2 weeks gone, 5 more weeks to go!!
On Mon, I received news that there isn't any Japanese tutorials as our previous tutor isn't eligible to teach anymore. So both classes cancelled and postponed to Sat. I was happy cos there's only 2 days which I have classes. But bad news y'day.. we're using the original timetable again. Oh man!! Back to 4 days again. Supposed there's a quiz this week during tutorial, but with both classes cancelled, not sure when's the test gonna take place. Blessing in disguise!! I haven't fully memorising the Hiragana & Katakana characters yet cos most of the time I wasted on online stuff. Sigh.. myself to blame.. didn't use the time available wisely.
On Tues, Eric Ong made several ammouncements.. one on Apple Tart + Muffin Bake N Make, another on the Mooncake Festival (which happened y'day). I've offered to help in both the events, confirmed I'll be in Utar for Mid-Autumn celebration but unsure whether wanna go 4 the Bake N Make. Reason is it's on Thu night and usually I go to CGBC for service every week. So I asked for some advice & prayed to God as well. In the end, I decided to put God as my top priority. Hee.. happily I went for church service.
On Wed, Spelling Bee competition. Not much to comment though cos I wasn't there at all. Wanted to go but it's raining heavily outside. Anyway, heard that those participated had fun despite they didn't win.
As for Fri, no classes for me but I went to Utar to help out at the CF booth during the Mooncake Festival celebration. Enjoyable & entertaining I can say... lots of preformances, food and drinks.. most of the booths run by several clubs & societies close shop around 9.30pm cos the items they're selling were being sapu-ed away very fast (CF being the fastest as far I can notice). God blessed the event indeed, it was raining heavily while the celebration's on. The event ends around 10.30pm.
Today, we continue learning Japanese. But there's a change of venue and lecturer for us EL students. Previously we're under Mr Naha & his classes at DDK5, then we're told to switch to DDK4 and our new lecturer is Ms Chong. She teaches better, I can say. Oh, previously I was in the same class as Yik Kuan & Vivien, now with the switch, I'm in the same class together with Amelia & Isabelle instead.
Ok, gotta go now. Need to familiarise myself with the Japanese characters. I can rmb those Hiragana characters but not so well yet. As for Katakana, it looks a little simpler than Hiragana but still I need to get them into my head as I proceed learning Japanese.

Fun转中秋夜
Cute little pink bunny Had lots of fun during Utar's Mid-Autumn Festival celebration... wow, it's entertaining and enjoyable.
Lots of food, perfomances... it's simply amazing.. the event is organised by several clubs & societies namely Accounting Society, Chinese Language Society, Christian Fellowship Society, English Language Society, International Friendship Society, Chinese Orchestra Unit, Entreprenuership Society.
Except for the orchestra, the other societies set up stalls in the Cafeteria, selling varieties of food and drinks. All the items are purchased using coupons. There's one stall selling these coupons for RM5/booklet, lanterns and mineral water.
The event begins at 7.30pm and lots of students are seen moving from one stall to another to buy food. I helped out at the CF booth at first, but all the apple tarts & banana muffins made the previous night were sold out b4 9pm. So laku!! Other stalls also tutup kedai early too cos the items they promote finished off very fast. Then, I helped out at the ELS booth, helping out to sell chrysanthemum tea (other items like curry & kaya puffs, doughnuts & sambal buns habis also).
Lots of interesting & entertaining performances during the event.. it started off with the Chinese Orchestra, then wushu, belly dance etc.. the last performance is from the Chinese CF.. Vincent Ling led two girls to sing some hymns.. before they begin, all the CF members prayed together.. the MCs of the event ends tonite's celebration & everyone start balik rumah masing-masing. And I praise the Lord for gracing the celebration with His showers of blessings.
Editor's Note: There isn't any photos to show for this exciting event.

Short-lived joy
Haiz... back to 4 days of classes again!!
Originally all Japanese lectures & tutorials fall on Sat only.. now change back to the original timetable i.e tutorials on Mon & Wed from 6.00-7.30pm and lectures from 8-10am & 10.30-12.30am on Sat. What abt the quiz supposed to take place this week? Had to be postponed, no choice. Gotta find replacement. Sigh!!

Life goes on...
Another long day gone just like that... no need to go for classes for next 3 days, but I'll be spending my time doing the necessaries.
Today, while on the way to school, I am stopped by the security guard. He says my motorbike sticker cannot be used cos expired. So I have to U-turn balik to get my bicycle. Then after the first lecture, I cycle home to get my motorbike sticker and rushed back to school. Go DSA to change for a new one but I tell the officer-in-charge I've applied online too. Silly me! My sticker was applied on yearly basis in Jan semester. So it's a waste!
Went home. Relax a while then go Ghany for dinner with Calvin & the gang. Then CF meeting!! Weeeee..... Calvin led the worship, then Eric Ong welcomes everyone back in CF. Glad to see Mr K back too after his wedding. Several newcomers here... Esvini, Kar Ling, Wendy Lee, Konnee among them. Daniel also comes this time. Bible study time; this time we continue where we stop during last semester. Lesson of the day: Jesus Walking on Water. After that, everyone back in the meeting room. Several announcements made... there's Mooncake Festival in Utar Cafeteria this Friday, jointly organised by several clubs & societies. Oh ya, CF Kampar now has a blog too. Hee... Calvin closed the meeting with a word of prayer, then we dismiss.
Spelling Bee competition tmr... 4.00pm-7.30pm at EDK5. Previously I mentioned that I qualified for the competition abt 2 months ago (refer to my earlier post Through), not sure whether I have to pay 2 bucks for entering since I'm 1 of the top 5. Will do my best tmr.

Nvm, the day goes on with MLE lectures & tutorials. There's a few presentations today; first Subatra & Seoh Chen presented on Karim Raslan's Heroes, then followed by Samantha & Nisha then Rajina talked abt Victor's Last Wish by Kris Jitab; yiling & Shao-Chin on Che Husna Azhari's Mariah (to keep the presentation interesting, they draw out some characters in the story and use them to explain the whole story) and lastly, Mei Yun & Yin Mun brief abt the story from pgs 1-27 from Lee Kok Liang's novella Flowers in the Sky. Supposed there's another presentation from pgs 27-53 but nobody chose that, so Mr Lim has to take over. Class ends at 6pm.
Tada.. the materials used by SC & YL for their presentation

Only 2 long days of classes
Yup!! U heard it right... I'm not kidding!
I have only two days which have classes.. Tues (MLE) & Sat (Japanese)... oh my goodness!! how abt the rest of the days.. more free time for me to... focus on my studies la... heard from Eugene that Japanese tutorials changed to Sat but time n place not confirmed yet.
Also, I'm doing MasterLife discipleship training this time around... apart from the 2 days I have classes, I'll spend the rest of the days doing the Disciple's Cross as there's 5 days for each week on different topics.
I spent the whole day in my room until 7pm cos Japanese tutorial cancelled. Then went dinner with PC, KLynn, Patty & Pei Lee. Cell starts with ice-breaker & Jessie led the worship. During the weekend, a few brothers & sisters went on a mission trip to separate places. Pictures & a video being shown b4 Richard Ng shared abt his experience there. The day went on with all the ppl divided into 3 grp led by PC, KLynn & Pei Lee.
During the sharing time, Pei Lee shared her struggles in life from secondary school up to university to her teaching career in Utar. She was a Utarian too a couples of yrs back, and she told her grp that how she hated Utar at the beginning. But amazingly, God changed her perspective and she's here in Utar, teaching PR students. One thing I wanna highlight from her sharing is that while she was studying in Utar Setapak, she mentioned in her student bill, there's this item called development fees. For what development, u wonder? She explained it was the development of Utar Kampar, which is where I am now. What? Utar asking students to pay rm300 just for the development of the main campus? PHAIL! Really epic PHAIL man!
Tmr gonna be a long day for me (again).. so see u around peep. Roger and out!

Utar memang PHAIL!!!
I dunno wats wrong with Utar management.. give students lousy timetables!!
From the time I started studying here, the timetable was quite okay. But as time goes on, I find the timetables were not properly organised, getting worse one trimester after another. Sum students have classes until 8pm.. sum days have only one class.. sumtimes students have to be in the university for the whole day.. wide gaps in btwn classes. Exam timetable also not organised either, last trimester I have 5 papers in 8 days. Though I can go home earlier but the hectic schedule limits study time of me & my fellow coursemates. I heard from sum frens that they have papers in 2 or 3 straight days or 2 papers in a single day or 12 days gap btwn 2 papers (no names mentioned of those I mean, u know who u r). Totally unfair!! And totally PHAIL!!
And for this trimester, it's a total mess-up. Excluding BM, I have evening classes on Mon & Wed and 2 days where I have to spend the whole day at school. And for Saturday itself, we have to attend 6 hours of Intro to Japanese lectures, according to the timetable given, instead of 4 as the subject is a 3 credit hrs subject. I dun understand why this happens. Mr Krishnan has to come to help Mr Naha Rajan & us EL students to solve the problem. We attended the 1st lecture from 8-10am, but unsure whether to follow our timetable or not. After negotiating with other students, Mr Rajan asked us to come at 2.30pm and cancel the 5-7pm class. But he started the class late cos need to wait for a new grp of students to arrive. He carried on with the lecture and before he ends the class with Q & A session abt Japan. He asked EL students to come from 8-10am n 12-2pm for his lectures next week onwards. Another PHAILure of Utar!!
One last thing is that Utar hired a full-time working adult as our part-time tutor for the same subject. Wth!! Just b'cos of shortage of lecturer for Japanese, they have to ask experienced Mr Chirstopher Ng to handle our tutoiral classes. Now, he can't teach us anymore cos he has a permanent job. PHAIL!!! And that leave us unsure abt our tutorial classes on Mon & Wed. But Mr Rajan suggests that we come on Sat for our tutoirals. This MIGHT happens but depends on situations. If that does happen, it means that we have only two days of classes whereas those taking Chinese have 3. I've no ideas wats gonna happen next but Utar is epic PHAIL man!!
I know I shouldn't say all these things out as this may defame Utar's reputation but I have my own rights to voice out my opinions & feelings. It's just not fair to me as a student here.

End of Week 1
Wow... new trimester has started, and the 1st week just wheezed past. This is a short one, so it's equivalent to 2 weeks in the long trimester.
Except for Thurs, I had to go to Utar every day... this trimester I'm taking 2 subjects only i.e MLE & Intro to Japanese. Went for 1st BM lecture but left the lecture hall within 15 minutes.. cos the lecturer kindly asked those got credit (6C and above) in BM to kindly leave.
And I missed my 1st class within this week, right on the 2nd day. I've set my alarm but switched it off and continued to sleep. Another thing is that I paid the price for not seizing golden opportunities that appear in front of me. As a result, I didn't get to do presentation on Victor's Last Wish by Kris Jitab, the short story which the theme is discrimination of the skin colour.
CBGC services and CG are on again, yay! This time, we're doing discipleship training for Monday's cell. And on Thurs, I met a few frens whom I have not seen them 4 quite sumtimes. Among them were Melissa Jane and Jaclyn who has returned to Kampar after completing their internship trainings. There were sum newcomers as well, and I was surprised & shocked when I heard Vivien Chang's name.
As for today, I spent whole day in the varsity cos have to attend Intro to Japanese lectures. But it was a bad day and almost spoilt my learning mood. Not anything bad happens to myself but it was Utar's fault of arranging our timetable. Intro to Japanese is a 3-credit hour subject, but according to the timetable we EL students received, we have to attend 3 lectures of 2 hrs each, while other students (PR & some JR) only have two classes on their timetable. It's unfair!! Because of this matter, HOD of Language & Linguistics Mr Krishnan had to step in to help solve the problem together with Mr Rajan, our lecturer.
Anyway, I managed to relax & cool myself down. Went shopping in Tesco with few coursemates after brunch. Then just now I attends Utar Taekowndo Club's annual dinner in one of the Harvard houses. (FYI I signed up for this club last yr, thought of learning sum martial arts but only attended the meetings and not the training sessions). Met a few new frens there... including Konnee, the girl who SMSes me abt the event y'day.. she's the secretary of the club and to my surprise, she's Shirley Kwong's senior.
Confession time: Ever since I come back to Kampar on 15 Oct, I spent most of my time here onlining... sumtimes even online for long hours... only get to sleep around 2.30am.. apart from checking mails and Facebooking, recently I spent my time on the Warriors forums, interacting with other Warriors fans around the world. Haiz... I should've spend more time reading my MLE books n practise writing n memorising Hiragana n Katakana characters. There's asgnmts n presentations as well.. so busy.. guess I've to spend more time doing the right thing at the right time and lesser time on unnecessary things like the Warriors forums.

Relieved
Ohayo gozaimasu (Good morning in Japanese).
Hee... supposed today I have Bahasa Kebangsaan (A) lecture from 8-11am and 5-8pm, but u wonder why I still have time blogging.
Haha.. lemme tell u la, I am allowed to leave cos I got a credit for BM in SPM. This morning, I wake up around 7.30am, getting ready to attend the BK lectures although I've applied for unit exemption last week. When I reach there, I am like lost cos I don't see any of my friends there. In the end, I feel relieved when Shao-Chin and Pei Ching enter DDK5.
Pn Hanisah, lecturer for this subject, kindly asks those who obtained credit in SPM to leave. I see many students start leaving the lecture hall (me inclusive). Before I leave, I asks Pn Hanisah whether I can leave as my exemption application has not been approved yet. She assures me and the rest that we can leave. Thanks, Pn Hanisah!
With no classes for the rest of the day, I can relax a while first, then I'll continue reading my MLE materials or practising writing and pronouncing Japanese characters and greetings (those things I've learnt during Japanese tutorials on Mon & Wed).
Tmr gonna be another long day.. 3 Japanese lectures for the whole day, from 8am-7pm (with interval in btwn the lectures). Ok back to work. Dewa mata (see you in Japanese). Roger and out!

What a day!!
Today at first it turned out a bad day for me, but then I enjoyed the rest of the day.
Haiz... missed my very first class right on the 2nd day the new trimester.. reason: overslept again!! I went to bed around 1.30am this morning, but I couldn't sleep until 3am. Somehow, I managed to get some sleep la.. set my alarm at 7am cos MLE lecture at 8am. And I switched it off when it rang but instead of getting up, I rest for a little while more. Mana tau, I tertidur lebih pulak.. the time around 10am when I woke up again.
Gah! Myself to blame. Nvm, went to varsity to consult Mr Lim (my MLE lecturer) for what he taught in the morning class. Then, the day went on. At the end of 2nd lecture, he asked both Y2S2 and Y2S3 students to fill up the schedule of presentation. Each student has to work with a partner and choose one or two topics to present. Somehow, I hesitated cos couldn't find a partner (the rest are paired up dy). As a result, the topic I want to do, Victor's Last Wish, is being chosen by my other classmates. Sigh!!
Decided to do the presentation with Monica again, but she was absent and cannot be reached thru phone. A little frustrated... nvm just get on it, I told myself. So I chose 2 topics to present first - 1 on Lee Kok Liang's novel Flowers in the Sky & the other Shirley Lim's poem What the Fortune Teller Didn't Tell. Managed to reach her in the end but haven told her the topics I chose yet.
Anyway, there's presentations during tutorials.. Betty presented on K S Maniam's Haunting the Tiger while Steffy & Bee Ling explained abt Journey by Shirley Lim. By the way, the presentation doesn't carry any marks. The real coursework marks come from the 2 asgnmt we gonna complete within 7 weeks. First one on fiction, another on poetry. We're to work in grps of 4 or 5. I've decided to work with those girls in T1 as I seldom have the chance to do so. Hee.. so I joined Ivy, Joey, Pamela (Mei Yun) & Grace (Yin Mun) for 1st term paper. As for the 2nd, I requested to do the asgnmt tgt with the Smart Quartet - Ann, Jan, Manmeet & Renjie, but they haven't agree yet whether to allow me to join them.
Then went home, getting ready to go CF meeting. Hee.. reached there 'round 8.15pm, had some time chit-chatting with other members cos long time din c each other dy ma. Shu Ern led the worship with few songs mostly in Malay. Then Eric Ong took over and welcomed everyone back to CF. Yay!
A slideshow on the last meeting of the previous trimester plus CF combined camp shown. Glad those 38 ppl went had a gr8 time there. Eric then explained what's in store for CF members in this short trimester ( most of the ppl there having short trimester there, except a few). Then all members were being requested to take some time to fill in the CF feedback form. Later more photos and videos on CF camp were shown. One video on the sharing by those campers abt the camp. Half way, Shirley's laptop jammed a few times. PHAIL!!
Had a gr8 fellowship with friends during refreshment time. Then balik rumah... preparing for the next day.
Lesson learnt
Grab hold of every opportunity available before it slips away.
Things to ponder and reflect
Sleep & wake up early.
Have proper time management.

By the way, the presentation doesn't carry any marks. The real coursework marks come from the 2 asgnmt we gonna complete within 7 weeks. First one on fiction, another on poetry. We're to work in grps of 4 or 5. I've decided to work with those girls in T1 as I seldom have the chance to do so. Hee.. so I joined Ivy, Joey, Pamela (Mei Yun) & Grace (Yin Mun) for 1st term paper. As for the 2nd, I requested to do the asgnmt tgt with the Smart Quartet - Ann, Jan, Manmeet & Renjie, but they haven't agree yet whether to allow me to join them.
Then went home, getting ready to go CF meeting. Hee.. reached there 'round 8.15pm, had some time chit-chatting with other members cos long time din c each other dy ma. Shu Ern led the worship with few songs mostly in Malay. Then Eric Ong took over and welcomed everyone back to CF. Yay!
A slideshow on the last meeting of the previous trimester plus CF combined camp shown. Glad those 38 ppl went had a gr8 time there. Eric then explained what's in store for CF members in this short trimester ( most of the ppl there having short trimester there, except a few). Then all members were being requested to take some time to fill in the CF feedback form. Later more photos and videos on CF camp were shown. One video on the sharing by those campers abt the camp. Half way, Shirley's laptop jammed a few times. PHAIL!!
Had a gr8 fellowship with friends during refreshment time. Then balik rumah... preparing for the next day.
Lesson learnt
Grab hold of every opportunity available before it slips away.
Things to ponder and reflect
Sleep & wake up early.
Have proper time management.

First day of new trimester
It was great I can say!!! Went for my 1st class, Intro to Japanese tutorial, at 6pm... as I've mentioned b4, our seniors will be joining us this trimester.
The tutor is a male, Mr Christopher Ng, who has stayed in Japan for 10 yrs.. he taught us how to write and pronounce basic Japanese characters. I had a glance how many ppl are taking Japanese this trimester. Only 31 ppl - 23 of us, 8 of our seniors (Shu Ern, Joyce, Jia Wei, Arthur, Jolyn, Beverly, Liew Something and Ponneey). At the end of the class, Eugene announced we're be getting the additional reading materials tmr. Oh boy, more stuff to read! And I haven't finish the 3 books that I received on the last day of my exam the previous trimester.
Ok, let's get on with it!! Went to GGBC straight away after class ended. Lots of ppl already there, most of them were Amazing Race campers. PC prayed for the food, then everyone started makan-ing. There's tom yam bihun, salad, glutinous rice and satay. They taste good, though the satay not so nice la. Not the taste, but there's lots of carbon on the meat. Then, we had a birthday celebration for Quay Lishia who turned 18 y'day.

Tada.. Lishia's birthday cake
And here's the birthday girl. Happy belated birthday, Lishia! May God bless u always!
After that, sharing time. A few ppl who went for the Amazing Race camp shared abt what they've learnt during the 3-day camp. Then, all those ppl there received The Disciple's Cross, a book abt discipleship. Yup, we're doing discipleship training this trimester. Gotta start doing the training tmr.
8am class tmr till 6.30pm. Oh boy, it's gonna be a long day tmr! But, there's something to cheer me up after that - CF 1st meeting, 8.30pm at WMC. Can't wait to meet the CF sesat gang again!
