Continue My Path - - > University

Already know which university I will go. The government had given me the course of Biological Science in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). Yes, is in Terengganu, the campus is near to the beach. I heard from Quansheng, said that the campus has a beautiful scenery. Yeah, even the hostel is near to the beach, quite beautiful, right?

So, I will be registered on 29th June, maybe I will go there a day earlier. My dad will bring me, since he worked at Terengganu before for almost a month! And he said he will be there for a week, see whether I can get into IPG or not. The result of the interview will be announced on 1st July, during the orientation time in the university. So, if I success, I will quit the university and back, see which IPG they offer to me.

Yeah, I still hope to further study in West Malaysia. Actually I'm quite happy to get this course, is my 3rd choice and I like Biology. It just I'm too lazy...Don't know whether I can catch up after long holiday? Lots of things I had already forgotten...*hahaha But you ask me, if I am offered to be in IPG in Sarawak, in IPG Rajang, near to my place, will I go? Sure I go! Although that place is so near to my place...But sure I'll feel a bit sad, have to comfort myself, tell myself I can back to my home every weekend. Hey, I'm still young, I still love to play, would like to travel to other place. I never go to West Malaysia before, that's why I want to go there...

Whatever, thanks God and pray that HE lead me to the best way. If He think I should study in IPG, I will follow His order, and also the same with university. I won't say anything, I believe Him, I believe His plan for me is the best plan for me...

I'm not yet print out offer letters and other required documents, said the system will be open at 1 pm, so just wait...Will be start to busy preparing, flight ticket, luggage, clothes, and the most important is LAPTOP! I want it for a long time...*kekeke Can anyone suggest any brand of laptop? Promote to me, ok?

Meanwhile, I will be having pre-test for driving. Can I do it? I will be 'trained' tomorrow morning, I do my best and let God do the rest. Just pray, I know, I still very weak in driving...

University life...Will be start after 10+ days...

I still don't know how to drive!

I'm so disappointed!
I'm so sorry to my tutor!
Nearly cry after the lesson!

I started to learn to drive after Chinese New Year, and stopped because I went to join National Service. It was about a month had spent. Then after about three months, I finished my service and back to the lesson...

Yeah, I'm sound okay during driving at town, just can't remember the route already. But in PUSPAKOM...I did a very embarrassing things this morning! This is my first day driving inside there without the accompany of the tutor.

First of all, I even can't let go the hand brake! How stupid am I! I don't know what happen to me this morning. I went to PUSPAKOM after the worship service at church. I ride my motorcycle and it spent about 20 minutes. It was already almost 10 am when I arrived there. The tutor seems not very happy...Next Sunday I will join the evening session service, I will go there earlier, okay?

Secondly is about session-parking. Seriously, I already forgot some of the symbols. I knocked down the poles during the parking few times! But the main problem is, I still not pro in 'straighting' the car. I still not pro enough to use the sterling...How embarrassing am I! Please don't laugh at me...Then after the tutor scolded me for a few times, my parking seems to become better and better...

Climbing the hill...Still is a problem. I didn't say anything this because I really still not good in this. I admit...Why I learn all this once in a week?

The lesson continue tomorrow morning at 9am, driving at town. Just still not very good when facing traffic jam. I doubt, can I take the test before I go out to further my study? If I go out on 27th June, more than 50+% I still can't take the test. But if I am success to be taken by Institut Perguruan, the class starts on 14th July, maybe I got much time. I just don't know why I am slow learner in this, last time I spent a month to take the motorcycle ride test(Quite slow, isn't it?)

I'm nearly disappointed, my friend and parents said, take it easy. But I know, my tutor want me to take the test soon, and I also want to. I don't want to have this kind of annoying thing before I go out to study. I'm sure he don't want to have this kind of student, learn for a long time...

Nearly disappointed...
But I want to make sure, I want to control the sterling by myself tomorrow!
Can I do it?
Oh gosh...

《回忆的夏天》带给我的后遗症

令人惊讶！我没想到作者会将这张相片PO上他的部落格。感谢神，我享有网络的服务，我就从他的部落格里copy and paste这张相片，希望他不会生气。



《回忆的夏天》，是诗巫的18岁弟兄创作的。我是怎么认识这本书呢？就是从国民服务那里看到这本书的存在啊！有一位朋友，他买了这本书，并且带进营里读，拿来消耗时间嘛，毕竟有时候我们会闷到发酶啊！不是真的发酶啦，拜托！当我看到这本书时，起初我还以为是某校的华文学会特刊，因为很多人都带许多这类似的书籍来读啊！结果翻开这本书，却令我有这股意念，想去拥有这本书。

问了很多问题之后，星期日，我就到三洋大厦的大众书局寻找这本书的踪影。啊哈！结果还真的被我发现，就打开钱包，拿出十二令吉，到收纳员去，购买这本书。这本创作才十二令吉，很值得也！

对，我真的以读这本书来消耗我在营里的时间。但是，它却带给我后遗症！

第一，
身为爱文字的我，有空时会拿起笔来，写写字，当我阅读这本书后，突然觉得有一股力量正冲向我来，自己也好想像作者一样，将自己的文字收藏起来，或许有一天能像作者一样，也出版了一本书！对，我爱幻想，曾经有一段时期，我用部落格来写下我的小说，但是半途而废了。原因是因为认为自己的文字不够好，以为要用到华丽的语法来表达。结果读完这本书后，才发现，只要自己的创作是发出内心的，以最诚实的心来写下小说也好，诗歌也好，其实大家是会体会到的。无需有太优美的句子…所以某天下午，我到食堂里去买了一本簿子，将自己所压抑的情绪写成一首诗，还第一次用马来文写诗！但是我还是比较擅长写华文的啦，毕竟是自己的母语。是关于感情事啦，朋友读后竟然被她知道真相，结果我们的感情因此而更加亲密。以前我也曾经写诗，还刊登在华文学会的特刊里，有空我会在这里分享的。是它再次唤醒我，我曾经有个意念想当个兼职作家，哈哈哈！其实，或许这个部落格里也隐藏了不少创作，但我还未察觉到也说不定噢！由大家来判断吧，毕竟当局者迷，旁观者清啊！

第二，
不单单只是我，连我身边的朋友都这么觉得，作者真的是才华横溢啊！当我向朋友介绍并述说作者的背景时，大家都对他赞不绝口，很羡慕他啊！告诉你噢，作者才18岁，诗巫人，并且是个虔诚的基督徒。你看，作者的年龄比我还小，就已经出版了他的创作！朋友们听了，纷纷都去买了这本书，并且向作者索取签名，因为当天他开了签名会。看到朋友很想要，我就替她买了一本送给她，当作是纪念礼物，毕竟当时再过一天就要毕业了。她好兴奋噢，下午向作者索取签名后，晚上她就用那本书当作朋友们留下笔迹的地方，就是大家签名，留下联络方式及一些祝福语。相信对她来说，《回忆的夏天》不但是收集了作者的回忆，也储存了国民服务里所认识的朋友的回忆。如果作者知道这件事，不知他会有什么反应？希望他不会因此生气啦，我们又不是侮辱了他的书…

才浏览过他的部落格。原来他是个优异生啊！祝他锦绣前程，上帝赐福予他！

Diary on 12th June 2008

Although this morning I woke late for my driving lesson, until my tutor phoned me twice, but I can almost controlled the sterling already *kekeke Just still very weak on turning, how slow am I! Felt so pity for my tutor...

But tonight, I back to my life with friends. Again, we went out and "yam cha" after prayer meeting. There are a lot of brothers and sisters who went out to further study, now they back to their hometown for holiday. That's why we gather together and went out. In fact, I am too free at home, almost every day I online, until pastor find out about that, because he also have MSN! You see, I;m blogging here right now, to spend my time.

We went out and eat, joke and chat happily. And we have another plan tomorrow! We will play a game tomorrow morning! I don't know what the game called, actually is a game between a dog and the owner, which is throwing flying pan, get it? I only played this game once, and I was too weak to play this game. See my result on tomorrow....

But, now the life becomes more tough. Earthquake in Sichuan, flood in America, and lots of disasters happen all around the world. In economic aspect, the prices raise and raise due the raising price of petrol. What happen to this world now? I start to feel unsafe right now...But thanks God, I know Him, and I believe Him. He lead my way and my life, so I live for Him...

I should use my time well...Can't just waste my time on surfing internet only...Beside go to driving lesson, what else can I do? Prepare to go to further study? I'm not yet know where will I go, maybe the result reveal on next week, probably next week. Tell me, how should I prepare myself to face tomorrow?

Whatever, live for the Lord, as the head of my blog said...

Memories in Kem PLKN Junaco Park, Sibu, Sarawak

The rock sign board, tell us that we already arrived Junaco Park, Sibu.

Dewan makan or dewan serbaguna. We have our meals here, have our briefing here, have our performance here, and sometimes can be use as a place to learn TTS(Tempur Tanpa Senjata), after the tables are removed. Every night we will gather here, to listen what are the activities on the next day before go to sleep.

The way up to my dorm--Asrama Wirawati. Very high and always tired to go up...

My dorm at evening scene

My dorm with rainbow

This is where I sleep every night.

Our bathroom and toilets(at the back). We didn't use that tank anymore, but we had our Water Festival over there! Splashing water to everyone and everywhere, singing Negaraku, Wira Wirawati and company's songs, marching! In the end, we washed the bathroom with wet clothes and body...But it was a memorable memory for us.

Dewan Kuliah. We have Modul Pembinaan Karater and Modul Kenegaraan here. Got air-conditional, quite comfortable and know a lot of friends from different companies here.

The volleyball court in front of Dewan Kuliah. That time there was a match between wirawati Delta and Alpha. We won!

Padang kawad. Every morning before 6.30am, we must line up here for PT. Here was the place we had our marching competition and also our closing ceromony.

Floating canteen. Always crowded after 6pm something, to buy daily stuff, to eat maggi mee *keke and to hang out with friends. I always 'lepak' here with my friends every night.

Beautiful scene behind the canteen. Do you see a 'pondok' on a bridge there? Left hand side one, my gang had our farewell party there at the last night in the camp, just sit on the wooden floor. Eating keropok and chocolates there...

The place we learn about canoe and raft.

Colourful canoes.

Rafts made by pipes and 'tayar'

The lake we learn how to play canoe...Please follow the arrow

Lapang sasar...The place we learn how to shoot.

Shooting...Already have lots of holes on that little hill...

Somehow the armies also know to sell syrup and burgers to us.

Taken with our beloved Cikgu Amor, my teacher who can speak Mandarin, teach me in Modul Kenegaraan, and always called me "Chan" during the shooting time at lapang sasar.

After shooting, here what we got! You see my name there? Chan Bao Qiong, Jumlah=57
Oh yeah! Below me is the 2nd-runner up of wirawati, with the high mark of 86! Our company got champion for shooting competition.

Yoyo...Champion and 1st-runner up of marathon! Celebration with whole Wirawati Delta, and also with our Company Leader and teacher.

Our Delta company's T-shirt, is it nice?

Taken with friends with company's T-shirt, how sweet...

Different poses everyone!

5 sisters with baju kuliah-Mee Mee, Shirley, Pei Chieng, Ah Beng, Bao Qiong

Ready to go back...

Me in the bus during the way back to my sweet home. Getting darker, isn't it?

*I will upload more pictures here, more pictures on my gang, the memories we had in the camp...Stay tuned!

Bored + Frustrated + Miss

Still online now, feel bored and frustrated...

I start to frustrate about my future, what should I do if I can't get into IPG or fail in the SPA's interview? If I am given the course which is not good for local public university, where should I further my study? What course should I choose?

My parents ask me to choose accountancy in private university, if I want to further study in private university. But accountancy...I don't know, I didn't hate it, just...I didn't prefer this job. But...I don't know.

If I go to private university, which university should I choose? UTAR is my favourite, but it only got March and May intake. I am worried I can't get into UTAR at this time. Other colleges such as Unitar and Twintech got July intake, it just...I don't know which place is better!

Target to find some information about laptop, because I will need to buy it when I further my study. But don't know how to make the survey...

Bored because nobody want to chat with me. Miss my friends from National Service, I want to cry today because of this...

Sigh...

About National Service

On 24 March, I was been called to go to Kem PLKN Junaco Park, Sibu, Sarawak. That time, I was postponed, and I applied to join Group 2, 5th Series in Kem Junaco Park. At first, I want to apply for Kem Bumimas which is nearer to town. I went there before and realize that the infrastructure are not that good, and for me, that place doesn't like a camp. I want to play, that's why in the end I choose Kem Junaco Park. Still remember, the activities started that day, that is doing company's flag. My company is Delta, symbolized by the colour of green and also by a horse, the animal we had chosen. Still remember that day, I met my Sarikei friends, Siew Ching, who I already knew her when we joined Red Cresent Society. Thanks her for accompany me to go through the first day in the camp...

First time I heard the song entitled "Bila Diri Disayangi", I wanted to cry. Actually this is a love song, but it had been chosen as the song of Kem Junaco Park. This song make me think about my family, especially that night I received my sport shoes from my parents, since I didn't bring them in. I even didn't see my dad that night!

First time I applied for hoilday from the camp, is the incident when my grandma passed away. That time was my 2nd week in the camp...

First time I fainted is after I ran, Cikgu Lina lead us that time. Since that time, I always got weak easily, and easily felt headache. And since that time, I had my first time in medic, lived in the wad.

Too many first time, including playing kayak and raft, kembara halangan, playing flying fox, not very high, only three storey high, I will play again if I got a chance. Shooting, that is holding M-16 gun, surprised to get marks of 57 out of 100! Wearing tudung...I sacrificed that first time when I have to act as a white bird for PPSB(Program Penghayatan Sastera dan Budaya) show, I wore white tudung that time, thanks God got people still recognized me as a Chinese girl. But during the time I wore black tudung for marching competition, got a Chinese girl spoke Malay to me, because she thought I am Malay!

Lots of holiday I had been taken, including the holiday I took for interviews and also there was a term holiday for us too. And lots of friends I knew from there, no matter what races are they. Miss them now, especially those who come from West Malaysia. I cried last night, for them, but also for other friends from Sarawak, especially my gang over there. Although I always left my gang, hanging around, but they always take care of me...

Last night, we had farewell night. We got performance although it was a bit messy, but it was another sweet memory, sang the company's songs, the 'tepukan'...Then we shook hand with teachers. After this, I greeted my male friends. Their eyes were red, me as a girl became the one who comfort them...My female friends, they cried when I hugged them...I feel want to cry again when I rewind this memory...

Say good bye to Kem Junaco Park, say good bye to National Service, say good luck to all of my friends, hope we will keep in touch after this...

3rd Time Back

I'm back again! This time is the holiday given by National Service, from 8th May until 13th May, due to there is no public holiday in this series( according to the newspapers), letting us to be together with our family and friends. Thanks God, I back here with your blessing, although I still cough...I read newspapers this morning, and read the news below here...

Family wants to know why girl not sent to hospital earlier

By DHARMENDER SINGH

KUALA SELANGOR: National service (NS) trainee Too Hui Min had complained of constipation for three days before she died and her family wants to know why camp officials did not take her to the hospital ea

rlier.

Her mother, Chin Kwee Choo, 52, said she was told by the Geo Kosmo National Service Training Camp staff in Kuala Kubu Baru that her daughter had complained of constipation for several days.

“But they said she only started to complain of pain when she went to the shooting range in Banting on Wednesday morning,” she said, adding that even then the camp authorities should have taken her to the hospital at once.

She said someone from the camp called her four times on Wednesday, with the first call at 8pm, to say that Hui Min was being taken to hospital, followed by another call at 9pm to say she was having problems urinating.

At 10pm Chin was told that her daughter would be warded and the final call, just before 11pm, was to tell her of Hui Min's death.

NS Training Department director-general Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil said Hui Min died on Wednesday at 10.45pm at the Slim River Hospital in Perak.

The teenager and 177 other trainees had chicken rice for lunch while training at the shooting range in Jugra Banting, Selangor. They arrived at the range at 1.45pm.

“We are in a state of disbelief because she was an active and hea

lthy 18-year-old,“ the distraught mother said. She has two other children.

Chin said Hui Min, who scored 7As in her SPM examination last year, was to enter Form Six at SMK Bukit Kuda in Klang on Monday.

“She was to come home today (yesterday) and apply to be exempted from the rest of the training to attend school but instead we are bringing her body back. My daughter is go

ne.”

She said the last time they spoke to Hui Min was when she called home on Monday. Soon after her body arrived at the family home in Taman Bayu here at about 3.15pm, seven of Hui Min's fellow trainees who shared the same hostel with her arrived to pay their respects.

NS Training Council member Joseph Wang, who visited the family, said an internal investigation would be conducted to find out what led to Hui Min's illness.

Hui Min’s body will be cremated at the Fairy Park cemetery at noon today. The hearse will leave the house at 11am.

Actually I read it from Sin Chiew, but I take this news from The Star. So sad, again a dead occur in National Service. Last time is a boy, dead after fever. This time...*sigh

After this holiday, I will be back to National Service to continue my training. I will have an interview for Institut Perguruan, Kursus Pemulihan(Bahasa Cina)/Sains/ Bahasa Inggeris. This will be my 3rd time to attend this kind of interview. Hope this time will be success! I rather to give up university to join that! That interview will be held on 14th May in Sibu. I will ask National Service there to send to the place the interview will be held. Then on 15th May, maybe I got the chance to hold the M-16 gun, start to feel excited, =P


After this holiday, there will less people in the camp, due to the begining of the class of Lower 6 on 12th May. The trainees will quit their training and further their study. Some of them will be quit after playing gun. So maybe after 16th May, half of the trainees will left the camp. I wish to become one of them, but...I'm already a Form 6 leavers. Good luck, juniors!

During this holiday, I want to hang out with family, 'lim teh' with friends, dating with boyfriend, =D and also dating with my computer, my Friendster, my Maple Island and also m y blog! Not forget still keep interact with the Lord, pray everyday. Just now I viewed pictures of MYF Sunday from my friends' album in Friendster, I hate that I can't be one of the pictures, one of the choir, of the dancers...but never mind, at least I got that purple MYF T-shirt, I even wear it in the camp! Quite supporting am I, isn't it?

Lots of friends left us to further study, started from 5th May, there were trainees who left the camp, especially for those who are selected to study in Matriculation, the class also began on 12th May. Girls especially from West Malaysia, we hugged together and cried...

I remember a funny and creative joke about the holiday, created by a trainee in the camp, and was be spread until myself.

"Those who want to go back to West Malaysia, please use Flying Fox. Those who want to go back to Kapit, Mukah, Oya, please use raft and canoe. Those who want to go back to Sibu, Sarikei, Bintulu, please marching."

Wow...so creative, what do you think?

Back Again From National Service

Looks like I have a lot of holiday in National Service. My teacher also noisy with me about this. " Kamu lagi temuduga?" And I'm one of the person who always fall sick. Looks like my name will be famous because of this...

I back for the interview to become a pharmacy assistant. Although I prefer to be in education field than in medicine one, but this post sounds okay to me.

Quite suffering this week...because I'm SICK AGAIN! Fever again and stayed in the wad again. So boring in the wad, just eat and sleep, I don't want to be in there again! But, I'm still headache and sore throat, and coughing too! I seldom sick and now...I become that weak! My mum also wonder why my antibody become so weak after enter the camp. Live in the wad from Monday until this morning!

Last Sunday was Open Day, My family and I went around the camp, and we got some shots of it...

Welcome! Taken with my fair sister. See my face become that dark? T.T

Pondok Atas Satu Bulan? Don't know what does it mean, but sure this sure good enough to live in the jungle....Andrew was shocked that I took a snap of him.



Red Indian hut? I don't know how come this will be inside the survival village also...

Flying fox...don't know when is my turn to try?



Taken with family on a bridge in the camp. Will miss them in the camp...

I already change my handphone from Nokia 2100 to Nokia 6080, to be brought to the camp this Saturday. Wait for my other pictures in the camp...

Malaysian Educator Selection Inventory TestI(MedSi)

I took that test today, on 10am in SK Sarikei, my hometown there. So glad I can take leave from National Service for this, because I'm lazy to be inside there...*kekeke

Arrive there almost on 9.20am, because it requires us to arrive there half an hour before the test start. Meet a lot of friends there! MISS THEM A LOT! Especially those who from Kai Chung, long time I didn't meet them since I moved to Sarikei. Friends in Red Crescent Society, miss you all a lot! We shook our hands just after we met each other. Somehow I feel a bit warm in my heart after met them, maybe because we had been gone through together lots of things in Red Crescent Society before, lots of sweet memories there...Of cause I also met with my classmates in Form 6. Almost everyone surprise when my dark face appeared in front of them, and almost every girl asked me whether I use sunblock or not. Phew! I got use, but only ++30, ++50 were sold out when I want to buy last two weeks ago. But with my blue new style 'baju kurung', at least I looked a bit pretty, *wakaka Wore ladies' shoes given by National Service there! So sad I didn't find a camera man to take a shot of that look...but I am shy to show my dark face here...

The test, 300 questions must be completed in 1 hour! Almost like a psychology test, ask the questions such as "You never tell a lie." What is your answer? Yes or No? Of cause NO! Who will never tell a lie? See whether I can pass this test or not? If I pass, then I will have an interview in Bintulu next month. Hopefully I can pass, pray to God...

After the test, I went to "lim teh" with my Red Crescent Society friends almost for an hour. Lots of things we chat and lots of stories I heard, although I didn't know the beginning of the story. Talking the latest news about some of our friends, I can't believe one of the guys becomes a temporary teacher! Congratulations! And lots...Nice to meet them, almost one year I didn't meet them after the Chinese New Year last year...

Next week I need to back again for the test and interview of Suruhanjaya Perkhidmatan Awam(SPA), for three posts--Staff Nurse, Dental Nurse and Pharmacy Assistant. I heard can choose one of them. Sure I won't choose Staff Nurse, Dental Nurse and Pharmacy Assistant sounds okay to me, but...Yeah, I prefer to be in education field than in medicine field, but works in medicine field sounds quite good to me, as long as I didn't become a doctor or a staff nurse. Still not sure yet...
