2nd Semester’s Sem Break ^^

        My semester break started on 13 Dec 2013. So far, I did quite a lot of things during these holidays. I would like to talk about cheong K with my old secondary school buddies. We finally managed to cheong K together after 6 months. This is because all of us study in different courses and were busy with our studies. Fortunately, all of us have holidays now so we finally went to loudspeaker to sing for 3 hours. I lost my voice soon after singing many songs with them. I hope next time we can still find time to go sing again.

        After cheong K with my friends, I went back to Penang with my family. I visited my grandpa and grandma in Penang. I bought new checkered clothes when I was shopping in morning market which is located nearby my grandma’s house. During the few days I spent in Penang, I often accompany my grandma by having lunch and dinner with her and have a small talk with her. My grandma’s house got rare several kinds of pet such as cat, roasters, tortoise and fish. I am interested in the kitten rare by my grandma. The kitten is really scared of strangers. Whenever I tried to get close with her, she will look at me like I am going to eat her and she will run away as fast as she can when I approached her. My grandma said she is not familiar with us, which is why she will run away when we walked close to her. After 3 days I tried to see and approached the kitten, finally she is not that scared of me, but my family and I are preparing to go back to Subang le because we only have 4 to 5 days holidays in Penang. My brother needs to get back to work because he only took a few days leave. Lastly, before we went back to Subang, we managed to celebrate Winter Solstice with my grandma. My mom and I helped my grandma to make “Tang Yuan” the day before Winter Solstice. Then, we ate the “Tang Yuan” the next morning after having our breakfast.

        After coming back from Penang, I hanged out with him during Christmas Eve. I watched Frozen with him in cinema and that is the first time I watched movie with him. I was a bit excited that day because I didn’t see him for more than a week during this sem break. We walked around in the shopping mall together and had lunch together at a vegetarian restaurant nearby. I have had a great day with him that day. Hope to have more outings with him in the future. XD

Study break…

My one week study break is started yesterday. Study break means to let students got some time to do all the revision for final exams. Anyway, there are some feelings I would like to express them out during this semester 2.

The first thing I would want to talk about is forming groups for group assignments. In this semester, I only got 1 subject which is English that needs to form a group and do a group presentation. My lecturer told us that a group should be consist of 5 to 6 members so that the assignment can be done easily because each person only need to in charge in one or two sections. My lecturer also encourages us to form groups with our own classmates, so that we are more convenient to discuss the assignment together.

This is where the issue started; forming groups with 5 to 6 people. My class only has about 17 people, and there are 3 people who are not welcomed by our other classmates because they did not do their work as a group member during the last sem. Most of my classmates already form their groups and hence left me, 2 of my friends and the 3 unreliable classmates. That time, I really feel being ignored by my classmates as they form their group so fast and did not even think for the 3 of us. I also feel very disappointed that when I request them to spare 1 or 2 members to our group as our group is lack of people, the answer they gave me is “no, we need them”, “sorry, we cannot help you” and etc. To be honest, I really felt terrible that time, I never think that we have been same class for 1 semester and they actually did not care about the 3 of us when comes to group assignment. In the end, my lecturer allowed the 3 of us to form a group and then we worked really hard together to cover all the sections. I felt happy with my group assignment’s marks and also the presentation marks. I would like to thank my 2 other group members for cooperating with each other.

The second thing I want to say is there is some classmates’ attitude that I dislike. I dislike those who like to act like they know but actually they don’t really know. I also dislike those who like to badmouth others behind their backs. Besides, I also dislike those who are lazy to complete their works and kept on depending on others to send their works for them to edit. Actually, when I am in primary and secondary school that time, I am strongly against copying others’ works. But now, I have become more relax after I start my college life, I can accept others to refer to my work but then please do not request for copy or just edit some stuffs. I can help you by guiding you how to do it, but please don’t over requesting me because sometimes that really pissed me off because I am the kind of person who lack of patience. (PS: I am trying to be nice sometimes, so please don’t over my limit. TQ.)

The last thing I want to say before ending this post is I feel like I gain many interesting experiences after coming to college. I started to hang out with friends, playing bowling together, celebrating others’ birthday together and meet new friends with different kinds of personality. I feel like I am slowly growing up as I experience more in college. Although there are some attitudes I don’t like, I still enjoy the time when we laugh together, hang out together, crazy together and understand each other.

I think this is the longest post I have posted so far, wish all my classmates and coursemates, good luck for the finals! All the best, my friends! I am so looking forward for my semester breaks after the final exams! Hehe XD
