Going back to UM

i'm going back to uni for research work on Monday. Decided last night. Prof. Ngiao, a lecturer in our dental faculty, is going to retire soon. Before she leaves, she'd like to make one last contribution to our faculty, as well as the univeristy. This research is about the Microleakage of Gloves. We'll investigate on the effects on the microstructure of gloves after being washed by using detergent. This is important as most of the lecturers, especially for clinical year students, wash their hands (with gloves on) using detergent after inspecting a cubicle, and before moving on to the next cubicle, as each inspection takes only a few minutes.
I'm returning home by the 25th of May as i'll be leaving home on the 27th to Redang Island, and then to Kedah to visit my maternal grandma and relatives there, together with my family members.

Part-time Job, anyone?

i'm very bored at home... does anyone know any place who offers part-time job? hmm... i think it's kinda hard for me to get a job as i won't be around in Batu Pahat during school holidays. i'll be going to Lang Tengah Island near Redang Island in Terengganu, with my family. After that, we'll be heading to Kedah to visit my maternal grandmother and some relatives there. it's impossible for me to work part-time and take a 2-week leave! :)
i'm very glad to have passed my first-year BDS professional exam... i'm going to be a senior soon! yeah~ it's been less than a year since i started my BDS programme at UM!
went yum cha with my secondary schoolmates yesterday... we spent the whole afternoon chatting... one of my friends is selling RHB bank credit cards while waiting to enter uni in July, and earning quite a lot! many of my friends who are STPM leavers are working now till July... i wish all of them good luck in securing a place in public uni!
there's no wireless connection these few days at home, so i've been using dial-up connection. it's a bit slow but much more stable than wireless connection.

Hols till July

i've recently completed my 1st yr undergraduate studies :) hooray!! time passed so fast.. a year ago, i was still a matric leaver doing nothing at home, waiting to enter uni... now i'm waiting for my final exam results... well, i'm still stuck here at UM 'cause i've to wait to check whether i'm on the viva voce list before i can go home.. viva voce, meaning an oral test to prove your knowledge, i suppose? it's a list of 2 categories: distinction category for those who've obtained an A (>70%) for a particular subject, and those who passed can get an A+ for that subject, if not, you still get your A; borderline category for those who've obtained a D (45-49%), if passed, you'll get a C and continue your studies in 2nd yr (or the following academic year), if failed, you'll be subjected to sit for a supplementary exam after attending 2 more months of lectures. If you pass the supplementary exam, you can continue in the following academic year. if not, you'll have to repeat the whole academic year...
i'm going for my viva voce session for Biochemistry this afternoon. it's not easy to get a distinction. i'll treat it as a chance to gain more experience as it's not that easy to get into the list... well, wish me good luck :)
i'm going home this Sunday

Happy Birthday, Mummy :)

I've been very busy lately... Sem 2.2 started with a lot of assignments and activities... CNY was over just like that :-/
I'm feeling quite frustrated today... firstly, i couldn't send messages using my Maxis number... then, there's this error in connection - i couldn't call anyone including the service centre! that was so frustrating! During the tutorial, I'd to squint my eyes to read the stupid notes with tiny words and diagrams given by a stupid, arrogant, plump, lecherous old man (to those who know this guy i'm mentioning, yeah! that's how i hate him).
later on, we attended the lecture which we hate the most - the useless, bullshit, brainwashing subject, given by an old woman. We always do our own stuffs at the back of the lecture hall... now she's telling us that we've to get her notes online! but we couldn't find it anywhere in the World Wide Web! we need the notes as we've no books to read, and this subject is a must-pass subject in order to be able to get our scrolls after 4.5 years!
now my phone is back to normal... it's Maxis problem, 'cause it's upgrading its services recently... i once thought it's my phone's problem, and i could have an excuse to get a new phone :P well, i'm just glad that everything's fine now :)
i'm going to the National Leprosy Centre on Sunday...
Sem 2.1 results are out... hmm... though i still didn't manage to get any distinction, but there's improvement in the grades :)
i'm sorry for bieng rude... just to release my anger, didn't mean to offend anybody :)

Happy CNY!

it's Chinese New Year! but i still bring home assignments to do... last week's exam was okay... hope that it'll be better than the last exam :) final exams will be starting in late April... must work harder!

didn't go anywhere except visitting relatives, friends and teachers... hmm... didn't feel as excited as when i was still a young girl... i'm 19 now... haha... some adults considered me as a grown-up, so no more red packet or "angpow" for me :'(

was so touched to meet some old friends whom i've lost touch with... hmm... many friends have gone elsewhere; overseas, other states, to study... miss them so much :'(

will be going back to uni on Sunday morning, by bus.

next Saturday night will be our Dance N Dinner Nite of Dental Faculty, going to be held at Tai Tong Restaurant in Damansara.
