I'd said this will be the most exciting course for this semester, our learning medium is Blogspot & Facebook!!!
The lecturer even told us that all we have to do for our assignment in Blogspot is to BLOG!! Sounds fun, ain't it..
As for Facebook.com, he hasn't given any instructions yet, but I'm expecting it to be fun too!
So, Practical 1, create a blogger account- DONE! LOL... -seriously, that was practical 1...
Hopefully the lecturer will surprise us with more unexpected kind of practicals and assignments...lol...
At Last I sat for my last three subjects' exam! Fundamental Mathematics, Programming Concepts & Design 1 and Information Technology. And I am having my semester break now...Yay! But it's only 3 weeks =.=...
Everyday I have to go to work now, play Cabal(unless when it's undergoing maintenance, eat, sleep and you-know-what after eating.
So I'll be surfing the net finding stuff randomly and maybe learn some chemistry and biology(I still love those subjects despite my SPM is over^^).
It's AEMS2002 Hubungan Etnik time! Tomorrow... and I haven't cover all those parts that the lecturer told us to. Hopefully I can do well in this paper like how I did for sejarah SPM since it's almost the same thing. Well, the exam starts at 9.00am tomorrow. On a Saturday ! 9.00am on a freaking Saturday.But I'm still going through the notes, so I can't sleep yet. haiz. Good night then.
Tschuss.
Bloody Cow!!! Don't even know how to drive a bloody kapcai!!
Langgar me from the back. Wasted my bloody afternoon there.
Luckily you didn't act sombong2 if not I would've beaten you.
Tomorrow is the first day of my final exam, I'll be sitting for my AELE1133 English Language paper. Hope it doesn't turn out to be difficult, same goes for the other papers too, of course.
Well, nothing much which I can talk about, just too much reading to do for the exam, because i didn't want to be over-confident.
Guess got to get back to 'reading-mode'.
Tschuss.
I'm SITTING FOR MY 1ST FINAL EXAM NEXT THURSDAY!!!
Actually, I don't feel anything XD. Just another boring exam which waste valuable time. I'm only sitting for 5 papers and it takes a freaking 3 weeks to complete the examination, the scheduler sucks.
I do hope I'll achieve my target this time*need to get that scholarship*. Anyway, what is there to worry about, there're only 4 questions so I guess it'll be alright.
CAN'T WAIT! CA'T WAIT! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEM BREAK!!! Since sem break is only on for 3 weeks, got to appreciate that period of time.
Until next time *break*
Hallo! Well, I realize I haven't been writing for quite a long time. A lot of things happened recently but I just didn't have the urge to write about them. So, if you've been wondering what have I been doing,then here it is. The main thing that kept me busy all this while was entering college and when I was in. As I expected, college life made me have a rather busier daily schedule then before, but I'm really HAPPY in college. Things have changed- I became a more outspoken person and I realize I'm a happier person right now. I just love things the way they're right now.

uhh*.... though I'm much more happier now, I don't 'feel healthy'. Just got to know that I have some health problems, but it's ok, I'm alright-most probably. I'm going to meet a doctor on the 1st of July '09 and a specialist at the hospital in Jabatan THT(Ear,Nose & Throat) on the 8th of July '09. Just wondering what would be next. Anyways, I don't feel well right now too. Sorry if you're expecting something more 'enjoying to read', got to take some rest now.
Auf wiedersehen folks-

Wooooo~~t!!!! I PASSED MY DRIVING TEST AND IT WAS MY FIRST ATTEMPT!!
It was 9.00 a.m. when I reached Surfine Hitech facilities and not to mention it was a very hot day; afternoon--the weather was even worse. Anyways, I received my driving test form from my instructor and guess what, my assigned number was kumpulan HIJAU-115.. YES!! 115!!! Kumpulan 'Hijau' is the third group which only consists of freshies(new drivers-- MANY MANY NEW DRIVERS like me :) ), the first group is 'Putih' which consists of people who failed their driving test last time, whereas, the second group is 'Kuning' but I have no idea what 'kind' of people are those in that group. And so I waited for an hour-or-so just to report myself in for the test.
The first test that I'm suppose to do is the 2nd part because there were too many people doing the 1st part. The 2nd part covers the slope-crossing, parking skill and three-point-turn. The slope-crossing was the best, it was the most enjoying part of the drving test. It's because of the nervous feeling you get while waiting for your turn from seeing most of the people there fail that part... Haha... I'm being mean. And for your info, most of them who failed that part were girls... XD... I really don't understand why they can fail this part, I'm not only refering to those girls but boys as well. Just get into 1st gear, lightly step on the accelerator, and slowly release the clutch till you fell a slight pushing force on the car then release the handbrakes( which a lot of them didn't do which explains why their car didn't move ...HAHA) and WALA, your car is moving up and across the slope!
The second test that I took is the 1st part that is tested on-the-road. I waited for more than 2 hours for this part!!! grrrrrr...the weather was damn HOT! BUT Thank God I was assigned to a very-friendly JPJ officer-cum-examiner! She was a slightly plump lady. Well, I don't have much to say about this part of the test, except that I saw something which made me giggled that is, some candidates drove out of the facility by themselves but when they came back, it was the JPJ officer beside them who drove them back, I guess they failed .. XD... And in case you didn't know, I got 19/20 for this part(for your info, 19 is considered good --haha). Wondered why I didn't get 20/20??? Contact me personally and I'll tell you why I didn't get 20/20.. XD...
That's it folks! One thing for sure, driving is very fascinating to me! XD

Well! I just submitted my application form for TARC's(Tunku Abdul Rahman College) approval upon my admittance to the School of Arts & Science's Diploma in Science(Internet Technology). I was really exited as I drop the envelope containing the documents in the the submission box, it was no turning back after I drop those in, unless I choose not to take the course last minute and lose the application fees ...XD...
Anyways, I'm quite confident that I chose the right course for continuing my tertiery studies. The only thing that I'm considering right now is whether or not to sign up for the Extra- Mural Studies's French class. I'm worried that the French class schedule would clash with my diploma's schedule.
Other than that, I'm A-OK with most of the college's facilities. They seem to be quite updated and complete, but I wouldn't know until I actually start my college life and experience it.
Hmm...I guess that's all for today, it really had been a tiring day at work.
Auf wiedersehen!

Working life isn't fun and exciting guys(except the part about salary), remember that. Every now and then, I just thought of stepping back into secondary with the blue uniform, dark blue slacks, prefect's badge and the name tag, sit in the same old 5 Amanah class and listen to my teacher's lecture and friends joking when the teacher is not in. Ahhh...those days, they're gone for sure, far into the 'land' called memory.
Almost 3 months have passed since SPM, daily life also changed dramatically. What used to be schooling days have all become either an off day or a working day, at the same time not denying the fact that I won't be able to see my classmates and joke with them like the way it used to be when I was in my class, which gave me a weird feeling in my daily life because I just kept on reminding myself, 'Shouldn't I be at school at this moment?!..Haha...silly me!'--- I suppose most post-SPM students like me face the same situation too. Sometimes the question strikes my head all of a sudden,' Primary & Secondary school life ends like this?!?!' and a whispering tone in my mind will answer the question saying,'Yes! there's got to be a day.'
Well, since this is my first 'post-SPM feeling' post after 3 months after the last month in school, I'll be updating my feeling towards going-to-adulthood-life after 3 months. I would really want to know how I feel that time.
Auf Wiedersehen readers!!!

The second-most popular-card-giving occasion is the one and only romantic occasion- Valentine's Day. Over 188 million Valentine's Day card is exchanged annually(based on Hallmark's research).
But do people out there sending all these cards/eCards, know the history of this filled-with-love romantic occasion? For those people who doesn't know the story behind it, it goes like this :
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.
Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial — which probably occurred around 270 A.D — others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.
The boys then sliced the goat's hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine's Day around 498 A.D. The Roman 'lottery' system for romantic pairing was deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds' mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February — Valentine's Day — should be a day for romance. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.
In Great Britain, Valentine's Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one's feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine's Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.
According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)
Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.
Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine's didn't begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentine's Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as "scrap".

Recently, I had lunch at one of the oldest social club. This is the introduction taken from the official website:
'Today, with a membership of over 8,900, the Club has been acknowledged as the most active and established club in the country. Founded on August 16, 1890, the Royal Lake Club is centrally located in Kuala Lumpur amidst the luscious and green Lake Gardens. Today, as envisioned by the former Prime Minister and Past President, the late Tun Abdul Razak, the Club is the country's premier club. As one of the oldest and leading social club, the Royal Lake Club has always played an eminent role in setting standards and in maintaining its own strict code of excellence. Its membership reflects this and it is not surprising that both the membership and the evolution of the Club have been closely associated with the progress of our society. The Club has always been a conducive venue for the private and public sectors to meet and develop lasting ties. As noted by our former Prime Minister and Patron, YAB Dato Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, not least among the Club's achievement has been its successful transition from an exclusive colonial institution into an open multi-racial club in keeping with the changing environment of an independent multi-racial Malaysia. Its central location makes it the most convenient place to meet, and the Club's dining and recreation centers are always well patronised by members and guests.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway, during lunch time, out of all the other options available in the menu, I decided on Spaghetti! It cost around RM8.80, don't ask why did I chose that dish. Actually it was Spaghetti Napo-something, it's under the weight-watchers category, so it's impossible to miss it unless they change the menu. It looks like this:
^MMMmmm....Look at the layer of cheese^
^Dig In!!^
^MMmmm....YummYummYummy....XD^Until next time guys....^-^

After meeting a customer at Pantai Bangsar hospital, I went to Starbucks just to get myself a large lovely-favvy-chocolaty drink. The name of this fave of mine is JAVA CHOCOLATE CHIP. Mmmmm....yummmyy....chocolate chips..... The mixture of whip cream, chocolate chips, and coffee(I think it's coffee), all blended with ice really brings a cooling and refreshing sensation to the taste buds. It's really a good choice if you're finding yourself something to relieve stress.
This is how it looks like:
In the take away bag.
Taking it out.
This is how it looks like in my hands.
Although it cost me RM16.30(tax included), I think it's really affordable if you know how to enjoy it. So, if you bring to me Starbucks and ask me to recommend a drink for you, I'll say:' If you don't mind spending, Java Chocolate Chip would be my recommendation.'

It's 7.22am right now and I'm getting ready for my undang test. This is my 1st objective to start-off 2009. I studied that book(Kurikulum Pendidikan Pemandu) they gave me at the driving academy like I was studying for SPM(I was like, 'WHAT THE HELL!!'). The MOST annoying part about studying that book is that it feels like I'm reading a CHILDREN'S BOOK!! I mean, couldn't they just give practical lessons on the road! Darn that book, Darn it! Made me felt like I was reading sejarah (especially the part where I have to memorize the procedure in getting a license)... And then....... Oh shit! I'M LATE FOR THE TEST! I'LL EDIT THIS POST ONCE I'M DONE WITH THAT TEST! I promise I won't boast about that Stupid Book when i come back.
After 4 hours and 3 minutes...time=11.25am
THANK GOD!!! I PASSED THE UNDANG TEST!! I got 48/50!! I was sweating profusely when I first entered the Theory Test Room...*Phew*... The test wasn't hard/tough or whatever people say that makes it sounds hard. I managed to finish the test in 16 minutes! At least now I don't have to worry about attending the KPP seminar again. What a relieve and NOW I CAN GO DRIVE A CAR(I meant practical driving lesson :p).
