I'm referring to the bully case that happened recently. I really pity the victim for being bulied by her classmates. At the same time, the way she's being bullied is totally inconsiderate. How could her friends bully her just like that? Did she do anything wrong or offended them that she deserve such a ordeal?
Certainly, the bully case has caused outrage from many people. The nation wouldn't have come across such a case if the video clip has not been circulated. I am in a total shock upon discovering such an act which I deem as inhumane. How could her friends treat the girl like that? I really don't understand. Perhaps there is conflict between them, but they shouldn't have bullied her.
Now the 4 students is paying the price for what they've done. They all are suspended from school for 14 days. I'm not sure if this is an ideal punishment for them, but I think they ought to be punished even more severely for causing trauma to the victim.
There is a follow-up story saying the students have apologised to the victim for doing such a thing to her. I'm not sure if the girl would be willing to accept their apology, but even if she does, she'll never forget for the rest of her life that they've traumatised her before.
I seriously hope that this would not happen anymore. Speaking the truth, I have never bullied any of my friends before. Neither have I been bullied before.

Another first time
Wow... I have another first-time experience in my life: being a secretary.
Yup, u heard that right. I become the secretary of a meeting, taking down minutes of what's going on during the meeting. It is actually one of my assignments this semester which is documentation of meetings. And this assignment is to be done in groups of 3 or 4.
I am in the same group with Eugene and Monica. And we're given the topic on Writing in Workplace. We discussed about our roles and it is supposed that Monica will be the secretary while GG and I are the ones presenting on our topic. But, I volunteer myself to be the secretary as I want to get experience of fitting in the shoes of a secretary. Both my group mates accepted my suggestion.
I worked on the memo of the meeting and first sent to Eugene for him to check if there's any problems. He said no problem after reviewing it and gave me the green light to send out the memo to the rest of my coursemates, which I did on the day I received his approval.
Our meeting is held during the Prof Writing lecture and it is a great one. Eugene and Monica present on their respective sections while I take note of the flow of the meeting and take down relevant notes. During the meeting, what I notice is that Eugene, as the President of our company Coveright Surfaces (M) Sdn Bhd, interacts well with the employees by asking them questions. Then he passes the time over to Monica for her section, followed by Q & A session. Meeting's over when there are no more questions from the floor.
(By the way, Eugene isn't the one who comes out of the name of our company, I do. He says it doesn't matter anyway, so I just simply choose one name for our company since I'm sending out the memo to my fellow classmates few days before the meeting.)
It is indeed a great experience for myself taking on the role of a secretary for the first time in my life. I don't have the chance to be appointed to the post in any of the clubs and socieities that I've joined both in secondary schools and also here in Utar. Since this is a golden opportunity, I just grab it and get some experience.
And no doubt, the post of a secretary is usually taken up by females. But this is not true all the time. Imagine a society or club which have only members of the male gender, who's gonna be the secretary in this case? Take for examples, the societies or clubs in my alma mater SMJK Sam Tet which is a school for boys. Girls can be spotted around the school but with only a small number of students. If that's the case, who's gonna be secretaries in situations like this? There aren't no girls to fit in those roles in this case (if you leave out those pursuing Form 6 in the school). So boys have to step in to take up the challenges.
Well, as for my case, I don't really have to be one cause Monica is in our group and she can handle that. But I dare to be different by choosing to be the secretary to break the chain of having all females as secretaries for this assignment as the rest of the groups are all females except ours. Another reason is that I find Monica is better at talking than writing while I'm the other way around. She managed to speak well in all her previous presentations as far as I notice, whereas for myself, sometimes I tend to get stuck when I'm unable to find the right words to get the meassge across. But if I'm well-prepared, I wouldn't face such a problem in most cases. As for writing, Monica's language is quite understandable but she needs to improve on her language as sometimes I don't really get the meaning of what she's writing. As for myself, I find that my language skills and vocabulary is quite good (not boasting here). So I think it's better for me to use my advantage to the fullest in this situation.

EL Pre-Graduation Photoshoot
My fellow lovely classmates (clad in traditional attire) in their pre-graduation photoshoot. But where is me?U would be wondering where am I. Well, speaking the truth, I am supposed to be with them but sadly, I'm not. The reason is because I've taken a break from my studies last year due to some personal reasons. I really wish that I could be with them and graduate together with them but my wish ain't gonna happen as I've just resumed my studies in Y3S1 while they're in the final semester (and they'll be handing in their hard-bound and comb-bound project soon).
Anyway, it's indeed my pleasure to accompany them along the journey from the very first semester in May 2008 until now. We have great time studying and having fellowship together. It is indeed a great honour to be in this wonderful and wacky EL group. Through thick and thin, we managed to overcome challenges and obstacles we face during our pursuit of a degree in English Language.
Thank you, Eugene & the 28 lovely girls! Meeting all 29 of u is indeed a blessing for myself as u all have different personalities of your own. Although we'll parting our separate ways after this semester, let's not forget our friendships with one another after graduation, even though I won't be graduating with u all.
I sincerely wish all 29 of u a happy graduation after this semester and all the best in all your future endeavours. Let's hope that we'll be able to meet up (and have gatherings if possible) again in the future. U're all about to finish this chapter of life and getting ready to move into another chapter of your lives. Hope u all have a bright future ahead & may God bless each and everyone of u! And Happy Graduation!
As for myself, if everything goes smoothly, I'll be graduating together with Daryl's batch in March 2012 (i.e one semester later than Eugene's group who will be having their convocation in August 2011). All I need to do now is to concentrate on my current semester and think about graduation (cos my turn will come) and career later. And for now, I'll be focusing on all my assignments this semester and also my FYP (which I've submitted my proposal few days ago).

Boundaries
Inevtiably, boundaries exist in our life and we have to live by them. We are bounded in everything in our lives, from young until old. Ever since we were born, we were first bounded to our own baby cots and play pens. As we grow older, new sets of boundaries appear and we have to abide in them. There are certain things that we can and cannot do as we live our lives on this earth. Having boundaries means that there are limitations in our lives and we should not cross over those boundaries at all times.
Some people may think that boundaries are not good to them. But wait, look at the bright side. It actually helps a lot in living your life. We have to know our boundaries so that we know where we are going. Of course, first we need to set our own boundaries and live within them. Sometimes we may tend to step out of those boundaries as we feel uneasy about their existence. But it's best that we stick to those boundaries so that our lives won't go haywire.
If we have ever cross over boundaries, what we can do is that we can repair those boundaries that we have trampled over. Although boundaries slow down our progress in life, at least we can do things one step at a time and achieve our goals or reach our destinations one day, rather than getting what we want without even realising our boundaries. One very good example from the Bible was Samson. He has a good future lying ahead of him, but it was all destroyed because he has crossed over his boundaries by wanting to have Delilah, a Philistine, as his wife. In the end, he paid the price with his life after he told Delilah the secret of his strength and the Philistines captured him after Delilah shaved his head bald.

9-Year-Old Penang Girl Gives Birth???
Oh my goodness!! Did I hear it wrongly or did it really happen?Apparently, it is a reality that this 9-year-old Penangite girl has become Malaysia's youngest mother by giving birth to a baby boy recently. The father of the child was her 14-year-old neighbour. But the girl's parents did not lodge a police report. I couldn't believe such thing could happen in our lovely country.
Teenage pregnancies are happening all around the world and this is quite alarming. Even in the country itself, teenage pregnancies happen among the teens. But I was totally surprised that child pregnancy like above would set its foot into Malaysia. This is nothing to be proud of, it's just another case of teenage pregnancy. Girls in today's society tend to reach their puberty earlier than they're supposed to be, around the age of 8 or 9.
Whle this girl becomes Malaysia's youngest mother, the world's youngest mother was Peruvian Lina Medina who gave birth when she was 5 years and 7 months. She entered puberty at 5 and experienced extraordinary development of her body which later she has a bulging stomach. Assuming that she has a tumour, Lina's parents brought her to a hospital for a medical check-up and discovered that Lina was already having a 7-month pregnancy. The 5-year-old delivered a baby boy named Gerardo on May 14, 1939 by Caesaran section. Lina's father was acquitted of child sexual abuse due to lack of evidence and the identity of the one who impregnated Lina was still remain a mystery.
I seriously hope that such case would not happen to my daughters when I have my own family and children in the future.

Mixed feelings
I dunno how to describe my feelings today... somehow, my feelings changed a few times within one day
First, I felt happy and relieved that I've finally hand in my Morphy asgnmt.. glad that I'm able to finish on time.. actually, Mr Wong has given the asgnmt in the beginning of the semester.. somehow, I'm busy with other asgnmts as well.. so delay the time to do the asgnmt.. but Mr Wong was kind, he extended the deadline twice.. I began working on the asgnmt only last week & managed to get it done during the weekends.. then I showed Mr Wong my asgnmt twice.. once on Monday, another yesterday.. i made the necessary changes and included the introduction and conclusion as well as table of content.. juz now, during Mr Wong's tutorial, I happily handed in my completed asgnmt & satisfied with my work.
Later, my mock newspaper grp members told me that I need to reduce the number of news I'm writing cos there isn't sufficient space to fit in all my news.. haiz.. dunno wat to do at that time.. gotta decide which news I have to sacrifice.. I have 7 pieces of news in my hand.. 4 hard, 3 soft.. the 4 hard news were funfair, ELS exhibition week, Campus Overcomer Seminar & CF evangelistics meeting (EM).. I've finished writing all the hard news yesterday, going to do the soft news ASAP.. 2 of the 3 soft news were movie reviews on Night at the Museum 1 & 2, while the other one is on how to manage stress and to set goals in life..I've decided to keep all the hard news, figuring out what to do with the soft ones.. Later I gave up on the movie reviews cos I thought they're gonna be lengthy.. the one on CF EM was jus being described as a brief..
Actualy, all the mock newspaper grp had to present the design & layout of their newspaper during tutorial..there were 6 grps in total, 2 grps of 4's, 5's & 6's each.. 4 grps presented in the morning session.. left with 2 more grps.. my grp of 5 (Steffy, Pui Chee, JL, Monics & me) & Eugene's grp of 6 (Winna, Pei Ching, Bee Ling, Kim Yun, Marigold & Gene himself).. the designs & layouts of both mock newspapers (The Voice-my grp & MGPress-Gene's grp) were equally good.. jus that there were areas to be improved..
Feel much relieved after the long day.. at least I've handed in my morphy asgnmt & done the presentation for the mock newspaper.. but as for those unpublished news of mine, I'll keep them as a memory esp. the one on EM cos this news can only be reported by me or Renjie as we're the only ones who attended the meeting.. but since RJ not gonna write the news, I did it although the news cannot be fully published in The Voice due to insufficient space.. but at least I'm satsfied with my works..
There's bad news.. the bar list is out already.. but good news for me cos I'm not barred.. from wat I've heard, only Rajina's name appeared.. strange, I thought she's deferred, how come her name is in the bar list.. not sure why, but as long as I'm eligible to sit for the final exam, I'm fine with it
Moral presentation tmr morning, but my grp have presented last week.. so juz go have a look on how the remaining 6 grps (3 from AV, 3 from EL-Ann's grp, Winna's grp and Hannah's grp).. all the best ya, ppl
What's in store for the remaining 2 week.. mock newspaper due next Tues.. psycho quiz 3 on Tues, presentation not sure when (to be informed by Mr Renu).. AW asgnmt 2 due week 14..then study week.. last but not least, final exam (22 days away from my first paper)... after final exam, go camping.. but still haven't decide which one to go yet.. both camps take place simultaneously at different venues.. CGBC The Amazing Race Campus Camp Edition 2009 (30 Sept-2 Oct, Kem Sentosa, Chenderiang, camp fees RM70, Rm10 rebate if register before 27 Aug) VS UTARCF We Are One Camp 2009 (30 Sept-3 Oct, Peacehaven Retreat Centre, Gentng Highlands, camp fees: members RM120, non-members RM130).. but I will choose the camp which benefits me more.. preferably the former.. got work to do, catch ya next time

Frustrated
What's going wrong with the computers in Internet Lab 1? Cannot do printing one? Tried more than 10 PCs also failed... Really frustrating
This morning, after Mr Renu's tutorial, I went to cafeteria to have breakfast. Then, I met with my seniors.. Hui Ching, Crystal, Ponneey, Arthur.. they're part of the newly-chosen ELS committee.. it looks like they're setting up a counter in the cafeteria.. curiously, I went to see what's going on.. it turned out that there's goona be a movie review next week (refer to my pervious post, ELS Movie Review)..actually, I wanted to go to Block B at that time to print out my essay (which I was supposed to do when I went out for dinner last night, but I forgot abt it).. nvr mind, juz lend them a helping hand.. it didn't take much time to do the task anyway.. around 11am, I left for Block B to do the printing
When I got to Internet Lab 1, there's a number of computers that were vacant, Great! So I randomly chose one of them.. insert my pendrive.. opened the files.. and tried to print the essay and references. Error! No printer connected.. Damn.. I left the computer and went to another one... same problem happened. Went to another computer.. no printer connected again.. this happened a few times dy.. I was frustrated at that time.. tried more than 10 PCs also cannot get the job done.. not only no printer connected, there is one or two PCs which says unrecognised USB drive when I plugged in my pendrive.. there is even one computer which required the admin staff to log in to install the device.. u can guess how I felt at that moment.. but nvr mind, there are other labs.. so I went to B202, another Internet lab.. again, I chose one of the PCs and did the necessary procedures.AAAHHH! Finally, I was able to print out the essay and the references. Happily, I left and went ot Cafeteria for my lunch.
I wonder why there are problems with the computers in Internet Lab 1.. previously, it was closed temporarily for maintenance.. there shud be no problems after the maintenance.. but what happened today didn't meet my expectation. I hope ICTC Dept will get this fixed ASAP, though I didn't inform the dept abt the printing problem.

Rainy days on tuesdays
I wonder why recently it always rains in Kampar esp. on Tuesdays, not any other days
For the past few weeks, it has been raining on Tuesdays... this really made me feel frustrated every time I wanna attend CF weekly meeting at Wesley Methdist Church (WMC) from 8-10pm
On the previous day (Tues), my lecture class was supposed to finish at 5.30pm.. but the lecturer has finished what he taught that day, so he allowed us to leave
Everyone started heading home & while on my way to get my bike, it was drizzling
Haiz.. it's raining AGAIN & I predicted that it would be raining heavier.. by the time i got home, as I expected, the rain became a heavy downpour
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! How to attend CF meeting if it rained so heavily... I prayed & hoped that the rain would be smaller
Around 7 sumthing, the rain wasn't as heavy as b4.. so I headed out 4 have dinner. While I was enjoying my dinner, the rain was slightly heavier but it din affect much either & I've arrived safely at WMC around 8.15pm.
The CF meeting took place as usual with Eric Ong leading the worship.. later all the CF members went into a bible study session in their respective CGs.. later Mr K did some sharing b4 the meeting was over & we also prayed to God that there will be no rain next Tuesday cos what's in store 4 the CF members next week is a talk on Apologetics by Dr Herbert Tan.. woohoo!
But sumthing strange always happens... the rain has stopped b4 the meeting came to an end.. not onli yesterday, but the previous few weeks as well
Wonder if God is showering His blessings unto us whenever we have CF every week or is He testing our passion for Him? I really have no idea abt this.
