Pre-semester briefing and future plannings

Two days, or should I say not more than 36 hours, I'm gonna back to INTI and start the 5th semester of college life. It's took me some time to think about the future, and the decision had been made. After this semester over, I won't be continuing my studies in INTI and leave my further studies over at the States, this meaning next semester would be my last. 

Reasons why it was last, I concerned about all the problems and made into a very deep consideration during the semester break, one and a half years of studies is really tiring and stressful, maybe it's time to take a break. Plus, there was not any more subjects that available me to take, so there's no point for spending more time and money on college. Regarding to the decision, my parents respect and give support for my decision, as long everything running smooth and going according to the plan, thanks for being understanding and I do appreciate it.  

What after the semester, well, I don't really know yet, but definitely not running away from the word "money", yep, WORKING, since I'm heading to the States at the end of the year, an amount of money would be good for me and help to spare the financial aid from my parents. What, where, when to work is the problem, but nah, I leave this to think during the semester. Now I just need to focus on my studies, which the psychology subject that I took next semester, this is my major subject and the main priority of the semester, can't afford to screw it up. 

On the other hand, I also looking forward for a trip to Singapore with Reyhan, Daniel, Rishanty and Praveen. At there, we'll join Taufik and he'll be our tour guide all the way as we visit his home country. This also part of the farewell to him as he was scheduled to leave to Minnesota for pursuing his further studies. It's been a while that I been to Singapore, the last time was, errrr....12 years ago? I was 7 years by that time then, this time revisiting Singapore, it's not doubt that it had change alot. 

As people said: "Don’t waste your time looking back at what you’ve lost. Move on, life is not meant to be traveled backwards." I was the looking forward-type, I cherish all the past moment that I had and hoping for a better and brighter future, may the god bless and all the best to me. 

Semester break doing's

Well, I still have 2 weeks of semester break before went back for school, before the break, I made myself a to-do list, listed quite a number of task I need to complete during the break and no more wasting time on internet or computer games. There's a book/ movie called Eat, Pray, Love, and I try to avoid myself from fall into another variant, Eat, Play, Sleep.

First to-do, LOSE BELLY FAT= LOSE WEIGHT!! 
since step foot inside the college life, everyday's cycle is almost like, eat, study, play, sleep.
what is missing? Sports!! 3 weeks ago, had a basketball session with my friend before the finals.
expectation, score at least 10 points, reality, don't mention the points, I doubt myself even no more than 4 field goals attempt, tiredness really bought me down! So, for the sake of a nice/ sexy body shape, to attract more girls  (errrhmmm), to having a more healthy lifestyle. In order to do this, I tried this....

( DEFINITELY NOT THIS)

THIS!!!!!

       
Mike Chang's Six Pack Shortcuts!! of course, not so fast as you expected to have sixpack within a month or something, Cut off belly fat is the priority, with Mike Chang's 5 minute After-Burner Workout, which I do it daily, associated with a healthy eating diet, I certainly hope can have my previous body shape back (No belly Fat attached of course) for the workout, you can check it out here on YouTube.

Second to-do list, buy myself a camera. Not to mention the phone's camera, despite how good the megapixel is gonna be, the quality will never comparable/ better than the camera does. Brand selection, this is the tough one, different brand had their own features, then their pros and cons combined together and made you struggle from choosing between them, then made you regret and cry like a baby afterwards. Therefore, RESEARCH, SURVEY, and COMPARE, is what I did. 

Canon EOS 600D 

Nikon D5100

Sony SLT Alpha A55

Why DSLR? well first, interest of course, having a hobby of photography is better than spending hour on gaming or sit there and suck my thumbs, good camera meaning good photo quality, investment of camera in return of good memories, definitely valuable.

At last, finish the entire season of TV shows!! inspired by friends, started watching How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory, I prefer to watch sit-coms rather than those stupid dramas.

Farewell, my 4th

I'm back for the blog!!! (where's the firework, or hand clapping?) *fine nevermind.
btw, this is gonna be a long story to go on, because I HAVE TOO MANY STORIES TO SHARE!!! 

May 3rd 2012, I've completed my 4th semester at INTI IU, this semester is the most important and the most interesting chapters in my university life. First, challenge of this semester, 4 subjects plus 1 MPW and a TOEFL test, but I managed to survive, as I recalled correctly, once somebody I knew, he told  WHOLE LIFE OF YOURS IS A WAR, SURVIVAL IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.

First things first, the people I've met and hang out with, introducing....
       
   Taufik a.k.a DeeJay Taufeek                 Reyhan a.k.a the Transporter  
   
          
 Vinodh a.k.a Vin (not diesel lol)                         Praveen and Rishanty                
                                                                          (The Navaratnam's)

      
Edwin Eu a.k.a the annoying cat                    Daniel a.k.a the fat neck guy

These people were AWESOME!! :D
All of them having the same similarities, FRIENDLY!!! well, that's the important part to bond with other people in the society isn't it? I really appreciate and happy to be friend with them! btw, Taufik and Reyhan was living in my block also!!! ( I already knew Taufik live above my floor but I only knew Reyhan was my opposite neighbour on my start of 4th sem lol)

Things we do :)

Celebrating Edwin's 19th Birthday, Happy birthday annoying cat!! :D


Visit to The Curve mall, in Reyhan's car lol, one of the expensive car I ever sit at :O


Dinner at Jogoya!! again, one of the expensive buffet I ever ate, and the dude's playing FIFA 12 on iPad cause play in room or cybercafe is too mainstream lol :D

Reyhan and Daniel, who them were applying to U.K and Canada, I will visit to you guys if I had the chance (and money of course)  to go over U.K or Canada lol.
For Taufik and Edwin, who is going to Minnesota and Iowa on August, all the best to you guys, I see you guys this end of the year or next year semester break in US!! :D
Rishi and I were planning to transfer this end of the year, so all the best to us and for Vin and Praveen, I see you guys next year at US :)

Second part, return to the classes. Two Borges subject this semester meaning got two trials lah, so you can imagine how busy and hectic it can be behind all the hard works.

First of his subject, Philosophy, mind-fucked subject, requirements for class ( excluding the Dr.B basic rule)
READ BEFORE COMING TO CLASS, SIT IN CIRCLE, TALK AND DISCUSS ( If you don't know how to answer never mind, only get shot by his sarcasm for at least 15minutes), for avoiding this, I sit the at the corner of the circle formation, which is also near to Dr. Borges, people said " The safest place is always near to the dangerous) and this prove is DEFINITELY VALID.  


 
The defence team!! mission objective: to defend the DeeJay from death sentences because his music is too loud then two people get killed because their ear cannot tahan lol, I'm just joking, this is actually about the star chamber vigilante case, about the cop kill two criminals and blah blah blah, conclusion : Mistrial zzz

The second subject, Sociology, I found it quite interesting cause it's part of my major, in class I knew a number of first semester student, they were really awesome, in some way, it was quite good to work as a team with them, despite having less experience, but they have the potential to deal with it, with the hardwork payoff, formed our prosecuting team :)


The Prosecuting team vs. The defence team


Our trial objective : to prosecute the main suspect of baby-selling case, lots of development, complicated storyline, blah blah blah, conclusion: mistrial ( zzz, it's my third case already!!)

But, whatever the conclusion was, the main point was, FUN!!

Dr, Borges and I, Can you notice the difference? :D 

Music is timeless, so does the memory, as somebody said: " if you din't do something when you're young, then you have nothing to laugh when you get older". I had concluded my 4th semester and ready to move-on to my probably lase semester at the start of 28th of may, let's hope for the best next semester, as I ready to go :)
