i found myself

Well, today i suddenly have the thought of writing something here in my blog which i had abandoned it for a few months. Apparently, today was my last day of my 2nd term and i wanted to emphasise that time flies faster then i really thought. It wasn't a busy term for me with only four courses but my assignments and midterms come constantly every single week and surprisingly it does enlighten my days and nights throughout the term. Why do i say so? Usually at this “thur/fri” period, i would have started my computer science assignment, cracking my little brain figuring out the best way to solve the programs. Today, I finished my last assignment and i went for a badminton game with some friends. When i was back with my tiring body, i realise that i have nothing to do. I miss the days writing code and the excitement of completing a tough assignment. Well, yenyin mentioned that too in her blog and honestly, i understand how she feels.


Why “I found myself”? First of all, I am grateful that I am back to a normal me where i found my own way of reading, doing notes, and having classes. I bet no one will ever try to study on the bed where i am the unique one who always does that. I am just like a shadow of my friends in the previous term and I suffered myself trying to be others, following how do others read and study. These make my results fall behind, my personality and characteristic changes extremely, which is not a good thing. So, I learnt “Just be yourself”. I was doing very well this term, proudly to say that most of my tests were 80s and 90s. I enjoy being in the class and i also found out that i am interested in programming too. I won’t be heading towards a different pathway, but i might take a double major or something. It wasn’t too late for me to notice that and so, i encourage peoples to just be yourself, do as you like, only for the good things of course.


Besides that, throughout the term, i learnt quite some stuff too which mostly a 18/19 years old boy will not experience it. I learn how to write a resume and cover letters, I experienced job interviews and job fairs in formal suits, and i applied for jobs from companies to companies. Basically, i am entering the working environment at this age. I doesn’t emphasize that i am young but i am trying to say that i does not expect anything of these happening to me before. It was tough and stressful but i believe in myself too.


Lets talk something about my entertainments. Well, I am always an active sport person. I always try to space out some time for me to exercise, basketball and badminton, which is my fav sports i would never forgone. These might be funny, because i wanted to say that I enjoy cooking too. I have quite some seniors who cook well and i am trying my best to learn from them. Usually, we will celebrate friend’s birthday which is what i did always when i was back in nilai a year ago. It was still a fresh memorable memories from everyone in Nilai. Here we will serve everyone with self-cooked dishes. Cooking was fun and i love to have gathering together with friends even though how busy, how many assignment going to due soon, how many midterms coming up.


I went to a festival called Maple Syrup Festival which happens only once in a year, every end of March. It is basically a syrup festival with pancakes, sweets, and something related to syrups. I know Malaysian will think of the Malay syrup when you first get in touch with the word Maple Syrup. But it wasn’t the one in Malaysia and this is the best syrup i had. We ate bbq turkey drumstick which is like 10 KFC drumstick size big or maybe more than that. My friend posted all the photos in fb if anyone of you is interested. BTW, just ignore my hairstyle. I go crazy a day and i decided to shave my hair. I don’t know that i look more like a kid than MICHAEL SCOFIELD, if you guys watch prison breaks you will know who he is. It is the shortest hair i had among this 18 years though.


I think i would stop here now. Anyway, i miss Malaysia so much, the more we talk about Malaysian food here, the more desperate we wanted to go back home. I just mention about the durian puff located in midvalley today. I will be back soon.Soon.SOON.
