I have a friend...I suppose you don't know him. His name is Wayne. I'm horrified by how frequent he smokes.

Yee Won: How long have you been smoking?
Wayne: Since i was in Standard 6.
Yee Won: Whoa, that's a whole 9 years you've been smoking.
Wayne: It can't be helped, i just find it hard to quit smoking.

He's smoking everwhere. Crossing the road, waiting outside the shops, after he has his meals, I just couldn't take it. He's such a heavy smoker, since i've been to KL,i told myself i shouldn't judge a person's attitude even if he's a smoker. My friends around me should know i detest smokers a lot. i was thinking maybe he picked up this bad habit from someone close(family, Life is unfair, we can't choose good or bad families to live in) or they don't have anything better to do by lighting up cigarettes and puffing them as if they look so cool.

I tried walking beside him, but the wind direction was blowing from sideways, that meant that the '2nd Hand Smoke' was drifting towards me! Man, gotta walk behind him... I've inhaled a fair amount of smoke originated from Sumatra, i think i'd really should be taking care of my respiratory system since he doesn't.*Disgusted*

I know i'm in no position to yell QUIT SMOKING at them. It's their life, if they don't want their lungs it's ok. Who's stupid enough to burn away their money by lighting cigarettes? Burn to their ancestors la, at least you'll be regarded as 'filial'...Staining their teeth,and one or two of yr teeth will be more 'yellower' than other coz that's the teeth that holds the cigarette in place. Yikes~, kissing must be really horrendous with over 400 chemicals(from cigarette) in his saliva + your saliva.

I'm going to study Nursing. i think it's natural for me to be more concerned in health care, to make more people be aware how harmful it is to smoke. If you smoke for fun out of curiousity i won't blame you, because you had also asked yr mum, 'Mum,where do babies come from?'

Here's an Anti-Smoking Ad i found in YOUTUBE. A dying patient with his voicebox removed and lung cancer is still very OPTIMISTIC in life. I wonder if i'm a nurse in 3 years, would i choose to tell the truth or the 'beautiful lie'to a patient ?

Hello, i haven't updated my blog for the longest time. It feels like i've deserted it,and i have no loyal readers to my blog. But once i get it correctly set up, i'm going to promote it my friends that seldom stay in contact with me. Anyway, who smses a distant friend regularly or view their friends hard-copy photographs?The 'in' thing now is to post it in friendster and i'm very sure that your friends in FRIENDSTER will definitely get a chance to view the latest news and photos you've updated. Nearly everyone goes online and logs in Friendster or other peoples blog to see what they are up to.I guess this is the way my friends will know what i am doing once i'm in Tasmania studying.

I've visited the Cari Chinese Forum. They(students studying in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane...) said the night life there was boring like hell. I suppose this is what they mean by 'condusive studying environment'.But they said Tassie (Tasmania) is a beautiful place without pollution and i'm really looking forward to see it with my eyes,because " bai3 wen2 bu4 ru2 yi2 jian4". i'm not writing it in Chinese because this blog skins doesn't support Chinese Characters. I shall find one that has this feature.

I found this video quite interesting. It's a condom advertisement which i found it at youtube.com, i don't know how i stumbled upon it... It's really unbelievable they had this idea, i'm really impressed by their creativity.

I've just finshed printing out my 'accounting and finacial management' assignment.Going to midvalley later. sounds so lame, becz if i dun go out, i'll get crazy by continuing to stay in the um campus. i wanted to buy newspaper from the convenient store, but the storekeeper told me they don't sell newspapers...sien ar~can't even own one decent copy of newspaper. i don't know what's happening outside, only through the internet. But these computers don't have chinese language. i prefer reading chinese newspapers. at home, i used to take them for granted... Sigh~boring life in UM

Hey guys, how have u been? There’s somethng important here that I have to update about my personal life. I’m not proud of it, but I’ve just broken up with Woon Han a few days ago. I don’t know how I got by for these past few days, but I’m doing fine. Nothing to worry about. It seems ironic because we just had our 2-year anniversary of our relationship. That's abt it. I don't feel like commenting anything about the break-up, just think it's better for us to lead our own paths, from a long-term point of view.

Actually, I've been spending a lot of time uploading Redang Island photos so that i can come out with a nice slideshow. So, give any comments about the picture posted! Apologies if some pictures offended any party.It's just for pure entertainment! Chill...

12th College Facilities

The Garden between Block c & d

KK12 lake which we soaked in. It has magnificient lights at night!

TV corner, it's packed with people, especially between 7pm-8pm.

Court where basketball and futsal are played.

Typical room for 2.

Yo guys, haven't updated my blog for a long time!! I'm now in the cybercafe of Kolej Kediaman 12, the best college in University Malaya. I feel really relieved after the orientation week,because during thta week, there wasnt enough time to eat and rest.And on the last day of the orientation in the Kembara Malam, we actually had to soak ourselves in the stinky, muddy lake just between the blocks of KK 12! We were instructed to wear fully-covered shoes (no slippers allowed), and mud was entering our shoes thoroughly. I don't even feel like wearing back the shoe again.There's still so much sand inside even though i've washed it so many times. But there was a fun part of it, at least on the KK 12 residents got the 'lucky chance' to enter the lake, it's been the tradition for freshies to enter the lake before they can officially call themsleves '12th College residents' ~ The PMs (Pembantu Mahasiswa/wi) were very helpful along the way, though i never bothered to ask for their assistance anyway. There's a PM called Adam who is a 杜德伟look-alike. But i find PM Yong Tat荣达 being the most helpful and sporting one!Most importantly,the good-looking one! There was 1 part where we walked around the campus in themiddle of the night and went to 'sub' other colleges( shouting slogans like 12th, 12th, 12th, Yo, Yo,Yo,Kolej Lain, Poyo Poyo Poyo!). Most of the time i think we were 'shiok sendiri', because they didn't respond to our 'sub'. Imagine walking from12th college ,passing by 5th college,Academic of Islamic Studies and in the map you'll see there's suddenly no buildings along the road. It's because it's Bukit Aman (also known as Bukit Cinta). Our PM told us if u parked your car beside the road on Bukit Cinta, you'll be halau by the Keselamatan Polis of UM, you should know the reason behind this better than me, haha! .Then we walked down the hill and went to 'sub' at 8th College, 3rd College and lastly 2nd College.

It looks like a short distance to walk a circle in the campus of UM, but actually it's very far! Eg: from 12th College to my faculty ( Faculty of Built Environment) takes about 15 minutes. I find myself leading a healthy lifestyle after living 2 weeks in UM, everyday 15 minutes of walk, i'm sure it's a good form of exercise because in JB we rely a lot on cars to go to our destination, even if it's a trip to a near by convenient store. If the time of our lectures are more than 3 hours apart, we'll go back to our college to rest and take our bathe, that means 1 hour of walking in a day alone... Thank God we don't have classes on Friday,or else we would have to wait til Friday to go back to our hometown.

Anyway,those are the higlights of my Orientation week,(sorry if it made you yawn_+_*). Hope you'll give me some comments, whether good or bad! Thanks a lot! ( Next episode - 12th College facilities and Estate Management)

Hello, to those who have been reading my blogs, thanks a lot for your support. i do not reckon i have interesting, heart-melting stories to share with you, but i'm satisfied as long i share my daily normal-to-hell stories with you...

I haven't posted a blog entry for about a month, so what have i been doing lately? After meeting with Bryan Teu (see previous blog entry), i started applying Degree courses on NUrsing, so i applied for quite a few unis such as University of Tasmania, Curtin University of Technology & Southern Cross University (the later has mid-year intakes).Unfortunately, no news heard from Curtin & Southern Cross yet, maybe it's because i haven't took my IELTS exam yet.

A few days ago, i received an E-mail from Uni of Tasmania, announcing that i had been accepted to a Nursing degree course in Launceston, Tasmania. This also included a scholarship of 25% deduction from my tuition fees. After reading the e-mail, i was seethed with excitement. The total tuition fee for the 3-year degree course is AUD$ 40,500, after deducting 25%, the total tuition fee i have to pay is AUD$30,375, convert it to Ringgit is AUD$30,375 x 3(+,-)=RM 91,125. My dad has to pay a total of RM 91,125 for the 3-year degree course for my studies in Tasmania, Australia. Before this, Monash Uni of Malaysia offered Biotechnology to me, if i want to accept the offer, i'll have to pay for my 1st semester fees, approximately RM 15,000 (per semester, including lab fees). There are 6 semester in 3 years, RM 15,000 x 6 = RM 90,000.* Note the figures in red, if you ask me, which one will i choose, of course i'll choose to study in Tasmania , Australia. The tuition fee for 3 years compared to Biotechnology and Nursing doesn't vary a lot, hopefully i'll be granted scholarships when i get there! According to Shao Hern, Tasmania is a rural and remote ---> super 'ulu'的地方. Well, most importantly, i'm not interested in laboratory work and i can't imagine having to do research using all kinds of high-tech gadgets, looking into microscopes and experimenting with samples, DNAs and all that kind of biology stuff. I know myself well enough i'm not a 'lab-genius' who likes fiddling with test tubes and scientific instruments. I started thinking and thinking... and i told myself i shouldn't waste my dad's money to study something i'm not interested in, although ' Biotechnology' is highly sought after by many undergraduates nowadays, it's the 'in' thing to study at the moment. Moreover, Biotechnology sounds nice too...

The course will commence in February 2007, so i will have to wait another half a year or so. I've wasted so much time by just 'waiting' to get into university. But the letter mentioned i'll be graduated in 31st December 2009. When my dad knew that i got the offer from Uni of Tasmania, he was thrilled and phoned his friend ( he has a son studying medicine at Uni of Tasmania) to tell him about the good news and asked him how this small town ' Launceston" is. My dad even started planning that he will visit friends in Melbourne, Wellington & Sydney, but ma and i said my dad 想太多了! I'll still apply for other universities for the Bachelor of Nursing course, not giving up even though i got 1 offer. Many people will ask whether i like this course or not? i will answer them," i'll definitely choose Nursing over Biotechnology, because i prefer dealing with people rather than high-tech equipments. Who would ever think o taking a degree course in Nursing, because diploma "够吃了!" (say it loudly in Hokkien)

My grandma thinks it's a dirty job, and told me being a teacher would be a wiser decision! But after being a GSTT (Guru Sandaran Tidak Terlatih) for approximately 5 months, i think i didn't learn much besides the failure of education policy in Malaysia. Kids are being tormented with so much homework, exercises on papers, extremely heavy schoolbags, after-school tuitions and expecting high academic achievements! i wonder how i went through 6 years of hell in primary school. The kids in the 'not-so-good" classes, "只是马来西亚教育政策的牺牲品罢了!" Not everyone is born with intelligent brains. In conclusion, i find myself learning practically nothing as being a GSTT for 5 months.

Uncle Tom (not Tom & Jerry 的 Tom) once said, " this profession will take you anywhere in the world! It's a passport to any country." Sounds too good to be true, bit i really hope to see more of the world when i'm still young. Give me any comments okay?i really hope to hear from you! Still dunno what Malaysia Uni will offer to me, better be something good!
