3rd Word...

The third word that always appears in my mind nowadays is “TRAVEL”, from one location to another location, especially whenever the time to go back to home. Imagine actually it’s just 2hours plus from Selangor back to Malacca, but just because need to go out from university to puduraya bus station take 1hour, then reach puduraya take bus back Malacca need 2hours, reach Malacca central need half an hour, total up I take around 3hours plus to back home. But this stills not enough, when there is traffic jam or wait for time to depart, total up have waste a lot of time to travel from Selangor to back hometown. Sigh…

Old Stories

Below was an old article that I had wrote for a forum of university course. Let's have a look...

What is a friend?

A friend is someone we can have fun with, share secrets or problems together, ask advice and many more. We need to treat our friends with receptiveness, humour, love and others to maintain the friendship, just like the way we treat our beloved family members. From my point of views, a friend is like one of my family members in my life. Friend is the one I can trust on beside than my parent. A true friend is willing to spend time to be my good listener and adviser whenever I need them to be by my side. A true friendship is precious and cannot be replacing by anyone or anytime if we lost it. Also, we require a long time and energy to build up a true and worth friendship with someone. I am sure everyone have a lots of friends in their life from everywhere, but can any of you classified which one is the true one, and which one is just a normal friend in your life?

In my life, I have two good friends where I knew them separately for around nine years. One which I met her during Form One Chinese class, whereas the other one I knew her during our co-curriculum activities. Earlier, we does not get closer easily as we met, and we even felt awkward to talk to each others. As time pass, we became like sisters who always get together whenever we can, because we were from different classes during school days. We share secrets and problems together, ask advice when we are facing difficulties, cry together when get bad results, smile happily when we get good news and etc.

For example, during the time we had trial examinations for SPM, one of my good friend was sad because she cannot concentrated to do revision due to stress which caused she did badly in the examinations. Thus, I spent time to listen her problems and tried to advice her. She cannot control her sad feeling after listened what I had said about, and cried out. During that time, I felt helpless when saw she is crying, all I can do just lent her my shoulder and cried together to release her tension.

Next, another good friend of mine is the one who always help me in the studies. I am a person who can easily give up when I am facing problems. During school days, she is the one who always advise and guide me when I cannot solve problems. Also, she willing to share all her notes and extra information she can get with me to help me cope with our studies. She is my good listener who always listens to me without any complain. I feel great and lucky to meet both of them in my life. To conclude, we must maintain our friendship with love and do not ever forget them although now we are staying at the different places to further our studies.

The Second Word

Now let’s talk about the 2nd word that I really do not like nowadays, there is the word of “CHANGE”. At local and public university, we students always fight for entering the group of lectures that we prefer to attend for the new coming semester. But then we may face of the problem that some lecturers may change the time of lectures or laboratory, thus clash with the time of other courses. Or another case is when we have arrange the timetable correctly with the lectures that we would like to attend, but then face the problem of changing lecturer due to their personal reasons.

Furthermore, it’s when the university courses that provided all clash with the timetable, thus we student need either drop this course and take it on the next semester, or we need to go other faculty and join with other courses’ groups. For the 1st choice its fine, we can take it next time. But for the 2nd choice, we need to settle with different departments for taking a course at different faculty, such as the course just provided for what what courses student, so we need to ask department’s help to key in our name in the list from online system. But before that, we need to meet the Prof. that in charge of this course, ask her or his permission for us to enter the group from different faculty, and then need fill in what permission form, send to our faculty, and wait their stuff to settle. A long process is just to open quota for us to enter the group.

The worst problem is when we need prerequisite of a course only can take the coming next semester courses, so we cannot just skip that course and choose to take other courses first. This will disturb the procedure of learning a main course before we graduate.

Next thing I would like to talk about it’s when the time we want to change the bus ticket. For example during this Chinese New Year holidays, I had bought bus tickets that the time when I had attended all lectures and ready to back home for holidays. Unfortunately, the lecturer sudden thought of cancelled the laboratory and let us back home early. T.T… When the time lecturer announced it, it was too late for me to change bus tickets to an early time. Sigh… Even I get to change, also need to pay extra charge fees. And the part I hate the most is delay of the bus, actually I must depart at 1.30pm, but then the people of the bus company asked me to sit 2pm bus, due to the problem of bus. What the… All the work I had plan burned, spoilt all my purposes. Sigh…

How to avoid it?

First Word...

After entered into the 2nd year of the horticulturist life in the university, I had learnt, did a lot of different things, works. I had seen and knew different things that I will never get to know if I didn’t entered into university.

But, I had found out few words that I really do not like at all after entered to university. First of all, the word of “WAIT”. Argh… Cannot imagine that how many times I had spent to wait for college buses, wait for people to go to classes, wait the time to go back home from puduraya station, wait for courses registration through online system, etc. Especially when the time to go back to home, during that time I always alone go and back home, everything that I need to do is to be alert and make sure for myself safety. I think I am getting use to it, since as I always like to work out everything by myself, and seniors taught me before to be more independent whenever I can.

Then, the worst and serious problem is when the time to wait for college buses whenever I need to g out from room to main campus, faculty and other places. Sigh… This is the worst thing that we, students need to face on every day, especially during hot day, when we need to rush out for lectures, need to back room to rest and many more. Can imagine we always rush here and there by taking buses in university just to go to lectures. Somemore, I have a lot of lab or practical time that always do at the ladang places, such ladang TPU, ladang 2,5,10... Where got buses that would like just to send us there? That's the time when I will think that, it's good if I have car at there.
