Praise the Lord oh my Soul
Boy, this week has a lot of happenings.
1. I lost my pendrive but it was found
I wanna thank the Lord so much. I didn't even knew i lost it till monday. I was at campus last saturday where i left my pendrive (4gb) still attached to the comp. Some good samaritan manage to get hold of it and contact me by finding out my student ID through some of my word documents. I can't help being so gratedul. ALL my assignments were in it.
However, i think studying alot these days has replace me memory. I kept on forgetting more important stuff.
I LOST my OTHER pendrive!!!!! sigh......Just when i learnt me lesson, the other one is gone. But i shall still praise the Lord because good thing i handed in all my assignments earlier from that pendrive. it was a backup pendrive but still, i hope in the Lord that the pendrive would be found again. Please pray for it!
2. Disappointments become my strength
I took the wrong side of studying this semester. Instead of beating myself i wanted so much to be at par with the rest of my classmates. In the end, i pressurised myself so much that my quizzes start dwindling down. So i tried this week to beat myself and put less pressure! Turns out i manage to get full marks i think! Wohoo~
i Must remember that this week!
3. Programming project
one whole day......half only done......sigh. I shall ask the Lord for wisdom again.
That's all i think so far. Shall update again during the Gawai Holiday.

Stars for a Day
Yesterday, my teammates and I of OMG! group (it's not Oh My Goodness, it's Only Moral Group) participated in the final round of the ambitious Moral Sketch Competition 2009. Our efforts paid off from the endless rounds of discussion, practice and strategies. But i won't never and ever ever forget the ONE who kept us going all this while. At times i felt tired from the practice , i prayed. When i felt that things are not working right, i prayed. When someone is not feeling and acting right, i prayed. I guess the winning factor is not us, but God.
I would like firstly to thank God, Jesus, for everything he has done yesterday. I want to thank for the peace he has placed in me, Aaron, Debbie , Brenda and Darrold's heart during the performance yesterday. I took time yesterday to set aside some time praying for the performance. I guess that's the secret weapon during the sketch competition. The "X" factor. I also want to thank you for helping to me to be humble, it was indeed a humbling experience to learn from the moral sketch competition.
I do not know whether you guys felt it but yesterday somehow there was a boost during the sketch. Perhaps it's the confidence God placed in us. I kept muttering a prayer based on Philipians 4;13
- We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!
I think that's my motto now to study hard and excel in everything i do.
Next i would like to thank my team member : Aaron, Debbia, Darrold and Brenda
I could never ask for another cast member. We blended well and perform perfectly. There's nothing more that i can ask for. Thanks for listening to my criticisms during the sketch and listening to me on how the sketch should go. I want to say sorry if i hurt anyone during the process.
Aaron- You certainly matured alot in acting even though it's your first time. Keep it up!
Debbie- Perfect gangster. Haha. Enough said.
Brenda- Pefect vegetable thrower. haha. I wonder what would happen to your husband next time.
Darrold- I think the experience you had before helped you become the actor that should be. No criticisms from me i think.
Nash, Melvin and Jacky- Thanks for helping us with some acting, lights and props during the sketch
Thank you all my other friends especially 2E3 class for supporting us!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I hope one day we would all be able to act once more.
Somehow, today we all felt like a celebrities. People that we hardly speak come up and speak to us. Apparently, many were touched by the sketch. Some even cried. I never even thought it would be that touching. Thank you!
p.s: maybe that explained the standing ovation? Hehe XD.
Ahhhhh.........i should have gone into performing arts ho? Even my Effective communication skills lecturer said i should do publick speaking. haha. Thank you God for this talent you've given me.

Rest
That one word sums it of all the things i did this week. Had assessments, moral studies sketch, and physics quiz.
About physics quiz:
It was a bummer. I felt very disappointed. I studied really hard for this quiz to pull up my marks but i failed to do so. It was not my inadequacy of my brain capacity rather the questions tested were simply too hard. One had to apply concepts from various chapters in the out-of-the-box questions. Many a times the lecturer says that reading slides and tutorial are adequate for you to pass the quiz with flying colours. However, i beg to differ. The quizzes definitely crossed the line. Too many questions are not in the tutorial exercises nor slides and has concepts which never crosses a student's mind. In addition, time is too short for proper logical thinking.
Personally, a quiz should test one's capability of understanding the particular topic and main ideas; not testing a person's IQ and mental capability to form new concepts in a frame of 30 minutes. However, i did my best. But i want to thank God for helping me in the test especially in the last toughest questions. God suddenly gave me the concept while i prayed to Him. I managed to do the questions but i substitute the wrong value. Nonetheless, i still get majority of the marks. As hard as it sounds, i should have stick to my own answers for MCQ questions. Blame it on the peer pressure. *Sorry God!*
Dear God,
Thank you for the help you assisted me for Physics. Though i know that my marks are dwindling low, i will praise you for all you've done. I pray that you'll give me the discipline and take away that disappointment of failure. Give me a spirit of determination and to be the best in everything i do. I pray for Madam Norhashimah that she'll find the heart to be kinder and set more relevant questions for physics. As much as we don't like the questions, help me to choose to love her as my lecturer. I pray that you'll bless her despite the situation. I cast my cares, fears and worries of physics to you dear Jesus. Amen!
Moral Studies Sketch:
It was awesome! Everything was smooth except that we accidentally left one scene out. However, spontaneously, we quickly adapt to cover up the missing hole so the sketch was not left hanging. It was brilliant. I am very happy that the sketch i wrote (ideas from team members of course) and co-directed was very good. Some of my friends admitted to almost shedding a tear. We wanted to stepped out of the cliche comedy sketches and do a emotional one instead. It's hard doing an emotional one because one needs to nail the emotions correctly. For this, i have to give credit to Aaron Ko as the main character which cried really well during the performance.
BECAUSE of that we made it into the FINALS!
Despite the "sighs" of other team members, i feel very proud of all of us that we were chosen . I secretly was very nervous because i've been doing sketches many times and i will feel a bit down if our group's sketch wasn't chosen. As the narrator of the sketch, i want to really thank you guys and gals in my team for working so hard. I know it's hard and tiring( because i am not acting) but thanks for putting up with my positive criticisms and correction. Thanks for doing the best you can!
I hope we can nail it once more in the finals !! Gambateh!

Short Rant
Yesterday, i wasted RM 8.00 on four pieces of paper which i could print on my own. This is my short rant:
I went to the new computer class at the resource center to do some of work . Beforehand, i reloaded my account so that i can use the printer (RM 10). After an hour or so i decided to print some documents. Firstly i printed the maths tutorial questions and i waited patiently for about a minute or so. I realized that the paper isn't coming out of the printer so i went to my computer and checked again. I FOUND OUT THAT THE PRINTING OPTIONS WERE AUTOMATICALLY SET TO THE COLOUR PRINTER!!! GAH!!!!
For those who dont' know:
Non-Colour printer= Rm 0.10 per sheet
Colour Printer = RM2 per sheet
So i WASTED RM 8 for four pieces of paper which were BLACK in colour!!! I went to complain to the services whether i could get a refund. It's not fair for us users. How would we know it was sent to the colour printer? They should at least notified.
Their reason: " Oh, it's a new computer place. ADD THE PRINTER URSELF" ish!! so unprofessional.
Even if the paper did come out of the colour printer, is the black ink different than other black ink from other printers? Excuse me if i am wrong. They should have at least reloaded back my money lah! AND IT'S THEIR FAULT FOR NOT NOTIFYING US EARLIER!
BTW, to add on fire my computer cannot search for printer or change to another printer.
Sigh....i want my money back.

Autumn Leaves
Autumn leaves of red and gold,
Brown , yellow and auburn bold,
Colors the dusty street nearby of grey,
Where a lonely dog passes by astray.
Patches of brown and black on green,
Rugged clothes and newspapers are seen,
Walk the old grandmother on the street,
Dragging across with her dusty old feet,
The sun extends its scorching rays,
To burn my skin i hope not; I pray,
Engulf in a burning wind of ashes,
Covering the place once known as marshes
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves,
A change in season it deceives,
When thou leaves are gonna fall?
So i know when winter is to call.
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves,
Gladness it thrive and thieves,
Season of change is what I'm waiting,
Not for dry land that are scorching.
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves,
Rain i hope, in rain i believe,
To shed the leaves once known as green,
Alas with this season of mean!
Colors so fondly adored and missed,
Sadly autumn is not to be blissed,
Autumn leaves which was once thought,
Was bushes of fire that could not be stopped.
I wrote this poem according to the scenario around Desa Senadin in Miri. Bush fires which can't be stopped at the moment are emitting smoke and ashes in the air. It seriously making many people sick. Do pray for us!

Happy Mother's Day
It's a special day today,
Where Mom's celebrate in a grandeur way,
I want to thank my mom specially,
For all the love and help she did willingly
Words of advice and words of counsel,
No other mom knows more than any author can pencil,
It is her encouragement she made me who i am,
So i can be the person i should be without any shame,
Thank you Mom for the love you shown,
Food to eat and clothes to don,
Thank you for always cleaning up,
Though we should do the chores without a doubt[sorry!]
Thank you for always lending an ear,
Sharing my doubts, hurt and inner fear,
Thank you for transporting me here and there,
Whenever you can and wherever the way.
Thank you for keeping the house primp and proper,
Thank you for lending a shoulder,
Thank you for words to spur me on,
To do well in exams so i won't mourn.
Thank you for being my role model,
A perfect mom for me no one can model
Thank you for bearing with me,
Sometimes my attitude stings like a bee.
Not enough words can continue this thankfulness,
But only a prayer of gratefulness,
Mom, you're the best of the bestest,
I love you, Mummy, you're the greatest!
I hope you'll always be in wealthiest health,
I pray you'll be invisible with stately stealth,
I pray you'll be blessed in everything you do,
Because you always think of others and not who.
Thank you mummy ! I am proud of you. You're the best teacher/Mummy i ever can have!
Sincerely,

Ants Investation
Woke today at around seven
I felt like i was in heaven
The day was bright and sunny
To campus i almost hope like a bunny
Packed my stuff before heading to school
Grabbed my jacket which felt like wool
Today we were to practice a sketch
I hope high marks that it will fetch
After a long day practising in Curtin
I feel like greeting my bed by layin'
Laid my bag down and did some unpackin'
Till saw some specks a movin'
This specks had six legs each
Made me scream with a loud --SHEESH!
This specks were black in colour
Which only spelled the word TROUBLE
I trace and trace this black line
All the way while i whined
I saw some clumps along the bin
With some food and rotten things
It wasn't there this morning i thought
Wait a minute! It wasn't the food i bought
Old tin cans, plastic wrappers and a dragonfruit
Boy, these ants are like a brute
To my dismay i see more specks
This is because i track the ants tracks
To the kettle they went marching around
Maybe they're making a rain dance-silently in sound
Up and down they went up the metal
No sweetened thing was there unlike a flower petal
Marching around to their water's death
Contaminating the water which can moist my dry breath
A cry of anger was in my heart
To boil another pot of water i cannot depart
I need water now to quench this thirst
Tears of anger feels like beginning to burst
I tried to boil my brand new pot of water
But the ants became to come like it's a new piece of wafer
Marching around it went with speed
Just to suicide again in without a moment's heed
A swear word i almost utter
I feel like getting a putter
To smash the ants to smitheerens
But i knew i can't do that as that was mean
Instead i use water to do the deed
Since it's water they wanted they did
I use it to drown them one by one
Alas my job was done!
A new pot of water i could boil
Finally the water i could "toil"
To quench this thirsty throat of mine
Everything was oh so fine
The water gave me new energy to open the door
To go outside and track some more ants, more and MORE
I ran to every spot like an amok with my shieldtox can
Spraying them and killing with my swat of hand
I manage to find the nest of ants investation
I spray every crook and cranny on that station
Making sure that they spell the fume of death
This is payback time! - i uttered under my breath
Hundreds of ants begin to fall
Running away or trying to crawl
An evil laugh begin to emanate
This is a lovely thing to participate
That's my story of ants invetation,
I hope you join my in this petition,
To kill every living ant which is a pest,
So that finally we can at peace; finally rest!
