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
