In ten more days I'm going back to UPM. I don't feel like returning to my campus life. It is hectic and full of stress. The pressure of studies is the most dominant factor. Anyhow, lectures are going to start on July 12th, and I've got no choice but to leave my home. I return to UPM on the 9th of July because I've some tasks to deal with.
First of all, I need to clean my room. Books and papers that chockablock my table must all be eliminated! All those previous semester academic stuffs which are deemed irrelevant need to be packed and put aside. I'll either pass it to my direct junior or the others. Well, speaking about my direct junior. She has never come to me for anything, and I'm quite agitated about this matter. It's me who went to approach her during the first time. So, what could I do if she doesn't want to act? Perhaps she doesn't need any help at the first place, but I still couldn't comprehend it. Sigh. Also, I could still remember that there is a box of academic papers belong to my direct senior, and I'll return them to him if he still wants them back. Having that box of stuffs in my room is quite troublesome since my room is so small for two persons to stay in.
Besides, I haven't completed my task given by my (FYP) Final Year Project's supervisor. I need to sort out a topic out of a journal entitled "Explicit Runge-Kutta (-Nystrom) Methods with Reduced Phase Errors for Computing Oscillating Solutions". This journal is a complete different level compared to my degree of understanding. I have read it for a quite number of times together with a reference book given by my supervisor, but I could hardly understand anything. Consequently, I couldn't get a topic from it. How am I going to understand it? I'm very worried and furious about it. He should have just given me the topic and everything will be as clear as the sky. Instead, he gave me such a difficult task. Everyday I wake up, the image of that journal will be on my mind; I couldn't do anything but to give a sigh on it. I wish I could just give up on that piece of material. Try reading a material that you couldn't understand no matter how many times you read; eventually you will feel how I'm feeling right now. REDUNDANT is all I could say. Anyway, I still need to anyhow complete my task before visiting my supervisor when the semester starts.
All in all, I will try my best to enjoy these ten days in my hometown. I will not leave them to waste just like that. Hopefully, I could settle my FYP before then too. *~ush ~ush!!!*

My Journal
Well, I have been away from this blog for approximately 3 years and so I think it would be appropriate if I jot down a few events that happened during my disappearance. I have posted a short Note in my Facebook recently - about my life in UPM from the first semester till the fourth one. What I'm going to do is to share it with everyone here. Some might have read it and some might not have. Anyway, since blog is some sort of personal diary, I guess I'll treasure my Note entitled: "My Journal" by putting it over here too. Enjoy!
You know what,
When I left home to UPM,
I had mixed feelings,
As I was about to embark on a new journey
In this very place.
Upon my arrival in K6,
I got my room –104 Delima.
An empty, dusty room.
As if it was unoccupied for years.
I've got a roommate –
He was a quiet one.
I could sometimes see reflection of me in him;
Quite similar to my being.
I guess this is destiny.
It was the orientation week.
A lot of activities were carried out.
It was tiring, yet fun.
I made new friends –
Told them that I was a banana,
Accidentally got Milo poured on me, (I've forgotten who.)
Passed around a piece of paper and pen to get their contact numbers,
Spelt my Chinese and Malay names to them,
And so forth.
First week of lecture started.
On the very first day,
My school friend and I met up
To check out our campus –
From DB, DK 1-4 to DK 5-9.
There was this one night,
Few Kolej mates and I went out –
Took a stroll to CIMB area by crossing over the pedestrian bridge
And to McD. (Using a very long route.)
Well,
Never had I boarded UPM buses for a week or so
As I was not familiar with the route.
After that week,
I guess I was admitted to hospital for Dengue.
Thanks to those who took care after me.
Thank you!
When I got back to UPM,
A lot of them concerned about me. (Thanks!)
After that was the Course Night.
It was my first time attending this kind of party.
And sadly,
I was actually still in the recovering period!
Anyway,
It was enjoyable.
During the first semester,
Among my coursemates, (Math & Stat)
Not many people knew me.
Perhaps I am a very quiet and shy guy,
Especially in front of so many girls.
I strived hard for exams,
Just like when I was in my Alma Mater,
But not during my Sixth Form. (Rebellious stage. Hehe..)
Eventually,
I passed my exams with flying colours.
I was in the seventh heaven of delight.
Thank you for those who helped me in my academics.
You have my gratitude.
During the second semester,
I started to make more friends.
I am no more a hermit.
I have got used to the life in campus.
BBI 2421 was the most fun class.
And hey!
Thanks for the birthday cake and sandwiches!
One slice of cake and few sandwiches. (Was it salmon or tuna?)
I knew there was something when you called me out from the library;
It was my birthday anyway. (Haha!)
By the end of the semester,
Few of us decided to move out from Kolej,
And so we went out to find houses and flats to rent.
Finally,
Old Flat, 19C, 3rd Floor was the place.
During the third semester –
No more Kolej life.
I stayed in a more independent and carefree environment.
I am glad that I moved out.
There are more pros than cons.
And that was when we started to go out –
To sing karaoke and play all sorts of games.
It was indeed very fun!
Then,
I had my first love story.
Even though it was not long,
I learnt a lot.
I am truly sorry if I have hurt you.
By the end of the semester,
My friend and I shifted from 19C to 8B.
Not to forget,
Upon obtaining my results,
I was shocked to see my MGM 3180 result!
Fuck you to Mr. whatever-you-are!
Okay, enough said. (Emo-ing..)
During the fourth semester,
More friends moved out from their Kolej’s,
Joining us in Old Flat.
Despite the influx of these people,
Not many outings had been done
Except the M&S parties,
Due to many friends have been “coupled”.
They would spend most of their time sticking together,
Leaving the singles and long-distance-relationship people unattended.
Also,
M&S timetables are no more the same.
We could only get together during MTH 3501 lecture.
To me,
Dr. Zanariah is the best lecturer.
She cares for her students very much.
It was fun to be in her lecture.
Although my birthday falls during the final exam weeks,
You guys never forget.
Thanks to my constant reminder! (Lolz..)
I knew you all were planning for my birthday party,
But the unexpected thing was the amount of people who celebrated with me.
Seriously,
I was shocked to see so many of you there.
At least there was this one event that I enjoyed very much.
To put it in a nutshell,
This journey consists of
Many sweet and sour happenings
Which are worthwhile to become parts of my memories –
Friendship,
Love,
Happiness,
Loneliness,
Despair,
Tension,
Et cetera –
As I believe they would mould me into a better person in the near future.
I am now looking forward for my final year in UPM.
I wonder how my journey will end.
Fingers crossed.

I'm Back!
Hey, guys!
I've been deciding whether to come back to the old blog or create a new one. Eventually, here I am, and I'm going to make this blog as lively as possible. There are a few reasons why I resurrect my blog.
First, it is mainly due to my boredom. I don't want to be idle all the time; at least I do something - that is blogging! During this long semester break, I have always been staying at home, doing nothing but watching dramas, movies and Japanese animations, as well as reading mangas, playing Facebook, Lowyat-foruming, et cetera. Everything is done by sitting on a chair with a laptop on the table. What an idle life! Anyway, I did go out with friends for gathering at night once in a blue moon. A lot of my friends went for their internships and that's why not much gathering has been held. Evey evening working out inside my room is considered as one of my entertainments since I feel refreshed after the session.
Secondly, I want to improve my deteriorative command of English. I'm now studying in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), pursuing degree in Mathematics. A majority of my course-mates are Chinese educated, and as a results I could hardly converse with them in English. Well, I'm actually being raised in the Chinese-speaking community, but I'm not Chinese educated. I just want some of my friends to use multi-languages when conversing with me. Malaysia is a multiracial country, so why not using multi-languages? Just like what I do with my hometown friends. I tried using it with my UPM buddies, but it was awkward and eventually conversing in Chinese is the best resort. As time passes, my command of Chinese is improving while my English level is degrading. Also, no doubt my national language - Bahasa Malaysia is deteriorating.
The last reason is because when new semester starts, my lecture will be from Monday to Wednesday. I'll have ample of free time; thus I'll at least have something to spend on. Anyway, I still have to arrange another time slot for meeting with my Supervisor (Lecturer) who handles my Final Year Project. I wonder which day will it be.
Well, I guess I'll stop here. Actually, I still have tonnes of things to type out, but I guess I'll leave it for tomorrow. I'm glad that I typed out quite a lengthy one here. Expressing myself here is quite fun too. Till then, good night.
