5th Sem Results Out!

Ms. Maz, the one who you can't rely on her information, told us one day before the results out that results would be released on 30th November!
Hm!
Luckily, LiXia posted on facebook so that Angie noted it when checking her Facebook finally at Alicia's house at Ipoh on the second day of our Ipoh Trip.
Fine! We took turns to check. First, congrats to Thuyen who finally got GPA 3.0 with the power of love from Angie~ hee..Also, to Angie who got full A's. For me, I did improve but not that surprising to see my results- Psy101 (A) & MKT 301 (B+). In fact, I really aimed for at least an A- for sales management. But, even Liya also got the same as me, so, this can conclude that Ms. Putri really marked strictly in final.

I'll be taking 5 subjects next sem: ENG260,ECN222,MPW,PHL & to be confirmed. ^.^

Hopefully, I could score at least GPA 3.5 also in my next long sem! =)

bye bye 5th sem~

My 5th semester studying at INTI just ended 5 hours ago when the clock stroke at 7pm, indicating my last paper for final ended! Psychology was my last paper. Due to short semester (7 weeks), I took 2 subjects- Sales Management & Psychology! I really studied hard this semester for my Psychology and tried to study in my Sales Management (too boring this subject =/ ). Glad to say that I finally scored 50/60 for my both coursework marks, showing a possibility for me to get 2 As', or even 4.0 if I really put more effort because both lecturers are quite lenient when marking our assignments and test papers. =)

As I promised to myself last semester, I'll improve in this semester. I can't wait to show mom that I really learnt my mistakes last semester in handling my work and show my brother that we should learn from mistakes. His results are deteriorating seriously but he still shows no guilt.

Time to plan for my real future ~

having approach-avoidance conflict now whether I should follow mom's words to take International business. I'm not sure whether I really will choose business as my final career in my life. I'm planning to major in psy field as what I thought last time. Perhaps, educational psychology~ =)

Being invited daysss...

First, I was being invited to Carol's church belated celebration of Mooncake Festival on Saturday. It was a surprise when I received Anson's call to invite me to their church for belated celebration of Mooncake Festival. I really hope to go but final is coming and due to transportation problem to SETAPAK. Haha..fine..

Then, around 5pm, I received a sms informing that Serena's mom had just passed away. ='(
Though there's no invitation, of course, we as her friends will pay a visit to her, propably on Sunday. I belive Serena will have no problem to deal with it. She's tough! Good Luck, Serena!

At night, while studying at grandma's house, Jason Yi Mu called up to invite me to join their trip to "Jiu Wang Ye" temple at Ampang. Jason really has the power of persuassion. Though obviously I'm not interested in going temple especially in the late night, I was still convinced by him to try to ask for permission from mom. Mom discouraged me to go.

And, I skipped uncle's wedding dinner invitation on Sunday. Sienz...Better to study =P

A Lucky Day

There was a piece of glass in my pudding!!!
Is this considered lucky?! haha..
Let me start the story of today, 22nd Oct 2009!

As assigned, I acted as waitress today in our sales management presentation. This is the most special presentation I have as we needed to seriously play the role of sales people to persuade our lecturer, Ms. Putri (acted as customer) to purchase our product/service. It was a group of five, i.e., Tuan Tynn, Sai Yung, Liya, Tracy and me. Being with a group with Tuan Tynn is undoubtedly that we can experience the process of doing a group assignment. We went through the first stage of brainstorming to select an idea, combining ideas, dividing work, and lastly, we even rehearsed. The division of job was clear as everyone knew what to do. And, we also helped out each other. Honestly speaking, I contributed the least for this assignment. Sai Yung led the group, Tuan Tynn partnered with Sai Yung to approach our prospect(Ms.Putri), Liya did the paperwork, Tracy and I were in-charge of video production.

One week before our presentation day, we also discussed the roles to play. Tracy and I were the waitresses and in-charge of food and beverage. Now I know how tiring it is as a waitress. During rehearsal, we discussed the pattern of walking, the way we should greet, the arrangement of venue(how many chairs & tables), backup plan etc..It was really a full rehearsal.

Our presentation day which was today had finally reached. Our appointment with Ms.Putri was 11am, we even assigned Liya to chat with Ms.Putri in waiting room while we were settling our stuffs. Unfortunately, there was a class going on in our class. We couldn't prepare the venue and they ended late when Ms.Putri had reached. Finally, we were able to enter the class and quickly we arranged the tables, settled the food and beverage (coffee and tea), "PA system", projector, cups and other stuffs. Music was played, just like dining in a restaurant in hotel.

Ms. Puri was away after waiting for so long for the previous class to end. So, she went back to her office and waited. Tuan Tynn as marketing executive, called her and asked her whereabout, telling her that Liya (the marketing manager) would lead her to the venue. Oooo...looked real~ I was standing there, preparing to open the door to welcome them. Everyone was so nervous that time, same to me because when there were people walked by, I would give wrong hint to others that our customers had arrived. Swt... =.="

Our customers had reached. Once they sat down, our marketing executives (S.Yung & Tynn) greeted them and waitress served coffee and light food. Everything was on plan! Yay! But, thanks to INTI's water dispenser which provided water that wasn't that hot, causing the creamer couldn't melt in the coffee when they used "Hotel Equatorial's creamer in packet" !!! But, the presentation had started. So, Tracy and I couldn't help out because it would be interrupting them. We could only changed their coffee when presentation ended and it was time for SaiYung to persuade.

After ending, we chit-chatted with our customers for feedbacks. It was commented good with our effort spent in pretending as customers to "steal" information from Hotel Equatorial (we were representing it and persuading our lecturer to choose it), printing name cards for our "marketing executives", preparing coffee & tea, wearing waitress uniform (Tracy & I), and others. It created a good experience for them! Yay!

Then, we went to celebrate at Kim Gary Restaurant at Sunway Pyramid! And, here, I found a piece of broken glass in my pudding! At first, I thought it was ice.But, sounded weird. haha..Luckily the pudding wasn't that nice so I was playing with the pudding by cutting off into pieces before entering the pudding into my mouth. On the other hand, I didn't just refuse to finish off as STACT taught us "not to waste food", if not, I wouldn't notice the glass and I wouldn't get free meal. So, conclusion is "There's SOMETHING as a free lunch" if you got "UFO" in your meal. Haha..At first, the waiter who we told acted very normal, just like it's common to them already. SaiYung then wrote in their feedback form. She wrote: " I nearly died because of the piece of broken glass in my pudding if I didn't notice! And, when we told the waiter. He acted so normally and didn't even apologize. ...."

After a while, the waiter came and said that they would not charge the price of my set meal. And, everyone was hoping that there would be another piece of broken glass in her meal. =.= So, with such reason, I had a free lunch which cost RM 16. =P "Look at the brighter side", as the saying goes. As TianXin says," Wu suo wei, Kai xin jiu hao" ..haha..
It's really great to be in group with them.

Due to over-tiring mind, after Tracy fetched me home, I slept for 5 hours. la la la~ so nice~

good mood for today~

p/s:surprisingly, I could score 51.59/60 for my psychology coursework marks! Now, I'm aiming for A! Hope I could score GPA 3.5 and above!

....Grow or not to grow!

"Am I growing maturely?" This is the question which I was asking myself since last semester. At first, I thought I'd clarified myself after attending Tzu Chi's reading book session during last sem break. I felt super motivated and "fresh" for the first few weeks, trying to cheer up and motivate everyone around me. I was really happy for the reason that I thought I've grown to be more mature! Unfortunately, I don't think I am for now. I don't feel as "xiao sha" as last time, keep on telling others "kai xin jiu hao", "ku zhong zuo le", "xiao yi xiao, shi jie zhen mei li",etc..

I really prefer the way I joked last time and this causes me to have the urge to "hypnotize" myself to become the "funny baby girl"called by those seniors ( though I don't really like the baby word because it really makes me to feel I'm small and unable to do things) , the "Famous Joker" named by my friends, "Xiao Xin" nicknamed by "Bruce Lee", or " Xiao Hai Zi" called by CK senior citizen.
Life may be simple to be back the old Tian Xin who joked every minute. But, this means that I'm not growing up because I hope to reverse back!!! It's really conflicting!

Hmm..But, I finally figure out my meaning of life! I still could be as funny and happy as previous TianXin, as long as it's not LAME! =) Congrats!
Life is actually really that simple!!!
Just be who you are and learn from your mistakes & this means growing for me!

I'm really proud of some people who hold the committee posts now. Yong Lee has really impressed me! He has really grown up! He's not as shy as last time who didn't want to speak much in front of others. Besides that, he could give nice feedbacks and motivate others, unlike those days when he just fooled around(maybe he was just hiding himself?). His growth makes me feel ashamed of myself because we were on same stage when first joined 19th CS but,now, I listen and really pay attention to his comments, indicating I respect him as senior now.

Besides Yong Lee, Corine is also growing. I always think she's better than me, in fact, she is. But, what has impressed me is she's improving to be better than past.

All the best for me as well! =)

Long time no quote..let me quote some from seniors' and advisor's speech!
"The moment you are embarrassed of who you are, you lose yourself!" (Yat Lei, 2009) - introduced during 2nd 20th CS training session.

"A good leader is from good followers!" (Jason,2009)- introduced during feedback session.

*Thanks to Yi ye ye, Yat Lei, who created 2pgs of newsletter all regarding my feelings and thoughts during last 19th CS. I really appreciate it! It reminds me the first feeling i joined STACT Club- this big family~ Sincerely, I really treated them as my family consisting of yi ye ye, yi shu shu, yi fu mu, and yi mei, not to forget babysitter as well. Honestly speaking, recently, I've lost the strong feeling of this family bond. So, once again, thx to yi ye ye who has reminded me the feeling. =)

Ha! I found a memorable day full with laughter... =) ~ 4th Edu Meeting

I had a meeting with my edu group members today. At first, Vv and I didn't plan to have it but Kiet asked edu group to plan games for coming 2nd 20th CS Training Session. So, I called up a meeting and discussed the agenda with Vv 1 hour before the meeeting. In fact, we didn't have many to discuss but games and slow~gan as John pronounced. Haha... =) (should be slogan)

Here we start!
We brainstormed ideas for games and voted. Since we are in same group, all of us voted the same game- the "Slave" game (this was how Shirley described). I realized that my edu group members are actually not that "edu" as what others thought to be soft. They seem to like "punishing" (refer to post TianXin's19th Birthday to know how they "punished" me). Don't worry! TianXin is here to rescue them~ ;P

Then, we brainstormed slow~gans for our edu group. Barinstorming is really an encouraged activity in a group because mant things can be really funny, especially when all combine ideas together. First, each of them was asked to think of one. In the process of finalizing, we came out with a funny slogan- "The Edu Checklist" to check our motivation, correct behaviour, clothing, etc.. It's like that "Checklist of Edu Group! Ready to go beyond yourself, check!; high motivated, check! Check, check, check ,check....!"

I really like it! 4 out of 6 voted it as well! But, of course, this will be used to create funny atmosphere among oursleves because we found hard to shout it out while controlling our "over-high" emotion. =P

Finally, we proposed to have fun this Saturday after training but Shirley couldn't make it so the date will be confirmed later~ But, don't worry, John! Proposal for outing of edu group will still reach your inbox by tonight!

Today's meeting was quite funny! Check! Saved in my memory~ =)

Psychology Mid-term test!

I was quite happy with my results!

I should only score 78% if Ms.Khor is a strict one because I wrote wrong keyword for the 20% long essay. Whew~ Luckily~

At first, I expected to score 50% at least. Hence, I'd no feeling when Ms.Khor asked us to rate our stress and emotion level. When I received 90%(mcq-28%; short ans-50%,long essay-12%),I didn't really feel extremely happy but just happy. I don't know why!!! I should be really happy for this because it was out of my expectation, even expecting highest score! Sad case...Am I numb?

I remembered last time when I received results which were out of my expectation even not so big difference like psychology test, I would be extremely happy and wanted to celebrate with my friends. Or, at least, I was joking all the day! Haihz..too bad...

I could actually score 98%, Ms.Khor said if I didn't write wrong keyword.
Thinking in the brighter side, it means thatI could really score well if I put effort to study and Ms.Khor gave me mercy marks instead of deducting full20% in my long essay part.

=)

*Not feeling motivated nowadays, looking for a new environment~

TianXin's 19th Birthday Celebration~

First time not feeling to celebrate my birthday because I don't think I've grown up mentally. In the past, I would look forward my birthday by counting down and having lots of plan with Jia Ying (since our birthdays are just 5 days different). I would have new wishes and goals, indicating I was prepared myself to proceed next stage. For this year, I'd forgotten my birthday was reaching until 2 weeks ago when I noticed a circle on my calendar. Swt.. So, I actually didn't plan Jiaying's birthday surprise as last few years. too sad..

Anyway, I really want to thank everyone who wished and celebrated with me, including the STACT people who bullied me terribly (Save the "nice" story for the last).

On the birthday, Angie and Thuyen bought a RT cake for me. I didn't really expect until the time when they asked me to go out during PSY class, I started to guess. To avoid trouble for them, so I just followed their words and went out. and, swt...they really prepared a cake with lighted candle(I'm 10years old only =P). Thx..
At night, Facebook full of wishes with keywords like kid, wu suo wei, kai xin jiu hao, xiao mei mei,etc.. I wonder since when I have so many nicknames. *hmm...

Next day, I was wishing all the time that no cake would be seen by me anymore because I'd eaten cakes 4days continuously, including mooncakes. @_@ I even commented at the message yi mu left me.

Yi mu:

My dear~ Happie Happie burfday ooo...^^
dai kor lui larr...must guai guai kay~ wishes all your dreams come true in very very soon ooo.... =)
19th RS member: tian xin ar... wan us celebrate bday for you??
tian xin: Wo wu shuo wei~~~~
19th RS member: OOO... like dat arr?? den no need la..hehe..^^

By piteous Tian Xin little girl:
seriously...dun celebrate..ur wishes r enough..since oct 1, everyday cake, mooncake..can die lar..coz starting oct 1, everyday is friends' and relatives' birthday
so, NO more CAKE! seriously, if u dun wanna me to vomit...

But, God didn't install Astro disk to receive my message. Too bad!!!

At first, I expected they'd celebrate during meeting and I reminded myself to be aware. But, during meeting, I'd really forgotten of it. Stupid! Again, Maintenance group's job to prepare the cake. Sienz..always same style but why not the "punishment" is also same style which is no punishment?! When they brought in, they sang. They seemed like to sing because even I've shouted stop, they didn't bother and kept on increasing their voice (when asked them to sing during training, they didn't want but that day they sang so loudly -.-). My voice was really covered by those high frequency voices. Then, *POP! TianXin's bulb was lighted with an idea. To stop them, I blew off the lighted candles before they stopped. Ha! My ears could finally rest for a while with full silence. It happened in less than 2 seconds for them to stop. Not bad yea for them to react in 2s. hee..
Lighted and blew, lighted and blew, it was so fun! Pitying them, I gave them mercy by not blowing off anymore for them to continue. But, I felt regretful now because dunno-who proposed an idea to "punish" me by asking my group members to kiss me! Grr...I'll revenge! What made me shocked was my members looked so excited when they heard it and insisted to carry "the kissing activity" on me! I really had my phobia now. ='( All so-called family members didn't rescue me but held my hands so tightly, especially yi fu! Then, vivien who really kissed my cheek when I wasn't really ready at all. EW~
Learned helplessness on my first birthday celebration with STACT Club creatures...

Tht's all!





Jia Ying's 19th Birthday Celebration

Last Friday before my 19th birthday, we had a small celebration of JiaYing's birthday at CHS during ping pong session. Guo Dong, Chen Kiat, Angie, Kean Mun, Lisan, Jiaying, Weiling, and Edwin attended.

Before that, I went to Pyramid to watch Tsunami. WeiYi strongly proposed to accompany, saying that she'll never allow her friend to watch movie alone. "It' weird!",she said. Ok then, since she really insisted, I accompanied her la. hee... It was really funny and touching. What made me felt touching was the parts when others were laughing because of the "ridiculous" reaction of the victims. The victims had such reaction because their mind was totally blank because of the fear.

Then, Edwin called me, asking what should he do now after class. Haha..So, I just asked him to fetch him, saving time for Weiling to fetch me. We chatted about our birthdays as his birthday is one day before me. I said that I still prefer to enjoy my birthday alone with a few sudden plans like watching movie, travelling, or even sleeping, etc.. This is what I mean relaxing! =P
Fine! They just think that I like to be isolated. Perhaps, it's becoming a truth after graduating from CHS as this thought is started since I study at INTI. "wu suo wei, kai xin jiu hao", this is what Tian Xin always tells others and herself.

After having dinner at Street Cafe, Subang, we then proceeded to CHS. We were late!!! Oh my! =P Instead of 7pm, we reached at 8.30pm.And, the equipemnts were with us! swt... sry yea for the early birds! We didn't mean it. It's because of the traffic jam and late served food.

I did really enjoy that day, joking with others. =P

First Camp in my life- A Church Camp

Seeing the title may cause people to mistaken tht I'm a Christian. But, I'm sure that my readers know I'm not.

Being invited by Carol, I decided to join their camp after missing last year's camp by their church as well. I joined because I hadn't joined any camp before. And, also to know more friends because I find that communicating with more people from different backgrounds could help me to learn the theory of life. So, I just went for it though I was actually super busy even it's a week of holiday.

First day of camp, honestly speaking, I somehow felt it was wasting my time because there were talks everyday by a Christian pastor. And, you readers could guess the contents. In addition, most campers are high school kids. During ice-breaking moment, I thought:" Oh my god! paying RM100 something to join a kids' camp???" I started to feel regretful because if I didn't join this camp, I would have more time to prepare for my mid-term studies (psychology and sales management), guide my educational group members better, or even attend Tzu Chi's 3days 2nights camp.

Perhaps, it would really be better if I didn't go. But, I didn't really feel regret after a day. The talk was interesting though there were some which I don't really agree.

On the other side, every single human there did teach me things. There were talks, sharing moments, meditating moments, singing, etc. everyday. The kids were not kids when they played the role as a leader or emcee, leading us to sing some songs everyday. Facing so many people but they could talk relaxingly and funnily.

Besides that, the young mentors did their job well, guiding us. I really respect them.

Though till now, if calculate in a realistic way, I still think that not joining this camp would save my time but I didn't feel regret for joining it. I really did enjoy the camp with quite a number of new friends and experience different things like playing captain ball, playing station games, acting drama, etc..

The most enjoying moment should be drama session which each group was required to act using given styles like Indian, Robot, Opera, Rap, and Chinese Opera. I didn't really contribute much as I was just acting as a castle, stading there still and introducing the story at teh begining. I like Indian style the most. Haha..."Aneh & Dumby" haha..the names created by themselves. They really "spoke" Indian language. =P

TQ

4th Sem Results

4th semester results are out!!!

This semester was really risky for me as I did last minute revision so my results are at border line to pass 3.0 for scholarship requirement. But, comparing with last few sems, especially my second sem, I didn't really feel afraid. One reason to explain is because I didn't put much effort, so I did not have much feeling on my results, just sometimes would fear of failing to pass 3.0 for the scholarship. As Choong Kooi Yi Fu mentioned before," If you do not put much effort to do that stuff, you won't really have much feeling to bother the outcome". That's it!

In my second sem, I thought I would fail to pass the 3.0 requirement because I did very badly in my English(I thought) as I couldn't finish off my essays. I was so afraid till I dared not to collect my results. Carol accompanied me and helped me to check then only told me.Results came out to be much better than previous sem. I even improved to 3.5!!! I was so happy.

While for this semester, another non-INTI friend coincidentally said that she could accompany me to collect results as she wanted to enrol for ACCA at INTI. We just planned on Sunday.

Then, this morning, she came to fetch me. She didn't know my house and didn't even call me up 1 day before to ask. She went to google my location. -.-" Fully utilizing Internet..ha..Good! She lost her way at first then finally reached my home. We then went to INTI to collect my results first.

Though I was worried, I wasn't that afraid maybe because I've got used to it. I felt that I would surely pass it. Reached Exam office, I showed my student card. But, I didn't really walk away like last time. And, my results slip showed 3.25. I was satisfied that I passed 3.0. But, when I saw the grades, I started to feel frustrated. I got 3B+ and 1B. First time for scoring no A. And, if I did work harder, just a bit harder, I could score 3A- !!!

80-84:A-
75-79:B+

Perhaps this really has taught me a lesson not to do last minute revision but in another hand, helped me to pass 3.0 scholarship requirement.

I passed basic requirement but not my own requirement. I just realized that no A is quite a sad thing. Ha..Satisfied with the results but not really happily.

Then, Shireen and I went for a chat with Choong Kooi Yi Fu regarding ACCA. And, I just realized that Shireen and I hadn't met and contacted each other for 1 year since last year's August sembreak!!! But, we were still that close..Maybe this is wat we called as TRUE FRIEND. =)

Thx Shireen this time...

20 Difficulties in Life 1

Wednesday (190809)- 8pm

We discussed about being an ordinary one. Being ordinary doesn't mean to be passive and not to work hard to outshine others. The main point is what is the definition of being ordinary. In today's world, everyone's striving to be special. But, in fact, everyone becomes ordinary. Sometimes, being humble an ordinary one can learn a lot of things.

This topic helped me to relate to STACT Club. Instead of being the top 5 or leaders, we can sometimes choose to be an ordinary member. We can clearly understand how they feel, work, communicate, etc.. By doing so, we can eliminate the mistakes and notice members' feelings when we are leaders in future. It's just like why the majesty has the duty to stay outside for few days with his citizens.


Next, we discussed about discriminating those who have poor knowledge. We often find people looking down people who have lower knowledge than them. They don't have the knowledge doesn't mean they don't know forever, they just haven't learned it. They haven't reached the stage. While you are discriminating them, you should think that you are being discriminated by others as well. Nobody is perfect in this world. In contrast, you should feel shameful towards your attitude of looking down people instead of encouraging people to work harder.

There are 2 types of people in this world when facing discrimination: first, people who look down himself and act passive. This type of people will only cause others to look down on them more. They should always believe that not they don't know, they just haven't learned. What they need to do is LEARN. Next, people who will act aggressive and work even harder to prove himself he can. But, remember, if you are this type of people, please do not feel arrogant, and look down on others. You should thank those who look down on you. When people look down on you, they remind you that it's time for you to learn. So , in contrast, you should thank them.


Brother asked a question:" People always discuss on looking down others, how about looking down on myself?" Hmm.. This is what I do currently, especially in my 4th sem. I feel embarrassing to have time management. I looked down on myself when seeing others like Ben who can finish his homework in time with his self-discipline though he has poorer results than me.

I know more friends when I join STACT. Fernie reminds me not to take club as excuse for poor results. She cares her results very much but she still could finish her publicity work, cope with her studies(score very well), participate in running competition, join outings with her friends, etc..

Yes, Ms. Su said once before:"In college, we learn. We learn how to handle things. It's like a training stage for us when we work in the cruel society in future. When our boss asks us to finish all things in limited time, can you say no? You still need to carry on. So, let's just take it as challenge!"

This caused me to look down on myself. But, being humble or being passive depends on how we think. Looking down on myself should be motivation for me to do better and reminder for me that it's time for me to catch up them, but not to continue to act passively.

Finally, our last topic is being equal all the time. This is a fact that no one can treat everyone equal. Everyone has his own favorite person. Even Confucius did prefer one of his students most because he learnt what Confucius taught. But, is it that difficult? Nope. The ways may be different but our objective should be equal to everyone. For example, the government wants to be equal. Does that mean that everyone of us should be offered same opportunity no matter how we work? Absolutely not! If it really treats us like this, it is, in contrast, unfair and unequal to us. Rewards should be given to only those who work. How much effort you put, how much you get. Evevryone is different, so the ways used to treat everyone may be different but as long as the objective is equal, that's good enough to say it's EQUAL.

First week of Sem break

Tian Xin did pledge to fully utilize her sem break to recover and reorganize herself. So, what has she done so far?

Monday(170709): Short hair cut

I went to INTI to handle some things and chatted a while with Ms. Maz.
Then, rolled to Mid-Valley to read book. Just read a few chapters and I was tired so I decided to take bus to mom's office. While waiting, I met Saw Jin. He's majoring in Accounting and planning to take Finance as another major.
When reached Taman Desa where my mom office is there, I went to have a short hair cut. Refreshing~ =)

At night, I managed STACT account.

Overall, first day of sem break was quite ok.

Tuesday (180809): Dating with Carol

A sudden plan with Carol again to Times Square. This was first time Tian Xin asked for a KTV session. But, we did nothing much. Besides singing, we just loitered around and said bye-bye. Grown up??? We didn't even take any photos like last time. haha..But, actually I hope to have some photos but not in tht "HIGH" mood.

At night, I spent hours to just finish off the CD post mortem report because of loitering here and there, YouTube and Facebook.

At least, I did something? Still ok.

Wednesday(190809): Book reading session with Tze Chi

Hmm...I really had a nice sleep as I woke up at 3.30pm. And, my cleaning plan was ruined by this. Supposedly, I should clean my room and "refresh" it with a new look. I just managed to arrange my things orderly.
Aorund 6.30pm, Brother asked me to read through a book named "20 Difficulties in Life" (translated from Chinese) because I asked him to bring me along to Tze Chi's book reading session which 7-8 people will discuss the topics in the book and share the experience with each other.

At first, I though of not going because I wanted to clean my room but then, I told myself that I shouldn't postpone anything. I should stop that habit which caused me to perform badly in my 4th sem. So, I went. There were only 2 who I know: Brother's girlfriend-Enshi and her foster sister-Kelly.

(more in next post- Difficulties in Life 1)

Thursday (200809): Outing with 3 SF1- LiSan, JiaYing, BakChen

LiSan as Organizer suggested to watch "The Proposal" instead of going to Neway. Yea, what a good plan. Hee..I waited at INTI in the morning as our meeting time was at 11.30am. So, I loitered around INTI library. LiSan and JiaYing came to fetch me at INTI because they called me up saying it was raining. Haha..But, when they arrived, Uncle SUN was there, shining us. Perhaps, it was just an excuse to fetch me? Ha..XD... Kidding . We then loitered around again at Sunway Pyramid while discussing what to have lunch. But, Tian Xin gave no idea as she was so full, just ate. Facing the 2 funny girls saying "Anything", we then decided to play childish game again to decide. Each of us chose one and we played "Scissors, rock, and cloth". -.-" And, HA! finally I won and my choise was Sakae Sushi but actually I wanted to choose Sushi King but was chosen by LiSan. So, we ended up at Sushi King. Again, I was the one who talked, talked, and talked. Tian Xin is not talkative! Ha..Maybe they are too busy in ACCA so nothing much to say, unlike me who experienced so many things just in one sem or even days. Haha.. Uncle Lobak came to meet us finally when the movie was going to start.

I recommend "The Proposal" if you want to laugh relaxingly. Funny yet a bit touching..

Afetr watching, we needed to say bye-bye again. Ha...Let me think..When is the last time I met Lobak? Valentine's Eve, I guess. But, since he started his college life, we seldom talk and crap. Unlike last time, with another Kean Mun, we joked all the time. I hope to have a good chat with those SF1 who seldom meet up but when see them, I don't know what to chat. hmm...So, I'm only close with a few now, like JiaYing, LiSan, WeiLing, GuoDong, ChenKiat...

#Didn't really fully utilize the time.

Friday(220809): Pulau Ketam trip with collegemates

I guess this is the first time to have a trip with my collegemates. I feel so sorry to refuse for a trip with them everytime they asked me. First sem break, they asked but I was planning a Genting trip with SF1 which was postponed to 2nd sem break, meaning that 1st and 2nd sem breaks, I didn't go for a trip with them. Then, 3rd sem break, I had to go for Community Service so again, I said bye-bye to them.

Finally, when STACT told me there won't be any activities during coming sem break (my 4th sem break), I told them happily that this time I could follow them. But, this time no one wanted to organize. Ha..what a coincidence. I wanted to roll to Cameron Highland but it was too rush to organize. So, finally, we confirmed the Pulau Ketam trip one day before. Ha..A sudden plan from Tian Xin again. Luckily, there were total 7people who were on for this sudden trip : Me,
Angie,Ck, ThainHoe,Ezen and her BF, and Danny. =P Everything went smoothly that day. Except waiting for my train to Subang Jaya to meet them and waiting for those late comers, We didn't need to wait for any public transport. All we did was running to rush for ferry and KTM. So, time was saved.

It took us 1.30hrs to reach Pulau Ketam. There, CK met a new friend (dog). It was following us all the way. hmm..should be corrected to: following CK all the way. Asked him to sit, he sat. Ha..He even lied down on the floor when we went to restaurant to have our delicious C-food meal. Yummy~ I love the fish..

After chatting there for about 1 hour, we finally decided to move our butts. And, we found out there were new arrivers. So, Angie and I rushed again and found out the ferry had come and was about leaving. Run, run, run...Phew~ We were able to catch up.

-The End-

Hope to have better days in my next week of sem break.

AUP Farewell Dinner by STACT Club @ Yuen's Steamboat

Since joining STACT Club, I know more friends from different programs like A-Level, AUP, and others. And, we become like a big family after organizing 19th CS and Charity Drive.

Now, it's time to say bye-bye to some of them who will be leaving soon in 2 more weeks' period.
So, yesterday- last day of July (310709), we had a bye-bye dinner with them at a not-so-romantic place, the Yuen's Steamboat Restaurant.

At first, Tian Xin suggested to go for RNC Steamboat Restaurant which offered BBQ, Steamboat, .... @ RM 19.80 only, also included drinks. She has organized 4 steamboat gatherings there. And, everything went smoothly. But, the day before the farewell dinner, she received a BIG BIG JOKE!!! After the seats were confirmed by Seng Kiet, she called to the restaurant for booking 30 seats.
And, GUESS WHAT???She was told that RNC wasn't exist anymore.

Here's the conversation:


TX: Hello, I want to book 30 seats for a farewell gathering tomorrow.
RNC: Oh, we can't make it.
TX: Why?? Fully booked?? thinking: OMG.
RNC: Not, we aren't offering anymore.We won't operate tomorrow.
TX: Har?Y?Holiday? thinking: what a coincidence!
RNC: nope, we have stopped operating.

TX: What???!!! since when? I thought I still saw your shop operating last week?

RNC: Oh, our boss decided to close it on last Sunday.

TX: .... (speechless) -.-"

So, finally, we went to the congested Yuen's steamboat where there are always people grabbing for CHICKEN WINGS. ha..This is what people call Yuen's! ("YUEN lai jiu shi zhe yang" -bc) 23 people went and later on 5 people joined just to enjoy the crazy atmosphere created by us.

Why I describe as crazy?
Reason 1: 23 of us sang birthday song when the unknown people were celebrated their friend's birthday next to our table. Funny..

Reason 2: Taking photos here and there at such a crowded place.

Reason 3 : discussing strategy to grab chicken wing. And, TianXin's table always got the most because there was an "Advisor of Grabbing Chicken Wing". =P


Reason 4 : King had uncountable prawns. Scary...

Crazy yet fun..But, honestly speaking, Tian Xin doesn't really like crowded place, esp when having meal.

Here are some photos to share:

(even You Liang was influenced by the crazy ones)


(Hmm..KING of Memo also has his cert???)


(Showing off cert??I aslo want to show off my bookmark!A weird one is trying to destroy my bookmark using his tongue!!!Shoo! Go away!)


(Why suddenly so many strangers? I thought only me and my "Step" sister (pinky)??)


Showing off cert they got for having dinner @ Yuen's??? or, cert showing they grabbed the most chicken wings??


~The end~

All the best to those who are leaving and human who will be having their final soon! =)

Falling in love ???

Charity Drive has ended, assignments and tests have packed my schedule, and final is just around the corner. But, I still "lai lai han" (this is what I used to hear from You Hang). I'm seriously not motivated this semester. What cause me to be so? I think I'm in love.., in love with SF1, probably. >.<

The time we spent fooling around here and there was really memorable. We studied together, went tuition together, celebrated birthdays together, crapped, joked, acted stupidly, gossiping teachers, taking Mr. Michael as our entertainment, etc..Also, Eastern Delight which had become our gathering place as we had 4 times gathering there, suggested by me. =P They are like my family members, teaching me and protecting me.


So, I'm always willing to spend time and effort to organize gatherings and "travel" to their college just to have lunch with them. "Kai Xin Jiu Hao" =)


The last class gathering organized by me was attended by 30 SF1 members, which was on the Valentine's Eve. Since that gathering, we seldom meet up each other, not even outings with WeiLing, LiSan and Jia Ying they all.


It's time to go back "SF1 HOME" to fool around with them, especially Chen Kiat, Angie, Kai Qing, Chin Mei, Zi Wei, Shi Yun, Chen Wong, Lobak, Kean Mun, Bruce Lee, Sheau Tien, Serena, ............

Seriously missing them...

Enjoy the photos..

* I never feel uneasy to take photos with them and never face difficulties to laugh when taking photos with them...Hence, the photos taken with them are the photos which I like most =)


If not mistaken, this should be the first gathering after graduated @ Eastern Delight Stemaboat near my house.



This gives me the feeling of taking photo with my dad and mom, and I'm their child.. ^_^



Gathering organized specially for Soo Yong who came back from Australia @ HoHo Steamboat Sri Petaling



LiSan's surprising 18th Birthday, planned by me @ A&W, Sunway Pyramid..exciting..whew~
(Since that, I could now recognize the way at Sunway Pyramid)




Last SF1 gathering with 30 sf1 friends on Valentine's Eve (13/2/09) @ RNC Steamboat Restaurant, Bdr. Sunway
with our fingers showing 1 to represent SF1. =)

La la la..Juz Smile >=)

I feel so relaxed these few days. Is it because of the end of Charity Drive? Perhaps it's true as I can "resign" from secretary post already. Ha.. Assignments done? Nope, I still left 2 assignments and 2 presentations which I hate the subject most - American Republican and Advertising.

Yesterday, I did something crazy again. I planned to watch Ice Age 3 alone again at Mid-Valley suddenly. But, I met Vivien and Xiao Tian and told them. They also wanted to watch. So, I decided to inform the only ones we met. See fate~ Ha..As planned (2 hours ago ^.^), we gathered at concourse at 4pm. There were so many STACT ones like John , Fernie, King, Chew Lian, .... Wa~ What a fate! I asked them to watch together, they were so excited and asked when to watch; but, then theychanged to a lame face when I answered "NOW". Ha.. Funny to see their "sweat" face. Waited and I finally realized that why there were so many of them. That wasn't fate lar! They were there to gather to pray. -.-"

Delayed time, seen the ex- Top 3 of 19th RS fooling like kids, crapped, joked,..., we finally arrived Sunway Pyramid at6pm with Wai Hong's "pro" driving skill, "wai lai wai qu". Ha.. =S
Wow! The queue was so short, no people at all. So, when we reached, we bought tickets to watch at 6.30pm.

Hmm..Not bad, the movie, suitable for kids and lame ones.

Due to dissatisfaction f the degree of craziness yesterday, I popped up another sudden plan again- staying back at college to play ping pong. Wee~~ The SKY agreed as it was raining, forcing me to stay back. Thx fo Wen Jye for being willing to play with lousy player like me. Hate King for taking revenge from me by hitting the ping pong ball so hard... -.-"

Kang Kai was here today too. Child abuser~ I'm gonna tell yi ye ye, yi fu mu and babysitter that he bullied me!!! Bad Kang Kai. But, I don't think they'll help me as they betrayed me by telling Kang Kai that I imitate his way of speaking. Help!!!

Around 8pm, we finally moved for dinner. The people were abonormal....as me? nope. I'm normal. Ha..They kept on laughing for nothing. Haihz..Pity them~

La la la...Juz smile will do =)

TianXin's in the process of becoming energetic again.

*Cheers ~ I got 42/50 for my microecon test which I studied last minute after back from Follow-up Visitation. (Honestly, I didn't pay attention in class due to over-tiredness that caused me to sleep)

Also, I've improved in my America Republican tests for 10 marks (70/100) which I also studied last minute due to lack of time after coming back from Follow-up visitation and preparing Microecon test on Monday. (Tuesday was the American republican test). I was shocked when I saw that I could still score in my MCQ part which I shaded the answers randomly as I didn't prepare for MCQ part. Ha..



Now I aim, at least :
ECN-> A+
STAT-> A
ADV-> B
HIS-> B

...in my final

"The last thing to lose is hope!"

GOOD LUCK, everyone >.-

Charity Drive May 09 ^.^


Charity Drive

As a secretary, I played an important role in Charity Drive as the whole committee relied on me to issue memos for booking of equipments and venues. It was really a challenge to me as I haven't taken such role before. I didn't know the departments well. Hence, this really had made me crazy and damaged my brain cell. (Even milk couldn't save my brain cell) My studies were greatly affected. I kept on forgetting things. What a disaster! Really hate those red tapes! I needed to keep on changing the memos and taking to all departments to be approved. Funny -.-" However, I would like to try once again after becoming as member who really takes part in organizing. So far, I haven't really joined in organizing. I was publicity in last project and secretary in Charity Drive event. So, when the event started, I was back-up of helping out other departments instead of planning something.

After busying for 4 days with so many activities like basketball tournament, food fair, games fair, Haunted House and car wash service, Charity Drive May 2009 had finally come to an end
on Friday night (3rd July 09) with the last event- Charity Night held at ICSJ Basketball Court.

Charity Night

For Charity Night, I was assigned to be the usher. I would like to express my gratitude to the one who noticed my "professional" skill as usher during the karaoke session at 19th CS project and suggested me to be usher. Also, thx to them who only told me one day before the Charity Night, when we had our last minute rehearsal. -.-"

Yi fu and yi ye ye came early to "observe" us while we were busy preparing the food for sale. Sherine and I were in charge of booth selling snacks and desserts. Unexpectedly, the food was sold out so fast. So, we needed to keep on preparing with non-stop action. Pro! And, finally we gave up when there were no more food to be cooked. -.-" So, instead of closing our booth at 8pm as planned, we stopped selling at 4pm.

Charity Night started at 8pm. Team spirit, joyful atmosphere, smiling faces and laughters were all around the basketball. &pm, everyone got ready. The audience came one by one. Everyone was busy doing his work.

As usher, I waited at the entrance to welcome VIPs and STACT alumni like Kang Kai, Yat Lei, Chin Lim, etc..
Oh my, VIPs walking towards the entrance, reaching, and finally smiling with us...As discussed, I followed the back of VIPs while Celine led them. Oh my! I was regret to do so as the STACT alumni were at the back of VIPs. As a professional usher, I welcomed the alumni but was bullied by Kang Kai. He squeezed my FACE with his hands. WA~ Child abuser...He delayed me, forcing me to run like a kid to follow the VIPs. Hate him! =P

Standing there like "models" really made Celine and I feel stupidly, especially when inviting the guests to stage, like they didn't know the MCs were calling their names. Ish..

Finally, during performances, ushers were allowed to rest and loiter around. I sat beside Yi Fu. So obedient. ha..
Beside him was the basketball guy (still not willing to call his name =P ). I asked Yi fu whether he needed me to buy herbal egg and peel for him as I promised to practise filial piety towards "parents". He refused. Sad..But, then, Richard- the lame guy, came and sold herbal eggs to them. They bought instantly. What lar.. They even replied that they purposely didn't want to buy from me. So, in return, I said I didn't want to peel for them. They said, "Whatever" because they ( 2 senior citizens) saw wrongly and thought the eggs were peeled. When they realized, they changed rapidly, softening their voice when calling my name and asking for my help. Wahaha..Oh. First time hearing their voice to be so nice like melody, not sound pollution =P "Tian Xin, Tian Xin..." As a good, nice and obedient yi nv, I helped yi fu (Choong Kooi) as I promised him before and ignored the basketball guy. But, finally, I helped him as well. Also, I asked Kang Kai to buy 3 more herbal eggs. He was so "happy" and "willing" to buy. He was so kind that he gave off the herbal eggs to other seniors. Ha..

Then, it was finally ended with lucky draws. Hmm..Nothing funny to discuss..And, here's the end.

3 days 2 nights of Follow-up Visitation @ Temerloh, Pahang

As I've promised in my previous post, I'm posting now regarding my 3days 2 nights stay at my foster family's house @ Temerloh, Pahang. It was really rushing and risky to go back as I would be having Microeconomics and American History Mid-term test and I still hadn't touched the book. In addition, I didn't pay attention in the class for past few weeks.

During this period, I watched the most dramas in my life since Form 3, I guess. When I reached there around 6pm, I followed foster mother back. Glad to see back my "sha yi mei" and my "yi gou". Ha.. The dog was so excited when it saw me. It kept on following all the day and lay on my legs. Actually, it was due to the weather which kept on having lightnings. =P Just 1 hour, everyone was not at home, except foster grandma and foster brother, Fang Can. I did not dare to study in room. So, I was sitting on sofa to watch dramas for about 5hours. Cool man!

Next day, I did nothing. Many of them had followed their foster family to Taman Negara. Unfortunately, my foster dad was super duper busy so he assigned foster mom to bring me for delicious Tom Yam. After that, we then attended Fnag Can's Interact Installation Day. Wow wow wow...He was the President of Interact Club. But, I would prefer to stay at home to study instead of sweating (& "sweating") with them. I was still able to complete 2 chapters of notes. Whew~

At night, I was tricked by my foster dad to act as nurse for Parents' Day celebration. I promised as my foster sister said she'd act also. But, then, I only realized I was the youngest. Others were over 40 years old, at least. -.-"
I didn't practise and my foster dad didn't tell me the detail. I was O.O when what he told me was not exactly the same when acting. He didn't tell me because he wanted "natural" reaction. What a JOKE!!! -.-" Then, that day, I found my foster brother was quite lame, kept on saying I was the "best" actor when foster dad asked how's the drama. We had our 2nd cake when back to house. Yummy~ Green Tea cake which I told my 2 younger foster siblings that it was so delicious. The cake would melt in your mouth and fill your mouth with green tea fragance. I kept on emphasing the MELT word. =P When photos were taken, songs were sung, we ate. I then asked Fang Can whether the cake melted in his mouth the second the cake entered his mouth. He said yes. But, actually, it was due to his saliva. Wahaha...

Next day, time for us to back to KL, everyone slept till very late. Lun Chi (foster sis) and I slept till 11.30am. Ha..
hmm..then, prepared and went home...

Foster siblings and grandma


Foster dad and his nurse,me =P
