Roller Coaster Ride

Wow just realise that I've not been blogging for quite some time. Been quite busy with I'm not sure what. I myself am not really sure what happen to all my free time. The first batch of assignments are due this week so it's crunch time again. My labs for one subject is done only 2 more labs to go I think. Just when you thought that the assignments period had ended, I thought wrong. Next week is my mid sem exams and the second batch of assignments has just come in and is piling up. The whole week has been a emotional rollercoaster for me. At the first day of the week, my bro told me some bad news. Then just when I finish talking to him, my mom called and told me to pray for a problem. During the week, a friend of mine was having an up and down crisis. One minute that person is scolding and blaming me. Then the next minute it was like nothing ever happen. Now at the end of the week, we are no longer speaking to one another and I really dont know why. But I would like to ask for your help in prayer and also in suggestions. I really cant do this own my own. I was so hurt with things that the person had said and I know that we should no take things to our hearts but I just cant help it. How can someone blame you for things you've never even done. And all the times I've been helping out that person. I sometimes just want to tell that person off but I scared that it will hurt that person feelings. I just feel that it is very unfair to the rest of us who have been caring and helping for that person and in the end get shoot back at. Anyway, I really dont know what to do. All I can do is being reminded to continue to pray for that person and myself. SO WHAT SHOULD I DO??? Am I too kind/naive that people always take advantage of me? Why do I always have to face people like this(for this is not my first time)? Is God trying to teach me something from this? So many questions are running through my head. I hope and pray that someone can help me in my dillema. I know at the end God will be there for me and I know that His love will never fail.

Freshies In Sovereign Hand (F.I.S.H)

Just last Friday, my church cell group organized an event for the first years. It was an evangelistic event for first years. However, there were more second year than first years. Nevertheless, the main purpose of this event was to share the love of Christ to our friends. We had testimonies, presentations and games. The most important was that we had food. Free dinner for everyone who came. Haha... The event was a success and we hope that the friends we had brought would continue to open up their hearts. Thank you Lord for making it a success...

New Tune Intro Night

New tune is a chinese club for creative arts(singing, musicians and dancing). I'm not a member but I was asked to help play a few songs for them. They were lacking in musicians and since the president is Edmund(my good friends since childhood) asked me too, I helped out. I only went for practice like two times which was like two days before the event. This intro night is to introduce this club to the first years that just came in to uni. However all the songs that were sung/played are chinese songs. There was only 2 english songs out of the 10. The songs were actually nice and some of the songs were written by the seniors of the club. The whole night was great except of the sound system. The sound system was very bad. Nevertheless, it came to a success. Really enjoyed myself...

Labs!!!

This sem I've 14 labs to do. Every week at least I have 2 labs. The lab reports have to hand in at least 3 days to one week after we've done the experiment. The labs this year are quite interesting. Finally we get to do surveying which is quite tiring and tedious but yet fun. Our environment lab let us test how clean our Faculty lake is. To my surprise the water in the lake is as clean as distilled water. Can you imagine that? The lake water is brown in colour and yet when we test is super clean. It's safe to drink and swim in it. I guess the phrase don't judge a book by it's cover is really proven. The other labs are for fluid mechanics which we experiment about water pressure in pipes and weirs(dams). All in all the labs are really fun but the reports are madness. So many graphs and calculations to do. Luckily we always manage to finish on time. Thank God!!!

Land Surveying

The 2nd Saga Continues....

Wow...I've not been blogging for more than a month already. Well...I guess I can only say that I'm busy again. Busy with activities and assignments. nothing surprising for me...haha...It's my life I guess. As I begin my second year, many things have changed. Firstly, I'm a senior now...feel so old like that...haha...I thought when I get my new room I would be staying in the senior block whereby is a single room..However, I got back my old block when I was first year. Very happy even though I'm staying withh 2 roommates so that means there's 3 of us in the room. The room here is bigger than the room I stayed in my 3rd sem. The best thing is that it is so much cooler...most important..haha...My classes are pretty hectic since I have classes from Monday to Saturday and no breaks in between the week. Well I guess it helps me save money since I wont be able to go out that often...haha...This 2nd year I'm finally learning about my civil and environment engineering. So now I really know what civil engineers do..haha...

Kampar Mission Trip

Last Wednesday I went down to Kampar on a mission trip. I went to help Pst Nicky and his team for a Welcoming Party for the new students of UTAR and KTAR in Kampar. I followed a group from Nottingham. There were 8 Nigerians and 1 Kenyan. i knew them because we are all church members in Kajang. So I really enjoy myself working with them. It was great to see how talented they are. I also learned a lot from them especially in their culture and language. The Welcoming Party was a successful one. In all worked out fine eventhough with last minute practices. It was made possible because God's hands was upon the whole event. We targeted for 50 students to attend but ending up with 170 students. To God be the glory. It was really a nice night. I've learned a new song and 2 African songs. Haha... I really enjoyed myself. Kampar reminded me of my home town. Although I was so near to Ipoh, I couldn't go back for the weekend because I'd presentation today so have to prepare for it. But can't wait to go back next week....

3rd Semester Ends

Wow so long i've not be blogging. I guess probably I'm too lazy and also i was busy. My 3rd semester is finally ending. This week is my last week. This week is actually my final exam week so practically my 3rd sem ends this thursday and I can't wait. At last I can go back home. The sad part is I only will be home for only a week and I'm back in uni to start my 2nd year 1st semester. Oh well I still thank God that I can go back for a week. Time does really fly by very fast. I just finished my first year. My goodness, 3 years left. Pretty soon I'm going to graduate already. Oh well this 3rd semester was kind off like a break to me. I think I went to mid valley once a week just to watch a movie. never in my life have I watched so many movies. Let's see, first was Night At The Museum 2, then Terminator then was 17 Again. I think I'll be watching Transformers 2 this week. Although the many assignments in such short time I still thank God for His mercies. i also was at least able to set my priorities right for next semester. Thank God for my good results too.
