Hi guys, I am finally a graduated from Monash University Malaysia! To be honest, I am actually super proud of myself! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been really supportive throughout these 3 years, especially my family and friends. Love you guys to the moon and back 😘. 


Here are some of the little moments that I have captured on my convocation day and a huge shoutout to my younger sister who helped me to take most of the moments when I was super busy taking pictures with my friends. 




Super grateful that cousin sister and brother came to my graduation 😍
We are like real brother and sister and that's how close we are 😊




Friend since primary school!
Even though we are not like super close until we went to the same secondary school.
Thanks for coming and represent the group 😆




Love. Love. Love them so much! 
Thank you for all the impromptu trips/outing (always super last minute. HAHAHA) and I hope that we are still this close, despite of our busy schedule 😊






Thank you for all the accompany and memories!
Words can't describe how grateful and lucky to have all of you! 💓
Anyways, I hope all of you, who are currently still studying / already working, that your dream can take you to your smile, hopes and success 💓

Sorry for MIA (missing in action ) for so long. 
And I am finally back! 

I have been preparing for my finals and I think I did quite okay... I think 😅
Except for 1 paper, which I am not very confident.

Normally we don't extend our exam, even when there are mistakes/ errors in the paper.
However, in this paper, which is called Survey Methods and Managerial Statistics, there are 3 mistakes out of 4 questions. We understand that our lecturer is human and we do make mistakes.
But having mistakes in 3 out of 4 questions? That's kind of outrageous. The only question that has no mistake is the non-calculation one. That's my first time having exam extended for so long, which is 30minutes.

Our lecturer has assured us that the paper will be like the past year paper and if we can finish the PYP, we would not have any problem with finals. Well, surprise, surprise, guess what!?
 Everyone is scolding the lecturer after the paper though. Haiz... 


Alright, that the update for university part.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Let's talk about something fun.


The first thing I did after my finals is to go and remove my nails. As you guys might already know, I did my first gel manicure at Enchanted Siblings and it's so pretty 😍 I love it so much that I don't really feel like removing it but it is too long for me and I feel that my nails are going to fall soon if I do something rough. 😅 So yea, back to simplicity.


I also attended my friend's birthday party, which is 2 days after my paper.
I was like "wow luckily I finished my paper earlier!" Or not I don't think that I can attend the party though. My mom will ground me from going out 😂


After the party, we went for 2nd round to Play Club KL and it is my first time in a club!
I was so excited and my heart thumbed so fast, that I thought I have heart attack. :O
Anyway, it is a great experience and I shall blog more about it soon, so stay tuned to my blog. 😊


Oh oh, btw, I am currently watching Kdrama, such as While We Were Sleeping and Revolution.
My friend asked me to watch Mad Dog and Witch Court soon cause she said that it is nice.
Any other nice drama that you guys want to recommend me? My life is currently so boring that only left drama, blogging and mobile legend 😂 (I am not a gaming person, but my friend convinced me to play ML and LOL with him)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Friends?
I am actually pretty looking forward to meet up with my friends. But some of them are having finals  :( .
I also wanted to plan a short trip with them but it's so hard. It is not that no one wants to plan it, but it is super hard to find days where all of us are free.


Blogging?
I am now working on some review posts. Hopefully I can post all of them as soon as possible.
Besides that, I have also filmed a beauty video, which I want to share with you guys. Hopefully it comes out good :D So subscribe to my Youtube Channel if you haven't and stay tuned ;)


Future ? Working ? Idk.
I still have no plan yet. But the only thing I know is that I wish I can work in the bank headquarter or maybe join the training program, which is really hard to go in. I didn't know that a lot of people wanting to join the training program and I feel so stress competing with them :O. 

Oh well, here I am joining the labor force and being unemployed.
Please employ me please xD



That's all for this post.
It is a very chill post, all about my life update to my fellow friends and followers. :)


Thanks for reading!



Love,
CLYL.

Hi guys, how's everyone doing?


It's SWOT (study without teaching) week in Monash. 
A lot of people don't understand why our finals are so early. Well, the reason is that Monash follows  Australians' time, and a lot of other Universities follow UK's time. When we are struggling for finals, some of my friends from universities like Utar, and Sunway are having their good time in university.


In the midst of rushing my final assignments, I volunteered myself to be a Buddy.
Buddy is actually a Peer Mentoring Program for the new intake students. Monash always has Buddies from every school (Business, Engineering, Art, and etc) around the campus for the first week to assist the new intakes. Anyone who has completed 1-2 semester in Monash is eligible to apply for the job.


So, Monash has a really weird timing for the new intakes, which is in October, where everyone is preparing for finals. When I signed up to become a buddy, I feel that I must be crazy, especially when I am in my last semester of university. If I ever fail any unit (*choi choi), I won't be able to graduate at the same time as my friends. Besides that, my parents will have to pay extra money, which is really expensive, for me to retake the unit. Oh noo... I can't imagine that  :O


But then, to become a buddy has been one of my To-Do-List in Unversity.
I listed down the benefits and drawbacks of joining the program and I realized that how much I want to be part of it. Worst come to worst, I will have to work even harder, no chillax time and more sleepless nights for my assignments and studies.


It is a brand new experience for me and I feel that besides spending time helping new intakes, I also get to know more people. Expanding my friend circle can be really hard to me because I always stick to the same group of people. TBH, I have a very shy personality (which my friends don't believe😂).




We have our first briefing session to guide us on what to do and not to do during the orientation. 
We also got our respective tasks, such as the administrative issues, parent info session, transition celebration and others. I am in the Student ID Photo session, helping students in id application.  For that session, we are only required to be there for 2 days (2 hours each), which I think is reasonable, cause I don't have to be there like 24hr. Unfortunately, I am only able to attend the first session, so I feel quite guilty for not able to help out the other day.


The most fun of being a buddy must be the CAMPUS TOUR! 
Ever since I attended the campus tour in my first year in Monash, I have been always wanted to be one of them to bring students around the campus. I am so weird, right? Can someone be "shy and outgoing" or/ "introvert and extrovert" at the same time? xD


During the campus tour, I actually bumped into my friends and she is like "shh.. don't tell them all the stuff, especially the secret places to study 😂". Oh mai, my friend, we are graduating soon, so why can't I share this with them? xD


Omg, this story is going longer and longer 😂.
I should stop here now and back to study.

Bye!



Love,
CLYL




Ps. I am grateful to be able to attend University and am proud to be a Monashian 💗

Hello.

It has been awhile since I talk about my university life.

*Sharing an embarrassing story*
I actually didn't know how to spell "Academy".
There is once, I helped my sister to fill in the details of her form. As you guys might not know, my sister is studying at The One Academy. When I was filling the education part, I wrote "The One Acadamy". Yup, Acadamy. Then, they laughed at me and I defended myself as it is reasonable for me not to know how to spell Academy correctly because I don't study in Academy, but university. lol.



Okay, enough of nonsense.

To update you guys, I am currently in my last semester and I actually took up Winter School during my 1-month break before my semester 2 starts.

Not going to lie, I failed a unit when I was exchanging in Melbourne.
Despite that, I never regret studying that semester at overseas. It just kind of prove that I am not capable enough, especially in multitasking. Like I can't play and work at the same time.

I was really sad and embarrassed at my result. But luckily I have really supportive families and friends. At least, I tried my best and my parents are really understanding. They knew how much effort I have put and my face (acnes and dark circles) showed them all.


So, how was Winter School?

It was a great experience having a class full of "ang mo". That made me thought that I was back in Melbourne again. The ambiance was different because everyone was so active in class and it kind of made the class more fun. Btw, I took up a super boring unit, which was corporate governance (law unit), during my winter school. Without them, I would have fallen asleep in class all time.

Long story short, I have not got my result yet, even though it is already 2 months since my final.
I am quite worried about that because I don't think that I did well in final >.< Law is never my kind of thing, even though it is an open book subject.  Luckily I didn't major in law, despite that I did think of majoring it before.

*Oh well, why am I repeating myself again? I actually dayred about my winter school before. Just that I wrote little by little everyday :P*
So for those who did not follow my Dayre, this is what had happened (kinda) during my winter class.



*Back to the topic.*

Final Year of University Life

It feels surreal to know that I am currently in my last semester. Even my friends and junior can't believe that I am in my last year. TQVM, I know I look young xD

Life still goes on. I am still stressing on my studies. Especially when all the assignments are up.
It is really difficult to maintain your studies and "blogger life" at the same time.
I wonder how people can manage it. Do they have superpower? :o
Oh yea, not forget to mention that I am also a committee of a club and I literally have 3 jobs (student, committee and blogger).

After a few years of "hard work", I started to attend events in early July. It's really annoying when some of the events are on weekdays and I really can't take the risk to skip any of my classes, especially when I am taking 3 Econometrics unit and BEX this sem. BEX is one of most "beneficial" unit that I have taken. I feel that it will be really useful for those who want to be entrepreneur or startup their own company, but it shouldn't be a core unit for business student :/.

Having so many jobs at the same time, I have to sacrifice some of the events and I feel really bad for posting my post late. The deeper the blogger career I going in, the more things I saw and realised.
It is not as easy/ fun as it seems.

I actually have a bucket list, which is able to experience being a Uni couple. lol.
I know it's lame but I love watching the drama which is about campus love. So this really makes me yearn on that kind of Uni life. I know I should stop watching drama and I always say that :P

BTW, I am currently looking for job in banking sector. I have applied 3 banks and 1 bank actually called me for interview. But I told them that I am more likely to go for interview after my finals.
Do you think that I have made a right decision? Or I should just go for it ? Hmm...


Lastly, I hope that everything goes well in my last semester of my Uni Life and
 I feel that I will miss Uni life so much T.T



Love,
CLYL.

SWOT week.
It's all about studying. 

Studying might not be the most entertaining thing to do, but that is what I should be doing now.
And I believe that it is much more better than working.

Finals is coming in less than 1 week and I must say that my examination timetable is pretty good.
At least I don't have to attend 2 papers back to back in a day.
I have friend who is in that kind of situation and I hope that she's coping her studies well.

Things have never been easy. 
We face different kind of challenges everyday.

It's just a progress.
A challenge that is given to make us stronger.

We, as a student always procrastinate in SWOT week because we feel that we have a lot of time to study. Okay, maybe I should not say we, but me myself ~ LOL

So to avoid that case, I plan my timetable ahead ! Like what to study for today, what to study for the other day ~ To be honest, it actually works though.

 I become more hard working and semangat because I set a goal for myself.
And what I have to do is just follow the plan and chase my dream ~

 I set my own rules like I have to finish a specific chapters in the day.
And if I didn't finish the part that I am supposed to do, I DON'T SLEEP !
Hahaha, so in order to get enough of sleep, I have to study accordingly.

It sounds hardcore though.
Actually it does and it works !

This is the best way to force someone like me to study and like to procrastinate.
And of course, you must have a stern determination ! Or not, nothing can be done.

I found out that why people don't like to study is because they don't understand the topic.
That's why people don't like to study. Okay, it's me, not everyone is the same ~

I found that I am interested in some of the units because I understand what the lecturer/tutor is saying. When it comes to a topic that I don't understand, I got space out super easily and it's really frustrating.

So to solve this question, having a consistent revision every week is the key!
I know it's really boring and sien, but trust me, you won't regret when it comes to final :)
When you have done it consistently for the past few weeks, the revised part will come into your brain naturally and you will no longer have to struggle.

To conclude this post, I must say that paying attention in class and understand what you have learnt and have a study plan play important part.

I am not the 4 straight kind of student, in fact I am very far from achieving it.
But I believe that if you study hard, even the result is not that great, at least you did your best. That is what you can say to yourself without any regret and guilt.



Ps, I just done my first paper and I am dead now :*


Thanks for reading !




Love,
CLYL

I have never attend this kind of forum in my life before.

I am really thankful JY who introduced MUIG to me.

I never thought of joining investemnt club or being a committee. I was once a very commitment and active member/ committee back in my high school. I wonder why I became less active and even lazy to join any club in my university.

I must be changed. :o


Last week, I was represented as sub committee of investment club to the booth in my campus. 
The booth is to gain awareness and tell people who are interested in working in banking and finance sector in the future. 

Surprisingly, we got a lot of attendance from Year 1 students and even students outside Monash University. This let me think what I have done during my Year 1, while others are so anticipated on joining this kind of meaningful forum ! 

To be honest, I enjoyed and learnt a lot in Monash Investment Group. 
I wish that I know there is this kind of club existed in Monash earlier. 

I attended their first event of the year, which is Discover MUIG.
It was a talk to give students some insights into the world of value investing, by Chern Hong, a value investor from 8I Education. It was a really interesting talk and I gained so much on that day.
The topic is just mind blowing ! I didn't know that we can be one of the many to earn 1M, starting with 5k.


Back to the forum

The speakers of the forum are Sylvia and Terence. They are really nice and helpful.
Sylvia is the managing director, head of financial markets Standard Chartered Bank Malaysia,
while Terence is a very successful young equity research analyst in Public Mutual Berhad.


At first, I thought that it will be a very boring and typical forum, but NO !
I have so much fun, laughing and gaining knowledge at the same time. 
 The forum turned out really good and the team got a lot of good feedback from the participants.
Indeed, the forum is a success. 


Let me share with you guys one of the funny incident happened on that day.
I was in-charged in keeping the time(aka time keeper) with another girl. 
My job is basically to make sure that the event go smoothly, according to the plan.
So, I am supposed to raise an A4 paper of "3" and "5", to hint the moderator that the speaker has already spoke for more than 3/5 minutes for each question that has been asked.

Of course, we are not trying to be rude to stop the speaker from speaking too much.
But to tell the moderator that we have not much time left for next question.
I feel that the forum is too short, as it only held for 1.25 hour.
All of us enjoyed so much and we wish that the forum can be longer.

And then Sylvia saw it and she knew what the papers actually meant !
I was damn embarrassed when she look and nodded at me.
And then the next thing she said was " I know we are running out of time, because this girl in front of me keep raising the paper up, but I am just going to simplify and make it short"
And then everyone laughed. Probably laughing at my clumsiness :P

My inner voice was  like " Oh shyt, she knew it !" I feel that I am damn rude and I don't know whether to continue raising the paper. The papers were actually meant to alert the moderator not the speaker.

After the forum, I quickly went in front and apology to Sylvia for interrupting her and making her uncomfortable. Because I look like I am rushing them, while they made an effort to come to Monash!
Fortunately, she said that she's just joking and trying to make the forum lively.

Phiuh *release*


Dinner is served when we came out of the hall.
Food is provided and it's really good.
They have aglio olio ham, potato egg, salad, chicken wrap and their highlight BROWNIE ! 
Mai god,  so nice <3 

Oh btw, check out the video that the MUIG IT team did ! 
It is really amazing for a student, who do it for the first time :)

Selfie with my MUIG t :)

There will be more events coming out in MUIG and I can't wait to be part of it.
BTW, you can always check their FB for more info and upcoming events if you're interested. 


Thanks for reading !

Time management plays an important role in our everyday life. 

Of course, stress management is also one of the quality that we must have, living in this hectic world. 
Everything is moving so rapidly. Even though Malaysia is still far from those developed countries. 
I must say that I am glad that Malaysia is a country that has a lot of resources, 
which helped the country to grow.

Back to the topic.

We learned time management since we are young.
For example, we are supposed to finish our homework, given a period of time.
Without time management, we won't be able to get anything done.

Undeniable, there are people who can manage their time well, while some struggle.
I believe that I manage my time pretty good, as I always set a time for myself to finish certain work.
I did struggle sometimes when all the works came in a bundle.

Specifically, it's week 6 and it means half of my semester has gone.
It is one of the busiest week in every of my semester. 
I have 2 assignment due, 2 quiz, and club meetings and activities to attend in 2 weeks. 
I know that some people probably have more hectic week(s) than me, but I am glad that
 I still get to find some time for entertainments.

I do have to wake up really early and sleep late to finish my assignments and revisions, 
but what I am trying to say is that I am still living a good life.

Everyone is given 24 hours a day and sometimes I wonder, why they are more successful, 
why they have more time than me and why they can do so many things in a day?

The answer to it is efficiency.

Procrastination and Efficiency is just separated by a line.
And that line is called management.

Why do I say so?

I feel that a good management make you fully utilized your time, and boost efficiency.
Without management, you will procrastinate and do things that are not useful to you.

Of course, having entertainment is also part of the management. 
Sometimes a proportion of entertains make things work more effectively.

Also, I am not saying that we have to plan everything out ahead and just follow it one by one.
There are always unforeseen circumstances happening everyday, just like I didn't plan to write a blogpost today but I did.  

But, live your life to its fullest.
And make sure you live a life that won't make you regret.
What is more meaningful when you have less regrets than other people do?


Thanks for reading !

CLYL

It is like a never ending topic for me, as I have already written so many posts regarding my life and thoughts studying abroad in Melbourne. I have written what I love about Australia, what I dislike and also what are the differences between the 2 countries and differences studying abroad and home.

Here is my highly requested questions after I shared my Melbourne videos on Youtube.
They asked me things about exchange student program and also what to expect studying abroad.
So, now let me share with you my experience from getting the offer letter from Monash Melbourne to what I feel about Melbourne. Also you can check my previous posts to know it better ;)

In most of my post, I have stated that I love Melbourne because it is a wonderful country.

But before you decide whether to study abroad, you have to make sure that you got your support to study oversea, regardless where the place is. Because the expenses that you will be facing is going to be more than what you have spent in your home. Also, your physical and mental health must be good to be capable to take care of yourself, face loneliness and settle everything by yourself.


There is a lot of steps and works to be done to study abroad. It was my first time going so far away from home and it was still like a dream for me. I have grown a lot in that 5 months and it was indeed the best 5 months last year. I have gone through a lot of things and it was a whole new experience, adventure for me. I appreciated every moments. 




Every school's procedures are different and this is what my school need us to do.

First of all, you will have to attend the exchange/transfer briefing session to roughly know what you will need to do and stuff. It is compulsory to check the requirement for each faculty's to study oversea because the requirements differ for every faculty.

After knowing the requirement, we got the aboard application form from school and fill in our study plan. It is a SUPER important procedure, as the unit that we choose for the semester cannot be changed. We have to check whether the units are available over the campus that you're going to study over there. Make sure to apply it 1 semester ahead.

After that I received my Student Acceptance Form Intercampus Exchange from Monash Abroad Staff. Before you receive you Confirmation of Enrollment (COE) to study oversea, you will have to buy the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), which is different from your travel insurance.
I sent my Acceptance Form and OSHC receipt back within 7 days,
 so that they can issue my COE. I bought my 1 semester OSHC for AUD412 at that time.

After my COE is issued, I used my COE code to buy my Higher Education Sector visa (subclass 573), which is AUD 556. I heard my friend said that they are no longer using subclass 573, so it is better to follow the subclass that your school asked for.

I went to body checkup (RM250), as the visa required.
After the visa is approved, it is time to to travel insurance (I bought AIG- RM388), flight ticket that my school provided. I sat Emirates to Mel and Mars back and it cost me RM2760.

After all the above things are settled, then only find rental. I used websites like gumtree and flatmates. I believe that your school might help you if you can't get a rental, or you can as well just stay in campus.

Last but not least, confirm the units that you are going to enroll and make sure you paid your school fees before you off. For my school, they helped us to enroll the units that I have applied at the first place. So it is really important to know what to take at the first place. I paid my school fees in MYR because I am still considered as Malaysia student, and I am just exchanging to Australia for 1 semester. For those who are transferred to there, they have to pay their fees in AUD.

Before you leave home, 
It is important to get an airport pickup, in case there is no taxi on your arrival. Monash prepared Allied Car for us, which is really thoughtful.
Download the apps that are useful for you when you reached the country.


At your arrival, it is important to get a local number and bank account and Public Transport card.

Let me share with you what to expect in Melbourne, a really wonderful country. It is really common to know that Melbourne has a very relaxing lifestyle. Shops close very early, transport is very convenient and people are very friendly as well.

You do not have to worry about the food, because you can find numerous cuisine in the city, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai food, all ranged from $15-30. Of course, most of the foods in Melbourne are super nice. You can simply hop into any restaurant. If you want to save money, it is better to cook at home. There are supermarkets, such as Coles and Woolworths, everywhere. If you wish to get some Chinese groceries, you can head to HongKong Mart, which is located near Clayton station.

I spent around $10k + for the 5 months, including traveling around. You can consider working part time over there as the pay is pretty attractive.


BTW, if you are coming back earlier before your OSHC expired, please go and request a refund from them :) You will eventually get back $100+ of refund.
And also, don't forget to close your bank account :)



Hopefully this will be helpful and give a rough guide for those who are applying to go Australia study like me :)



Love,
CLYL.

Studying abroad is always one of my dreams. I wanted to show that I am capable to do things by myself.
Indeed, it is more challenging than studying in your home country. Besides all the house cores, you will also need to get used to the culture, the food, the people over there. 

You will have to deal with the difference, besides that let me tell you what is so different studying in Monash Australia and Malaysia.



1. Activities

Monash Australia has more events and activities in school. There is so many free food and fun activities that I can join compared to Monash Malaysia. Check out what I did in Student Survival Week and Stress Less Week that MONSU organised :)

I am really glad that I have volunteered myself to join the voluntary work that MONSU is holding. The experiences that I have gained are so priceless and I hope that Monash Malaysia will have this kind voluntary work. Joining the work, I got to meet a lof of people from different country, and I also got to learn how an organisation/ activities work. I believe that this will definitely somehow helped me in my future. 


2. Culture

The accent ! It actually got me some time to use to their accent. I know that different countries have their own different accents, and of course, Malaysians have their own unique accent and slang that only Malaysians will understand. 

The teaching method is almost the same as what I learnt in Malaysia. I am not sure about other universities, but the teaching method in Monash Australia is same as Monash Malaysia. There might be some differences in the teaching materials, but the way they bring things up and assign assignments are almost the same. There's an Australian tutor, where I always have to pay extra attention on what he's talking about. After a few classes with him, I actually got used to his accent and everything turned out good to me. 


3. People

What I am really surprised is that there's A LOT of ASIANS in Monash University Caulfield campus, including Chinese, Malaysian and South African ! I always have a dream of studying at western country, surrounded by the white people. But the reality is, still surrounded by the Asians. xD

To my surprise, some of them have stayed in Australia for a few years and they have already adapted to the culture. Some of the the Chinese even speak better English than me, with the Australian accent! So, don't judge people by their look and think that they can only speak good mandarin. There is also people who speaks mandarin wherever they go. I have met some of them, thought that I came from China as well, because of the way I look. But after knowing me, they're surprised because being a Malaysian, we know more than 3 languages, including dialects. 

I must say, it is pretty awesome to be surrounded by all kind of people. 


4. Weather

Seasons. Even when the forecast weather said that it will be sunny the whole day. You still have to bring jacket out because you don't know when the wind is coming ! People normally wear jackets in the lecture (what Malaysian always do) because the air-cond is pretty strong. 

But guess what ? People take off their jacket when they're in lecture hall in Australia! There is no aircond in lecture hall Monash Aus during winter and spring (I am not sure about autumn), but it is cozy. Out the lecture hall, it will be chilly and freezing if you don't wear jackets.

Their spring is almost the same as their winter some days. Maybe a little better in spring. 



Love, 
CLYL.

Life. What's life?

It's a hard question, isn't it?

According to Google, life is defined as existence of an individual living being.

Some people define life as to be able to do things that they want, living a life that they're yearning.
Some people think that to be successful is living a life.
Some people think that life is just a cycle, they eat, sleep, play, study, get married and grow old.

Everyone can live the life that they want.

What's life for me? I think I exist in this world because of my parents.
They made me. I am just another human being living in the earth.

Some people think that life is to keep learning.

I always feel that I have learnt nothing.

That is why I am always so loss.

What is so good about this world?
Without the love that my family and friends have gave me, I think I am just no one.

I always hate examinations. Because I can't score well.
I know I should go and study and not whining over here.

My friend once asked me, "since you hate studying and memorizing those "dead reading" (死读) stuff, why am I taking business and not art?"

This let me think for a while. WHY?
Maybe it's because I have never resist Business and I thought that I can work it out.

 Sometimes I tend to stop doing something when it doesn't work out for me.
I always judged it too fast or....

 I actually never put my heart in doing it?
That's why I don't enjoy doing it?

Sometimes, I am quite disappointed on myself.
Cheryl is still the old Cheryl. Never grow up even after so many years.

Always ask myself to work harder to achieve things that I want.
But that's just running in my brain.

In all honesty, I am just a lazy person, who like to find excuses.
Who's lazy to put heart in learning.

To follow your heart or brain?
Let's see who's stronger.

Hopefully writing all this out make my head clearer.
Instead of just thinking and do nothing good, I should go now.



The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched.
They must be felt within the heart.    ~ Helen Keller~

I've been questioning myself these questions "Is this what I want?", "Am I choosing the right path?"

The feeling grows stronger when I was having my examinations. Is it a normal symptoms ?
Do people doubt about their choices and decisions when they are facing problems and difficulties?

I know that one day, I will be able to smile at myself that all this works are actually nothing compared to now. Just like the current me who's smiling at the past me, thinking that SPM was actually nothing.

I really envious those people who know what their dreams are.
They are so sure about what they want and what they don't.
How can they even so sure?

People always ask me to pursue things that I want, or things that I enjoy doing. 
But what do I really want?
I don't know.

Maybe I don't know myself well enough.
That's why I am always confused and having hard time to decide. 
But if I don't know myself well, who will? 

 I feel like I am a lost bird, don't know where to fly to.
Finding my next destination without Waze.
Still finding a comfortable place to build a house and continue my life.

I am always in my comfort zone when I was in high school.
I though that I will eventually figure out what I want after I graduate.

When I was in kindergarten, I don't make decision, because my mom will.
When I was in primary school, I don't make decision either, because I know that I am going to the same high school with my sister.
When I was in high school, there is one small decision for me to do. Which is to study science stream or art stream. Guess what I choose? I choose sub-science, which is like half science and half art.
Because I don't know what to study so I simply choose and go in the class that the school allocated me.

Then what's next? College. Mom helped me to do the decision. "Kinda"
I wanted to study hospitality at first because I think that's interesting. But my mom convinced me to study business instead. So yea, here I am studying business.
I wanted to study at Sunway because I have more friends there but I ended up studying at Monash because mom said that the university is more popular and better.
I took my mom's advice. Because mom is always right :)

I didn't blame her for asking me to study business, because I am not persistence enough.
I followed what my mom told me to do. She didn't force me to choose business, instead she let me to choose, and I accepted her proposal. So, it's not her fault for wanting me to study business.

No one can really do the decision for me because it's my own life.
Mom doesn't because she doesn't want me to regret for choosing things that I don't like.
If I choose the path myself, I have no one to blame, besides myself.

When people complain about their work is hard, and saying that they're enjoying doing those work at the same time, I am confused.
I don't know what does it mean.

Why do people enjoy doing hard work? 

That's the dream that they want, they will say. They said that they are willing to sacrifice for their dream. 
And I think that it's beautiful to have a dream.
They don't give up easily even when they feel discouraged.
How can they do it?

I am jealous those who have dream.
 I hope that I can feel the same way like them one day.

I am just a lost bird, still finding my dream.


Love,
CLYL.

What it's already week 12? 

OMG But I am not ready for SWOT week and exams >.<

I had my last day of school on Thursday, and it ended quite well. 
As I had a lot of fun with my friends, whose birthday is on that day! 
So after my class, I went to find an empty room for the little surprise.
The surprise is a success, and I am glad that she enjoyed her day, just like me :)
Later on, we went to Sushi Zanmai at Pyramid for dinner and llao llao for dessert <3 

On my last week of semester 3 (aka Year2 semester 1), nothing went abnormal, it's just another normal school day for me. Go to class, have lunch with a bunch of friends, and go home. Without any of my conscious, the day has came and it's time to say bye-bye to my "friends" and lecturers, who I only talk in that semester.  

It's weird how they became my "Hi-Bye" friends so quickly, while we're still so closed to each other last semester. It is very hard to have a close friends who you will keep on contact, no matter what course/ university you're studying. It's like a routine for me every semester: school starts, makes new friends, study together, school ends, bye-bye, and make new friends again when school starts.

So, I really appreciate those who take the effort on making the friendship last longer, cause I am not good in lasting a friendship. Like I can't simply start a conversation with my friends, even when I want to. I just don't know what to say. So, I am really thankful for those who find a topic and start the conversation first, to avoid the awkwardness.

I am not that kind of person will randomly say hi to my friends in whatsapp and ask what they've gone through, how's their life and stuff.
I will only start a conversation with them when I need help o.o 

If you ask me "Are you ready for the next semester?" 

A big NO for you :/

I am already not ready for exams, how am I supposed to be ready for next semester? 
Even though I am quite excited that I will be going to study at another country next semester la. 

Studying is always not my cup of tea. I don't enjoy studying, but I enjoy knowing those knowledge.
 You know what I mean? Like I don't like to memorize thing, I prefer understanding more. 
But studying is like memorizing the whole syllabus, and vomit all you've memorized and put them in the examination paper. I just can't memorize (or I should say I hate memorizing).

Well, it's kind of too late to say I hate what I am studying now. 
Maybe not hate, but not enjoy? Looking at my sister's work, playing with Adobe and art, I kind of regret what I am studying now. But, Business is what I have chosen :| 
I just have to try my best to enjoy it and score well.

How's my last week of semester 3? 

Good :)


Love,
CLYL

What? Mid Sem break after 4 weeks of classes?
My friends were like, "I thought you just started school?"

Hahaha yea. It's true that I just started school and now I am "enjoy"ing my semester break.
 We actually have 12 weeks of classes for this semester, which is like DAMN short. 

Don't know how am I able to finish all 3 thick books of mine within 12 weeks.
There're like 500-700 pages :/ How am I going to cope with it ? 

My friends and I actually wanted to go Penang for a 2 days 1 night trip during semester break.
But it looks like we've to change our plan.

Thanks to all our beloved lecturers and tutors, who give us so much work ! 
It's no longer like a break, but a SWOT week (Revision week) x|

I have to spend my whole week preparing for the test/quiz and assignment, which are due next week.
But I guess I won't have enough time though. Even if you give me one more week to study.
Because I won't spend my WHOLE day reading ! I might go crazy >.<
And I like to procrastinate >.<


They said that the second year of uni life is the most difficult year, compared with first and last year.
If you can handle your second year well, you don't have to worry about your last year d :O
But what if ...(haiz don't want to think about what if le>.<)

I always envy those people who got good result. I seriously don't understand how can they have such packed schedule ? They work/study from morning to night and they even have social life.
I don't think that they're human lor 0.0


I think the first one is me :|
(I think I should cut down my social life :(-- stop scrolling insta, fb and youtube videos)

I've tried to write a resume for my intern this year, but then I found that I don't have any achievement or working experience at all. I do work part time job, but they're irrelevant to the job that I want to intern. Oh my, what should I do? Suddenly think that I've been living so lifeless.

Oh well :\

I am just going to do my best, even though I know that I far away from my dream result.

Always give your best. Failures can be painful, but regrets will haunt you for life.


2nd Year of my Uni Life ... Jia You ! 



Love, 
CLYL.

"Eh, your uni friends very YOLO hor?", said one of my friends.

Yeah.... They are. xD

Most of our plans are super last minute one.
We always discuss about the details the day before the outing. Like always ~
I always like to have things planned out nicely, but with them, I changed :B

The most YOLO thing that we've done so far, must be the Malacca trip that we've gone few weeks ago. I've never gone outstation with my friends so last minute. When I told my parents that I am going to Malacca the night before the trip, my parents was like "Huh? Why so last minute?"

But, luckily I've good parents. LOL
Because I told them that it's going to be a one day trip. Plus Malacca is my 2nd hometown.
So my parents actually didn't say much la :)

So there goes my journey with the gang~
It's actually a small gang, which consists of 6 people.
We went to Sekeping Serendah, Ipoh, and this time we went to Malacca :D

I don't know why the group always short of 1 people ~


Throwback to 2014 xD 

Short of Wai Heng~ I think he haven't joined us when we went to Sekeping Serendah.


Throwback to 2015- groupfie with the ipoh mural art wall :)

Short of Jason ~ Why he didn't join us ah?
I forgot d. But he FFK-ed us :(


Throwback to few weeks ago ~

6 people ended up 4 people going only xD
I must say, 4 of us are the most YOLO one :P Cause we people awesome ~
We didn't even plan where to go when I reached Malacca.

It's a very chillax trip, we just go by the feel. Like when we're hungry, we just went to the restaurant that's nearby. When we're thirsty, we just went in the shop and have our dessert. When we're bored, we took selfie. When we're fed-up of the sun, we went to shopping mall ~

Didn't plan anything, but the trip still went very well ;D (Surprisingly)
I think the main reason why the trip went so well is because we people know how to enjoy ourselves. We got happy so easily and had fun of everything. Even the sun/rain can't stop us :P
Furthermore, Malacca has everything that we wanted (the food & the attractions)

#FriendshipGoal To go around Malaysia and explore every corner of this beautiful country that we lived. I am not sure when or where's our next vacation, but I am already looking forward it :)


Throwback to few days ago

This is not a trip, but an outing that we've plan. Yea, the day before the outing AGAIN xD
Damn last minute sia ~ 
Because all of us has been majoring in different thing, we only get to see each other once in a while in school. So, we thought of a resolution. To have an outing every month.

Yay~ Explore all the cafes and get bankrupt LOL :P

Because Jason keep FFK us, therefore we decided to have this #hashtag thing. 
If he FFK us next time, we're just going to keep this hashtag going and discriminate him :P 


The Yolo Gang, my uni friends :)
Thanks for being in my uni life ~

What is the most YOLO thing that you've done so far? Share with me :)

Love,
CLYL.



(Wondering whether I should blog about the Malacca trip or no. But I've short of photos :/)

My first week of uni has gone ? OMG
How did it happen? 

The first thing I remember was driving in the car to go to school.
And the last thing I remember was driving back from the school xD 

I can't really remember what I've don't during that week. 
Except driving and chit chat with my friends. 
Did the lecturer taught anything yet? 

Erm probably yes. But what did they teach?
I don't know :O 

First week of school after a long term break is always like this. 
Don't you agree? I always get very blur on the first week of class. 
Like I don't know what to do/ bring to school. 

So, a note book and a pen are what I've brought to school for the past week. 
In case you didn't follow my dayre, you might not know what 've happened. 
So I am going to write it here, for a clearer look.
It's also easier for me when I wanted to look back my Uni Life xD


Day 1

Everything went smoothly, except that I struggled to wake up early. 
And this resulted me to face the traffic jam.
I only woke up when my alarm rang the third time LOL
But luckily I am not late for class la :)

Then celebrated my friend's belated birthday at After Black.
And second round with my ex-collouege at Loud Speaker Karaoke.
Reached home around 10pm, and I almost forgot that my holidays had ended xP

Day 2 

Blur case happened. 

Didn't check my moodle and went for my tutorial class. 
Class was actually canceled, and I didn't know it until I reached school early in the morning :/
Slides was printed out, and I've nothing to do :3 
Friends didn't come to school because they didn't have class on Tuesday. 
What I can do is, wait the time to pass, then I can go for my next class.

Yay ! found a new friend, who's majoring the same units as me. 
It's super rare to find someone majoring in econometrics. 
I am lucky to finally find someone, who's majoring the same as me :)

Day 3


The traffic is super bad ! I shouldn't wake up so late T.T

What !?
3 lectures in one day? OMG 
No time for lunch ? Kill me please~ 

Wait ...
Lecturer is not coming? 
Okay the lecturer just FFK us. 
But yay ~ I can go back earlier :D 


Day 4

Blur case happened again :/

Class was canceled again and I didn't know. 
Some more I blamed my friend for not telling me and disturbed him when he's asleep. 
Omg, sorry friend ~ 

I also passed my Intercampus Exchange Program application form to the school.
Hope that they approved it fast, so that I won't have to worry so much about it  :)


No school on Friday. It's an off day ~ :D 

So there goes my first week of semester 3 

Boring right ? hahaha

Oh well, hope that next following weeks will be okay and more interesting :)



Love, 
CLYL
