas was great! Lots of gifts for me and i shall remember them by putting it all on this blog..=D. The good thing about christmas for me is not having to pay for anything or buy any gifts(only applies to family) and still get the benefits of getting gifts and having a good meal!

My new year celebration wasn't that great..Just celebrated at The Curve but then it was so crowded..i couldn't hear the music properly and i think i was still in the serious exam mood to have any fun whatsoever..sigh. The fireworks were spectacular though..the weird thing about this fireworks is it kept on making you clap your hands..SERIOUSLY. It's like the fireworks ended..then everyone clap their hands..then the fireworks came back again..then it ended..then everyone clap their hands and go YAY! then the firewroks came back again..It happened for approximately 4 times i think..It was just tooo long. and it started raining debris on me but i didn't care..It's the NEW YEAR!

Recently after a few chats and some thinking, I realised how immature I still am. Still takes time for me to grow up i guess. Thanks for knocking some sense into me again..you know who you are.. =) I finally understood everything that you meant and whatever you say is in fact true after I gave it some real thought. Sorry for my lack of maturity and understanding. Just so many things i want to say but It's best kept to myself this time around. Just hope i get the best out of this..hopefully becoming a more mature person. =)

Well, with all these said and a reminder to myself, It's time to celebrate! Come over to my house and we can have a big celebration! Anything you want here also got..i think =) except transportation. ALL THE BEST EVERYONE! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT YEAR!

My Christmas gifts this year that i'll remember =)

A cute flipping Dog and a beautiful card!

A nice tie and cuff links!

PS3 with 6 games!

Last but not least, A Stressball that looks like a bread
and smells like one too! YUMMY!!

Bad Weeks..Noone to blame but myself..

It had probably been at least 2 weeks of being stressful and i think my stress has been reduced by at least 50%..other 50% is for the upcoming summatives and EAMSC. My worse day was last thursday when i crashed my car. Here's the story..
I was helping out by carrying tables and chairs for the NHSD..If you know me well.. I never seem to get enough sleep and i was extra tired because of Infinity Milers the previous day. When I finished transferring tables and chairs..I just had to drive home and get a good looong nap. The drive home is approx 40minutes and that just adds to my fatigue. So, i guess you know what happens next..I dozed off while driving and smashed my car into a lorry and a Kia Spectra. I closed my eyes for 5 sec and the next thing i knew i smashed..
The biggest mistake I did was i should've stopped the car at the side of the road and at least take a 15min nap but instead i chose to get home as quickly as possible so i could sleep for as long as i could. Well, The accident wasn't as serious as it could've been. It was raining heavily and i was on a highway. Coincidentally, all the cars were slow-moving and my car didn't skid when i braked after i knocked into the car.
The moment i got off the car..i apologised profusely to the lady. I was all soaking wet and my phone turned nuts after i took down the lady's number. She was really nice by the way. After discussing, We left and I agreed to call her. In the end, my parents had to settle the matter at the police station and it took them 4 hours! I couldn't make it because i had uni the next day..
At that time, I was already stressful thinking about whether i could catch up with my studies as I will be busy with the NHSD on Fri, Sat and Sun and I had tuition on the night of the accident which i really should relax and put my mind at ease at that time. Oh well, It's over and i'm really okay to talk about it because it could've been much worse and this had taught me a great lesson. The NHSD is finally over and i still have to catch up with my studies..=(..But I believe I can! I'm starting to become more and more optimistic =)

Lesson 1:
When you're tired, drive to the side of the road or somewhere safe and rest..Never put yourself or others at risk.

Lesson 2:
Bring an umbrella as you never know when it's going to rain.
