When Life Gives Me Lemons

Image
It has been quite a long time since the last time I updated my blog, I am more preferred to share my opinions and stories in Facebook lately. So, are you familiar with "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade."? What's this all about? In my opinion, "When life gives you lemons" is referring to the sourness of life, "make lemonade" means you are turning the sourness of life into something sweet and nice. It suddenly hit me when I ponder on this just now, I might say, "when life gives me lemons, I'll make lemonade." But instead of lemonade, I'm thinking of something even greater. "When life gives me lemons, I'll grow lemon trees." Lemon tree Most of the time, we'll just follow what others do, when others make lemonade, we make it too. We are afraid to do other things with those "lemons". My point is, this life is so interesting when you have dreams, be it big or small. When life gives you somethin...

Chess/Cheers Tournament

Image
Lately, I've won in a chess tournament in our faculty. ^__^ Today, a friend asked me whether I want to join a "chess competition" in our main campus Kota Samarahan on the 27th May 2012. Strange, I didn't feel any excitement about the competition. She show me a post in Facebook by her classmate announcing the "chess competition". Then I told her, that's not "chess" that's "cheers". It's "cheers competition" not "chess competition". Then she suddenly "shy-shy". I can't stop laughing remembering this. Sometimes, we do make mistake, and people do laugh at us. Don't worry, smile back at them, and show to them that, their laughter won't bring you down. :D Hallelujah!

Smartphone – Problems for some people

Image
Amazingly, smartphones productions and sales are skyrocketing high in recent years. What I mean here is the touch-screen-smartphones (TSS). Majority of my friends are using TSS, some of them even have 2 smartphones with different numbers. Few brands are popular in the market: Apple, Samsung, Blackberry and Nokia. I chose Acer beTouch 140.  If previously you have heard about great things about TSS, let me share about some problems with smartphones. Sweaty hands: You’ll find difficulty with TSS if you have sweaty hands. Sometimes, the screen is not sensitive to your touch, so you need to wipe your fingers and the screen frequently. Moreover, the sweat will make the screen dirty. When it comes to games that require fast tapping (Tap the Frog and so on), you may find difficulty to excel in this type of game as your sweaty hands may sometimes disturb the reactivity of the screen to your touch. Typing messages:         ...

Tips for meeting the parents

Image
Tips for meeting other people with different gender's parents: (From what the author observed in Sarawak) 1. Smile and greet (A simple "Hi" or "Hello" will do) 2. Introduce yourself (This is commonly being initiated by the parents, well, your name will be the last, your background shall come first) 3. If step 2 is delayed, start a conversation with a topic from the environment (Building, Job, Study, and so on) 4. Prepare for tricky and deeper question (Where did you guys met? How long have you guys been together? What is your name and so on, well, this is uncommon, psych!) 5. Follow the flow of conversation, chip in when necessary, never try to dominate the conversation (unless you are hot and no longer a newbie), listen and keep quiet. 6. Smile during the farewell, head nodding and hand waving will do. 7. This is when step 4 be in action. Usually about 1-2 hours after the meeting it will most probably happen, but sometimes it took about 24 hour...

UNIFRUIT Day Out

Image
Hi, What is UNIFRUIT? It was started in year 2008. There are 7 of us, all of us got a fruit nickname. My UNIFRUIT nickname is Starfruit, in addition, Starfruit is one of the fruit that I can't really put into my mouth, it taste weird for me, so why did I choose this name? That's the puzzle. The Nicknames: Calvin & Vee Chien --> Banana 1 & Banana 2 Joannes --> Rambutan Valerie --> Durian Rebecca --> Mangosteen Priscilla --> Langsat Okay, very brief one. The day out is on Friday, Banana 1 & 2 can't make it during that time since they are not yet coming back to Kuching.  We go out for drinks, window shopping, and finally end up at Val's house chit-chatting while one of her cousin watch Ben 10. That's the 1st time I see the real Ben 10 show in my life. LOL.                                           That's The Langsat.       ...

There's a way to do the registration (UNIMAS)

Image
After the long holiday, we are going back to school life again. It’s going to be my final year in Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS). Today is the day for semester registration; I’m a bit excited because previously I always get a fine for late registration. I try to load the registration page in the morning, but it’s too slow and unable to proceed, this problem is normal for me and I already get use to it. I’ve decided to write something, so that the readers can do the registration even though the page is unable to load. Before that, I want to share how I managed to register my semester. It was back to few hours ago when I sit in front of my laptop waiting for an unending loading of page, 1. When you go to the  www.unimas.my  and then to e-pelajar, it failed to load. 2. When you go to portal.unimas.my and then to e-pelajar, it also failed. So how to register? No idea. but after that I figured out there’s a way in the PDF file they showed in the announcement....

Saturday Morning

Image
How can I flee from the sleepiness? When the warmth and the coolness are at their peace? Sure I'll win the fight if I strengthen my flesh And walk through that door - The chance How can I wake up others? When rest and sleep are what they need? No, there's nothing that can I do When the decision only waits for them I will open the door, and keep it still After I walked into the victory And I hope that, the cats, the noises, the foot steps sounds Will wake them up to see the day Full of mercy and hope 

A Wedding Day

Image
It's Tuesday, 30th August 2011. I witnessed a marriage in St Thomas Cathedral Kuching. That morning, I make a joke singing 25 minutes by MLTR near the door, when I see the bridegroom and the bride coming via their car. LOL. I guess that's some sort of "wedding song" for my younger years which I memorized, but I can't really remember the lyric nowadays. Haha.  Here's Blokken, Chipper, Andy & Me. 1. Marriage is not an easy decision. A relationship may starts with a nice introduction in the beginning, but it's a serious matter to upgrade it to the next level - the marriage.  Here's Julai joined in. 2. After sometimes, you realized that, in the relationship, something had changed but something's still there. Then you start to wonder, should I get married? or I should not. Maybe there's someone else out there for me.  3. In the predicament, you began to search around for the answer, you look around for clues, sit to reflect and even call ...

Working in Kuching Festival

Kuching Festival is an annual event in Kuching, usually held starting from 31st of July to 21st of August. My holiday is quite long this time, it's from June to September whereas the normal semester break is from June to mid of July, so I decided to do part time in Kuching Festival. Working for the drinks stall is really tiring for the 1st time, you are required to carry a tray with 24 cups of drinks and walk around to sell it. (There are also 16 cups & 12 cups tray). Sometimes, I help selling drinks in the stall and not carrying drinks to the customer, well, let me briefly tell you: Outside: Shouting drinks' name (Sugar cane, Blackcurrant, Chrysanthemum, Green Tea and etc.), carrying tray with drinks and walk around(refill after finish and go out again), Inside: Prepare drinks, look for drinks (Canned & Bottle) in the midst of ice cubes or refrigerator, get ice cubes and fill it in the big container or pumping machine and  get stocks from stores. Thank Go...
