To quote the boyfriend from Facebook:

"Matt & Evon just had a simple but wonderful 5th year anniversary dinner date. Place was good, food was so-so, time spent together was indeed well worth it! :)

Plus, the fact that unexpected flowers can put a smile on a girls face was a big plus point! :) African Daisies did bring her a smile when she stepped into the car ;) "

Thank God for the 5 years we had, and many more years to come! =)

Teach me Lord

2011-02-26T18:49:00.003+08:00

Whenever.. Wherever.. Whatever..

...teach me Lord, to be vigilant.
So that I, would not bring shame upon Your name and glory.
So that I, could be a living testimony to You.
1 Corinthians 16:13-->
"Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong."

...teach me Lord, to be non-judgmental.
So that I, won't conclude without understanding the person or the situation.
So that I, would not offend or hurt anyone.
Luke 6:37-->
"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

...teach me Lord, to be patient.
So that I, would not bring anger or frustration towards anyone.
So that I, could think clearly and understand the circumstances better.
Proverbs 14:29--->
"A patient man has great understanding, but a quick-tempered man displays folly."

...teach me Lord, to endure.
So that I, would continue to hope for something better to come to me.
So that I, even though am suffering now, could later taste the sweet victory.
Romans 15:4-->
"For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope."

Teach me Lord, i pray and plead...

It's been quite some time since we last met for girls meeting, well, we called it BB, short for 'Building Bridges'. It's sort of like a support group for us girls in university students and young adults i suppose. We usually cook or bake together, and just chat all day & night long. And pray! Well, sometimes we just kept chatting and forgot to allocate time to pray. Xp.. But i do believe that we pray for each other all the time!! =)

Thank God for sisters like such, to just be there for each other, encourage each other in our studies, relationships, life. Truly thank God for each one of them!

smile!

Extraordinary Dinner

2011-01-19T01:13:00.005+08:00

It was the people, that make this dinner extraordinary!! =)

Matt & Evon

I bet some of you are thinking "Both of them again?" or "Nothing new.." or "Boring!!"

Neh.. Not just the both of us. But with another pair of couple. Matt said it's like some sort of double date, hehehehe... But it was more than a double date, it was a gathering, well, at least to me, cause Matt was just an accompanist for that night! LOL! It was very nice of him to accompanied me to the dinner. Love my boyfriend! Xp..

So who was it that i was meeting up with? Hwan & Ching!! Hwan was my fellow prefect back in secondary school years, also my classmate back in Form4 & 5. Ching was my secondary schoolmate, didn't get to be in the same prefectorial board with her nor in the same class, but yea, we're acquaintance.

Meeting up with the love birds are really nice. We chat about old time, chat about present time, also the future!! Well, just in case we might not see each other in the near future, might as well chat all the way to future! Xp.. Of course, Matt was a bit out of place. But thanks to Hwan & Ching, who made the effort to make Matt felt comfortable, he enjoyed the fellowship as well!

Looking at both of them, i can feel and see that they are really in love. Both knew each other since primary years, went to the same secondary school, and only got together when they're pursuing their tertiary education. I wonder if they realise, that they only don't know each other for 6 years in their entire life! I believe this would not be a boyfriend girlfriend kind of relationship, but best friends as well!

It's encouraging to hear from Ching that she look up on the steady relationship that Matt & I have. That she take us as one of the couple-role-model thingy. *shy* Xp.. But what she said really lifts me up, and i could only thank God for that. Cause obviously, without God, i don't think Matt & I could go any further in our relationship. Thank God! =)

Long story short, really appreciate and cherish the dinner and fellowship with the love birds. Pray that they'll cherish each other as best friends in life! =) And that prayer applies to all the couples i know too! =)

Ching, Hwan, Evon & Matt

p/s: Photos taken by Ching. Thanks Ah Ching!

Swim

2011-01-19T00:52:00.005+08:00

Swimming is one of the sport that i do. Well, it's a relaxing sport. To be surrounded by water, to listen only to silence, it somehow felt very relaxing.

It's been a long time since i went for a swim, and yet the swimming pool in the club was closed due to renovation or something? Apparently they are trying out a way to clean the pool water without using chlorine. Let's see how it goes.

But thank God, there's another smaller pool, which can be used. But i don't know why must it be so freaking cold. It's so icy cold! Yet i went down to swim for a while, thanks to a boy and a man. It was fun though, apart of the coldness, to just chillax with a boy and a man whom i love.

The boy and the man whom i love

the main pool, the water is as green as the grass! o.O

nah! you don't want to swim in that!

As most of my post, it ends with a photo of the couple! =)

Matt & Evon

Potatoes & Babies Lover!

2011-01-16T22:24:00.007+08:00

Strictly for those who LOVE (not like!) potatoes!

Matt & I, on our usual paktor(dating) session, decided to eat at this newly discovered place called 'Ireland's Potato'.. And it turned out to be such a good meal!! One of the main reason, or perhaps the only reason was that we both LOVE potatoes!

We found this saying on the wall, and totally agree with it! It goes like this:

Ireland's proverb says: there are two things in the world that can't be joked:
1. Marriage
2. Potato

Ireland's Potato

Fries with yummy cheese topping

the so-so potato balls, hash brown in ball shapes

roasted potato with sour cream sauce

Strictly for those who LOVE (not like!) babies!

If you have been a faithful reader of this blog(thank you!), you would know that my mum's babysitting a baby called Emma..

Emma in her towel

As the saying goes, 'All good things come in pairs'.. Hence, here comes another baby that my mum is babysitting, Emma, short for Emmanuelle.. A daughter of my church member..

Emma, staring into the camera

It's quite funny how God works.. I've always wanted to have sister/sisters.. But along the way, came Ah Yuan & Kai Wen, brothers.. =.=" But i still thank God for them, grateful to have them in my life, well, in one way or another.. Xp..

Back to how God works.. Well, He 'gave' me Emma, and she has been with my family and I for about 15 months, and it's good to have her in our family, she's been a joy to us. Just recently, God 'gave' me another baby sister, Emma (Emmanuelle)! So now, i could say, i have two baby sisters, though they're not blood-related to me, but i already take them as my little sisters.

And let me tell you, it's very funny to see both Emmas, together in action! Oh fyi, the first Emma is older, she's exactly 1 year and 4 months today! And the second Emma is younger, she's close to 10 months old.

Both looking at my mum

Just chilling around

Sleeping peacefully, one with a bunny and the other with pillow

Love Potatoes!

Love Babies!

2011

2011-01-14T11:25:00.009+08:00

It's never too late to post a new year post! Xp.. (Gosh i'm soooooo lazy.. >.<)

Looking back at 2010, i know that God was with me, and He indeed has been a good, faithful and ever-loving God.. Couldn't possibly thank Him enough! I love and thank God for all of these:

Emma

encouraging sisters in uni life

sweet and faithful sisters in church

crazy bunch of friends who cares to do crazy things with me

a climb that i never thought i'd make it

a trip that is memorable with boyfriend's family

family members who always support you in all ways

love that keeps growing

I just pray, that in this 2011, He will continue to be my guide. Continue to lead me into His will in whatever i do. That i could fit into His plan, His will.

God is good, all the time! And.. All the time, God is good!

If you're a good follower of my blog, you'll know what to expect when you see the above title for this post. If you're not a good follower, well, read on and find out! =)

5 semesters of studies came and went, up and downs I've experienced, but what's most important is that God, the good God, was with me all these 5 semesters. He have indeed shown me great things that I've never expect to see and experience.

Subjects that i took in this 5th semester:
1. Malaysian in Narration
One and only literature subject that i have in this course. (Thank God!!) We studied on Malaysian literature, so there's no Shakespeare and stuff. But it was rather interesting, learning on the local short stories and poem. It was indeed good stuff, but again, I don't really fancy literature.

2. Language and Intercultural Communication
Now this is an interesting subject. It's not really an English language paper, but general communication and stuff. The three main strand of this subject are Identity, Otherisation and Representation. One thing that I gained from this is that everyone, every individual is different, no two people are the same, hence we have to take each other as they are, not based on our own generalisation or even stereotype.

3. Varieties of English
English is a complicated language i would say. Being spoken in so many different parts of the world, each part has then develop their own variety of English. Malaysian English, Philippines English, British English, American English and the list goes on. As for Malaysian & Singapore English, the usage of the particle '-lah', is no where to be heard, it's only in Malaysia and Singapore!

4. Fundamentals of Language Learning and Teaching
A learning and teaching subject, which basically gives us a view of how learning and teaching could be done. We learn few theories and how to teach language specifically in the four main skills, reading, writing, listening and speaking.

5. Language and Assessment
One of my elective subject. A very good course for those who wants to be teacher in future. It goes through the process of designing a test paper. It was quite interesting to find out all the processes and theories behind it when we were actually the ones who always answer it only, not design it.

6. Japanese Language
Hajimemashite, watashi wa Evon desu! I love the way how our Japanese lecturer, a Japan lady herself, taught us. It was like you learn this word, and there's always a picture of that thing beside it, which is good for me because that's how i study, visual learning. It was always interesting to learn another language, because you not only learn the language, but the culture of that certain country as well.

God was good to grant me such result as shown below:

Straight As.. 4 flat.. I've never dream of such result in my life. The only time that I've got all As was my UPSR paper, and that wasn't that great after all, it's just a Standard 6 paper. But this time, it's really a big thing!! This semester was really a killer semester for me. Having 4 majors and 2 electives, and don't even get me started on the thesis that I'm working on and on.... It's crazy! But God, by His grace and mercy, have chosen once again, to show me his goodness!!

Like in the Bible, the book of 1st Corinthians, chapter 1 verse 31:

"Let him who boast, boast in the Lord"

Indeed, I boast in the Lord for having such great results! Because, only through Him and Him alone, that all things are possible in my life! =)

Semester break!

2010-12-16T15:36:00.017+08:00

5 week semester break is coming to an end... Noooooooooo~~~~

1st & 2nd week of semester break
Working hard, i mean real hard! on my thesis.. Thank God that everything went well and i managed to do on the topic that i preferred. The topic, or title is "Language and Identity in Multilingual Malaysian Chinese Undergraduates". My supervisor was indeed a helpful supervisor, providing me information and readings regarding my topic all the time. Thank God for that too!

3rd week of semester break

National Conference (NC) is organised by Fellowship of Evangelical Students. It is a conference held once in 5 years time, to gather students from all colleges and universities in Malaysia, to come as a national student movement. This time, for NC 2010-“Risk It, U-Turn”, we have all together 490 of students, graduates and working committees. Big big number!!

This is what we do in NC, we have several sessions including: Quiet Time, Worship, Bible Expositions, Issues Happening in Malaysia, Workshops… Oh and of course meals, games and free time! =)

Reasons why I joined NC 2010:

-It’s a once in a life time to go as a student!

-Some church members joined too!

-Wanted to get something from Him!

Lessons learnt:

-Truly learn about the people in Malaysia, not just the usual Malay, Chinese, Indian dan Lain-lain. (Do you know, there are about 200 tribes in Malaysia?)

-Through sharings from speakers from different sessions and also among conferencees, I was reminded that through God, who is able to do all things, extraordinary things can happen in ordinary people's life.

-Walk the talk. To learn whatever I’ve been taught, and apply it to my life.

Risk it. U-turn!

4th week of semester break
I had the privilege of joining Matt and his family for a holiday at Thailand. It was a good holiday, except the fact that Matt was sick since the second day of the trip. =.=” But overall it’s still good! =)

We were in a 10 person tour, travelling in a van, with one guide and one driver. The guide was good, on the fact that he provided us lots of information about everything in Thailand, and that he kept the driver accompany even when we’re all shut down. The driver, with limited English command was a funny guy and he drives like a crazy boss!

We spent most of the time touring in Chiang Mai, located at the north of Thailand. Then, there’s a day trip that brought us to Chiang Rai, which is further up north of Thailand, and also another 2 neighboring country, Myanmar and Laos.

Say 'NO' to Otherisation

2010-10-21T22:22:00.001+08:00

A recent individual assignment on Language & Intercultural Communication.

Otherisation deals with a major hindrance to communication in the way in which we over-generalize, stereotype and reduce the people we communicate with to something different or less than they are. (Holliday et al., 2004)

my piece of work

Someone needs to try and say "NO!". If not, this just wont end.

So are you saying "NO!"?

To be in Malaysian University (the ugly and stinky side!)

2010-10-18T14:40:00.004+08:00

Yes, this is an ugly side of Malaysian University!! Particularly Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. I'm not sure with the situation in other universities though.

Why? Read the below excerpt of a letter:

PINDAAN TARIKH PEPERIKSAAN AKHIR SEMESTER I SESI AKADEMIK 2010-2011
SEMPENA CUTI TAMBAHAN HARI DEEPAVALI

Dimaklumkan bahawa Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi telah meminta semua universiti
mempertimbangkan cuti tambahan hari Deepavali dan menjadualkan semula tarikh
peperiksaan akhir Semester I Sesi Akademik 2010-2011 bagi menghormati perayaan
tersebut. Setelah berbincang dengan Persatuan Mahasiswa Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia, pihak Pengurusan Universiti telah bersetuju cuti tambahan sempena hari
Deepavali dilanjutkan seperti berikut:

Tarikh asal : 4 – 7 November 2010
Tarikh baru : 3 – 8 November 2010

Sehubungan dengan itu, semua pelajar yang terlibat dengan peperiksaan pada 3 dan 8
November 2010 diminta mengambil Kad Masuk dan Jadual Peperiksaan (KMJP) yang
baru di Pejabat Dekan Fakulti masing-masing mulai 19 Oktober 2010.

Segala kesulitan sangat dikesali.

Sekian dimaklumkan, terima kasih.

It's only a week a way from exam, and they are making such changes!!

Ya, it's good to respect the celebration of Deepavali and all, i have nothing against this at all. In fact, every year, it's only Raya and Chinese New Year have the most attention on holidays and all. But what's with the last minute changes? Did they just realised in this moment that universities should respect the celebration of Deepavali? They should have known this earlier and save up all this problematic and last minute changes!

The changes of exam dates is affected as well. And they are changing some of the dates to 31st October, which happens to be on a Sunday. So much talking done on being respectful? Why do they have to replace exams on a Sunday, which is a day where most Christians meet up in church for worship and sermons (some churches meet on Saturday)? I remember hearing people having exams on Sundays in the previous semesters. This is crazy. The Muslims have to perform their Friday Prayer in mosque every Friday afternoon, hence lectures and exams wont fall on that time. So, it's okay to interrupt the worship and sermon of Christians huh?

Noticed in the letter, it was the Ministry of Higher Education who asked universities to consider having additional holidays for Deepavali and reschedule the exam schedule. If you think carefully enough, you'll realised that this has got to do with some political issues.

Again, this shouldn't be happening if there's proper and careful plannings by the Ministry of Higher Education and the universities. This has once again clearly proven that we Malaysian, are still way far from achieving the dream of 1Malaysia or Wawasan 2020 or whatsoever that we are dreaming about. If this doesnt change, well, it'll forever be a dream only!

This is not the Malaysia i'm expecting in future.. *let us pray earnestly for a better Malaysia*

Sharings from the graveyard

2010-10-17T17:51:00.005+08:00

This has got nothing to do with creepy or death stuff.

My family and I went over to visit the graveyard of my grandparents(dad's side) and aunt in Klang. We also visited my granduncle's graveyard, who happened to be a Christian.

And this is a little something i saw at my granduncle's graveyard, and i thought it's worth sharing here in blog:

Thanks, O God, for boundless mercy.

From Thy gracious throne above;

thanks for every need provided,

from the fullness of Thy love!

Thanks for daily toil and labour,

and for rest when shadows fall;

thanks for love of friend and neighbour,

and Thy goodness unto all!

Thanks for thorns as well as roses,

thanks for weakness and for health;

thanks for clouds as well as sunshine,

thanks for poverty and wealth!

Thanks for pain as well as pleasure,

all Thou sendest day by day;

and Thy word, our dearest treasure.

Shedding light upon our way.

Thanks, O God, for home and fire-side,

where we share our daily bread;

thanks for hours of sweet communion,

when by Thee our souls are fed!

Thanks for grace in time of sorrow.

And for joy and peace in Thee;

thanks for hope today, tomorrow,

and for all eternity!

From the passage above, "thanks" was mentioned so many times! And if you realised, it's associated with the good things, bad things, big things and small things in life..

The bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus."

Hence, let us live out 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 in our life, for Hope is here with us today, tomorrow and for all eternity.

HALLELUJAH: Praise the LORD

We climbed on the 6th of Sept in the morning around 9plus, and reached Laban Rata resthouse around 4plus in the evening. We rest there after dinner and got up at 2am the next day! Most of us cant really sleep well because someone was snoring like no one's business.. Xp.. So from Laban Rata, we continue climbing up to the peak and reached there around 6plus in the morning. After we come down from the peak, we rest an hour at Laban Rata and continue our journey down. Managed to reach the foot at 4plus in the evening. Well, let the photo do the talking.. Xp..

Swimming, Shopping, Singing on Saturday

2010-08-15T23:22:00.005+08:00

Swimming, Shopping & Singing was what i did on the last Saturday! (The coincidence "S"!)

Early in the morning(not so early lar), we went to the club(not clubbing!) near our house to swim. I haven't been swimming for a long time and it was nice to swim(more like play with water) again. And it was fun when Ah Yuan thought his swimming trunk was torn and the rest of us pretend that it did! Lol.. After swimming(playing with water actually), we went McD for lunch! Yummy.. gone all the swimming we did.. Xp.. And the two big boys ordered GCB, apparently it was ok ok sahaja.

only guys could do this =.="

Late noon, Matt & I went to Midvalley(I drove there!!!), wanting to get the 70% Lumberjack's hiking shoe.. Only then to find out that it was too big and they dont have a smaller size! >.< But no! We didnt give up! We went around and hunt from the other brands.. Guess what? We found one Axel's hiking shoe and it's only RM59.90! Oh for your information, i need hiking shoe for Mount KK. *huh??* Yes =.=", I am climbing the Mount KK this coming September with Matt, Mon, Esther, Yue Min, Marcus and his friends. Why did i signed up for this? Hmmm..

the hiking shoes that is going to discover Mount KK!

After getting the shoe, we went back to church for worship practice. Matt was there for drum. My cute friend, Siqin was my partner for backup singers! *Yay!* Half way through practice, we decided to take off our shoes, cause we realised that we were standing in the Holy Land of God! (Siqin said that! =.=") And guess what i found! Cute socks that Siqin wore!

puppy, bones and footprints!

Matt the drummer

We went and buka puasa at Wangsa Walk Mall after worship and had Secret Recipe. Why Wangsa Walk? Cause Matt's slippers spoilt. So he was desperate to get one! So ngam, i needed a new pair of slippers too! And we got ourselves new slippers! Not couple slippers though, we dont do the couple-couple thingy..

new slippers

It was a fun Saturday! A time of fun with family, boyfriend and friends!

That is why i always *heart* Weekends! =)

June's convocation

2010-08-12T16:02:00.008+08:00

Attended June Ng's Convocation last Monday and had dinner with her the next day.. =)

It was on a Monday evening, hence a lot of young working adults couldnt make it to her convocation. Still, there are some who are semangat! Matthew who came after work, Jeremy who took half day leave and Yue Min who took 1 day leave just for June!

A photo with the first class graduate!

Since most of the people cant make it on the convo day, we decided to have a dinner celebration with her the next day. A total of 7, including herself turned up! But June actually forgot about the dinner thing until Matt called her at 5pm and ask if she had already decided where to eat.. =.=" Anyway, we had Italiannies for dinner! =)

Great

2010-08-08T22:10:00.006+08:00

The dinner with him on friday was great.. =) talked about the status he put on facebook and the topic just cant seem to end! Xp.. and boy, that was a great talk..

Not going CG together was not great.. =( It felt.. Just weird not to have him with me.. and when everyone asking "where is he?", doesnt help to make the situation better..

Going worship practice together was great.. =) the smile that he always put on his face while playing drum was simple yet warms my heart..

Having KFC together and sharing food with each other was great.. =) him taking the cheese and mayo on my chezzy wedges and me taking the crispy chicken from his snack plate.. oh, and having him as the water tank, i dont need to force myself to finish my drink..

Going shopping together was great.. =) from Sungei Wang to Lowyat to Time Square and back to Sungei Wang together.. Looked for blue working shirt with white stripes wasnt successful but managed to get a light purple and white stripes, the process was tiring yet fun..

Waking him up every morning through phone calls and messages was not great.. =( he sometimes turns his phone to silent mode accidentally, so he just sleep and sleep.. but i would love to wake him every morning still..

Watching him leading the Fidelis Singers' practice was great.. =) I rarely get to see him in his serious mode, must say.. he looked charming..

Most importantly, having him in my life was great.. And you know what's even greater? It's that as we hold hands and walk this journey of ours together, we know that God is watching over us and keeping us in love every single moment of our lives..

How great is that huh? =)

Pause

2010-07-15T23:58:00.023+08:00

"Life is full of uncertainties.."

In fact, it is!

As a baby, you cant be certain that you could stand or walk without having any support from your parents.

As a pre-school child, you cant be certain that your friend that plays with you today will still be friend with you tomorrow.

As a primary school student, you cant be certain that you did your spelling or dictation correctly and wouldnt get cane by your teacher the next day.

As a secondary school student, you cant be certain that the guy or girl you have feelings for have the same for you too.

As a tertiary level student, you cant be certain that you could maintain your pointer and keep them in the dean's list or even graduate in first class.

As an employee, you cant be certain that your work performance satisfy your boss or your colleagues are actually sincere to you.

As a parent, you cant be certain that words and actions that comes from you are the best for you child to learn after you.

All these uncertainties always drive people crazy.. Well, actually we'll be so worried about all these uncertainties and hence go crazy..

But what did our good God say about all these uncertainties that makes us worry?

He says, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?-Matthew 6:26"

He continues, "See how lilies of the field grow. They do no labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon(one of the King during the Old Testament in the Bible) in all his splendour was dressed like one of these.-Matthew 6:28,29"

"Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his(or her) life?-Matthew 6:27"

Hence, whenever you start worrying, just pause and think of these words from God, and trust Him. And the next thing you know, everything falls into place nicely just as He planned, you, need not to worry.. =)

2010-06-23T21:31:00.002+08:00

I got my result.. and it was hmm.. good enough.. =)

Kursus Pengurusan Persatuan II: A
Crappy subject! A set of students supposed to come out with an activity. We work like mad, but this course it's only worth 1 credit hour. It's actually a good course, but it's just that the way they carry it out and the way the evaluate is crappy. And I am glad that this is so over! No more ko-k subjects!

Sociolinguistics: A
This is an interesting subject. Basically it's about the relationship of language and culture. Some of the topics that we learnt are: language choice, language death, World Englishes, language and gender and Social Dialect.

Multimedia English: A
One boring subject that we have. We learn multimedia: Texts, images, sounds, videos, animations. Told you it's boring!

English Morphology & Syntax: A-
Another interesting subject. Morphology is the study of word and Syntax the study of sentence. It's tough but hmm.. interesting.

Research Methodology: A
This subjects teaches us how to write our proposal for our research project. We did chapter 1: Introduction, chapter 2: Literature Review(i really dont like this part!!) and chapter 3: Methodology. I must say, i'm surprise that i got an A for this.

Pengantar Falsafah: B
Donkey subject! All about philosophy and worst still, in Malay. =.="

Bahasa Perancis II: B+
French Level 2 was so tough! It's more complicated than English.

Penjagaan Kesihatan Diri: B+
Apparently it is one of the easiest to score. Probably it's Science and Malay. And maybe i didnt study much and sleep in lecture hall during lecture? Xp..

So overall, i got 3.65 this semester. Hence my cumulative result dropped from 3.71 to 3.69.

I'm a bit disappointed with my result at the beginning, cause it dropped even tough it's only by a little. But I realised that God was with me all these while.

This particular semester, i had 8 subjects, 23 units, to deal with. I had Malam Kesempurnaan Kasih to handle in the PERKEB. I had 2 subjects in Malay and a subject that deals with multimedia, well i'm not good at both of that. So despite all these, i still sort of maintain my result i would said, that little 0.02, i cant possibly be crying all over just because of 0.02.

I'l just have to work harder in the coming semester for better result. =) Honestly, i've never been so serious with studies before. It's what i'm studying changed my attitude in studies. Studying something that you love, makes you feel that all the sleepless night rushing for assignment or crazy quizzes one week after another, it's worth it after all. =)

Thank God for being with me from day1 in my uni life, the result came possible because of Him.. =)

Updates

2010-06-19T20:44:00.015+08:00

4th Event: Singapore Trip!
Oh this was a very fun and nice trip! The four of us, Jeremy, Matthew, Evon (me!) and Siaw Lin went Singapore together! We went Night Safari, Sentosa Island, Orchard, Marina Bay, Esplanade, Singapore Art Festival.. And we met up with bunch of Malaysians there.. =) Last day of trip we went up to Johor Bahru and gave Siaw Lin's dearrie, Mr, Elisha a sweet surprise!

Oh must rewind a bit.. The night before we leave Singapore, Matthew just found out that he havent got his passport renew!! =.=" Ya.. So we prayed and think of ways to get that settle.. Next morning.. We went and renew from the Immigration Office..

7.15am: Reach Immigration Office
7.30am: Immigration Office opens the door
8.10am: Matt's settle stuff at the counter
8.45am: Collected the newly renew passport
9.00am: Leave Wangsa Maju LRT station
9.30am: Reach Bangsar LRT station and run to First Coach Office

So yea.. This is a lesson to everyone!! Please check your passport when you start planning your trip!! Because it's not fun to go thru the whole rushing, worrying and praying thing altogether at the same time.. And it's tiring to run with your luggages with you.. =.="

Thank God that everything did turned out well and the trip wass good!! =)

Passion?

2010-05-10T23:15:00.003+08:00

Teaching.. the passion?

I've always like teaching. I still remembered, i used to pretend that i am teacher and teach my invisible students at home(i even set up chairs for my invisible students to sit!). The profession 'teacher' always appear in the 'occupation' section in my report book.

I'm the eldest at home. Parents always told me that when i was young, they were the ones who taught me how to do my homework and coach me along. Now that i'm the eldest that i'm able to understand the homework, it's my turn to teach my brothers. I used to teach them homework, well now i still do, just rarely.

These are probably the grounds of building up my interest in teaching.

After my secondary years, i taught in a Chinese primary school (in fact, it is my little brother's school) for about 3 weeks as a part-time teacher. It was a great experience cause i get to substitute different teachers, and get to teach different levels of student and different subjects too! (For those who don't know, i can read, speak, listen and write Chinese!)

Then, i moved on to a pre-school (in fact, it was my little brother's ex-pre-school) and taught there for almost 3 months as a Chinese teacher. It was real fun and i really enjoyed the time there with the kids! Kids are real cute, well, till they decided to turn evil.. =.="

So ya, anyway, i thank God for the opportunities He'd given me to experience teaching in 2 levels, the pre-school and the primary school.

Well, i am back to teaching again! it's in my little brother's primary school, again. (Well, it's convenient, so why not?) I could teach there till July, that's when i go back to uni and continue my 3rd year. Why i said 'could'? Cause it's still not sure, the school apparently wanted a permanent teacher, say like could teach till year end. Who knows they might manage to get a permanent teacher tomorrow? Or next week? Maybe next month? Hahaha.. If so, then i'l be planting grapes at home!

Now this is my problem.. It's only the 6th day of teaching, and i already started hating weekdays, where i need to teach..

Is it because of the classes i'm teaching? Well, i'm teaching Standard 4, 5, and 6, mostly weak students.

Is it because of the subjects that i'm teaching? Sadly, i'm not teaching English, but Maths in Chinese and English, Civic which is something like Moral, and Arts.

Is it because of the people i'm working with? I know very little teachers and i sit alone facing the wall! How sad!

Is it because i already don't like teaching? Oh no.. This will be a big problem then..

Nevertheless (Wow! I used 'nevertheless'!!), i still thank God for this chance to teach. It's more like a chance for me to see if teaching is really my passion. If teaching is not my passion anymore, gosh.. i need to find my 'new' passion!! If teaching is still my passion, 'phew~' then..

*Show me, God..*

Weekends

2010-04-25T23:39:00.008+08:00

Malam Kesempurnaan Kasih

=Love is a Verb=

"This is how God showed his love among us:
He sent his one and only Son into the world
that we might live through him.
This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
Dear friends,
since God so loved us,
we also ought to love one another."
=1John4:9-11=

Stay tuned for more.. (photos!! Xp..)

Dearest one and only clone,

May you continue to love chocolates!
(since you dont need to worry about being fat..)

May you continue to love your study!
(despite the horrible load of assignments, projects and exams..)

May you continue to put that joyful smile on your face!
(one single smile might hunt down your man, you'll never know..)

May you continue to stay pretty!
(despite all sorts of insects that bothers you..)

May you continue to have a heart for God!
(cause you means a lot to Him..)

Blessed 20th Birthday to you
&
welcome to the Big 2 world!!

Love,

I've got my 2nd year 1st semester result.. But i have yet to announce it in blog..

For the record, maybe you wanna have a look at here first before continue reading..

For lazy people, the "here" link is basically a previous post of mine about my results in my first year.. i manage to literally maintain.. Got 3.70 last semester, but CGPA still 3.71.. Xp.. Seriously praise and thank God for this man!!

2nd year 1st semester:
Bahasa Isyarat: A-
It's a fun yet hectic subject. Practise practise practise. Memorise memorise memorise. Quiz almost every week, both receptive and expressive. It's usually scary when it's expressive cause we had to stand in front and sign whatever text we are given on the spot. I still remember my hands will shake. And there was times when i cant remember, friends would secretly sign or hint to me. Xp..

Kursus Pengurusan Persatuan 1: B+
Most crappo subject ever.. Why must all wajib univeristi courses be as crappo as they can?! This subject is part of the co-curiculum that we need to take.. Our uni force us to take a total of 8 units of this. This is the 7th unit, 1 more unit to go this sem and i'm done with it!

Academic Writing: A-
Writing again, this is the 2nd course in our major that requires us to write. This time, not essay writing, but more like conducting a mini research. Thank God it was a pair work, and my partner dear Sin Yee is definetely a good partner!

Academic Reading: A-
Learn about several reading skills. Again, it's related to writing as we were asked to write critical review and summary on articles and journals.

Oral Communication Strategies: A
An interesting course that everyone should take. I could still remember we were asked to sing "Do Re Mi" in the first tutorial regarding the intonation. Lots of presentation be it group and individual needed in this course. Best of all, no finals! Xp..

Bahasa Perancis Asas 1: A
"Bonjour! Je m'applle Evon. Comment Ca va?" Couldnt get into japanese hence french, but thank God, cause if it's japanese, need to learn the writing too! It's fun learning another language and knowing the cultures too, had a young Malay lecturer from Malaysian france Institute.

Pengurusan Emosi: B+
One of the university courses. Why Emotional Management? Cause i couldn't manage my emotions? Xp..

This semester, 2nd year 2 semester. I'm registered with 23 units in total.

Kursus Pengurusan Persatuan 2
Penjagaan Kesihatan Diri
Pengantar Falsafah
Research Methodolgy
Sociolinguistics
English Morphology & Syntax
Multimedia English
French Level 2

I got a new news just today! A very joyyie news!! Xp.. Apparently, the CGPA for Dean List is 3.6 and 3.67 for first class!! I still got hope!! Xp.. Let's just hope that i'll continue to at least maintain my CGPA and the government will not change the 2010 budget when it comes to 2011..

Oh, another joyyie news.. No more Saturday classes!!

Let's par-tayyyyyyyy!!!
