Kalau bukan tentang bibir dia, mesti tentang kerja amal. If not because of her lips, it must be because of the many charity works that she has done.  I feel like Angelina Jolie.  For the second reason, though. I don't have lips like those... Well recently, I volunteered for WWF Malaysia (World Wide Fund for Nature). They were having an outreach for Orang Asli @ indigenous people in Malaysia and needed volunteers to assist them. I must say I'm not a newbie in volunteering but it was my first time volunteering for WWF. I've volunteered twice for MYCAT (Malaysian Conservation Alliance for Tigers) before. So basically, I've volunteered only 3 times. Not Angelina Jolie enough, huh? Hahah... Unlike the outreaches conducted by MYCAT, this one by WWF was a tad different. Instead of approaching locals to give awareness on the wildlife, WWF organized an event for them while at the same time give awareness to them on the wildlife. A bigger challeng...

I've always been the big sister, the kakak.  I'm always the one who have to take care of, not the one to be taken care of. I have one elder brother and a younger brother. Squashed in the middle, I held a bigger responsibility as the elder sister compared to the younger sister. However, things were different during this one volunteer program I joined recently. I wasn't the youngest in the group, neither was I the eldest. Let's just say I'm the third youngest in the group. But, somehow they actually treated me like I'm the youngest, the one they have to really take care of. They always said I'm still a kid. Just because I told them the first night at the hotel I actually turned on all the lights because I was scared of sleeping alone (the tv was on the whole night, too). It's a weird feeling. I feel young, though. Ha-ha.

I have a problem of letting go of things. Suka sangat menyimpan barang-barang lama... I still have my assignments during diploma days, in which I already graduated from 2 years ago. Yes, I'm pursuing a degree now but this degree is a new field. A totally different field... I still have a folder in my laptop written 'DIPLOMA IN TOURISM MANAGEMENT'. I've decided to clean it up but I couldn't bring myself to clean it ALL up. It's taking a lot of disk space, I know... But it's just so hard to let go. I'm the type who like to reflect back at the old times. I like to look back and remind myself of the good ol' days. Sometimes for hours... And this is not good. Not good, I know. I'm actually detaching myself from the present, and even future. We should think forward, and reflect back now and then to remind us. Not look back and stay there, like what I'm doing now. So hereby I'm declaring that I'm deleting the diploma folder. But I...

(Leaving the examination hall early) 5 years studying in university, I admit to leaving the examination hall early before time; not more than 5 times. But I admit to taking a nap during the examination quite a lot of times; more than 5 times. I don't know about you, but for most of my friends, and I, we would look up at those who leave the examination early. Like, "Hebat gila keluar awal.... Perggh!"  (toleh-toleh kepala ke belakang merelakan pemergian si hero/ heroin exam) Well, basically because you must be very confident of your answers, right? Right.  My teacher always advice us, back in the school days. Don't leave the exam hall before time. Always check, and check, and check your answers. And I believe in that. Because we are just human and human makes mistakes.  I certainly have no problem with these early leavers, except that I kind of got a bit psyched and annoyed when loads and loads of them started leaving. I'd think "Do I look st...

I received a mere pat on my shoulder by this one lecturer. When I first met her during our first class a few semesters back, I must say things didn't really start off nicely. Unlike most of us, I did a diploma in tourism before going for a degree in sports science. And this lecturer remembers me for that. She referred me as the tourism kid. And yes, once the lecturer know you, they will mark you. Mark, and pinpoint you. I'm sure all of you are aware that us tourism just don't learn about the energy system, ATP-PC, enzymes, and all those biological stuff. Well, she said that. And I felt humiliated and oh-so-down. Yes, us tourism don't learn those things but I'm here so instead of looking down at me why don't you support me??? She would always ask if I could understand the subject, because according to her tourism don't learn about these...  I have other friends who are in the same boat as I am; fine art, mass communication, IT. She would go, "Where...

My female cat who is only a few months old is in risk of getting pregnant! Her name's Dompok. The name's quite ugly and a bit kampung -ish but trust me, she had long and fluffy furs just like those RM 3 000 worth cats. People wouldn't believe her mother is really her mother because the mother didn't have long and fluffy furs. We're just lucky, I guess. To get a RM 3000-worth looking cat. And I just have to name her Dompok. Hahahah.... Wanted to call her 'fluffy' but then it just sounded so spit -ful. Try saying 'fluffy, fluffy, fluffy...' See? The screen's splattered with spit already. Haha... The pedophile is my other cat, who is actually her uncle. The mother's brother. The male cat didn't have long and fluffy furs like her. So I thought no way, no way! I want her to be with the neighbour's cat, Muizah, who have long and fluffy furs like her. Baru setaraf.  Besides, she still haven't reach a year yet! And she's too sm...

*To fly high you need tough wings* I'm feeling a bit pressured here. It seemed that everyone believe I could achieve anything, no matter how hard it is. hoi. I'm a normal human being... My supervisor said my research has the chance to receive a grant. And so despite having to complete 2 assignments, 1 test, and 6 final papers coming up, I now have to prepare a research grant application. I don't think any undergrad students have ever received a research grant. RESEARCH GRANT.  For undergrads. Come on... Like, you don't even own a degree yet and you're asking for a grant? This is your FIRST TIME doing research and you're asking people to actually trust you until the extend of sponsoring it? Aiya... AND... My mum and younger brother are actually planning to follow me to Australia. Like going to Australia is already confirmed. I planned on pursuing Masters in Aussie. Well, like I said. Apparently they believe I can do it. I only have a huge passion in a...
