15th November 2010

After everything I've gone through for the past few years, appeasing myself everyday with everything I have, finally it is going to end! Myself, as a final undergraduate student from Northumbria University. Sounds exciting, aye? Unfortunately, not yet! I have another year to go as I have to study MSc programme! 1 YEAR MORE + 11 absurdly module to undertaken during that 1year!! ughh!!! I'm going feral soon!! Someone, please knock on my head!! I know, 11 module isn't a lot for certain people, but if think about it that you need to spend another year for your study, isn't that's too long? I mean like look, I missed out one point, the 1year, it is just for the master and I need to work for minimum 3years before getting my MBA. So, total 4years!

There are two options in order for me to obtain the MBA qualification.
Option 1: Complete my undergraduate= work 2-3years= 2years of MBA.

Option 2: Complete my undergraduate=Master= work 2-3years= 1year MBA (where I only undertake 1 dissertation which is through online).

Which one sounds better to you, folks? Feeling perplexed with my decision everyday isn't helping me to make wise decision. Wait, or maybe I can just end my student life after completing my final year and work and be a happy, free person? Will that be better off for me? Or just continue the journey, get murdered by books, but at the end, get the result I always dream of?

Honestly, I just want to work, set up own business that I always wanted. Anyway, I'll figure it myself. My 2nd brother is getting married end of this year and I wasn't even sure whether I can make it to the wedding. Sad case:( Doesn't matter, let god decide whether I should go home. One secret: I'm keeping myself in a strict diet plan just for the wedding:) Hopefully I can maintain till the wedding day. Seriously, effing hard to diet especially during winter season. Keep getting hungry:(

On the other hand, my future sis-in law's sister had been admitted in the hospital recently and is still in the CCU unit. Not even sure when will she be discharge because of her current condition. Let's just pray for her, folks that she will recover quickly and get out from that bed. I'm just worried about her not that because she's going to be part of my family, it is because I've known her since secondary and she is 3years younger (I presume). So, it is like we are kinda fated to be together since her sister is coming to become my future sis-in-law soon.

I must dash now, I need to continue with my research and preparation for tomorrow's class. Ughh. Lame but still need to.

Love Racheal^^

Enjoy:)

End of my 2nd year in Uni.

Click. And there goes end of my 2nd year in University- 7th May 2010. Its unbelievable how time passes so quickly. Alright, what to do now? Hmm. 1 more assignment to work on and some updating to do on my other assignments and I'm on my way to enjoy ma holiday. 9days to go and I will be in the land of romance: Italy, Paris, Venice, Switzerland, Germany and Amsterdam. Within this 9days, I'm definitely going to work extra harder on my assignment and then.......throw away my books (hehe.just jkj, should say leave a side :) )

I need to make a shopping list. Oh no, wait, I still need to pack my stuff!! I',m moving out of this apartment again. arghh. Loathe it every time I mention moving house. It gives me loads of headache and drive me insane. Oh well, at least this time my new apartment will be just next door to this building:).hehe. Lucky me.

Back to my holiday topic. I'm basically going for a 12days trip in 1week ish time and I've already started packing some clothes into my luggage and after that, I'm going back straight to my home sweet home, MALAYSIA. Looking forward to it as I miss everything back home. Definitely going to be a tiring summer holiday for me as I'm going to Shanghai early June (9days) and Taiwan (3weeks) in July. Sounds pretty fun aye? Oh well, be jealous :) haha. (I'm not that mean, just that I love to travel so much and am willing to spend my money on travelling). I will get some souvenirs for everyone, who text me:). You have my number don't you.

Shouldn't be typing here because I've got assignment to work on and needed to hand in within a week. But I feel I've neglected my blog for some time again and again, so maybe at least I could write something here and release my stress. Not fun at all when I only left a week to start my assignment. I hate rushing. Makes me unproductive. arghh.

Anyway, its Britain election day today and am waiting for the result. I'm not a politician at all but I do have this curiosity habit of knowing what's going on in the world. Will post the result later soon I receive it.:)

Alright, need to work on my assignment. Wish me luck and a happy holiday Northumbria students. May not see some of you guys next term because of placement but we will meet again in the future. Have fun with your placement and holiday. Adious.

Song for the day.

Bits of my life

Saturday!!! What to do? Get drunk? Dance all night? What else if not stress myself with workloads. Another more week then class resume. Such a pathetic life.Whenever I close and open my eyes, all I see is........(scroll down)

Look!Table filled with books, papers, pen etc. Even on a Friday and Saturday night! I want my life back!!! Everytime I see all these stuff, it makes me reminisce the time back in high school. The fun I had till the extreme. The word 'felicity' perhaps I should use to describe the moment in those days. Is there a time machine I could turn back? Avoid all the hassle which I've encountered lately. Whenever my mates sees me, they always ask why do I look so exhausted. Oh well, what more can I say if all these tiredness is worth for my future. I might look like a prat but honestly, Im not a genius student who can just work on their assignments at the last minute so, might as well accept the fact that I need to work extra.

Lately, news been reporting on natural disasters , Iceland's volcano, earthquake in China, and yesterday, earthquake in one part of American, leakage of oil tank in the ocean etc. Remember the 2012 film? I'll show you if any of you can't recall.

I haven't actually watch the movie yet but heard that it's a nice film. Anyway, I've read the sypnosis and defnitely sounds kinda scary. Is this the end of world? Are they actually going to happen in this world? People, please try to do something about the environment! Don't damage the gift of god. Please go green and I meant it. I've did something like switching the lights off when I doesn't need it, recycle, etc. Doesn't seems much contribution from just a single person but if each of us start putting our shoulders together, we can go through all this. I often want to ask the person who habitually asked people to go green, but do they actually done something green to the environment? I hope so if not please save your energy. Anyway, I hope these natural disaster will stop soon and people who got stuck in the airport, let's pray together things will get when time comes.

Another thing is that, I just discovered that I actually can be an architect!hahaha. Instead of working on my assignments, I spent more time drawing and modifying house plan, I mean real house plan. Its for my family actually because we've been rejecting drawings from our architects. Sunnie ( my girl-friend) said I'm going insane but come on, its my future house and my family will be staying there for the rest of their life. I reckon such efforts is worth to be pour in because all we want is a comfortable and a relaxing place to live in. Frankly, we've rejected almost 8-10drawings in these 2 years, including the interior design. Maybe,I had discovered my true skills because everytime I draw, I actually used my patience, ideas etc to make the drawing 'perfect'. Hmm. worth a consideration for now.

Anyway, I am looking forward to a long break this summer after all the hard work I've done. My adventure is going to start soon. Really excited! Forgotten to mention that, in 365days, I only have 103days of break which equivalent to 3months and 11days. I'm so gonna enjoy my holiday till the max as usual and get rid of the books which has been huting me since college life. Have a great night out folks in Newcastle! And well well, good morning to Malaysia. Enjoy your family day!!

April 10, 2010

Hot topic from the news today. Its about the yuan rise in the China economy. We often heard that the Westerners often accuse China about keeping their currency under value. This has given an unfair advantage to other country's exporters. Check the news out on BBC which is available at: www.bbc.co.uk and search: ''Yuan rise bad for China's economy, minister warn''.

I often ponder, if say president Hu Jin Tao (if not mistaken) allow its currency to appreciate, what will happen to the US? The economists have already predicted that the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) will one day overtake the US and other western countries especially China which will overtake US around '2025ish' and be on the top list. Hmm. No offence, but I honestly doesn't like China and I prefer to support westerners albeit I'm an asian.

To me, China is just too devious sometimes, sneaky and sarcastic. Not a place to become a permenant resident. They dare to do anything just to acquire power or etc. I can't envisage the Chinese eating snakes meat, dog etc when one of my Chinese friend told me about it. However, there are still Chinese folks who are really friendly and gracious. Like Chinese friends, they are just too......you know. I like them :) Glad to have you guys.

10.08pm now. Feeling lil exhausted and sleepy. Perhaps, its a sign for bed time. Good night folks.

Its FRIDAYYY!!

Apparently, I thought its Thursday today. lol. Time is running out and I'm far way behind my assignments. I'm getting anxious and scare. Woke up at 6ish in the morning, as usual and did some laundry, had my breakfast, news, facebook, checked my email etc. Such a healthy life, aye? This is what I usually do for your info except for the laundry which I do twice a week only.keke. Sound un-hygeine? Oh boy, not really to be honest. I've got friends who do their laundry once a month! Albeit the weather in Newcastle is always chilly, but once you step outside your house, you'll be surrounded by polluted air! Not hygeine at all!

Was doing my revision the whole day and currently doing some research in the library. Such a boring life when I've got to stare at those books which was pilled up and reading chapters by chapters. Why do I have to go through all this? I believe that every student loathe doing what I'm currently doing. Is this our student life? That everyone has to go through school, college and un just to get that piece of paper (certificate) and get employed? Why can't we just get recruited with our nature skills, personal knowledge etc? P.S: I accidentely keep kicking and stepping on one of the guy leg who are sitting in front of me. Hope he's not mad. Soreeyy.Anyway, he's cute.haha. :@ Forget about it.

Got couple of friends asked me out for some drink as its Friday! Unsure if Im making the right decision by turning them down. Hope they forgive me as I really need to catch up with my assignments. Have fun guys and party hard tonight.

A good and bad news for everyone. Which one would you like to hear first? Oh well, I'll say the good one first. My brother is getting married in December!! Hoorrayyy... And the bad news is.... I might not be able to attend it as its my final year and I want to concentrate on my studies. However, its so difficult to make any decision now.

I've got three step brothers. Was a long family history but frankly, the question about continuing to have this wedding dinner or not is something I want to know after what happened a year ago. Although they were my step brothers, our relationship is still close as we often meet one another when I'm in Malaysia. I doesn't care about the family history and I'm willing sacrifice whatever to my brothers. But, are they willing to do that to me? Have they really acknowledge and accept me and my two other sisters ? Do they loathe my mum for what had happened in the past? Do they know the thruth behind all these mystery history or they are just hearing what people says to them. These questions often pop out with a big question marks. Anyway, I just hope I won't be disappointed this time and I wish my brother, Jason and my new '2 sau' Brenda congratulation. I wish both of you happy forever and I want another baby boy.....haha. Muackk.

I knew Brenda long time ago before my brother met her. Such a lovely couple.Apparently, she's my high school mate's sister whom I usually hang out alot during high school. Just see how small the world is. Talking about his, I met another high school friend in Paris airport last year. See, I told you, the world is just way tooo tiny.

Better off continue with my research. I don't want to waste my time in the library posting blogs. Have a nice day and good night folks.

Easter break

Been neglecting my blog for sometime I presume. Oh well, doesn't matter. At least I'm being proactive by writing something here for now:) Easter break started last week and I've been hanging out constantly with my chums and uni frens for parties, dinner, etc. Such a tiring easter break this year. Perhaps, I should mull over about not going to clubs anymore, stay in for the time being and pay more attention on my assignments. Not even a single word has yet to be type on the microsoft word. Am going insane with what I'm currently doing. Was doing some readings for my SM0269 module as I totally have no idea what's going on in the lecture albeit I attend it every week but I end up writing this blog now. Can you see what's my problem now?

Yesterday, I brought my fren, 'A' to the general hospital to get her fingers treated. Her fingers was severely hurt after she 'accidentely' broke a picture frame in one of my friend's house the night before. Got a deep cut from the broken pieces of glass and the blood keep flowing out continuously. I was like 'OMGGG..' and in my heart keep screaming 'what should I do? I don't have any bandage!! Why is this happening at this hour?' Honestly, this is my 1st time to watch these sort of scenario. Everyone was eventually drunk except for me being a sober at that time. Cut it short, some drunkard friends that night, one of them got injured, send her to the hospital the next day as it was really late at night but we manage to slow down the blood by putting some bandages, got her treated yesterday afternoon, everyone is good now so does my 'injured' friend and story end. Conclusion, from this incident, it made me realised that I do actually have some folks around me who are truely looking after me, someone who are willing to sacrifice for me and others, someone who I can have faith in. Same goes to Joel, although we may be far apart, but he still take care of me. Thanks, my friend.


My friend recorded this video while she was being checked by the doctor.

Guess I need to stop now. I've got ample of stuff to say, but oh well, keep it for tomorrow. Don't want to waste it:)

Din sum

A good news to be asserted today! That is, I did not make any attempt to go out for some brunch, din sum!!! Yippee. I'm so proud of myself. Saved another 10quid (rm60). Usually, I go for din sum or we called it Chinese breakfast? every Sunday. I'm a din sum lover. Yum yum. 10quid sounds a lot to me to be honest. But what to do when people like me loves to eat din sum so desperately. Back home, I go for din sum almost 3-4times a week with Joe! Could you envisage that? I always wonder if I could set up a din sum business in Newcastle because so far, there's only two restaurant which serves din sum. But usually, people would opt for the restaurant (which I go) in Chinatown as it taste better than the other one. However, I felt that the restaurant is trying to dominate the asian din sun in Newcastle! . Sometimes, their customer service is either poor or they are charging exorbitant prices.

If I were to set up a business in Newcastle, at least I get to earn some income to support myself rather than relying on my parent who are working so hard back home to support the family. Also, I can eat din sum everyday:) haha. Seriously folks, I did thought about it. I realised that the English loves to eat Asian food!! which is something a good start to think for folks like me. Also, there's lots of Asian in Newcastle, so why not try my luck?

Before thinking of starting my business, I've got to think about my cash flow! Where am I going to get some cash to run the business? Will the bank loan me money at the moment of recession?? Who will give me support? Where can I get good chef? Can a student run a business abroad? Crap! I'll be here for another 2-3years anyway. Oh well, will start doing some research. Hopefully, my dream will come true. Pray pray.

Another day has gone. Two more hours to Monday morning. I loathe Monday! Everyone does. Need to attend 9am lecture till half 6 every Morning and Tuesday from 9am till half 4. Arghh.. Its too much. But the good thing is that I get to have Wed till Friday off:) Suffer 2days and rest 3days:). I should be revising for my NX0201 now for the upcoming test on Wed instead of blogging. Hmm. Forget about it. I still prefer to blog anyway.haha. Addicted to it.

Have anyone watch Born Rich (TVB drama) yet? Oh gosh. I love it so much. I have been watching every single night with 1episod per night.lol. Its a highly recommended series to be watched! Google it and read the synopsis. Apologise for my laziness to explain to you about the drama.

Won't be writing much today. Better start revising for my exam. If you to check out my facebook on the quiz I took just now about how long do I spend on FB a week, then you know. Good night folks.

Enjoy your weekday!!
Adious.
