On Eagles' Wings

I am ashamed. It's been.........five months since my last post. FIVE MONTHS! :O I'm so sorry my dear blog for having neglected you. Jangan merajuk ya? ;) I was thinking what I should blog about and it suddenly struck me! On the 23rd of October, I officially graduated from UKM! :D I don't have my pictures with me. They're all in my computer at the moment. (I'm typing this in my Materials class in the faculty computer lab. Oops, Dr. Hope you don't mind :p) But I promise will try to upload the pictures and blog about my PROUD moment soon! :) Let's hope I can begin blogging regularly again. Stay tuned! ;)

Have you missed me? :D It's been ages! So much has happened that I can't even begin to describe everything from where I last left off. @.@ I've been diligently updating on the Other Blog , though. So hopefully, once my practical is over, I'll be able to pick out certain highlights from there and blog about it here :) As it is, I don't have time to leisurely blog about what happens in school here. At least, not in how I'd like it to be. It'll take time and thought. Which I can't really afford on a normal school night :P (Do I sound like I've regressed 10 years and have a curfew? xD) Anyway, it's the mid-year holidays now. I've got a precious two weeks......well, less than that now, since it's already Tuesday. @.@ I've been catching up on all my favourite channels on Youtube (since in UKM, I can't really load videos in my room. It just doesn't load at all! :/) and my favourite bloggers :D It feels good to just.....br...

While I know this is going to be short-lived, I have to say, I'm glad to be back in UKM :) Maybe the excitement+anticipation of a new term does that to you. Fools you into thinking you're happy to be back until you aren't. =.= Kidding. Drove to Bangi this morning with no problems. Except for one incident where I nearly missed the turning to exit the roundabout and I made a sharp left. I think my mum must have died a little right then. She was already hitting the imaginary brakes when I was going at 100 km/h on the highway. (Is that really too fast? @.@) Moved to a new residential college for this term, Aminuddin Baki. Which means that in my four years here, I'll have stayed in 3 different colleges--KTHO, KIY, and now KAB. KTHO's single rooms and washrooms are still the best, KIY will be remembered for its monkeys , and only one day here and I'm guessing I'll remember KAB for its lack of parking spaces. T.T I'm dreading thinking about agonizing o...

The dreaded hour is finally here. It's really  here. I closed my eyes really tight, counted to ten, and opened them again, and surprisingly, it didn't changed a thing. :( Knowing in advance that it is coming, doesn't necessarily mean your heart is completely prepared for it, does it? Tomorrow, after four months  of pure, unadulterated bliss, I will be checking into my residential college to begin my first semester of my final year as an undergraduate student, which, coincidentally, is also my final semester in UKM. Sounds scarier, now that I've put it into words. @.@ Oops. What's this doing here? xD Holidays, as it seems, is never enough. Be it four days, or four freakin' MONTHS, they're never enough! At the beginning of the holidays, after my final exams last semester, it felt like I was looking up at the bottom of a rainbow, seeing the glorious colours, so delicate and fine, stretch out before me endlessly. I couldn't see the en...

Can you believe it has been 3 years since I first stepped foot in UKM as a first year undergraduate student? I can't believe it. Though it doesn't exactly feel like just yesterday, it certainly doesn't feel like three years . Going to a foreign place, a new temporary home, with no friends and far away from my family was a nerve-wrecking experience. "It's going to be exciting!" people tell me. But it comforts me none. I wonder if I'm ever going to fit in, to get used to all this newness. The first photo of Nana and I :) Then I meet my new room mate, whose first question to me is "Are you a Chinese?" It takes me completely by surprise, because I never thought I ever looked anything but  Chinese. Apparently not. I tell I  am , in fact, Chinese, last I checked. Didn't I look like one? She laughs and apologizes, explaining that that wasn't what she meant. Only that she was pleasantly surprised to be roomed with a fellow C...

Isn't it ironic that when I was in the midst of exams, I blogged almost every day? But when I'm completely free with no more studying to do, it takes me more than a week to post something up on my blog? It really is a mystery, ain't it? I guess it's just human nature--we look for whatever reason not  to do something we should. Cos we hate it. >.< Anyway, I guess I missed out on the countdown after Four down, three more to go . A little more than halfway. :) Well, I had Teaching of Writing Skills in an ESL Context  on Wednesday (20.4.2011). I memorized like crazy for that one. Types of Writing, the Models of L1 and L2 Writing, the Design Principles of Writing Instruction, Social Networking Tools in Teaching Writing.  But the essay questions were not what I had expected. The changes  in the use of social networking tools in the future? The changes  in conservative methods to incorporate social networking tools? Yikes. Well, sure. I can ...

I just completed my first paper today--  GGGD 4123 Pembangunan Insan dan Kewarganegaraan . YES !!!! :D I slept early last night.  Well, I was in bed  by 12.00 am. Snuggled up under the covers of my blankie and made sure that I had TWO alarms set for 6.30 am and 6.35 am. (Just in case I snoozed the first.) I lay there and closed my eyes, expecting sleep to come immediately, as usual. But when a text message came in at 1.04 am, I was awake to read it. (It was from Nana, about whether I wanted to order Chinese food for dinner this week. In case you were wondering.) My mind was too filled with all the stuff I was memorizing for the morning's paper. Rasional Pendidikan Sivik dan Kewarganegaraan, Matlamat, Skop Kandungan, Pendekatan, Strategi and  Penilaian. Pemupukan Nilai-nilai Murni di sekolah, Peranan Guru sebagai Pelindung, Model Tingkah Laku dan Mentor . Teori Evolusi Darwin, Teori Machiavelli, Fahaman Marxisme, Teori Psikoanalitik Sigmund F...
