Last dinner for 2010 and Resolutions for 2011

31th December 2010 is the last day of 2010. It was a windy and sunny Friday morning; guess is because Chinese New Year is just around the corner. Wonder why the days just before Chinese New Year is always hot and windy. For the first time I drove the car with mum and dad to our garden’s Tesco with my newly bought sunglasses yesterday at Kajang Focus Point. It was cool… Actually dad planned to buy a new 42in LCD at Tesco because of the offer but so happen they were out of stock, we can only buy the display model so we didn’t buy it. They then went to Kajang Tesco to try their luck to buy it but it was fruitless. Perhaps it is now the end of the year, they didn’t want to buy new stocks. 

Evening I helped mum to prepare the last dinner for 2010. We had fish and chips and a whole turkey, all home made. Even though every year I hope that one day I could celebrate with my friends, count down with them together, but nonetheless, celebrating with family isn’t that bad though…

As usual at night after dinner I’ll watch TVB from my laptop, while watching suddenly I received a call from an old friend, whom I dislike him by his character. He invited me along with his friends to go the Shah Alam park for a walk tomorrow morning but I told him I’m having a violin class tomorrow so I can’t go.

He might sounds like a nice person, asking a friend out for a gathering, but the conversation not ends yet. After telling him I’m not free to go, I told him maybe next time I’ll go out with him. However, He said next time they won’t be going to that Shah Alam park anymore. The way he spoke to me was like saying that I won’t have the chance to go there anymore, and it’s like he’s ‘laughing’ at me. I don’t understand what so particular if I can’t pay a visit to that park. I wouldn’t go even if I don’t have any program tomorrow. 

The conversation continues with me telling him this Sunday I’ll be having a gathering with my old classmates. When he asked and I told him whom am I going out with, he said ‘cheh!’. Wah, that time I was getting annoyed by him. How could he insults my friends! And then the conversation ends.

I couldn’t believe I have this kind of ‘friend’ saying these things to me at the last few hours of 2010. Anyway, I didn’t think so much about this as I was busy watching the TVB. 

The clock strikes 12am. My Facebook wall all posted with wishes to friends saying Happy New Year 2011. The sky outside my room window filled with bright colourful sparks of fireworks. My phone, however, only received 3 wishes from my friends. 

The year 2010 finally comes to an end. It wasn’t a very good year for me as compared to 2009. Year 2009 was all about fun, happiness, sadness and unwillingness because it was the last year for many Form 5 students in secondary schools. Few days after Christmas I went back to Yu Hua, my old secondary school, to help my brother to apply to study there. The last time I stepped in this school compound was when I received my SPM results in March. Although 9 months later I stepped back here, I still can remember everything happened in this school. Suddenly I felt regret for taking Foundation instead of studying Form 6. Anyway, what has passed had passed, I cannot turn back now but to look forward to my last semester in Foundation. 

It is now 1^st of January 2011. I can’t think of many resolutions for 2011. Maybe I can list out a few.

1. I have to change myself to be more optimistic in doing everything, including group assignments in University. Even though my group mates wouldn’t lend a helping hand to finish the task, I have to do all by myself, willingly. Instead of complaining to everyone, I should thank them as I can learn more.

2. I have to put more efforts on my violin. The reason I stopped staying in hostel is to practice my violin well at home. I’m paying RM200 per month for professional violin course and I couldn’t waste my time doing nothing in my hostel. I MUST graduate my violin before I finish my Degree in 2013. 

3. I need to be sharper and more focus in driving so that my dad has confidence on my driving and hope that he’ll let me drive alone one day without his sitting beside me looking at the mirror to lookout for cars for me. Every time I have violin and theory class he has to wait for me 1 hour each doing nothing until the class ends and fetch me back home. If I could drive alone, he wouldn’t waste so much of his time.

4. 10^th January 2011 my second semester result will out.  I hope I can get GPA 3.7 or above to maintain my scholarship. I’ll feel that I’m stupid if a person who gets 8A in SPM like me but couldn’t get GPA3.7 or above in Foundation where the papers in Foundation are so easy. 

5. After I graduated my Foundation course in May, I hope to find a good job with good salary as my part time while waiting for UCSI September intake. Yes, I’ve decided to transfer to UCSI for my degree. Read more on my previous blog. Hope the job I get will be related to accounting. 

The list will go on and on. The most important thing is that I hope 2011 will be a great year to me, just like in 2009. I’m sad that I can’t find a true best friend in Nilai University. The time is now 2.55am 1^st of January 2011. I cannot sleep because my stomach was very full before this, so I decided to write this blog. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011! Hope everyone’s wish will comes true………

KLIUC; Nilai UC; UCSI?

Did i make a wrong move 8 months ago? All I know is that I made a wrong decision taking diploma in mobile and network technology in KLIUC. But on the first day of class, I applied to withdraw from that university because I dislike the environment. So, I chose to study in Nilai UC although I would be much pleased if I could study in INTI University instead because it gives me the University feeling, whereas in Nilai, I got a hospital feeling.

From the first semester Nilai had gave me a bad impression, just like what I had mentioned in the previous blog. I can't wait to transfer to another University, which is UCSI because it is much cheaper.

I went to UCSI open day last Saturday 18th December 2010. Actually last Wednesday I went there once to ask because so happen I was in KL that time. The marketeers told me I couldn't use my second semester result to apply for degree even though I have finish my foundation program next year, unless my foundation result is out then I can apply to study there. I couldn't make sure of what they told me so I went for their open day to confirm it because I have a friend who had just finished her foundation program and will study in UCTI next January. She told me she already applied to study there by using her second semester results. So after confirming that I couldn't apply for their May intake so I have to wait for September intake.

During the open day, I talked to the accounting lecturer there. She said she needs to see the syllabus of my subjects in my foundation to see whether I have to take their foundation program or not. I was suddenly so scare that I couldn't go straight to degree with my foundation from Nilai and I have no choice but to continue in Nilai. But I think she's wrong. I should be able to go straight to my degree using my Foundation cert from Nilai.

I was also disappointed to know that I couldn't apply for their May intake because my last semester in Nilai will end later than UCSI, so my result will not out until around mid of may. That time when I knew this I told myself that I made a wrong move to study in Nilai. I have even thought of directly apply to study their foundation for next semester and immediently withdraw from Nilai UC but how can I do this?

So now I really hope everything goes well as planned. I hope to study degree in UCSI next year September and not Foundation! Even they really couldn't accept my Nilai foundation, what should I do? Should I take their foundation or continue my degree in Nilai? To that extend I could only blame myself for choosing the wrong University at the first place.
