I'm still surviving..

After one year of studying in TAR college, i'm still surviving.

One year ago, it wasn't planned for me to enter TAR College. I was suppose to do Graphic Design in MMU Cyberjaya. I applied and i waited. It didn't came. Dad ask me to look for a backup. With my pathetic SPM results (only 2as). Where could i go?

Luckily i had enough credits. So i decided to look up TAR College. I read about the courses and this course attracted me. I use to hear TAR College is well know for their business courses, not the IT courses. I decided to give a shot at Information Systems Engineering. I downloaded the application form online and submitted it.

And now, here i am. MMU gave me IT in Melaka campus. So i decided to come here instead. Since it offer the course i opt for in TARC.

One year ago.

First semester, i was trying to fit it. I was trying to not be the odd one out, i used to sit alone in lectures, put on my ear phones, and just look at the lecturer lecturing. And then, i had problems. I don't know how badly it effects me emotionally but i know it did. First semester was a bitter pill to swallow. But i carried on, pulling myself together. The subjects where interesting, at least i'm interested to learn. I did think about, what if i'm not interested, what if i study halfway then i give up ? Then came exam, First Semester, GPA 3.3333.

And then came second semester. There seem to be a light shone at me. I know i was not lost anymore. I've made friends, i've done well, i'm adapting. And something happened, that turned my world upside down, from wrong to right, from pain to happiness. It's a great feeling. Semester 2 was a great one. A few blinks and then came exam again. This time i felt i worked quite hard, but not hard enough. Result ? GPA 3.68

Semester 3. I thought it was gonna be easy. With subjects like Web Page Design, which is my favourite, and Tamadun Islam, still not loving it. I don't know if i've done enough, but two subjects would be easy to achieve. It's a 50/50 way, either you win or you lose, because there's only two subs.

And on today, i collected my exam result slip, open it up, and i saw the letters A and a GPA 4.0.

I know it's nothing to some of you smart people out there. But this is the first time i got a 4 Flat. I'm very happy about it. I was lucky too i guess. Even it's a small achievement, but it will be an inspiration to work harder. It definitely boost my confidence a little higher.

I can sense further obstacles are waiting for me.

It's gonna be a busy week. I've a meeting to attend. Swimming lessons to attend. I'm a student assistant, which means i earn money as i teach swimming. Yay extra income ! Booths to attend to, also another extra income, take care of the paper booth where they distribute papers to students who subscribed. At times i get really exhausted because of the long sessions in college. It's really tiring, but i can't complain. Although i love to rot at home.

but i think i'm getting lazy soon. LoL

I'm curious to know who drops by here. Please leave a message in my tag box so that i'd know. Just curious. =). I know usually i blog to myself. I know a few people that sometimes drop by. but i don't update really that often. I know one persons who always comes here. ;)

I've been thinking of changing the design of my blog.

How is this for a start ?



Until then..

The Shark..

Yes, I'm known to my lil cousins as the Shark. because of my head. Other than that, i'm also known as egg head.

Anyhow, i was back in Penang for my uncle's wedding, and it was great. Well, the food was great, make me gain a few pounds more. I've been not exercising because of my leg and i'm here eating my heart out. LoL

My trusty Samsung Phone with 1.3Mp Cam, Uncle's wedding car.

Funny thing is, i brought my camera and it's charger back, but on the wedding day, i turned on the camera to find, i didn't bring back the memory card. How delightful, i got scolded by my dad for being so careless.

That would be my uncle and his wife, me, my sis (in black) and my cousin sis.

Well weddings are weddings, but this would be the first time i attended a mass for a wedding in church. Never done that before. The traditional chinese ceremony was followed too. My uncle would be my grandma last child to get married. She has 6 children, including my mum.

Beauty and the Shark.

As i've cut my hair, Theng was actually scared, to see this change in me, she was scared i turn into a "lala". She prefer me with my hair long and shaped like a coconut head. Most importantly, she's afraid i'll look "lala". LoL.

The Lala (top) and the not so Lala (bottom)

Back to college on monday morning, this would be the first time, i'm attending all lectures, and i'm doing all my tutorial. I'm just very happy at myself. I am hoping to continue doing this till the end of semester. Even though i hate the long hours of classes. and the long breaks in between. Plus SWC( Student Welfare Committee ) meetings till late evenings. I've never been so busy before. I hate going to lectures actually, but since now they are taking attendance. *sigh*

Lazying around. SWC commitees.

Of course i still have time for leisure. I'm actually not a very good planner, i do make bad time management once in a while. Like when i always wake up just in time for class, and i'm always at least 5 minutes late. I just love to sleep.

Just updates on life these days.

Up down left and right, but my leg hasn't heal yet.

Until then...

This is so uncool.....

One thing i hate about my appearance is my hair. It's because i don't have a clue on how to cut my hair. When it's long, i just tell the hair stylist to trim and cut short. There are a few times which i had bad hair cuts.


Last year in Genting. Click 5 style, according to Kok Chyan

I always complain that i don't know how to style my hair. I don't really like to use wax or gel, because when my hair itches, i hate it.


You can see i don't usually style my hair

All these years i look the same, even theng always say my hair is always like this. When i cut my hair, mum will ask, you got cut your hair meh ?


It's hard to do anything when my hair is long..and my nose is crooked !!

Anyway, i'm back in Penang now for my Uncle's wedding. In the meantime, i decided to get a hair cut. I was planning to just trim it, but i end up looking like this.

Ohh wait, wrong picture. I wished i look like him.

I decided to try something different, like, take a risk, try it, something that will make me look fresh. Through the hair cut, i couldn't really see myself because i had my glasses off. That's what i hate about getting a hair cut, not able to see yourself is just plain wrong. You won't know when something goes wrong. Well, i told the hair stylist to cut like this anyway, and well, it turned out quite like what i expected, but seriously, i don't know whether it's nice or not.

And i will reveal it here...
