LDR

I Dint know what LDR stands for when a friend of mine first told me she was giving a speech to persuade us LDR can work, well LDR stands for long distance relationship. The thing is I have seen a few people in LDR, I have seen it failed and i have seen it to be a sucess.

My dad had never worked in Taiping before year 1999 when he finally got transferred to Taiping while my mum,sis, and I was living in Taiping for almost all my life. I don't remember before that but I think in about year 1997-1998 my dad was working in Rawang, Selangor and he used to drive back to Taiping in his old Saga every other weekend, maybe on Friday night and back to Rawang againn on Monday mornings and every school holidays we would go down to KL to visit him.

And I know a friend whose father works in KL and does the same almost every weekend for at least as long as I know her.

And I am sure many other dads/bfs does the same or almost the same.

The thing is I think it is a great effort that they put up with; I dont think its easy at all travelling back and forth. As much as I love coming back to Taiping, I almost despise the journey, and that saying I m not even driving, just sitting there doing nothing.

You see my friend dint suceed in persuading me.LOL. I think LDR MIGHT work , but it depends on the individuals , how hard they are willing to fight for it, and how independent they are. Personally I dont think Im the type that willl survive a LDR. What about you?

P/S- Just a random thought on the way back from KL the other day while ash's dad drove us

PP/S - Another friend of mine who is a strong Un-believer of LDR told me months ago, she will NEVER and will try very hard to abstrain herself from getting into a relationship now cause she knows she's about to go to the states. She also told me that she would wait about ten years into a relationship before getting marrie, I told her she should start finding now then, but wait she cant start unless I match make her with one of the guys from the same course , and they can apply to the same uni...-_-". This is super unrelated to the post but I just find her very cute. If you are reading this, you know who you are..;p

Whenever anybody question me about my mum's occupation, I would answer, 'She's a teacher'.
And they will then proceed to asking me what does she teach, and I'll answer 'Oh English' and then immediately proceed to either asking them to excuse me for my horrible English, or to set their expectations right by telling them maybe something like,' Oh but my English is not very good'.
You see, I don't think my mum ever 'teach' me English, well not formally at least, all we do is maybe speak English at home, and mind that with a mixture of some Hokkien. she corrects my grammar at times as i speak, ok maybe all the time,cause my English is that bad, ;p....The point is that, I just always think my English is rather bad, and when people say it's okay I ll go on to say,' No! its not okay,its not up to the English teacher's daughter standard' as if there is some imaginary standard or certain expectation of a certain level of English language proficiency that I am expected to be at.Even as I write this, I don't feel like posting this post as I can feel it is full of crap and grammartical errors.
But today a friend of mine pointed to me something that makes me feel a tiny bit better and which i find quite true. She said

" Well, my dad repair airconds,but that certainly does not mean that I have to be good in repairing airconds', - cadence

=)

For you, n.a.m.e

Hey Nat,

I was going through our Langkawi pictures and this is one of my fav pic of you..=)Firstly i just wanna tell you i m gonna miss you so much...i m missing you already even right now. I know we just got to know each other not very long ago and we dont hang out much but i enjoyed every single time we did...
I shall remember our very memorable trip to Langkawi, all the times in public speaking, watching sex and the city 2 and all the other times we spent together. I wish we had spent more time together, but i know one day we shall have the chance, maybe even another trip together..=)
When i bid goodbye to you this morning in the CAE i felt a pinch of sadness but im also quite excited for you..SAN FRANCISCO, its a great place and i m sure you'll enjoy your time there very much. Just remember to take things more easily perhaps, remember always share the stress with the world, dont be selfish..;p
I was also looking foward to sending you off to the airport but looks like i wont make it this time, sorry, but i wish you a safe flight...Catch up with your sleep, enjoy your orientation and of course your long awaited break..Tell me all about it later....=)

Lastly thankyou for everything.

semester review

Hmm i kept this entry in my draft for the longest time ever...
My last semester ended on 30th of April and i ve been wanting to write about it cause i felt it was a rather awesome semester, I ve been putting it off but guess i d better write before my new semester ends.

Firstly, i think the main reason the semester turns up well was the subjects that i took. I took accounts, economics, philosophy and public speaking. Alright, accounts and econs are like rather normal, not something very new to me, but philo and public speaking. Until today i m not sure why did i choose those two subjects but i think, no regrets definately.

Public speaking- com110
At first i thought the class was gonna be easy, well why not, just memorize some theories, i know im not like the best speaker, but well atleast my english is not like super bad and speaking is like only 20% of the course anyway. Hell i was wrong its one of the most challenging classes i tell you. Classes was always fun, with some awesome classmates, and also stressful as often we are required to speak extemporaneously. I screw up many times i think but its okay cause in that class its like you never stand alone. Sure there are some like super speakers but i just felt like i could screw up infront but people dont actually show that they are judging you, its a nice feeling. Its also actually rather addictive. I recall my first speech (meaning the 1st speech which our marks will be taken into account), we were all given a chance to prepare a 5 minutes persuasive speech. The most challenging part of the assignment was to actually choose a topic. Its like I wanted it to be perfect, a topic i m passionate about, a topic which is fun, a topic which i can use visual aids cause its a must, a topic which people will actually litsen too. I think i had my topic like only like one week before. The speech is important to me not because my marks would be affected but because of the effort i put into. After delivering the speech, i did okay i guess, marks wise but somehow there is a tiny urge for me to want to deliver the speech again just so to improve it. Thats what i meant by it being addictive.
My second speech was an impromtu speech, which was like our last speech, last project for the entire course. This time it was even more nail-bitting. At that point, of course marks matters but i think why the speech was so important to me was because its was the last one i m giving for the entire course. I felt like if I would have screw that up then it kinda meant that i ve not learnt a thing for the entire course.
Yes the course was definately enriching and I have somehow grown in some ways by taking this course. Nope i dint do like super good, but as i looked upon my results I definately cannot complain.
Yes those were the days, my speech-giving days are over at least for now.=)...I am contented, do take up the course if it is offer but for a more enriching experience, take it in Inti with Ms Kalai, my lecturer..=)

philosophy-phi101
I had no idea what to expect for philosophy. Some people says its fun,some say its easy, some say its hard, some say its hell.. I think most people told me its hell actually, but i took it anyway.
I think i have a love-hate relationship with this subject, i like is much at times and hate it much at other times. The fact that i screwed up my finals definately contributes to my hatred but somehow I wished i could do it all over again and conquer it. The class was definately different from other classes i have taken. Often there are rather entertaining videos being played in the class, and me being a fan of movies and shows it interest me how philosophy can be looked at a different angle relating it to out daily life. I liked most of the movies being played except for one which i think i fell asleep watching it, some action movie. The most memorable thing for the class was when we were required to make a video for our group assignment. I dint sleep well for days, I did like a million draft, a million different versions, but at the end of the day, when the video is done and as it was being played in class, the feeling was just awesome, although i dont think we did very well for it,but from having like zero knowledge on how to make a video to producing one its like i felt as if i have achived something.Will put up the video one day.

Accounts and Econs
This two classes are actually rather normal, it wasnt like super fun or anything, but well its not like its hell. =)

And to end the already awesome semester, for it to become even more awesome, we took a trip to Langkawi for our semester break. Shall write about the trip some other time (which MAY mean never) cause this post is super long already but shall put a picture of the trip just because the post is also very wordy.

Us being us-
