Narcissism of Malaysia's Politic

I know by writing this bulletin, I'd end up my life being remanded or worst, arrested by the ISA. But this is my humble opinion.

I'm tired of Malaysia's politic.

Both right & left-handed.

M'sia isn't M'sia....ANYMORE.

Democracy...It just a joke, lame joke by the G.

Now all the ministers of both parteys....could you be more well-mannered in the parliament?.You're a public figure. Everyone's watching y'all debating in such a kiddo manner. Shouting & insulting. Do not ever tell me that's how the Parliamentary Debate should be(LAME). Wash your mouth with soap so dat it will be squeaky clean (LAME).

Week 13 – 14: These two weeks I tried to finish the chapter that I targeted to be done before I give back my responsibility to Puan Siti Azibanul. On these two weeks, I’ll be observed by my guidance teacher, Puan Siti Azibanul. She observed me on the 7th period on Wednesday and this time I told to my students that Puan Azibanul will going to do the observation. As ordered, they gave fully co – operations and luckily half of the class went to the ERT room to finish their task ordered by their teacher. It was a relief as I could conduct the activity in the manageable condition. However, Puan Azibanul only observed for less than 10 minutes before I could do some activities with them. I hope that she could judge me fairly as she is an experienced teacher I tremendously needed a good mark for my teaching as well as my efforts. On the final week of my practicum, I was asked by Puan Azibanul to do the oral test with my students. For the whole week I only do the oral test with them and at the same time preparing for final lesson plan for the second observation. As expected, some of the students couldn’t even converse in English. Those groups were the talkative click that I often pointed out. The oral test was beyond satisfactory as I put high expectation on them. However, some were doing very well as I never expect that those students could done better. On the Wednesday, my final observation wasn’t the one I wished for. My guidance teacher couldn’t make it on that day and she didn’t come to observe me. I assumed that she might be very busy. I regretted that I didn’t do the observations earlier. If I could, I would like to be given a fair mark. Before, I couldn’t make a date of observation with her because I hardly seen her in the staff room and I was being informed by other teacher that she is one of the busiest teacher. I understand that she gives full commitment on the examinations class (Form Three) and would only asked for her to observe me when she is free. In the end of my final class, I gave my two-cents to my students and asked for their apology. I have nothing to be given to my students. All I could give to them is a piece of advice for their realization.

Week 12: This week will be the busiest week in the school schedule. There will be Hari Koperasi Sekolah and School’s open day. We attended the meeting for the important days on Wednesday 25th June. Among the issues that were mentioned in the meeting were the allocations of the classes for the open day. Every class teachers will be going to meet the parents and giving out the midyear result. We will be assigned to the class that we teach to assist the class teacher. Today (26th June) the school celebrated Hari Koperasi Sekolah. The occasion was commenced by Y.B Senator Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Muhammad B. Muhammad Taib, (Minister of City and Federal Development). The school turned into the business center where the classes were selling a lot of stuffs such as foods, games and so on. We were spoilt by the choices of food and bought plenty of it to be taken back to the staff room. It was a tense moment as we’re going to meet the parents face to face. We were aware that meeting the parents would be the worst nightmare for all teachers especially with the picky parents. I understand their awareness about their children’s performance at the school and should seek advices from the teacher. On the positive side, I found that parents and teachers should co-operate with each other in improving the student’s study performance. I predicted that I will meet up with the fussy parents, however I found that mostly the parents very understood and some of them asking me on how to improve their children performance especially for the subject English. The unforgettable moment was when I met with Muhd Harris the Caucasian boy and his parents. At first his father came to get the result and have a talk with me regarding on his child’s exam result and manner. I gave my decent opinion and his father was satisfied with the answer. However, the family (the whole family) came again and his mother wanted to talk with the class teacher. She asked this and why to the teacher and very particular with the answer. The class teacher is seen getting annoyed by his mother but she tried her best to answer the questions even though she’s not very good in conversing in English. Sometimes I helped her to say the alternate words in English as she couldn’t explain it. Luckily, the mother wasn’t pointing out on the teacher’s credibility. I thought that I wouldn’t be questioned by her. After she finished and partly satisfied with the class teacher answers, the mother asked me what were the major problems of his boy especially in the subject English as she expected that Harris would get the highest mark. (Harris got B for the English paper). For a few seconds I paused and gathered the ideas on how to answer her back. After I gave my decent opinion, I found that the mother was fully satisfied with the answer and agreed of the idea that students are tend to make a translation from Bahasa Melayu to English and the reluctant to speak in English in the class. A sigh of relieve came from the class teacher, beyond the admirations of how beautiful her blue eyes. 12.30pm we’re leaving the class and walking to the staff room with the new experience.

Week 13 – 14: These two weeks I tried to finish the chapter that I targeted to be done before I give back my responsibility to Puan Siti Azibanul. On these two weeks, I’ll be observed by my guidance teacher, Puan Siti Azibanul.

In the end of my final class, I gave my two-cents to my students and asked for their apology. I have nothing to be given to my students. All I could give to them is a piece of advice for their realization.

Week 11: In this week, there will be a talk by the Firefighter Department about the awareness of the school safety especially the fire drills. After the talk, the Firefighters performed a demonstration on putting off the fire. The students were eager to see how the fire extinguisher works and this is the time for them to gain a hands-on experience with the tool. As mentioned by Mr. Norman, the fire drill will be carried out at any time on that day and the whole school must be reacted as ordered like taking the right routes to the safety place (the field) according to the emergency plan which is pasted on every classes. The first fire drill was a success where all the students and teachers only took five minutes to gather at the field. On the ninth period (Monday), I will be once again observed by Puan Nirmala Devi. This time I’ve mentally and physically prepared. I continued the chapter 11 with the more exciting activities. Perhaps on that day was the best lesson plan I’ve ever made for the past 10 weeks. The feedback from the students and the participation was outstanding as all of them gave full co-operation. It was a ‘happy and fun’ teaching that I’ve ever experienced. Whatever the outcome after that, I considered it satisfactory and the best I have done so far. On Friday, there was an unexpected fire drill on the sixth period. It seems that this unpredicted fire drill has shocked some of the students and almost fainted. Lucky, it was manageable, except one of the classes was not gathered at the field. They might not hear the emergency bell as they were all at the art room and the class; Form One Epsilon was considered ‘burnt’.

Week 10: In this week, I’m having discussion with my class about the English paper. We discussed the paper one and paper two. It was a shocking as I discovered that mostly my students were very lack in vocabulary and frequent spelling errors occurred not to one person but to almost half of them. They often left the letter ‘Y’ in the ‘THEY’ word and mispelled some the words like ‘FRIEND’, ‘EXTREME’, and ‘EXCURSION’ even though the words are actually have been mentioned in the class and printed in the examination questions. I highlighted the summary section as this section is considered as the easiest to score. Besides, I explained to them (individually) on how I gave marks to their essays. So far, the students were satisfied with the marks that I gave although some of them were begging to me for some extra marks. Before I gave the final marks to them, I met Puan Siti Azibanul and inquired her about my marking. Lucky that Puan Siti Azibanul gave a fine comment; fair and considerable marks. My review on the students essays is: 1)They need to read a lot and double check the spelling with the assistance of dictionary. 2)Double check the spellings every after finish answering the essay or summary. Spelling is considered as the essential part of the language and it will be tested and given marks. This week, I’ll be monitored by my supervisor Puan Nirmala Devi and I needed to prepare for it. On that day, I planned to teach them chapter 11: Looking ahead, a chapter about the famous idol Dr.M Jegathesan. I admitted that I didn’t prepare very well as I’ve promised with my students to discuss the English paper one. What is more, my students were making noise, and unexpectedly one of the students screamed out loud as her friends scared her with the little spider. I was like, ‘what a mess’. For the whole double periods I tried to carry on my teaching although the students were not sporting. Maybe it was my mistake as I never told them that the lecturer will going to come and observe me. I just tried to make the class’ atmosphere looked ‘natural’ and the students didn’t have to pretend innocent. Anyway, I still have one observation by next week and that is the only chance for me to get a better verdict. I need to make some corrections and modifications on my lesson plan and teaching skills for the next observation.

Week 6 -7: Examinations weeks. We were taking role as the invigilators for the class that we teach and also for the classes that we relieved. I assumed that the relief classes would be under control and the quietest of all as the students were sitting for the examinations. Before that, we were given the rules for invigilating the class. This rule is being set for the examinations purpose so that the students won’t make any attempts to score the paper. The examinations started on 12th until 22nd of May. On 22th of May, the representatives from Cambridge Language Schools of Bukit Jelutong and Subang Jaya came to the school to discuss with teachers teaching using the medium of English for creating a course for teachers at their centers personalized to fulfill our school’s teaching requirement. This is because the educational system has gradually changed to the English medium; begin with the critical subjects such as Mathematics, Science, and technical drawing subjects. The teacher faces the translation problems especially with the terminologies. On 23rd of May, the school held a Teacher’s Day. Due to the examinations week, the celebrations was postponed after the examination has done. I’m lucky as this is the memorable moment during our practicum at the school. We have a chance to celebrate our first Teacher’s Day and were being appreciated for our job. Teachers day started with the teachers being introduced one by one and surpisingly I was the first person to be introduced. I was a bit nervous as this is my first experience. Well, luckily that I involved with the stage performance and I managed to overcome my nervousness and walked through the stage confidently. The gala began with the National anthem followed by the Selangor’s state anthem and speeches by the senior assistant represented our principle Puan Aisah that wasn’t able to present due to the work commitment. The celebration continued with the very own teacher’s choir and we sang ‘Guru Malaysia’ song to the students followed by the student’s performances. After that games where held, with six groups of teachers competing in three competitions like passing water through half a plastic bottle, coconut shaving, and passing marbles with chopsticks.

Week 5: After the school period, we were attending a talk about to the development of the staff’s (Sesi Perkembangan Staf kali ke-2). The talk was conducted by En. Raj from CUEPACS to promote a new insurance scheme that is more beneficial to teachers as a whole than other insurance offered elsewhere. The insurance offers the coverage not only to the applicants but also to their spouse and children. It’s a good long-term investment cum insurance. After that, the meeting continued with the religious talk given by an Ustaz from University Islam Antarabangsa for the Muslim teachers. While they attended the talk, I and Jennifer waited for them at the staff room and I continued the draft for tomorrow’s lesson. Next week will be the examination week, so I just make a lesson plan for the week after midyear holidays.

Week 3: On week three (3), we were given a chance to be the teacher-in-charge for the school’s Karate-Do club, which is conducted on every Saturdays. Every time we attend the class, we need to take the student’s attendance and monitor them until they’re done. On this week, I begin my rehab class with the three students of Form 1 Epsilon. We were given the story books for our teaching material. Apart from that, we were also bought and brought some of the suitable reading materials. We were having the rehab class at the canteen, open hall and library.

Week 2: We attended our first assembly. It was an exciting moment as this is the first time we stood in front of thousands of students. We were like, “I can’t imagine I’m sitting here in front of the students. Long before, I was like those students that stood and faced the teachers”. As usual, the assembly began with the National anthem, “NegaraKu”, followed by the state anthem of Selangor, “Duli Yang Maha Mulia”. Afterward, the student’s representative (the prefects) recites the National Principles and School’s Principles. Next, the teacher-on-duty makes an announcement about the class cleanliness and students’ behavior. In SMK Bukit Jelutong, all teachers are the discipline teachers. Every week, two teachers will be assigned the duty to monitor the students and mark the cleanliness of each class. After hearing the result of the weekly winner for the cleanest and the dirtiest class, the teacher make an announcement about the activity that will be carried on the whole week. Among the activities that will be carried out this week is, Talk about the Drug Abuse by the National Anti-Drug Association, Anti-Drug Campaign, Exhibition by the Anti-Drug Association and the police and also the Anti-Drug posters Competition. I found that the school is packed with the activities and events, as if the school is the place of the never-ending carnival. This week, I will begin to teach my class. I’m taking Puan Siti Azibanul’s class, Form 2 Lambda. According to Puan Khairunnisa (Class teacher), it’s the second best class where the students take Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu Pilihan Kedua. So I expect that this students possess a mediocre until advance proficiency of English. I’ll be meeting my first class during the last period (ninth period). It’s a single period, so I just make an introduction session with them. First time I entered the class, I felt a sudden claustrophobia. I felt very unpleasant with the narrow, crowded place. Of course, there are 47 students being packed in the small class!. It’ll be quite challenging as I expect that a massive noise would happen every time we’re doing the activities. As usual, I introduced myself as their new English teacher for three months and I asked them to introduce themselves, simply enough by telling their names and nicknames. Ever since this was my first class, I conducted a language game; Spelling Bees. The game is aimed to test on their range of vocabulary. They enjoyed the game very much although they were a bit noisy. Well, I took that as a normal class environment, active with the controllable noise. For tomorrow’s class, I was being informed by Puan Siti Azibanul that she had booked the media room for movie-watching; The Phantom of The Opera. This novel will be used as a case study for the literature component. So, on Tuesday’s class, I cannot begin my first class wwith 2 Lambda. One thing that I need to take note, my class on Tuesday will not be exactly 80 minutes. This is because the first period is taken by the roll call which is the mini assembly for students before they enter the class. There will be several announcements from the teachers, clubs and organizations about the activity of the week. The daily roll-call usually takes time especially if there are educational and motivational talks. It will be a bit challenging for me in estimating the time for my lesson. Sometimes my Tuesday lesson will be a bit off timing; too early done with the activities or cannot finished the other tasks. After the roll call, all of the 2 Lambda students went to the media room. With the help of Mr.Ramesh, I set up the electronic devices such as television and DVD player, while the students rearranged the chairs and get into their best position to watch the movie. I supposed that we could finish watching the movie within two periods. However, the first period has been taken by the roll call and the remaining 40 minutes wasn’t enough to finish the whole movie. We just watched the movie half way and some of the students didn’t enter the class as they were loitering outside and only entered the room for the last 10 minutes. I begin to doubt myself whether I could handle this class for the whole three months. I hope that I won’t get any mental breakdowns within three months. Wednesday. My first official class with the proper lesson plan. I felt a bit nervous. I need to get into the mood of teaching and visualized how it should be done. As I entered the class, I found that more than half of the students were still loitering outside even though the recess was over. My only better time is at the ninth period, as all the students will attend the class and wait for the last bell of the day. I waited for almost half an hour. As they all entered the classroom, I showed my unpleasant facial expression. After the greeting, I ordered them to remain silent and started with my ‘pre-set induction’ my rule in the English class. I need to set up the rules as this class is a bit talkative and often escape from the classes. My rule is simple, be punctual, especially for the after-recess classes. My first lesson went smoothly even though the group activity was a bit chaotic (good friends sat together and began storytelling and ignore the task). They’re manageable. I can say that they love doing the activity. It was a success at the beginning and I hope I improve my teaching skills day by day. After the class, I continued to make a draft on the next lesson plan. Before that, we were being informed that we’re going to teach some of the weakest students of form One (1). These students are considered weakest in English as they are very weak in reading. We were given three (3) students each and the time table for their rehab class.

Week 1: Monday. We arrived at the school at 7.00 am. While we’re waiting for other fellow trainees, we met some of the permanent teachers and get to know with them. It was an exciting moment as that was the first day we received our first greet from the students who passed us by. Before we entered to the staff room, we met Pn.Zanariah, the school’s Senior Assistant in her office for a small briefing. She explained about the attendance of the trainees, the ethics as a teacher and some of the student’s behaviors that we would expected in the classroom. Then she took us to the staff room, where we supposed to be seated at. We were being placed at the empty cubicle next to the Head of Kemahiran Hidup Bersepadu (KHB) Department, Pn. Nik Zainab and Pn. Liza Dahlia, the Head of English Department. The cubicle was spacious and can be occupied by three (3) people at the same time. It was an air-conditioned room that held up to 40 teachers. For the first day in the school, we were given the relief’s classes. I got three classes to relief; Form 5 Omega, Form 4 Zeta and Form 4 Epsilon. It was a bit tense as I was given the upper secondary classes to relief for the first time. Before we entered the classes, we’re being advised by Pn Zanariah that the first thing that we need to aware was showing the straight and strict face. The first impression determines how the students will go to give feedback. It is advised that the teacher must give the straight but strict look so that the student pays respect and will not easily judge as an approachable teacher. We were given the timetable and the list of the classes along with the location as our guidance. My first relief class, Form 5 Omega was a talkative yet controllable. I kept to my mind that the upper secondary should be treated less strict and I told them politely for not making too much noise. As I expected, some of the students approached me and asked me the translation of the word ‘suffer’ in Bahasa Malaysia. It gives me the impression that mostly the students in that class possess very good English. After that the second student came to the desk and asked me about the format of the Bahasa Melayu debate. I was a bit confused with the debate format with the normal composition as I left this subject (BM) quite a long time. It reminds me that being a teacher we must be prepared with varieties of knowledge, not only English but other subjects as well. For the first time, I managed to control the class and they were behaving well. My second relief class was Form 4 Zeta. I was being told by other teacher about this class. This class is a bit troublesome where some of the students love to loiter at the toilet, walk around the school compound and never entered the class. As I expected, after recess, I entered the class and found that only four students were sitting there. I told to myself that this is the time for me to show my strictness. I asked one of the students in that class to find his friend and urge them to come back. He managed to bring back half of them. While the classroom was a bit noisy and I tried to calm the rest of them, one of the discipline teachers came to the class and scolded the students from the back of the class. All of the students went silent. Lucky that En.Saiful came to ‘calm’ the students and told me to write the misbehave student’s name if happen they did any offends in the class. I managed to silent them for 10 minutes before I went to the next class. Thank God that I didn’t relief the class for double periods. I guess that I need to be emotionally prepared if happen I go to relief that class in the future. The next stop was Form 4 Epsilon. This time I entered to the smartest class of Form 4. I didn’t have much trouble in the class as the students were all well-mannered and were doing the revision. For the rest of double periods, I sat peacefully and browsed the Curriculum Specifications and made drafts for my first lesson plan. The first day in school wasn’t that bad. We managed to get through the mixed-behavior students and get to know with some of the teachers.Tuesday. As usual we’re given some relief classes as a lot of teachers went to courses for a few days. I found that, by giving the relief classes, I can get to know the students mixed-behavior and how we cope with it. For the second day I relief the upper secondary classes, but so far they’re controllable. On the second day I relief Form 4 Sigma and Form 5 Lambda. I’ve learned that the Form 4 students are a bit rebellious while the Form 5, as expected, are well-behave and matured. Form 4 Sigma is known as a sleepy head as most of the students were sleeping. It’s a good thing as they were all silent. However some of the students were going overboard as they arranged the chairs and slept soundly as if they were sleeping on the nice, cozy sofa. At this time, I didn’t tolerate with them. I asked them to rearrange the chairs back to the original position and warned them for not doing so again. They obeyed my warning but then continued their sleep again.For the whole week we just relieved the classes. At the same time, we surveyed the school compound, especially the location of the classes, laboratory, library, access room, media room, canteen and workshops.

Finally...Eventually

Wee... I managed to finish my group report and my Journal. I'll dedicate my teaching experience in this blog. Happy reading ^^

Walking Down the Memory Lane

I can't believe that I've just finished my practicum. It's been two weeks since my last day at the school. As expected, I gained weight and noticeably 'larger' than before...sob..sob... I spent most of my days by SDO-ing, yeah..let your pixel dance and slim and not the real you.. sob..sob. When my junior passed me by and surprisingly mentioned how 'BIG' I am, I started to worry. I don't want to be a fat girl. So I've decided to take out my dancing pad and begin my dancing routines. At least I could discard some of the excessive fats in my tummy and thighs...*sigh*. Most of the time i'll go chill out with my sampat friends in SDO chat-room (the game room become the chat room) and also 'shua' (battle with other guilds)to up our guild rank. Yeah, sounds addicted to it, but it's fun. Therefore, it wasn't a harm for you to get to know with the new friends. I love my new friends. Oh ya, today is my first day working as the salesperson of Memory Lane. Yup, I get the job and me and Kak D just made it. We've learned a lot of things on the first day. From the top-up the card stocks till the gift wrapping and ribbon making which is quite en joyful. Overall, it wasn't a bad start for the beginner like us, as we never done the wrapping thingy. Well, lucky that we only worked for 5 hours and currently undergoing the training for a month. I believe within that period of time, we should be able to work and walk gracefully down the Memory Lane.

Long Time Ago~~

It's been a while since my last post. I've been very busy for the past 3 months and here I am,just done with the hellish practicum shaking my legs and doing nothing except *SDOing, *Facebooking (Leveling my mini me as a Dancer and a Vampire) and *Friendstering. *-Dowh- Shouldn't I be a grammarian ?(approved!). Nothing much I did after a week being assigned as a grape farmer (and my vineyard is growing bigger O.o). ***Oh ya, congrats to my SDO-X character ~*+Vica+*~ , as she is succesfully 'married' to [[_+Nike+_]] on 30th June 2008. And now, my 1st SDO-X character, Rovica will be going to follow her sister's step and planning to marry ~*+Tsubasa+*~ in a short period of time. This marital ceremony will be done in grand ceremony as this is my first character in SDO-X. Gong Xi Gong Xi. ***This is just a game marriage. Nothing serious about it. In fact, my Mini Me is married to my Xiaodidi (little brother) of SDO-X. LOL. I'm a friend/sister/dancing partner of my didi, Advin ([[_+Nike+_]] & ~*+Tsubasa+*~).(And yes, he has a real life girlfriend). Here's the piktar of the newlywed

Teach Me Teacher

Life is not a joke. Finally I've paid for what I've done to my teachers when I was a student. I am a TEACHER. Although it is just a 3 months practicum, well, that's enough to torture me (and the rest of my besties) badly until I've finally realized that teaching profession wasn't my real choice (shall I say, my last resort?). If I were given a chance to teach between the remote areas and the urban, I (of course) prefer the remote areas. The remote area such as Kanowit (my place of birth) wasn't that bad. The lack of entertainments - cinema, shopping malls and clubs??! is another exception but not an excuse for me to come and teach there. Plus, I can get those 'pain-killers' - exclude the clubs & lounges - at Sibu, my second 'very owned' hometown. With courage to walk down the streets, bravery to across the fussy roads, athlete's foot to walk from block to block and RM50 in the pocket for bus fares (RM10 for returned bus fares, RM1.60 for mini bus fares from bus terminal to the heart of Sibu city), cinema ( Star Cineplex - Let's say RM10/movie), foods (fast-food KFC, can get below RM10 or eat at Chinese restaurant which cost not more than RM5 for tauhu soup and milo 'peng' - can get cheaper if order 'Kampua' + min tai peng) Talking about food, we have our very own Mee Papan East M'sia a.k.a sizzling hotplate at Peninsular M'sia. This mee papan ('Wooden-plank' mee) is quite pricey at Sibu - RM3 for an ordinary mee papan, and a whooping RM6 with extra prawns. But that's just okay because it tastes much better than the sizzling hotplate at Giant :p. Bus fares, cinema, foods, see where else can I spend my RM50:No idea:. Then it's time to window-shopping. We got Parkson a.k.a Wisma Sanyan, Premier (Hotel cum Shopping Complex), OUR VERY OWN SUPPAMAKETTO - JUN RONG and the list is still going on... . Those places are reachable by foot. In fact, it's just a walking-distance. So, kaaching! It's a money-saver. Unlike in K.L, we hav to take tren to go to places like Berjaya Time Square, Lowyat Plaza, KLCC, even worst is Midvalley (I hate the crowds, I hate the crowds). WOW, think I couldn't spend the whole RM50? Hell naw! I would buy some foods to eat, the traditional delicacies like kompia (Very own Sibu burger, one of the foo chow's traditonal food), kampua (This is the Sibu celebrity!:drooling:) Laksa Sarawak (/play cool), Wantan Soup..owh.. So many nicest foods that are available at Sibu. (Thanks to Foo Chow people for making a lot of foods.^^)Teach me how to cook those foods!

Well, eventhough there are a lot of fun activities that can be done in K.L (Bowling, Cinema - i admit, it is much better than Sibu's, state-of-the-art shoping complex - ailevyu Sunway Pyramid), I can't resist one thing from my place, Foods..owh..

No matter what it is, life must goes one. I'll stay at where my money comes..a lot! ^^.

Happy Teacher's Day

Rovica: What's all the fuss?

The holiday almost come to an end. I still sitting here, playing around, watching cartoons, pixel-dancing and bla bla bla. Such a waste living here. (God help me). I've been updating my profile in friendster here and there; changing songs, editing some old photos, answering ridiculuos surveys - just to kill my time. Then suddenly..... I've been thinking, what is all about in my name? What does it means? I got this idea when I read about Diana. I don't know where I read this name though, but it does says that name reflects what kind of personality we are. Seriously, this oracle thingy has revolved all around me. Not to be a superstitious person,BUT I sometimes do believe in karma things (LOL). Well, not many infos that I got in my name, but I believe that I share my name with other people around the world. I found several profiles, (there are 1 and 2, not many pages) that link to my name. I found the Pinoy teenager shares my name (with the exact spelling), makes me wonder where did my parents get the name. (LOL). Then I found something that is quite interesting, where mostly the search engine returns the result of the name of a place. Rovica - an ancient place somewhere in Albania. I got clips from youtube with my name (and exact spelling of course), entitles "Democràcia al Rovica". I don't know what is all about, but from the word, if we literally translate it to English, it resembles Democracy. Then I try to translate it using Babel Fish Translator and here I got: Democràcia to the Rovica. So I assume that it is a democracy to the Rovica. Hahah, never knew that I'm ruled by the Republican. So, i thought that I am a 'country' until I read it again and again and log on to the website of the 'democratic party:. I wait for the page until it is fully-loaded. To my surprise, it was an alcohol beverage site, and Rovica is a Bar!! LOL. FYI, Rovica has been mapped as a selected Bar who votes 'Referendumsaaz' as the official beer. That's it. The End (ROFL.LOL)

Boredom ~ --~

Think of living alone is fun? Now think again, coz I'll show you the real life of living alone (and idle). I don't know how long I could stand living alone doing nothing here in my apartment (lol). Now let's starts the routine of the lotus eater. 2.30pm - I wide awake. I thought I could wake up at 12pm, end up two hours later. As I stepped out from my room, I heard the knocking at the door. I'm still paranoid of the knocking after I misunderstood people's alarm of the fire from Sam's house with the fight. Funny story actually. I'm confidently went to the door and opened it because it's morning, and I'm a gutter by morning and chicken by night. As I opened the door, I hear some voices from the outside, sigh, perhaps they've been knocking the door for too long. Then I saw two malay girls standing with the big bags and asking what gender lives here. I was like, why is she asking me the gender, but not the name of the person that they wanted to find. O.0... With the blurry mind and snoozy eyes, I straight up said, NOPE. I guess they'd freak out knowing that no girl lives here. (And who am I for denying -the fact that I'm a girl that live there ? o.O) Confidently, I closed the door without hearing any further explanations from the girls ~ I guess they can assume that the person they're looking for is not in this house. Then I proceeded to the pc, downloading & chit-chatting with friends til I realised that it almost 5.00pm. You see there, I can kill time doing just a little thing like chit-chatting and downloading files. 5.15 (to be exact) - I wanted to level up my character in SDO. So I entered the game server and begin to play. Just few songs, it went all chaos as I disconnected from the sever. WTF!. I almost win the dance, but suddenly all people disconnected. I just try my luck to re-enter the server, but fail. I just gave up and went straight to the bathroom and shower. Beforehand, I cooked rice coz I just feels like wanted to eat rice with canned mackerel. Guess what, it's wednesday, and got Pasar Rabu infront of my apartment. (teeheehee - I'm not a clubber). I imagining the tastiness of the very own KFC at Pasar Rabu, so I decided to buy some at there. Yummy~~ 7.45pm - I went to pasar Rabu, bought chicken wings as I wish to buy before and 2 bungkus nasi lemak biasa. What a big appetite today!. That includes my brunch-cum-dinner. 8.00pm - It's a prime news. I watched in news of today. Surprisingly, I never thought that this 2008 election has a massive changes. Weird, Malaysian political issues are the other thing that I hate the most. Too much flaming.. 8.30pm - It's a coffee time!. No, it's Korean Drama " Coffee Prince" in the TV. I've watched those episodes actually. I'm waiting for episode 15.

Sweet as sugar...The silence killer

Alone, sitting in the living room Facing the keyboard, typing the lines.. The lines that I wouldn't understand... I should've know this before.. Never let anything from the past haunting you down.. Sugar...sweet...Like love.. Everything is so beautiful.. But where is the mistake? Like saying, Love is only pain, disguised as a kiss.. And you wanna give me this pain? Arrogance, that suits you.. We both don't fit to each other. By counting letters in our names, I don't think that you are perfectly fit me.. Wanna know why? 'Cause we only have 1% chance to meet with each other. And that sounds pathetic, 'cause you never mention about your feeling to me. You want me to carry this all by myself? Better don't.

Some may lies... The fact is, 'that' matters a lot

I thank God for giving us the chances to be ourselves, how we adapt to the living and the power to judge His other creatures in the world. I adore God for giving us the sense of human although sometimes human misuse the given chances. I'm impressed with the handwork by God that He is so smart to create human with feelings, behaviour and work His 'product' in the way it should be. The matter is, human never appreciate what God gave us until today. It is the fact that I'm not a philosopher, though, but as an observer in this community, I began to wonder how God will react to the fact that the human are getting worst and lost their self-consciousness. I asked God, Why it should be like this and that, where is the so-called humanity value has gone, does human ever think what they've done has the effect to others? I emphasize that, why people must LIE? Sometimes, I feel like I need to LIE to people about my private life (what I should tell you of, it's my privacy and it's a confidential). I lie to my parents about my financial status just because I wanted more $$ to afford myself. That's not an issue after all, as all my friends, indeed, lies to their parents. Talking about friendship,loyalty and bla bla bla, recently, me and my besties just learnt one thing, 'The Survival of the Fittest'. We just gained tips on how to save your ass in the predatory community. At the same time, me and my bestie just found the best time to bitching around about this particular person. Perfect combo, Coffee Beans, it is simply the perfect hang-out of the evening. (Yeah, Sometimes, Gossip do match with Caffeine treat ). The fact that, I hate to sell STORIES (unintentionally),but ever since me and my bestie were having our happy hour, we just love to talk and bitching about this person, not for profit though but FYI. However, we're not direct-selling the story to others, we're just keep it in the Coffee Beans atmosphere(the Giant hypermarket, literally). Yes, we've learnt the tips to survive in the so-called cruella friendship. I've bad experienced with this 'ship. In fact, I love being myself now, well at least, I'm off-and-away from the bitchy community. As I leave the past behind and live the new one, I found that, it's getting harder to keep survive in this atmosphere. I hard to breathe as I gasp the foul air of hypocrisy too much than I expected previously. I tried to tangle up my words as I wanted people to think what the hell I'm blogging about now ( I thank you for read my blog, indeed). One thing that I wanted to tell to the World, Give chance to be yourself. Be yourself, Be nice with others, vanished all hatred and keep it in your stomach so that it'll become shit (Thanks K, for the phrase)

We're fuking Starbucked!! *Warning: Not for the weak-stomach

Haha... Just we thought of caffeine, this name come first trough our minds. Me and Ms. Donna loves to try this pricey caffeine (we're fuking loaded biatch). What a stylish biatch we were look alike when we're strolling around the Pyramid with the Starbucks grande Frappe in our hands. Mine is caramel while Ms. Donna's mocha. After sip by sip, we reached at the end of the new wing (faced Sunway Lagoon) and take a rest not far from the other Starbucks outlet. While my dad's calling me on the line, the sudden pain struck my stomach. I can bare the pain for a while, but as I sipped the last drop of the frappe, it became worst. I was thinking, maybe I ate too much spicy food this noon, so I just ignore it, UNTIL I can't stand the pain. "Dad, I got to go, I feel like want to pangsai la" said me. Without hearing my mum's goodbye, I ended the call. Just about to tell to Ms. Donna that I wanted to pangsai, suddenly Ms. Donna told me that he wanted to pangsai too.. Owh gosh, we're thinking, was that bloody pricey caffeine that we drank makes us wanted to pangsai? Fuhgedaboutit, we just want to settle down the butterfly-in-the-stomach-business. LOL. I thought that it'll going to be a diarrhea, but it turns out to be just a normal sh*t. -duh-. Well, seriously it might not caused by the Frappes, but we couldn't stand to laugh coz that was the first time we try out Starbucks, and experienced the sudden stomachache right after drank it. It tickled us whether the Starbucks' workers had gave us laxative. However, it's not going to be the last time for both of us, as we know, we're keep on trying the Starbucks after this. No regrets.

Bookworm Shopaholic

Read my forehead - Bookworm. Me and Ms. Donna have made some investments at MPH. LOL. I just bought some books for leisure reading. 3 books worth almost RM100 isn't a big deal for me as I spent RM129 for the 100% silk limited edition necktie as the prezzie for my beloved boyf. For the hobby's sake,I bought the 3 best book to read, The Black Tattoo, Tough Love and Revenge of the SPGs. I'm not intend to make a review earlier as I haven't finish reading all the books. However, I found that the synopsis is quite exhilarating and eager-to-read excitement rushed through my literary veins.

Perfumista

It's a midterm week where everyone will struggle hard to get the 15% (did I hear any swear words?) marks. Sounds pathetic but this is the truth that happens in my university. New Dean, new policy (haihz). However, it never stops me thinking of shopping. ;p. As usual my partner-in-crime Ms. Donna the Knox aka Khidir ;p, went for the so-called just bank-in, which is at the end, unintentionally became the retail therapy for us. At first, it was me who want to buy the new perfume (I'm a perfume-freak collector). End up, I just tested 14 perfumes and i bought none of the one that I've tested. I was looking for the M By Mariah perfume, but too bad, it never suits my smell's sense as I don't like the musky-typed smell. As I've tested several perfumes, I wanted to make the recommendation / vote for the perfume of my choice. ** It is a personal survey/opinion/recommendation made by me, so no offense guys. This is the free country, plus it is my own review. The perfumes of the choice will be the top 5, while the others might be some of the rotten tomatoes - rephrase 'for reference only' ;p

The Splurge,steal it perfumes

1. Flight of Fancy By Anna Sui This is one of my top choice and is rated as 5 out of 5 for the fruity-yet-sweet smell EDT. Recommended & worth for your money too.

2. Just Me By Paris Hilton Perhaps the best scent by Paris Hilton. It's sweet, luxurious feeling makes you want to spray it more and more. (5 out of 5) 3. Smile By Avon This is my first budget fancy perfumes that I used when I was young. Recommended by my mom, I like the sweet-fruity-tangy orange scented works well with my sense. (5 out of 5) 4. Invent Your Scents By The Body Shop - Rougeberry + Aztique I guess I'm a fruity person as I can't get enough of the sweet-fruity scents. This EDT is one of my choices for the casual use. It makes me relax yet gives me the 'chic' feeling. (4 out 5) 5.Guess (Pink) I like the Pink Guess as it is less musky than the Gold Guess. It's smooth, sweet smells leaves an elegant feeling. (4 out 5) The 'Reconsider-to-buy perfumes 1. Code For Women By Giorgio Armani Its quite-nice scent suitable for the evening outing/dinner. Plus, this purple + flowery motives attracts me to smell. 3 out of 5. 2.Guess Gold This is commonly used by women out there, which makes me think twice to buy it. It's a strong-smell perfume and quite popular. So,you don't have to guess it if I wanted to buy it or not. The answer is NO. 3 out of 5 3. Heiress By Paris Hilton Ok, it's not because I'm an avid fan of Paris Hilton. It just how people like me wanted to be like her ;p. The smell is just nice. Sweet musky perhaps not my choice but this one is a good-to-reconsider to buy as you'll find it smells nicer after few hours. 3 out of 5 4. Shine By Incanto This 'Flight of Fancy' wannabe smells good though. I might reconsider to buy this perfume if there's no other choice. 3 out of 5 5. Glow in the Dark By J.Lo Nice packaging,seductive and glamour are the main attractions why people would like to buy it. But when it comes to the smell-testing, I put it the rate 3 as I think it smells less J.Loed to me. Ideal for dinner. 6. Be delicious & Red delicious by DKNY Ok, I don't find any specialty in the scents. To me it just an ordinary scents, thanks to its nice packaging. 3 out of 5 as I'm not enthusiast with its smell The Must-Not-Try-unless-you-are-the-ardent-fan perfume 1. M By Mariah I hate musky -typed of scents. J.Lo would be glad to hear this. :( 2 out of 5 2.Fantasy By Britney Spears Ok. Enough said, I just don't like the too much musky scents. 2 out of 5 3.Midnight Fantasy By Britney Spears Somebody need to stop her producing fragrances. It's total fail. 2 out of 5 4. Darling By Kylie Minogue Nice try darling. you need to try harder. 2 out of 5 5. Aigner Pour Homme I smell and smell it till my nose fill numb and can't get rid off the musky smell. I'm not a musk-musk person. Sorry, not my choice. 1 out of 5 6. Jean Paul Gautier One word to describe this, awkful. 1 out of 5
