Starting college in Lakeside Campus.

Many people are not eager to shift to the Lakeside campus. The reasons are, there are going to be so many students, it will be harder to find a parking and the food are so much more expensive. Well for me, i was looking forward to studying in Lakeside. I guess it's because I'm still new.

On my first day going to Lakeside campus, I was really scared of one thing. Finding for parking. Turned out, it wasn't hard at all. There were many guards leading me to the parking area. Good first impression i had to the parking. They are organized. Well, I guess the only reason why there were still so many parking was because it was 7.30a.m. in the morning. By 11.30a.m., the parking area was already fully packed with cars.

Look at thaT!! I hope that my classes are always in the morning.

Besides that, i felt that my new college was really big. I know that we now have attire rules to follow but i do see many people, girls especially, breaking the rules. The classes are almost the same size but it is colder than the classes in Leisure Commerce Square. It's more comfortable here. Because of us shifting to Lakeside, there were many late comers to class. Our attendance will still be taken even if we are late. This will be a benefit for those who are always late.

During break, I went to a stall called Desert Bar for breakfast. A sandwich cost RM5.00 but because i have my Taylors student identity card, i got a 15% discount on my food. I definitely agree with people that the food here are a bit more expensive.



For lunch later on, we decided to go to the food court to try out the food there. Prices of food are much more reasonable. Yeap. MoRe ReaSonaBle! One problem. The food court was like going bananas. It was so full that we had to sit separately.

Well, driving to college and back is a little problem. The traffic was bad. I can be less than a km to Taylors but it takes me more than 15 minutes to reach. My friend Yih Ling was not use to the parking place in the campus yet. To get out of the parking area, she had to go up a slope. The other day, she went up the slope with a gear 2, the car was going slow and all of a sudden, car went backwards because the engine died. That was a funny thing she did. Thank goodness there were no cars behind us.

Did you know almost all the restaurant look the same to me there?
look at that...

My friends and I wanted to try out the food made by our students but we couldn't because it was closed. I like the way the restaurants are named. They all start with the letter 'T'. I was told that to enter these restaurants, we had to dress formally and had to book a day before to taste their food.


One one of them was named Truffles.I found that name the most attrative.

Holiday Plans (Part 2) ^^

Hey there, i am trying the best i can, to upload more pictures so that it will be less boring alright! So bear with me!

Wednesday the 21st of April, I had no place to do anything at home due to my house renovation. Anything!!! As in not even cooking and eating. How sad is that? I couldn't use the computer because the wireless and the phone line were unplugged. The television too was not working. The only place i could stay was in my room because i cleaned it spick and span after the painting.

I was told that for my blog assignment, 15% of marks will be given due to consistency. So, this morning, i decided to blog. Unfortunately, i found out that i could not blog at home. So, i went over to my friend's house just to blog. The previous blog was done in his house. Thanks to the owner of the house!!

Well, the second half of the day, I went to 1Utama to meet up with a few of my high school friends. I was really excited about it because my best friend was going to be there too! We've been best friends since 2005 when we were in form 1. She was previously from my school but changed to Beaconhouse which is a private school when she was in form 5. It was hard for us to meet because we were not staying close to each other. Well, my friends and i then watched the movie Shuttle Island.

It was totally not my idea to watch this show. The guys wanted to watch it because Leornado Dicaprio was the main actor. I did not really enjoy watching the show because it was a movie that i can't make head or tail of. The boys on the other hand, enjoyed the movie.

Thursday the 22nd of April, was a very hot and sunny day. Why? Well, my house was still in a mess. I had to leave the house again to do my work. But this time, I went to the Macdonald's in Centerpoint. I was there only until 3.oop.m. because i had to do a few things after that. Furthermore, i was sweating in Macdonald's because i was sitting outside and not inside. Why did I do that? It's because there was no plugs available inside and i needed the plug to charge my laptop. Tennis was cancelled today because of the heavy rain in the evening. It only started raining when i reached the tennis court. So, guess what? I became the blame for it (the rain).

Friday the 23rd of April, I woke up really early just to play a game of basketball with my friends. I've not played for such a long time. Sadly, only 2 of my friends could make it because the others had to attend classes in college. For your information, most of them are taking A levels. We all cycled to the park. As you can see, there are 3 bicycles at the basketball court.

Since there were only 3 of us, there was no fun playing basketball. We only played for an hour. After that, we decided to play Frisbee. It was my first time hearing and playing that and i was definitely no good in it. It was a new Billabong Frisbee that my friend bought in Australia and i almost broke it. I kept throwing it on the floor instead of to my friend

This is me trying to throw the Frisbee as far and high as i can to my friend at the other end....

Billabong Frisbee

After the game, we all cycled to Centerpoint for our breakfast. That was what happened in the morning.

My best friend and Jason came over to my house at 2.30p.m. We ate lunch in front of my television and watched a movie. At 5.00p.m i went for tennis, my best friend took a nap in my room and Jason drove home. Have i mentioned that i am the worst tennis player on the court? Even the 9-year-old boy could play better than me. Well, it's okay because it was only my 6th lesson.

At 8.00p.m., I drove to 1Utama and as usual, i would park at the same place. Look at that! There are always no cars around me. That is why it's my favourite spot!

I went there to hang out with a few of my friends. Since we were all so broke, we decided to have our dinner in the food court. After our dinner, we walked around and also visited 2 of our friends whom are working in Haagen Dazs. They were so happy to0 see us that they gave us 4 scoops of ice-creams. That's a lot you know.

These are the bunch of friends who are fun to mix with...


Just visiting our 2 beloved friends.


This is them (on the left) trying to ask for free ice-cream from my other two friends (on the right)

The day was so fun, but i still had to go back at 10.30p.m.. The guys stayed back for a late night movie. Before going home, i took some pictures with my best friend.. I MISS HER ALL THE TIME!!

Saturday the 24th of April, i had a very down day. Although i was upset today, i still went out with my friend, Aaron to watch the movie 'When in Rome'. The show was nice and funny but i just couldn't laugh much. For dinner, my family and i went to Canton-I, This was because dad wanted to eat the RM1 chicken. Dad is always up for cheap and free things.

Sunday the 25th of April, I had to wake up early to do some assignments given. Thank god the wireless is fixed. I also drove to the new campus that i was going to. Dad had to show me the way just one more time. I was supposed to work today but dad did not allow me because we were celebrating mum's birthday today. We went for lunch in Kuchai Lama. It was steamboat and grandma foot the bill today.

As for dinner, my parents were out and so were my grandparents. So, my sister and i went for dinner in a new restaurant in Centerpoint. It was called Kitchen Creatures. True enough, there were many small little creatures crawling and flying around. I did not enjoy the company of the insects. We ordered a plate of bacon carbonara, lamb chop and a house special root beer. My sister said that the carbonara tasted like soap. How would she know how soap taste like? Well, when we were young, she liked washing the toilets. So i guess that's how she knew how it tastes like. The lamb chop was so hard and chewy that i couldn't get it down my throat. Yeap! It was that bad. The funniest thing is, the house special root beer. They called it special by adding ginger in it. You should try doing that. Tell me how special does it taste alright? Maybe you will like it but we did not. To remember this place, i decided to take a picture of the restaurant. This might be beneficial for you too just in case if you decide to step foot in this restaurant. (Do not order the food that i did)

If you realized, I have only been mentioning two places this whole holiday - 1Utama and Centerpoint. I guess you can call that my hang out spot!

Holiday Plans (Part 1)

Sunday the 18^th of April, I had quite an interesting day. For the first time in my life, dad went shopping with us (mum, sister and I). He has never shopped with us before because we usually shop for dresses and other girly stuff. He always goes looking at car, hand phones and other electronic devices and even shopping alone. I sometimes pity him. If only i had a brother, then he would not feel so lonely. Back to my story, I bought so many things including 2 dresses, 2 flat shoes (one for shopping, one black for work) and 2 earrings. I have not bought so much in a long time because of college and working life. I miss being in high school where my parent would give me school pocket money.

Besides that, I also did pierce my ears for the second time! It was another one above my original piercing.

Actually, it wasn’t my idea of getting the second pierce. My younger sister wanted to get her second one. She dared me to pierce it with her and I took the dare. Mum thought that I was joking because I was always known as a scary cat. I’m afraid 0f many thing such as insects, animals and also heights. Mum laughed at me and it made me wanting to pierce my ears even more but I was really scared inside. Mum brought us to the shop in 1Utama called Dragonfly to pierce our ears. The person before us got a pierce on her tongue. I did not like looking at how she got the pierce. When it was our turn, I decided to go first. When the lady held the piercing gun on my ear then pierced it, I screamed a little and tears began rolling down my cheeks. It was really embarrassing but it was definitely better than the last time where I cried for an hour. It did not really hurt but I was just too scared about it. My sister got so frightened when she saw me crying that she decided not to pierce her ear for a moment. After piercing, she laughed at me because it was not pain at all to her.

Monday the 19^th of April, my dad’s workers came over to my house to paint my whole house. They started with my room. I had to clean up my whole room the past few days because of today. I decided to paint my room pink and royal iris in colour. Before painting, my room looks like this….

But now, it looks like this….

I was also the driver for the day for my mum, sis and also friends. This is what that is happening to me after getting my license. We had to get out of the house because the house was full of paints and it smells bad.

Tuesday the 20^th April, was such a usual day for me. Besides having fun this holiday, I had to work too from 12pm until 9pm. This was for the extra pocket money. Oh well, this is only the beginning of my week. There is so much to come on the second half of my week. So enjoy reading!

Stay strong, Be strong

Alice is a very sweet girl who was born in Kluang, Johor. She was brought up in a poor family and has 3 older brothers.

When she was young, she was always in good health. One day, while she was in school, she fell while walking down the stairs. It wasn't an accident. She just lost her feeling on her legs and fell down all of a sudden. She could not walk. All her friends were so concerned. The school called up her parents to ask them to bring her home. As soon as her parents arrived, she was brought to the doctor.

After being brought to see the doctor, they found out that she has a rare illness that the cure for it has not been found in Malaysia. The doctor suggested to do a surgery as soon as possible to see what was happening to her. Alice's parents had to pay through their noses for that surgery. The surgery took place the next day. After the surgery, they discovered that she had tumor and the doctor removed it.

The next week, she was alright and so continued going back to school again. Everyone thought that she was all better until she fell down again. This time, it was worse. She could not move, could not hear and could not see a thing.

When she went back to the hospital, the doctor did a full body check up on her and finally found that the tumor has spread to her spine and will not stop spreading. The doctor said that he could not do anything to remove the tumor at the spine because it will damage her spine for sure. All she could do was lie on bed and wait till her whole body give up on her. Everything was coming to an end for her.

After a few weeks, Alice's family received a call from a doctor in United Kingdom saying that they have found a cure for her illness but they had one big problem stopping them from accepting the operation. It was the money issue. It was too expensive for them to pay up. They had to let this golden opportunity go. The next day, they received a call again from United Kingdom and this time, the doctor said that they would do this surgery for free. They did not even have to pay for the flight tickets. As soon as Alice was told about this, she cried because she was so happy and excited to get better and live a healthy and normal life again. They immediately pack up and went straight to United Kingdom.

After the operation, she got better and could walk again but because of the tumor around her face, the left side of her face is now paralyzed. She was not a least bit sad at all and was thankful to everyone even though half of her face was paralyzed because she was able to live a normal life again. She took this as a new beginning in her life.

When she was sent back to Malaysia, she continued her studies until her masters. She is currently a very successful woman who is married to a man that loves her very much and is blessed with two children. Besides that, she earns money by giving talks to many people about her life struggles. She also tells her clients that there is always hope in life. She has also written her own book about her life.

Knowing that life is so precious, we should always treasure it.

A New Beginning For Me....

In life, we will meet with new beginnings at new stages. For example, after leaving high school, there will be a transition to college life. Young couples who have decided to live their lives together starts a new family too. Even after a broken relationship, an individual will heal and so a new beginning can be started. Not only that, in seasons, spring is a new beginning. I think
I should blog about my new beginning as a college student.

While waiting to get into college, I sat for my driving exams and thankfully passed. Now, i'm all equipt to drive with a driving license and a car to drive to college. My family and I scouted around to find the best college for me as I have decided to take up a Diploma in Mass Communication. Finally, we decided Taylors College.

On the first day, I felt a little apprhensive. The orientation was a mass of humanity. I couldn't see a single friendly or recognizable face. Even though I am considered one of the most friendly people around, I found it hard to relate to anyone around me. They were mostly in the world of their own. However, at the end of the orientation, I managed to have made a few friends.

I think it was the administrators who were telling us where to go and what to do during the orientation. However, I did not have a clue of what they were talking about. For the three long days of orientation, the one thing that i found interesting was when they had the only girl session teaching us about self preservation. Finally, on the third day,we entered our lecture room which was a class for Mass Communication students. We have a big group, about 4o students and at last, I have a few friendly faces around me. I began to feel more comfortable and i was filled with excitement and enticipation of what was to come.

It hit me that it's no longer as easy as it was in secondary school where i use to moan, whine and grumble about writing in a continuous essay that consist of more than 300 words. I now have to face an enormous task of writing an essay of 500 words.

Now, I'm in my second week of college life. Do you know what my biggest problem is? So much so that my dad has to drop me off at college every morning and it makes me feel as though that I'm still depending and attached to my parents apron strings.

In this new beginning, I am filled with so much hope and dreams for my future but i have no clue on whether to choose Public Relations or Advertising as my major. I love working with people and i know in these two avenues, I will be able to work with many people. Since i do not know which of these will be suitable for me, I guess I can depend on the counsellors in Taylor's College to guide me on.


I have a poem here written by one of my closest friend about and for me but i had to do a little editing and i would like to share it. Here it goes...

Looking back to the past,

It seems like time has passed so fast,

Why it feels like only just yesterday,

I was panicking about my exams the whole day,

However, yesterday was yesterday,

Today is today,

New Ideas, New Thoughts,

New Aims, New Goals,

New Looks, New Fashion,

New Results, New Position,

2009 gone into 2010,

College this year will be a new gate,

New doors will be unlocked,

New challenges will i be blocked,

All these are the stepping stones to my goal,

And all will I overcome to satisfy my soul,

Striving to do my best,

In studies, In sports,

In life, In self-development,

Aiming for only the best,

And never giving up is what I do best,

Looking forward to this year,

I think I have myself in gear,

Stretching my hands to grab the gold,

I think I'll be able to reach my goal.

I have two videos here just for your entertainment.

Look at this little boy.. happy or not, life must go on...




If you are feeling a little down, you should definitely watch this video.
