Countdown 1314

It has been a long time since my last update. Again...

This is the 14th week and also the last week for the classes and the tutorials. This indicates that study week and exam is approaching!! OMG~~ After my SPM, it's rarely for me to celebrate Christmas and New Year eve. For the past 2 years, my friends did ask me out to celebrate it together but I turned them down as I wished to focus in my study. However, I ended up doing something unproductive in the room yet I think it is better than spending time outside. How about this year??

Now, let's talk about the countdown this year. Everyone is so excited about it because the countdown of new year 2014 in mandarin would be 1314跨年 means that the person who countdown with you will love you forever. [201314 = 爱你一生一世] Although this is just a myth and may not be true or can be said as another marketing strategy, yet it is still sounds romantic isn't it?

Has anyone in mind you want to date with? Confession? Proposal? Just do it. This special date only happen once in a million years, do not miss the opportunity!

This is my last countdown in uni life, I shall plan something out on that day. =)

The extension thinking...

My previous post makes me think a lot. Here is another interesting question that I would like to bring out.

Do you choose your partner based on the criteria set or the 'so-called' feeling? 

Everyone has their benchmark and basic "requirements" set in their mind on how they would like their partner (boyfriend/girlfriend) to be. For example:

• must be taller than you
• caring
• bright future
• hardworking
• taking different course from you
• come from the same state and etc...

I believe you have at least one that pop up in your mind now. So, do you fall in love with someone because he/she fulfil the criteria set? This is what we called conditional love relationship. 

Love is blind or rational? I think most of you would say love is blind, but if you try to look at the root cause, don't you get attracted by him/her at first is because he is the one that you have set in mind. Only then it's been developed into the love relationship and you started to be in the stage of 'love is blind'.

On the other hand, if you say that love is based on the 'so-called' feeling, how would you identify and confirm that? Your mind get blank when you see him/her? or your heart beats will just get faster and you couldn't breath well? All these characteristics or symptoms are what we learnt through the movie or drama, but does that really occur in real life. In fact, it's not. It may be true few years back but as people started to know more about this, the true feeling may not be true. Sounds confusing? Let me show you another clearer example. When psychologist reveals that those people who always hold their arm in front of them indicates that they are very protective and as more and more people starts to realize this fact, they will start to control themselves from doing it. This ends up that those people who are protective about themselves may not always hold their arm in front of them. Get the idea of it? Now, let's apply this back to the previous situation. When we started to realize the fact that if you have fall in love with him/her, your heart beats will get faster when meeting up with him/her then subconsciously you'll make your hear beats get faster although you do not know if you like him/her or not. It's just because that you think you should have those symptoms. So now, how could you really know that the 'so-called' feeling is true?? I do not know, this is what I'm trying to search for recently.

In contrast, do you think feeling is the one could drive both of you to be together forever? Feeling is very subjective and abstract. If it can come at a moment, it may leave at the next moment. It's all happen within that MOMENT! Pak~~ Here it is. And Pak~~ There it goes~~

Furthermore, when I see my friends start to get into a relationship and all the sweet moments they have, I am happy for them to find their love one. In the relationship, promise made and some of them end up separated. Within a year, they get into a new relationship again with another girl/guy. I know the fact that they should move on and not to stay at the same location. However, what trigger me is how could they recover so fast? (although a year may not be short) Some commented that they do not forget what happen in the past relationship just they they lock it in a corner of their hearts. Still, if you do not fully forget about that person then do you think it's fair for your current partner?

I know this post consists of a lotss of question but the gist of this post is to make you think! Who is the one that you really want (or LOVE perhaps)? Is it really based on criteria or feeling?? How could you get over it? All this feeling and curiosity of mine may due to my zero experience on this. 

Mate Selection

What a interesting topic I have today. =)

I am now working on an assignment (Sampling Survey) and the topic given is "Survey on the Perception of University Students on Marriage and Criteria for Mate Selection". This is what inspired me to blog on this topic.

When I was filling in the questionnaire, there is this part of question where a list of criteria is listed and we need to rank the important level for each of the criteria. This struck me a lot. What type of person that I am looking for to be my boyfriend, my soul-mate and of course my husband? Who is the ideal man that I wish to spend half of my life with?

Among the criteria listed, I selected

• reliable
• good character
• sincere 
• honest
• fun/loving

All these criteria I believe is quite common for everyone. Furthermore, good cook and housekeeper is VERY VERY important as well. >< Although I like to cook but not many can accept the dishes I cook, because I prefer a lot of spices and all-in-one. =P

However, is all these really important? 
Love is blind!!! 
Sounds so cliché. ><

MING RUI!!!

Hey Ming Rui!!! Today is the day, a great day for you! Finally you can enter the casino? lol XD

It's your 21st BIRTHDAY! Although we didn't get in touch much after you enter UUM. In this whole year, I know there are lotsss of things happen around you (I'm a stalker XP). There were happy one and also something I was sorry to hear about. Whatever it is, you had undergo it and grow into a tougher person! I'm so proud of you and no matter what I still treasure our friendship and glad that you appear in my life. Those memories that we had is always in my mind and we need to catch up soon!

Once again,

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY, MING RUI!!

Dai ko lui lo! 

Have a blast in your AIESEC life!

Late-Evening Jog

Phew... Just came back from a late-evening jog! ><

I jogged from 7th college to varsity late. Then make a turn and passed by DTC and Faculty of Science (a place that he always dropped by huh?).

I never thought that jogging at night would be that scary, wanted to ask a few friends to join but most of them were not back yet or was having meeting just now. When I was at the park (I don't what does it call) with those exercising facilities, I stopped by there and started to play with those exercising facilities. After 10 minutes, there was this guy who waited at the other side. This threaten me and I walked faster. I was relieve when he wasn't following. Pheww once again.

It was just a small round but I was so happy that I sweated! I shall jog more often. Before that, I need to get myself a new pair sports shoe.

Need to back to LECTURE + TUTORIAL life again after skipping class for the one whole week (with permission) and the 3 days holiday. 

P/s: My xiao xiong said I looks more energetic and not that tired. Most importantly, she can see the souls in my eyes. lol XD (I guess it's because of the long holiday or hmm... something else?? xP)

Malaysia's Economics Future Dialogue

I went to an audition for the Malaysia's Economics Future Dialogue during the Investor Day. The Investor Day is on 26th October 2013 and too bad that PEKUMA will be having our Follow Me Trip on the same day as well. For those who do not have anything on that day, do make yourself present for the Investor Day, I think it's something worth attending and it's FREE ADMISSION.

Back to the audition. The audition was suppose to be held on the last Saturday but due to GSY & GES, I couldn't make it on that day. So, the topic that I presented on is:

“What are the main obstacles that will prevent Malaysia from achieving her goal of becoming a developed economy by 2020?”

There were 3 panel of judges and 2 of them actually evaluated us through a conference call.

But seriously, I never know it was something that BIG until I saw the advertisement on RapidKL Bus on Monday. To be honest, I don't think I could get it as I didn't really put in all my effort in it. In contrast, I think my senior, Siew Bee should get it because she is really passionate in all these academical events and research thingy. She worked on this topic for 4 days and came out with a research paper on this topic. I admit that she is really well prepared as compared to me.

All the best for her in getting selected as one of the students for the Malaysia's Economics Future Dialogue.

Fighting~~ 

>^.^<

Clarification?

I always wanted to sort things out and thinking that we could clarify everything when we meet up. Well, everything goes well without any clarification. 

Lesson of the Day:

Sometimes, clarification can be non-verbal.

Great Start Ahead

After 3 weeks of comprehensive and concentrated planning, here we are! From the MHS slot to the i-Week and finally the interview session for the project committee. To be honest, I was kinda demotivated at first and lack of confidence towards the future path of PEKUMA but now, my PROTON (not the car please) is back!! I'm now fueled and ready to bring PEKUMA to a higher level. 

All we need is YOU to be part of us!

ARE YOU READY TO BE WITH US??

PEKUMA 13/14 FIGHTING~~

Emo? Yea... Maybe?

I miss him so badly. Those emo feeling strike on me again. Too many things happen around today... family, pekuma, fyi conference... Where are you? Can we just meet up one day? I dislike things to be uncertain. Shall we just clarify everything one day?

Hmm... just another emo post, ignore me la...

PEKUMA 1314 fighting!

We have spent 2 days 1 night at GENTING HIGHLANDS. I was quite worry at first. The attendance rate isn't as what we expected. It ended up that only 11 executive members manage to make it for our planning camp. However, that does not bring us down. =D

The trip start off with the simple ice breaking game. Introduction of yourself with additional adjectives in front of the name. We have got juicy Justina and many other funny names. It continued with the formal part and running man game in the midnight.  =D

It was a fruitful trip, we have finally come out with our timeline of activities for 2 semesters.  Wanna know what excitong activities that we gonna brinh to you? Stay tuned for more updates on PEKUMA.

Maturity

I'm not sure how could I start off this post. At this point,  I realised that I'm really bad in articulating my thoughts.

What I can say is, "Ge, I'm so proud of you!"

Stay Tuned for More~~

Last few days of holiday and I am working on the presentation for PEKUMA Slot on tomorrow. Although it's just a 15 minutes slot but I hope that it could create an impact in the juniors' life and manage to 'brainwash' them to join PEKUMA, hopefully.

When I was working on the presentation, I googled for PEKUMA and I found a few interesting blogs of my seniors. I can fully understand their feeling when I read their posts. The dilemma and the expectations.

Look forward to meeting you guys (my lovely juniors) tomorrow. See you~~

Welcome to the Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEA) and PEKUMA!! ><

Finally FINISH my Exam ........... of the Week

4 papers continuously in 3 days?? That's crazy and tiring. It don't even allow me to have any moment to complaint on how badly I did in each paper.

Lesson of the week:

Be aware of the exam schedule when you were trying to register for courses.

I did check on the exam date actually and I do not know what happen, ended up that I have a crazy exam week. No matter how, I have FINALLY get over the tough week.

However, I still have one last paper to go. But since I have been so discipline at least for the past 1 week, I decided to give myself a break for tonight where NO BOOKS AND NOTES for tonight. 

Some photos that I took when I was dead bored with the notesss... =P

My messy study table... XP

Look insane? Yea, I am

WooHoo~~ Formulae on the window, my masterpiece. XD

Macro summary maps~~ ^^

Tada~~

PEKUMA's President?

Should I continue joining PEKUMA??? 

Should I go for the nomination of PEKUMA's President?? 

Should I go for the election???

In deep dilemma now.

11 Weeks = 1 Year?

Oh well, it is another long period. Absolute 7 months. =P In almost all my post especially the one that within these 2 years, I ended my post or mention in the post that I should update my blog more often. However, I'm always fail in doing so. =P I almost forgotten the existence of this blog until one of my friends mentioned about it. XP

I am back again after 7 months!! What happen to me recently?? To be honest, after 11 weeks of my forth semester in UM, this is the busiest semester that I ever had. I wanted to post what have I done within this 11 week, but when I open my photo gallery, I was like, "Did all these happen within just 11 weeks?". It is too much if I will have to explain it one by one. 

In short, here are the activities that I joined or participated, starting from my semester break until today: (according to chronological order =P)

- 2 weeks preparation camp for Quan Zhong Hua

- Malaysian Business Students Summit (MBSS)

- 12th Young Economists Convention: Malaysia Regional Convention

- Quan Zhong Hua Final Station

- FYI's Seminar: How to invest like an idiot and trade like a pro?

- YLA Information Session

- FEA Night Workshop + Bonding Trip

- Hong Leong Foundation Scholars Camp

- Bioelements Workshop

- Focuz-GenY Workshop

- Citrawarna Za'ba

- FEA Night 2013

- CC Reunion Dinner

- AppointmentssSS

- Photography SessionssSS

- Interview SessionssSS

 - MeetingsssSSssSSS

Woah~~ How did I go through all these?? 

Among all these activities, the one that I would like to share the most is 
FEA NIGHT 2013

We had our late dinner on 13th May 2013. On that night, I can feel the emptiness. An event that I have been busy with since the starting of the semester. I stayed at my faculty for more almost 12 hours everyday. Everything has finally come to an end.

From a deputy director and get promoted to the director of the project due to some reason. A project with more than 3 months of preparation ended up with 2 months of preparation due to the changed in the organizing committees. The whole preparation process seems like undergo a lot of obstacles.

FEA Night 2013 is the second project of PEKUMA that I hold the position as the Director. =) From i-Week 2012 to FEA Night 2013, my leadership style was totally different and it taught me a lot. Thinking from a different perspective that affect the unity among members (bonding) and the effectiveness of an instruction. I learnt a lot from the whole preparation process.

I have a lot of things to say but it may end up with a post full with electron with all those complaints. Thus, to make it short and simple, this projects allowed me to deal with all sorts of people and and grow up more. I am a girl who like to think a lot and very particular with every single details. For the whole 11 weeks, whatever happen will struck me into thinking that how can I improve myself and how can it affect others. Even until this moment, it never stop me from thinking back the whole organizing and preparation process and how could I make it better next time. ^^ (it's quite tiring though)
