Summer Holidays!

Well, studying in Malaysia doesnt exactly let you experience 4 seasons but since it's summer over in the northern hemisphere so I thought of telling what happened throughout the month of August. I had my 1st test in UTM, faring okay for every paper I took. Next test coming in a week's time. Haha!

Well, besides test I have had a lot of fun too hence the title! Firstly, I attended Hebron's Church Camp and it was great. Austin Hill Golf Resort rocks! We played paintball, jacuzzi and some indoor games. It was superbly great with great prices to pay especially paintball. Haha. It was great being able to spend time with Ezra and gang too. Dr Simon Locke, the speaker is still as good as ever with his messages. Pastor Daniel proposed to his long time gf and that definitely is the highlight of the whole camp! Hm, this weekend might be making a trip to Malacca and the next, staying in JB. So technically I havent gone home or wont be going home for quite awhile. Hehe.

Till then, stay tuned!

No Reason To Fail

Yet another little look into another week of my life. Yes, I know, it's not very interesting nor is it very attractive however, I will still update. Haha. The week has been surrounded by rumours that UTM will be closing due to the influenza A(H1N1) which did not materialise. Lectures went on as usual, with yet another day of surveying in the hot sun. Everyone came back to hostel with laptops they bought last weekend at the pc fair so the study room is now literally a cybercafe at night. Haha.

Moving on to something interesting, I took a taxi to Sri Putri as usual to catch a bus home. On the way, I had a little conversatiob with the uncle. He asked what course am I doing and is it my choice. For the latter, I answered yes and what he said next suddenly just struck me there.

"OHh, macam tu NO REASON TO FAIL lar..." and bla bla bla. What he said is indeed very true. In life, when we chose to do what we love and like and really enjoy doing, there's no reason to fail or rather to hold us back, right? No doubts, setbacks will be there but we will pull through because it's something we enjoy and we made that DECISION which leads me to what I want to say next, THERE IS NO RIGHT OR WRONG DECISION nor is there GOOD OR BAD DECISION but there's only YOUR's OR THEIR's DECISION. People tend to get influence by many factors such as friends, parents and better future in pursuing the course or doing things they want. So to all SPM-ers and STPM-ers or even uni students, go for something you have a passion for. May it be cooking, singing or doing engineering. It's about finding where God wants you to be and what you really want. If doing something doesnt bring peace or enjoyment to you, then think again if that's really worth it. Life's too short to live other people's decision and life for them..>.<

Well, just a little thought from TZH after a long while. For your information, I am enjoying what I am studying so yea..no complains! Hehe!

A Month On..

Yours truly is sick, with a bad sore throat but recovering. My friends were teasing that thanks to me, UTM finally will be closed down but well, I am just fine, not H1N1! A little update on university life. It's been a month since I left for UTM and yes, I do come back every weekend. Studies is getting more interesting, at the same time harder.

Calculus has moved into chapter 2, a little similar to form 6 maths. Test next week so pray for me ya. Gotta work harder as apparently maths is basic for engineering.>.<

Fluid mechanics is fun, especially with my lecturer being the author of the book we used and also creating his own programme for calculating forces. My lecturer is an interesting character and his classes are never dull, with exercises and also his drawings. Haha. Had the 1st quiz too.

Surveying is fun yet tough and pure hardwork. I actually had to redo my levelling practical and thank God, I managed to complete it the 2nd time round. By the way, surveying means literally ukur jalan!

Engineering drawing, one of my most feared for exams. Haha. I can't draw as well as my friends and also need to learn to draw faster and love drawing but well, it's quite fun. I've never drawn so much in my life!

I have two LAN subjects too which I will talk about them next time! So there you have it, what I've been doing in UTM. I am trying to get myself involve in more out of class activity too. So, stay tuned!

Journey Begins

Hi peeps, for most Kluangites,I know you guys have seen me for 2 straight weeks but nonetheless,I havent really gotten the chance to catch up with you people so here's a little update. I have started life in UTM,which I still wake up every morning with much disbelief that I am an undergraduate now. Haha. UTM is fantastic with its facilities but the hostel is a little old, and the WIFI, disappointing but well, I am learning to appreciate things. I have settled in well and bonded with quite a number of people,including seniors. However, I have no chinese gals in my class so yeah, I guess God is telling me to study hard for the next 4 years! >.<

Lectures have begun and so far so good. I hope it stays this way. Moving into gear 1 and gonna get into gear 2 soon I believe. With many activities and more heavy lectures, life will soon be hectic. So Kluangites, I assure you. You wont see me that often! I guess this is a good thing for you all? haha. Anyways, will update soon with more pictures and on lessons!

Going Off...

Tomorrow marks a whole new journey for yours truly. I think the whole I AM LEAVING thingy is beginning to hit me. As I packed, I was feeling kind of weird. For real, I am leaving Kluang. For those who don't know, yours truly is heading to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia in Skudai for his undergraduate studies. And yes, I will be going there tomorrow. It has been a geart 18 and a half years in Kluang. Nonetheless, every friendship I have made, every tears I have wept, every laugh I have laughed. It was great, and to leave, is really not easy!

So, here I am to bid farewell to the Kluang peeps as I wont be seeing you guys in YF or church or other events. Take care, people. And like every Terminator movie, I WILL BE BACK! Do keep me in prayers as I go through my uni life. Take care and see you all soon!
