Selang beberapa hari aku tak tulis apa-apa... Saja terfikir kali ni nak tulis dalam bahasa melayu... Hanya enam hari lagi, untuk kita sama-sama meraikan hari konvokesyen di UiTM Shah Alam... Tak sabar betul aku nak balik!!!
Memang cara aku tulis ni, macam... skema sikit... hahaha, susah betul nak tulis... kali terakhir aku tulis dalam BM adalah semasa aku tulis karangan masa di temubual di BNM... Sejak hari tu, aku tak dengar lagi berita dari mereka... Hm...
Esok ada ujian akauns... Ah, malas betul aku nak baca... Mula-mula, subjek ni antara subjek yang aku susah nak faham... konsepnya semua berbeza dengan apa yang kita belajar dulu... sini lebih rumit... pastu, ada tambah lagi jenis akaun yang berlainan... urgh....
Lagi satu, sini memang sibuk... mula-mula sebelum aku datang sini, aku ingatkan tempat ni relax sikit... rupanya terbalik.. hahaha, aku sendiri susah nak ikut kelas kat sini... dah berapa kelas dah aku tak pergi... untuk kelas aktuari lagilah aku tak tau.... sampai sekarang tak pernah faham apa yang diorang ajar....
Masa pun pantas berlalu... Tak sempat pun, aku nak cuba mengingati apa yang aku telah belajar sebelum ni... Tak sabar pun nak cuti... Memang susah... Sampai sekarang aku fikir nak lulus je, subjek tu... itupun tak tau boleh ke tak...
Selepas peperiksaan akauns esok petang, baru lega sikit... pastu ujian ekonomi pulak hari jumaat... itupun bolehlah... subjek yang paling aku selesa dengan....
Ah...
Khas untuk Steven Vermeeren...
I received awesome news, and I don't know who to share it with
Today, I woke up, feeling so refreshed after a long day... and spent the morning reading a chapter on Leadership, to prepare it for my group discussion meeting later with Alex and Diana...
Internet this morning was being crappy, so couldn't do much research online... so nothing interesting happened in the morning, had lunch around 12 PM... then went to PASS Class for ACCT1511... it was full :K had to sit on the floor... i went to that class last week at the same time, and there was barely any people when i entered the room... then it's ACCT1511 lecture after that...
Then, it's one hour to kill, before the meeting.. so i just went back home, because i was hungry and wanted to have a snack... nicely slurping something that's like a maggi in cup, when the gmail notifier popped up with a new e-mail
Nazreen,
Would appreciate if you coulod contact me soonest possible. This is
regarding your application for Bank Negara's scholarship.
I panicked xD
I ran downstairs to get the house phone and use my calling card... but i don't know how to use funny phones here, and i had difficulty getting the dial tone... only then with the help of my housemate, i realized that i coudln't get a dial tone, because my landlord was on the phone!!! XD
After finally finding my Maxis Sim Card, I called BNM right away... nervous, excited, jumpy...
He answered...
And told me that my scholarship application is successfull!
I was so happy... I wanted to tell someone, wanted to tell the world! But I didn't want to gloat/brag, I just wanted to share this happy news, with people who'd be happy for me, and not spite me...
So the first place I went... online... posted on the guild board, and the people who were talking to me on MSN, including myuu... and then e-mailed mom... then with the sim card still in, i called my dad :D
But it wasn't enough, i was still excited and hyper, and most of my online friends who I cherish wasn't online yet... Anyhow, had to meet up with Diana and Alex :) with a happy thought

Another long day~
Another hectic week + weekend... My tuesdays are always hectic :S
MGMT1102 test this morning, then my ECON1101 report due after the test, and there's tutorial homework due at 2 PM
In between, two meetings: one with Diana from Germany and Alex from somewhere and didn't turn up xD then a lunch meeting with Kris and Muzi... Both meetings were to discuss MGMT1102 projects, one about Ethics and Social Responsibility, the other on Leadership...
Then after the tutorial class which ended at three, met up again, with Kris and Fiony (also on the MGMT1102 project)
Next, I had to go to a travel agent, and see how much it may cost to purchase a ticket here, from Kuala Lumpur to Sydney (I already have my ticket to go home, just not to come back here) :P
Now I'm home ^^
Think I did okay for the test, and ACCT1511 quiz came back, got 10/18, and i'm so happy because i passed XD
Such a difference, from how it was like in Malaysia... I'd aim to get full marks, or at least the best in the class, and here I am, in Australia, hoping for a pass... :P

Why I avoid cooking
Yesterday was nice... managed to complete my economics report despite procrastinating so much... Now I just have to proof read it and refine the report.
Today, I decided that I'll cook rice and a couple of dishes... I cooked rice enough for two meals, so that I can make fried rice again, omelette with onions, and stir fried veggies... It was a nice meal, and I felt very bloated... then when i went back to the kitchen... seeing all the pots and pans and stuff i used to prepare and all... just made me feel tired... urgh...
Fried rice is easier. At least I just use one plate for everything...
And it seems my carrots have 'expired'
One progress this week, is that i only had instant noodles just one time. And that was because the meal i had in McDonalds on that day, wasn't enough to last me the night. I seldom go to McDs, but a friend wanted to meet up with me for business purposes... Which I will elaborate later...
I also received a note about three days ago, from Jim, the owner of the house who lives here as well, that he accidentally switched the power off to the fridge that I share with my housemate. So there goes all my frozen food, but he said he'll reimburse the damages, so that's a good thing...
Missed today's grocery shopping trip, because I don't have much to buy, and I didn't want to wake up xD
Spring is here, finally! Officially, i mean... went to the dance class yesterday not wearing a jacket ^^ I've even chucked my heater into the cupboard... Nice weather we have now!!!
Yesterday's dance class was a lil funny... At least, I enjoyed it... this time, only the guy was around to teach, and he gave us a nice break from ballroom dancing and thought us the basics for cha-cha-cha... that was awesome! Kris was having a lot of difficulty with the waltz, tho, because yesterday, we did so much turns and changes, that he kinda got disoriented... At least this time, there's only one extra girl, unlike last week...
Anyway, back to the McD's meeting, Mas met up with me, with a guy from India, and as I nibble on my Filet O Fish, that guy gave me a presentation on Amway and NetworkTwentyOne... some sort of multi-level marketing... From what I could understand, it's like BonusLink, where I just shop at this online thing, and the more I spend, the more I get back... and by referring ppl to it, i get more back again, with bonus... I think it's a way to get more ppl to buy from them... more and more, and loyal customers, who eyes the benefits....
There's a seminar/event on this thing that I'm supposed to attend (paid 20 bucks for the ticket after the presentation) but after thinking through, I'm just not really interested... basically because I prefer to go shopping in malls, rather than online... And I just don't want to go out to town at night... Next time, I will be forward enough to say No on the spot, regardless if it'll offend my friend or not...
Anyhow, seems like a lot of business going direct to consumers... Telstra called me on my mobile phone (I'm under Vodafone), and offered me a package... more like a two year contract, so that I use Telstra, and for that, they'll give me a new phone, 300 AUD worth of credit, and some other benefits to go with it... They said that my phone number was once under Telstra and sold off, and now they're hoping to buy back the number, and get back some business i guess... so in this case, i think they just want business and customers bound by contract, so we may not stray away... sounds like a good deal to me, actually, since i don't really care what telecom network i use, but most ppl here use Optus or Voda... so we'll see....

I love weekends...
Back in Malaysia, I actually had a full time schedule... at the office during weekdays, then sailing on weekends... hardly had time for myself...
After I finished my internship, it was full time sailing... even on weekdays, to prepare for the games... which photos i've uploaded on Still Snaps...
Now, in Australia, my schedule is a mess :D At least, I'm sorting that out... With a nice new printer (but noisy) in my room, I managed to print out all my course notes, lectures and tutorials that I will be needing for this week... well.. almost :D just a couple more things to print, but i'll wait till morning... since it's late already....
Also rearranging my sleeping schedule... lately kept taking naps, especially after eating xD Had fried rice today, since I found my missing leftover rice in the other fridge, i made fried rice with one big onion, one big carrot (the smallest i could find, hehe) , garlic, and cabbage. Next time, I'll put less onions, less oil, more garlic, and maybe other stuff like eggs or beef or both or more =D
Well, it may not look so tasty, but hey, it's my first try! :D It smelled so good, and it tasted good... to me, at least :D most of the carrots are hidden underneath, tho...
When cooking the veges, especially onions, it smelled wonderful... Now that I finally pushed myself to cook one meal like this, i think i can do it again... i think :D
I've a presentation Tuesday, and I'm feeling quite happy about it, just for listening well in class... hahaha... the lecturer is good... I'll be presenting about tariffs on imported cars... a familiar subject ^^ maybe it's a good thing i didn't have advance standing for microeconomics... sometimes i do wish i can start from year one, instead of having advance standing... oh well, it gets me the scholarship ^^
Still no news from Bank Negara tho... even other candidates have not heard from them... even tho they said they'll notify both success and failures... I did receive some missed calls on my malaysian sim card that i don't recognize tho...
I'm seriously making a change... I have to... Else everything will even more chaotic :P
Some pics of me that I found rudy took, two-three days ago :D

Found my 'missing rice' in the main fridge, instead of the usual one... :P
Also today, sent my mom and brothers and aunt off at the airport... *hugs them tight* i'm gonna miss them....
Before that tho, big bro myuu slept over in my room last night, on my fleece blanket on the floor xD i wish i could make it more comfortable for him... gomen ne, nii chan
Landlord + wife having a lil gathering downstairs, which is fine, because i had dinner with Kris and Muzi... that was fun =) definitely will look forward to more outings with them

Uni, oh uni
Uni is hard... well, maybe not so, but to me, yeah... it's hard... this week, i realized that i just can't bring my study habits from malaysia... i have to change... i have to work harder...
Some people may know how laid back I was back in UiTM... how i always interact with the lecturer in class, clear up anything i don't understand... look at people's notes... how 'relaxed' i am...
But that won't work here... nope, it won't, and i just have to accept that and change =) I've already missed one test on purpose, and finally got the courage to approach my tutor... I'm always reluctant to approach people here, i don't know why, maybe it's just me being shy and scared, but it can't stay like this forever...
Tonight I was supposed to head to the city again, and stay over at mom's hotel... I know they're only here til Saturday, and that is approaching fast... but i can't help feeling that i'll lose a lot of time, to prepare for my microeconomics presentation next tuesday... if i go... i don't want to put myself in last week's position anymore... it's too nerve wrecking... i can't go through that anymore... so here i am, at home, with my microecons books on my desk, and me sketching demand and supply curves...
Time just passes by too quickly here, and I really need to start catching up, or i'll be left further behind... during my management class, i kinda listed how i felt at that time:-
alone, lagging behind, friendless, struggling, scared, nervous, worried, shy, unindependant, sad, sleepy, tense, sick, lazy, lethargic, lack of sleep, bored, homesick, unkempt, energyless, ashamed, low self-esteem
=(

It's so nice to get out from uni for awhile
Stayed with mom last night, in her hotel room in the city... nice place...
Sigh...
I can't do this... I can't... I really can't... I wish i could just give up... Forget the test... My essay's half done, and I ran out of ideas...
I don't even know if what I'm doing is right... I've only been here a month... Sounds like a pathetic excuse, and so much is needed to be done... Still trying to fit in... to make friends... I really don't know...
I'm hopeless, not independant... and definitely not adapting fast enough... and to be sick at a crucial time...
Srsly, I can't.... I can't... I really can't...

How inconvenient...
Wednesday, I shook the house because of non-stop coughing... and so... I went to see a doctor...
In her opinion, I'm suffering from Upper Respiratory Tract Infection (Acute) and was given Medical Leave till Friday
And that's how I screwed myself up in the early semester...
I already missed lectures on Monday due to that fainting incident, and so missed the monday actuarial lecture...
Wednesday I went to my one and only lecture for that day, and almost slept in the lecture...
Then I missed a load of lectures on Thursday, because I was feeling kinda tired and weak...
And now, I still have all the sickness that doesn't seem to be improving my mood, and with three assessments happening in the VERY VERY near future... *throws caution into the wind*
Next Monday, I have a test (7.5%)... for Actuarial Studies... and I very well know I can't catch up 1 month of lectures in one weekend, even if I regained total health... Especially when I've always been clueless in the hall...
Then the day after that, I have an Financial Accounting Quiz (10%)... double crap... i still haven't caught up with the lessons and such... trying to bridge the info i learnt about accounthing 3 yrs ago... not as easy at it seems
And what am I doing now? I'm writing, no... trying to write my critical analysis assignment, due on Tuesday, and also weighs 10 % for my final assessment. triple crap.
RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
