This would be the most important thread in this SIG...

We would post our experience we face in our daily lives here...

this helps ourselves to reflect upon ourselves and enable others to learn something from our lives....

Do you experience something very happy today? Are you feeling down today? have you learn something very meaningful today? Have you meet someone special today?

come and share your experience and feelings of the day with all of us.... Life of sharing is great and it strengthens our relationship....

Yesterday was my birthday and it was going really smoothly until something happened that made me regret. I cant tell you what it is but it made me feel really guilty. Like i cant face anyone. I have a responsibility and by doing what happened yesterday i didnt live up to it. Other than that it was a nice birthday. We had a cake and some fried chicken. I just wish that i could get over the guilt and the shame.

Thanx for sharing your experience and emotion with us...
it?s alright if u want to keep the detail to yourself...
I believe sometimes we face the same experience as you do and don?t worry, there will be ups in your life ... just cheer up and be positive..

[iQing]

hmmm... it?s going to be like a diary... hehe

yesterday my malaysian friends and I went to Esslingen, a town in Germany. We were invited for BBQ. It was my first visit there.
it?s great to meet old friends there but friends from my batch weren?t many so most of them are my senior....

we really eat a lot and I have the chance to meet a lot of seniors. great to get to know them...

when some all my friends left the BBQ, I was the only one from my batch standing there... amongst people who I don?t really know...
this kind of feeling is a bit eerie.

maybe life is like that. there are so many faceless people around us. Too many faceless people makes us feel aliened and eerie but it?s up to us to break the ice and know more people in life.

however, we left Esslingen happily, with some ta pao chicken in our bags...

iQing, you sound like a midnight radio DJ who gets everyone to talk out their problems so you can solve them... Hehe.... I feel happy every night cause I know I am getting some sleep....

that?s funny... i never thought of that also.
Well, it?s more like we are learning our lives from each other.

We can?t experience everything in this world by ourselves in one lifetime so one of the way to explore life is by sharing life...

in this thread I am like listening to your life
sure I wont really solve it but more often I will just say what I think about your situation and learn about life togather...

Chen chow really can write his life in detail and I really can learn something from this guy...

[chenchow]

I agree that life is a cumulation of experience and I guess we all may have different experience throughout the life and listening on others' experience is an experience for all of us too... I agree with iQing, this could be a good place for us to pen our life, something that we can ramble on and on, and not sure whether others would like to listen to, but I think there will be people here who would like to hear from you... Take it just like a common blog!

didn't really do much today... met some of my friends who have just graduated last Sunday and some of them are leaving the university... It seems like yesterday that we all just came to the university and soon, 3 years have passed and now, many of them have moved on, some going to graduate school, some go back and work , some work in US etc... It is just beyond description...

attended the convocation the other day for the graduating class... Although I am not graduating, i was there early... 5am... Americans are kiasu too... I am not the earliest... The speaker, William Jefferson Clinton came at 9:30am... he gave a very inspiring speech... too bad Hillary and Chelsea were not there, or else i would get to see them there too... The senior class president gave a very emotional, yet fantastic speech. She managed to catch our hearts with many candid examples of our experience in Cornell and that was just simply marvellous! Haven't gotten to see the photo that i took with Clinton, as my friend had to go back to Taiwan and it was traditional camera...only get to see in August, but that split moment that Clinton put his hand on my shoulder will be a lifelong experience for me...really never expect that.. get to shake his hand twice too!

chenchow you really have wonderful life experience. not many Malaysians have the chance to meet and talk to VVIP like Clinto and Bill Gates.

you have such chance in life.. I hope you appreaciate every moment of it.

thanks again for sharing

[chenchow]

I fully cherish those moments and I will always come to ReCom and share those experiences. Thanks to iQing for setting this SIG up and really hope to get more people to share their experiences here~!

Life is a journey! Lets wake it eventfully!

This is the story of my day 1/6/2004

Today i went to the post office to get out my benefit money 100 quid. There was such a long queue, it went all outside the post office but i waited. Then i got on the bus and tube and went to uni to return all my books. I only realised that i left my videos when i got to the counter. I then went to the bank to deposit 100 quid and went back to the local uni fried chicken shop to get some chicken burger and chips with a drink. Then i went back to the library to take out some more books. After that i topped up my mobile phone and decided to meet my friend tomorrow instead of today. I took the tube home and then hopped on a bus back to my house. I turned the computer on and started playing championship manager until 8 pm when i went downstairs to watch England play Japan in soccer. England led 1-0 and i decided to quit watching because the game was dull. I went upstairs to play some more championship manager and then later on i decided to go downstairs and watch some more football. I then realised that japan scored and the match ended 1-1. I then went upstairs where i am right now looking at Recom. Thats how my day went. I hope you guys had a fantastic day

thank you for sharing your day with us...
can you tell us about your emotional state today? I mean what do these events make you feel?

Do you think you can learn something from your life today?

have fun...

[CyberJaya]

Well to begin with i was feeling extremely eagar to play championship manager on the pc as i'd just won the league. I was feeling full of enthusiasm to play the new season. But i'd arranged to meet my friend already so i had to go out, plus i had to send my books back to the libraray. I was looking forward to go to the job center with my friend to see if she could find a job. When Japan scored i felt as if it was my fault or something for a thought i had. Somehow i feel that my thoughts can affect events sometimes. So the day has ended rather flat and i havent been able to start the new championship manager season because i'm not sure if its worth playing with the team i'm playing for as the job is demanding. There is no job security playing for my current team. So i began with a new team. I also have to give my videos back tomorrow which is a drag. So all in all. I feel like what started as a day full of enthusiasm and hope has ended rather flatly.

today is boring for me too... that?s why I don?t have any idea what to write here.. LOL

thanx a lot Cyberjaya.... have fun!

*stiffle... *trying hhhaard... nnot... to llaugh........ but failed.

Sorry lar, not to say that I enjoy laughing at you, but just can't help it. You have funny emotion. LOL!

I guess everyday i have the same blended emotion. There must be at least something that happens to piss me off. And then later, something makes me happy. Later, I'll be bored. And then, at the end of the day, I'll be happily playing bridge with ATU coursemates. Hehehe.... Then before going to sleep, say my prayers and thank God for everything that happened to me on that day. Same routine everyday.

Anyway, I've sprained my heel and it's not getting better even today is the 4th day liao. Got to see the doc soon.

[iQing]

Today I have been to Mediamarkt with my senior anas. Mediamarkt is a popular hypermarkt in Germany where it sells all kinds of electrical tools and PCS (www.mediamarkt.de)

It?s was a happy day... Before I redraw my money I belanja Anas a meal ... then we took a bus to mediamarkt.

I have bought a powerful floor fan and a printer (Canon i455) and Anas has bought a DVD player...

We came back by taxi...

What makes us really damm happy is...

At first we see the printer is small, but the box is very big. when we open the box, we found one Football in it...
can u imagine... we were like small kids cheering with joy... haha...

that?s just one of my day in life,... hope everyone enjoy my story....
nothing really emotional happens today...

[ElansarGelmir]

I am happy today coz I'm back again in Penang. Hehehe....

[iQing]

Today I spend a lot of time in ReCom?s forum..
it?s because the JPA result is out and everyone is talking about it..

I feel that I cannot ignore it because I myself is a JPA scholar and it has sometihing to do with my country...

I hope everyone will successfully get a place under JPA scholarship...

05062004 5:17am (Korea)

I am supposedly to be sleeping now... should be getting more rest to recharge myself from getting well from illness soon.
But, I scare that I can't wake up in time to attend an interview at the afternoon later.
The interview will be held at around 1:30pm, and I will be going out around 12pm because the interview venue is quite far from my house.
Seriously, feel damn anxious for the interview because this is my first time to be interviewed by Korean.
I really do hope I will get this parttime for my summer holidays. That's so amazing if really get the parttime just for one month. If I really can get it, I will be going back Malaysia to work for Korean in Kedah for one month with the income around RM 2100~ 2400.
The benefit that I can get if really success on it :
1) go back Malaysia with free ticket for one month
2) going to stay at a resort with all facilities ( the most attractive to me is the swimming pool.. hehe )
3) might be can meet up some friends in Malaysia
4) RM2100~2400 income!!!!
5) can eat those Malaysian foods that I miss so much here!!! :P
hahaha.... attractive right?
Wish me luck!!!! Pray hard for me please... :P

Today went through the interview. The interviewer is the company president. My friend and I, in total 4 persons were interviewed in a group interview by him. We were told what kind of position we will be offered.

He told us that thier programme will be held in 3 resorts in Kedah. He said he will select 3 of us in a total of 6 Malaysians who had went through the interview, each of those selected will in charge one of the resorts as the head of the staffs there, which in a total of around 200. What we have to do for the whole month when the programme being held is make sure all the activities are running well, make sure those Korean students is comfortable, .... in every aspects including make sure the Korean food there is ok for those Korean... and bla bla bla... Of course including do the daily report for the company.

After heard what he said, I just feel that this job is kinda tough and burdening. For those who will be selected can be said as both lucky and unlucky. Well, if I would be given the chance for it, for sure I will take it as challenge for myself and try my best to get some different experience that can't be obtained through the books.

During the interview, he was keep trying to open some topics that related to Malaysia history to let us got the chance to talk while he was observing our Korean speaking competence. lol

We were told that if success for the job, his company will take us as thier staff and will work for the company in such programme during every school holidays. For sure that thier programme not only be held in Malaysia, it can be anywhere such like Hong Kong, ShangHai.....

Overall, I am pride at knowing several languages, even If I never been offered for this job. ( Hehehe... for sure I hope the company will call me up soon... he said if been shortlisted, will be called up by next next Tuesday. ) ^^

[ElansarGelmir]

Hehe.... all the best to you lar, jane... and remember to belanja me if you got it......... LOL!

[janewai]

Hehe.... all the best to you lar, jane... and remember to belanja me if you got it......... LOL!

hehe... thanks ... sure won't forget it ler... :P
if really can get it, might be happened to meet you up in penang, because we were told that they will bring korean students to visit penang too... hehehe

[iQing]

yeah.. jane.. If I have the chance for sure I will try to visit the korean restaurant , which u have mentioned...

I support you in your decision... go and rock the world!

[chenchow]

yin loo (janewai), it sounds like a wonderful opportunity. The interview experience itself is very rewarding.... I really hope that you could get it... It is a very worthwhile experience. It might be difficult, as you are kind of like a "facilitator for NS", except that it is a facilitator for those koreans in Malaysia.

Try your best and hope to hear the good news from you~! Thanks for sharing and good luck~!

Haha.... then i will bring them tour around penang's hawker centers. LOL! Make them enjoy the food here, and at the same time, get them to spend a lot in Malaysia (to boost Malaysia's economics). Then we can apply some Local Network Marketing skills. Get them to spread the word among the Koreans, and this will bring more Koreans to Malaysia... heck, what am i crapping about...

Anyway, i've to go back to Shah Alam soon. Sigh, going to miss this comp here... and the good food here.... Sigh sigh sigh...

http://202.186.86.35/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2004/6/6/features/8149878&newspage=Search


There are several things about her that make her so great :

1. her talent. she sings classical, musical, pop opera, pop, rock, folk songs, new age, cultural, techno pop bla bla bla
people say she cannot be categorise in any music genra
she sings more than 10 languages

2. She?s the original lead actress of phantom of the opera, Evita (don?t cry for me argentina), and CATS... she?s the original member of west end music. so her dancing skill is superb as well.

3. Her unique soprano voice is very feminine.. and it can change into very powerful voice... sometimes she sings more than 1 voice in a song.. her 3 famous voices are soprano, normal voice and whisper. she can control her voice very well and her songs are emotional

4. She has sang for more than 20 years.. however she looks very young

her most famous trade mark song is Time to say goodbye ... duet with Andrea Bocelli (the blind singer singing with celine dion)
she also sings amigos para sampres ... the official olympic song in Barcelona

I have collected 11 of her albums and now I am going for her #DVDs

if u wish to hear her music I recommend you some of this album.. you have to buy her album according to the genra you like...

eden (new age, pop and pop opera)
harem (cultural new age)
classical (classical soprano)
la luna (new age)
best of sarah brightman (this is good)

I am still doing my report here while surfing net too.
Of course ReCom is one of the webbie I surfing too :D
I got this habit which make me can't just sitting down to do report or study, hehe... believe a lot people out there got this habit too right? :P
So, a week later, I will be staying at the college library to study for final until the exam is over.
Emm... I am told by one of ReComer who didn't get JPA scholarship that my words in the thread "do you think JPA is fair?" hurt people's feeling. Did my words are that strong?
I was just point out what I think, yet I am just using my limited english vocabulary in the forums.
I hope you guys here in this SIG correct me if my english is really that sick. :roll:

thank you for sharing...
regarding hurting people in the forum this is something we must learn in life... not all of us have exposure in discussion and not all of us know the skill of respecting people in the forum.. some people might offend lot of people yet they still don?t know...

to avoid such things from occuring try to avoid using rude or offensive words... it only make things worse and it give people bad impression about you...

I have a suggestion on how to improve the way of voicing your opinion... please read books or articles on ASSERTIVENESS

by being properly ASSERTIVE we are able to convey our opinion without offending people... being ASSERTIVE is not being AGGRESSIVE ot PASSIVE... and so on.. bla bla bla

another important feature of being ASSERTIVE in forum when voicing your opinion is starting your sentence with I rather with YOU (or the 3rd party)... it shows that the opinion is from yourself.. here?s an example...

I think that ReCom is not fine.
I believe that ReCom can improve further...

it?s better than saying


ReCom is not fine
Yin Loo is still not good

so an opinion can be said many ways... it depends whether you say it ASSERTIVELY or non-assertive...
non assertive statement can easily hurt people?s feeling in ReCom..

that?s what I can share for now... enjoy!

[chenchow]

Yin Loo, I guess it depends on everyone's interpretation... You can state that it is your personal opinion, just like iQing said.

assertiveness, isn't it part of our KH syllabus?

[chillout]

hey... i'm very happy today...

i've just heard two great news... they aren't much.. but they are just making me smile from my left ear to my right...

today we had a math competition in conjunction with math week organized by ATU, INTEC. haha... as usual I was struggling with math questions... and those questions set by eric fu was really tough... for me ler that is. I didn't manage to do all the questions and where there were objective answers to circle... I just haha.. TEMBAK with a degree of sense ler!

and.... it seems I've got 6th place... to me it is indeed a great deal... I'm just so happy...

the next news.... my junior from my school will be entering ATU11... yay! at least I can say there's a junior from my school... after all my school is not as prestigious as others... YAY! SMK (P) Taman Petaling is showing improvement... yay! Plus.. I can sell all my books to her... yay! I'm indeed HAPPY!

[iQing]

[CyberJaya]

Let me tell you guys about my day 9/6/2004
Well it started off with me thinking about going to a summer school one day course in self confidence. There are three courses over the summer in the same subject. Because i decided not to go today i'll have two more chances to repeat the class over the summer. I'm sure i'll make it to one of those because it seems like such a good class. I made a couple of purchases on Ebay. Mainly football shirts/Videos and console games. One of the bids was for LMA manager 2004 which is the console game giant of the football management genre. at the moment the bid is below five pounds so hopefully it'll stay that way. I also made a bid for an England Football shirt and that was for less than a pound, a massive bargain. I went out to get the postal orders for the things i'm buying and then i got home and typed out and sent off the letters for them.

After that my dad was very upset with me for putting on music a bit loud and walking too fast. Hes still not talking to me as we speak. Its making me a little bit upset but i'll try and smooth things over with him as the days go by. Now i'm going to renew my library books online through the uni library. I hope i dont have any fines.

[iQing]

thanx for sharing. I though u r studying in UK right? how can u r with ur dad? by the way, I hope everything will go on smoothly..

yeah.. I think u have a good experience...

go for the summer course... I think u will learn a lot from it..

thanx again for sharing...

[CyberJaya]

We're living over here now so its good. I plan on working in the Uk for a few years when i graduate. Then once i get management experience and enough cash to buy myself a place and car in Malaysia i'll be heading over there. Thats the way i see things at the moment anyway.

[iQing]

oic. that?s a good long term thinking. thanx for sharing...
Do you plan to do some invesment? u can learn a little by little while studying...

I think I have such a feeling maybe this is the first summer I face in oversea...

[iQing]

today I have "invited" my classmate to my hostel to teach me teachnical CAD drawing. luckily with his help I think I can pass this subject liao..
it took really a long time to do our work.
I dunno how he do somehow he spoiled my mouse....

after that I belanjar him makan in a chinese restaurant.
The food is damm expensive but it really taste very very very tasty. I even inroduce lychee to him...
I have to pay 18? from my pocket but I think it?s worth it...

as he has helped me in my study..
he?s actually from Greece... all the time I though he?s a Turk... haha

nice experience..

from him I know that there?s 2 more weeks before exam and I though there?s 4 more weeks.. so blur one...

ok.. no time left.. have to study... everything is in German!!! help....

[ElansarGelmir]

welcome to this SIG and thanx for sharing your experience...
I never know ATU for one math test like that...
by the way congrates..

PS how was Elansar doing in this quiz?
can u post his picture here for us to see? hehe

Elansar didn't join the quiz because:

1. Elansar is slacking
2. Elansar doesn't take calculus, so no team
3. Elansar saw the questions before the day of quiz liao
4. The quiz is set by Eric Fu! Wah lao, see he set only arr, i know i won't join at all liao... Everything based solely on Form 4 and Form 5 concepts... i dun like conceptual mathematics... prefer those questions that require u to use the basic arithmathic skill to solve some probs...

Eh, why u wanna see my pic?

[iQing]

today at YIM I chatted with a crazy guy... he doesn?t wanna share his ID and talk craps show cartoon audibles etc.
but finally got a chance to see his face..

(right or not elansar?)

(right or not elansar?)

today, i really got my energy drained out by a psycho who uses webcams and show obscene signs, show me the cockcroaches in his mouth, his rooms... almost stripped for me liao... LOL! just exaggerating about the stripping part. And the worst is... the chat is all ketam!

[iQing]

Today I have chatted with 2 people... Elansar and chenchow..

Elansar... grrr... having fun manipulating him... hehe

however chenchow has the same wavelength as me... we chatted for a long time and I really learn something from this smart guy.

[ElansarGelmir]

We've always learnt something from Chen Chow...

[iQing]

yeah. I wish i have the chance to chat more with this guy

[iQing]

yeah. I wish i have the chance to chat more with this guy


I hope he will publish his books one day.

12 / 06 / 2004 Saturday good weather, aalen, BW, Germany

yesterday night I have chat with ElansarGelmir and Chenchow on YIM.. glad to interact with ReComers..

at first I use IE there?s something wrong with the IM as it can?t function.. it has something to do with my spyware or software.. after using MSN explorer everythin went ok...

today I have downloaded ICQ and I have added many ReComrs... first time I chat with so many recomers..and I have persuade them to join this great SIG!!! (hallo everyone!!!)

too bad those hackers always attact ReCom.. I hope everything will be fine.

Glad to know that our SIG have exceeded 101 active points.. this is a record!
Hope everyone will be active to share thier lives.. and learn from each other.

now I am cooking bak kut teh.. long time haven?t cook it... yum yum.

to those who wish to add me in ICQ my number is 202405059

[ElansarGelmir]

Hmmm... Can't log into RECOM at first... then panda_boy gave me a brilliant solution. He asked me to download Mozilla... and true to his words, i can log into RECOM all of sudden. And i think i get sick of IE for the time being. Better use Mozilla. Coz i think my IE got spyware also. Funny things popping out of it, auto install into my comp and other funny stuffs... This better not be iQing's prank... Else, i will have him for dinner. LOL!

[janewai]

last few days almost all the same to me, finish class, study at library with classmates.
but yesterday( 12062004, saturday) quite special for us (my classmates and my malaysia friends too) :D
Malaysia student football team was the runner-up winner in my college football match. they was beaten by electronic engineering team which beated my classmates at the first match of yesterday. lolz
i wish i can share those pics in this SIG one, so bad the pics were deleted by one of my korean classmate accidentally :(

[iQing]

www.circles99.com/Recom

since this is informal, please invite everyone in ur email address book to join... end up more people will know about recom....
let?s make this party a hot spot..
thanx!!!

have fun!!!

[chillout]

hey i just wanted to say that although I went through a tiring day today...

I am absolutely HAPPY!

I have a friend who lost some very important documents perhaps 3 days ago and was losing hope that they would ever be found.

What stressed this person further was these documents would cause a lot of trouble if fresh ones had to be produced.

Search and query had been done time and time again but no good news.... lost hope and thus resorted to the troublesome process of making new ones...

However today, I felt something in me that perhaps the cleaners should be asked again... and when this fren of mine went to ask...

I prayed a prayer to GOD asking for his choicest blessings... I seek him desperately cos' I realised the importance of it...

And yeah... as you expected.. the cleaners really had them... I was overjoyed because the Lord answered my prayer at that very instant.... His GRACE is overflowing. PRAISE THE LORD!

[chillout]

I am going to be dead soon....

'cos haven't been sleeping much.. n stuck on the pc doing flash presentation.... deadline is thursday... haha!

[pandaboy]

Wow....IQing actually invited me to join this SIG at first...but i didnt bother to read as there are so many long posts....im such a lazy person.

But today, I just drop by to go through each and every posts.....

June 21, 2001- 900pm Malaysian Time - Monday

Today is just like the day before. Stick with my laptop all day long. Basically, played O2Jam, an online music multiplayer game. Stop once in a while to surf the net. Marcus, the photographer who took my prom night pictures finally put up the photos of the prom in his website. I looked so funny in those photos! I admit i'm such an ugly guy, just wish I can be as good looking as some of those in the photos. But, everytime i feel that way, I will start telling myself that I should be grateful as there are a lot more people out there who look even worse than me. Self-consoling...huh?

Bored of playing O2 Jam already, so decided to post something here in SIG. Right now, there are so many mosquitoes attacking me. I wanted to do a lot of things for this holiday of mine. I guess I better start planning tomorrow. My other friend already started working today. I did not plan to work at the moment, as I wanted to really relax and enjoy this 2 months.... I didnt relax at all since after SPM. After SPM, I looked for jobs, and finally got a job in a shopping centre, then work till few days before I joined Taylor's College for A-levels. After joining Taylor's, I was so busy with my studies, and in just a blink of an eye, now I've completed my course. Results will be out in August, I really dont know how I performed in that exams. Just wish that I will not disappoint my parents.


By the way, this thread sounds like a blog to me. I've been writing web logs for some time...but that is like a secret hiding place for me... LOL. No one knows about the website....except me. 8)

[iQing]

I think I am facing some sort of break down.
My exam is coming in 2 weeks time and I am not confident of passing all the subjects..
it?s an uphill climb for me as everything is in German.
I worry so much that now I don?t even have the mood to study...
so I spend some time chatting instead of worring.. thanx to those who chatted with me...

I think the tension is so great that if I continue to study I will just go explode.... etc..

I hope life would be less stressfull..
well, I have to listen more to Kitaro?s soothing music and eat more chocolate....

[PJKru]

I really should be striving harder to find a job. If i do get one then i can save up for a trip to Malaysia which would be a nice boost before the new term begins in september. How hard can job hunting be? It seems like all the retail jobs seem to go quickly and they have too many applicants.

yo iQing, dun worry... take things easily lar... relax first, go jogging or do some light exercise... this will keep u heated up, or maybe de stress u... then u can start working out on ur books... perhaps rest every hour? Depends... study when u feel u can absorb optimumly... hehe, that's what i always do, but my optimum hour usually last for about 15-20 minutes.... then go to sleep liao... :wink:

All the best in ya eXaM

[iQing]

now i am having headache... just took medication..
My "tuition teacher" is coming to teach me a little bit about my studies...

thanx for your concern.... (terharu)

[iQing]

today is just another normal day of my life..
yesterday I have studied until 2.30 am but still I didn?t really study many things... so I am kinda worry that I can?t really pass all the subjects (despite seniors say that they are confident that I can pass all subjects)

Today I ponteng physics... reason : the lesson is boring as I can?t understand his German...
I can understand better by just reading... physics is not one of the important subjects...

this afternoon I have studied for a few hours...
after that my tutor comes and teach me some material science, where I have learned a lot of stuffs from him.

so tonight I have to study more again...

2 more weeks till exam... and I need to prepare to overcome my fear of exam....

[janewai]

25062004, 1008am (seoul, Korea)

Wow, finally I finished my final exam!
Holidays now....
very tired for the whole exam week!
I was in the library for the whole last week, studied day and night preparing for the exam and rushing for some last assignments too!
one subject already get the results, which is called unit operation of chemical engineering, I got A0 (A+ is the best).
this is the subject that i got the most confident at....so...
I don't think I can get good results for other subjects because I did a lot mistakes for some papers.
but I did try my best ! that's all i can get for this time!
feel quite nervous waiting for the results! :roll:
next month i will go for practical training in a ceramic factory for 4 weeks.
emmm...... before going for practical, think i will only stay at home and recharge my energy back. :P

[iQing]

yo... I was stressed and lack of energy..
the whole saturday I was in my room not studying at all.. no mood .. stress.

today after going to Gym (fitness centre) I become very fresh and ready to study for my final...

exercise do helps...

let?s Go!

[janewai]

wah lau... last week was stay up late at night for preparing exam... but these few days just after exam i also stay up till early morning just watching for Euro2004... then sleep at day time... people sleeping time i stay awake... people awake time i sleep... lolz
then today keep trying on my avatar and signature here...

emmm... testing now ... haha

[janewai]

it?s unpleasant to see these testing in threads..
please delete them after testing..
thanx

errr.. sorry.. sorry... but i think i cant delete it wor... :oops:
anyway... finished testing...
thanks :oops:

[iQing]

Today I have my first exam paper in my life in Germany
it?s informatics 1

it?s a bit funny... 2 peopl share one PC to do the exam...

The lecture bring one box and we have to close our eyes to pick a paper from the box...
we either do Maple, Excel or Words...

Luckily I got Excel and the exam was easy...

what a relieve.. maybe exam isn?t always hard after all...

[janewai]

Today just a normal day for me... waiting the final results...

Today got a new results came out already lor.. then unexpectted I get A+ for it while I am not so confident for that subject actually... i thought most of my classmates sure get the same with me... in fact most of them are get the same with me...

Then just now I chat with one of my classmate that studied together with me during the whole exam week... He is the one who helped me the most in my study too... I thought he get the same results with me since what we studied for exam was exactly same and wont be different so much too...

Who knows he told me that he just get a B+ for it!!! I was just like "huh?! how come it happened???" then he told me that he is not feeling to continue his study again for the next sem! Come on.... I am not willing to lost a good study partner just because of this... but I dont know what to say to console him since my results is better than him now...

My mood is totally influenced.... not really in the mood by now..... :roll: :? :(

[janewai]

This early morning visit friend, Ivan's homepage as usual. Then saw his friend, Dale post an article saying that can get 1GB mail from spymac.

Emmm... so feel curious about it.... then try to see how to get the 1GB mail by surfing the site.

Well, through spymac.com (http://www.spymac.com) mainpage, notised that except can get the 1GB mail, we also can get some benifits like what I listed below:

-250 MB of space to upload pictures in the Spymac Gallery
-100 MB free space on Spymac Hosting with WebDAV access
-Free iCal Hosting
-Access to the Spymac Forums and Shoutbox
-Your very own Spymac Blog
-Access to the Spymac Auctions

Because of I wanted to own a homepage so much along these time, I decided to apply for it. So, after get it, I, who don't know anything about web blogging and programming, spent my whole day to keep on trying to publish and upload file in the WebDav access that provided by Spymac.

Finally with the help from my friends, Ivan and Ifejioku as my advicer, I did upload and access the homepage successfully. Although it is quite tiring along the process, I learnt a lot, such like how to set up FTP and transfer file with it, and some HTML too!!! :D

janewai@<hidden> is my new email address.. :)
http://janewai.spymac.net
this is my new homepage..... got nothing inside yet... will learn more about programming in this coming summer holiday.

[iQing]

tomorrow is the first day of my exam.
tonight after I have studied I see the list of my MSN instant messenger.
there are the emails of my friends and seniors.
Some of them are usually busy and seldom reply my "hi" "hello" messege.

since we are all going to face exam, I write the words
"Good Luck in your exam"
copy and paste and send it to all my online friends and senior...

surprisingly something magical has happened.

one by one they replied...

many of them said "thanx... u 2"

it?s kinda touching seeing lotsa replies from these people..... rare indeed. it?s really a special feeling...

everyone was happy.....

[The_Observer]

You guys making me feel guilty le...I right now shaking leg at home, nothing to do...exam long over, results already come back. Dying of boredom...some more its winter down here. Although no snow but it rains nearly everyday. Spoil plans only. Now I am stuck in my house whole day... this is not healthy.

Any ideas to what I can do to cure my boredom?

[iQing]

well, if u love to learn new things it would be great for u.
Some of us stay oversea and don?t want to come home because we want to learn many new things.
U can try to learn....

some programming..
how to create website.
Read some books.
write some articles.
learn a new language.
join a club.
travelling .
etc.
so many things to do..

so don?t just sit in the house.
Step out of the house and meet more people.

have fun!

[The_Observer]

Easier said than done. The weather also not co-operating.
Wish I could go to some place else, like Brisbane and the Gold Coast. But I no $$$

My friends, most of them went back to their respective countries or hometowns. My housemate still around but he spend most of his time with his girlfriend, that lucky bastard. I like kana abandoned.

I got my books with me. I read and re-read but it gets boring after some time and I am still at home! Cripes, I should go overnight in other ppl's places for a change. Perhaps I will...

[janewai]

Emmm.... in my previous post, I did mention that I get a weblog that provided by spymac.com (http://www.spymac.com) . Welcome to my weblog through My HomePage (http://janewai.spymac.net) if you are interested to know more about my daily life here in Korea. I think it is better in this way instead of I copy paste the whole blog from there to post here. Furthermore, that's meaningless for me if I do so...... :wink:

[The_Observer]

yum.....i love some good hot kimchi.....

[iQing]

what?s a kimchi?

[Kevinlim]

japanese food ekekeke...... :P :oops:

[iQing]

is kimchi something like that?


<img src=http://www.lclark.edu/~krauss/culturecapsulesf2001/kimweb/images/kimchi%20.jpg>

what?s the meat and vege? how does it taste like?
it looks more like chinese dish to me...


(is it true that japanese food is best served cold? japanese food seems so different from chinese food)

[The_Observer]

Kimchi is Korean food la (hehe...referring to janewai :wink: )
And, yes your picture fits the bill.

For Hokkien speakers, 'kimchi' = "kiam chai"
It is preserved vegetables with a lot of chilli :p~~

Good for winter weathers like now....

[janewai]

yeah... kimchi is korean food.... you will get it in every meal you eat in the restaurant...

about the pic that iQing post, that's not kimchi... that's one of the dish that be cooked with kimchi... kimchi is just got the vegetable with chilli....

[blackrovers]

hey iqing...wat should i write under this title...is it juz like a blog ?
erm...ok let me try one...

7/7... this day the final results relased...felt a bit down...like the world is gonna exposed...3 subjects i failed 1...sigh...but later i've been pulled up again, cuz i get the 2nd chance to sit for the paper again. although it may be tougher, but i've to try...

8/7... another result released. thank god. i've get credit. and now i can concentrate on that failed subject.

9/7... nothing special happened...a boring friday

10/7... erm went to watch spiderman 2 ...quite good. cannot wait the 3rd episode release...

11/7... a boring sunday. sit infront the computer and replying this article. :P

[wpyeoh]

My path in life right now is totally boring...for the last few weeks our timetable has been totally uncertain...imagine getting up in the morning, going to class...and at 12noon when the class ends, you still don't know whether there's class in the afternoon...*sigh* At least now it's over...I still have one class tomorrow and then it'll be holidays!

Spent today looking through this SIG...at least now I won't be a total blur when I look at the latest posts ^_^

[iQing]

thanx for sharing.

I find that my student life is boring.

I would like to question why the top people who set the system make our education system so boring? I mean they were once students right? They should understand us..
Learning thing should be something fun, not just doing boring stuffs.... the system should focus more on motivating people.. at least making the teachers / lecturers more interesting + caring.....

I am studyingi n germany. It?s frustrating because I have the desire to join many activities and seminar but everything is in German and they speak so fast..

I will learn German hard. Once I master the language I hope my study life will change....

hmmm... there?s a tall wall (challenge) to climb....

[debbie]

I had a pretty bad day today. Well it wasnt entirely bad.. my Physics test was great. But somehow, I feel like breaking down and crying.. so many things to get done, so little time , .. i had only 4 hrs of sleep last night and my best friend claims im neglecting her. I really cant help it. Very busy, you see. Tomorrow will be better, i hope, with the add maths test. I wish 4 a great day tomorrow.

Good luck in ur exams, debbie.

Good luck to u too, iQing. With your determination, I'm sure u can master German language one day.

No matter how tough our situation is like, I'm sure there are some other ppl out there who are undergoing tougher life than us. If they can handle those situation, why cant we? Rite?

This would be my last post in ReCom....

Finally I have finished my exam. The exam is not as hard as I have perceived. That?s a great relieve for me.

Well, I guess it?s time for me to focus in my life of reality...

3 months holidays...
I can do so many things...

I am not going back to Malaysia.
I am staying here to learn...
I am going to improve my german so that I can join seminars, groups. It?s frustrating for me when I wish to join an event yet my language problem hamper my desire...
now it?s the chance for me to change myself...

I guess most of the time I will online just to learn stuffs like investing and learning skills....
I will have to plan my travelling, esp for my western europe adventures. It?s going to be hard but it satisfy me a lot.
I am going to read many interesting books as well.. such as literature and science.

now I have the time to focus on body building (I take physical development seriously)
I invest heavily on health starting from my young age.
I hope having a strong + powerful body increases my abilities in doing other things...

I will focus on spiritual development as well..
to become more spiritually aware + being more emphaty...

so it?s going to be a new page of life...

I have laid down a very good foundation for this wonderful SIG.
I hope more people will join it and share thier life experience.
although I might not be here but I am sure it?s going to be fine.
It?s really nice to read other people?s experience as we can learn from each other.

Maybe from time to time I will come and visit u guys.. or maybe I might share something although it?s not that possible.

For one month I have meet many people and having great social network with you guys... it?s satisfying..
I guess now I have the majority of the active members' contact...

I find that it?s great to stay here and share for a short time.
But i think it?s not a place to stay here too long.
I dunno why I feel this but I just don?t like some sort of attachment.
Maybe I don?t really belong to here after all.
Life have to move on....

chenchow, u r a really wonderful + sincere friend. I wont regret of meeting u. I hope our friendship will last forever.
Elansar, you are realy one active funny guy..
yin loo, do take care of yourself..
Pandaboy, u r one of the best anchor I hv ever met. I really like to be with u for this one whole month.
and to everyone else.. it?s really nice to meet you and thanx a lot for sharing your life... it?s really meaningful.



So you guys have fun here..
my homepage is at http://www.angelfire.com/fang/iqing/
enjoy...
bye bye everyone.

[The_Observer]

So who's gonna take iQing's place in [SIG] ~* Walking Along the Path of Life now ???

[wpyeoh]

Why take his place? Just continue the SIG...

[janewai]

iQing, agree with you that everyone needs change..... everyone needs to try out new things and needs to improve oneself from time to time... take your time... hope you really can enjoy your holidays with your plans...
feel free to drop by recom and share your experience in germany with us... :D
think there will be a lot of the members in this SIG are going to miss you here... :)

[The_Observer]

Speaking of change (in tradition with our SIG :) ),

Let me tell you a story of me switching over to my rival school when I was in Form 3. Those Kuching boys will know what I mean.

I practically knew no one. Everything seems foreign...although it was only like what? 2-3 km from my previous school. I felt afraid..because I was never used to be lonely. I have always had a close clique of friends around (even now..) but at that time, I had nothing but myself and my schoolbag. I only knew just one person, just an acquaintance..not really a friend (yet..).

When I introduced myself...you should see the reaction on their faces when they found out where I was formerly from. I had joined a few inter-school competitions before and screwed their school up, so they did not relent in letting me know how dissatisfied they are.
But, I swallowed my pride and endured the ragging. Luckily they didn't get physical with me. The local school gangsters did threaten to beat me up if somthing cropped up, they later said that they were joking but I still wonder....

Everybody spoke differently and behaved differently. I felt out of place immediately. Even the teachers put me under the spotlight. Trust me, its not a warm, fuzzy feeling. I tried to make new friends but for the first few weeks..it was either me or they who shyed away. Not a good start...but as I always reminded myself..all this are lessons for character building.

By Form 5, what do you know... I have circles and circles of friends. My previous school became a rival school, not a place I attach anymore significance. When we parted for each other's destinies, as one by one of my friends left for their respective choices, I felt so so devastated. But, having been through such things before..I know things will turn out to be better. Always.

And that is what I share with you:

Hope.

[digimushu]

hahaha,

as in st joe and st thom?
:lol:

[ElansarGelmir]

iQing, what lar... why want to divorce with Recom? We are like on family liao... takkan u want to walk out of this SIG, something which u have accomplished successfully? Everyone in RECOM is equally important, so u can't say that u aren't important.

If one grain were to say one does not make a wheatfield, there would be no bread.

If one drop of water says one does not make an ocean, there would be no sea

If one word says one does not make a library, there would be no books.

And if u were to say u do not make Recom, there won't be this SIG...

Think about it, iQing....

[The_Observer]

Errr....he's not going to read this post...you'll need to ICQ or MSN iQing from now on.

[ElansarGelmir]

Hmm.... i've just talked to him over ICQ... sigh, the reason he gave is not a plausible one... nvm lar, let he do what he thinks is best.

[janewai]

well, i wont stop my friends from doing anything as long as they will happy with what they do....
even if my friend tell me that, he/she feels so tired and want to commit suicide or what, i wont stop them too...
maybe you guys think that i am crazy one or siao one....
but that's me... i encourage my friends do what they wish and want... and i strongly believe that all my friends are mature enough and can differeciate what they should do and what they shouldn't do.... and also i think that if one can do what they wish and want is the great happiness for him/her... hehe...

You wouldn't stop a friend from suicide??!! Yeah, that's right, I think you're nuts. Suicide is the worst thing you can do to yourself. It's totally giving up on life. But just you wait till someone comes tell you that he/she wants to commit suicide; (haha...probably won't happen now that I've said it) you'll feel differently.

[pandaboy]

Yeah, suicide is a serious matter which should not be taken lightly. No matter what happened, we must stop our frens from commiting suicide. Commiting suicide is the worst choice to be taken by someone to solve a problem. By the way, isn't suicide a crime too?

To iQing, if you are reading this, thanks for being a friend to me and to all of us too. It's a pleasure to know you. You're a great guy. I dont really know what are the reasons u stop involving in ReCom, but whatever ur reason is, I will support ur decision and will always welcome u back here if u change ur mind one day. I believe all of us here in ReCom will also welcome him back, right?

So all the best to whatever you do, Han Ching. And take good care.

ElansirGelmir, I think you got to take over iQing's job to promote this SIG... You wont disappoint him, right?

Wow, that's dangerous! The driver might try to save the cat, avoid it and head towards u!

Sorry for the cat...but arent cats supposed to have 9 lifes? 8O

I guess this one used up all 9 liao... T_T

[ElansarGelmir]

ElansirGelmir, I think you got to take over iQing's job to promote this SIG... You wont disappoint him, right?

It's everyone's job... Nonetheless, i will try my best to keep this SIG alive. You ppl got to contribute as well.... :wink:

Eeew... Ok, even though i despise, no, too benign a word, loathe cats severely, this is just horrible! Should get the car to INTEC UiTM... Many cats there....

You are joking, aren't you. There's a lot of cat too in UTM. I don't like them either, but not to the extent of getting rid of them in such cruel way.

A story to share.....

http://mychannel.pchome.com.tw/channel/class/show_preview.php3?d=2003-09-20&enname=flyawy&t=.gif&fn=image&view=1

God's Boxes

I have in my hands two boxes,

Which God gave me to hold.


He said, "Put all your sorrows in the black box,

And all your joys in the gold."

I heeded His words, and in the two boxes,

Both my joys and sorrows I stored,

But though the gold became heavier each day,

The black was as light as before.

With curiosity, I opened the black,

I wanted to find out why,

And I saw, in the base of the box, a hole,

Which my sorrows had fallen out by.

I showed the hole to God, and mused,

"I wonder where my sorrows could be!"

He smiled a gentle smile and said,

"My child, they're all here with me."

I asked God, why He gave me the boxes,

Why the gold and the black with the hole?

"My child, the gold is for you to count your blessings,

The black is for you to let go."

[wpyeoh]

Nice... :)

Here is a good lesson of life I would like to share:


Our Worst Enemy
By Michael Lee, CPA

Who do you consider as your worst enemy? The criminals roaming
the dark streets? Your boss who's killing you mentally and
emotionally with stress and harsh words? The people in office
who are engaging in graft and corruption, instead of helping
those in need?

We have many implications of who our enemies are; but we have
one common foe who is the main cause of our failures and
misfortunes, and we're not even aware of this opponent.

You may not want to admit it, but our worst enemy is ourselves.

Who do you blame when something goes wrong? You blame the people
around you, the weather, maybe even God. But we are the ones who
are in control of ourselves. We can change the outcome of our
lives because we have the capacity to do that.

It is our fear, jealousy, greed, etc. that is ruining our lives.
Some people who never managed to get out of poverty blame the
government or their jobs. But they're too afraid to try out
new ventures that may improve their lives. They half-heartedly
go to work on their 9 to 5 job. Then when the day is done, they
watch TV and go out aimlessly having fun without seriously
thinking of what great opportunity the future has in store for
them, if only they would try to do something different with their
lives.

Fear has caused many to remain frigid and to never go out
exploring the wonderful things this world has to offer.
Lots of people would rather stay where they are in an
unsatisfied state than to risk difficulties and obstacles
for the sake of attaining their dreams.

If their lives are not getting any better, they have no else
to blame but themselves.

Jealousy and envy has also caused some relationship problems.
Some people immediately jump to conclusions without first
analyzing the situation. They let their sudden emotions
control their behaviors without even thinking of the
consequences that may result.

If they're having problems with their relationships, they
have no else to blame but themselves.

This goes to show that we decide what will happen to us. Of
course, there are circumstances that are beyond our control,
like natural calamities. But we can still utilize to our best
advantage the things that we have control of.

For instance, you got rejected by your dream girl. Some
people would just get drunk and feel miserable, thinking that
it's the end of the world. Some will move onwards with their
lives and find the best in what remains with them. See? It's
really up to you. You decide if you want to have a good life
or not.

You failed in your exams? So what? There's another
opportunity. You can just sulk in sorrow or you can study
harder to get a high score in the future. It's up to you.

There's no use crying over spilled milk. You don't have to
get frustrated over your misfortunes. Concentrate on how
you could get better in the future.

If we encounter problems, we can either succumb to it, or we
can treat it as an opportunity to become stronger and to
become better individuals. Winners would always treat their
dilemmas as opportunities.

Oh yes. We can be our worst enemy, but we can also be our
best friend. It's all up to you!

hi.... today i do not feel down, but there is a certain sadness in my heart. hmm... ok that is a contradiction. I mean i do not feel very bad... just that my heart seems to hurt.... i wonder how do you cure a painful heart?

What i will do is either chew down a box of chocolate or just isolate myself, go to my bed, hug my bolster, and think about happy thoughts (maybe take revenge or what... hehe). What's the problem, iceberg? Wanna share? Someone bully u again? Hehe, i can beat them up. LOL!

[chiunlin]

If I did exactly the same thing, the chances are that I'll continue my depressive thoughts. The more lonely we are, the more likely for us to develop depressive thoughts. I think we should try to stay in a crowd by going out or talking to friends.

You heart hurts? For no particular reason? Hmm...i used to feel that too. If for me, I will listen to some happy fast musics....or get myself tired (like by playing computer games, or watch vcds) then go to sleep. :) I always sleep that way...hehe. If not, I will think a lot and kept rolling here and there on the bed.

[PeiWen]

Today, in the office, quite boring as my supervisor has gone to China for business trip, that's what my godbrother said, "When the cat is gone, mices come out to play"...haha...
It's been ages since last time I logged on Recom. With its new layout, it really caught my attention and interest again. It's impressive I must say. good job ReComers!~
This time around, I discover a really interesting and good SIG. That's why now I'm posting something on it, part of my contribution for ReCom, and also, it's really a good place to pour out your feelings, your emotions, your ups and downs in daily life.
Time flies, my internship is going to end in the end of August. I'll be going back to campus again to complete my studies and hopefully can graduate next year in May. Throughout these 4 months of internship, it really teaches me a lot, and broaden my knowledge. Besides what I've experienced in the office, but also the relationship with friends, colleagues, and love relationship. At this moment, my feelings, quite in a mixed feelings. I feel sad as I shall never figure out what is "He" thinking about, quite wringing my heart that I have to bear with "His" cold shoulders and sometimes warmth; sometimes just confused me. I feel grateful as I have my godbrother (I think he'll be reading my post, hehe) always there for me, encourages me, gives me advices. Albeit he sounds so not serious most of the time, however, he always there, when I need someone to talk to, to vent out my sorrows. Somehow I never seen my godbrother in real person, but I know that he's sincere to me, and treats me as good as possible.
Lunch time coming soon, perhaps will drop another note before I leave the office?

Well, my first ever post in this SIG, hope it will add up color to this SIG...cheers~~~

Today I was surfing thru The Star website. and happened to stumble upon this article:

http://thestar.com.my/lifestyle/story.asp?file=/2004/7/28/features/8523125&sec=features

Proof that being incapacitated physically does not mean that your brain has to be incapacitated as well. Makes me feel how lucky i am everyday

:D

[Steppe]

Something to share.....

THE LAW OF THE SEED

Take a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree, each with ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds. We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a few more trees?" Nature has something to teach us here. It's telling us: "Most seeds never grow. So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once.

This might mean:

You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job.
You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.
You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, car, vacuum cleaner, insurance policy, or idea.
And you might meet a hundred acquaintances to find one special friend.

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed. We stop feeling like victims. Laws of nature are not things to
take personally. We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELL

Successful people fail more often. They plant more seeds. When Things Are Beyond Your Control, Here's a recipe for permanent misery:

a) Decide how you think the world SHOULD be.
b) Make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.

Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, get angry! That's what miserable people do!

Let's say you expect that:

Friends SHOULD return favors.
People SHOULD appreciate you.
Planes SHOULD arrive on time.
Everyone SHOULD be honest.
Your spouse SHOULD remember your birthday.

These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won't happen! So you end up frustrated and disappointed. There's a better
strategy. Have less demands. Instead, have preferences! For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself: "I WOULD PREFER "A", BUT IF "B"
HAPPENS, IT'S OK TOO!" This is really a game that you play in your head. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind.

You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ... but rain is ok!

To become happier, we either need to
a) change the world, or
b) change our thinking.

It is easier to change our thinking!

IN A NUTSHELL

It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness. It's how you think about what happens to you.

[janewai]

waaaaaaaa...
emmm... nothing special lately.. working days....
well... what i see my colleagues working, and talk with them when there is free time, realised that in this world really got variety types of people. at least the persons i meet everyday now, around 15++ persons, everyone of them got thier own character and attitude. almost everyday there is conflics among each other.

hehe.. suddenly feel that i see more widely again along these 22 years, 6 months and 25 days i living in this colorful world.

*oh yeah... come on everyone... keep on our good work posting in this SIG!!!! we already beat the others SIG.. haha :P

[pandaboy]

*sigh* ..For the past few weeks, I cant sleep well. I kept making myself tired so that I can fall asleep. Too many stuffs to think.... now I'm like at the junction of my life.... I have to choose which road to take and no turning back.... :(

My relationships with some ppl really turned out bad these few days. :(

What type of Bridge u guys normally play?
Auction? Contract?

Bridge Rocks!

[ElansarGelmir]

Auction... i wanna try Contract, but never got the chance to learn it... but dun think it's as interesting as Auction bridge.... hehe....
Observer, in the Bridge game that u play, can u choose ur partner, or it's already fixed?

Cause in my game, the bidder who won the bid got to call for his partner, while in Yahoo Bridge, the partner will be the one who's sitting across u....

[digimushu]

I woke up today and realised that i'm in the US (duh!). Strange isn't it? about 5 years ago I would not have thought that I would be where I am right now. Not in this school, not in this field. But here I am, staring through this reaview mirror and looking at that i have done for the last 5 years. Makes me wonder what I would have done if things were different, if all this was different.

I remember the first day I woke up in my bedroom in m'sia and I looked around the room as I was sitting up, wondering if my university life was nothing more than a dream, wondering if i was awake, or still dreaming.

Oh well, I turn my wipers on, and continue ahead with my journey through life, no matter how foggy my future might be...

Just my random ramblings...

[PeiWen]

I came back from KL this afternoon...half way walking back to my house, it rained. Luckily I wasn't drenched. The trip to KL is rather disappointing, I didn't get to see the person I wish to see, but also, another stab in my heart, another blow for me to give up, yet I still find it hard to quit it. Am I cheating to myself all this while? Trying hard to believe what I think is he thinking about? "Always trust what your heart tells you"...that's why I always believe what my heart tells me, though he has been saying those hurtful words to me...
I helped Mum to give tuition at night, she said she was too tired to teach. Looked at her sleepy eyes, liveless body, I felt so heartache....Mum has been working hard to provide us the best, so that we can study hard without worrying the fees and expenses...but I did nothing much to eliminate her work, her chores....how I wish I can graduate ASAP, and start working, repay my parents' kindness, so that Mum can retire and relax, enjoy her life...
School is going to reopen next week, I seem like don't have the mood to strive hard for my final year....aiks...I can't keep on lazing around or slacking around longer...Gotta gear up and make the final effort in order to graduate with excellent results....

~sorry if any of you find what I've rambled above are lame and all craps....~

[ElansarGelmir]

Everyone (ok, almost everyone) feels that too... that somehow we owe a large gratitude to our parents and somehow if we don't clear our debts (no, you can't do that... there's no way u can repay ur parents fully for what they've done for u) sooner, we won't feel comfortable... Don't worry... you'll be able to provide them the luxuries of life one day...

[digimushu]

Food for thought:

Money talks...
i wont deny...
i heard it talk...
it said goodbye...

[budakkerek]

aha...good one..
maybe that's how the money in my wallet (and bank accounts) feel like..
no wonder
i'm always left with almost none
LOL

:D

[PeiWen]

Back to my campus again...sigh....no one is back yet...I have no idea who are my housemates, and my roommates. This time I'm living with strangers, what I mean is my friends all live in different units, that's why, I am quite nervous in knowing my new housemates, I guess most of them would be juniors. Hopefully they're nice and easy-going, else I'll be having hard time till next May...Dad always tells me to tolerate and bear with others, it won't kill if you 'rugi' a bit...sigh, there's always limit to my tolerance also....just cross my fingers that my housemates are nice people...and won't take my kindness for granted....

[pandaboy]

I came to Bristol all by myself, no friends, no guardian, no one. First few days were really terrible for me, but now....after 4 weeks here, I finally settled myself down.

I think adaptability is very important.... We have to learn how to accept changes around us... but it takes time. I'm still having problems at the moment, I hope I can overcome it soon.

[Moozy]

last week went to my 1st high school reunion. it's nothing like what's been portrayed in those american movies,ie girls comparing husbands, careers or their children. well, maybe because we are still young and couldn't possibly have husbands already but everyone's friendly. Those who'd went overseas to study had not changed despite their hair colour. All in all, most of us haven't changed much. i wonder what other people's reunions are like. :D

[PeiWen]

Mmm, too bad I always missed the highschool reunion, as my university's holidays always fall out of the schedule. However, the students who are appointed to organize the reunion never fail to ask me or inform me regarding the reunion. In fact, it's really cherishable to have attended such reunion, where everyone is brought together, to exchange news, to update each other for their recent lives and also to get tighter the bond among us. After several years, when everyone has settled down, has their families, this kind of reunion event is getting lesser, and the people who will attend countable. No matter how, whenever everyone is together, the mixed feelings always present, such as the thrill of seeing the changes in each other and the readiness to listen to all kinds of news from the friends.
Wonder when will be the next reunion for my highschool? :wink:

[pandaboy]

I remembered that I always tried to organise a reunion, but always fail. Fail as in....only few turned up. In fact, I managed to organised only one....in which about less than 10 turned up. But it was great, my good friend was there, the first girl I liked was there.... Before I came to England, I tried to organise a farewell gathering, many cant turned up too. Quite sad...seems like I'm missing them more than they missing me.

I dont know whether I should go back to Malaysia next summer. Go back to Malaysia (organise gathering again, meet parents and family..), go travelling (with the money saved from air ticket to Malaysia), or find a job....or........I dont know... :(

[PeiWen]

I guess, it's realy a disappoinment for the organisers, when those who attended the gatherings only a few of them. I think that's why my friends, who are always those bunch of people that are so enthusiastic in organising the gatherings, are getting less motivated as the support from other fellow classmates isn't encouraging..... :cry:

Yeah, that's why I felt lazy to organise such gathering since then...but then again, now I can no longer organise it even if I wanted to...

[PeiWen]

Aiks, finally, I was bombarded by sevral messages from my high schoolmates, regarding my absences for most of the gatherings.....
Sorry...people....I just couldn't make it.... :(

You must be feeling really bad :) Don't worry about it...sooner or later they will forget about that. Just tell them the reason and hopefully they will understand. If not...you can't do anything else, right? :wink:

[PeiWen]

Finally I've attended my first ever marriage registration for my best friend. It's really indescribable to have witnessed a holy matrimony between two deeply in love, holy tied together couple. I was all so thrilled and excited on that day itself. It was a mixed feelings, seeing my best friend, whom I've known since I was 4, getting engaged, officially become someone's wife. Not that I feel jealous against the husband, LOL. Instead, I caIn't bear to have lost a friend, of course not entirely, but somehow she definitley has to dedicate much time to dtrive for her future, for their future to be precise. She has much more to achieve, much to be completed in her life. She has stepped out to another stage in life, which soon enough, she might have to learn to take care of a famiy of her own, which consists only herself, her husband and of course the yet-to-come kids.
To be honest, I do have the urge of finding someone, get settled down. One shall never understand the emotions, when seeing others are declaring their love, saying the magic words "I DO". Of course, I feel happy for her, to have found her happiness....as for mine....mmm....still a long way to go...I think....
