from 2012 to 2013 :)

Good bye 2012, Good bye Sem 2
Hello 2013, Hello Sem 3 :)

So i've finished my finals just yesterday at 7pm.

a special shout out to Jean wern and her mama!
thanks for fetchnig me home for the past few days!
i REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate it! <3 :=":">

so right after exams, i originally had no plans regarding the new year eve's thing
and then suddenly, i was invited to a 'steamboat party' at jean's house
initially i was in a 'muddle' because i thought my mum would get mad
cause she already cooked dinner x)
but then she wasnt.. and approve it :'D

so i DID went to jean's lair and ate steamboat with her family
and also her sister's friends
it was a whole lotta food
with jelly and fruit punch thing..
thanks jean wern! C:

also seen jean's doggies..
they're cute but sorry..
im not so keen about a dog licking/jumping on me x)

then we watch movie..
was watching cabin in the wood halfway
but the subtitles failed
so we switched to even scarier movie called
'Stephen King's bag of Bones'
apparently it was scarier
other than the good sound effects creating a surprise and the fairly horrible looking 'ghosts/monster'
its an interesting story! :)
about an author name Michael Noonan and the story of his dead wife, Jo
and some other things which i have YET to watch :)

it wasnt all too scary because i grew a better tolerance towards horror stuff
ever since i started slenderman or watching my friends play The House 2

so since i didnt manage to finish watching part 2 of it
since my parents wanted to last minute go to sungai wang to countdown
im now downloading it and planning to watch it soon heh! C:
kinda curious to know how the stories go!

so in the end, i got home
went sungai wang, count down
watch the fireworks and got home
so basically i was away from home since 1pm (to go to uni to revise with shyuan)
till 12.30am +  (after counting down at sungai wang)

idk why but its the 2nd time i watch fireworks up close
i always end up tearing up due to a sudden surge of feelings
because its like.. it marks the end of a year
and a beginning of another
idk why but its the second time i teared up haha x)
excuse the the sentiment.. its chi yan x)

so anyway, regarding my sem 2 final exams
heres my personal targets:
 Academic English  A-
Effective Communication Skills  A
Marketing  A-
Microeconomics and Macroeconomics  A
Socialization as a Process  A-
 
at this point, a B, even a B+ will be a disappointment to me
because i really poured a lot of effort in this time :/
however, an A+ would be a bonus :'D
 
I would still be fine if my A-targeted subjects becomes A-
but of course, who wouldnt wanna achieve their targets? :')
but i really pray hard for my sociology and english..
english has always been a barrier since its SO academic..
(yes this is coming from a UTAR student who speak,write,read ENGLISH)

as for sociology i screwed it up ):
how can a student who scored 46/50 for mid terms know so little during finals??
i feel like a disappointment to myself for that..
im just gonna pray hard ><

so.. will update when my results is out ;D

and since i've already thank people i wanna thank few posts back...
so how about a little summary of my 2012? :)

2012
so right after i finished my SPM
i was a lost soul, not knowing where to go, not knowing where to study, not knowing what to do..
so right after SPM, went for few family trips, stayed at home and chillax for a month or so
hoping maybe i get to go for National Service(NS) and get done with it and start studying

turns out I wasnt in the first batch of NS ..
so... i decided to work...

i've considered becoming tuition teacher, kindergarten assistant, student assistant, waitress etc.
turns out it was quite inconvenient for me to travel all over the place so i had to choose somewhere nearby

went for a job interview in a kindergarten,
the headmistress there really liked me, but she needed a long term commitment, maybe until May?
it was January that time and i still didnt know whether i would be chosen for NS Batch 2
so, i kinda rejected the offer
PLUS, i saw the workers there, i can see they're all 30 years above? :/
my interpretation?
Boring job x)

a student assitant eh?
well, they were satisfied with my capability (SPM trial results.. not SPM x) )
but.. they were offering a low pay and they only need me to work few hours per day
which would bind/stop me frmo doing other jobs
and also they needed me to speak in chinese mostly (which is uncomfortable for me but never a problem)
so it wasnt quite worth it x)
(might consider working here during degree/sem 3 if i have the time since the working hours are short xD)

so in the end, i applied for a job as a cashier at The Store, Sri Petaling
worked there for about 3 whole months..
my colleagues and senior are pretty nice people
so i could say, i was enjoying my work :)
though there are still nasty customers
who just blast off at you because they dont understand whats going on
haha.. but oh well, the world is round,
theres all sorts of people in the world u see x)

so after i worked for 3 months,
i took my driving lesson/license...
failed once because i got 'accused' by the JPJ officer
it was all a f*cked up situation which i already blogged about before i think x)
but in the end, i still got it C:

though i havent been driving a lot lately,
i can drive and all, but my skills are still 'shaky' and unstable and definitely... slow.
so please do not expect a ride from me yet ><
maybe next time? i'll let you know when im ready :'D

so until i stopped working
my father was pressuring me to go for medical courses
like pharmacist
he was so enthusiatic about it
and then i just told him i didnt like pharmacist
and well huge family issue thing x)

so in the end after allllllllll the dilemma and drama
i chose to do Corporate Communications in UTAR
where i still can satisfy my parents (who want me to go for Business field in the end)
where i still can make myself happy (who want to go into Journalism field :) )

lets just keep it a secret okay? :)

so its been about 6 months im in UTAR now

well... lets be honest..i firstly had a group of close friends
and in a sudden wind of change, many things happened
lets just say.. 'unhappy' things..

and i kinda 'switched' group and found a better group of friends
which i always mention :P
so there is no need for me to mention them now :P

they had been awesome part of my uni life
and i really dont think i can live my uni life without them :)
now that we're done with sem 2 and with sem 3 coming our way

it just really means we're gonna 'separate' so soon..
well because we're not exactly all in the 1 same degree course :/
but i'll just appreciate what i have with them for now
1 more sem to love them more :')

well.. i dont have as much photos as i have during sem 1
because now i have a lot of videos of the stupid things we do during our free time x)

haha...

im not used to writing resolutions..
so im not gonna write anything
just go with the flow~
and 'fulfill' my short term goals instead :'D

so 2013..
so far nothing much... x)
i didnt really have time to think about it
since my finals was until the last few hours of the last day of 2012
didnt time to bother about anything but studies x)
but i guess it went well..(hoepfully)

looking forward to PMP Jan Intake :)
am currently the marketing manager for the event as well as a mentor
cant wait to share my experiences.. x)

so now that i have 2 weeks of sem break
time to take a break!

for skyrim! C:
FUS RO DAH!
