Year 2 wrap.

As i said earlier on, this is an edited timeline post. i edited the actual date to be much earlier, so i don't lose track when i review my life after im getting old. *cheaaaaattttt*

Okayh, in short, this is to wrap up my second year of uni life. Starting from Sem 1 to Sem 2, i'm starting to have pieces falling off, it sounds like a zillion days away from me. LOLLLLLLL

Let me start from the very beginning.

Sem 1:

I actually was accepted by 988 Cruiser around end of August and my school starts in September, so i actually started working since the very beginning of my year 2 uni life. Starting from year 2, i'm a full time student and a part time cruiser, but in fact it's actually reversed. MUAAHHHAHAH. Those who know me know i'm a workaholic, but at the same time i'm still a student though, academic couldn't be really set aside and left to die. So between sleep, activities and studies where you only get to chose 2 out of 3, i sacrificed sleep. To be honest, my health is going down hill especially since 2nd year. I overworked myself, but what to do, i'm just so used to being busy. I had insomnia when i was having my 2 months sem break back in hometown coz i was too free. Errrrr...
Okayh, back to the topic.

1. Campus Election
I could barely remember that i was involved in campus election? I've been really busy with UMANY and campus election. I was the candidate for Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, but i was lost by 49 votes. It's okayh, i still earned a very precious experience though.  I was very grateful that i had really committed comrades in Pro-Mahasiswa and UMANY to battle with me, and also support from my coursemates and seniors. They helped a lot in campaigning, and that time i really felt warm and touched by the unconditional love that was showered upon me. I wasn't really interested to take art at first but i really wanted to do something to fight for student's rights and welfare. But even if i fail, i still could do something. Battle never ends, and fighter never quits. I just felt sorry for all the hardwork they have put in to help me win, all the time and efforts sacrificed. I have my own banner, poster, namecard and everything. The atmosphere during the campus election was one of the best moments in my uni life. Cooperation that goes far beyond racial status made me really happy, and since that time i know how hard it is to work behind stage, and i've decided to help out in the next year even if i don't compete. That time i was really stretched and tired. Attached some photos as well.



2. 21st Birthday
Below was taken during my 21st birthday dinner with my sis at Kingyo, a Japanese cuisine. I actually don't really cold sushi cuisine, but i love hot stuffs and SASHIMI. Lovesss.  *flykisses* 
There were more photos, i'll try to dig it out. Searching photos was quite difficult to me. Miaooo.


And also, i've granted myself the perfect present; i've registered myself as an eligible voter.
I think it's awesome. BTW, have you? :D

3. PBCUM (Persatuan Bahasa Cina UM) 
Besides involving in campus election, i was the External Vice-President of Mandarin Society of University of Malaya. Err, i don't have much to talk about, coz i don't think talking about the negative experiences i had would improve anything. What i could tell is i wasn't so happy coz i've got too much restrictions and objections against me, and only a few share the same ideology with me. It is a bit difficult to work with people who doesn't share the same mindset, but it's okayh, i'll just take it as a learning platform to work with other peoples. Of course, there were happy moments too; getting to know new peoples, and also when the committee board travels to a new place like Pulau Ketam, and we had a fun meeting trip. It was all fine. Still, it's a good learning base, but somehow it's not what i wanted. The challenge is to keep a safe distance from the influence of OTHER societies and club and to keep good reputation of PBCUM. 

4. 988 Cruiser
Back to work, i really gained lots of experiences, i get to exposed to different situations. 
And one of them was to collect donation items for the victims of flood in Kuantan. During end of year 2013, Kuantan experienced one of the most serious flood in 40 years. I was quite worried too, coz it was my hometown and i couldn't make time coz i need to prepare for exams, but luckily i was able to contribute a little.

and also, for the first time, we get to involve in MV shooting for 988 CNY Album, as kelefe. xD
 yeng sial. xD

with DJ, PM Wang. He's super duper friendly :D

That was wrap for sem1 for what i recall. Heh, imma an old lady, couldn't rmb a thing.
Alright, into sem 2!

5. Dayao
FYI, I was the head for singer department, it was really stressed as it wasn't a one or 2 days stuffs. We started planning and preparing since sem1, and i came out with some activities for singers as a training base. One of them was Mini Concert, i only have a wekk to prepare. I know it wasn't perfect and i always have that habit to pull every responsibilities on me, and when things are not properly communicated, people don't feel involved, and end up you will have to do all on your own. I was angry and helpless, so helpless. I have so many to do, on my own. However, you will learn something from every incident. *true enough*

Sem 1 then just end with exams and camps. 

Sem 2: 

Still i've never stop busying with stuffs, but i have some events that have spiced up my life, naiiiiseeee, hectic yt adventurous. I get to try something really new and i'm really happy about it.

1. Open Mic
The first thing i do after coming back from CNY was performing in Open Mic at Good Friends Cafe, SS 15. Open mic is a session opened to public to perform in a cafe, live, this event is promoted by famous local Jazz singer Winnie Ho and DJ Piao Min. Winnie owns the cafe, so she provides a platform for us to perform. They do it by announcing the theme of the month early and if you would like to perform, send her an e-mail, and some demo, then she will decide. Piao Min, the 988 DJ, he actually invited us to attend, but Qi Jian and I, we were ambitious enough that we told him we wanna perform, and unexpectedly, he encouraged us, and we sent Winnie an e-mail. As a reward to our courage, we're rewarded a chance to perform. The theme was 主播篇, err, we just dont care, even if we're just tiny potatoes, we just wanna grab any chance that is possible. Heh, performing is our passion, we'll not let it slip through the fingers. We get Caryn, Ricky and Mark to help us with the music, and we didn't realize ours is like the team that has the most complete performance, with keyboard , guitar and cajon, while others is either with a keyboard or a guitar only. OOPSS, dayao pattern. After rounds and rounds of discussion, we barely come to a consensus, i'll be singing Close To You by Olivia Ong, Qi Jian will be singing 温柔by Mayday, and the duet song is........ "TAAADAAHHHH, 早安,晨之美!by卢广仲." That was a really good piece and of course it's so easy to sing and everybody in the cafe tends to sing together, that is what that makes me feel elated. :DD





oh, i love this photo so much :)


2. Dayao

Dayao falls on 4th May, and we have to prepare for it for the whole March and April. That was mid semester, where we were either having mid-semester test or submission deadline for assignments. I literally died fighting my way out, you may refer to PDS on May 2014 post for detailed article. But somehow Dayao was never on my to-cross out list, no matter how busy and restless am i. Dayao does not just attached physically but also emotionally to us, we spent time together, band practicing, busking, supper, makan-makan, gaigai (jalan-jalan). It has formed a bond that gave us enormous  strength to face challenges positively. Though tired and stretched out, we always want to make sure we do our best in Dayao.

Photo after busking.
The awesome Team A. We were crazy enough that we get into bus coz we're tired of walking and we started to sing, everyone was so enjoyed, and of course we felt awesome. Just awesome.





rehearsal timeee


3. MAG

I couln't recall the name of our team of performing, if i'm nt mistaken, it should be "Royal Symphony". Kimberly, Wei Tang and I made a team to perform in our college dinner, themed Royal. I sang Skyfall and Set Fire To The Rain? I can't remember what i sang exactly, but should be these two. However, it was all good when i was doing rehearsal, but after waiting to long, coz the dinner delayed, my voice couldn't take it, and needed rest, so when i sing, i literally lost my voice, and i know i didn't perform as good as during rehearsal. *sigh*, but what to do, i don't get to sleep for two weeks.






4. PBCUM

I knew I was very busy, but couldn't reject coz this was my turn to take up the responsibility to organize an event for PBCUM. So i took up the challenge, i was the Organizing Chairman. Not too much to say, it's just a farewell and installation + AGM, time to say goodbye, time to put down my burden. Still, i thank for every learning opportunity.





5. MFace

Ohh, this was a very great breakthrough point, i gt to get in contact with this because of 嘉荣老师. My cohost is Jyun, my best partner in 988 and also one of my best fren. We cohosted together, streaming live. It's quite challenging as we have to keep looking at the camera as if we're looking at someone, keep talking, keep preparing photos, songs and videos to play. I have to admit at first, i thought this was quite erm,, "visual" type instead of "hosting" type of programme, because a lot of the "so-called" DJ on other channels are quite low quality and some they would just do sexy dancing in front of the camera to gain attention. But we still decided to join because this channel “酷视台” was really different. Each of us host professionally with all efforts and passion. We like it! And just by the time we thought it's time to sign a contract, it came to an end. It was short, we hosted only for a month. *sigh* What to do, shit happens. But still, i appreciate very much for precious experience gained, and awesome peoples i've met.

6. UM Scroll

Well, the last epic ones before the sem ends, and UM always wanna surprise us with some choking policies during exam week. This time on, RM50 fees for UM Paper Scroll upon graduation. Like, really? seriously? We studied so hard just for a piece of cert, why would you even grab it away from us? We were so dissatisfied, so we went for some protest. It's exam week, not much ppl who showed support, but we did one campaign "Paper Donation Campaign" since UM is so short of paper, *sarcasm level to the max* and a lot people supported us, and the news went viral within hours. Yu Sheng and I worked really hard on this and finally the school authority tolerated. What a good news to cherish ! Let's cherish the power of students' voice! :DD

 oops, only one quarter is coloured, aiyo students marh, no money marh. what to do?




Okayh, lastly, i bought a new handphone-- Huawei Ascend P6, more awesome photos are to be uploaded. :DD


xoxo,
kbyethx.



Resolution before wrappppp

I literally forgot when was the last time i wrote a post on my bloggie.
So sorry, I couldn't keep to the promise, to write it as often as i could, i was too busy.
I think i haven even have the time to do a wrap for my sec year?
Okayh, i know i'm A epic fail blogger.
I like to write but was not motivated enough to sacrifice my sleep.
Okayh, my bed is my drugs and i have the worst addiction to it. ikr, i can imagine this facial expression on your face.


Okayh, im actually blogging this in a cafe, and i forgot to bring along my laptop charger. So, before my batt runs out, i better do a quick post. *cheattttt* *retardedness*

Okayh, what i wanted to do is to list out my resolution for year 2015. 
It's late, coz i had exam, *excuses* #iknowwxcusesagain #whateverlabetterlatethannone
Though it's late, but i have to do it and really list them out, else...
The bad habit will go recycle again like last year. I was to busy to list out my resolutions and i kept procrastinating.. and ended up, i forgot about all my resolutions. wtf. I barely remember one, that is to do bilingual hosting, and i did it, though my performance was not as stunning, but at least i would say it's a great start.

So, what i'm going to do this year is, i'm going to set vision and mission for year 2015. Besides setting goals to achieve, but also monthly challenge to work things out. Every month, i will list out one challenge i'm going to overcome or to mission to achieve on social media, publicly, and then to evaluate the results at the end of month. It can be something simple, like read up to 3 books a month or to lose 2 kgs. This idea came across my mind because i always have a lot to do but always have no enough time, or i should say, sometimes i don't know where to start. So by achieving each small steps, i will gain more satisfaction and motivation to achieve more. So, this is my own way to motivate myself to go beyond further.

Resolutions:
  1. To involve in trilingual hosting. (this has been achieved, in year 2015, before i wrote this, wheee) I'm now officially an emcee for Chinese, English and Cantonese. Please don't hesitate to contact me for job, u know where to find me. XDDD
  2. To improve/ bring up my CGPA. (achieving good grades is not always my vision, this was fixed after i finished my exam, coz i know, this time chao da sudah)
  3. To get 'A' for my thesis ( of coz! it is what that represents my entire uni life )
  4. To lose weight, i literally meant to tone up my abs. I'm sick enough to bounce back again and again instantly after i lost some weight.
  5. To buy a car. ( Hopefully *fingerscrossed*)
  6. To read more books.
  7. To travel alone once.
And since this month is coming to an end already, and i was lazy and slow enough to only blog about this nearly in the end of month. I've decided to have 2 resolutions for February, that is to lose tummy fats and read up to 2 more books (i've done reading one back in hometown, wheeee)

Ok, that's it ! I know i have no enough motivation and dedication, so hopefully i could achieve more by lining out all my monthly resolutions rather than annual resolutions.

Kbyethx. See ya again soon.
