UM election

morning wake up call...the announcement that the election has come to the voting day...
get free makan after voting.
Opposition (Pro Mahasiswa) put leaflet on what to bring and how the voting system is done.
bring Matrix card.
enter the room, manual attendance (show matrix card) -they cross out your name on the paper.
Computerized attendance (fill in ic number n select HADIR,) -computer generated 6 digit pin number (write it down on the UM stick it note and take the note with you, click OK and DONE)
Walk to the Voting Computer (Fill in matrix card and 6 digit pin)
There was a NOT RESPONDING lag for 1 minute, then rules page of the time limit, 3 min and 2 min for Umum and faculty. Any longer than the given time, your vote is undi rosak. Vote 9 General and 2 faculty candidate. Tak sempat read finish, the page refresh again...[aiya, if like this will my vote be considered undi rosak?]
then Fill in matrix card and 6 digit number cause refresh page again.[haiz, that's why la, e-voting sucks]
read the rules finish then click I ACCEPT/UNDERSTAND
then general candidate list...no picture, just names and number...aiyo, how la? i thought vote for 1 only, rupa-rupanya vote for 9 candicates...haiz...so i only vote for 7...minumum 1 candidate, maximum 9 candidate... The lime limit was crazy loh...Feel stressed by the time limit...felt like doing a test, KM test with time limit. Click DONE.
Done..my faculty got no election so i only can vote for general. Walk out, take food coupon which entitled me for a hotdog.
Apparently in college 12, they got a RM5 coupon, can buy whatever food or drink they want...LOLS.

results out at 6.30pm...i had test so couldn't join the action.
official result out about 9pm...

Pro M won all 9 general seats and the margin was 4000, woah!
if i'm not mistaken 80% of the faculty seats was won by Pro Mahasiswa.

quite cool...
oh, by the way, Did I miss out the story of death threats and disappearance of a candidate?

http://www.bernama.com/bernama/v5/newsgeneral.php?id=565230

Oh, also apparently last night, there was some protest or mogok...i didn't know about it cause i was busy studying for my CPR practical test and my health & fitness test...chap 1 to chap 10...Aiya, what a wrong time to have tests, how i wanna join the action and politics? :P

the elections are held every year...that means once in 2 sem.
Last semester the leadership was held by Penggerak Mahasiswa, this sem and next sem will be Pro Mahasiswa, so let's see the difference. Compare and contrast, see and experience which party did better? To be fair, just measure by a semester only because I only "tasted" one semester from Penggerak's side and it was the 2nd part of the year only that i experienced, meaning they had the sem before i entered Uni to be established so on my 3rd sem only will i start comparing the difference...give them a sem's time to get established first.

who knows maybe the next election will be won by independents fully..haha

the question i ask is, will the candidates bring about changes or is it a joke? Is the Uni making students think the students are in control...Can they bring their manifesto into reality?

To all my stpm friends who got their results today...it's just a piece of paper, another exam result in your life...it's not the end of the world yet, there are many more chapters of your life to be written. I'm sure you know that STPM results is the end of the road but it is the beginning of a new phase in life...for those on the path of tertiary education, life will be totally different, say bye bye to tuitions..hehe.

politic in UM elections

As some of you know, It's the UM election time now...I'm sure you saw the news on Star newspaper and NTV 7 night news...Students damaging the door of Kompleks PerdanaSiswa, Mainly it's because of the disqualification of 8 candidates...
for more info on the door incident, read:
http://thestar.com.my/education/story.asp?file=/2011/2/20/education/8097795&sec=education

http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/2/18/nation/8091918&sec=nation

The pro-Mahasiswa team is known to be anti-establishment while its rivals known as Penggerak Mahasiswa is pro-establishment.


Protesting against the disqualification of eight candidates – including two independents – pro-Mahasiswa students organised a rally outside PROF Datuk Dr Rohana Yusof's office [the deputy vice-chancellor  student affairs and alumni at Universiti Malaya] at the Perdanasiswa complex, demanding the reinstatement of the candidates.




e-voting, e-nominations, e-appeals and e-objections...not credible la...

e-voting is a controversial issue before and it still is in UM, It was introduced in 2009/2010 without discussion or agreement nor democratic .

our votes are no longer kept secret and no one know for sure if the system is fair...as there had been 4 cases where the credibility of e-voting is questioned. 1st case: a few series of disturbance on the computer voting system at several places...what happened during these disturbance, was the voting tempered?

2nd case: computer position where others can see your vote

3rd case: computer positioned near guards which disturbed voters and made them uncomfortable

4th case: Wrongful information about voters in the system which made several voters not eligible to vote and the missing information on several qualified voters thus they also not qualified to vote anywhere.

Discussions and explanation from anti-establishment party were denied ruthlessly. Haish, University authorities also not fair one...ish ish ish...7 Candidates who won already was disqualified...wah, What's the use of the election then?

Ugly SPIT and rumours and the use of religion to spoil other candidate's reputation...exactly like in MALYAYSIAN POLITICS...smear people's name and image. Anti-establishment party used this type of approach to win votes? Haish, i'm so disappointed...

you see the words they said "Sanggupkah anda selaku mahasiswa islam menyokong calon begini?" and "mana letaknya ISLAM pada mereka? ISLAMkah anda yang mahu menyokong calon sekular begini?"

wah, so teruk la, campaign until like this!

anyways, tomorrow is the voting day and tomorrow also i got 2 tests to sit for...I'm not gonna vote by party...Vote by manifesto and qualifications and credibility lor...

One faculty candidate and one general candidate.

Woah, campaigning really takes up a lot of money...banner, poster, rafia string, cello-tape. the betting money....crazy! all ptptn money gone to waste...hope they recycle their papers after the election...it created a lot of rubbish everywhere.

I wish they had a big board which all the candidate post they manifesto but one A4 size poster a candidate only...at least in this way, it's not a popularity win but a win by what they are fighting or standing up for.

chap goh mei

We celebrate CNY for 15 days...today is CHAP GOH MEI. The last day of the celebration. Every chap goh mei marks the first full moon of the year :)

There is a tradition where young single ladies will go and throw oranges into the sea, river or from on top the bridge and with the hope of finding their true love. PS: If you are thinking of doing this, don't forget to Write your name and hp number or email on the orange...haha.

All the single boys waiting for the throw...

Recently my mom has been asking me if I got anything for Valentines...even today...Then only I ter-remember this tradition which is on chap goh mei...haha XD
So to all you people, I know I'm 21 years old already but I won't throw any oranges into any river,sea, from a bridge just yet...I wanna concentrate on my studies and only after my degree will I start thinking of throwing an orange..LoL.

start of Spore 15s League

Last saturday was the beginning of the singapore rugby 15s league.

so there's gonna be a match every saturday till 12 march...home and away.

our first game was against Bucks and the match was at Republic Polytechnic,woodlands, singapore.

Initially the weather was quite thundering so we thought we might not be able to play at all!

Oh ya, Apai was the only "tour virgin"...she wasn't really treated as a tour virgin though.

Anyways, we started the game at 5.30pm and the rain had almost subsided.

This is my first time playing as a Outside Center, usually i play winger. Most of the back line played new positions so it was a new experience for all of us. It was a bit more pressuring to be a Outside Center because there is more responsibility compared to a winger's job. Next, no longer do I stay at the wing, but now i'm in the center of the field and there's more ball action aka more pressure.

I got scolding from Wei for not knowing when, where and how to guard dog. I wasn't aware when to realign and when to be in a straight line. Besides that, Wei told me not to mark people during guard dog cause i should close the gap first! Wei also reminded me many times on the field how to rush up in a line when we are in defense...it took me about the whole 1st half of the game to instill it in my brain that i must run outside shoulders to avoid the opponents from passing the ball. 

first half ended with 3-0, Bucks scored a penalty goal.

when I received the ball from Bibi after she looped, i guess i wasn't deep enough so i couldn't run all the way in front of the forwards, instead I got stuck behind the forwards...yikes...

I mistackled 2x and that cause Bucks to score 2 tries..My fault! Ish, i must really learn how to tackle la.

Bucks score 3 tries altogether, converted 2 goals in the second half. Thus ending the game with a score of 22-0. 

This is the first time we played all locals only in our team.

Apai did very good on her first game...Hani did a great job too.

Halina managed to throw straight balls in every line out. Overall, I think it was a good game and everyone did their best.

assignment cram

whoa, it's the assignment craze right now. my time is crammed with assignments now.
6 assignments to complete asap(as soon as possible)

time not enough la... :(

yesterday i went to Pikki's farewell...my minister of education is going off to Aussie to continue her path in education....

feb

FEDERAL TERRITORY DAY! Feb 1st... new anthem which has a much faster beat but I still prefer the original song.

CNY! Ever since my grandparents died, it has been my family tradition to go up to Genting Highlands on Chinese New Year eve...

When I was younger, I liked the arcade games but now I feel a bit bored of arcade games already la.

So, what to do then? I'm still under aged to enter the casino so what me and my siblings usually do is go to any shop like coffeebean or starbucks then the eldest buy drinks for us then we chat and reconnect. Mini Reunion.

The journey to Genting and coming back from Genting Highland itself is fun...we'll be joking, making fun, solving riddles and telling interesting experiences in their lives..

Owh, ALL my SIBLINGS are BACK this year! SABAH, JOHOR, MELAKA & KL.

I also think This is the first time my siblings and my mom slept in the same room...that's 6 person in a room...cool! 

This year people whom i didn't expect sms-ed me to wish me HAPPY BIRTHDAY...

"u kan my friends..I akan ingat birthday kawan-kawan I"

Whoa, feel so terharu.

And by the way, YES, i did hide my birthday in FB...Why do you wanna know when is my birthday when I don't even remember when's yours? I don't even bother to remember la.

I went to Ms Wong's (my form 6 MUET teacher) house today...met a lot of current form 6 who knew me...Why bother remembering me when I myself don't bother to know your name also?

Owh well, There's not much to say about February.

fulfill ur bet day

Ok, I went to the optician, he said can't really do anything about the light disturbance. At the moment, I do not need a specs yet unless I feel eye strain or watery eyes or headaches...Nah, I don't feel none of those yet. So check my eyes again after a year loh. Really glad that I don't need specs cause firstly it cost money, secondly it kinda spoils my image and thirdly it would be tough doing sports with spectacles on.

Lonely Spectacles, LoL

I only have a few more days to fool around cause after this, I would officially be an adult! Oh Gosh, 21 years old this year. I guess I gotta start acting like 21 and stop behaving so childish and immature. Be a women of little words and stop playing around with words? Stop Lame Jokes? Bullying and sarcasm are another part of my life that may need to be demolished soon...

Today, I made Robin Hood aka Chandrakumar, a 11 years old boy fulfill the bet which he lost! For those who didn't know, ROBIN and I made a bet before I started University life: Whoever fails any subject, test, exam, quiz will have to RUN up and down the JALAN JEJAWI ten times non stop. Ten times each fail, so if I fail 2 exams and 1 quiz then I will have to run 30x non stop. At the moment, the bet will last till 2014.
Robin failed his music exam last year and so today he had to fulfill the bet aka face the punishment.

Background info on Robin Hood, he is a straight A student, quite brilliant but lazy to study. Only concentrates on IMPORTANT subjects, confident he will never fail in education.

Sok Sok

Last year my favourite uncle died. I wanted to attend his funeral but couldn't because of many reasons...

So, this year cannot celebrate CNY (Chinese new year). I don't know my uncle's name but among all my uncles he was the one I loved the most. I called him "Sok Sok"...The uncle that let me do anything and the dearest relative to me. I still remember all the memories with him and my younger bro, Prince.

He was there at the back of my classroom when I had art exam in standard 1(Primary school), I even remember he smiling at me while I drew a big apple on my art paper. I was so happy while drawing that apple because I knew after school I was going to have a really fun time. We went to the park where I played and played so much. 

Sok Sok always took me and Prince out to playgrounds, we would play and then eat ice cream and drink really really sweet drinks like LIVITA! LoL, small children drinking Red Bull, can you imagine how active we would transform into?

Sok Sok also frequently brings me and Prince out for JOY RIDES! In the car when he still had both legs, in handicap motorbike and bicycle when he amputated his leg because of Diabetes...I'm not sure about Prince, but I always look forward to CNY every year because I can go cycling and joyrides in Sok Sok's handicap motorbike :)

This year's CNY will be different without Sok Sok...

I remember getting lost with my uncle one CNY! I was traveling with my uncle on a motorbike while Prince traveled with my other relatives by car. Thank God, I recognised a landmark and so we didn't go to the family dinner but had our own dinner elsewhere then headed back home, that night was the night that I found out my younger bro loved me more than i loved him because he actually cried for me. When Prince found out I got lost and didn't make it for the dinner, he shed tears fearing for my safety and all. He then lose his appetite and insist to tapau some food for me.

I n EYE prob

I have EYE problems...
I cannot see far...can't recognize people until they come close.
Always seeing signboards wrongly but luckily i'm quite familiar with the place so i know what the signboard is suppose to say.

Lights...I don't like going out at night because the lights hurt my eyes. Lamp posts, car signal and front light of the car, it all hurts my eyes. I can't see light as a whole(left pic), instead light looks like a star...there's lines coming out all the time(right pic)

Oh, this means, i will not be able to drive at night la...if i ever get a driving license

Diam

Apa yang sudah terjadi dengan saya?
Kerana mulut, badan binasa tetapi dalam keadaan saya, badan saya tidak binasa sebaliknya kawan-kawan merajuk lalu beri silent treatment. Kenapa mulut saya terlalu laser? Saya semakin kejam dan jahat, hampir setiap perkataan yang terkeluar dari mulut saya boleh menyakitkan hati dan emosi orang.
Sekarang belum sampai satu bulan lagi tetapi saya telah mencalar dan mengguris perasaan sekurang-kurangnya 2 pelajar UM.

Saya perlu belajar diam, tutup mulut dan hanya bercakap apabila perlu.
Baiklah, itu akan menjadi sasaran saya bermula daripada sekarang sehingga akhir Februari.

Kita akan lihat sama ada perubahan ini mampu memperbaiki keadaan keruh ini atau tidak...

roomie2

Today's post will be on the Changes in Uni lifestyle or more specifically the changes in my roomies and me...
As time passes, changes takes place...

Akiko is now more aggressive than last year, she hits, slaps and bends people's finger...OUCH!
She thinks she's playing but sometimes it shows lack of manners...and if she doesn't change, someday someone might say to her "Your mom didn't teach you manners ah?"

Last year i said i could fight back but i didn't want to...that was last year. This year things changed, I am no longer able to fight back...i guess i left my fighting spirit behind...I'm a weakling.
This year i sort of developed a habit of reading at night.


Fiona is louder this year...last year her voice was much softer but this year her volume became more higher...

Next thing is my timetable :
monday afternoon and night,
tuesday morning and evening,
wednesday morning, evening and night.

violin class on friday afternoon and sports after that.
saturday and sunday goes for PALAPES LAUT aka reserve navy and softball...

that means my rest day is THURS only! Rugby in the evening...

0645 to 1900

Palapes aka reserve navy training.

Order: Be in 5th college at 6.45am.
When we reached there, nobody was there even at 7am...muster and waiting patiently while wondering if our senior and junior midshipmen were playing a fool on us. Standing there like dummies till 7.45am then we finally saw our junior midshipmen arrive. Our Senior midshipmen arrived at 8am...

by the way...now we are still cadets officers, when we enter our 3rd semester then we are promoted to Junior midshipmen and on the 5th semester we are promoted to Senior midshipmen. Then after the 6th semester is completed we will graduate into subby or Acting Sub Lieutenant or in malay Leftenan Muda. 

In this post i will refer to Senior Midshipmen as Senior and Junior midshipmen as Junior.

The muslims had aerobics then a ceramah related to their religion.
The non muslims were sent off to the Reserve Officer Training Unit (ROTU) Navy Head-quarter's of UM and help out in the cleaning the office till late afternoon then we had a break of 20 minutes for lunch then we joined the muslims after their ceramah. They or WE were getting punishment for not memorizing all our senior and junior's full name and soldier number...

Soldier number or nombor tentera is like their 2nd IC...a bit senseless right? asking people to memorize your ic number?

anyways, after that, we cleaned the HQ storerooms till 6pm then walk back to 5th college and "played" volleyball till 7pm. Thank God that it started to drizzle so they had to stop or not the event will go till dark.


Tomorrow we still got PALAPES...we're gonna do sports training from the morning, I wonder what time will it end? Then after that I got softball practise at 3pm. Giler tak gila?

bleep test

My first bleep test result was  level 5.7 during rugby training
2nd bleep test during UM interview for sports management course was level 6.6
3rd bleep test for rugby national team to the qualifying round to Asian Games at Guangzhou 2010, level 8.3
4th, programme Wellness by Pusat Sukan UM...for fun and fitness...level 8.3 again! :'(
No improvement loh XC

Today I went for UM's FREE violin class. We learnt how to hold the violin bow today. Lecturer was Dr Lee, she said I need to learn to relax my hand...If I wanna continue then i must buy Violin wor...about rm300. I got another choice, fill in a form and loan a violin for a few months then buy one...Err, I don't know la whether wanna continue or not...should I?

clayton kashuba's designs rocks!

new n first

 Hey hey, here I am.
New Year, New Semester, New Hope, New Beginning, New Chapter and New Day, New Experiences, New Relationships, New Subjects...

so what's been up lately? It's once again the starts of NEW experiences...First times...

Shima got married...Shima from the Dingoes...
Walking by faith to her cocktail party at Ritz Carlton KL..I just took the monorail to Jalan Imbi and then just jalan-jalan by following my feelings then I reached Jalan Imbi Chapel...it was behind Ritz Carlton. Cool!

My first time going for a cocktail party. Secondly, My first time dancing.

Next is My first time going out with my Chinese course mates for a movie.

Birthday girl in the middle, she's also a 4 flat student. Tor Phi Nn. Next to her is Lai Kai Yan.

Fourth is My first time going out to celebrate my course mate's birthday! We went to the Garden's to celebrate, karaoke! Oh, meaning it's also my Fifth First: My first time going Karaoke.

Karaoke!

Sixth,  My first time sitting in a different seat in class
which is also my first time sitting on the other side of class!

Seventh, today's gonna be my first time ponteng class...
Not really ponteng if the lecturer don't come right? So far only 1 subject that we have not met the lecturer yet.

I mean we got the timetable but there's no lecturer's name and so far all 3 class, he or she hasn't entered class, maybe it's because in the first week usually our seniors don't enter class and on the second week, it's add and drop week or maybe we really don't have any lecturer for this subject yet? By the way, the subject is Injury in Sports and First Aid.

OH NO! I have number 8 because The day that I decided not to come was the day the LECTURER finally decided to turn up and the lecturer was none other than our very own PENGARAH PUSAT SUKAN aka DIRECTOR of SPORTS CENTER! Haiz, so anyway number 8 is My First time skipping class intentionally!

joke went wrong

ah, i meant to tease Akiko and Jodie but it turned out as a joke that went wrong.
I was quite surprised to find out that they didn't know what it meant...and when they finally found out through another person, the moment was gone so they misunderstood. Haiz.


What is the best known American Sign Language sign? The I Love You sign is probably the best known sign. It is an easily recognized sign


The ILY is a sign from American Sign Language which, as a gesture, has moved into the mainstream. It is used in the United States and other Americanized countries. It originated in American Sign Language as a combination of the letters I, L and Y (I Love You). The sign is a very informal way of expressing a number of positive emotions ranging from general esteem to love for the recipient of the sign.

this is "I"

this is "L"

this is "Y"


therefore combination looks like spiderman or a sign rockers use...

roomies day out

Ahh, a new year and a new semester in UM...

On the 30th dec 2010,
My room-mates...Akiko and Fiona aka Yen Ping...they came up with a plan to check-in our hostel aka residential college together as roomies on sunday(2nd Jan) at 3pm.

1st jan 2010
I sms-ed Fiona, "So, can we check-in and put our stuffs in the room first then come down and wait for Akiko tomorrow?"
The reply I got was "NO, we meet in-front of the office with our bags then we check in together, all 3 of us."
In my mind I was like, haiz, so mafan la..

And so on sunday, 2nd Jan 2010 as mentioned, we met at 3pm in front of the college office and guess what?

The OFFICE closed at 3pm sharp! How efficient la, our college staffs, really on time and disciplined...

All 3 of us with No KEY at all...so, what else la? Illegal squatters loh. Throw away our pride and ask friends if we can tumpang in their room for the night. Host number 1 agreed to put up with us and our laptops.
We put our important things in their room and then went out. People cleaning their room mah. Fiona felt like going out somewhere and coming back only at night, Spontaneously we decided to go out loh. Room-mates day out together.

We took lrt putra and monorail, ate outside and walked around and bought stationery then took a joyride on the lrt: Went all the way to Kelana Jaya and all the way to Gombak and then back to Universiti...That's like at least 2 hours of chatting in the train. LoL.We had yum cha session then reached college about 1am. By that time, host number 1 were sleeping already and so Host number 2 agreed to host us for a night.
What a way to start college life.

Sorry, none of us brought a camera and we are not cam-whores so no picture/s were taken...

SBNA

This year 2010 was a year of guys coming after me. When I reject them they say I jual mahal pula. Then ada pula khabar angin yang I seorang pengkid...

Don't say you love me, You don't even know me...

My status is SINGLE but NOT AVAILABLE ok...

2 principles:
I'm in University to learn! When I was small, my guardian taught me if I want to study, cannot have BF. I don't want a BF yet, University is for studying.

I don't want to get hurt, relationship is not for play-play. If I get into a relationship means I'm serious, I will only get into a relationship if I intend to get married to that person. Don't get into a relationship if you don't intent to make it last.

hair

My hair is kinda messy now. I'm thinking of cutting it much shorter...maybe like boycut? super short... But don't know how i'll look then..hehe.

I never really liked Long hair...always wanted super short hair...
When i was young i even thought of going bald.

oh well, it's just a thought..too afraid to make it come reality.

reserve navy A. C. T

19 dec, a day after the last rugby match...7am I received a phone call, QUICKLY come to markas PALAPES LAUT Universiti Malaya. Ok, Ok, journey to Pelabuhan Klang, Pulau Indah. Destination Kapal Diraja Sri Klang aka KD Sri Klang or KDSI. It's not a boat la but something like a HQ i guess.
WE went there to attend our ACT (annual continous training). Palapes Laut UPM, and UiTM Shah Alam were also there. Our status Pegawai Kadet. Officer cadet.

room delegation, 6 ppl in a 4 person bed room. our basin had no water. I'm falling sick cause of the continous previous activeness (12 hour malacca on the 11-12 dec, rugby training on 14 dec, rugby game on 16 dec, rugby match on 18 dec and now reserve navy training from 19th dec to 27 dec)

makan very little for dinner cause the food portion was not enuf for 81 officer cadets.
What we are going to learn in classes are "naval terms and etiquette and ranks" "organization and role of TLDM(Royal Navy of malaysia)" "ceromonies-sunset,color and piping", "semanship-knots and flag" "communication-morse code, flag communication" "marching" "history of tldm".
3 division: Thana, Zain and Wahab. I'm in Zain.
Always muster and go everywhere in troops aka division.
muster (A gathering, especially of troops, for service, inspection, review, or roll call) at 8pm..sing songs and pep talk.
Alpha routine-> meaning whenever we are under the sky, cadets must RUN.

release to sleep at 12am. Where we all clean our room, prepare for the next day. Left shoulder and right arm pain, maybe from carrying bag.
I was the only non muslim girl.

Monday 20th dec.
early morning activity (EMA) at 5.50am.
Jogging, push up, sit up, jumping jacks, star jump, squat jump and many other exercises till 6.50am.
Breakfast at 7am
8am colors aka watches aka raising and lowering the pennant (something like a flag) and morning inspection.
Kawad kaki or Marching class at 9am to 11am with a 30 minutes rest in between.

Another Class.
Evening activity(EA) at 5.15pm. Exercises, can be running to the jetty too.
Dinner-mess etiquette at 6pm-7pm
Prepare and clean room, and standardize layout for Night rounds. They check everywhere, even under and behind cupboards, in between door knob, curtain railing, window slides, toilet must be dry, every night no one escapes, everyone also will get pick up on something...It's hard to standardize with 81 officer cadets. Drawers and Cupboards must be empty only can lay out PT (physical training uniform), everything else must be secured (hidden) somewhere else. (Cannot secure in your room)
p/s Secure means hide.
8pm Night rounds.
Punishment and lecturing and OOD(officer of the day) intro and give briefing of the next day, detail of who is in duty the next day: Galley party(kitchen work), DCOD(duty cadet of the day).
Usually Galley party is busy the whole day, cannot enter class, super tired, midnight also not yet done.

UM students got scolding in the room by UPM subby( Acting Sub Lieutenant) for being lurus bendul (too honest).

Today is the open for UM 1st yr students registration for next semester. 20th dec to 26 dec. Unfortunately the PALAPES LAUT ACT is from 19 dec to 27 dec. How to register? Ish ish ish...
Um students get back phone and ask family or friends at 1 am till 5am to ask others to help register for us here. 8am must give back phone. 5.50am is EMA.

TUES 21st dec, I became an LDOD (light duty of the day) meaning I am sick or cannot do normal or heavy duty. LDOD till the camp ended. My right arm hurts and DR Stella's letter of not being able to do push up or weight training.

And So the LDOD club started. When others did heavy exercises, we did marching or dancing or just moving lightly and walking around in a troop. Among the LDOD's membership were paralysed arm, leg bone crack, back bone misposture, waist pain, and so on.

side roll...many boys threw out aka vomit, only 1 girl vomited. Motivation Speeches by high rank officers during classes and scolding for not obeying the "Mark of Respect".
Punishment all the time...

Well, for the next few days the schedule is the same.
EMA
BREAKFAST
COLORS
MARCHING CLASS
MORNING BREAK
CLASS
LUNCH

DINNER
NIGHT ROUNDS

Everyday we were released to sleep after 12am but then we had to prepare for the next day meaning majority only sleep on an average of 2 hours.

Christmas eve the non muslims got a 20 hour leave from after 5pm. Left to ktm Port Klang to KL sentral and back home! Yay1 dinner with family and my best Christmas present 8 HOURS OF SLEEP! KTM back to Pelabuhan Klang, must be back at 4pm. More than 1 hour la, tix less than rm 5.

Post Christmas, EXAM day. Interesting exam condition.
Watch Malaysia vs Indonesia then preparation of presentation, and then Karaoke and then pack up and sleep. Galley had only 1 hour of sleep. Buh byes everyone! miss ya and take care ok!

Go back home! My mummy was so happy that my pointer is 4.o.
I feel like I had a really blessed Christmas and year.
Registration, my faculty(sports centre) registered for me :)

fyi: S means Pass. There's no grade for Kemahiran Maklumat, just pass or fail.

rugby with HK

on the 16th dec, The Dingoes had a friendly match with the Hong Kong Dragons...Rugby Club la. 15s game. It was ok, we played a better game in the second half. We tried our best but their players were fast and strong that we couldn't even score a try. The game ended with 41-0 i think.

On the 18th dec, there was another 15s rugby game with Hong Kong but this time as national team. It was a tough game, and just like before we failed to score a try.Maybe We lack in stamina and fitness...They did a lot of hands off. But i must admit that it wasn't my best performance this year.
The last match of the year.

1st Malacca 12 hour walk

1st Malacca 12hour walk!

Why did I even enter it? Well, when I was in secondary school, I heard about the 24 hour walk in Genting Highlands and I so wanted to go but tak cukup syarat aka Only 21 years old and above la...I promised myself, when i get the chance, I must go for it. I was really looking forward to that day.registration

Now I'm 20 and I heard about the Malacca 12 hour walk. So what else la? Go for it!
My aim was to finish 50km in 12 hours.
1 round is 1 km.
My first time joining an athletic event outside KL. Thus many first for me.
First time travelling almost alone (prince also came), first time talking to so many strangers (asking how to get to A-Famosa or St Paul's Hill from Melaka sentral)

anyway, it was fun la.
Some pros gave tips like, don't eat or you'll become sleepy and have 2 sets of shoes and ect.

I walked the first round in my normal speed which took me 12 minutes.
The 2nd round was fast, it was 8 minutes.
The roads were not so even, i almost fell and i saw many people fall down.
There were results every 2 hours.
We started the event at 8pm.

at 10pm, I did 15 rounds

at 12am, i did 28 rounds but 3 rounds disqualified (the marshal said i was jogging)

Wah, I was quite sad when i found out that 3 km was lost just like that, so i decided not to go fast anymore. I don't want my effort going to waste so I don't want to risk it by going fast. Normal walk all the way.
2am 36 round (minus 3 = 33)
4am 46 km (minus 3 = 43km)
6am 55km (minus 3 = 52km)
8am 63km (minus 3 = 60km)

Prince walking

I reached my target of 50 valid rounds aka 53km minus 3 disqualified round in 9 hours and 7 minutes.

I really felt happy I didn't get anymore disqualified rounds. Just 3 only for the 12 hours.

Anyway I got 19th position among 216 women. Actually if i didn't get the disqualified for 3 rounds, i would get 18th. Anyways i got rm 70. Ok la it covered the registration form :)

SSP tale goes on

Ah, my second appointment with our Dr Stella. Supraspinatus (SSP) story continues.
You should see her reaction when I told her about Friday's post test.
In the post test, I did machine weight bench press cause we had to find out our maximum repetitive something...basically wanna see what's our max in bench press la. Mine was 46kg.

Compulsory to do it ma...University core subject. Basic Exercise Science.this is a bench press.

Oh...Dr Stella was like...You're not suppose to do that! You cannot do Pumping aka push up and absolutely NO weight training as well till the next appointment.

My next appointment in on the 11th of Jan of 2011.
"Oh, it's 5 one's: 11/1/11, I like this date", She's a really friendly and funny doctor la.

Dr Stella taught me some new exercises to strengthen my SSP...
"Don't push yourself, take it easy. Don't do these exercises that i taught you more than 3 times a week ok!"

seriously, her advise is sooo un-sportish.
Come on, see the tag line of
100+ "Out do yourself"
Nike "Just do it"
Adidas "Impossible is nothing"

My physiotherapist said I must do the exercises that she taught me regularly.

what LA?

My dear friend, Melissa Wong said I always use the word "La" LAH...haha
so i decided to do a post with almost no "la" just like this LOH.
AIYAH, you think I cannot MEH? I very the clever OLEDY...
You see, like this also can WAN MAH!
Malaysians don't only use "LAH", we have many other MANGLISH word to use LEH...
By the way HOR, Manglish means Malaysian English LIAO.
NAH, like this OK WHAT!
HA I so TERRER right? You can or not?
Who said I ACTSY? I'm not trying to ACTION here WEI so please don't KANTOI me ONE,
BEST or not this post? so SYOK right?
FUYOH, so SLUMBER only right?
ALAMAK..too many Manglish words to include LE, so just make here KAW-KAW but not all manglish word got inside this post YA!
GILER AH, macam ni pun boleh KAH? You tak tau KER?
CHUN LEH? You see HOR, I even put the words capitalized for all the BLUR-BLUR people.

WALAUWEH, did you know that OUTSTATION is a Manglish Word AR?
WOI, Don't say WHERE GOT? Try GOOGLING it if you don't believe
you know AH, other language words with -ING, -ATION, -IED also manglish WAN you know? Like CAKAPING, BODOHFIED and MALUATION
FUYOH, you GOSTAN and check LAH, I'm not TIPUING you WOH, sure don't have LA WAN DEH!

captain?

Rugby!
We played an exhibition game in the National 7s rugby at Seremban, negeri 9 today.
I was on the blue team and coach Mamak made me captain...
I was like WHAT?? ME, captain?
I don't know what to do nor do I know what to say.
Failed in confidence and self esteem la.
Anyways today I was playing in the centre position.

I'm so used to train as a winger that I keep forgetting that today I have to look at the sides cause I'm not a winger today. Thus not passing the ball to the winger even though we had extra...
Besides that, my fitness level had gone so low that my team mates asked me why i ran in slow motion?
I also was out of breath so many time even though the game was 7-1-7. 7 minutes play, 1 min rest n 7 min play.
Some of my team mates was disappointed with me because I reacted quite slow and not observant.
I got ankle-tap by the opponent and fell down...ish ish ish. Ankle tap is my nemesis, I also fall down whenever someone ankle taps me.

positive
I managed to bring the people I tackled down la. Just missed a few tackles la...

Things i learnt today:
When opponent chasing, run zig zag, learn to control your pace. In 7s rugby its ok to run backwards.
If you are not a winger, then DON'T RUN WIDE, just run STRAIGHT because you will be taking the wingers space then she will have less space to run. STAY in your ZONE.
Don't simply throw ball away when you get tackled. REMEMBER TO PUMP legs, don't immediately fall down! It's better to fall with the ball in our hand than to simply throw it away and lose possession!

end of bintang D 4 dis Semester

Right after the completion of "Management and Organizational Theories" exam and blogging, I started the preparation for the final Paper: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY.
the KiLLeR paper, toughest paper yet.

Wah, last paper's preparation was intense. Staring at the presentation notes on my laptop for so long and trying to summarize all 10 chapters. Focusing on tutorials and notes. Only manage to summarise 4 chapters the first day....worried sick about the subject, turning antisocial cause no talking or interactions, just looking at the laptop and scribbling intensely on the many blank sheet of paper. So Lifeless oh!

Woke up early the next day, continuing the crazy routine...all the way into 1am where i finally gave up on doing the summary notes, i wrote "Too many, i give up la"
Resolved to just memorise what I think will most likely come out.
Sleep at 3am. Not enough time leh, the exam is in the morning at 8.30am.

Exam paper 9 questions, all short essay and listing. Confidently did about 4 questions, lost on the other 5. Just write some crap there la, as long as i don't leave the paper blank.

At last the paper is done and no need to bintang D (study) for this semester liao :P
p/s: Panda eyes la...not euf sleep ma..but really happy the exams are over! XD

not enuf time

From the easiest paper to the toughest paper. The difficulty level keep increasing oh, but I really thank God that my papers are not back to back on the same day :)
The schedule is OK la, got enough time to study! Yes!

Today was the 2nd last paper. Management and Organizational theory.

The hall was quite empty...
Paper was not that hard but quite tricky with a lot of thinking or give your opinion type of questions.
7 long essay questions with only 2 hours to answer? That's what i call CRAZY! IF i got leaked answers also I got not enough time to finish writing it la.

NOT ENOUGH TIME: too many words to write... WORD Clock...lols

I felt like i was going round and round a bush. I think my lecturer will get a headache by just marking my paper alone.

I already know I pass this paper la...over 60% i got 51. Coming from presentation, assignments, class participation and mid sem test. Mid sem test i got 17/20 marks.

Therefore this paper is just 40% but the lecturer put it as 100% and after she marks it, then the results times 0.4. Next, sum up the answer with 51 and tadaaaaaa the Results.

half way there

aha, the 3rd paper is finally done and this means I'm half way there...Yay!
2 more papers then bye bye 1st semester.

Another cool paper of short and concise notes. Majority of the question directly from the notes but my brain got mixed up with some things so might lose a few marks here and there.

All in all, it was good la. Test our thinking powers by using our own examples...

SSP

Apparently i hurt/injured my supraspinatus (SSP).
Dr asked me, "Now not exam time ah?" I nodded yes "but today no exam paper for me :P"
examine me, inquire more about the injury, ask me to do some movements, identifying where the injury is.

"Oh, you're sports science ah, which part of the shoulder do you know?"
I only know the deltoid, LoL.
"The function of the deltoid is (something about moving shoulder up and down if i recall correctly) anyway it's the rotater cuff that's injured. Just level 1 only, so nothing to worry la"
She brought a plastic rotater cuff and showed me Subscapularis. Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus and Teres. "After your physio, come see me ok"

Just a minor pain on my right shoulders.

Phisioterapist turn now, cik Faizah: OK, pain on your right shoulder, SSP. Did you fall down?
me "i play rugby..."
cik Faizah, " I mean, not during sports"...NO..."Did doctor ask you to rest?" ...nope... "Hah? Dr tak suruh you rest?"... "Dr ada ambil x-ray tak?", "Tak juga?"

Put hot pack 15 minutes then teach me 4 exercises to repeat 10 times. ok done.

back to see the doctor,
The doctor strap my shoulder with kinesio tape. My doctor is a very funny and friendly one.
Dr Stella said, "This tape Lee Choong Wei wore and lost to Lin Dan, but got other athletes who wore this won gold medals..." haha.
This tape reduced the pain and so the doctor told me, "Kinesio tape inhibits your muscle, meaning rest your SSP muscle so that it can heal faster. No pain doesn't mean you're cure ok."
I'm suppose to leave the tape on for 3-5 days.

The Kinesio Taping Method is applied over muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused tired muscles, and to support muscles in movement on a 24hr/day basis. It is non-restrictive type of taping which allows for full range of motion. For more info on Kinesio taping visit http://www.kinesiotape.ca/whatitdoes.htm

movements during exam ;P

aha, the 2nd paper for me.
BASIC EXERCISES SCIENCE.
not much notes to read as this class was more to practical learning and many practical test.
The paper was quite cool la as it was structured, fill in the blanks, matching and then identifying.
The first half of the paper was pretty straight forward from the notes but the second half of the paper was crazy as none of it were taught in class nor in the notes. Only 1 guy from my class surely aced the paper as it is his area of sports.

Look at the diagram and then state what is the exercise called and which muscle is working. When it came to this section of the paper, you could see all the sports students doing the action to identify which muscle is involved. LoL. It's quite funny to see students who are in an examination actually imitating the exercise movement on the paper...it looked like we were sending signals to each other. Bicep curls, leg curls, flexion and extensions of arm and feet, adduction and abduction of arm, bending elbow, ect. :D

Anyway, i feel really glad that the exam is only 40%.
30% from practical test and 30% from assignment. So, no matter what, it's a guarantee pass la.

the start of examinations

My first semester exam...
UM examination officially started on Monday but today only i sat for my first paper:
Information skills aka Kemahiran Maklumat(km). It's the university paper so it's not subject related la but must pass this subject so that can graduate wor.

This year i took 1 university subject only.
Next year I'll be taking 2: Tamadun Islam n Asia(Titas) and English 1.
A big difference in the university papers is that it is compulsory for all UM students to take and PASS, but it will not disturb our overall grades. We also won't know whether we aced it or just passed, cause all we will know is that we pass or failed. Cooler thing is it's just 40 question objective.

Ok, coming back about KM paper.
The lecturer my group got was great, Pn SABARIAH. She's very strict but she's very good in teaching this subject. A really simplified method and really relevant tips like:
1. if you see MANY NUMBERS AT THE END, automatically it's ARTICLE JOURNAL
2. If you see "PAPER PRESENTED AT", automatically it's UNPUBLISHED CONFERENCE Paper

I like the fact that this class has computer objective quizzes too. Here i can check much i understood.
I'm not much of a top student, just an average one in this subject but her tips and the quiz really helped me a lot.

Another fact i don't understand is why people who got higher than me in the mid-test wants me to teach them. I mean they got higher marks than me in the subject thus should by right understand better ma.

VERY PRETTY XD

Today i bully my room mate Akiko Hiura. muahahhahahahahahah *evil grin*
She had HUBUNGAN ETHNIK exam today whereby she had to use a 2B pencil but she didn't have any pencil. Yen Ping also don't have 2B pencil but Yen Ping borrowed from someone else.

Poor Akiko had no choice but to borrow a pencil from the One and Only Famous HILDA hew mun foong who forced Akiko to shout "HILDA HEW MUN FOONG IS VERY PRETTY" 10x, yeah, meaning she had to shout it ten times...yeah, note that there's the word VERY, therefore not just Pretty, But VERY PRETTY. oh ya, not SAY, but SHOUT..hehe.

muahahahahahhahaha


this is Akiko, she's my roomie...

haunt the road

ahh, almost one week without a blog post. Proof that I've been studying? Nope..hehe.

I've been haunting the roads lately. Yea, haunting as in Ghost haunting. The reason being, my file where I keep my notes slip down from the vehicle on the way back home. My notes for 1 subject gone, just like that. My mom's van door has a gap or space at the side of the door...I'm not sure if all vans are like that...hmmm.
Just haunting the road, searching for a glimpse of my file, I sort of know that this haunting is in vain. But, there's a part of me who doesn't want to accept reality that the file is gone. You know there's a song by whitney houston.
"There can be miracles
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe"

oh well, Tough luck! better luck next time.
a lesson to remember: always keep a close eye on your things and don't rely too much on technology.

SCC 7s

tag

team Malaysia

my first try :)

I scored My first INTERNATIONAL TRY! Woohoo!

We traveled by car to singapore on thursday night and stayed at Rucksack Inn on Hong Kong street. http://www.rucksackinn.com/rucksackinn.html

Singapore Criket Club (SCC) International Rugby 7s tournament.
Friday morning, we walked under the rain to the PADANG, <--that's the venue name wor. Malaysia played against Indonesia in our first game. We won with scoring 45-0. That means 9 tries...yeah, including my try! My first try as a National player! Fuyoh...but, 18 points gone because we failed all 9 conversions, the field was too wet for the ball to bounce ma.

Malaysia and Indonesia

Our second game was with Singapore. We lost 29-0. It was kind of my fault la, the Singapore girls used the gap that I created as a winger.

The next day, I played the hooker position (don't think nonsense ok!) , Woah, susah betul, I barely managed to get a single ball out of the scrum. I was kind of lost when we had to realign cause I seldom play as a forward too. Sorry, team Malaysia. XC
An India player tackled me at the neck...ish ish ish. Another time, after I tackled one Indian girl, another Indian girl sat on me and I couldn't move. The referee kept saying "Tackler, roll away. Blue tackler"...I was stuck there la, how to move leh? Haiz...
Anyway, India beat us by 10-0.

The bowl finals(5th n 6th place). We faced Indonesia again. I scored my second try! Wow...
But, i must admit that Indonesia improved a lot when we faced them the 2nd time. We won by 37-0 thus winning the bowl and securing the 5th place in this SCC rugby 7s tournament.


Oh, it's time to study now...My final exam starting on 22nd Nov and ends on 3rd dec.
Time to face the book instead of facebook-ing.

impressions

My room mate, Akiko said I'm an emo person...
Then Jodie said I'm sentimental cause I still write letters.
According to Akiko,, Only Emo people can write letters...O.o, impressions...
Most of my college mate who knows me knows that i'm a bit anti-baju kurung...So, every Wednesday they get surprised when they see me wear Baju Kurung.

Yesterday, somebody asked me to smile but don't show my teeth...It was hard. It took a lot of shots to get the shot..hahahaha
Maybe cause I seldom smile nowadays...Most of my smiling pictures can see teeth wan...I guess it's also because of the "Cheese"...can see teeth when we say cheese.

my classmates call me Rihanna.

2quit or Not?

i feel like quiting PALAPES...not sure ..see la.
the main issue is timing.
