Relaxing weekend

Hey Yo! What's up? Yea! Finally, I can have a good rest in this weekend! Everything almost comes to the end! No more assignment and mid-terms! But there are 5 more presentation to go! Never mind, I love presentation a lot! Before that, let me enjoy the weekend first! 

What so special about this weekend? Again, there are artists coming to Kampar! If not mistaken, this was the third time I attended artists' roadshow! First was 8tv carnival during 2011, second was ntv7 "yuan" carnival during 2013, and now is Food Fiesta in 2015! 

Daniel is in da house! First time met with him was 2007 (8 years ago), last time met him was 2013 during "yuan" carnival. He sang 3 songs, including "mimpi", "oh my god!", and "fei (fly)". He will release a "ukulele" album soon.

Rickman is in da house! Took 2 photos with him before, last time met him was 2013 during "yuan" carnival. He is now recording "you ma wan le", will host "wu di zhuang yuan" in April and "huan dao 8" in June. The emcee said he is so busy and he said it is only working, just like we study and sit for exam and repeat for every semester. 

There's still 7 weeks to go before this semester ends. It means to say that my degree life gonna end soon. So, my target in this semester is having meal together with those I know. There's still somebody I wish to have meal together. Until now, done with 75%. Anyway, hope to have dinner with them once again if possible. After graduate, there's not much chance to meet up again. 

3 presentations in coming week and 2 presentations in following weeks. Why am I having so much presentation? But I like it XD

UTAR Convocation March 2015

Good things and happy moment are meant to be shared! So, I have a lot to share now! These 2 days are big day for UTAR graduand! Yes, it's UTAR convocation! This is my 3rd time attending UTAR convocation. 

March 2013: I was a helper for Utar convo carnival.

March 2014: I was a helper for graduand registration.

March 2015: I attended friend's convocation.

There are 4 sessions for this time convocation and I attended 3 sessions. Indeed, it was a tiring one. Luckily, my friend fetched me on the first day. 

First session: Our course mate, MeiYee

Attended first session with MengSei.

We almost can't recognize her because she looked prettier after didn't meet her for about half year. A hand shake with her with "Congratulations, Mei Yee!"It's great that I am able to attend your convocation since there's no midterm. Haha...She is currently attending class but I am not sure what class is it. 

Photo taking with MeiYee :) Stayed for 1 and half hour for first session.

MeiYee & MeiGuan

Second session: Our intern friend, Rex

Attended second session with MengSei & Deric.

Rex is so tall but we are not able to search for him. Haha...He is currently planning for further studies and working.

Photo taking with Rex :) Stayed for 2 hours for second session.

MunHao, Rex, MeiGuan & MengSei

Fourth session: My NSQ friend, Kwong Wai

Attended fourth session alone.

We didn't meet up for 1 and half year. This is the 4th time we met after knew him for 6 years. Thanks him for inviting me to his convocation! I managed to talk with him, at least. A hand shake with him but he was holding 2 bouquet of flowers. Haha...Stayed for about 1 hour for 4th session.

MeiGuan & KwongWai

The most happy moment is I met with Jansen at Grand Hall! It's a surprising one! I never think that he will come to Kampar. He's talking on the phone when I saw him. He's coming to support 3 of his friends. Too bad, I don't have chance to talk with him more & take photo with him. Anyway, I was really too happy to meet him again after 3 months! My happiness is just can't be described in word. 

That's why I am always believing that everything happens for a reason. & I am always able to spot the person I know inside a big crowd! They are always shining! 

p/s: I didn't buy any flower although I am carrying flowers. Haha. Borrowing others' for photo taking purpose. xP

Choice in Life

Let's begin my second post in this semester with a picture taken yesterday!

Guess who are we?

Yes! It's META ex-business team interns! We are Kampar Utarian! MeiGuan, MengSei and MunHao...Could you find the similarities between us? Haha...Again, time flies...Looking back my 3 months internship, it looked very tough and challenging...But I can't deny that fun is much more than hardship. It's somehow is a very different experiences for me throughout the 3 months internship. I know, past is past, we can't chase back. Just left it as memory of part of my life. 

You see, now is already 2 months plus after our internship. Yes, it's all because our time is always full with doing revision in preparing for midterms, doing assignment and preparing for presentation for the past 8 weeks! It never stop especially after CNY. After coming back from CNY, I had a lot of things to do for past 2 weeks and until today I can only slow down my myself.

I have accomplished five tasks for the past 4 days continuously. Why am I so busy? I am not those who do last minute work. You know what? I had settled my part for all assignments long time ago. Yet, I have to edit others part and it was time consuming, really. Why do I need to edit for others? Just because it will affect my coursework mark. I couldn't just leave it go. Sometimes, I really feel like wanna let go but unfortunately I can't. I must read through all the assignments before submission. It's really hard to work with some others who you don't know and you don't familiar with. Well, I have been in comfort zone before because I can team up with my closer friends. I know the rationale behind of an assignment is to train you on how to work together with others. Sometimes, it's really more important than knowledge that you learnt from assignments. 

OK, back to the topic. I was quite happy yesterday. Yes, I completed my first presentation in this semester out of 6 presentation. Why are there so many presentation? Indeed, my course granted for the most number of presentation per semester, always. Does it improve my presentation skill? Well, it did but not much, I think. I am very satisfied with our presentation yesterday because our content get excellent comment from our tutor. It made me feel that my hardwork is paid off. In fact, I have edited quite large part of our assignment. The tutor said we did very well for our assignment. I was quite worried before the presentation because I know that the expectation of this tutor is very high. I really feel stress. Now I know what is so called stress can be your motivator! 

Oh ya...I think you would ask why am I talking such a long piece without any relevance to the picture above? Well, it's a mini gathering for us after the internship. Although we are in Kampar, it's quite difficult to meet up. Kampar is so big huh? Utar is so big? LOL

We, 3 people, MengSei, MunHao and I, were having 3 hours chit-chat session at WingZone. Actually, I also can't recall what we have shared during the gathering. In fact, we didn't expect that we can sit there for 3 hours. Towards the end of our degree life, it's all about your plan for your future. I did see some of my friends start to tell about the future plan, either studying or working, even which type of companies they prefer. Well, I don't have very clear plan yet. What I really worry about is whether I have the ability to work for a company and which type of company shall I work for. There are few options in my mind, actually. However, I don't know whether I will choose any of the options and opt for others. I really have no idea about it. 

The options are as follows:

1. Work in Utar & either continue studying in Utar or other institution or without studying

2. Work in travel agency as tour leader

3. Work in my dad's shop

4. Simply choose a company as long as they hire me

Which one is the best idea?

There's no right or wrong. It just depends on how I choose.

Well, at this moment, there are still a lot of tasks to be completed, 2 tasks per week in the coming weeks. Everything will be done on 2 April.

The tasks are awaiting me...VIVA slides, OM & EN assignment editing, tutorials...But, I don't feel like doing anything~~~

Now, I only have time to rest a while after 2 weeks busy life. 

Slow down myself....At least, for now.

放下，面对，乐观，自信。

Yes! It's my last semester now! Now is week 1. I am still not get used to life at Kampar although I had been here for the past three years. You may wonder why I always repeat the same things every semester. No choice. Frankly speaking, my life at Kampar is actually quite bored. Most of the time I spent in hostel other than going for class. A person tends to think a lot when being alone. It's really true. 

I have only 3 days class in a week this semester. In fact, I have plenty of time to do assignments and all those things. Yet, I was just too relax in this week. It takes some time to get back my motivation to move forward. Leaving the books for at least 4 months and went for internship. My internship is not as relax and enjoyable as others. Instead, it was a challenging one everyday. Although it was challenging and make me feel stressful, I was able to find great moment spending with interns. I have full control of my time after work and during weekend. No worries about any other things. Unlike now, you still have to think of academic things. No more entertainment now. Everything goes back to the original point. Cycling to campus, attending class alone, eating alone, spending most of the time at hostel. 

OK lo...This is good for me! For me to fully focus on my academic. For now, I have to be stronger, believe in myself and my very best for the last semester! As I said before, life is gettig more and more challenging since Year 3 Sem 1. It will continue to be more challenging from this year onwards. I know there's no use to think too much. It won't change anything. 

放下，面对，乐观，自信。

Ok. Week 2 is coming, please don't hide yourself! Please face it with positive heart! No matter you like it or not, just bear with it for 4 months only.

Oh ya...I went for 2nd time blood donation on 15 Jan 2015. This is the first meaningful thing I did in year 2015! hehe...

2.0.1.5

Well, it's my first post in 2015! Welcome to 2015! 

What am I going to share for this first post? Usually, people will talk about whether they have achieved targets set last year as well as targets set for this year.  I couldn't find the list of targets set last year but I think I remember it.There are some extra targets other than the major ones. Err...My targets for these few years are just the same. It's all about maintaining good result, going for vacation in overseas with family and getting a bf. So, is it that I have achieved all my targets? Some yes but some not. Looking back my review of the year...It's still considered a great year for me! 

I think I shall add in new targets for this year. This year is going to be my turning point in my life. Yes! Life is getting more and more challenging! No choice but to go along with it! 

Here are some missions to be completed: complete FYP, do well for last sem exam, find a good job, learn cooking, go for a trip before working, find a bf, attend my convocation!

Yeah! New year, new hope! 22 years old, must be stronger and be a better me! Year 3 Sem 3, last sem! Fight fight fight!!!

CNY is around the corner! Next month is time for us to celebrate CNY again! Err...Thinking of sending out CNY cards again! Took out the past 10 years of CNY cards...Wow...I have been starting doing this since year 2004. Not to show off but just review...haha... It's not easy to maintain friendship. You may meet many people or new friends in a year but not all will be your best friends whom you keep in touch with.

It seems like I did nothing during my holidays after internship. Went to Genting, went to Bentong, went to Kampar for internship presentation, gathering with sistas! That's all! In fact, I wanted to prepare for my FYP but end up doing nothing. Well, need to rush everything after school re-open! 

Attached: a letter to myself last year

致2014年的自己，

2014年，你即将迈入21岁。21岁的你，应该要变得更成熟，独立和勇敢！

3月份的你，会参加一个瑜珈学会举办的“瑜珈营”，而且还是筹委之一。知道你不曾做过筹委，但是请你不要害怕。反之，把它当成一个让你学习和成长的机会。也许，现在对于你来说，这是一项艰巨和充满挑战性的任务，但当你努力把它完成，你会发现当中的满足感是无法用文字来形容的。请你一定要相信自己，你是可以的！

5月份的你，即将踏入大学的最后一年。希望你能够花更多的时间在学习上，以便可以取得优越的成绩，不要辜负家人对你的期望。纵然如此，但请谨记要照顾好自己的身体，不要把自己逼得太紧。只要自己尽了全力，无论结果如何，都不要太自责，因为你已经把最好的一面呈现出来了！

10月份的你，即将要去实习了。这是你第一次踏入社会工作，所以请好好珍惜这次实习的机会，相信它会让你获益良多。平时的你，比较安静，不善于与人交流。希望藉着这次为期3个月的实习，你可以学会人际交往的计巧，以便你在真正踏入社会工作时，更加懂得如何与他人交流。再者，在实习期间，请抱着谦虚的学习态度，万万不能不懂装懂。3个月的实习期，就要让你把在课堂上学习到的知识，应用在工作上。

虽然2014年对于你来说是十分挑战的一年，但是你必须要相信自己，不要放弃，勇敢的面对种种挑战。加油，我支持你！美君  上

Final Review of 2014

Let's begin with my final post in this year! I have abandoned this blog for quite some time due to busying with my internship. Indeed, you won't have much time left after you start working.

I saw lot of people start to review what they have done in this year. Well, I have reviewed it before my internship started. Time flies. Three months past and finally I have done with my internship. I have been exposed to the real working life and it is not easy! A lot and a lot I have learnt. All the challenges I have gone through and many new friends I met! 

There are just too much of incidents happened during three months of industrial training. Sweet, sour, bitter and spicy...All kinds of "taste" I have experienced. My friend asked why am I so stressful? Erm...It is just too difficult to describe. What I can say is stress is all around but somehow it is invisible. 

Tones of workload and fill up all my times. We never go back on time. Anyway, I enjoyed every moment spent with all interns! It's great to meet everyone of you. You all make my life more colorful! I wouldn't experience all these if I didn't meet you all. I just can't imagine how my life will be after I go back to Kampar and continue with my study life. For sure, it will be very bored without you all. 

Let's review my past three months of internship!

15 October 2014 * Aeon Cheras Selatan

First hangout with interns! It's really a precious one! Because we always worked until very late. Thus it almost impossible for us to hangout at night! Luckily, we make it!

We went for a movie after dinner. The first movie I watched during internship. "Dracula Untold". In fact, I seldom watch English movie. It's 2 hours movie. It's 11pm when we step out from cinema. I felt tired, really. Yet, I was happy because I have you all to be my friends. Jansen, Xiao Guang, Chen Yong, Nai Wei, Samuel &Tingfeng.

29 October 2014 * Makhota Cheras

It's the end of my first month of internship and it also marks the end of my seniors' internship~Jansen & Xiao Guang. Thus we have a farewell party with them. Same people as last hangouts. Hehe...It's nothing special but just dinner and yamcha until late midnight. We had our dinner at western restaurant "Wala wala" and continued with yamcha session at Wings. I had dedicated 3 songs to everyone "zhu fu, ta bu dong, hao jiu bu jian". We chit chat for few hours and played some simple games. We shared a lot about our feeling on internship and thanks for advices from Jansen & Xiao Guang. I still remember Jansen words "Give yourself more confidence!". Thank you!

This is the first time we all 8 interns hangout together after Jansen & Xiao Guang left. It has strengthened the bonds between us. Everyone attended. Meng Sei, Rex, Samuel, Chenyong, Deric, Naiwei, Cheewai. A lot of sharing from all of us. We laughed non-stop. Oh yeah!

Internship

10th of October
Yea~It comes to the 10th day of October. It's just too fast. Is this good or bad? The result of last semester was finally out. It's really out of my expectation! It's a great news! It is my second best result in university. I was really happy about that. My cgpa was being pushed up a little bit. Alright, one more semester to go after internship. Hopefully, I can do my best to maintain my cgpa.

Alright, let's come back to the topic! How's my internship? Frankly speaking, I am really stressful. Many people around me told me that this is due to the reason that I still not get used to it. I have told some of friends and my family about my current situation. Thanks for giving me encouragement. Yet, I know that this is my own problem. Nobody is able to solve it except myself. The workload here is heavy. Other than the routine research and development, I am responsible for customer support as well. I face a big challenge now! I am not able to catch the meanings of the customers. Perhaps is due to their slange. Plus I seldom or never watch English movie, causing my poor listening skills. How am I going to solve that? I really have no idea. I am the only "intern girl" in business department. I used to think that boys can easily catch up due to their interest in computer related things. Well, I am a girl who don't have any interest in computing but then I have to use so many software to finish my task.

In this company, we will never go back home on time. Always OT, OT and OT! First month is going to be alright because there are all together 5 interns now. But then after this month, 2 interns are going to leave and we will start to suffer. Now, my job scope is mainly about customer support and some development work. They do assign a senior intern to guide me throughout the customer support process. Yet, I am still in the infancy stage. Thank you for guiding me and soon you are going to leave. What shall I do? I only have about 18 days to learn as much as possible from you and now there's only 10 days left. Haiz...

I really don't know how long can I sustain here. There's 56 days more to go...I hope I can sustain until the end. But if really can't, I also don't know what shall I do. Throughout degree life, I am always asking myself whether I am able to complete everything. Same goes to my internship. I know you will say others can do it, meaning that I am also able to do it. But then, I am really lack of confidence. I am really not a very smart person. I am a slow learner.

Well, I shall believe that everything happens for a reason. Now I can't change the situation, the only way to get rid of it is to get along with it.

How I hope I can attend lecture instead of working ...........
