Fear of the Unknowns

It's only the first week of Psychology and I'm already stressing. Although studies haven't really begin.There are lots of uncertainties. Like Introductory Psychology, the passing rate is damn low; not many ppl pass it. Moreover, I can't seem to cope with its 3 hours of lecture with only 5-10 mins break.Facing fears of unable to cope up later; when studies really begin, unable to meet the standards. Now, that Sunway has accepted my Scholarship application, the pressure is even more now.

Now that, I've given my major assignment for Intro...my worries are increasing day by day. I hope my plans for this research essay will work out as I intended it to be and hopefully get an A. I hope my expectations are not to ambitious. Not only this, I need to practically get an A or at least a B but I really want an A for this particular subject. Since the passing rate is low,I want to challenge myself. I want to see how well can I do, how far can I get! Now, with Yin and Tracy gone, who is going to read, edit and give comment of my essays?

Computers!

Seriously, computers in the lab sucks! Can't even read my pen-drive! Some don't have Micro. Office 2007 and some has. What the hell?! Everyone doing Stats homework except me. Feel so unproductive! Must get the software a.s.a.p. Ok, off to look for help. Must finish Stats by today!

Beginning of a New Chapter

First day of Psychology course begun with English class. Yup, English. Thought it was the end of it during pre-u but not. Well, we didn't do much; self-intro, course outlines etc. Thought that I would meet lots of new people but apparently not. Since, most of my classmates are ex-CIMPians. However, got to know to some; Jennifer, the Scottish girl, Aun (sorry if I spelt it wrongly), the party guy and Alex, the guy who flew around Malaysia. Can't really comment on the lecturer yet so...

Next, Stats class! Thought it would be the same as English class but we have started taking down notes and doing worksheets.First lesson, Intro to Stats without Maths; Nominal, Ordinal, Interval, Ratios.
How the hell do you distinguish Ordinal and Interval? Gosh, it's only the first class and I'm having trouble.It's ok, found a clearer explanation in Research Method book. Funny right? It's not, since both are inter-related. Overall, stats class is ok.

Research class. OMG!!! I swear, her voice just puts everyone to sleep. Everyone was yawning and I don't really understand her. Seems like she is lecturing but it sounded like she is reading. Since it's only her first time lecturing, I hope she gets better. However, I've concluded that, I should stock up sweets to stay awake for the next class.


Second day begin with Study Skills class. Yes, we have study skills as a subject. It's a relief to know that this class only last for 4 weeks. One this is for sure, this class surprisingly is the most fun one so far. Although it's tough since it's based on our listening and notes taking skills.I'm looking forward for this class.

Stats tutorial is next. Today's lesson was so fun and interesting. We got to play around with the SSPS? programme. It's fun keying in data. But the software... it's hard to get. Please let me know if anyone has that programme. I need it!

The least interesting tutorial is next.Initially, I wasn't looking forward to it but I was at the end of the class. Cause Ms. Woo is lecturing today. Her class was so fun and interesting! Although I'm facing some hardship in writing a hypothesis. Creating a hypothesis is damn hard. It must be damn specific up till the point that no question can be asked and it's totally different from the normal way of writing a hypothesis. This is something that I must working on tonight itself. And hopefully, can get some feedback tomorrow. Oh yeah, not forgetting that I need to read a journal and answer questions.

Overall, today is better than yesterday. I'm really looking forward to Intro to Psycho class. Hopefully it would be fun and interesting.

PS: I only got 4 study days!!!

Men are from Mars & Women are....

My sis just bought this book, Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus. This book is damn interesting. I start to understand how both genders reacts differently and the differences in interpreting stuffs. Anyone can related to this book despite whether your in a relationship or not.

But don't know why, I'm taking my sweet time to read it. Well, its a total different genre of books. So I guess, I need time to get use to reading this kind of books. Hahahaha... How am I going to read Psycho journals, if I'm not that eager to finish a book like this?

It's 11/08 !

1. PTPTN Application sent.
2. First Semester fees paid.

Finally! After rotting at home for the pass two months, I'm starting Uni in 2 days time! Hahhahaha..... So happy and excited!

Can't wait to meet new classmates or new friends and of course old friends too! I would never forget you guys! Aliza, let's be classmates again ! ^^

Another year Older.

Went to my Uncle's house for dinner. As soon as I stepped in the house. I saw food! Yes, I'm damn hungry and it's almost 8 30 pm. Saw chicken curry, roasted duck, Chinese style broccoli, salted fish, red-coloured eggs and vegetable sup. Hmmmmm...

But a bit disappointed as there was no sight of Seafood Tom Yam, my favourite dish. It's a must have in my aunt's house but unfortunately, she didn't cook that dish yesterday. As me and my sis tasted the chicken curry, it didn't taste delicious at all. Instead it tasted awful. Therefore,

'Grandma, your curry tasted awful.'

'It's from your grandaunt. She cooked it.'

'No wonder, it tasted awful. No one will finish it.'

True enough, no one touched it after the first bite. It's the worst curry I've ever tasted! I wonder what happen to the curry? Maybe my aunt feed the dogs. Well, at least it's not wasted.

Talking bout dogs. Nancy, my uncle's dog reminds me of Cow. When I see her, I see Cow! Especially the eyes.... Puppy eyes! Not a real cow but my puppy, Cow. Nancy gave birth to Cow and now she is pregnant again. More Cows are coming. Hahahaha....

The event ended with Ice Cream Cake. Chocolate ice- cream cake..... Delicious.... Although it's nothing much but I miss my Grandma's cooking. She is the best! To me at least... Eating her cookings are like heaven. Cause she cooks it the way I like it. Hahahahha...

It's Not True

Just about 4 years ago, I was introduce to K-pop by the famous Korean singer, Rain. Thanks to him, I later found this super cute group of guys with great powerful vocals.

I instantly fell in love with them! I've started to buy their albums, beginning with the 2nd one; Rising Sun. I think the song Rising Sun is quite refreshing and very Indian-ish (just before the rapping part). Then on the same year, the 3rd one namely 'O' album came. This album featured tracks with lots of genres and it's suitable for all ages. There is this song, Balloon sounded just like McDonald's theme song (only the opening part) and the video clip is so so CUTE! Try listening to this track and you'll know what I mean.

For two solid years, they had been focusing on their career in Japan. And their success came knocking in the beginning of 2008 with Purple Line. Other singles; Beautiful You and Why Did I Fall in Love With You? topped the Oricon chart for weeks and they became the FIRST foreign boy band with 3 singles that tops the chart after 24 years. They even got to performed on Japan's most prestige stage.

Then came their 4th Korean album, Mirotic. Among all their Korean album, I like this one the best. This album has catchy songs like Mirotic (super cool dance moves), Crazy Love and Paradise. Love In The Ice, Korean version is also included in this album, written by Max. Somehow this song sounded better in Korean, don't know why but it does!

Few months later, The Secret Code; Japanese 4th album was born. Some of the tracks somehow sounded really wrong. Or maybe it's just me? ^^ Among all their J-songs, their latest, Tea for Two is the best. Maybe it's because it sounded sweet and loving unlike others which sounded depress. Life it's self is harsh and sad for some people, I don't think we need anymore sad songs to remind us of our sad memories. Instead we need more happy, loving songs like Tea for Two. Songs that remind us of our sweet memories with our family, friends and lovers. Don't you agree?

The songs sang by this group are high-quality. They expressed the songs with great emotions along with their great vocals. Bolero, Love In The Ice, Stand by You are some of it. No wonder they are named the RISING GODS OF THE EAST; Dong Bang Shin Ki.

With the latest controversy of the band and their company, SME, will we ever get to hear songs from them? Speculations of them may be breaking up is circulating on the Internet. Although, the members denied it but there is a chance that this rumor might actually turn into reality! I don't wish or hope that this will happen. I don't want this to happen at all!

I've already missed their first showcase in Malaysia back in 2005. Also missed their 1st concert in Malaysia due to SPM Bio papers on Monday! I've been waiting to kill all those friends of mine who told me how great it was! Till now, I've been asking myself, 'Why must it be during SPM? Why must Bio papers be on Monday?'. If they do just break up like this, their concerts that I've missed will be my biggest regret! I really hope this would all be only a dream.
