Selamat Hari Merdeka Malaysia
Tanggal 31, bulan 8, 57..hari yang mulia, hari bahagia -Sudirman
Lagu-lagu patriotik Malaysia boleh kedengaran di mana-mana jua, bukan sahaja menerusi televisyen, malah melalui siaran radio. Ini hanyalah disebabkan oleh hari merdeka Malaysia yang kian tiba.
Satu-satunya sebab saya ‘memblog’ dalam Bahasa Malaysia kali ini adalah kerana saya selaku seorang anak Malaysia yang bangga, ingin menyumbang kepada Negara ini dan salah satu caranya ialah menerusi pemblogkan dalam bahasa tanahair kita iaitu Bahasa Melayu. Selain itu, saya ingin menyertai dan menjadi sebahagian daripada kempen yang dianjurkan oleh ‘rakan seperjuangan’ saya dalam mengingati hari yang penuh makna ini. Oleh itu, mari kita semua menyokong kempen ‘memblog’ dalam BM ini.
Perasaan saya sebagai anak Malaysia? Memang tidak boleh dinafikan lagi bahawa selain perasaan bangga, ia masih lagi perasaan bangga. Saya menghargai, juga berterima kasih kepada Tunku Abdul Rahman dan rakan-rakan seperjuangannya yang telah berganding bahu tanpa mengenal penat dan lelah dalam usaha membebaskan tanahair kita daripada naungan penjajah asing. Ia tidak mungkin dicapai juga sekiranya kaum Malaysia pada masa itu tidak bersatu-padu. Keupayaan untuk mengekalkan perpaduan kaum inilah yang telah menjadi perjanjian ataupun asas kukuh di mana penakluk-penakluk asing bersetuju menyerahkan pentadbiran kepada Tunku.
Kita juga tidak patut memandang ringan dan megabaikan jasa pendekar-pendekar yang telah berkorban untuk Negara semasa peperangan mempertahankan tanahair kita pada satu waktu dahulu. Peristiwa May 13 masih boleh dirasai kezalimannya in antara segelintir rakyat Malaysia yang menempuhinya. Ia merupakan satu peristiwa yang mengingatkan kita bahawa pertempuran antara rakyat boleh membawa padah dan kesannya adalah sangat ditakuti oleh semua. Peristiwa dashyat ini tidak seharusnya berulang lagi.
Juga, adalah menjadi satu tindakan wajar kerajaan di mana kita semua diberi peluang untuk menuntut ilmu di sekolah kerajaan dan setiap orang mempunyai kebebasan, dalam kata yang lain, tidak diskriminasikan apabila memohon untuk perkerjaan yang diingini. Selain itu, tidak saya menyedari kepentingan hari merdeka ini sehinggalah pensyarah saya, ketika saya menuntut di university, membangkitkan kesedaran kami semua dan mengingatkan kita betapa kita harus bersyukur berpeluang menetap di sebuah negara yang berbilang kaum dengan penuh hamorni. Bekas Perdana Menteri kita, Dr Mahatir, pernah ditanyai oleh perdana menteri negara-negara jiran yang lain, rahsia yang membolehkan rakyat yang terdiri daripada pelbagai kaum hidup bersama tanpa megira bangsa and agama serta isu-isu perkauman atau perselisihan yang berpotensi mencetuskan peperangan. Jadi, tidakah kita patut berbesar hati atas kurniaan seperti ini?
Baiklah, saya akan mengakhiri blog ini dengan melaungkan dua perkataan ini daripada lubuk hati “Malaysia Boleh” dan semoga Negara Malaysia kekal masyhur and aman buat selama-lamanya! Kibarkan Jalur Gemilang dan kobarkan semangat patriotik kita, rakyat Malaysia!!

Just Another Phase
“Just another phase that I’ll go through, this time I’m sure I’ll lose you (my long sleeping hours during weekdays), place my bets on all the jacks and queens, the probability being that it seems…”-Chorus taken from the song ‘Just another phase’ in the Moffatts’ album, Submodalities.
As you can tell by now, as the post title and the introduction lines suggest, I’m in another phase of life ALREADY ;p
After 6 years in primary school, 5 years in secondary school, 4 years in tertiary education, what has it all come down to? I have now officially stepped out from the life of a student, all the education I have gone thru boils down to the real thing now. Sometimes I tend to forget the purpose of me going to school studying though, we study study and study, forgotten to ask ourselves why so. We got so drowned in the world of studying juz for the sake of exams and to get as many As as we could. Then one day, we come to realize to study is actually to equip or to prepare us for the working life, the real thing! Damn.
My new life started last Tuesday, exactly one week ago. I’ve been accepted into Sudong Sdn Bhd, it’s a subsidiary of Singtel, so basically we’ll juz address our company as Singtel. It’s a Singaporean telecommunication company located on the 3rd floor in Senyum Super in Melaka raya, with I heard 400 employees in this malacca call center alone, 19000 in asia region.. To my dismay, the entire workplace is huge and beautiful. It’s beautiful in the sense that the office is designed with a touch of IKEA styles furnishing. It has alwiz been the kind of interior designs that I really admire :)
Is this my ultimate dream job? Ahem….well, not really I would say. But then, Kelly Services (I was being told that its an agency only major client companies can afford its fee for each successful accepted job applicants) called me up one day, asking if I would like to work in Sudong as a CSO (customer service officer). Me, already being an unemployed graduate for about 2 months…thought it’s worth a try, so I agreed to go for the interview. I mean why not. The interviewers asked if I’m applying for jobs in other companies and I told them I have yet to get any reply from Melilea International for the HR assistant manager position (fuiyoh I also couldn’t belif I actually went for that interview of such a high position) It’s not that I dun have the confidence or smth, but I’m only fresh grad la wei hahaha. Anyway, I needed to confirm with Sudong asap, so I called Melilea up but according to them, no final decisions have been made yet. I made a call to my agency and talked to the branch manager (I saw her b4 during my training in Vishay, she deals with my vishay supervisor). I asked the branch manager for advice on whether to accept Sudong’s offer or to continue waiting for Melilea. She actually told me that she had also sent applicants to Melilea, and experienced ones. I knew what she meant adi by then, so I told her I’m ok with Sudong..she confirmed with Sudong on my behalf and returned to me with good news :) The basic pay is reasonable enuf…so again, why not?
For the first 3 weeks, training will be provided and it’s a paid training. We were brief about the company’s standard operating procedure (SOP), then the products and services, the later will be the system training (I think). It has been interesting so far..
Fyi, in any training programmes, there’d be activities in between that are related to certain topics. We had group activities and personal games. I won most of the personal games though kekeke…I’ll blog a lil about them later and also about the kind of jobs I’d luv to keep ;p
The frens I have befriended with are really nice and frenly ppl. There are 14 of us in this batch, with only 4 chinese, including myself. I spend most of the time with them, though I do borak-borak with the malay frens as well in the classroom. 3 of my Chinese frens…one is a graduate from FIST, a married gal who can mix with us surprisingly well, and a same age guy. This guy is one super gentleman, I tell you. He would open the doors for the gals (all the time), make sure we cross the road safely, and stuff. A very helpful guy in nature. Another thing, the training started on Monday but I only managed to go in on Tuesday as I needed to do my employment medical check-up and signing of contract with the agency on Monday. Missed, but not much hehe.
The worse thing about it is the location. After sending my bro to SFI every morning, they will drop me there which is fine. To go home, I told my parents that they would only need to fetch me from Sentral. Which means, I’m taking a bus to Sentral everyday after work, with an Indian fren. As if I’m working in KL, need to take public transports sial..hahaha. I told my fren, siewlin once that I can’t imagine working in KL like that, but hey you see, I’m doing it now man. Ish~ Well, I’m cool about it. I only need to remind myself that this is juz for the beginning stage, susah dulu senang kemudian, so now susah sikit pun tak pasal la ;p So if anybody happens to pass by senyum at 6pm, gimme a lift la, can ar? *wink* Wahahaha~
I’m sorry if we have chatted online and I didn’t tell you about me becoming a working gal already. I wanted to inform everybody at one go actually…here! Anyway, thanks for ‘accompanying’ with me throughout my job hunt journey. Well, it has slowed down a lil due to this job acceptance but the effort still continues, if you ask me. Maybe it’s juz that it’s no longer as intensive as b4. I’m still looking around for my dream job hehe and tomorrow I’m going to attend another interview in melaka raya as well, during my 1 hour lunch break. This is a much better one, salary and job title wise. Let’s see how it goes ppl~
Oh yeah, Melilea International juz called me telling me that they think a marketing position would suit me better. Huh??? Let’s juz say they din really answer my question about that HR position. Good thing I found out was that the marketing job doesn’t require me to hit sales quota or anything like that, instead it’ll be like an indoor one, like event planning and stuff. Need to find out more coz this SEEMS like the kind of job I want to see myself doing (planning of product launching, giving presentations to client companies coz I’ve overcome the fear of public speaking and I’m starting to enjoy it very much, then coming out with product promotion ideas, looking for strategic business spot...) You know, the marketing 4Ps, you get the idea now :) Soooo, this is why I’m gonna get more job info by by attending the arranged interview on 3rd Sep.
To those who are working already, All The Best and those who haven’t, I wish you Good Luck and may you be hired for the jobs you like. Like what my fren, LKS said to me, dun rush, coz if you get a job that you dun like, you won’t enjoy it and feel happy. Ok ciao...Phew~

Post Convo-A new life kick-off
After the convocation ceremony and photo takings, my frens asked if I would like to join them for lunch so I did. We had McD in Ayer Keroh. Towards the end of the lunch session, we somehow started to talk and lauf really loudly and that got us some attentions from the other tables ;p Who cares anyways~
One topic was about the cheer. Remember I said when you’re famous among ur frens, you’ll be getting loud cheers? Yeah there’s a fren known as Tyco to us all, they suggested that when he graduates nx year and go on stage to receive his scroll, frens should go “TYCO!!!” Plus to make it interesting, everyone must ‘kao tao’ while saying it.
(repeat bowing). That demonstration was damn funny. You can imagine how it’ll be like.
Then, after that cheer, those who took part in the cheering will be handcuffed and being led to the police station for joining an illegal ajaran sesat party “The Tyco Association”. Wahahahahaha :)) Newspapers the following day will be selling like hot cakes then.
I dunno if you readers find it funny or not in the first place coz to me, it was. That time I was laufing so badly I already had tears filling up my eyes and was soo close to have them flow out. I think my fren who was sitting in front of me should notice that. Goodness….Besides, my stomach was in pain already but still I wasn’t able to stop. Damn, tak senonoh langsung, ishh. I’m so sorry.
The gals went back while me and the guys went to the campus as a fren needed to return the robe and collect his scroll. Well, the one we received on stage was juz the cover aka dummy scroll. Another fren suggested to take pic at one of the mmu nicest spots and this is it. Btw, sorry for the blurry and 'cacated' images, I dunno how to rezise it to make the photos fit to my blog and at the same time gives me clear ones.
Garbed in my swishy black robe, posing under the so-called nicest spot in mmu campus. Well I think so too :)
Mirror mirror on the wall, who gave me this flowers outside the hall? (Apa rhyme ini man?) Anyway, some wanted to know, so I’ll tell you now. Who believe it’s from a guy, hands up. Who thinks it’s from my ex-crush (I saw him when I went back to return my robe the nx day though hehe), let me see your hands in the air. Who thinks my bought for myself, dun lauf!! Hahahahaha, siao, nola, I’m not so desperate ok. Well, it’s from my dearest dad and mom :) Ala, u think I got so lucky ar got guys wanna give me flowers! But, but….I know when that time comes, it would be perfect…. Hmm hopefully. Another fairy tale waiting to come true.
Convo present from Allen, Ashwin, CheeWee, Chris, Gary, Glenn, SiewLin, SiewHar and Vivien. It’s a ball pen, engraved with my name. Thank you all for it, I shall think of you ppl whenever I see it :)
Me and my four dedicated bodyguards, hehe. (The 5th one on-leave la, kena potong gaji la cam ni) One of them is the pro photographer in disguise. Or maybe I should say the photographer cum bodyguard…yeah...that’s better!
You guys are wonderful. Sorry and thanks a lot of tolerating my photo session in campus...I know the weather was killing you but thanks thanks thanks..I dunno what else I can say beside thanks man. Thanks to YM for being the photographer and Allen for you your scroll’s cover. You know, I felt sooooo lucky and so thankful to have u ppl there, seriously! Guess my frens would envy and wish to be me having a bunch of frens following taking pics ;p That’s why I wanted this shot, so that if I lose my memory someday it’ll reminds me I used to have these 4 ‘bodyguards’ for a day. Wahahaha…..I appreciate it, thank you!
To those who came, THANK YOU SO MUCH, you dunno how much it means to me! Thanks for your time, your good wishes and everything. And also thanks to those who couldn’t come but still care to sms me or call :) Thanks for the presents, not forgetting those belated ones. Oh yeah, need to thank the one who came but couldn’t face me as well. Thanks to Siewlin for helping me to make that call. You all know who you are..
Friends like you all, where to find man, hahaha!!! Muaks~~

My Convocation-The Walk Of Honour
Caution: Reading this post will take some time. I put them in diff color, hope it will assist you in reading. Enjoy!
I got up around 5am. Had fast breakfast and spent the rest of the minutes putting on my ‘baju kurung’(malay traditional costume) and my make up. Left my house with both my parents around 6 smth and we reached Dewan Seri Negeri before 7am. The big day was still young, the sky was dark but the best parking spots were all taken. Wht? Anyway, parents arrival time was from 7am to 8.20am. We’re afraid that we might not be able to get good parking space, so we went there early…that’s why.
Bumped into Joanna and we went to the auditorium to get ourselves registered. Then we were all asked to stay in there. After a while, we were led into the convo hall juz opposite the auditorium. The hall and the lightings were beautiful. There was also music played by some malay musical instruments like the ‘kompang’, ‘rebana’, ‘gong’ and others. These Malay traditional tunes tinged the westernized event with a Malaysian Flair. Awesome..
Loud clapping filled the hall upon the arrival of Our chancellor, Dr. Siti Hasmah. Then a grand procession of academics filed down the aisle led by a man carrying our university emblem. The ceremony started with the presentation of E-Bee, some digital animation show created by FCM students. After that was the speech giving by the chancellor. There were a total of 3 faculties in my session. The presentation of scrolls started with FCM, followed by my faculty FBL and lastly FET.
We all were really nervous when its our turn to go on stage hehe. We can’t help straightening our robes and adjusting our mortarboards (in lay men term...square hats) again and again hehe. I guess it was becoz we’re gonna be featured on the big screen and we wanted to look our very best for our proudest moment. Plus, we’re also afraid of our mortarboards that might drop off our heads, or tripped over our robes, and stumbled on stage in front of so many ppl. But it was fine with me :) I juz gotta made sure I walked very very carefully. Thankfully, everything went really well. I remembered that every second, from the moment they scanned my smart card, and my name was mentioned, the staff telling me when to start walking, then I greeted my Dean, Dr Leo Desmond Pointon, walking along the red carpet which I called it ‘The Walk Of Honour”, the lil cheer I get from the audience hehe, shaking the chancellor’s hand, and she congratulated me while I received my long-awaited, after years of hard work and determination, hard-earned scroll from her hand..smiling so sincerely ;) When I walked back to my seat, I can see my dad at the back, standing and giving me a wave. I’m glad to make them proud, oh yeah ;p I guess there aint many times in this 22 years I did things that they would feel proud for. But I do know they’re the proudest parents when I received my BM Penulisan Trophy back in Primary 6.
It was a formal ceremony and I thought we shouldn't cheer or even make any sound thru out the ceremony. But that wasn't really the case. The hall reverberated with cheers during the presentation of the scrolls to the grads. The popular ones would be getting loud cheers from their frens on the floor, ie the intensity of the cheer you get indicates how popular or how well-known you are in university. I guess some are popular for their good grades, some for their looks and some for being big time jokers/'crappers'. Wahahaha..so if u wanna get big cheer from your frens, be famous! Or you might wanna consider letting yourself be the very last person to receive the scroll for the session hahaha. And, if you like some gal/guy, make sure the frens you told won't be shouting her/his name when you go on stage man. That happened for a few grads. I remembered a gal went on stage and her frens shouted "Jonathan". Haha her parents must be wondering since when their daughter's name has been changed to Jonathan. Wahahaha….
*This reminds me of the 'Ajaran Sesat' story and I adi feel like laufing now…ctrl~ Will tell u later on*
It was such a touching moment when we sang Permata Dunia, our university’s song. I recalled the time we used to sing it during orientation days, 4 years ago. Mannn…I didn’t dare to recall much, instead I juz sticked my eyes to the big screen coz I din wan to end up end up with tears. Trust me, I could have. Anyway, in the mmu video they’re playing, there was one scene of my club’s president (Creative Arts Club) receiving the Malaysian Book Of Record award for our longest record breaking rangoli from the person in charge.Mana muka gua? Wahahaha…me and Joanna were feeling so proud of it too though we’re not featured in there hehe.
The ceremony ended at about 11.30am. I got a few msg-es before we came out, telling me that they have arrived. But this particular one made me happy coz he initially din give me any confirmation whether or not he can make it. "Fren: Hey Im here already, waiting for u outside ;p"
First, I met up with my parents. They congratulated me.
My beaming parents and me.
After that I went to meet my cousins and other frens. Some frens from Accounting and Epsilon who couldn’t make it there, have informed me earlier though. I din stop glancing around looking for that fren though. I failed to see him around but later I got this sms.
Fren : I saw you, you look very happy. Congratulations.
Me: Come to the main entrance here, quick.
Fren: I have to go to work already. You look very pretty today. Enjoy urself.
I tried to call, but the line couldn’t get thru. Told siewlin about it, she used her phone instead to make a call to him. The phone rang for quite some time. No answer.
I know I won’t feel sad if he didn’t see me anywhere and left. But this wasn’t the case man coz he actually saw me, from who-knows-where! I tried hard to locate him, but I wasn’t successful. He could have juz walked up to me and congratulated me straight to my face. Nope. Maybe this doesn’t sound like a sad tale to most of you, but to me, its really pathetic coz he is one good fren of mine. He sent me sms later that night, saying that he was very sorry for what he did. He too said that he really couldn’t face it. It? What ‘it’? The fact that he wasn’t a graduate like wat he said? I couldn’t be bothered to ask further. I din want myself to look like I’m pushing him too much anyway..Whatever!
I know what the main reason was now. I’ll consider if I can share it with u ppl later.
My bunch of good frens were there. Too cool to be true ;p
Sense one missing person? We all know who u are. Sob sob sob…Why can’t u be there oh?? :(
Me and my coursemates were supposed to gather at the designated spot for photo-taking. But the plan failed. The sheer size of crowd was mind boggling and we couldn’t meet each other, plus some needed to leave early for studio photo shoots. Besides, guess they needed to get their parents some food as parents were not allowed to leave the hall at all for food and stuff throughout the ceremony. But at least we frens had taken photos during the rehearsal day wearing our robes. Remember that bunch of desperado in lecture hall? So being a desperado is not alwiz a bad thing, you see :p
Took photos with a few of my frens though…the most significant one would be…hey ANIW, I get to take a photo with our FBL ‘cun-est’ guy man kakakaka. LKS lah, who else. Too bad for you other readers, he isn’t able to send me the pic now. Damn, or else I can consider posting it up right away hehehe~
My bouquet of 12-stalk roses. Wanna know who gave me this? Make sure you stay tuned for Post-Convo and my personal thank-you speech! They’re up next :)
I got up around 5am. Had fast breakfast and spent the rest of the minutes putting on my ‘baju kurung’(malay traditional costume) and my make up. Left my house with both my parents around 6 smth and we reached Dewan Seri Negeri before 7am. The big day was still young, the sky was dark but the best parking spots were all taken. Wht? Anyway, parents arrival time was from 7am to 8.20am. We’re afraid that we might not be able to get good parking space, so we went there early…that’s why.
Bumped into Joanna and we went to the auditorium to get ourselves registered. Then we were all asked to stay in there. After a while, we were led into the convo hall juz opposite the auditorium. The hall and the lightings were beautiful. There was also music played by some malay musical instruments like the ‘kompang’, ‘rebana’, ‘gong’ and others. These Malay traditional tunes tinged the westernized event with a Malaysian Flair. Awesome..
Loud clapping filled the hall upon the arrival of Our chancellor, Dr. Siti Hasmah. Then a grand procession of academics filed down the aisle led by a man carrying our university emblem. The ceremony started with the presentation of E-Bee, some digital animation show created by FCM students. After that was the speech giving by the chancellor. There were a total of 3 faculties in my session. The presentation of scrolls started with FCM, followed by my faculty FBL and lastly FET.
We all were really nervous when its our turn to go on stage hehe. We can’t help straightening our robes and adjusting our mortarboards (in lay men term...square hats) again and again hehe. I guess it was becoz we’re gonna be featured on the big screen and we wanted to look our very best for our proudest moment. Plus, we’re also afraid of our mortarboards that might drop off our heads, or tripped over our robes, and stumbled on stage in front of so many ppl. But it was fine with me :) I juz gotta made sure I walked very very carefully. Thankfully, everything went really well. I remembered that every second, from the moment they scanned my smart card, and my name was mentioned, the staff telling me when to start walking, then I greeted my Dean, Dr Leo Desmond Pointon, walking along the red carpet which I called it ‘The Walk Of Honour”, the lil cheer I get from the audience hehe, shaking the chancellor’s hand, and she congratulated me while I received my long-awaited, after years of hard work and determination, hard-earned scroll from her hand..smiling so sincerely ;) When I walked back to my seat, I can see my dad at the back, standing and giving me a wave. I’m glad to make them proud, oh yeah ;p I guess there aint many times in this 22 years I did things that they would feel proud for. But I do know they’re the proudest parents when I received my BM Penulisan Trophy back in Primary 6.
It was a formal ceremony and I thought we shouldn't cheer or even make any sound thru out the ceremony. But that wasn't really the case. The hall reverberated with cheers during the presentation of the scrolls to the grads. The popular ones would be getting loud cheers from their frens on the floor, ie the intensity of the cheer you get indicates how popular or how well-known you are in university. I guess some are popular for their good grades, some for their looks and some for being big time jokers/'crappers'. Wahahaha..so if u wanna get big cheer from your frens, be famous! Or you might wanna consider letting yourself be the very last person to receive the scroll for the session hahaha. And, if you like some gal/guy, make sure the frens you told won't be shouting her/his name when you go on stage man. That happened for a few grads. I remembered a gal went on stage and her frens shouted "Jonathan". Haha her parents must be wondering since when their daughter's name has been changed to Jonathan. Wahahaha….
*This reminds me of the 'Ajaran Sesat' story and I adi feel like laufing now…ctrl~ Will tell u later on*
It was such a touching moment when we sang Permata Dunia, our university’s song. I recalled the time we used to sing it during orientation days, 4 years ago. Mannn…I didn’t dare to recall much, instead I juz sticked my eyes to the big screen coz I din wan to end up end up with tears. Trust me, I could have. Anyway, in the mmu video they’re playing, there was one scene of my club’s president (Creative Arts Club) receiving the Malaysian Book Of Record award for our longest record breaking rangoli from the person in charge.
The ceremony ended at about 11.30am. I got a few msg-es before we came out, telling me that they have arrived. But this particular one made me happy coz he initially din give me any confirmation whether or not he can make it. "Fren: Hey Im here already, waiting for u outside ;p"
First, I met up with my parents. They congratulated me.
My beaming parents and me.After that I went to meet my cousins and other frens. Some frens from Accounting and Epsilon who couldn’t make it there, have informed me earlier though. I din stop glancing around looking for that fren though. I failed to see him around but later I got this sms.
Fren : I saw you, you look very happy. Congratulations.
Me: Come to the main entrance here, quick.
Fren: I have to go to work already. You look very pretty today. Enjoy urself.
I tried to call, but the line couldn’t get thru. Told siewlin about it, she used her phone instead to make a call to him. The phone rang for quite some time. No answer.
I know I won’t feel sad if he didn’t see me anywhere and left. But this wasn’t the case man coz he actually saw me, from who-knows-where! I tried hard to locate him, but I wasn’t successful. He could have juz walked up to me and congratulated me straight to my face. Nope. Maybe this doesn’t sound like a sad tale to most of you, but to me, its really pathetic coz he is one good fren of mine. He sent me sms later that night, saying that he was very sorry for what he did. He too said that he really couldn’t face it. It? What ‘it’? The fact that he wasn’t a graduate like wat he said?

Convo Day 1
On this day, I went to Dewan Seri Negeri to attend some frens’ convo in the afternoon…evening actually. Many frens of mine were in FOM though. It rained in the morning and the ground was damp and I had this problem where my small round heel kept ‘sinking’ (pardon me for my vocab, I sux at it) into it. Hahahaa..but I wont be blaming and cursing anything.
We met allen first and took photo with him. Here goes.
I called Mieza but couldn’t get thru but at one point, it did. Had a hard time locating her coz I was mistaken by the entrance. You have right side, left side, front, back..and all of them ARE entrance hahahahaha…Then, when I actually saw her, the first thing I did was to hug and congratulate her. It was really nice, I got so many things in my head to tell her and I wonder if she had any. Hmm….Anyway, that gal went back to Penang after the convo. So we din even get to spend more time sharing stories. Hey fren, where is my dinner time with you ar?
Then I met my alpha gang too..Suan, Jade and Kelly. Nandy and Jenny haven’t graduated yet. These gals have a lot of frens man, I tell you, too many it seems. We took photos and I won’t be posting them here. Dial-up doesn’t allow me to as they will take very long time. I will save the time for more important ones. Who else? Most ppl I met are my alpha groupmates in FOM. I only happened to meet one FIST fren though, didn’t contact the rest. The time was almost 7pm, we gotta leave.
Walked back to our car which was parked by the road side quite far away. But it was ok.
I think that’s all for this post. Nothing else to blog about adi. ‘My Convo’ is next.

Pre-Convo..Rehearsal Day
Friday was the rehearsal day. Was really excited coz will be meeting a lot of frens again, after years of not seeing them. The rehearsal was held in Dewan Seri Negeri and there were briefings about the actual convo procession and others.
We needed to go to the campus to verify our smart card becoz when we get on stage to receive our scroll, they’ll scan our cards and our names will then be announced by the computer system and will be displayed on the screen. That’s why we must do verification to make sure the cards are problem free. Cool huh…what wasn’t cool at all was the Q-ing-up process. Ask any graduates this batch, you’ll know what I mean. The line was so damn long, from clc to library area, can u imagine. Hell sucked. I quequ for approximately 2 hours. There were only 3 verification counters for over 2000 graduates. Tsk tsk…
Then we were to collect our robes at the CLC lecture halls. Joanna took mine for me while I stayed in the line. Good strategy huh ;p Anyway, the verification only took like 5 seconds or lesser. My coursemates went to collect their robe long after I got mine, but I followed them anyway juz for fun haha. Someone suggested to try the robes on, and we ended up taking photos wearing our robes in the lecture hall hehe. A bunch of desperado hahaha. But it was a good move coz we didn’t get to pose together already after convo. Sweaty, messy, thirsty, hungry. Had lunch with Joanna, but we can feel something’s missing. Were really sad.
The one person I wanted to meet so badly, Mieza…actually saw me from afar and I didn’t. Everyone was damn busy and it was understandable though. I thought that was fine and I had 2 more days to do so. So did I or did I not successful in meeting my partner in crime during Alpha? Wanna know what one of my frens thinks about allen when I asked her after he came up to say hi? Find out later as MORE convo reports and photos coming up.

The Road To Convo
My convocation ceremony is just around the corner. It is sad to go for convo, yet at the same time, I was anticipating for it. Sad? If I’m still schooling, I can still hang out with my good buddies and to be able to unconsciously put my splatter vision skill to use ie looking at ppl cute guys around clc. Juz joking, I dun think I look at them much too, really. I dun really care actually. Looking forward? I can meet my Alpha groupmates who have gone to Cyber....particularly Mieza. It’s gonna be a great reunion man. Plus convo is supposed to be a day of joy, celebrating your completion of studies in the university. So 80% of the day should be an enjoyable one.
Kebaya will not be possible coz it takes time to tailor. Damn..should have thought of that much earlier. But hey nevermind, I will go for something else..hehe. One of my last sem’s lecturer said that it’s a once in a life time event and if what you gonna wear will cost you RM200-RM300, go for it. Fuiyoh! Oh yeah, she recommended songket. She said there was a gal who wore that last convo and looked the best. Hmm…I wonder if anybody would suggest juz bikini or wear nothing at all inside afterall it will all be hidden under the robe haha. Siao! You can ask them to remove their robe if you wan to. But stay that away from me man haha coz you can bet I will definitely wear full piece clothing inside :) Okla....I’ll be generous. I think I’m able to remove that one thing as well as posing for you if you want, ok. Satisfy? But juz for your info, there’s nothing special to see, expect no hons on my head. Unless you wanna check out my hair roots wahahaha….rite, enuf crap.
Oh yeah, touching on hair, for your info, I did rebonding (straightening) to my hair weeks ago, only the bottom half. It costs me almost RM100. But you can only tell by looking at the last few inch of my hair ;p I will upload some before and after photos comparing the difference later.
Aiks…why is the convo held in August, juz after 4 months since finals? If only it’s half a year to one year later, I’d have most probably started working then bought a digicam adi and asked my parents to live cam me walk onto stage receiving my e-scroll...that one special moment. Damn! Oh yeah, if anybody happens to see me on stage, thru the tv outside the hall, cam it for me, will ya? :p Sounds like a desperado hahaha. But one thing for sure, I can record it in my own head and store it in my long term memory :) Must be a wonderful one…
Anyway, you know what is important during one’s convo? It is to see your family members, close frens attending it, eventhough they could only wait for you outside the hall, agree? Gotta start inviting and inform my frens about the date and time of my convo as soon as possible. Personally, the presence of close frens at the convo means a lot to me. I dun care that much if not-so-close fren could not turn up or lazy to show up, frankly I would not care-less. Of coz if they are able to make it, it'd be perfect case and it would definitely add joy to my day.
To 'My Careless Whisper' readers whom I know of, I hereby cordially invite you to my convo. You know who you are. I hope to see you ppl there, trust me you'll make my day :)
Oh btw, juz found out that a fren won't be able to come for any of the convo days. Though I dunno what's in KL that he could not make it here, it's juz a sad thing to hear. Let me guess…PC fair? Utar's fren's convo? Hmm…well, he is one of the members in the GBS gang I use to hang out with, I would surely hope all of them turn up. Hahaha…my 1st bad luck huh? Anyway, u others better come man (I hope this doesn't sound like forcing and too demanding hehe)…so if possible, dun let ur absence be my 2nd bad luck ok ;p
I have been to 2 photo studios today to ask about the graduation photo taking thing. First is the place bridal shop I took my prom photo at...Classic. The second is Kacey Bridal. Both offer photo taking package that costs around RM180 plus, and there'll be around 6 posses per package. I reckon I do not need that many poses, in fact I juz need like 2...a personal one and a family one and that's all. Therefore, I'm going for the poses, instead of the package. It's RM25 per pose with three 4R-sized photos given. Might do the enlargement later on.
I've contacted some of my Cyberian frens and I can't wait to meet them at the rehearsal, which will be on Friday morning :) I'll be going on Saturday as well for FOM's and FCM's. And Sunday would be my turn then hehe. Mine will be the morning session, I suppose it will start at 9am or 10am and ends at about 12pm or 1pm? So for those who are coming back from Seremban, KL to see me graduate, haha you may want to depart at 10am and make it to Dewan Seri Negeri at 1pm? Hahahaha okla, I'll wait for you ppl there as long as I can if you’re coming ok? Juz inform me.
Joanna’s coming down tomorrow, another job interview tomorrow…wish me luck in my job interview :) See you all at the convo!!

What Is Luck?
My previous post touched about luck in one paragraph.
As I keep wondering where my good luck is and if there’s any at all, out of a sudden, I realized that I did have some. Everyone has at least grumbled about something before, no? For one good example, we complain about having bad luck in life.
What is your definition of good luck and bad luck? To what extend, would you consider a good encounter a good luck? (I suppose anything unwanted is considered bad luck haha) You see, sometimes in life, human beings like us bite more than we can chew. We never stop expecting the best for ourselves and keep asking for more, in this case, more good luck. So, we tend to oversee the good lucks we’ve had or the ones we are having rite now. Good luck comes in many forms but for the time being, I could only categories them in 2 forms. First would be in monetary form and the other would be in love. Hmm..let’s see~
If you’re born in a filthy rich family, ie you are able to enjoy the luxuries without you know how to walk and talk yet, isn’t that such a good luck? I could understand well how some other ppl would react or had reacted to that. I’ve heard about it and that reaction/action is not surprising…it’s just the matter of whether or not that person dares to speak it out, ie on what he/she would do if they were in your shoes and stuff. Coz hey, not everyone has the guts to say/complain about that in front of the rich fella. So, juz thank these outspoken ppl for their honesty. I guess most of us on this earth would have dreamt before for being born rich and being one someday.
Admit it. Anyway, if you’re not born rich, then you’re not. If you can become rich one day, then good for you. As for me, living an average life, in a average income earning family is already more than I could asked for. Yes I do envy people with big houses, big cars, extra money to spend and stuff, come on, who wouldn’t. But then again, I’m contended with what I have now, coz I know I’m way much luckier in terms of monetary than some others poorer ppl out there. You know, once my cousin brother who is working as an agent in Uptrend (the MLM business), asked me this.
Cousin: Don’t you wanna earn more money? U earn around RM1000-RM2000 per month usually, but in this kind of business, it can earn you more. You think earning a few thousands like our dads is enuf??
So I said to him that everyone has diff definition of being rich. To one, having RM1000 is rich; to another, RM10,000 is rich…so ultimately it all depends on how you see it. I also told him that if I have enuf to spend, if ‘cukup makan’ adi then okla…must be thankful and contented. Or else, ur life will only be about going after more and more money without ending. It’s kinda philosophical. I tried to convey my main point to him that not everyone only cares about making big bucks in their life and everybody has their own preferred way of earning money and living life. Btw, I dunno if I will say the same thing 10 or 20 years down the road. I might, or I might not. It’s hard to tell, you know. But I do hope my life won’t be wasted by chasing after more and more money though thus forgetting about other purposes in life.
Another type of good luck would be in the form of love. Have you ppl ever thought of this…I wonder. If you have the love from your family, isn’t that already an ultimate and biggest good luck you can ever have? If you’re aware of that, then what about the case of a fren who cares for your well-beings or will love you unconditionally? Or won’t you feel lucky enuf to have ppl who would be willing to even take your bad lucks for you, with only condition to not letting any bad at all happen to you? It’s still forgivable if you’re not able to accept these good lucks but shame on those who do not see it as good luck. Plus, if you having met someone you know would sacrifice for your sake, be it your family members, frens…and if you’re still too dumb to feel lucky, then I really question what kind of other ‘super-luck’ you’re searching for man, seriously! I wonder what’s in your head to make you such a loser, IF there exists this kind of ignorance.
So, my dear readers, pls take a short moment to think about it before you start complaining you never have good luck or is constantly looking for more, better, good lucks without realizing existing ones, only after reading this reminder post of mine…
Ciao…gtg looking for my job luck now coz it will never come by itself. Perhaps the third general form of luck is the one that won’t come freely, the one you need to earn yourself, unlike the two I’ve pointed out...

As for me, living an average life, in a average income earning family is already more than I could asked for. Yes I do envy people with big houses, big cars, extra money to spend and stuff, come on, who wouldn’t. But then again, I’m contended with what I have now, coz I know I’m way much luckier in terms of monetary than some others poorer ppl out there. You know, once my cousin brother who is working as an agent in Uptrend (the MLM business), asked me this.
Cousin: Don’t you wanna earn more money? U earn around RM1000-RM2000 per month usually, but in this kind of business, it can earn you more. You think earning a few thousands like our dads is enuf??
So I said to him that everyone has diff definition of being rich. To one, having RM1000 is rich; to another, RM10,000 is rich…so ultimately it all depends on how you see it. I also told him that if I have enuf to spend, if ‘cukup makan’ adi then okla…must be thankful and contented. Or else, ur life will only be about going after more and more money without ending. It’s kinda philosophical. I tried to convey my main point to him that not everyone only cares about making big bucks in their life and everybody has their own preferred way of earning money and living life. Btw, I dunno if I will say the same thing 10 or 20 years down the road. I might, or I might not. It’s hard to tell, you know. But I do hope my life won’t be wasted by chasing after more and more money though thus forgetting about other purposes in life.
Another type of good luck would be in the form of love. Have you ppl ever thought of this…I wonder. If you have the love from your family, isn’t that already an ultimate and biggest good luck you can ever have? If you’re aware of that, then what about the case of a fren who cares for your well-beings or will love you unconditionally? Or won’t you feel lucky enuf to have ppl who would be willing to even take your bad lucks for you, with only condition to not letting any bad at all happen to you? It’s still forgivable if you’re not able to accept these good lucks but shame on those who do not see it as good luck. Plus, if you having met someone you know would sacrifice for your sake, be it your family members, frens…and if you’re still too dumb to feel lucky, then I really question what kind of other ‘super-luck’ you’re searching for man, seriously! I wonder what’s in your head to make you such a loser, IF there exists this kind of ignorance.
So, my dear readers, pls take a short moment to think about it before you start complaining you never have good luck or is constantly looking for more, better, good lucks without realizing existing ones, only after reading this reminder post of mine…
Ciao…gtg looking for my job luck now coz it will never come by itself. Perhaps the third general form of luck is the one that won’t come freely, the one you need to earn yourself, unlike the two I’ve pointed out...
