Well-spent December
Saturday, January 5, 2019

I just finished my second paper on 5 pm. It was unexpected, one quarter of the paper had the questions which were not covered in lecture notes. I am a little bit down right now, but I still have 4 papers to go. Might as well blog a post in remembrance of this. My memory is poor and getting poorer days by days. That's why I love calculation than memorization in a paper. Working through my logic provides the satisfaction memorizing cannot suffice me. I'm glad I don't take up biology-related course in the end :D The carelessness in calculation is something I can afford, comparing to not remembering facts that I have read through. 
Happy belated new year. Now that I shall anticipate my semester break, which will be followed by Chinese New Year. Here's a few pictures to sum up my well-spent December. A month of joy and tears. 

Deep down, I appreciate PKUM (Engineering Society University of Malaya) for the great exposure and unique opportunity given. We are invited to attend the Alumni Dinner for Faculty of Engineering. My task was to be in charge of the registration. We got to see one alumni who graduated in the first batch. PKUM has the same age as the faculty, celebrating its 60th anniversary (2018). So you can imagine, the alumni must be in his early 80s. Great catch-up with the alumni.



And so I survived this semester. I did 5 Problem Based Learning (PBL) experiment presentations, 1 Integrated Design I presentation, 1 Engineering Project Management presentation and 1 regular experiment presentation. 3 of the presentations and 1 technical project report submission were in week 13. In week 14, I submitted 2 group reports, 1 group assignment and had 3 tests. At one point of life I felt really devastated that the stress was so suffocating. Not to mention I had to submit 2 assignments and 1 tutorial even after the lecture weeks had finished (in my study week - aka preparation week for final examination). 

I came to realize that presentation was not difficult and my skill improved thanks to my boyfriend. Fyi, we are in a long distance relationship. I recorded the video of my preparation and sent it to him, he coached me along. "The intonation... Here goes the pause..." I got complimented by Dr. Fazly. For an introvert, it was more than everything. 

My PBL team mates.

The two main reasons I joined that 100m relay run were for merit purpose and to fulfill the promise I had made. I never went to practise. The UM Arena was a twenty minutes walking distance from my residential college. Two days before the competition, finally I decided to go for practise. I fell down because I failed to pass the baton. I fell face-down. I thought it was fine, just some scratches caused by the track on my limbs. Leona (the one I was supposed to pass the baton to) accompanied me to the washroom to rinse off the blood. And it actually hurt. We went back to the track and my teammates came to ask about my injury. I burst out crying, partly due to the pain and mainly was my sham. I was never tough but brittle and fragile. I bruised my right lower jaw, right arm, both knees and the most serious part was my waist. It's sort of weird that I hurt my waist. 

My right arm. The injury has healed but the scar is terribly ugly, given CNY is approaching. 

My waist injury, the size of my pinkie.

We got into the final but didn't win any medal. The process is all that matters, isn't it?


Christmas gift exchange of PKUM, I got a planner and gave out a notebook. The exchange was based on draw. You will know who you are going to buy the gift for and what are those they want. I got Alicia, who had a wish list as follows:
  1. Handmade stuff (Something special)
  2. A world without anger and lies
  3. To go home
As you can see, my Week 13 and 14 were packed, I hardly had the chance to hunt for a gift and handmade one. Instead, I bought something practical, a blank cover notebook and drew a dolphin for her (her favorite animal). It turned out that she love it. 



Thank you Melur.


A full attendance course mates Christmas gathering to officially end the hectic 5th semester. And we had our gift exchange as well. Officially broke af, haha. I got small pouches and sheet masks. Thanks Zhu San. 



Thank you roommate for the Christmas butter cookies. I felt like it's already CNY, haha.

Blessed Christmas.

Looking forward to this year Christmas, loves.
