Sem 3 of Beta, bring it on!

After flopping last semester, I made myself a new determination..."return to the way I was back in Foundation".

Today I realised something...I actually spaced out during lecture. When I gave thought about it, I never did that before during foundation...so why am I doing it now? then I thought about it harder...Oh! I get it! I dont feel the thirst for "A"s like I used to before...I wonder what made me changed. Was it taking a long break or was it exposure to life where all you need was survival skills rather than a degree (National Service). Today I sort of felt the "thirst" again. It's like having drive a BMW for the first time making you feel like never driving any other car again (though I havent drive a BMW before). I think once I manage to find my thirst back, I will be back on track. For the time being I will do my best to make sure I dont flop anymore before I regain my thirst.

My thirst? It's the thirst for "A"s not for knowledge. I want my effort to be acknowledged with "A"s. I am not doing it so that I gain more knowledge. Gaining knowledge is just a side dish like a nice colour to a BMW.

CNY and sem break is over...

Recap on what I did this CNY

On the 1st day, the whole family went down to Segamat (my father's side) to see my grandma then came back up back to Kajang before the eclipse (my mom said it was bad to travel during the eclipse...Why? something to do with negative energy and stuff)





2nd day, we had a gathering at my uncle's place somewhere in Semenyih (this time, my mom's side of the family). We had steamboat and I met my super cute but naughty cousin...Later after lunch, my big bro and me went to Kok Leong's house then hopped to Tan's girlfriend's house, then to Sam's house for dinner then back to Kok Leong's house.


3rd day, my friends invited me to Klang so I woke up about 9am and starte my journey from Kajang KTM station to Teluk Gadong where my friend will be waiting for me. The journey took almost 2 hours! O.O By the time I was in Klang, I was tired already...So Ravi picked me up from the station back to his house and met up with Jack then we went to our first destination, Chu Hui's house. After about 30 mins drive I guess, we reached at her house. Loong is there also. Arriving at the front gate there stood a small sized dog. At the sight (or maybe scent) of us, it became restless...Oh yeah, at Kok Leong's house I met his dog also, Rain. Also another hyperactive dog, jumping, sniffing and licking...so, we lepak there for a while and played some cards (gamble) before we went to Pei Lin's house which was about another 30mins drive...OMG I didnt know Klang was this big!
A bit shocked when we reached there...Pei Lin's house was huge~~~ When we arrived, her family was just going out. Wished her family Happy New Year then went in to eat cookies...hehe ^^ Played some cards while watching tv...suddenly I felt very tired...maybe her house was too spacious and comfortable LoL. Watched and tried to learn playing 3 person mahjong but still dont get how to count... Later we went to Bukit Raja Jusco to catch a movie. We decided to watch Red Cliff 2.

Woah I tell you...sibeh syok xD The strategy, the deception, the sacrifice, the determination...Fuh...This is what you call history. Not like our country's =x

Cut short, had dinner then went back.

4th and 5th day, basically rest at home and played DotA with my brother. At home, we played a four player game involving money too...MONOPOLY! haha...

That's it, here are the rest of the eclipse caught on my camera with the help of dark film and my lil bro at the end.

Someone once told me...

Knowledge is obtained through your own effort and hard work. Keep it up!

"A's" are for God, "B's" are for lecturers, "C's" are for students and "F's" are for animals.

A good leader will always be the first person to arrive and the last person to leave.

Try to smile no matter what, cause you never know when your smile could lighten up someone's day as well as it will lighten up mine.


There are two types of leader, "THE EFFECTIVE - result based without considering the procedure" and "THE EFFICIENT - procedure based without considering the results"

Success is not Final and Failure is not Fatal

Original version
"If it doesn't kills you, it will only make you stronger"
My version
"CHARGE!!! unless you are dead..."

The medium of transfer is not what matters, it's the value of the content!

This is what I told myself: Bullshit lecturer + Insufficient notes = YOU ARE SCREWED!

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you (referring to the whole class) all the luck in your future -Dr Nabil

Share knowledge because it multiplies, dont share money because it divides.

There is time to have fun and there is time to study

Put all your eggs into one basket and watch it

Always ask yourself, "what happened? what actually happened?" - Kok Lin
