Hi guys, it's CK and I am back here to blog about my dearly loved college, KDU college Penang. First of all, I have to say I see changes. They, the changes may be too little too late, but at least I see hope in them and "them" refers to the school of business. Surprised? I know you guys don't expect me to write something nice about KDU; come one... I have be going against the college, cursing and swearing about them ever since this blog was started??? Well, things are getting positive lately. With the employment of Dr Kow (pronounced as "cow" and I hope I got his last name right), it seems as if there is compassion and a certain degree of sympathy in him that makes him seem honest in helping the students.

Anyway, I welcome Dr. Kow on board KDU college Penang. Dr., I hope you make changes to the college, and positive changes ... before it falls apart. If the college falls apart, the failure is definitely contributed by and without a doubt, the main culprit or culprits are crossed-eyed Mango and fat-ass Nee Nee. I gotta say, I do hate the college now... for making me resit or re-attempt the company law exam paper. Come on, what's the past is the past. The results were posted in KCN (ya rite, crossed-eyed Mango claims that there was a technical error) as if we care. If the paper was leaked out (that is what they claim), why can't you guys just use the set B? Why must the college re-hire a new lecturer (Saravanan) and ask the fellow to re-set a new copy of exam for us? I am going to be very irresponsible now and push the blame to the college; IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THAT THE PAPER WAS LEAKED OUT, SO DON'T PENALISE EVERYONE.

Sticking back to the same topic company law, the new lecturer (Saravanan) is not bad actually, in fact very good. I am not joking here. I have been to countless lectures presented by various lecturers (okay, maybe not that many lectures), judging by how he performed today, it's pretty amazing how he manage to pull off what seemed to be an impossible task, to prepare us for the re-sit exam paper this coming Thursday. 3 hours, an hour more than the expected 2 but still, I will give him the credit. Kudos Mr. Saravanan. It's such a shame I didn't have the opportunity to learn company law from you.

It's been quite a good week actually. There is no better way to start a semester than this, minus the company law case; LOL. Like I have said, I am starting see changes in college and I welcome them. It's just my lost that I am graduating soon and taking into consideration my previous encounters with the college, I have vowed not to continue my degree in KDU no more. By the way, the data communication lecturer (Guru, that is how he wants us to address him) is good too. Anyone that disagree with me can bombard my blog anytime. For the meantime, let us give KDU the benefit of the doubt. One step at a time... that is what they all say.

Before I end this post, allow me to confess... I LOVE PINK... PINKY PINKY...wahahaha... a few friends should know what I am talking about...

Hmm... life for the past week was really quiet and dull. A few of my lucky friends had actually went for their vacation while some had try to earn some extra cash by working and others were so busy living their lives that they didn't even had time to get online. Sigh... how much I wished for the new semester to start now but not for it to end. Silly me, right???

Hmm... maybe I had less friends that I thought I had. The numbers of phone calls I received 2 weeks ago compared to the numbers of phone calls I received now is a clear evident. A sudden drop of almost 80%. Now that is remarkable; LOL. Anyway, I think I had forgotten to mention that there was also an 80% increase 2 weeks ago compared to the weeks before. Hahaha... I guess we'll call it even.

Hmm... I went fishing again yesterday. One thing is for sure, the fishes are back from their holidays. Hahaha. Well, it was kinda hot yesterday and I am kinda "fried"; LOL. Nevertheless, the sea was pretty calm and that is a good thing. I had to say yesterday was somewhat a lucky day. A torn up net, but 5 threadfins??? If it's not luck, then what was it... Hehehe. Coming back home with a chill box half filled with threadfins (not empty handed this time...) it felt good.

Hmm... back to college related matters. If I am not mistaken, the registration date for the Jan 09 semester is on the 30th and 31st of December. That was the info I got from Cik Aini. If you are interested to know more or want to reconfirm the date, do call the college. For the Aug 08 semester results, I am not too sure but I do believe that you will get your result on the registration date itself. That's it for now... Best of luck to everyone...

It feels like ages since I last blog. Life is so busy nowadays. It's exam week and everyone is rushing about looking for tips and hints. Well, I got a complaint to make here. As if I don't have enough problem of my own, I still need to handle others' problem. Geez... I need a break. I need a vacation.

Exam weeks are often the ugliest week in college. Accusations are thrown blindly and a person's good image and reputation is tarnished. I pity one particular friend. Like she has said and explained to me, a promise is a promise. She kept to her promise, but keeping that promise meant that she would have to be selfish. Well, no one ever said the world is not a cruel place to be in. Survival of the fittest. You have to have your own initiative to do your "homework" or you will be left out. It is not right for you to blame anyone for not helping you...

Exam weeks are not exam weeks without arguments. People argue due to stress and burnout. You study and study and study, not realizing how much time you have spent studying yet nothing goes in. Then you get mad at every single thing. You get provoked by every small tiny matters. You start cursing people. People start cursing you back. Bam!!! You have an argument. Childish isn't it? You tell me-lah... Haiz...

Exam week is often the week that you see people lose weight and have black rings on their eyes. Burning the midnight oil and skipping meals just for the sake of covering every single subject, going through every single topic and subtopics. Is there a point? Well, it's difficult to say. I am not saying that last minute revision doesn't work. My point is that studying wasn't meant to be so difficult and demanding. Anyway, I rest my case, can't say much... Why? I am one of the victims too; LOL.

Tomorrow another paper, the next day two more papers. There goes one more semester, and there are two more sems to go. Holiday for a month, repeat A MONTH, 30 DAYS... What am I gonna do during the holidays??? Haiz...

Still am addicted to chinese songs. I guess there is no cure for it... Don't care la, not bothered anymore if I listen to chinese or english songs. Not related though, I AM THE ONLY PERSON/GUY IN PLANET EARTH THAT NEEDS A LIL' MORE CONFIDENCE TO SPEAK UP AND TELL HER WHAT I NEED TO TELL HER, AND THAT IS WHILE SHE IS STILL HERE. OR... I am gonna live my life filled with regrets...

Love all, trust a few, do harm to none - William Shakespeare. Do you believe in it? Do you agree with it? Well, whether you believe or agree with it or not, I certainly do. Two days ago, I lost one of the most valuable thing in my life and no, its not any of my family members (choi, touch keyboard; LOL) or my beloved friends. So, what is that most valuable thing? Hmm... my pencil case??? Yupz, it is my pencil case. If my memory serves me right, I have been using the same, dirty, blue colored pencil case for the past 5 years. Both me and the pencil case have gone through alot, PMR, SPM and every single final semester exam and I would say it's like a lucky charm to me.

So you are probably thinking why am I talking about my lost pencil case, and how is it going to make me believe and agree with what shakespeare had said. Hmm... today, I received a call from someone whom you least expect, the business school front desk administrator. To my surprise, I was expecting that I am again in deep shit and started to think what have I done to be called up by the college again. Hence, I rode my bike back to college (I have already reached home when the time I received that call) expecting a bad news from them. However, seems like I was being too imaginative, the admin people only needed my help in preparing some brochure and a short slide show for the upcoming talk regarding Keele University presented by Professor Peter Lawrence. By the way, if you are a yr 2 or 3 KDU diploma in business student, please attend the talk. Its November 13, at 11 am in lecture theatre 1.

So, as usual, it is pretty difficult for me to turn down anyone who ask help from me. After gaining all the information needed, I went to the library and started the "assignment" that was passed to me. Expecting nothing in return, I did ask the admin if they had seen my pencil case or not to which the reply was no, I receive another call from the admin people at approximately 3.30pm saying that they had found my pencil case. Wow, I was extremely happy. Hmm... thank you to that anonymous person from Murdoch (if I am not mistaken) for returning back the pencil case.

Was everything inside and most importantly, was my thumbdrive inside? YES. Not even a single pen or eraser went missing. However, what did broke my heart was that before that someone return the pencil case, I am not sure if it was him/her or his/her friends, someone "raped" my pencil case; LOL. Anyway, the damage is done, I have already bought a new pencil case which is even cuter, hahaha, so case close. I am happy now that I have recovered back my thumbdrive. This is a fine example of what shakespeare had said, love all, trust a few, do harm to none. I helped all, trust a few and do harm to none, to which I have receive good things back in return. Just like what they say in malay, "buat baik dibalas baik"; LOL.

The story later is not so good. I had promised someone to do something. Yet, because of me helping the admin people, I was held back until I was too late. Argh... not only I am late, in fact, I had to cancel the whole thing. Ish!!! I really hate myself. Sigh, why did it rain? Why did it rain during the most crucial time? Fate I guess. Haihz... luck was never on my side. Never... Hmm... I have got to think positively. I create my own fate. My fate lies in my hand. I decide what I want and what I hate. I am in control of my life...!!!

Last but not least, almost forgotten, I have got to congratulate my friend, Chia Mei. Hahaha... Chia Mei, if you are reading this, I congratulate you for finally Mr Sweetguy said something nice about you. Keep your faith alive. I shall be supporting you from behind. Hahahaha....

Yet another busy week... Assignment and more assignments... Presentations... Classroom activity... You name it and I have got to face it, this week and next week. So they say college life is fun, free and entertaining but I have got to say, it ain't fun this week. Sigh... such a simple subject of Academic English for Business has turned out to be so difficult.

More than 60 pages of journal to be read and a task to write a review on it for the sake of getting 5 marks??? Where is justice??? My seniors don't have to do it. So why is it compulsory now? "It's all for your own good, to prepare you for degree courses", that is the typical response you get from Ms Florence when you ask her. Well, we all know that her intention is good, the outcome is very likely to be positive but please be a little considerate considering we are not only taking your subject. Have you forgotten? Let me refresh your memory, we still have Operations Management, Management of Human Resource, Services Marketing and Company Law.

Anyway, enough talking about college life. Let's talk about what have I been doing lately. Hmm... errr... nothing? LOL. Life is so dull. I am so bored at home. I am either at college or at work. Life is no fun. Sigh... Dad is back to work and there goes all the fishing time. Someone, anyone... if you are reading this, if you are free sometimes, do call me out... Argh!!! I am rotting at home.

I think I am getting crazy, probably mad. Its been like 5 months or so. Kawasaki... ARE YOU CHEATING ME? Don't fool with me. I am getting more pissed off as the days gone by. I am now considering any bikes, KTM, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha even Harley Davidson... Hahahaha... I know I won't be able to afford any of the bikes, but who cares... If its fine with dad, it's certainly fine with me. Beggars can't be choosers. Quick... get me my bike. By the way, if its not too much to ask for, the Z750 looks perfect too; LOL.

Wrong timing, bad luck, fate. For the mean time, let's hope I will get my bike soon. Now, its back to the 60 pages journal for this Friday's class. Wish me luck...

Life just kicks in into a very fast pace. Time flies and I am starting to feel that my method of measuring time and due dates using hours and minutes are not working anymore. Argh!!! I am getting crazy... FOUR college assignment (including presentation) to be handed in by next week. Hmm... just great. Thankfully, I am done with 3 of the assignments. Hehehe... so I am not gonna complain.

Company Law. I think I have fallen in love with it. Company Law is just so interesting, and I enjoy reading the notes. Now, you guys may say I am crazy; but I can't explain it either. Somehow, there is this feeling of regret deep inside me. I start to look back in the past when I was still in F5, I could still remember that a few of my teachers had actually encouraged me to take up law after secondary school. Did I take their advice seriously? NOPE. I start to wonder where would I be now if I had taken up law...

Another surprise for me. AMAZINGLY, I did quite "okay" for my AE2 mid term test. Hell, I thought I was going to flunk the test badly since I only knew how to answer part of the paper but 74/100, I am happy and contented with it since I was only expecting to get 50++. This is a fine example for you guys out there. Think POSITIVELY and OPTIMISTICALLY. Don't be like me, I always love to think negatively; LOL. Always keep in mind that it's not OVER until it's REALLY over.

One of my friend recently fell sick. Sigh... it is such a bad news for me. I hope she will recover soon (I think she is okay ade). Don't overwork yourself, don't skip meals... it's unhealthy. Take care of your health as no one is gonna do it for you. Apologies for being such a nag; LOL. Just take my advice and stop being so STUBBORN, okay???

Alright, that's it for now. Sorry for ending so abruptly. Back to my assignments. ONE MORE TO GO.....

Hello everyone... I am extremely happy today. The reason is because people around me are happy. Being surrounded by positive people really made me realize that we must think positively and optimistically. Hmm... assignments are building up but somehow, I couldn't be bothered about them. Anyway, there is still a very long period of time before the due date so enjoy now, suffer later? Who cares; LOL.

Hmm... someone gave me a pleasant surprise yesterday. The Management of Human Resource lecture is somehow getting ... interesting. I love the lecturer's new approach of showing us that video. Let's hope the positive trend continue... Finally the business club is getting active again. Though i am not involved in it anymore, at least my friends get to participate. Yea... some of them are leaving soon, it will be great if they can get some good testimonials from the new club advisor, Theresa.

I was logging in to my friendster page and I notice this bulletin posted by one my friend titled "100 truths about me". Hmm.. sounds interesting to me so I checked it out. It was kinda funny. Some questions are stupid; LOL. Here are some examples (not all 100 questions la...) about me...

Are you perfect?
What is perfect??? No one is perfect and that includes me.

Do you have anything bothering you?
Yes. Its been like 4 months or so.

Are you a friendly person?
Errr... I think so. But sometimes, i am anti-social. LOL

Where did you sleep last night?
Idiot, I slept in my room la...
(following question)
Why did you sleep there?
If I am not sleeping in my room, then where am I suppose to sleep? TOILET???

Are you missing someone?
Hmm... I would be lying if I say NO. "Nothing occupies my mind except the thoughts of you"

Are you single?
Sadly, yes... I am single.

Are you smart?
Stupid people ask this kinda question. Foolish people answer such question. I refuse to answer.

Final 2 questions require you to answer truthfully.
DO YOU LIKE SOMEONE?
YES, I DO.

ARE YOU SERIOUSLY HAPPY WITH WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE NOW?
NOPE. Life is full of endless possibilities. I may not be happy, but I am contented.

Update on Operation Management lecture. So a week has past, did the lecture improved? Err... NOPE. I don't know why. Maybe it will never improve. I still haven't go to the office to create havoc yet. I am being very patient. Will it improve after i create havoc? I doubt it. So i better close this case. Guess it's bad luck for me this semester...

Guess who I bump into today? Mr Foo... (with his wife). I met him at a Shell petrol station. There was no time so I didn't have a long chat with that guy but i have to say, gosh... his wife is really pretty. Okay, he doesn't need to know that. Hahaha. What was I thinking? I shouldn't blog about this. Shouldn't be looking at other girls or people's wife; LOL. My mind is only a place for one girl and you guys don't have to know who. Mind you own business...

Lately, i have been listening to a lot of songs but i just love Gravity by John Mayer and The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script. The intro part of Gravity, wow... i just love the way John plays his guitar and sings the first line, "Gravity, is working against me". The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script is just so meaningful, bout the guy who's waiting for a girl to come and meet him. Here are the videos... Enjoy!!!

Gravity performed by John Mayer live at Abbey Road studio



The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script

It seems as if i hate a lot of things lately. Does anyone know what is causing this??? Please tell me.

I don't wanna live my life hating people or SERVICES but every single thing just pisses me off. I am not asking you guys to stay far way from me okay??? I am not anti-social. Maybe i am very fussy and more critical compared to my peers. For starters, its gonna be my favorite college, KDU.

So how did KDU pissed me off this time? You guys know how much i love sleeping rite... But KDU is against it. Can't they just call up and inform the students that the lecturer has fallen sick and wouldn't be able to lecture? Well that was the case. Ms. Florence was sick and couldn't lecture for A.E 2 but no one called any of the students to inform them. Pity my friends who came all the way from BM. Pity myself for waking up so early; ARGH!!! Nonetheless, i am not gonna blame Ms. Florence or the college. Blame myself for being so hot-tempered, and telling myself that it happened kinda sudden without any notice.

The next thing that pisses me off is STREAMYX... I hate streamyx. I extremely hate streamyx. I just can't stop from hating streamyx. Why is the connection soooooo bad? It is not only slow, but i just couldn't get online, browse the Internet or chat thru MSN. I will just get disconnected any second. Sigh... I (my mum) still have to pay RM88 every month. Too bad i am not Mr Lee Moh Chun cause if i am him, i will call up TM and give them a long lecture on improving their services and retaining customers; LOL. STREAMYX, this is the last chance for you. IMPROVE now... or i will switch to another ISP.

A picture speaks a thousand words. =D

Haihz... Things are certainly not going my way lately. I don't feel like talking about hatred anymore. I don't wanna be perceived as a negative guy; LOL. Meanwhile, let's hope things will get better for me...
