Shifted! ;D
Yay! I have shifted to my new URL already. Finally. =D! Here it is:
A friend of mine overheard some classmates' conversation.
"Sonia likes to wear branded clothings / stuffs"
*LoL*.. I would really love to know WHY did anyone think that. Because I don't. Or even IF i do, the number of branded goods I have are near to z-e-r-o, 0.
Haha.. Why er? He / she should've told me personally mar.. So I'd get to ask for the reason OR about the perception mar.. =P. Btw, my group's presentation today was OK. We're left with a report due this Friday.
Indah Water is starting to get on my nerves... HOw can they perform worse than the government??!!!?! Privatization of it is supposed to bring better outcomes. Why the YELLOW WATER??? I think it's getting worse already. Even when we wash our clothes, they get stained... AND my hands (fingers) are hurting because I had to bleach & handwash them! ARGHHH! >(!!
I'm starting to wonder WHY do I usually have communication problems with my parents. Well.... More of with my dad. Actually I know lar certain reasons as to why, but it doesn't answer my question of "Why do we argue so often?"
Why am I still not opening (launching) my new website?? =(. Actually it's because I don't want anyone to see it so messy. *sigh*.. I'm on it, I'm on it.. Btw, I might be having a presentation on Wednesday. If not, my senior would present for our group. It'll be my first time seeing degree students present. ;P
Wahhh. My new keyboard's so nice to type on! Hahahahaa.. =)))
It's soft and quiet! I bought it on Wednesday, and this is the first time I'm using it. YAY! ( Sister & friend was using it earlier..=\ )
I'm finally a little free-er. Still have lotsa work to do of course, but can rest a bit now. *phew!* Went to karaoke just now. =D
I want to use my new website (domain) lar.. Should I? ..Should I? The layout is super PLAIN now, because I have no time to make a new one. I think I'll be using it soon lar. Don't need to care how it looks like -lah. I've already wasted 3 months + of not utilizing it! ;P
Will let u know the website address sometime soon. This site s0n1a.blogspot.com will still be here, just that I'll be blogging at the new site SOON. Till it expires lar. I'll post up pictures also. Till then. Can't wait. ^_^
< edit > Weee! I just saw a small part of the opening ceremony of Olympics in Greece. Nice! The drum & fire forming the Olympic logo, plus the fireworks. =D. Also, the presentation & flow of it was nice! (Eg: The play + the mascots). =)). Too bad I can't stay up too late. I've to rest. Think I have a headache.. =\.
Right. I didn't even realise that it's Wednesday already! I obviously got carried away, I think.
not in a good way, but in a... busy way (question mark) =P
Same old thing (or same as previous post) -- I'm stressed over uni work (especially that MAnAGEMEnT subject! Argh).. I'm taking forever to understand the way to do it, etc.
Oh.. And my keyboard is really giving me problems (again)! (I think you sure did notice some weird typings, like the "(ques mark)"! Haha.. =P) So... I'm gona try getting a new one tomorrow! ;D
I need to sleep. Got lotsa work to finish!
P/S: *sob*. I still want guidance on uni stuff (esp. non-marketing-related)! I wanna do better than just pass, can (question mark)
I myself cannot believe the following incident that took place, in class (college) today.
We were given a case study. And were asked to analyse & do a problem diagnosis on it. I tried doing it at home, but still didn't know how to do it properly. Then I remember the lecturer telling us that she'll explain an example in class this week. I figured, Okay.. I'm confused bout my work now, but hopefully the lecturer will help clear things up a bit. It's ok. Listen to her carefully & ask questions. That should do it"
Little that we know, she came into class, and just gave us a sample case - asked us to discuss among our group members. "Sample answers will not be given", she said. She'll only add comments after our discussion. I was thinking "Right. Let's try... AGAIN. Hopefully it'll not confuse me again.." Guess what? It did confuse me, and I didn't know HOW to do it.
Expressing myself:
This is a management subject, and I only seem to know how to do it the marketing way. I tried, hard. I reread the cases & concepts in the textbook. I tried to get myself to understand on HOW to actually start. But I still found myself not know which points are in which part of the (open systems) model? Are they in Part A, B, or C. Seems like the points can fit into part A & B. So what do I do now? etc etc..
I had no clue. I understand the case, but I am stuck. I don't even know what I did was wrong OR actually correct..??? So how do I do it the management way? How can I answer the question correctly?? I didn't know what to do, at all.
I can't believe that I actually cried, half way thru the discussion.
I know many people who don't know me well, would definitely think that I'm a person who cries quite often - over pressure, or anything. I can tell u that I'm not. (Well, apart from relationshipS problems lar)..
When I came back (home), I thought about the incident. I think my team members thought I was quite "weak"? Hehe..
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
But anyways, point to stress here is, I cried! During discussion. Argh. I can't believe it myself. =P The reasons are simply very simple --
1. It was my first time clueless.. And to top that,
2. I thought I wasn't gonna get any help from my lecturer.
~ Was quite sure I was gona be blur for the whole semester (including assignments), if this continues..
(Causes of why I feel so can't be blogged for certain reasons)
I'm feeling a bit better now, because my lecturer finally decided to explain a bit on how our answers should be. At least I know *something* now. Let's hope I'll know how to do a proper assignment now. I don't wana know-nothing....
I just realised HOW BAD my malay language has become already! *LoL*. Btw, there were some errors where I could've corrected them (in my complaint) ..BUT I chose not to, or else it'll become more lengthy than it is now. =PP. You know me. Haha! Or.. May be not, huh? *BleK*
I finally couldn't take it. It feels SO UNCOMFORTABLE / UNEASY surpressing emotions OR matters that are important to be solved. I didn't know what else to do, so I decided to try AGAIN - to bring the issue to the government again (to make a complaint). For those that understand malay, no prob for u. For those that don't, it's about the "surau" where muslims are supposed to only use it for the 5 times a day prayers purposes. I blogged about it before. ;)
Adalah diketahui oleh semua rakyat malaysia, yang surau adalah tempat untuk bersembahyang 5 kali sehari. Itu sahaja. Tetapi di kawasan xxxxx, surau telah disalah guna kan.
Mereka menggunakan surau untuk menjalankan kelas al-quran. Iaitu, apabila kelas sedang dijalankan, "mikrofon" akan dibuka untuk semua penghuni supaya boleh didengarkan.
Mikrofon itu sangat kuat (saya rasa mungkin telah dibuatkan supaya LEBIH kuat, untuk semua yang tinggal disana boleh dengar dengan amat jelasnya). Apabila mikrofon itu telah dipasangkan, boleh dengar semua (cikgu dan murid-murid) menghafal Al-Quran itu. Kadang-kadang apabila murid-murid (kanak-kanak) itu nakal, mereka akan ambil mikrofon itu dan menghafal al-quran atau bercakap ataupun bermain. Selain itu, mereka juga menggunakan surau untuk bercakap dalam bahasa xxx (mungkin cakap tentang Allah) untuk masa yang tidak pendek.
Saya sekarang buat aduan sebab sudah diberitahu sekurang-kurangnya 2 kali bahawa ianya (mikrofon) amat kuat, dan berlangsung untuk masa yang lama, supaya mereka HANYA menggunakan "mikrofon" untuk waktu sembahyang. TETAPI cikgu dan orang yang menggunakan surau itu (orang dewasa) macam tidak peduli, dan masih menyalahgunakan surau itu.
Saya berpendapat bahawa aduan ini amat adil. Saya bukan anti-surau, tetapi penyalahgunaannya. Ramai yang takut bercakap tentang isu ini sebab berpendapat isu ini sensitive. Tetapi sekali lagi, saya hendak bertegas bahawa ianya amat AMAT ADIL. Saya berpendapat bahawa rakyat Malaysia akan dengar kata kata dan menerima tindakan yang adil. Tolong, tolong ambil tindakan yang sewajarnya. Tidak tahu saya untuk mengadu kepada siapa lagi, selain kerajaan. Terima kasih banyak banyak!
I don't go out as often already these days. Today, I went to MidValley. Hmm.. Quite many people for a Monday. Anyways, as I was about to take the bus back, I passed by a "bread store". Thought of just going in to buy something to eat. And then I saw quite a few "new creations". I was like "Hmm.. Wow.. Should I try it?" But I wasn't amazed or very impressed, nothing big. Just wanted to get something down my stomach that kinda thing, ya know.. Bought something and waited for the bus, blah blah blah..
The first thing I did when I reached home, wasn't to eat the bread. (Yes, sorry, I'm so "cheong hei" (naggy?).. My point is, I wasn't at all excited about the new taste / flavour in the bread I bought. =P). Then, I casually took the bread out of its plastic to eat it. *Wahh*.. I felt the cheesy goodness in my bread! Weee! Hahaha.. I was like "NICE!".. Haha.. I'm quite surprised that a bread can actually taste so good! See, I told you I don't go out as often to the malls already. I used to know at least what's going on, or what flavour they have, etc, especially when I'm working there. Hehe.. But now, I think I'm a bit like a "jakun" (like i've nvr seen such things). *LoL*
I'm not sure about the store Rotiboy, whether the bread there really taste so good & has many varieties, ...BUT the store that i went to was the Bread Story shop. Oh, and I ate something with "blueberry & cheese" filling. ;D
