Ice Kacang Puppy Love

• This is a local Chinese movie. It talks about puppy love (obvious shown in the movie title). There were also some humorous scene which only Malaysian-Chinese able to understand.

• It featured the 90's kampung area lifestyle. Many Malaysian famous singer acted in this movie.
• Overall, this movie is okay more toward artistic featuring (this is solely base on my opinion).
• Want to know the story ?
• Haha... I won't tell you, watch yourself (Come on, at least support our homegrown movie)
• Action is louder than words, to be "patriotic" , I advise you to buy ticket and watch. You will know the answer.
• Basically, what it shown may be the experience we had before. And, the ending of the movie some people may dislike it.
• I was like the main actor, "Botak" featured by Ahniu, liked someone which I had no courage to tell. Haha..... dinosaur story....
  
• OK, that is all, can't share too much information.
  
• Keep it mystery will make things sound "better".
  
• LOL.

Be careful..

Today, I went for a movie with a few "not-so-close" or new friends.

On the way back the road at South City, my friend knock on a car due to driving on the wrong lane.

I was freak out that time, as this was the first time I encountered such accident on a busy road. The scratch on other people's car was just subtle, but my friend had to negotiate with him. I didn't actually hear what my friend and the person conversation. But, from the person's facial expression and body language he seemed not going to let us off by forgeting this issue. He was even taking his phone, this signify that he was going to call police.

I felt tremendously fearful at the same time felt this might be my fault. He drove quite fast as he wanted to send me to Sri Petaling station as soon as possible to my parents. Maybe this led him making mistake in driving.

Embarrassed moment, everyone was starring at us.

However, the problem was settled by paying RM 100 compensation to the person he knocked. Phew.... problem finally solved.

Thank god, there were no injuries. But I feel pity on my friend as he might need to spend some money to repair the damages. I hope he would not be too sad.

The first time hang out with friend aroused such incident, next time I will need to ponder and not simply just hang out for fun that may cause the " unwanted".

From this incident, I need to drive carefully in the future..."if I drive".

Yesterday Sunday

Yesterday was my sister's birthday. After working in my grandma's restaurant, all of us went to Tony Romas to have celebration dinner together.

My sister likes steak, so we decided to celebrate in the western food restaurant. The serving for western food is really big. Me, my dad and my mom shared two dishes. On the other hand my sister can finish those big ribs her own. The birthday girl surely had big appetite on her big day.

Talk about my sister...

I have only one sibling. All this while I pray for another younger brother because I love small kids. But it turns out only "two limited edition" produced from my parents factory. It means on this planet earth, there is only one person that has most similar genetic match with me. And also, if my parents are not here, she is the only one closest to me.

Many people commented that we look alike; but our behaviours are poles apart.

Most obviously, my sister is physically gifted if not, she has the passion to involve in any physical activities. She likes sports, outdoor games and the list go ons.... When we were small, she had always drag me to play swords with her. And guess in the fighting game, who was always the winner? My sister.

She is unlike any other girls. She is not girlish, you will never see her wear skirts unless school uniforms. If you can make her wear one, thank you! I will reward you 10 bucks. Sometimes, she can be very stubborn but yet very protective. She looks fierce but... actually she is good-hearted and she would not trick or harm people as she is not "ge-po" at all to take any advantage.

My sister is going to take SPM examination this year. I hope she can put all out and get good results. I wish all the best to my only sister. God bless her.

Wasting Time... aiyo...

Today, there were four hours of break in between the 2 subjects that I attended.

What I planned to do during the break time were:

1. Read a book


2. Recap what I learned this week


3. Plan for a better study strategy
   

However, I didn't perform the task that I have set for myself.

I was so sleepy today. Actually it is all my fault, yesterday I became a coached potato sitting on my comfortable sofa and spend 6 hours for Hong Kong drama.

Imagine that.... I was so terrible as I am not discipline at all......

This was due to the exam was over. This was just an entertainment for myself.

But.... I swear... I feel so guilty for that.

So, I slept during the break. Then, I listen to people's gossip. Actually, I should go far away. Knowing other people's bad things doesn't make me feel good. I can't fully trust what the "spreader"said and also, I should not perceive the victim of the gossip as "a bad person".

Lesson learnt:

• Try to get away from gossip as what is said may not be true.


• If it is true, you will tend to look that person differently. How people behave is non of your business actually.

• Everyone is equal, no one is superior or inferior than others. Do not be bias or fall on one side.

Hope I can be an objective person. Only wears blue, white, yellow and green hats. Understand?

The Leader In You

The Leader In You, this is a a motivational book that I had spent almost a year to finish reading. Actually, I was the one who keep delaying reading.

The below content are extracted from this book, to avoid myself for being accuse in committing academic offence, I am here officially to give credit to the author and associated contributors. Dear friends or visitor, below is the referencing of the book, you can get this book if you are interested:


Carnegie.D et.al, 2003, The Leader In You (How to win friends, influence people and succeed in changing world), New York, Pocket Books

Let me briefly talk about the content based on the sub title available in the book.



To be a leader, one need to find the leader in oneself by identifying own strengths. Leader should also be able to visualise what to do and give instruction to the members to make what visualised come into reality. Then effective communication is essential to built trusting relationship. Besides, to make people move and willingly work for you, leader should be able to constantly motivate her/his team members. This will build up team working spirit among the members in achieving desired task.

To add on, to have effective communication with the team, leader need to be able to express genuine interest in others. People tend to ignore this important aspect. Actually, when you expressing interest on other people, and you really becoming more interested in the people around you. People will feel good when their views or opinions are being valued by giving interest on what they said.

Put in someones shoes through seeing things from other people's point of view. Knowing what is important for other is equally important as to getting work done. This will be a "pull" for your teammates to work with you instead of keep pushing them. You may ask, how to exercise empathy? The answer is having good listening skill. You need to step out yourself to discover what is important to others through listening to learn. "Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener".

"Teaming out for tomorrow" that a leader need to do through the following:

• Create a shared sense of purpose


• Make goals as team goals


• Treat people as individuals they are


• Make each member responsible for the team product


• Share the glory, accept the blame


• Take every opportunity to build confidence in the team


• Be involved, stay involved


• Keep mentoring

There are others guidelines needed to follow after the above:

• Setting Goals
• Focus and discipline
• Achieving Balance
• Creating Positive Mental Attitude
• Learning not to Worry
• The Power of Enthusiasm

Due to time constrain, I am not going to elaborate the above points. Please forgive me if you actually want to know more about the above points. Haha....

What I wrote may just the surface from this book. However, I highly recommend you to read this book as everyday we need to communicate with people and work in groups.

I am still learning to be an effective leader. In this semester 3, I wish I could alter my mistakes made in as leader in previous group assignment. This will be the second chance for me to gain more self-improvement.

Wish me luck.

13 April 2010

Today, I reached APIIT as usual early at around 7.10 am for the morning class.I took a nap on a table at Foyer until 8 am and then walk to the Enterprice 3 for my IBT tutorial class at 8.45 am.

Tutorial class today was a bit shocking for me, the tutor had chosen the group members for group activities. The members I got were all foreigners and some, I do not even know who they are. My mind immediately pop-out those nightmares in group assignment before in Semester 2. HOOH......

At first, I was really mad at the tutor Mr. Z. The first reason was about the grouping and the second reason was he said that the administration do not want to change the schedule for my class. Frankly speaking, I have to go to my school everyday accept for Sunday. There are 2 days which has only 1 class. The class carry about 1 hours and 15 minutes. And, I have to travel 1 and a half hour to school. It is wasting time and money . I suspect he never even talk to the admin, because last semester we requested the same thing and Admin allowed the change in schedule. He gave me reasons that.... other people are also in my position; ....admin is too busy to handle the same problem; ....is time to be independent ; and all the lame excuse he could think of to answer my pledge.

In the LRT on the way back home, I was really angry with him with the above two happening. But, I cannot be involved in this "blame game" again and putting all the false on my tutor. Instead, I will need to get remedies to solve these not preferable circumstances. Like my classmate kong said," Take problem as challenge. If there is no problem or obstacles, how can self-improvement gain without the inhabitants?". Yes, I agree to what he had said to me yesterday. Life cannot be as smooth like driving in the highway, because there will always be mad drivers around you, sometimes you will also drive to those small and bumpy roads. Back to the old saying, no pain no gain. People of yesteryear are always right.

What I want may not turn out as how it should be. But, I should alter my mind set.

• 
  
  In group assignment, the first thing to do in take away my stereotype on foreign students that they cannot perform good job in assignment and hard to communicate with them. Secondly, have a better plan for the group activity, constantly motivate my members and try to improve my leadership skills. I will need to solve the "hard-to-work-with-people mentality" right now. Lynhuei, prove you can. Also, get rid of my pessimistic thinking. Only happy people will always run things smoothly.


• 
  
  Schedule..... I guess I should let it be if plan B does not work. Hey, read books in the train would not waste my precious time.

OK, that is it for today morning story....

Action is louder than words. Start to deal with the "challenges" now by action. You can do it!

12 April 2010

Today was another ordinary day I thought. Monday blues occurred as usual when I first woke up and feel so__ reluctant to go to Apiit as I have to go through a long ride.

After that, my "good assistant ever" gave me a big surprise as she had backed to KL from her hometown. She had lunch with me " togehter-gether". I was really happy for her to be with me for that moment. I hope she will be always happy and get flying colours of results.

In this semester, I had more male friends due to different grouping. I hope by getting closer with them can enhance my knowledge especially in the IT subject. They are funny though sometimes, but boys still are boys, computer games are always their topic of discussion. Sometimes, I just cannot fuse in their discussion. So I need to mind my own business.

I hope I can learn a lot in this semester in not only understand my course thoroughly but also be able to work better with human beings that actually are same species like me.

Grouping "test"

Semester 3, my friends and I were grouped separately in different classes.

I was a bit disappointed with the outcome as I am the only person from my "gang" in that particular class.

In days before, I let my friends to choose switching class and stay with me. Apparently, with all the reasons they gave, I can sense they are not interested to be with me again.

OK, fine. Lets face the reality,I was dumped by my so call "good friends" again. No, it is actually a release for myself to excel without any burden anymore.

At first I was really upset, but hey, this will be the training ground for me to be independent. I can parachute my performance by working all by myself too.

So, it is good to see the true colour of the "buddy" and now I should only mind my own business.

All the best to myself.

Foundation Semester 2 wrap up

Sharing what happenned in Semester 2... lets start with the negative encounter...

1. Setbacks in group assignment.

I chosed to be the group leader; however, i did not manage my group members well. Some of them even my closer friend did not give full cooperation to me. I was really dissapointed and at that point of time I felt helpless. To be honest, I did cry for several nights. I cried because I had such fair-wheather friend; I cried because I felt doing all the job for the passenger in the group task where there was not any sign of appreciation and gave them such free marks; I cried because of anger toward those irresponsible people. This wasted a lot of energy. I had to do almost everything for the assignment. The most heart breaking part is after all the effort I had put in in the assignment, I get only a credit or known as B (not even a B+). What to do, should I negotiate with the tutor ? Maybe should I just accept it? Anyway, I had put all out in my exam, so now lets pray hard for the best outcome.

2. My bad habit occured again- too "kiasu"

'Kiasu" has always be the bad side of me. I am a person who always want to perform the best in my academic. This is because I am not good at other things such sports, good with gadget, etc. Education provide me knowledge and with the certificate for my future. This is my only weapon to survive when I am in the workplace. So, I can't let my self to get bad result. But, in semester 3 sometimes, my "kiasu" was a bit over, it should be a positive pushing force to strive harder. On the contrary, my mind turn thinking negatively and loose confidence on myself. I should have been more positive, kiasu still can be kept as a fighting spirit but not overly until it disturb my progress.

My positive encounter and learning experiance.

1. Found my niche in my college

In a group work, I have found a good assistance. I liked her as she really did what I have asked her to do. Also, I can adapt in the new environment. Finally!

2. Has more courage to voice out.

I am not that shy anymore in class. I have changed as I can as clarify any doubt by just asking question to my lecturer during lecture. In the past due to shyness, I was so reluctant to ask question in the class as I was afraid to ask silly question and then this will result people percieve me as a silly person. Today, I DON'T CARE. I will need to make full use of my lesson and absorb as many information as possible. Question ask may be foolish to some people. The person who ask will be look stupid maybe a few second; but, for those who dont ask will be foolish for the rest of the life. My lecturer said, " there is no silly question, but silly answer". So congrat to me..... I am more brave in the sense of clarifing doubts.
