Convocation

my 2rd convocation...
1st one was 2 years ago in Penang TARC...
this time again is at KL TARC main campus...
it is far from my expectation...
i thought i can see a lots of friends here... just like last time in Penang...
sadly my course AFA only have 30 people who attended the convocation...which all of us will be meet again in SHU...
and put salt on the wound, we were the last course who go up the stage!! if i;m not wrong i'm the last 6 people!

ok...after the convo...i try to find got any friends to take photo with me! at 1st quite hard to locate them... walk around...and see whoever i know i catch them to take pic with me! haha...
shortly after that, i found no more friends i can take picture with! so i have to find my friends back and take picture at diffrent place... sudenly i found that i know too few friends in advance diploma, unlike last time diploma in Penang, i got know friends from BIS,EE,ISE,admin, computer science! almost all courses in Penang i got friends... but not in here KL!

surprisingly....i saw 2 hometown friends... they are attending friend's convo but not me ! but i happy can see them here... as my other hometown friends now is either working or finding jobs now!

stil have some regret...because i cant find few friends... which also same course with me!

there are 2 convocation still waiting for me... really look forward for that...

Friday

today mum is coming...
she and grandma came to KL last night staying at uncle's place.
my aunty told me to wait her at Jln Ampang's Great Eastern (GE) there...so i went there after i asked about the Forex rate in hong leong and RHB bank!
the public bank's office is know nothing about applying a sub-credit card and can get it in how long...if i do it in headquater... dammmm....

my aunty picked me up at there...then we go to pick my mum and grandma at KTM commuter at Bank Negara! long time din see grandma lioa... so missed her....

my aunty asked me go to HSBC to ask about how long need to get a sub-card... is about 1 week answer from credit-card counter at ground floor while the 1st floor personal financial services said is about 10 days! really conflicting....

we went to public bank's HQ to apply a sub card... we said it is urgent... and keep give pressure... finally she promised that i can get the card next week tues o wed... hope she will keep her promise!

we go to petaling street to order flowers... red and pink rose... but aunty advice me to buy sunflower as not many people will buy it... differentiation... but the final decision is on me! my aunty is paying for the flower...RM35....give me as gift... last time in TARC Penang's convo she also same...

my anuty drop me at GE, it was raining heavily... wait...and waited....i cant tahan any more... so decided to face the rain... this time, fully prepared... i got put back the rain coat this time...
anyways...i stil wet when i reached home!

got 1 missed call and 1 sms... i opened it... it was from my uncle... he said his digicam is ok lioa... so relief now... if not i have to buy flim to use my old analog camera! before that he said his digicam got problems cant let me for convo! so dissapointed... and just now talked to anuty, she suggest me to buy a basic digicam canon RM699 powershot A400... i'm keep thinking of it... and do the research on it just now... what i can hope from this digicam...since this is the cheaper model...really have to go for it?

or if my uncle can let me for 3 months? my problems is sloved! then i thought of what would my uncle use for 3 months wo! ai... thinks too much lioa...

happy convo tomolo!

wesak day

from small until recent years...wesak day is just a normal public holiday...
i got off and rest....
but not for this year... today i got intensive whole day...

hardly can feel the wesak day celebration here...

after that class i went to tian hou kong there to pray...
so many cars and buses... and also got lots of indians...
significant different from last time when i went to there got pray where there's only got less car and also people...

i thinks i start pray during wesak day was on Form 5!
having studied form 4 & 5 in Penang, i can feel the celebration of wesak day...
form4, i was a PBSM member had duty on the wesak day...
i followed senior together on the "perarakan" or " hua cher" where buddha is put on car, surrounded by fresh flower, and thousand of people is following the car, around the Penang city...

form 5, i remembered my add math tuition teacher, which i found very likes to talk like CKF! he got teached us a lots of things beside math....
he also got give intensive class... which he told us that 99% hard works and 1% is on luck... so he suggested that us go to put fresh flower on the buddha temple to pray for your SPM which i really follow his instruction to do so... that day was wesak day!

thinks back, now at this time this movement, Penang, jln Burmah, have thousand of people is praying and also follow "hua cher" around the Penang city... so miss the old day...
when back to Penang, must go to buddha temple to pray... put fresh flower...

While back to KL, my PC there is just P II 233Mhz, running at 249MB RAM, 32G hardisk and nothings more… but this PC is very quite… it didn’t disturb me. Give me a peace of life.

Train

Tomolo night I will be taking train back to KL. Feeling different this as I was brought 2nd class sit expect will have a better sit and also a nicer sleep than in economy class. Hehe…

Penang, Perak and Kedah

Today I get permission to go to Penang by car alone. So happy. I finally got the green light to go. I dreamed this day so long…
I went out at 2.45pm and reach Penang at 3.30pm. so wired no traffic jam. Smooth journey all the way. I used my Touch N Go card which I brought in KL last time. I wanted to test whether this card can get discount when using Penang Bridge! Huh? Rm7.00 really or not? NO DISCOUNT ar! So disappointed ! as I know the T N Go card which sell at Penang Bridge got discount of RM1.40 which is just cost RM5.60 when using Penang Bridge. Why cant TNGo card which sell in KL cant have the same privilege? NOT FAIR!
1st I go to Tanjung Bungah to get back to phone set. So easy to find the uncle as he is from Reality s/b ppl. After that got nothings to do…. I only will have diner with friend at 6.30pm.
so I went to Batu Ferringi to find another friend, beach boy. Lucky he got free, all other my friends is not free, either is oversea study o working.
Wo…BeachBoy have a new fashion hair cutting and he like old time very talkative. Then we chat at the beach, as his house is nearby the beach! So long time hear the wave’s sound and enjoy the sea view! Beachboy now is partner with his sister to sell jewelry which imported from Korea and Japan. He even shown me and recommended some model of it. Ribbon is 1 of popular items. Love and Tavaka dog also is very popular! He even claim that there is no other place got sell the extract same jewelry even if got there is much expensive compared with his one. Do not know whether is true or not, half believing him! So I brought a star!

After that is time to meet friend at famous western food in Tanjung Tokong. It is operate at a temple. When I reached there I already got a lots of people sitting there waiting to be served. Long long time do not eat Penang’s Chicken Chop. So I ordered it with my friend. He is my ex-Penang TARC classmate. So glad to meet him back since after diploma I didn’t see him anymore and many things we chat about during diner.

After diner is time to go. I continue to find my another friend, a primary schoolmate who study in USM now. I went to Sg Dua USM there… lucky she at home.

Ops is 8.30pm lioa… I have to back home. I promised my mum will reach home before 9.00pm. but I still need to go to Perak Parit Buntar to buy train ticket. I have to go there to buy. From Penang, after the Penang Bridge I use highway to go PB. I come out at Jawi toll and towards Nibong Tebal. Ai.. I use back the same road again which I used yesterday. Today jalan again!
No people at the train station so quite. So I brought my ticket back to KL on May 8 night 10.30pm and will reach in KL at 6.30am so I got enough time to rest and prepare to go Mr Choong’s revision class. This time I brought second class o upper class, no more economy class which the chair is fixed and cant sleep well! The upper class cost me Rm28. hope that it value for money !

Bee attack

At about 4.30pm, my grandpa told me to use Parang to cut the tree branches down in front of shop. So I grad parang and start to chop the branches… thinks again… so long did not cut tree branches since last time follow grandpa to estate!
Suddenly my head so pain! I immediately touch my head to see whether I was bite by anything. It’s a Bee… medium size bee, got orange colour at it’s back. It’s so painful. I immediately run back to shop scare of got another Bee. Really pain at my head… after a while it still pain. I was thinking whether I need to see doctor? Then if I go to see, then the doctor need to know what kind of Bee is biting me! So I take a plastic bag and back to the place where the Bee stings me and I brave myself to go back. Lucky the bee is stil there…so immediately catch it with the plastic bag. So I bring it with me to see doctor. The doctor said this bee is not very dangerous. If really poison bee is that you will be pain until vomit and the size of the bee is big.
The doctor give me an injection and some medical to eat. Back to home, I still can feel the pain in my head. Now as I’m writing this, I still can feel abit pain…. At least is better than before.

Dentist in Parit Buntar

Today what a nice day… thinking that so long dint enjoy it… morning grandma and I went to Perak Parit Buntar to see dentist… Dr Goh. Whose know Goh is closed. He only will back to business on 25 May…aiks… I purposely go to find u! u close ! ai…
Then we go to Penang Nibong Tebal to do something….
Within 30 minutes we cross 3 states leh… haha… feeling so nice… drive within the speed limits…

After that we go back to Perak again…forget to give chicken to my aunty in Parit Buntar… she recommended us another dentist Dr Kumari… saying he quite good! So we go! I have my teeth checked and fill in a big whole… while my grandma cabut 1 tooth. Total cost us RM55… wah…is far cheaper than KL’s dentist which I heard from friends.

Back to home. Have a rest and do nothing but help grandpa look after shop…. Read newspaper… day dreaming…

phone set in Penang

I finally manage to find back to phone set ! horey ! this morning, I received a sms and telephone number saying that the phone set is with the man. Yeah….
This phone set is used during my diploma in Penang. I applied RingRing card services. Each month just cost RM1.50 rental plus 5 % government tax.
After I finished my diploma I din cut off the line. As it is useful to the junior. And they also got pay the bill.
Until recently I noticed that the bill is not paid since December! Now it accumulated RM9.00 plus… so I thinks is time for me to cut off the line. So I called back the uncle who in charge the house! But he said he is giving back the house to the owner. He is closing the house. Aiks… then how about my phone. He din saw the phone during clearing the house. So I asked he to give me the last batch people who stay in that house, maybe 1 of them is taking my phone set ! I called, and they saying they din take but put the phone in the room. That’s explain why uncle din saw the phone. So I called back him and ask him to find back.
And this morning I got the answer! I know where my phone it is… can save up fine of RM66 by Telekom if I fail to return the phone!

Uncle

Just now while online…suddenly my uncle called me. 1st he asked me how was the exam… got confidence to pass or not. Then I would him that I’m not doing well in the internal exam… but still hope that I can pass and go to UK 3 months to get degrees.

After that he asked on ACCA. I told him this coming June exam I will be taking final 4 papers… so after brief understanding on me then he start to comment on my choices…

Suddenly he mention about UTAR… asking whether I got friends who also study in there…saying UTAR is better as it do not need to go to UK to get honor degree and you can use the degree to further to master! Saying that nowadays people do not care whether you get UK degree or local degree… they prefer master… aiks… master? Accounting where do need this wo…ACCA is better I was thinking then…

Then continue…asking how much is my CGPA now… 2.8-2.7 around that loh…and he saying that local university & UTAR is much easy to study… there is no different between them some more can get your degree without fail even can get a above CGPA of 3.5. and advance diploma compared with degree sure is degree will prevail leh…

Talk…talk… so much… I just listen and keep saying “ya…ya….ya….” so demotivated by him !
He give me a few example of relatives who fail undergone the 3 years audit life… 1st is from UM…accounting. He manage to works about 1 year plus… then later cant tahan the life of auditing which is under paid and long hours… so he switch to commercial to be factory accountant.
2nd is she from UUM. She also cant tahan the life of audit same as above…
this both examples I heard long time ago…and my uncle still use it to scare me! Ai…
why my uncle so not supportive one… maybe he studying Engineering kua…use his perspective to judge the accounting line… my other uncle and aunty who are involved insurance line also didn’t talk much…they say just complete your studies and ACCA!
