Another Emcee Experience!

Facing nearly 200 audiences is not something new to me, but then, you'll still have butterflies in your stomach. Although you have experiences in it, somehow you'll still feel nervous. Even Robin who emceed with me during HOPE closing dinner, such a professional emcee like him said, "I'll still be nervous. Every experience is different. You will never know what will happen suddenly."

I guess it's true. After emceeing for few events, and then this is the 2nd seminar for VC which I helped emceed. I remembered, I started my emcee journey by being a backstage emcee for primary school singing competition. Anyway, I still have sooooo much more to improve on. I am still bad!!! I still speak toooo fast!!!!! For goodness sake I should rather be a DJ!

Today I went down to JB to emcee for a chinese seminar. It's my first time doing a more formal emcee in chinese. I felt so weird. Some terms, made me tongue tied. But overall, it was good. I love it. It's also nice talking to the speakers, Dr Woon, Nutritionist Miss Chang, and Psychologist Miss Chee. Anyway, the best thing I love about all seminars in hotels I went to, is - THE HIGH TEA. :p

Haha. I sat Firefly for the first time. I love it! It's so much more better than Air Asia. It's earlier, and the seat is wider, and the seat can be leaned backwards, and got refreshments!!! For budget airlines, Firefly is good!!! Subang airport is nice too. It's been a very long time since I've been there, surprised to how it had changed. :)

On the way to JB, I read my journal on flight. Need to do a critical review on that. But it was too tedious until I decided to sleep. On the way back, I had a whole lots of fun talking to Sue Fei. I think we burnt quite a lot of calories laughing, hopes the other passengers on the plane were not bothered by us.

One stupid thing about me. I brought my heels, only my heels...and need to wear it the whole day! In the end it was so painful until I decided to go barefoot except during seminar. I really did! I barefooted all the way down when we were getting a cab from the hotel. And also at Senai airport~ :P

I shall bring my flats next time. It's a happy day! And Bran's on the way back! It's so magical to know that we were at the same sky for one hour!! :D

I Love my Roomie.

I have a good friend. Someone who shares quite a same fate as me. I'm so thankful to God that she's been placed as my roomie throughout my 4 years of uni life. I like it when we talked throughout the whole night about things which only happen to us. And it's comforting when you have someone to ponder with you:

"Why others can have such a happy perfect family, yet this happens to me?"

I thank God for placing her as my roomie, someone who can share and talk with me, someone who really knows how I am feeling on what I am going through, because we both went through together. Apart from another 2 friends of mine who have similar experience, however, in uni, there's no one else who knows better how it feels like, no one else who knows how much tears were shed, except her.

I am also grateful for her to be my roomie, she takes care of me even though she's younger than me by one year. Knowing that I'm very busy, she reminds me about assignments and checks out whether I have hand in or not. Knowing that I usually sleep late and will wake up late, she will wake me up to class if I am still in bed. Knowing that I like to have some afternoon naps, she will pester me to wake up to go for the next class. Knowing that I have lesser time to study, she always give me tips and pin point which section is important to read up. She watches out for me. She's just a lovely person. She will still attend to me when I asked questions and she's busy. She will straight away help me out. :) She still treats me well although the playful me always frightened her.

The Lord knew that I needed someone like her, and so He placed her to be my roomie throughout this whole 4 years. Although we will graduate, go on separate ways, she will always be someone dearly treasured by me.

I AM STILL ALIVE

Hi dear all.

Just a short note.

In case you wonder where am I and why's my blog so dead.

I'm still alive. and very busy.

I hope I have a long moment to relax and do stuffs which are simply enjoyable!

The Answer to Why I Swim Often But Still Fat

One thing swimming is not good for is losing a lot of weight. The on-line Merck Manual explains that swimming is not the best way to lose weight due to the cooling effects of being in the water. While you do use a lot of calories swimming, once you get out of the pool much of that calorie burning stops. Doing land based exercise like running or cycling may use about the same amount of calorie per hour as swimming, but once you stop exercising the land-based workout usually leads to continued increase in calorie use for as long as 18 hours after the workout. Why? Because when you are in the pool you don't heat up as much as you do on land, and your body does not have to work to cool you down as much once the exercise session concludes. Swimming does exercise almost the entire body - heart, lungs, and muscles - with very little joint strain. It is great for general fitness, just not a great way to drop excess pounds.

No wonder.
Now I know why~~~~

One Wish

If I have one wish, I would wish that I'm just a kid, never growing up. Bring me to the land of Peter Pan.

A kid, always cheerful and innocent, doing things she likes. She goes to school, plays with her friends, and perhaps have fun and the playground too during evenings.

She'll read bedtime stories before bed, and then drink a hot milo, and sleeps.

She can play her piano, go for her art classes, listen to music she loves, watch her favourite movies, read her favourite books, stare at the sky...gaze at the clouds.

When she's free she'll hop over to her best friend's house, maybe play some games, or just laugh together.

Sundays she'll go to sunday school, sing along children praises, and have fun learning the bible with pictures.

Weekends she'll travel around with her family, sitting happily inside the car with her plush toy.

She'll have no worries, no fears, no challenges, no stress, no problems, just her with her simple happy world.

People say without challenges, experiences, problems and all, you will never grow up. That's the point. Why must I need that? My wish is to turn back time and freeze it when I'm a kid, never growing up.

A wish which will never ever come true. Unless fairy tales are for real.

What's There To Fight?

At times when things must not be like this
At times when you know who's the one worth being appreciated
At times when you can't stand the one who takes all the credit for another person's effort
At times when people claim as if it's so
At times when you simply just know the truth... but you know it's useless making a stand to someone who will never understand.

So what's there to fight?

And at times you ask the Lord why this happen to you, why must things be complicated and never once cleared off. Why the righteous have to suffer and the arrogant can do everything in his way?

The only thing you can do, is to pray.

And at times like this, you know that this is the test of life, your faith in Him. For nothing is impossible in Him. When you withstand this test, you'll grow stronger in life, for the roots built within you will make you bear good fruits.

So, what's there to fight?

Entering The 3rd Day

I started off yesterday.
I'm still good today.
I'm entering the 3rd day of this ten days test of determination from those temptations which always make me fall.

I can do it~

Am I A Perfectionist & a Risk Taker?

Today I found out something. Well, it's not a new found thing, it's sort of a confirmation of myself, of my personality.

I think I'm a perfectionist when it comes to doing things I love, or doing things I am responsible for. For simple things, I can polish it up for hours. Like a poster, or just an article, or whatever I do which I like to, I'll make sure it's good. For projects, I don't want it to be just ordinary. Even if it's ordinary, I want to integrate something special in it, something people will remember even when they left, even when they forgot most of the thing, they will remember that special thing.

These few days, for just a simple internship report, I can polish it over and over again, playing with more designs and making it my own organisation format. Then I thought it was too flamboyant and I don't want to pay so much cost for the printing of colours, I simplified it a little.

There's no rule of how the exact report format should be, so I created my own format; which I don't know whether is it allowed or not, having such a format for a report. Later on because it's a little flamboyant and I'm afraid the lecturer would be too traditional who sticks to the typical serious report format, and scrutinize my report, I decided not to take too high risk, I'll pull back some colours. But, it's still a risk I'm taking.

Yet I don't care to convert it back to those normal report I did. I want to have some fun, and let's see what will come out with it. And my report reflects on what my internship company taught me, to be creative, so what can the lecturers comment? I don't dare to stress all my creative juice in it though, or else it'll turned out to be a presentation instead.

Sometimes it's just fun to create your own things, with your own ideas, and not sticking to the norm and doing it the usual way. :D But of course, you still need to abide to certain rules.

Well, my report is not totally out of the way anyway. But if they deducted marks just because of how I present it in such a way, I just have to say that they can't accept such format, and for such people I can't give them such format as well.

Just like Thomas Edison, he failed 999 times, but he found out 999 ways which will NOT create a light bulb.

Something Bad Brandon and Rue Did Last Winter

Around January, Bran and Rue found out this cool place which was still under construction, but nearly to completion. As usual, the adventurous Rue wanted to explore the hotel. So yeah, they really did curi curi masuk, even entered to some still under construction restaurants, and get to get up to the top of the tower~ *clap clap*

Snapped a lot of pictures.
This is what you see above the tower, that's the restaurant below.

Er, Rue look a bit different back then. She can see the beds across the rooms.
The ladies were pulling over the spreads to prepare everything.

So yeah, that was some little naughty things Brandon n Rue did in a not operating hotel yet.

So what hotel is it lah???

***

Just so happen I passed by last night when I was rounding Putrajaya with my relatives, PULLMAN at night is SO DENG BEAUTIFUL~~~~~~~~~~~~

This international branch hotel is operating now :)

Pullman Lakeside Hotel

Above was the restaurant which we went it when it's still under construction.
That time it is almost the same as how it looks like in the picture already, just still some dust and plastics over the floor.

Being happily present in an empty, oh-so-cool-top-notch restaurant, I jumped here and there that time. Hahahaha. There's a part where the floor was covered with glass with red pebble stones below it, I remember...

The room, of course, I didn't get into this.

Service apartment

Living room

Deluxe room, See how cute the comforters, pillows and beds are~~ :)

Facing the lake~

If you aren't rich enough to go overseas, or to go on vacation, or you are on a tight schedule, I think a night stay here would be great to relax and enjoy.

Take a look at this:

Yeap, having a wedding there is superb~
Those who plans to marry...quickly go over since they are having a promotional package now~

Relevance Relevance Relevance

All you think about it's your point of relevance. It's not relevant to your course, it's not relevant to your degree, blablabla..don't waste time...blablabla....not much weightage to your CV..blablabla....

That's your point of relevance.

It's relevant to my life so be it. You can't see the things I see, why brag as if you know everything. Just because you had accomplished something great, it doesn't mean you are great now and can judge whatever my decision is. Stop living in the past but strive for the present and please accept that things do change, the way people work, the way things flow, changes..it's not the same any more like how it was a few decades ago.

There are so many things to experience and why must everything of it be relevant to the career you are choosing?

And I don't think that there is anything which is not relevant at all.

No matter how, whatever positive initiatives you take will be relevant in terms of experience and your self-potential to whatever you do.

It's what which builds you up, not what which builds your career which is important. If you don't have a good you, how do you expect to be qualified for a good career?

Of course it's important to do something which is relevant to your course better than not to, but it doesn't rule out the opportunity for you to involve in different things which can expose you to more ideas, more different POV which actually helps generate a better you in that field you are working in the future.

Now you tell me what is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo important about the relevance to a degree, leading to a career which many people always do something irrelevant to their degree, and complaints about their own career and regretting for things they have not done.

You are not wrong. I am not wrong. I thank for your advise. I have to just conclude that we have different perspectives.
