I've been holding this in for a while but I have decided to break my silence. So a few people have been giving me mixed reviews ever since I started replacing my breakfast and dinner with Herbalife's nutrition. I am really grateful towards the kinds and positive feedbacks from friends and loved ones. There aren't any negative comments about it but more of a dissing and back lash and stuff.
I have 'friends' telling me that its a waste of money in investing in Herbalife. Honestly, if you just look at the product as a product which it is, it is pricey. But if you look FURTHER it is actually a good investment. Before using Herbalife, I would spend in total 24 bucks per day on food+snacks. Ever since I replaced 2 of my meals with the Formula 1 shake, I spend in total 6 ringgit on food per day. No I don't starve myself to death. I wouldn't be able to type this post if I were.
I just take the nutritious shake for breakfast which takes me less than 10 minutes to make. Sure its not pleasing to the eye but again, if you look FURTHER it is worth it. Herbalife's shake contains every nutrients your body could ever need to function at its optimal level. You heard me, that one shake contains everything your body needs. If you consume the shake on a daily basis, you will seriously feel a change in yourself. A good change. For me it was happiness. No more morning flues, headaches and terrible acne problem. I'm not saying that Herbalife is a magical medicine its not.
Put it this way, feed your body what you think is the 'good stuff' when in actual fact it is crap, you will feel crap. Sure you might say you don't have cancer or serious problems with your organs, but what about the little things that you keep on complaining on a daily basis ?
"ugh my skin. ugh my head. ugh my nose. ugh my period"
If you feed you body the really REALLY good stuff. Your body will feel GREAT ! Cause every tiny cells in your body are receiving their needed fuel. Their correct/proper fuel to function properly.
Sure at times you MIGHT feel hungry at times even when consuming the nutritious shakes but think of it this way, your body has all the nutrients it needs for the day, you won't die. You're not malnourished or anything. This has got to be my mantra every time my tummy starts to have a dance party.
Some other things people are telling me is "Why are you taking Herbalife?It's not good for you.You'll end up fat again once you stop"
1.Herbalife's products are good for my body, I am confident I will never stop using it even after I've achieved my weight goals.
2.HERBALIFE IS NOT A LOSE WEIGHT TYPE OF COMPANY. WE ARE PROMOTING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE THROUGH NUTRITIOUS MEALS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
3.The girl that said this to me was morbidly obese and was chowing down on fried food.
4.Honey have you even TRIED using Herbalife ?
If you stop feeding your body the good stuff and start feeding it the previous crap that you have been craving for so long, of course you'll be gaining back all that weight. Heck you might double it.
Its all logic to be honest. People should stop and think about it instead of just judging it. For goodness sakes you people have a diploma. THINK !
When I think back to those scenarios, I am glad I wasn't caught up in their web, cause if I did, I would of never LOSE 8kg, my WAIST would of never changed from 34 to a 31,my clothes would of still been a large and not the current MEDIUM and SMALL size and all in all, I would of never feel this GOOD and CONFIDENT about myself.
SO,IF YOU ARE SERIOUS AND WANT TO LOSE/GAIN WEIGHT,ASK ME HOW !

"I'm Nervous" does not make you look weak or pathetic...
You know how some people they have this high level of confidence when speaking in front of a huge crowd ? Public Speakers, debaters, students running for positions in University and what not. Each of them have this confidence that everyone admire. I mean not everyone can speak clearly and loudly in front of a crowd with confidence and also might I add makes any sense on what they are speaking. Speaking with confidence is really something, speaking with confidence and speaks about something clearly that everyone listening to him or her speak understand is something else!
Then there are some that are fully confident behind the scenes. I am not referring to those doing the work behind the scenes. I am referring to those that are mostly hot shots in front of their peers but acts like melting ice at the north pole when they are out in front of a huge audience. I've actually met a few of these people. The later I mean. Not only one or two but more than 5 !
These people would brag about how they have all sorts of great ideas or how they have so much experience in presenting or working with large audience or whatever they are about to do or how they had practice a whole week for the class presentation they are about to do but when they once they are up on stage or in front of the class or audience its like they're a whole different person. Its not like they suddenly turn to Oprah or Tyra or President Obama. Its more like changing into Casper's scarred little cousin. If you're lucky, some might even become dancers. Swinging their hands in front of people while doing their presentations in order to rid of their nervousness. You know its not working if you're swinging your hands back and forth or scratching your hands at the nearest object you can reach from the beginning of your presentation till the end.
Now I'm not saying that I am the master of presentation or public speaking or anything. It does not mean that I dance in front of a huge crowd at events, big or small means that I am UBER confident at public speaking. Hell no. Even before every performance, people that know me well will know that I would cough out air till the point I'm about to vomit. I don't know why but it works for me. Its as if I'm puking out butterflies that are trapped in my stomach. Even before presentations I would also do the same thing. Still dancing and public speaking are 2 very different things. Dancing....well yeah you just dance without saying a word. You just move your body and make facial expressions appropriate to the dance. Public Speaking on the other hand....where do I start ? The hand gestures, the voice tones, body language, volume etc etc. That's why at times when I am doing presentations, my body movement is all over the place. Its not those habits where I scratch things or swing my arms back and forth. Its more of like .... dancing. Maybe I'm so used to move like so in front of people that it has become sort of a habit for me. To some it does look weird but hey....all eyes are on me anyway and getting people's attention during presentations/public speaking/debating is really really important. What's the point of having the 'fake' confidence if no one is paying attention or half of the class is dozing off ?
If no one notices that people aren't paying attention to you its ok. But if one person or two notices the other classmates are not paying attention and the lecturers are dozing off, you look pretty stupid to be honest.
Why would people be all "I'm very confident, I've practised so much, I've done so much preparations for this presentation" when in the end you're just standing there shaking like a naked guy at some cold storage and nothing comes out of your mouth....when ever this type of person presents I usually imagine a subtitle appearing in front of them saying "Over Confident".... I bet mine would read "Lost Crazy Belly Dancer" .

Raya Review
I have been in my home town, Kuching for about a week now I guess to celebrate Hari Raya with family and friends.
1st day as usual, all of my family gathered at our grand parent's house to meet and greet the old, eat home cooked meals that each of my aunt and uncles cooked themselves or so they say they did. Shook hands with the elderly, my parents, aunts and uncles, cousins and most of all received packet money !! So grateful that at my age *cough* I still receive tiny packets of money. We went to our grand parent's relatives houses next. Basically we got out of the house at 10 or so am and arrived back home at midnight ! Visiting relative houses non stop and receiving yet again packet money non stop.
On the 2nd day of Aidilfitri my family and I didn't do much since we had a family dinner later that night. So I decided to stay at home and finished up my assignments though still undone, at least I did something that was productive instead of following my parents visiting their friends.
To be honest, I did not expect much of the Family Dinner. The only thing in my mind was attend the 'lame' event, eat the food, gave applause for the entertainment and not sleep. Well I did all of the above and more. Got to play around with a few of the younger cousins who were shockingly not that shy or scared of other people. Playing around as in poking their round bubbly cheeks, asking them stupid questions like whether they prefer Kuching or Kelantan and why they're shorter than I am. That didn't stop there though. There was a 'dance session' where one of my uncles decided to do the 'Poco-poco' . Everyone joined him on the dance floor except for my cause hello !! Mr.Antisocial of the Millennium right here. My cousin even danced one of her performance she did for MSU which was pretty well fun and yet again I didn't participate. I was lucky enough that they started to do everything all over again so I was able to participate with everyone else on the dance floor. Practically everyone did from my grand mother to my 5 and a half year old cousin.
On the 3rd day I did not do much during the day since I was busy packing my stuff cause I am going back to Kelantan in a few days, more specifically this Monday. Later at night I went out with my buddies. Finally reunited with Deen, Adi, Saif, Zaman, Azrol, Azlan and Syazwan. A few others are were absent cause they were busy travelling and some were out with their 'teman' lol. I even dragged my friend, Zudin, who was not part of the group along with us cause I told him we were gonna visit our friend, Musawi afterwards with the rest of the gang. Sadly for him, we were staying at Azrol's for too long that Musawi said it was alright if we couldn't make it to his house tonight since he was pretty tired attending to guests at his house. I actually enjoyed driving my friends around. I don't know why. I usually let my 'non-straight' friends drive me around but with ze straights lol I actually enjoyed it. Haha no offence people. Hilariously Musawi whatsapped me and told me that he was at our friends house which we just visited like 10 15 minutes before arriving so a few people thought it was weird since he said he was tired. mehh xD
Another weird thing happened. We were at our friends house when a familiar face arrived at the house. We all knew who they were (school friends/acquaintance) . What was weird was they didn't want to enter the house. They say it was due to my friend being there. Even the brother of my friend asked them to enter and sat with us inside and they still refuse. We didn't care much, we were mostly watching the football match between Barcelona vs Malaysia. The funny part was when we were about to leave the house, the 2 girls decided to dash across the patio they were sitting to the back door of the house just so that they won't meet us or my friend. I don't know whether it was because they had a fight or teased one another but come on, we're all approaching adulthood and you'd avoid your friends due to a petty fight or teasing ? Even if it was hurtful grow a pair, sit inside and just ignore our group. We wouldn't be bothered anyway.
I heard a lot of stories that night though and I am glad that my friends are still in contact with me even though I rarely have the time to hang out with them due to our different schedules. I'm really grateful that they still even accept me in the group for who I am, not for what I have or anything. Insyaallah with God's will, we will stay close till the end.
Deeply grateful and hurtful at the same time. :)

The Semester So Far
A brief/short(hope so) post about what happened so far:
Went to KB Mall ( where else right ? ) with my classmates. Out of all the places/shops we went, I only took photos when we were at McDonald's .
Went to KB Mall ( where else right ? ) with my classmates. Out of all the places/shops we went, I only took photos when we were at McDonald's .
Ira & Ana
Ikin
The boys lol. Amar & Mizan.
The van that drove us back and forth from our campus to Kota Bharu.
The white van basically fit 15 to 18 people in it EXCLUDING the driver ! Didn't took pictures of the rest of the gang since I was too busy chomping down on my Ice-Cream.
Next up ! Became a Facilitator for Diploma in Statistic's Association's(I-techq) programme called "Jangan Takut" (Don't Be Afraid). The 2 days and 2 night motivational event was to inspire our 1st semester juniors of Diploma In Statistic and Diploma in Actuarial Science so that they join or participate in I-Techq or other organization that exist in our campus. The association invited a bunch of us who were active in other associations and organization. I was invited due to being involved in the Performing Arts club. My roommate was also invited due to him being in multiple organization,President in 2 out 3 of the clubs he joined. The rest also held high positions or are super active in their organization such as Kesatria, the Debate Team etc. I only took 2 photos with my phone during the programme. I mostly took photos with my iPod ...too lazy to transfer the pictures ><
My bed for 4 months ><
ESKEP ! One of the first event our Performing Arts Group C.U.T.E/SST/Dikir/Nasyid performed for the semester.
And lastly..... SPAZZED OVER AFTER SCHOOL'S COMEBACK !
E-Young's Hair !
Lizzy missing T.T
And when I saw
.

.
.
Kaeun !
and some more Kaeun !
I fainted xD
I know this is different from my usual posts but I felt like doing it so yeah whatever lol.
My class schedules aren't so packed though. The gaps between classes are just perfect ! Even though I have 3 8 o'clock classes per week.
It feels kinda weird though entering Uni without the seniors of our Performing Arts Club/friends.
New semester, new lecturers, new events, new people, new friends, new drama,new level of stupidity popping up left and right.

Abusing the 'Bold'
You know how in an organization or team building courses they say that every opinion matters in order for a 'team' to succeed ? How a 'good' leader should listen to every opinion regardless of how illogical it may or may not be ? Not just listen but actually process every bit of idea that they've listen to ? well that is true in order for a team to succeed in achieving their goal.
Not just on how a leader should act but also how the followers should not be afraid of their leaders but respect them ? or how the followers should not be afraid to speak out their voice ? No matter how many people were voicing out their opinions and you are far at the back you should do your best so that your opinion is heard.
Feeling good about yourself for attending those types of work shop, you probably feel all confident, ready to face the outside world thinking that everything is going to go your way.
I can say that you're probably 70% wrong. I'm just making up the percentage but in the real world, if you're really lucky, everything goes the way inspirational speaker said it would be. But if you really have the worst of luck like me ? Then you basically wasted 100 bucks on attending those types of talks. Partially joking about wasting the money. You learn something valuable, that you may or may not use it in real life.
I have different experience when it comes to voicing out my own opinions,inquiries etc. At times, people would ask for my opinions. Usually its because I am the youngest in the group, they wanted my point of view cause I was a bit different than most of them. And at other times, I'm like a lost lamb in New York City. Not even honest questions are heard let alone answered. What seems to be completely hilarious to others is that people would be listening to me talking about what I think of something or about my ideas and all of a sudden someone in the huge room would say "I have an idea" and everyone's attention would be shifted to that said person while I have not even finish talking or even reached 3 minutes into speaking up.
I know for those that actually bother reading my blog would say "Wow,some friends you got there" "How rude of them to do that to you" "That's not how an organization or group or team works" but sadly this does happen to me. Well usually the cutting me off while I'm talking part usually happens when the person that cuts me off seems more important than me or matters more to the big people within the circle. I would usually wait till the well 'mannered' person finishes talking then I'll try my best to continue where I was cut off. Life loves to be funny and play pranks on me cause usually when I succeed in getting people's attention, another attention seeking whore....I mean another person would just jump right in,push me to the sides and voiced out their opinions instead. Thinking that the idea that is currently brewing in their head is so amazing that it cannot wait to be exploded into everyone's face and how it cannot wait another second for me to finish my part. I mean seriously? Wait till other people finish their turn then you can have your turn and vomit out your Godly Holy Supreme Idea that's been fucking your skull back and forth cause its needed to be released immediately.
Mind you, Bias does not only occur in the K-Pop world. It happens everywhere you go. Giving grades, cooking food,preparing outfits for different occasion,working in a team, accepting people's opinions etc.
Not just cutting people off but also when it comes to ideas. When you're working in a company and working at the bottom of the food chain, you will be asked to do stuff according to how they President or CEO wants it to be. You're not aloud to voice out your opinions or suggestions. Who are you to give out your suggestions ? You're nothing. You're supposed to do as you told not given a task,try and suggest something and then proceed. It doesn't work that way. When performing, usually the songs are already picked out by the 'big guy' . We don't even get a say in any of it. If we're lucky, they would asked us what songs do we have in minds. Still in that moment we have a leader and other opinions we needed to take in to matter of. That is good though, it means that everyone is listening to everyone's ideas and suggestions. In related with the company thing, your ideas will usually be considered if you are one of the top staffs in the company. Goes same in academic clubs or organizations you join in college/university. But usually these days, opinions of 'closed' friends matter most and opinions of others well would be brushed off. There will always be something wrong with a 'stranger's' idea.
There's also a low chance that opinions of friends and closed ones are rejected. When this happens, they would put on a fake smile for a few minutes. Once the meeting's over with, they would start trash talking about others that have their ideas taken into consideration. How that person is a whore,a gold digger,does drugs and what not. Spreading rumours. Trying to manipulate others so that within time, people would change their minds on their perspective view of that said person and dropped their ideas and instead, picks up the ideas of their 'friends'.
Not just on how a leader should act but also how the followers should not be afraid of their leaders but respect them ? or how the followers should not be afraid to speak out their voice ?

My Reason : Herbalife
Guess what ? Here's another 'loosing weight' kind of post.
Herbalife. I am pretty sure that most Malaysians by now know what Herbalife is. You don't ?
Long story short, Herbalife is a HUGE company , whose products, especially the ever so popular Formula 1 Nutritious Mixed Soy Powder Drink, contains cellular nutrition. Cellular Nutrition is basically balanced nutrition which your body needs.
I have known Herbalife for quite some time. 2 years, give or take. But back then I did not know of its product range, business opportunities, events etc. All I know was that Herbalife's products will help you lose weight. Boy was I far off !
After getting to know about Herbalife from a good friend of mine, I finally understood that the company was more than just about weight lose. It was about helping people getting healthy and that is through Cellular Nutrition.
One of the reasons why I started using Herbalife was to lose weight. Believe me, to some my body looks perfectly fine. But to me and few CLOSE friends, its really not. Especially when it comes to performing. Every practice, few people would come up to me and praised me on my dance performances. Not just praising, they would also end up saying how I would look even better dancing on stage if I shed a few pounds or build more muscle mass. Moreover, most of our performances require us to only wear inners. Just my luck when all of the inners are a size zero-ish....well that's a little exaggerated. They fit women perfectly but not me. Out of all the guys, I am practically a mammoth! So that's reason number 1 why I decided to do a Weight Loss programme with Herbalife.
Another reason was because the age of my body internally was 34 ! Not 18, 19 or 20 but 34 ! Basically my organs functions for a body of a 34 year old ! That really shocked me and basically kicked my gear into joining the programme.
I had actually planned ahead on doing the programme so I had saved up some money to buy the products. My friend's Up Line knew money was an issue for me so he told me that I should just get the Formula 1, which was the Nutritious Mixed Soy Powder Drink since that IS the core product of Herbalife. He sat down with me and told me what I had to do:
1. Replace 2 of my meals with the Shake and have 1 normal meal per day
2. Exercise regularly
3.Drink PLENTY of WATER . 3 to 4 litres per day
4.Avoid processed food
5.Consume more veggies and less rice
I was not that big on the exercise part. I was lucky that I started the programme when I was preparing for 2 big events that same month. So I basically depended on my evening dance practices as my exercise as I had no free time to jog around campus or hit the gym.
By just following the simple steps my Up Line gave me and with guidance from my friend, I managed to lose 5kgs in a month !! My fat percentage went down, my water percentage,muscle mass went up. Even the age of my body internally slowly decreased to a 20 something. Even better, the inner/costume fitted me perfectly ! Friends were shocked to see me putting them on with ease, without any difficulties at all ! They even suggested that my testimonial in the future should be about being able to put on tight costumes.
I seriously do not regret at all about starting the programme. I have never felt better in my life!
I really do hope that one day in the future, I would be able to help others that are SERIOUS in losing/gaining weight and maintaining a healthy life style. Why not ? Instead of being healthy by yourself why not be healthy with the people around you ?
I really do mean it. If anyone out there that is currently reading this and is interested in losing/gaining/maintaining their weight, just e-mail me your details at king_noz93@hotmail.com or tweet me at IzzyOzzyYaw . I will do my very best in assisting you in getting what you want as your very own coach .

Lose Fat, Boost Your Ego ?
Lose weight now and achieve your dream of wearing below 0 size outfits. Lose weight now and get the girl or guy of your dreams. Shed those awful pounds,feel better about your new self,make others feel bad about themselves and plus, get yourself a fat ass ego !
Have you ever wonder why that guy or that girl or your aunty wants to lose weight ? For the obvious reasons, they want to live a better healthy life. They just want to feel better about themselves on the outside. They want to fit into skinny clothes that'll make them feel uncomfortable even when they've finally fit into it and the list just goes on and on.
Through out high school I have never been the skinny,slim or athletic type. I would say my body type back then would of been a normal lazy ass student type. Still I've notice my peers on how one day, they're body size would be average and a few months later, they would all of a sudden be super skinny, slimmer than they're usually are and wear new,smaller size school uniforms. Congrats for them for achieving it. I'll continue on clapping for them while the inner green monster inside of stops the ground out of jealousy.
But seriously, I am happy for those that have weight issues back then but now have lost the weight and be all happy and cheery because of their new body. But what I also notice for some is that as they lose weight, they're also gaining a considerably amount of boost for their egos. I mean, what gives ?
I've seen a friend or two that are now slimmer than before, laughing at others that are over weight. Making mean jokes and pulling all sorts of nasty pranks towards those innocent kids. Seriously ? You were once them, bullying them is like bullying yourself.
I mean, is there like a rule in some people's mind that as they leave their old fatty self, that they are permitted to make fun of others that have weight issues ?
"Hey Fatty !"
"OMG ! You're already fat, why are you making yourself fatter?!"
"Hey, I bet you can't fit into my pants!"
"You're still eating?!"
"You pig ! Stop eating"
"Here, I'm full, I'm sure you can finish mine right Garbage Truck?"
......are some of the words I've heard so far. Regardless be it in University or High School. Funny how in most University scenarios are similar to those of High School.
Though I usually throw a sentence or 2 towards my friend and he would do the same to me but we mostly do it just between as and only for jokes and to annoy one another cause that's what friends are for right ? Annoy the hell out of each other.
I really admire those that have lost a considerable amount of weight, living a healthy lifestyle and yet are able to encourage their friends to join in their life style. Like inviting them for daily jogs, going to the gym etc. And especially encouraging them even more when their friends are starting to slow down or wanting to give up lifting weights when at the gym. Being an inspiration to others to lead a healthy life style.
Back to the questions, why ? Why bully those when you were once them ? Why ? Aren't you afraid of the consequences of what might happen to them if you keep on doing so ? Will you be able to handle the guilt when your victim commits suicide because of your taunts ?
or am I the only one that have seen this act of cruelty ?

Stupidity is Shown. Respect ?
Adults. Parents, aunts, uncles, grand parents, the old lady that sells vegetables at the Sunday Market are some of the few people that exist that are categorized as adults. Remember when we were kids and we obey everything adults have to say, no matter how ridiculous or unfair it was ? Even if we were right at that time, adults still win. They'll just use the old "You're just a kid, you're too young to know any of these stuff".
But as we slowly transition into adulthood, we can think for ourselves. We can differ which one is right, wrong, fair or unfair. We have the rights to choose which of which we prefer. Still, this doesn't give us the right to make life changing decisions on our own without discussing it with an adult, especially our parents. Imagine how heart breaking it would be for them to have raised your for 18 years plus,giving you shelter, food,clothes having it all end with you running away with some foreigner working in some random bank. This is kinda runs off topic on what I actually wanted to talk about.
What I wanted to talk about is how some adults think that it is important for us to keep in touch with each other through social network. I mean, I do have a few of my relatives on my Facebook and follow a few of my cousins on twitter cause I don't know, sometime s I reject requests from my relatives, I block some of them on twitter and stuff for privacy purposes. I have my rights to do so. Heck, I don't even add my parents on Facebook. Yes ladies and gentlemen, my parents are not on my friend's list.
At first I didn't add them because I wanted my own space, I'm living in the same house as they are so I don't need to chat with them or comment on their pictures or like their "Cooking bla bla bla tonight" status. I can see clearly with my 2 eyes what they're doing. I don't need to update myself on what they're doing in their office or at the grocery store. Well my parents never update their status based on those marks. I know this because I stalk them through my sibling's account. But once I entered Uni, I realized that every time I fly back to town for mid semester break or whatever ridiculous breaks that exist in our lovely country, the gap of really missing your family is really huge, seriously. There is more meaning when hugging your parents at the airport when your only form of contact with them beforehand is through your phone. We even have more topics to talk about on our way back home from the airport. I think for me that is, I get even more closer with both of my parents because of not being connected with them with any of the social networks. Just imagine, now this is from my point of view, you're friends with your parents on Facebook and also friends with their friends. What would the conversation be like ?
*in the car*
Mother: I .......
A:Yes mom, I read your status
Father:Did you know......?
A:Yeah I favourite your twitter remember?
Mother: Honey, did you .....?
Father: Yeah read his status
*awkward 45 minute silence*
You get my point of view ?
I know some parents would say that they're doing so because they want to keep a watchful eye on their kids and monitor their activities and stuff. Now do you really think that if you're doing so because you wanted SPY on them that your kids would update the whole truth and not just half of the truth on their social networks ? Some post the whole truth, some post up half of it. Some just mash up all the colourful rainbows and unicorns to make up one huge hardly to detect false statement.
Some of my relatives have questioned why I don't add them or my parents on Facebook. I'll always reply with a "Why should I ?" . I almost always update my parents on the things that I do. Preparing for an upcoming performance I would text them. Studying for a quiz I'd tell them. Thinking I'm failing a paper I'd tell them. Wanting to quit half way,roll around on the floor kicking and screaming I would tell them. Taking up Herbalife I'd tell them. Losing weight I'd text them. Done with an event and etc. I think that about covers it on updating my parents on my activities. There was even this once where the security guard allowed us to go out late at night on our last day before break, I even told my mum about that. My mum replied with a "K, take care". Do I really want a mushy mushy comment from my folks on Facebook ? Um no !
My mum almost brought up that she couldn't see my pictures from Perth on fb since we weren't friends. I took out my iPod and showed her the pictures there. Take note that this post is not to encourage people to remove their relatives from Facebook or whatever. It is just an opinion.
Recently I was added into my relatives 'group' on whatsapp and I knew I did not wanted to partake in any of the chats due to finals ( 1 out of 2 reasons why I left the group ) so I left the group the second I was added. I knew that topics that have no connections to me or whatsoever will be discussed on the group. So I decided to leave it. Staying in the group would just be a waste of my phone's battery and also fill up my phone's memory. I didn't know there was going to be an 'issue' about it. Its just a group for goodness sake, anything important my parents would just update me through a DIRECT whatsapp or text or just give me a call. What you had for breakfast or where you shopped doesn't really effect my life.
A: Had this for breakfast *post picture on Whatsapp*
B:You should try this *post picture*
A:Drinking this too*post pic*
C:E when are we going to the movies?
B:Movies can I come?
A:Can I come as well E?
C:Hey E?
B:E?
W:Why isn't E responding ?
Sure, the purpose of the group is to update on important things or yeah if you want to show the people in the groups what you had for breakfast go a head. But seriously ? Talking to another person through the group is just dumb. People left, right, are saying " We don't need to know what you want to say to that said person" or "You can just Whatsapp them privately you know?" But they don't. You know why ? Cause you're an adult and 'kids' 'respect' adults. I left the group cause I know what is important to me. Yes family is important, but spams aren't. Everybody knowing everything about you, be it a relative or not, is not fun at all. Its almost like an overly attach girlfriend who monitors her boyfriend's every move and you know that never ends well for any of the involved party.

In A Nutshell : Trip to Perth
Those that are friends with me on Facebook would know that I've been away on a so called field trip to Perth with a few of my friends. We stayed there for a whole week. Sure, 7 days does sound long but in actual fact, 6 days is not enough for most of us. Basically because all 10 of us are crazy shop-a-holics !
The first 3 days of our trip was guided by the local travel agency in Perth, Jutawan Tours . The tour guide basically took us to all sorts of interesting places around Perth. From the Chocolate Factory to Mandura to the Fremantle Market where we spend almost half of our given allowance.
The weather there is pretty cold. One some days when I feel to lazy to bring my sweater, I try my best and bare with the weather. It is cold but at the same time refreshing....minus the effect it has on my skin, lips, hairs etc. Finding Halal foods in Perth isn't that difficult. There are lots of Arabic and Malay restaurants in Perth. So it wasn't a problem for us.
I was in total shock when I saw how most of the people there were so nice. Especially those that work in the malls. Their cheerfulness, manners and what not are on an entirely different level than those of most Malaysians. I entered this one store called Man To Man and the sales girl came up to me,greets me and even started a conversation with me. At first I thought she was doing this because she knew I was a tourist but when an Australian came in a different sales person came up to him and started doing the same thing. Not in just Man to Man, Cotton On, EB Games, Fremantle and even at the pharmacy. My friends would take pictures every five minutes and locals there would just approach us and offered themselves to take photos of us. Even when we were at Break Waters, this lady was busy looking after her kids when all of a sudden she approached us and offered to take our photos. I mean how often can you see that here right ?
Our apartment was nice. We had 2 so we divided into 2 groups. My apartment consisted of Ayman, Tyka, Syafa, Nab and myself. Everything was equipped as if we were staying in Perth permanently. From washing machine to a dryer,fridge, oven and a television which has crappy channels. Our favourite channels would have to be channel 32, especially when its night time.
Shopping was crazy as I had to bought stuff for people that sponsored my trip. Thanks to those that were involved. I also bought a few for my family. Everyone kinda regret spending too much money at Fremantle since there was this one store in the city, which also sells souvenirs at an even cheaper price. I seriously think I would of saved more money if I had bought souvenirs there instead. I was planning on not spending too much of my Australian money so that I could used the money to buy a new phone. In the end, I ended up with only 30 dollars.
Alia brought us to Synergy Park on our fourth day in Perth.... we walked to Synergy Park from Kings Park for about 15 to 20 minutes. Imagine walking for that long and the land you're walking on is fully covered by sand. I think most of my fat was burned there. She invited some of her friends who were Malaysians that study in Perth as well. Too bad I did not get the chance to ask them a few questions due to our schedule and weather. Synergy Park is a really nice place. It was packed with families. Children running around freely as their parents would just sit on the grass and watch their kids from a far. I was told that the criminal rates in the country wasn't that high so the parents did not worry about their children being kidnapped by other people and stuff. The place was packed with teens wearing school uniform on a weekend playing with lots of little children. I heard a conversation between a teen with an adult, they were doing some sort of charity where they take the kids out to play in the park and such. Each student gets to take care of 1 or 2 children I think. They would just play Frisbee, hide and seek, foot ball, chasing each other,play ground and stuff.
It was also my first time performing my solat in a field. Once I finished, a kid was asking his mother what we were doing and I heard the mother explaining it to him that we were Muslims and we were praying. No one disturbed us during our prayers. It really is nice to see that there's no racism between religions.
The only thing that was in my mind throughout the first 3 days of the trip was to spend as much time as I can with my friends as most of them will be graduating and I wont be able to see them on campus next semester *Insert sad face with tears here* .
Little did I know it was more than that. A senior of ours, to my surprise was also taking Herbalife ! I never really talked to her when she was still studying on our Uni in Kelantan. As soon as she was told that I was taking Herbalife as well, we instantly clicked and became close. Can I say "thank you Herbalife "? . My friend Shiha and I volunteered ourselves ( was dragged by our senior ) to join our senior in meeting up with her friends and other Herbalife users at Jacob's Ladder. A day before it, Alia ( senior ) kept on asking me whether or not I was up for the task. She keeps on explaining how the walk to Jacob's Ladder would be about 15 to 20 minutes and how the stairs are really really high and it is ! Believe me. I'm afraid of heights but I manage to run ( sarcasm ) up and down the stairs 4 times with Alia. I decided to join in because let's be honest, when will I ever get the chance to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning just to run up and down a freakishly tall flight of stairs and meet up with a bunch of cheery Herbalife people ? Sure a few of my friends are taking it as well but I can really tell the difference in the atmosphere between the users on my campus and also the users in Perth.
We attended a Herbalife Opportunity Meeting, HOM at the Hilton Hotel near St.George. It was amazing ! The people, the environment, the success stories. Not just me, even my friend's jaws dropped when they heard the stories from other users. The HOM was just so amazing that 2 of my friends decided to participate in Herbalife as well. Insyaallah they will succeed in it as well.
It get's better ! Alia's Up Line, Yuni and Chris invited us to their house in Perth for dinner ! Most of us went to their house, I mean who can refuse to free food right ? Especially when they were making home made pizzas, Spaghetti and oven baked chicken ! They were really nice and welcoming. They would signal each other using facial expressions when my friends and I started talking in dialect. They even gave each and everyone of us an evaluation. Sadly, I gained 1.2 kilos while I was in Perth ! Blame it on the delicious catering we had for every dinner. Listening to their stories,reason why they joined,their achievements and what not really makes me want to work even harder. But before I can really do the business, I need to really be disciplined . I need to really be a product of the products. Not just taking the shakes and quit half way. If I can lose 5 kg in a month, I am sure I can lose 5 more.
All in all, the trip to Perth was amazing and I hope I'll get the chance to go there once more. With a friend or two, in a group or maybe who knows maybe I'll go on a solo trip.

Why bother ?
Late night studies, digging through piles of notes, finishing a can of Malta after another,2 days gap between each paper...stress ! not to mention the petty drama that's currently going on..
Instead of making you guys yawn and doze off into slumber land, I wont talk about how I'm currently coping with stress.
Apparently you can barely trust anyone these days. Not even your closest of friends. Well minus the really good ones and the ones that are afraid of getting beat up by you.
One lie leads to another. One rumour leads to another. One drama leads to another major drama. Seriously, everything can be resolved by just shutting our mouth up, not asking questions,replying to people's tweet through unmentions and even just click the unfollow button on Twitter.
It does sound easy, but its not to be honest. I mean we all know this. Come on. Who wouldn't want to know the 'hot' gossip. Who wouldn't trash talk about others if others are doing the same thing right ? We know that by replying with an unmention it will cause even more drama and cause more attention but we still do so. Why ? Lust ? Greed ? Gluttony ? 7 Sins ? Perhaps ? Maybe ? Who knows. My bet is on the Lust,Greed and Pride.
If someone's talking bad behind your back, just confront the person, if not just tell your friend whom you can trust. Don't tell your friend and start trash talking about that person. Don't go out and spread bad rumours, whether it is true or false about that said person. That person talks bad about you, let them be. Pray for their well being and for yourself. People say God ignore prayers of those that have bad intentions for others. So instead of praying that the person falls down the stairs or gets electrocuted or rape by monkeys, why not just pray for the person to have a great life far from bad intentions. Don't pray sarcastically though.
Still, why do we never confront those that talk bad behind our backs.. Why ? Is it fear ? or is it because you're just too disgusted with that person that you don't even want to hear people saying their name?
If you think you're not involve in the so called 'war' good. Walk far far away from it. Don't go butting in and ask what. Asking is ok, just don't give your opinion at all. Your name will be used. People will used it to protect themselves. They don't care about you. They just care about themselves. Once asked, walk away. Go read a book or pray or something. Just don't do anything stupid that might get you sucked into the stupid war !
It seriously is a waste of time. Regardless whether he or she is your friend. The guy that created the "Your problems are my problems too" in friendship is an idiot. Just pray that everything goes well for your friend. That's the only thing you can do. The only good thing you can do. Other things will just get you involve and you'll just waste your time in trying to come out with an idea to free your friend from the drama.
I for once am done with all of these.. I pray to Allah everyday so that you guys can resolve whatever bullshit you guys have. From my point of view the one that should really be blamed is....mehh, my opinions don't count. It never was. From the beginning. To be honest, I can easily say "I TOLD YOU SO" to a bunch of people right now but meh who cares. They never gave a damn about me anyway. If you guys read this though..."i told u so". From the moment my advice were ignored, I gave up . I gave up a long time ago.
There are a few funny moments though when things like this happens. People start to act differently. All fake. Like "Oh I'm the type of person that will yell and get agitated easily" while I stand there and be all "Guurrrllllll u aint like that at awwwllllll!" deep inside my heart.
P/s: If you talk about how bad B is to A who is B's best friend, A will tell B. So don't. Just don't. Just shut up and eat an apple pie.

Why ? Lust ? Greed ? Gluttony ? 7 Sins ? Perhaps ? Maybe ? Who knows. My bet is on the Lust,Greed and Pride.
If someone's talking bad behind your back, just confront the person, if not just tell your friend whom you can trust. Don't tell your friend and start trash talking about that person. Don't go out and spread bad rumours, whether it is true or false about that said person. That person talks bad about you, let them be. Pray for their well being and for yourself. People say God ignore prayers of those that have bad intentions for others. So instead of praying that the person falls down the stairs or gets electrocuted or rape by monkeys, why not just pray for the person to have a great life far from bad intentions. Don't pray sarcastically though.
Still, why do we never confront those that talk bad behind our backs.. Why ? Is it fear ? or is it because you're just too disgusted with that person that you don't even want to hear people saying their name?
If you think you're not involve in the so called 'war' good. Walk far far away from it. Don't go butting in and ask what. Asking is ok, just don't give your opinion at all. Your name will be used. People will used it to protect themselves. They don't care about you. They just care about themselves. Once asked, walk away. Go read a book or pray or something. Just don't do anything stupid that might get you sucked into the stupid war !
It seriously is a waste of time. Regardless whether he or she is your friend. The guy that created the "Your problems are my problems too" in friendship is an idiot. Just pray that everything goes well for your friend. That's the only thing you can do. The only good thing you can do. Other things will just get you involve and you'll just waste your time in trying to come out with an idea to free your friend from the drama.
I for once am done with all of these.. I pray to Allah everyday so that you guys can resolve whatever bullshit you guys have. From my point of view the one that should really be blamed is....mehh, my opinions don't count. It never was. From the beginning. To be honest, I can easily say "I TOLD YOU SO" to a bunch of people right now but meh who cares. They never gave a damn about me anyway. If you guys read this though..."i told u so". From the moment my advice were ignored, I gave up . I gave up a long time ago.
There are a few funny moments though when things like this happens. People start to act differently. All fake. Like "Oh I'm the type of person that will yell and get agitated easily" while I stand there and be all "Guurrrllllll u aint like that at awwwllllll!" deep inside my heart.
P/s: If you talk about how bad B is to A who is B's best friend, A will tell B. So don't. Just don't. Just shut up and eat an apple pie.

Good Bye A+, A Average, Hello .... ?
Finals finally started for a few of my friends and myself today. My first paper was *drum rolls* Algebra. Retaking the subject this semester since I failed to passed the paper last semester now I have to face it again for finals.
Preparations went great I guess. Did a bunch of past year questions, shoved most of the notes from lectures up my nose to my brain, went to my lecturer's office every time its 4.30PM just to ask her a few questions and so on.
Practically panicked through out the whole preparations since I kept on referring to my notes and previous exercises every time I answer the past year questions. You know you're doomed when your paper is 2 days away and you're still referring to notes when doing exercises.
I panicked even more when a friend of mine asked me to study with her and teach her a few stuff a day before our paper which was yesterday. I covered all six chapters. Understand the concepts. But somehow when it comes to teaching others I start to be all forgetful and be all stressed out.
Alhamdulillah I was able to answer the finals with little complications. Little complications meaning good bye A+ and A average. Some of the questions were recycled from the past year questions so I was kind of happy with it. I'm pretty sure that I was able to answer most of the questions due to the frequent visiting to my lecturer's office, annoying her with dumb questions and such.
I knew the questions I was about to asked her were stupid and was prepared for her to throw stuff at me but she didn't went all demonic or satan at all. Not like she ever did. She listened to my questions, paused for a while , took a piece of paper and started explaining each of my question, one by one.
To be honest, I thought I was doomed yet again this semester for Algebra since I missed the two last classes where she literally finished two chapters. I was too afraid to asked for her notes for those last two chapter since I didn't attend those two classes. So instead I did the questions and referred to the text book. Once I grasped a bit of those two chapters then I pop myself into her office and explain to her about what I've understand and she would later correct me.
Overall I hope I PASS Algebra this semester.....

End for some, not for some
These past few weeks ( 2 weeks to be exact ) have been really hectic for me and the Cultural Unit Theatre kids. Everyone was busy preparing for our very own fashion week ! A first for our campus. I was lucky to only receive the task of getting gifts for the winners of the Fashionista competition , the VIPs and also for all of the great and lovely designers that sponsored some clothing line for the fashion show which was held on the 6th of March 2013. Everyone did a great job in doing their part in making the show a success. A few of the dancers including myself even performed for the event. Diamond and Gangnam Style. I never knew I would be dancing to such song as I kinda despise the song. All and all, it was a great event.
Before the fashion show we had another HUGE event the day before. That's right, the day before on the 5th ! Pre Graduation Dinner for all those seniors that were already in their final semesters. Just imagine doing work, running errands for the fashion during the day and practising our hearts out for the grand dinner. Even though we danced to only one song it was still a hectic week as we had to literally follow the choreography of Siti Nurhaliza's song. I forgot the name of the song. It was all worth it though since everyone in the hall that saw our performance gave us huge applause . The choir department had the largest applause as they did something new and unique from the very first time. I bet none in the audience knew they were capable of doing such performance. Im also grateful that none of the juniors were giving us such hard times as the dinner was actually our (my friends and I) very first event without a bunch of seniors walking infront of us.... minus Sabby who accompanied us to the venue. A big thank you to Shamil and Syafiq who sacrificed their sweat and time in doing our make ups and also helping us with our costume ! I'd look like a drag if it wasn't for those two.
The last event that we had to perform for the semester was held yesterday at a different hotel in Kota Bharu. Anugerah Kecemerlangan Mahasiswa. Basically a night for all those high achievers and excellent students. Not to mention the organizations, leaders and also the sportsmen of our campus. Basically the dance department danced to 5 songs. Tired ? yes ! Worth it ? YES ! I mostly dance because I enjoy it not because of the spotlight or anything but the feeling you get when someone from the audience says you did a good job is beyond everything else ( a hint of exaggeration ) . I was so focused on performing and not smiling for our second/third performance that I did not notice the camera zoomed in on my face ! Thanks to Nana for telling me so. I was also kinda happy that I finally get to perform in front of my peers from my faculty.
I had a lot of fun in training and performing these two events. I'm also kinda sad as these would be the last event I would be performing with some of my seniors. I won't be able to stand and dance on the same stage as them next semester. It's sad. It feels like it was just yesterday that I registered for this family and it was just yesterday that I stalked most of my seniors on Facebook, Twitter and even Google ! I will forever remember every single thing that the seniors have thought me from dancing, leading and also managing events ! Thank you so much to all of you !

That long huh ?
It has been a really hectic week for me. Quizzes, tests, dance practice, events and so on. You can see how stress I am by counting the pimples that have miraculously appear on my face !
Thank goodness I was able to answer most of them with ease though there were a few complication which later on forced me to look to the right then left then right again.
I was so caught up with everything that I forgot that today (1/2/13) was my late friend's 20th birthday....
Its been that long huh? 3 years ? I don't know how people count it but I'll just assume its been 3 years. It is really surprising how fast time flies. One minute you're packing all of your high school books into storage, the next you're in your campus room listening to songs on your laptop while updating your blog. I can only imagine the things we would talk about if you were still here...but you are in a better place now and thinking about it does make me happy.
Some random guy tweeted Happy Birthday to his friend and asked when is his turn to die and said love you and stuff ( in Malay ). I literally laughed out loud, thinking how funny it was for a friend to say such things on a friend's birthday. Even my friends join in the laughter but a few minutes later my brain stopped. I forgot that it was Yasmine's birthday today and for me to laugh at such things somehow makes me sick and sad.
Sure people don't really mean it when they say "Go hang yourself" or "Please die" or "Please kill yourself" but I don't know. It somehow gives a whole new deeper meaning to those that had the person they'e closed with taken away from them.
Sure a bunch of my relatives that I barely know had passed on but somehow the passing of my closed friends slowly taught me to appreciate life even more and not to waste it. I'm not saying that I'm not wasting time but at times I think to myself "Maybe I should not do this...or that...or even this. Instead I should attend this,do that,not miss this" and so on.
Doing things things you can't do. Not destroying myself like you told me too. Learning from the careless mistakes I have made...
Happy Birthday (l1/2/2013) Yasmine Ghazali .... Al-Fatihah... May you rest in peace dearest friend....

Bottomless Pit *sarcasm*
Who knew one whole day of no classes ( due to Holiday ) could be so dragging. A bunch of my classmates went out for an over night near Tok Bali. They say they wanted to release some stress. But to be honest, they are just doing it for the sake of eating some fresh bbq seafood. I don't even know the stress that my classmates are talking about since we have not face any of our tests yet. Our nearest test is like next Thursday. Though most of us were pretty stressed out for our 3rd Programming quiz. We discussed the answer after doing it and thankfully most of us got more than half of the questions correct ( above 10 ).
My roommate decided to tag along with the girls so I was left all alone in my room. It was okay though. I like peace and quiet. I wanted to follow them but since I already had 'future plans' made, I really need to learn on saving my dough. The only thing I did last night was having late dinner with Arif and Ikki with a few others at the food court. Even then I had to constrain myself from eating/spending too much. Ended up chowing down on a mashed potato and some fries. Who knew holding your drool inside your mouth while your friends devour Chicken Chop could be so difficult ! It seriously did not help that before I went out with them, I just finished watching an episode of South Park where 68% of the story line was about Kentucky Fried Chicken ..... while the other % was about weed and testicular cancer.
Yet another night and still nothing to do. Spent most of the day catching up on Private Practice but refusing to watch the final episode of the series ! Decided to go for a run thinking that it could get rid of my sinus. It didn't by the way.
I got bored of watching series online so I decided to arrange my table. Its not that messy. A few things need to be arranged properly that's all. Books should be placed together, colognes and perfumes should be placed at the sides etc. From arranging my table to hunting trash in my back pack. Yes I go to class with a back pack. No it does not make me feel young.
Not trying to brag but I think that I've changed a lot this semester considering I have less trash in my bag than I did last semester. All there was in my bag was receipts from banks and 7 Eleven. I also found a bunch of non-academic related stuff in my bag. Stuff that I really need every time I go to class.......

Tadaaaaa....
No joke. Most of the stuff in the picture are really helpful to me and *cough* those around me.
1) Body Shop's Amorito Eau De Toiilette
I started carrying this perfume around in my bag when a friend of mine from class said she liked the perfume I am wearing the other day. I don't know what's so special about the smell. The entire perfume literally smells of chocolate and makes me feel fat but at the same time it some how makes me feel all full. I usually use it on Mondays where I have 2x 3 hour classes and a 2 hour class with only an hour gap between the first and second class and since I don't have the chance to eat during the day, I would just spray this around a presto not hungry for 30 minutes.
2) Neutrogena's Moisturiser with 35 SPF
I started using Neutrogena since 2009 after having my check up with Dr.Goodless. He suggested on using Neutrogena Moisturiser for reasons I have long forgotten. All I know is that it absorbs quickly into my skin and also has the benefit of having an SPF. I use a different moisturiser in the morning and before bed. I mostly use this after done praying. I have another different moisturiser when I'm in my room. I have a total of 3 moisturiser. One in the morning and before bed, one for after prayers during lecture periods and another when I'm in my room. Its a lot, I know.
3) Body Shop's Cherry Blossom Hand & Nail Cream
Yes I use Hand & Nail Cream. Yes its Cherry Blossom and YES IT IS PINK ! But goodness gracious it smells wonderful ! The only reason I bought it was because my sister has one and we start the semesters at different time so I told myself that I just had to get one and so I did. Later on it became a permanent resident in my bag due to its nice scent. Basically I use the cream and rub them all over my hands after I finished some 'business' in the toilet. I am that insecure/paranoid. I am those people that think to themselves "What if they can smell toilet water or even worse !". SO everytime I am called to the toilet I bring this baby along with me.
4) Body Shop's Vitamin E Lip Care
Yes I have a lot of stuff from body shop. They smell nice and really work so back off ! I have tried countless amount of lip care product from Nivea to Nivea to Vaseline etc And none of them worked for me. Yes You've heard it. Vaseline does not work on my super dry lips. Before I bought this I've read a lot of articles on model's beauty tips ( embarrassed ) and I found one article about how they easily get dry lips due to the constant travelling and being exposed to the cold air. This one model said for long hour flights she would break Vitamin E capsules and just spread them across her lips before she sleeps and her lips would not be dry when the plane lands. So when I was at a store with my mum, I decided to get the Vitamin E Lip Care and test the theory out. I have read countless articles on how Vitamin E this, Vitamin E that but seriously, I was so shock at how effective the Lip Care worked on me. My lips stayed moist for like 4 5 hours ! It really is a life saver to the length of immediately getting a new one when my old one was gone/missing/stolen by a gremlin.
5) Tiger Balm Ointment
I didn't see how this ointment was useful at all back when I was in school but during the orientation week of University, this ointment seriously help me get through that horrible week. I would either spread some on my nose if they were block and near my eyes if I feel all sleepy due to the boring talks that were being held. Until today, I still use it for those two reasons. Especially during those early 8 o'clock classes.
6) Watson's Invigorating Wet Tissue
I have the wet tissues in Coral, Green Tea, Lemon and also the one in my bag which is Lemon Grass. I have no idea why I have wet tissues in my bag. I rarely use them. I only bought them cause of the different scents and how cute the packaging was ! I really should go and get some packed DRY tissues in my bag.
Well, that's all of my rambling for tonight. Gonna go and watch the final episode of Private Practice and cry some more later.

I-Techq's Charity Run with the Orphanage
Finally, I have been waiting for this day (19/1/13) for more than 2 weeks now. Our campus Statistic Society, I-Techqs held a charity run with a bunch of kids from the orphanage today. One of the reasons why I decided to join the event was mainly for charity. I mean, its not everyday an event like this just pops up out of nowhere right ? But still, it took me 2 or 3 days to decided whether I should join the run. In the end, I made a good choice.
Woke up super early today around 6 o'clock in the morning. The view from my window was pitch black. Even though I still had a few hours to spare in bed, I decided to wake up early so that I can see how my friends handle the pre-event work. I arrived at the event grounds around 7.30 in the morning. I was the first participant to arrive. Everybody else is practically sleeping in their comfy beds while I just stood there at a corner trying really hard not to die due to hypothermia.
Everyone from the society wore red, coincidentally I wore red for the event. Well more of a magenta kind of red. It wasn't long ( an hour after I arrived ) until other participants arrived. I was surprised that early of guys arrived first before the girls did. I literally lost hope of getting first place for the event since most of the guys that arrived later after me were all those typical athlete, sports kind of guy. A friend of mine asked me whether I could get top 3 or 5. I was standing at that time so I started pointing at the rest of the guys that were sitting behind my friend. I told him how I have not a slight chance of making it in the top 30 with all the guys sitting there being more energised and fit than I am. Guess what? Most of them heard what I said and they laughed. Really loud. I didn't see it as something to be embarrassed about so I laughed with them. One guy in particular even went up to me and said to run for fun....the same guy ended up first place.
But yeah in the end I run merely for fun. There was no way I could catch up to Pali or the guys from my floor. So I just enjoyed the moment. Most of the moments consisted of me yelling loudly at people saying to watch out for in coming cars and jokes about how the next check point is far away from where other people are. Even though I did not know what I got for the race, I am just proud that I was able to finish the race without puking or shouting vulgarity words out in the open due to exhaustion.
After the race there was booths set up by 'ProStar' where we can do health check ups. Height, weight, BMIs, Nicotine count, Blood Sugar level etc. I decided to do all of them instead of going back to my room early. Basically I weighed ** kilos ! and my height was 1**. My body mass index was okay though, a 26.2. I had 0% Nicotine in my body which surprised my lecturers a lot. I cannot believe that they thought I smoke cigarettes ! DId 33 sit ups and was able to stretch as far as 43 cm for the health screening. At the end of doing all sorts of ridiculous health related stuff, I thought to myself I just wasted my time and all I got was this paper indicating my results. I got an 'excellent' for the health screening test by the way.
At the end of the day, prizes were given out to the top 3 runners. There was a bunch of categories, each divided into boys and girls.University students, kids and also University staff. To be honest, it was kind off funny how my first semester statistic lecturer won first prize for the staff category. I didn't bother paying much attention for the closing event until the mc announced my name all. My friends were yelling at me in a mean way to go to the front. I was busy texting my friend and did not know what was happening, so I got infront of everyone not knowing why I was called when all of a sudden a girl came up and gave me a hamper full of junk food which I have consumed 45% of it. Apparently I have an ideal body mass index so they decided to give me something.
The kids were not alone though. There was also a foreign exchange student from Germany, Stefen. Most of us thought he was a foreign English teacher at first. All of the participants minus the kids were surprised when Stefen started speaking in Malay. He literally spoke in Bahasa Melayu through out the whole event ! The only word he didn't know or forgot was 'Selesa' so I translated it to him as 'Comfortable'. The kids, boys and girls are really fond of him. After everything was over, everyone gathered around him and asked him how the race was and stuff.
The event was full of laughter mostly done by the kids as they do have lots of energy compare to us grown ups. Through out the fun filled event, full of joyous laughter and smiles, I almost forgot that these kids have no parents. They look just like any other normal kids but somehow they look happier than others. Even though some were a bit rough around the edges, I can see the strong bonds between the kids. I think my eyes went all watery for a bit. I mean, I seriously cannot imagine myself in their position and seriously have no idea how they feel. Some people are just blessed by God differently than others. Some you can see it now while others Insyaallah it will happen in the future.
Overall the event was great. The committee from both I-Techqs and ProStar did an awesome job in conducting the event. Hoping to see more events like this in the future.

At the end of doing all sorts of ridiculous health related stuff, I thought to myself I just wasted my time and all I got was this paper indicating my results. I got an 'excellent' for the health screening test by the way.
At the end of the day, prizes were given out to the top 3 runners. There was a bunch of categories, each divided into boys and girls.University students, kids and also University staff. To be honest, it was kind off funny how my first semester statistic lecturer won first prize for the staff category. I didn't bother paying much attention for the closing event until the mc announced my name all. My friends were yelling at me in a mean way to go to the front. I was busy texting my friend and did not know what was happening, so I got infront of everyone not knowing why I was called when all of a sudden a girl came up and gave me a hamper full of junk food which I have consumed 45% of it. Apparently I have an ideal body mass index so they decided to give me something.
The kids were not alone though. There was also a foreign exchange student from Germany, Stefen. Most of us thought he was a foreign English teacher at first. All of the participants minus the kids were surprised when Stefen started speaking in Malay. He literally spoke in Bahasa Melayu through out the whole event ! The only word he didn't know or forgot was 'Selesa' so I translated it to him as 'Comfortable'. The kids, boys and girls are really fond of him. After everything was over, everyone gathered around him and asked him how the race was and stuff.
The event was full of laughter mostly done by the kids as they do have lots of energy compare to us grown ups. Through out the fun filled event, full of joyous laughter and smiles, I almost forgot that these kids have no parents. They look just like any other normal kids but somehow they look happier than others. Even though some were a bit rough around the edges, I can see the strong bonds between the kids. I think my eyes went all watery for a bit. I mean, I seriously cannot imagine myself in their position and seriously have no idea how they feel. Some people are just blessed by God differently than others. Some you can see it now while others Insyaallah it will happen in the future.
Overall the event was great. The committee from both I-Techqs and ProStar did an awesome job in conducting the event. Hoping to see more events like this in the future.
Closing event. You can see which part of the crowd are the University students and which are our special guests for the day. (Hint:University Students=Texting 24/7)
Food was great. Stefen in the left side of the picture sitting next to Danny. The kids in the middle talked non-stop. It was hilarious.

Decisions. Decisions and a Back Up Plan
I was inspired to write today's/tonight's post this afternoon a few hours ago while I was in my room with my room mate sitting next to me. He was busy multitasking serving the web and also on the phone with his younger sister who just finished high school (SPM).
Those that attend public University knows well about the UPU system where we need to get a unique pin number and go online, fill in our information and choose the courses we want and which university we want to attend to. My choices was heavily influenced by my results and also by a few outside whisperers but at that time I knew what I wanted to take. You can say I was pretty confident at that time. Even though it was not fully my own will that wanted to take Statistics but I still did some research on the programme and the different job opportunities that is in stored for me once I graduate from the Diploma programme.
I was really surprised when my friend asked his sister what she wanted to take or fill in as her first choice. I literally can hear her saying the words " I don't know". I remember giving my room mate a weird look. Accountancy ? No. Banking? No. I even step inside their conversation and suggested English. My friend just laughed at it and told her sister of how awful her English was let alone to take a full 3 year programme on the subject/language.
An aunt of mine said that the reason she is sending my cousin to do his A-levels is because he is not sure of what to take. In some institutions you can actually choose the subjects you want to take for your A-levels. You can mix Biology and Chemistry with Arts and Economics. Study English literature while also doing logical mathematics. Some institution in the country though has classified their A-level programmes into Science and Business/Economics programmes which kinda takes away the meaning of "the right to choose the subject". It is pricey to do A-levels in our country since most of it are done in private colleges/universities.
If you cannot afford to go to private institutions you can just attend a public institution and just do a foundation or a diploma programme. If you are unsatisfied with your diploma programme you can just quit half way and switch to a different programme of your liking or just finish the current diploma programme you are in and switch faculties/programmes when you apply for your bachelor programme. It really does sound like you are wasting your time. A few months back I thought it was too but then I realised that what's important is the things you learn along the way. I mean sure I might not take a degree in Statistics or work in a Statistic Department in the future but when will I ever get the chance to study about Forecasting, Quality Improvement, Regression and other Statistical subjects that I can barely keep up with ?
Some people might say that you need passion in order to do something. Sure that is true. But passion alone wont do. A lot of effort and hard work is needed as well in order to succeed. To be honest, I think the latter is greater than passion. Sure a person can still succeed with only hard work and effort but with no sort of passion at all as long as he takes it in a positive way. Not seeing things as being forced on by others. Doing it for the experience is a good example in receiving things in a positive way. This semester I am seriously trying my best to look every inch of the subjects I am taking in a positive way and being grateful to all of the help that I am getting.
I will literally not survive my Tools For Quality Class if my senior had not gave me her manual. Full of colourful notes written on every page, who wouldn't get excited to study?
My advice is to always have a back up plan. If your results make you unqualified for your dream career try and look into a different field. If you want to work in the medical field but got a C in Biology, why not try and take a course in the plantation field of Engineering. Who knows, you might just like it. If you still want to pursue your dream career try to find an alternative route in order to reach it. You can do a diploma in Science or take Science subjects for your A-levels and apply for a medical related programme once your are done.
Also do a lot of research. Not only on the careers you want to take but also other working fields where you might never think of working in. I mean hey, what person below the age of 18 has heard of the Department of Statistics ?

Joker Knows No Emotion (Bully)
Jokes. Teasing. Everybody does it. Who doesn't ? Sure its fun to pull of a few pranks, do harmless jokes/teases for laughs but when it goes to far man does it hurt.
To be honest, I was going to do a totally different post than what you people are about to read. Mostly about the things I did this weekend but the 'issue' popped into my mind all of a sudden while I was busy doing the laundry about a few hours ago and I went back and forth on whether I should be writing about it at all. I mean, the person that did this might think that it was only a harmless joke. It is at first though, but the persistent of this human being on doing it over and over again just made the harmless joke into a real pain in the ass (emotions).
For those that don't know. I am from Sarawak. I am a Malay. I am 20. I am Muslim. The look on people's faces when I tell them that I am from Sarawak is priceless I can't lie about that. A few other don't even believe me until I show them my identification card or speak in dialect on the phone .... in front of them.
Jokes. I love them to death. Minus those countless amount of comedy show/competition they keep on airing on television. I surprise myself when I can make jokes out of thin air and also happy/pleased when others that hear it for the first time including myself laugh after hearing the joke. Not just joking, but I also tease here and there. Usually my teasing involves about a funny mistake that a person have made before but I don't think I have gone over board ( who knows ) with my teasing since my target in the end laughs at it as well.
Well you know what they say, it is fun to make fun of others or when others are the target but it sure as hell ain't fun when you're the target or jokes, teasing etc. I usually just shrug it off if some random person teases me though if a person I knew well like a close friends or junior I'd do my very best and analyse their teasing/jokes and try to find at least something that truly is funny. If I can't find anything humorous about it, I would just put on a fake smile or laughter. I kid you not, a friend of mine once said that I have absolute control over my body language.
But the ones that I cannot stand are people that keep on repeating the same script ( teasing ) towards you over and over again. Even after explaining to them on how their joke does not make any sense at all since it has so much error in the basics.
A few nights ago, a guy that knows me for a few years gave me a surprised look when he heard I was a Muslim. Like seriously. We go to the same activities. We have mutual friends. We hang out a few times. Why give me the look. Heck we even prayed next to each other a few times. I knew he was joking so I just laughed it off and gave him a light tap on the shoulder. Then man was he on a roll after that. He started asking whether I was of an ethnic group from my state. After that he started saying my name where insted of saying 'Bin" (for Malays) he said "Anak Lelaki" which if I am not mistaken is for Indians. Again I just laugh it off but explained to him that Ibans do not use "Anak Lelaki but just the "Anak" part. And again he said "Oh so you're Izzat Anak ???" That's when it had gotten over board. A friend sitting nearby was laughing a bit but then stop when the joke/question was continuously being asked over and over again by the same person. He even continue asking the same question on our way back to our room.
I knew at this point the jokes, teasing has somehow turn into bullying without the person doing it knowing at all. People say that 'teens' in school bully to hide their own insecurities. Family problems, weight issues, jealousy etc. Bullies make themselves feel good by downing other people. Knowing that others feel as miserable as they are or even more makes bullies feel like they are better than others.
Instead of being depressed due to bullying and such, why not just ignore the lad and think about the good thing that has happened to you. Caring to much about what bad things bullies have to say is just a waste of your precious time. So that is what I am going to do. I wont be ignoring that person but if he brings up the same old joke, my only response is to walk away.
Remember, bullies/jerks bully cause they are full of insecurities.
