Internet Programming Project: To create a functional website of our own.

This is my first time creating a website on my own and the first time having my programming work functioning like how I wanted it to because previously it's always either the database connection problem or there's some error here and there.

So, I'm really happy that this one works just fine. *grins*

One year of memoirs; done.

ICT BIS Batch July 08

Yeah.. I'm done with my foundation year. Finished and on my way to my degree year. It's kinda fast. I haven't yet open my eyes to see enough wat am I doing. It jus happened too fast. It's coming too quickly. I need a brake. I can't believe I'd completed 2 sems in UTP. Thts one year and I don't feel it. I can still rmb the first day I stepped into UTP. First word -WOW! Second thought -Why am I here? Third thing I know, I'm settling in already.

It's been a great memoirs with these cool bunch of people. yeah, I don't deny I've not stopped doing funny crazy stuff with these people ever since I came in. It's cool~! Having these people being part of my life. All the things that happened never make me regret of making the decision to step into UTP. I rmb how unwilling I was to accept this offer to study in UTP because it's in Perak. My parents didnt stopped bugging me and pushing me everyday. I've been telling myself God must have His own reasons for all these to happen and I still believe so. It's not tht bad after all. I've got all these friends drawing and colouring my life each and everyday. It's been wonderful. And I thank God for it. =)

So, here I await the new sem to unfold. Looking forward to what may comes. But before that, I'll just want to enjoy to the max, my one full month back here at home. It'll be another I-miss-home-moment when it's time for me to pack again.

a mix of this and that. =)

Love the connection in the morning. It is indeed very fast and I get to connect to the internet in just a few seconds. whee. okay, the title of the post has got ntg to do with what I'm gonna write at all. lol its just another random thing. yeah, again. hehe.



Been feeling really great and seriously good after talking to my bestie last saturday. It's been such a long time we talked over the phone for hours already. So much to catch up, so much to say, so much to know and so much to laugh about. The feeling is nice and I was really pumped up to continue doing whatever I'm doing tht moment. aha. It's like a once-in-a-lifetime thing to be fortunate enuf to have such a frend. You cant be sitting down with someone you just knew a few days ago and spilling all ur thots and feelings to them, can you? It's not easy to trust yet it's not hard to believe them. Ohk crap, I'm babbling like a philosopher again. Don't wan Cheryl to call me tht again.. ehehe.

Felt really good also after my mom called. But nowadays, my mom has been calling more than I called her back. she must be missing me, no? lol once, she called just to tell me not to drive too much during exam period. she's afraid of me not being able to attend exam. She even go to the extend to remind me not to forget to attend my exam. -.-" moms. each time she calls, it'll makes me miss my home even more. just couldn't wait anymore longer to go back home. but it's good tho' I know my family back there still care. talked to my bro as well. Sometimes we are not sure of what we can talk about but as soon as he was over the phone, we actually did have quite a lot to ask and talk. ahah. hmm.. didnt get to talk to sis, she's not around maybe.. but i guess she's busy somewhere in the house.. lol

So many things happened in life, still life moves on. No matter what happened, time wont wait nor does your life. haih. Sometimes, when you did something and you didn't actually meant it, it's really hard to just say forget it or treat it as if nothing occurs. Everything done is done, everything said is said. You knew you shouldnt have done it yet you still do, you knew you mustn't follow yet you still follow. is tht what they call temptation? or pressure? It may seems to be over, But the whole big pile of guilt is still there. You tend to want to hate urself for doing it but what more could you do? Cry over spilt milk? We could only learn from mistakes and never to repeat it and there.. life goes on. =) We can't heal the hurt but the best gift we could give the person is prayer (as what my Shepherd said =D)



Today as I do my devotion, before I actually open up the book, I told God I need something new, something to push me forward even more, something tht will impact me, something tht will get stucked in my head forever. Yes, he did. =) it was just what I needed. ^^ Just some lil sharing here =D

..time to get moving.

Deuteronomy 1: 6-8
"You have stayed at this mountain long enough." (v6)

Monica Seles was riding high in 1993. The 19-year-old was No. 1 in women's tennis, breaking records and opponents -until the day a guy jumped out of the stands and plunged a 9-inch boning knife into her back.

For the next 2 years, Monica rehabbed -physically, emotionally, and mentally. Her biggest battles were against fear, depression and loss. But with the support of family, coaches, and counselors, Monica made her return to the tennis tour. She had been stuck on a mountain of doubt, but found the courage to move forward.

God's people once looked back at a time when they were stuck on a mountain. But He said,
"You have stayed at this mountain long enough. It is time to break camp and move on" (Deuteronomy 1 : 6-7).

Ahead lay many obstacles: the physical effects of wandering in the gritty desert; the emotional ups and downs of God's supernatural provision, and His punishments for their disobedience; doubts about their mental toughness in taking stronger opponents.

Ultimately, they moved forward because God told them to go. He had made a promise -it was theirs to claim. God has made promises to you too, including:
"I will never fail you. I will never abandon you" (Hebrews 13:5)

Monica Seles still carries a scar. No doubt the Israelites carried the scars from their wandering as they made their way into the Promised Land. There were bumps along the way, but they made it. And so will you, because
"The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you, just as you saw Him do in Egypt" (Deuteronomy 1:30).

Find your courage in Him. =)

More:
2 Corinthians 1: 21-22
"Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come."

Titus 1:2
"..a faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time.."

Things to ponder:
Are you stuck on a mountain of fear or circumstances? What has God promised you?


-Tracy Carbaugh (ODJ)

oh yeah, ALL THE BEST in your Finals, ppl! Remember you can do all things through God who strengthens you. =) and not to forget just do your best and God will do the Rest. No worries. =D

Life's getting started.

Life in utp is starting to get a lil tougher. But still, at least we've some time to do the things we love, swimming. lol We've got 3 tests next week and so much to read -thinking skills on monday, maths on wed, and Business management on fri. I still cant understand how to read thinking skills. I mean there's no particular syllabus for us to follow and I just find it hard to read it. I'm looking forwards to maths test actually. I love maths. ahah. I think it's the easiest so far among all those subs i took. Except that my maths lecturer make it so hard.

I'm trying to adapt to a new style of studying. lol. I used to study early in the morning like 4am but now I'm trying to study late at night for a change (as in late at night or early in the morn oso la) we actually found a nice, peaceful place near the mosque which they call the place 'Pavillion'. I went and study there with my frens until 2.30am. It's quite a nice place to study with the lake by our side and the mosque (or maybe not). Not bad actually since I am in need to change my study environment away from my bed and laptop back in hostel. aha. Yea, I'm going there again tonight.

Our English caregroup (Cell Group) and Praise and worship caregroup are combining to have sports tonight. We'll have badminton at 7pm. daphnee n I might just go swimming after dat. aha kinda miss swimming already. lol and we haven't yet try out our ball in the pool.

And I've guitar lessons tmr. yee, finally I'm seriously learning from someone. lol. I never took the time out to really learn from sum1 b4 this and I hope I can learn it fast and soon be able to play a song at least. XD

Some random pix:

AND LASTLY,

I missed hanging out with you guys!!!!

waking up from my hibernation.

My working experience

As you all noe, I'm finally out of my pathetic working life. I couldn't even bare for a month, wonder how u ppl can work for 3 to 4 months. It was just an experience to push me to study hard for a better future. lol. But I would say I love my job environment and my colleagues except for one which always gave us problems and complaints. Meeting more new ppl of all cultures and backgrounds. Im loving every moment i had with all of them tho' i still wan to stop working, it is the time I get to spent with them that i wanna stay. I was kinda sad to leave on the last day anyway. ahah. It was just pure fun having to work with the ppl of the same age or maybe a year or two older. So, there's no generation gap and sort. lol

The fun part is meeting all sorts and all kinds of customers. Some kind and warm-hearted yet some are just pure irritating and with attitude problems. I had even befriend some of those regular customers. lol When I started my work, the first few questions a customer will ask me are "Are you new here?! I didn't see you before this." (like duhh), "Are you the only chinese here?" etc..

The part I'm always afraid during serving the customer would be having to communicate in Cantonese. lol. I do understand them but I need to generate my brain for like 1 minute for every word I speak to them. and I ended up talking less den i do cos I dont really noe how to speak cantonese. I do learn languages during my work. lol I do learn quite a few mandarin words which I never knew all this while.

I wont forget the one customer dat was real friendly and she reminds me of my grandma back in Johor. aha dun think grandma is old and weak. this grandma is hawt and modernised. and so is my grandma. ahah Have fun talking to her and her daughter who works in a lawyer firm.

Some irritating customer would be, coming into the shop with the 'caret' attitude (caret=boastful and mengada as learnt from my supervisor. lol) The customer would flip thru the clothing roughly making all the clothes drop to the floor and we gotta hang them back for them. so wth! And they usually come without the intention of buying but to mess the clothes up.

The worst and the last experience you would want during ur work is COMPLAINTS! There was this couple who came in and look through some clothes as usual. I was the one serving them and who would rmb wat happen as there was so many customer I served dat day. So, I couldn't really rmbed wat happened dat cause them to complain to our BOSS. But I do rmb the two other sales girls were chit-chatting and sitting in front. And this girl (the one I said always gave problem to us) straight away commented on the couple the moment they stepped in. Who knows they would hear her from afar.

After they left, they walked back and fro in front of our shop and look for something and finally the guy took out his hp and jot down the hp no. of our boss from the vacancy paper stick in front of the shop. wth. we thought they wanted to ask for vacancy. And hours later, the boss came, all steamed up and ready to burst into fire. She first head towards the problematic-girl and lectured her for almost half and hour before gathering us all and asked us wat happened. Well, I was kinda afraid cos I was the one serving that customer. but the customer did not mention who was the fault of it lar. And for the first time i realised I would never want to face a boss right in my face scolding like a mad cow. She babbled non-stop for hours and repeatedly saying the same old thing. =.="' Even after the complaint, that 'girl' still continue the way she use to comment on ppl. she shud have been fired long time ago.

Dat was long, aint it? Anyway, the boring part is having to think of wat to eat everyday in dat pathetic mall. really. like there isnt any better food to eat. But lucky I met a new fren working in Voir, Mun Yee to accompany me always during my breaktime.

After almost a month plus working in Jusco, I'd known most of the ppl working there from the ppl working inside jusco to retail shops like scorpion silver, Balalaca, B.U.M., royal sporting, voir, Vyes Rocher, FOS, Elianto. etc etc. and I feel it's just the way you know all of them when ure working there.


My babbling about my leaving.

Im left with less than a week to spent with all my love ones here in klang before I'm really leaving my sweet home to Perak. Oh gosh, all those emotions leaving my home sweet home is coming again just like that moment I'm leaving for NS. And this time, I'm not leaving for mere 3 months but 4 1/2 years!! well, dats one big difference. I'm so gonna miss the ppl here and oso the YA Service here. I rmb how much I MISS YA when I was there in NS. Cos I couldn't much get used to the service over there. But I'm pretty sure GOD will provide for me there in Perak.

Thinking back my journey till today, I couldn't thank GOD enough for all those things he blessed me. From my SPM results to the controversy I'd to go through in thinking where am I heading after Form5. Finally, I'd secured everything and really felt blessed with all these things I never imagined I am getting at all. It was God dat carried me thru all these.


Alright, I'm leaving next friday. It's too soon. And I can't attend the ISCF Rally this year and yes, it's gonna be a huge one since it is the anniversary. I felt like Im missing it big time! How wonderful it is so coincidence to fall on the day I'm leaving. Don't worry you guys I wont forget all of you especially you wormie! XD If our friendship are meant to be, ntg shall break it. =D

I am so not ready to start studying again. my life has been all relaxing and fun for almost 6 months. My brain has been hibernating all this while and yet to start its engine back. Well, I can sense dat my life would get tougher and stressful with all the activities and all. plus, I need to fit in to the new environment and all. I really dun wan to expect much about who am I gonna meet and wat condition of room im gonna get. I'm tired of thinking something which I am not sure about and rather just let it come as it is.

well, dat should be it for the timing about wat I've been doin lately. and WOOTS! I finally got my license done and ready to drive. lol I am one damn slow poke to get my driving license when I can get it done one year ago. And I'm gonna let it rest in peace in my purse for the next four and a half years since i wont be driving in Perak. Just great!

Petronas Educamp. (don't get bored of it)

oh well, it's yet another great experience I gain. yeh, I love this year. It's all about new things and new experiences for me. I went for the Petronas Educamp last Tuesday and Wednesday (22nd & 23rd Apr 08) at Universiti Teknologi Petronas in Perak. It was nice. I traveled there as early as 3.30am in the morning. can't believe it myself. Cos the registration starts at 8am. If I noe they dun give a damn to how early or late u come. I wont even care to get up early to go cos there's ppl reaching the uni as late as 10.30am. wat?! nvm. I got there and found out my mom's car was punctured. Thank God ntg happened along the journey (like the tyre rolling out on the road) it was fortunate of me to get to the uni before the tyre rolls out. the tyre was really flat btw.

The Chancellor Complex

anyway, I checked in to the hostel with another malay girl. I really forgot her name tho' I ask her name twice. I've no idea why I can't rmb cos I'm always good at rmbering ppl's name. so after resting for some time. We get down and go to the Chansellor Hall. If u think u can walk within the uni, ure soo wrong. Cos u'll be tired out by the roadside and call for help in the end. lol you really need to drive within the uni cos tho' it seems near but still its too far to walk. We have a briefing about UTP and the Educamp and bla bla until lunch.

This is village 5. Nice right. But I don't stay here.
I stayed at village 2. Not really dat nice tho'.

Got to meet some friends before the briefing thingy. Met this malay girl from Putrajaya, Haifaa and she speaks real good english. seriously. and she's my best bud in the camp there. enjoy having her around. she's not those typical malay ppl. anyway, I met Joo Ean, a girl from Kedah. The first chinese fren I meet. aha she was an NS trainee as well. lots to share. aha

My tag

After Lunch, I met another girl, Mei Fong (gosh reminds me of my primary fren) She's from Ipoh. Well, me mei fong and joo ean headed to the huge library there which they called Information Resource Centre (IRC). I seriously admire this library a LOT. u'll love it when ure in there. The design and everything really amazed me. the first thing u'll see when ure on ur way to the chancellor hall is the huge library. u can spend hours in there.

The IRC from the outside. further down is all the studies buildings.
dint take any photos from there.

There's 4 levels I think. It's really cool to go up there. aha

Another side of the library. love the lightings. =D

A view from above.

Guess wat. after getting ourselves to the library, we just realized dat the next session which is the Profiling session is in the main hall. And the main hall is at the other end from the chancellor hall. being first time, we three did not noe dat we can take a bus there. so, we walked all the way to the main hall. The situation is just like walking hours in the desert with ur baju kurung and high heels. how ridiculous. we're almost late but we made it there. lol The profiling session is just some surveys or u call it a simple quiz? to see what's ur work preference and all.

Later, we got a campus tour. We broke into groups and tour around the campus. It was tiring cos again we're walking end to end even within the classes. There's different buildings for different courses like business Information System (BIS) has its own building and engineering has its own. The facilities are really good and up-to-date I think. They have this technology for games. Like you wear a glove and a special glasses and u can play the 3D game or something like dat. Dat was so cool. Like dat one you see in Spy Kid. We got to see all those engineering machines and electrical machines as well. There's too much to describe but the one word I'll say is AMAZING.

The green park.

The next day was the BIG day which is the Interview day but they called it Assessment and tests day. I got the first session which is at 8am. I got up at 6am and freeze myself in the shower. seriously cold like pouring ices onto ur body. shiver like mad. den went down for breakfast. I have to say my NS camp serves me better food. aha. no offence. but true. After dat, get on the bus and head to Block B. First, we were put in this 'Holding Room'. After dat, we're adjourned to the 'Waiting Room' to wait for the time. Then, when it's time, we're called to go to the 'Preparation Room' (so many rooms. some seems useless to me) where we all sit in our own panel. Each panel consist of 5 person. And I'm in Panel 8 (good number eh?) Then, we're given 30 mins (but ended up 20mins. I've no idea why.) to do our case study. each one of us were given a paper with different content. so we wont be able to discuss. It was about Sports Policy. sounds hard rite. At first, I was blank but later I cant stop writing all my ideas. Thank God so much dat he guided me with dat.

the morning view of the mosque. So misty in the morning.

Next, we're all shifting to another room where we sit according to our turns. oh well, we can continue preparing for our case study actually but cannot talk at ALL. waited for about one hour before the interview started. then, the room was tensed up. Ppl going to toilet and all. ahah There's 25 panel if I'm not mistaken. All the panel starts the interview together. First was the individual interview and I'm the 5th person to be interviewed in my panel. My panel was the slowest so our group interview ended the last for session A. I think.

I really want to thank God for everything. He really provided for me. I wasn't nervous at all and I was really calm when I went in for my individual interview. Thank God also becos I got two good interviewers. A man and a woman. The man was from UTP while the woman was working with Petronas at KLCC. They both are really nice especially the man. He brief me on UTP and told me what I have to do and say. So, first I intro myself, my family, my school achievement, my future plan and what I can do for Petronas next time. They scribble a lot on the paper. no idea wat. They were friendly and it make me feel all relaxed.

the sunrise. still very misty.
(this shows how early I reached there. -.-)

Then, the group interview. All 5 of us have to discuss about our case study. It was rather a relaxing one as well. I was glad Hayati was in the same panel as me. Becos the night before, she came over to my room and we include my roomate discussed and talk about stuff. So, it was easy for us when we're in the interview room. We talk and talk while the interviewers evaluate us until there's one moment when every1 went out of idea wat to talk and it was super silent. It was awkward but some1 crap something out and the discussion continues again until the interviewer told us to conclude everything.

Well, it was a total relief after the interview. In the afternoon, we have 2 tests to take in the main hall. It was like the normal exam and it reminds me of SPM again. (just dat it was in a big hall with 200 students in it) First, the English Proficiency Test (EPT). It was okay. If you know english well den it wasn't a big problem. It was something like EST also. There'll be passages to read and some ques to answer. But the only concern is the ques and answers are rather tricky. Hopefully I did well.

Next, was the Critical Reasoning Test (CRT). divided into 2 parts. First part, there'll be short passages and 4 or 5 ques. You just gotta answer True, False, or Cannot Say. this really challenge me a lot. There's 60 ques to answer in 30 mins. Not much time to read properly and think. So, gotta choose the best answer u think. Next part, was the IQ test which I kinda like it cos it's diagramic IQ test. Like square, circle, triangle, den next is? haha something like dat. But it was rather challenging as well cos there's 40 ques in 20 mins. I didn't manage to think for the last 4 ques and shoot for the best answer. ahah. (actually it was the helper that pass by my table tht whispered to me to shoot for an answer -.-)

so, dats practically my whole 2 days of tiring yet happy moments at the educamp. I would say I gain lots of experience especially the interview cos it was conducted so differently from any other interview I've ever been to. Yes, my circle of friends got bigger again. met cool ppl and gonna keep in touch with them. So, I really Thank God so much for He provide me strength and guidance to go through this thing. And also I know I must do my best for there's so many ppl supporting me from behind *edit* even my grandparents. *edit*

Love my grandpa! He's so lovely to send me RM300 as a reward for my SPM results. dat was shocking and I dun expect it at all (cos I really think my results wasn't good enough) Thanx grandpa. He even wrote a letter from Johor and its on its way to Klang. aha. He did not tell but my grandma called and told. Cos she cant keep it to herself I think. She said grandpa wrote a long long letter. lol can't wait to see.

This is the longest post I ever write. lol Hopefully you readers gain something from it. Maybe, somebody dat might go for this educamp next time?

well, I shall stop my rantings by now. ^^

the 18 me.

well, I'm officially 18 already. still dun feel like it. aha. still cant drive. wth. haven't even touch the steering wheel and sit on the driver seat. wat man?! haih. But a lot THANX to everyone who wishes me on my birthday tho' I ended up having to ask most of the ppl who are they? cos I lost all of their contacts. So, I practically gotta ask them who're they the whole day for I have no idea who sms-ed me or even call me. lol I was shocked when Retna called and wish me Happy Birthday. I was like "who's this?" She was kinda sad when she said," you dono me?" lol I thought it was sum1 from my ns camp. Thanx also for all the lovely gifts.

Special thanx to Natalie who took the time out just to make the card for me and send it rite to my doorstep. aha. It's a simple yet memorable birthday I got. Love it. And the biggest and bestest gift I ever needed from God is getting through to the Petronas Scholarship interview. Getting selected for the interview is already one big great achievement. Thank God so much for it. Whether to get the offer or not, it just depend on God. Well, I'm happy enough to get the offer to go for interview. Most of all, get to experience the Educamp life at UTP.




It is a nice place to study with the facilities so advanced and nicely built buildings, it really attracts any1 that wants to go there. I really love the place but the only thing that you need to bare in this Uni is "malays". well, no offence but they really offer to many malays and prioritised them in the study. =( the saddest news is they only set aside around 10% for non-malays. (I mean the scholarship). So, I know my chance will be even less than 1%. And for that reason, I dun really put high hopes for it, I just want to enjoy myself during the camp and of course the place itself. ahah.. ^^v

Lastly, here's a video dedicated to everybody. ahah. I especially like this song a lot. <3>

The grass is flourishing, the fog is magical
The woman I like lives by the water
I will go against current to be by her side
However, there is dangerous beach and the road is far and long
I will follow the current to look for her
She seems to be in the center of the water
I will go against current to whisper to her
However, there is dangerous beach and the road is absolutely difficult to walk
I will follow the current to look for her
She seems to be waiting at the center of the water
