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.

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.
