Year 1, Sem 2

Hello! Is the start of the new semester again! Currently Year 1, Sem 2! I feel a slightly senior feeling in me even though I'm still in Year 1. Well because I see a huge difference in me in this semester. I'm not as blur like the previous semester, I feel more capable and because I'm experienced in sorting out uni stuff. I saw quite a number of new students in Uni that reminds me a lot of myself. Really lonely and clueless of how to walk around in such a huge campus. I feel lucky now, at least I have some friends here but I'm sure of it that the new students here will eventually adapt, have fun and make tons of new friends. 

Week 1 is finally over for me. At the moment, I'm satisfied with my timetable, of course last semester was better. I'm taking these 4 courses which are very new to me. Quantitative Economics & Business Analysis, Business Law, Computer Information System and Valuation Principles. Honestly, the only one I'm really keen about is the Valuation Principles. Is like finally a thing that I really want to learn and study about. I'm gonna explain a little about all my courses. 

For Quantitative Economics, the lecturer has a really weird accent, always create jokes that are not funny and laugh at himself. Anyway, is all about statistics like probability, standard deviation and etc. Is like doing mathematics all over again. I feel ok about it but I'm not a fan of probability. Then Business Law is actually very interesting. I feel like I have to put on a detective mind set in order to solve the problems. My lecturer is very strict about the entire course, even the course structure itself is really fixed and lots of reading that needs to be done.

Computer Information System is just plain dry content. Content of the course is so boring and basically is like learning how to use Microsoft Excel. But then lecturer says that there is a high percentage of students getting a distinction. So is a must to get distinction! Last but not least, Valuation Principle is just good. I like the course structure because it really does make sure every student knows how does a valuer value a land or a property. No regret choosing Real Estate. 

Currently still trying to get a part time job. I didn't know is that difficult to find one. I thought is always very simple to get one. It can be a little demotivating when you didn't get what you want, I just want to try to be independent to get some income on my own. So I have decided if I don't get any part time job by the end of week 2, then I would focus on my studies, volunteer for people and participate in my club. Is the least I could do. I'm also trying to sell off my old text books, but seems like no one response as well. Things ain't going that smooth here, but I know if I keep on trying one day I will achieve what I want! 

No doubt this semester will be a challenging one, so I just need to do my best! Till the next post! Goodbye!

Dilemma

Have you ever experience a  dilemma? When you are totally not sure which road, direction or choice to be made. 

I remembered when I was having my major exams during exam period in June. My Uni friend manage to have a talk with me about dreams and what kind of career I want to pursue. My friend of mine did a psychology and personality test on me in order to determine what kind of person I am. One important question she asked me was: What does realistic dreams mean to you? I answered: Dreams that are real, actual and possible. She immediately rejected my answer she told me realistic dreams are the dreams that you make it possible. I was stunned like a scarecrow. The only thing that came across my mind was dance. I always thought that dance will not be my career, but when you know you love something so much. You will not stop doing it and stop not to think about it. Indeed it is dance that will always be in my mind. If you are refer as great dancer means you are born and talented in dance, but if you are refer as good dancer instead of great. It means you have the ability to dance well but not passionately. My friend told me live your life like you want it, not live your life to fulfill duties for others. Dance and Real Estate were both my dilemmas.  

I started to panic and went into deep thoughts mode trying to puzzle my life properly. And then I finally understand why I didn't choose dance instead of real estate. These are my reasons:

1) Shelter life of dance is short, but real estate I can do it for life. 

2) If I study real estate, I am able to help and contribute to the society more compare to dance. 

3) I need a secure job and an easier way to make a living in life.

4) I am not a person who knows what I really want to be since young and real estate is a brand new path for me to explore. 

5) I love to create new development and make a change in an area with incredibly nice design. 

6) I am a person who wants to help my dad to fulfill his dream and continue to develop more new areas. 

7) I want to be a professional Valuer once I graduated from University. 

8) There are so much more things I am very keen to learn and to know about real estate. 

9) I want to earn lots of money and travel around the world. With real estate, I believe I can achieve that. 

10) Most importantly I am a family person who would want to earn lots of money to take care of the entire family. 

    

I guess at this age. Most of us are still searching for ourselves. To know better and to understand ourselves better. But I am really glad right now, I can differentiated properly between dance and real estate. 

Conclusion: 

Dance- Hobby

Real Estate- Career

I am not going back on my words! I won't give up!

Exam Coming

Hi I'm back!

I admit. I do have peer pressures a lot whenever my friends update their blogs. I guess I can be competitive most of the time. Peer pressure is basically in short explanation to be a kiasu. Whenever someone else have something new, and usually I would think I want that. 

As you can see my title for this post. Exam is coming. How I wish sometimes I can be very kiasu in my studies and exam. I'm not saying kiasu is good, but being kiasu makes you have the strong will power and desire to do something. I can be very kiasu in other stuff but why not exam and studies? 

Been feeling super guilty for not putting enough effort in my studies. Sometimes can be quite saddening. Well now I'm taking a break from studies. I will just try really hard on my exams I guess. 

What really happen to my fire burning I wonder? 

Status Report: 

Management: Steady

Accounts: Steady

Building Construction: Steady

Microeconomics: SCARED LIKE SHIT! 

5 more days to exam! Can't wait to go back Malaysia (24th July 2012!)

Attachment

Hi! Ever since I'm here, Brisbane. My sweet tooth just keep popping out. Nowadays I can eat one whole bar of chocolate within one day or eat one whole junk of ice cream within 2 days. Maybe is because I keep thinking of new food to try on especially dessert or I'm stressing. At least now I'm alert and concern about this. I will control and resist like those days in Malaysia. My family background is famous for having diabetes, so sugar level must be balance. 

I feel so relieved and relaxed right now. These past few weeks, I had been eating stuff that is totally unhealthy such as noodle late night, fried chicken late night and no vegetables and no fruits. Is also because of exams and assignments. I couldn't care less at that time. I just eat what I can see. Pathetic huh? Now I'm fully charged, no longer tired any more.   

 

If you follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. You will know I just past through an unforgettable event, AUG. This is my first time volunteering for something this big. My heart will pump faster whenever my supervisor give me any kind of task because I have no experienced in this! On the last day of the big event which was last Friday. I was assigned to be in this group of people to do Marketing for the event. There will be 3 teams of Marketing competing for the incentives. Neither do I don't know what is the incentives. Anyway, my team mates are just the funniest people I worked with. We are the winner Marketing team! :) I was practically shocked because most of the time we were really taking pictures around and playing around. Well of course if it was because of our leader in the group, we wouldn't achieved something great. Now I feel like going back to Volunteer but sometimes in life doing something once with nice experience is enough. Must look forward to the future with dreams and vision, not look back on mistakes and live right there. Also, I finally got the UQ red bottle! Is so nice until almost everyone in AUG fighting for it! Now I can use it in Gym. 

Other than that, I went for UQMSA aka the Malaysian Society Club Interview Workshop. It was very inspiring and motivating. I learned what you can do in interviews and what you are not suppose to do in interviews. Very Practical. That's what I like to learn by doing it and experiencing it yourself. The most epic moment was the speaker kept calling me 'The Real Estate Boy', just because I'm the only one who is studying that field in the whole club. Oh come on! I realized a big thing in me. That I'm too shy and not active enough. In A-levels, my life was like studying, hang out and then go back to studying. Now come to think of it, that is way too plain in life. I'm gonna aim really high right now. Starting next sem you will see a new me! (a Hint: I'm gonna be a committee of UQMSA) If you don't aim high, you will not be even close to your dream. So start now people!   

I can't wait for tonight movie! Avengers with my room mates! Excited! Right now, I'm gonna do some of my work and go for the Buddha Festival then movie night!  

Exam timetable is a bitch. It just doesn't want to show me. I'm trying to book my flight ticket UQ! -.- I hope one day I will have really good friends that I can really count on in Brisbane. I just need a few, don't need a lot. 

Till Next!

Take Care

(People complaining to me..... Chip Chip Chip!)

I know I know. I neglect this space. Sorry. A lot of people complain to me that my blog missing and no update. Well I have reasons. oh. I'm in Australia already! Brisbane! Before aus I was busy packing and when I start uni busy with work sheets and assignments.

Uni is never ending of work unless is holiday! Well first up. I am very good right here! Met a bunch of friends. But still not close yet. It felt exactly like College life where I don't really click well with friends. It is even worst than college because everyone is from different program. That's why is difficult. I don't think I'm anti social and maybe because I do not know the art of communication. Basically I had been living by myself alone quite some time. And it sucks to feel that! Lucky I have my room mates. I have total 4 other room mates. They are all very friendly, nice and clean people.

I feel so lucky that I bump into them. We hang out together and share what have we done for the day. In terms of my health, I am very concern. Every since I got here. My health seems not so good. This coming Tuesday gonna do a blood test.

Homesick? Yes definitely. I had never in my life leave my family and my friends aside. I felt bad part of me. Well because I have always been taking up a lot of duty and responsibilities.

3 Duties in my life very important:

Duty to myself: Make sure I am good in order to help others.

Duty to family: Make sure everyone is good. Help out in the family and contribute.

Duty to friends: Listen what they want. Give advice and been with them if they need me.

Now I'm here. And I can't really help.

But I believe so back in Malaysia each and every one of them will be fine without me. So I hereby wish everyone at Malaysia best of luck in everything and take care!

Miss you guys! :')

Is Confirm

I'm back! Got a news to announce. I'm going to University of Queensland for real! This is because I didn't get the RMIT offer. At first I was quite sad about it. You know when people focus onto the things that they want so desperately, somehow expectations are there. So I ended up making myself sad for no reasons. Dad told me: You shouldn't be sad because the things that do not belong to you means you didn't lose anything. That strike my mind completely. I was awaken and I'm ready to go full force on uni. RMIT is your loss! UQ is also a better uni. Extremely excited gonna have a campus life! Lately been quite stress sorting out uni stuff. So right here I wish to have good timetable, able to meet good friends and just have a good life!

Is still CNY! And I just love CNY. Been able to meet your relatives is a blessing. Just simple gathering and have meal together is also a good way of bonding. I'm just a happy boy.

Been preparing a bring list for UQ. I'm gonna start packing. Till next! Happy CNY everyone!
