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!

Additional Blog- Instagram

All these pictures are from my instagram. Is an Iphone app where I can edit photos and post my current things that I do.

I do treat it like a blog as well. I will try my best to update this blog of mine as much as I can.

If you have an Iphone please go get instagram. Is wonderful app!

Bye Bye!

:)

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!

:)

A New Year

Well, I'm back to my blog. I feel sorry for my blog. Feel unconnected to my blog anymore. Constantly don't know what to write about. I guess I just need to search for the right topic every time.

Anyway, is a brand new year! Lately I read some of my friends' blogs and I heard lots of cases. Some of them start of the year quite unpleasantly but some are just doing really well in the beginning of the year. I'm glad those who are doing well and I hope those who are experiencing harsh time, just open up your mind and go for the best you can!

For me, I'm excited for this new year. I'm excited about uni but at the same time I feel challenged as well because I can see lots of obstacles coming towards me in uni especially assignments. I always thought that I got lots of time but look right now! Is January and February is coming soon! Also a shout out for RMIT. FYI RMIT, you haven response me! I'm gonna be patient just a few more days and I will know the result. It is kind of confirm that by middle of Feb I will go off to Australia for good. Been feeling so tangled all the time. Is like my feelings are like going up and down. I can be worried, then sad, then happy, then excited and more. All I know is I really understand how Wen Wu, Jasmine and the other friends who have left for study feel like.

On the other hand, I'm so looking forward for CNY! Even though the numbers of relatives coming to my house are lower but is ok. As long as family and relatives all come together united and have some quality time together. Recently been having the urge to shop, I guess I'm been controlling myself not to buy more stuff if not cupboard gonna burst soon. I know time is so limited these days and weekdays I'm working until quite late. So almost every night I will sleep late because I feel not satisfied like the day is ending already. And I will always do my best to fill up my weekends with lots of outings. Do not care if is anyone (Friends, Family, Relatives, Cousins or anyone). I do not even mind some arguments. I know I'm crazy but I just want to seize whatever moments I can.

Ok. That's all for now!

:)

Proud Of You

Hey People! Really. Seriously. Not here to show off. But I'm just way too proud. My litte boy (Max) and his partner managed to get into semi-final of his Cooking Competition. But in the end didn't manage to go into final. Well it doesn't matter to me. You are still a winner.

He cooked 'Roti John' for his Quarter Final and cooked 'Cheezy Corn Chicken' for his semi Final. To me you did well and the food that you cooked are great! I know it.

I can see that younger generations in my time are becoming more talented than before. Talent like Cooking, Designing, Drawing, Singing, Dancing and more. So parents please do not cover up your children's talents. Even though you may think is disgraceful but please let the child embrace his or her own talent. Who knows maybe the talent will bring them somewhere far and good?

Time to Sleep! Good night!

:)

Great Escape For Me

I know I know been MIA for so long. I somehow lost of ideas what to write on my blog. But not to worry will still keep myself update it. Blog is part of my life too.

Well recently just got back from Hong Kong. Felt so nice to travel again. This time without my parents and I felt freedom at the same time relaxed too. There are lots of things I did in HK. I'm gonna summarize alright.

Day 1:

Cousin Jin Xiang, Little bro (Max) and me travelled to HK.

Went to 'The Peak'. Is the highest point of the mountain in HK to look at city view of HK. Incredible view especially the night time. Of course to get up there. There are a lot of ways. Well 3 of us chose the Tram. Is fast and convenient. Then right after that, we went to see the street in HK. One of the famous street will be 'Lan Kwai Fong'. Is the street fill with lots of pubs, restaurants, cafes and shops.

Day 2:

Ocean Park

I'm been to Disneyland HK before but not Ocean Park. It was really fun. Actually I feel is better than Disneyland. Basically 3 things impressed me the most. 1) Thrilling Rides, 2) Dolphin Show and 3) Aerobatics Stun. The rides were equal level of thrilling feeling just like the Universal Studio. Other than that, I just love water animals like Dolphin, Seal, Turtle, Sea Lions except Sharks. The Dolphins look elegant at the same time smart too. Also, the stun showed by the aerobatics were amazingly shocking. Who won't be surprised by stun?

Day 3:

'Cheong Chow' Island & Avenue Of Stars

'Cheong Chow' Island is a fishing village. An island full of fisherman, lots of seafoods and lots of hiking path. So all 3 of us rented bicycles and just cycled around the island. I still love the beach area. Strong Wave and Strong Wind Blowing make the air smelled really breezy. Then we had seafood for lunch. After that, we looked around at the Avenue of the Stars where there are lots of Artists' Hand Prints and Names on the floor. I was kind of happy to see Aaron Kwok, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh and more.

Day 4:

'Tai Zi' And Mong Kok

'Tai Zi' is where there are rows of streets selling flowers and birds only. Really fascinated by the fact that I can actually find all kinds of birds and flowers. Then shopping around Mong Kok.

Day 5: Airport and Back to KL.

Even though I feel my tiredness have been add on from the trip but it was worth it. I did enjoy a lot. That's all about Hong Kong.

:)

Passion

Just a few days back. I went for a briefing with my little bro. He signed up with a friend of his for cooking competition. I'm impressed and I know he has the passion for cooking. I just hope he will do his best in the competition. Win or Lose it doesn't matter because it is still a good experience. Well in the briefing, there were a few performances. Also, I was abled to find a good spot to see the whole performances. I was fascinated especially dancing. Compare to Singing and Dancing I will still choose dance. I know where my strength lies. At that moment when I saw a bunch of young students came out and danced. I was over the moon and I just want to join up on stage to do dance again. I miss those days when I could just simply dance around on the stage whenever I want. Dancing makes me happy and I know I have the passion for it. But I know Dancing can never be my career because in reality it is not a stable job and I won't risk myself to do so. Dancing will be my passion and hobby that's all.

Recently been Obsess with Taylor Swift. Can't get her songs off my head and her songs are all so soothing plus calming. She just won 3 AMAs lately and I think she deserved it.

That's all for now. Is pouring outside. Have a great ahead guys!

:)

Is It Good Or Bad?

Lately been start having a good habit that is read newspaper everyday. Those of you who know me well. I'm consider weak in language and I just dislike to read reports or articles. I find it really boring. But you know. Sometimes certain interests can be create within yourself. My papa always ask me to read more newspaper to know what's going on in the world and to gain knowledge. At first, I will read the newspaper reluctantly but when I start to read more often like everyday. I realize I like to read a bit of business section, moderate local news and majority of world news. Thanks to Papa's nagging on me to read more if not I wouldn't know so much more now. So guys and girls do not give up on something tough, nature it slowly and somehow the interest can be created.

Now the main purpose of me blogging today is because I want to release some of my unhappy stuff here. Bear with me blog, I just need a space to speak up. I do understand that different people have different opinions, different way of dealing things and different judgement about certain things. So of course different opinions can be clashed and disagreements always happen. Been working for a few months already and I'm getting used to the people working together with me. But sometimes I just don't like some bad attitudes and some rude way of handling things that I seen with my own eyes. I just can't stand it. Therefore even for myself the worst thing is I argued with the people I love. Small arguments can be good for improving relationship but if it got really serious and intense is bad. Been feeling all Frustrated, Angry, Miserable and Guilty ain't nice. I never like to point out the ugly truth and weakness others have. If I do not have a choice, I will force myself to point out then.

After arguing with the people I love, the worst thing is I'm not only hurting them but also myself. I'm also tired of being the middle man. People will back step each other for real and do I seem like the person who is interested to find out what you back step on? I mean is not like something you should be proud of and nobody would be happy to hear all these nonsenses. There are times I really do feel like giving up and just leave everything behind. I'm tired. Really tired, heart broken and feel sickening. This world is fill with lots of self-centered people and inconsiderate people. I tell myself if I give up right now. I'm not doing myself a favour but destroying myself. So that is why no matter how tough thing is I will do my best to solve it myself and be independent because the truth is no one will really come scope you up when you are defeated. Maybe just some.

Been holding onto all these unhappy stuffs for awhile. For now I will remain headstrong and as positive as I could. Till next.

:)

My Last Teen Birthday: 19 (Part 2)

On the 13/11/2011,

Steph, her sis and I went out for lunch as a celebration. Before I meet them, I remembered I was really excited to meet Steph because is been a long time we meet. At first I was kind of puzzled don't know where to eat. But at last I managed to choose 'Fong Lye'. Kept thinking of food to eat that is not western nor Japanese so Taiwan Food it is. I had miso paste fish set and they had steam fish set.

Even though lunch was kind of short but it was a good catch up. Will meet up soon!

When the sun falls and is time for family dinner on the 13/11/2011,

As you can see, I had Japanese Food for dinner. Initially my dad's plan was to go to one of the best Japanese Food in KL at Old Klang Road but it was full. So we all ended up at Fukuya, Jalan Tun Razak. I felt that the dinner was really good. Really peaceful and beautiful environment. At the same time good food. And is quite worth it come to think of it. Order 3 dinner sets and some side dishes for 7 people. Each dinner sets cost RM 70. The best part is I didn't feel bloated at the end of dinner if not I will puke.

Well that's all about my celebration. Time for some appreciation.

Mama and Papa bought me a formal pants for uni. I wanted one so long ago and you guys did read my mind. Both of you are the best parents I could ever ask for. Thank you for the dinner. Thank you for raising me up well and Thank you for been with me when I needed help the most. Love you both dearly and forever.

Didn't expect this present at all. Dear Cousin Li Wen. We have been cousins for 19 years of my life. You are a great designer I know that and I will do anything to help you if you need it. Sometimes you are mean and evil but overall you are a good person. The jacket is cool on the outside but warm on the inside. Thank You!

Dear little boy (Max). You used your own savings money to buy me a present. What more can I say. I'm flattered and proud to be your brother. Hoodie is always handy in cold places. So thoughtful of you. I'm starting to like Purple. Thank You boy!

To be honest Steph, never knew I would find great friend like you. College is definitely a very different culture for me. So I am really glad I found you. Hats and I always don't get along but this one in the pic fits perfectly alright. Now I can bring to Aus. Thanks for the hat and the card! Help me thanks your sis for the Naruto key chain!

The last present to announce. You guys prove that words and pictures can be an incredible gift as well. Those pictures did remind me some of the epic moments I experienced and those words tell the truth of everything. I felt really appreciated and until now I can't stop not to look through the pictures and the words because I find it hard to believe. Thank You Jien and Alex!

You know I always put this statement in my mind. 'Service above self'. It means to provide service to the others rather than yourself first. I know when I want to help anybody, I will do my very best to help with my own ability. And once I helped that person, I do not expect any return from them because it ain't right. But sometimes in life everybody needs a little appreciation to have the driving force in life. This year I realized by going through my birthday I can see I really really do have amazing, awesome friends and a wonderful family surrounding me. I am grateful to those who had celebrated my birthday and wished me.

This is my last birthday in Malaysia and words can't even describe my feelings. Is getting really late now. So Good night everyone!

:)

My Last Teen Birthday: 19 (Part 1)

As promise earlier. I'm blogging again. Well I'm gonna talk about my 19th birthday for the whole process. Not here to show off but showing my deepest gratitude and appreciation. Is gonna be very long post. There will be Part 1 and Part 2. So keep up alright!

On the 10/11/2011,

Honestly on the 10th Nov. I don't feel like a 19 year old boy seriously. Basically I went to work like the other normal days. But I already know what's going to happen next. You see the cake I was cutting is actually bought by me. Now this is funny. My dad assigned me this weirdest task which was actually buy a cake for myself and one of my colleague. I feel super weird about it but I was doing it for my colleague. Oh ya. My colleague is the one who is wearing blue beside me in the picture. Her birthday is on the 11/11/2011. Such a small world right?

So I feel glad to be able to share my special day with her.

Up next 12/11/2011,

I remembered 2 of my good friends ask me at the same moment out for dinner on the 12th Nov. I swear I was so happy till I jumped off the chair I was sitting on. Well I was excited. Can't help it. Haha So I met with the entire gang and with my little bro (Max) as well at the 'Garden Restaurant' at Mid Valley. I actually been to that restaurant for a few times but not with my gang. Of course the deco is nice and food was delicious but I know that all of us weren't satisfied enough because we ain't full yet.

Then we went for Snowflake. One of my favorite dessert ever.

Snowflake is addictive and very easily hooked on. I love the new one 'Japan Combo 2'. Almost all of us had our own bowl and right after we finished eating. Suddenly this came out..

A full box of donuts. Until now I still do not know how they hid this big box. Looks like I'm not the only one who is sneaky. I recalled I can't stop smiling, made a wish and non stop blowing off the candles. First time having donuts instead of cakes. Is Functional and Fun.

After that, we walked around. Took some epic pictures and went back home.

That's all. Wait for Part 2

:)
