致青春。

说真的,今天整天都在想,关于要怎么把心情文字化,到最后发现根本不可能。

昨天晚上因为在学习所以把网络关掉,在睡觉前稍微看了一下面子书才知道这个消息,《飞跃校园》版将电子化。说实话当时的心情很复杂,甚至到现在依然没有实感。
今天早上用e报翻了下《飞跃校园》,刊登的是槟城的成立典礼,一切就如既往那样,除了左上角那被无限转发,再也熟悉不过的绿色小格子。
对,每个星期四的《飞跃校园》将不会再有印刷版,取而代之的是电子版,意味着接下来的稿件都将不会“见报”,原因单纯是为了与时代并进。
蛮讽刺的是,前几个星期其中一篇被刊登的报道,《致即将逝去的纸质时代》,虽然内容写的不是有关手中读物,但想要说明的是,这些“传统”有着它自己的价值,“跟上脚步的时代”和“电子化”,相差那么一点,感觉上绝对是大大的不同。


“不是所有事情可以用钱來衡量的, 有些東西的存在一定会有它的意义价值, 而这个价值却是无价的。”

校记团把我们带到一起,而这一版记载着大家一起经历过的种种。
这个版面承载着我们的喜怒哀乐,虽然稿费不算多,但稿件刊登时的心情绝对不是金钱能衡量的。常常会因为吉玻区全版而雀跃无比,或是某校记刊登了很大一版被大家哄请吃,很难想象以后的日子校记内不会再有这样的场景。
虽然不在北马,却还是会想要把身边的事情寄过去,看到自己的稿件刊登,然后要求把新闻剪下收起来。虽然被刊登的稿件不多,但往往会因为一小版而雀跃不已。

不是很清楚自己第一篇稿件是什么了,只能隐约记得是和朋友连稿,第一次刊登,第一次收到稿费,除了难以置信,到现在那雀跃感仍是不减。
中四那年的第一次营长,《梦想指南针》全版刊登时,再次满满成就感,加入校记后真的不能想象自己也会有那么一天。

同一年,第一次在吉玻区举办的第21届培训营《玩转米乡》,依然记得获得当年年度最勤报道奖和好多月的最佳报道奖。

身为吉玻区团长的最后一个活动22届成立典礼《萌芽》,带着不舍的把活动办完,再看着也许就是最后一篇自己的活动刊登,心情复杂却是满足的。
这真的是自己电子画板画的
其实不曾说过,每个自己举办过的营,取名方面,文字方面,设计方面,在背后都有对自己非凡的意义,很多不曾说出来的故事。
(坚持把照片一一翻出来,看着看着怎么就流泪了,怎么说绝版就绝版了呢?)
最后一篇的刊登稿件《致即将逝去的纸质时代》忽然显得有点那么讽刺……


也许自己不曾说出,光华日报校园记者团对我来说有多么重要,但自己明白它在心里有着很高价值和地位。想说《飞跃校园》版也许就是看着我成长悦变的地方,更是我坚持不懈的其中一个动力。
喜欢模糊版老旧价值的感觉

感谢版主们一直以来的坚持和努力,感恩陪我一路走来的飞跃校园版,感谢记录着我青春岁月美好回忆的这个地方,嗯,别了!

Da heels!


(read title)
I did mention in my wechat moments how fancy it is to be a student ambassador, will tell you guys here too, but it will the last thing I'll talk about, so make sure you read it till the end!

Today's the last day of tuition free week *sobs sobs*, so start from tomorrow there'll be totally no break for me to sort things out, gonna start busy with assignments, assessments, projects, meetings, reports and so on. Hit me! (nahhh kidding) 
Well the whole week had been quite hectic although it should be a free week, which I still have some my time to watch dramas and clips online.  Anyway, it's still been packed with fun!

1.Sponsorship hunting
Spent one of the day went sponsorship hunting, believe it or not, after all previous events I was involved, I had ZERO experience in this. We spent the whole afternoon, walking under the scorching sun, in and out companies and hotels, even got fine tickets for parking overtime.
It was fun, walking here and there (exercise mahh) I had been missing the gym and my training for a week so this made me felt less guilt hehhh  never knew that there's so much hotels and inns around the city, found some quite interesting ones (the ones that I would probably like to stay in XD)
On that day we ended up only getting RM50 from a lawyer firm 0.o We actually didn't go around much since we were rushing home that day LOL

2.Campus tour for Brunei students
Spent a morning with a bunch of high school students from Brunei. This may be my first official campus tour!
Had some fun time showing them around, and also knew more about them. They have a different education system, which they can skip a year and may ended up graduating at a very young age.


Sneakpeak from the gym.
Apparently they had fun at the gym since three guys are like gym buddies LOL They played with the equipments and when I was like guys we should move on! and went outside, they're still selfie-ing in front of the mirror (btw my group was a whole-boys one) ///(A^A)///
Our group actually spent the least time going around the campus as I was like "nahhh we shouldn't go to the lakeside its so hot now lets just look from here" or "nahhh we shouldn't go over the rugby and basketball court, so far! Can you see the green green thing there, yaya that's it!" Haha thanks god they didn't request to go over the other side of the lake I will literally melt under the sun XD
Others group were like "YOLO no worries with the sun we must go to the lakeside!!! Even we melt!" Glad that I was with Ms.Rai which totally agree that YOLO we shouldn't melt Haha.

With their fav transformer LOL

a BTS shot
They probably were wondering what's that weird hand gesture I was doing.
 Its called finger love you peeps.

fav pic of the day!
This was actually not shot by me, as you can see there's girls in this group. You can also definitely tell it was shot by a real tall guy (which he really is). Did some touch up and voila!
After that we had some refreshments and had a small talk with the students and ended by me rushing for my next schedule. *read below*

3. Video shooting!
Yepp the next thing after campus tour is video shooting! With my oily and sweating face after the long morning LOL.
We worked with the crew from Perth, basically about out new distributed learning center, which is a so damn cool classroom. Basically what we did were nodding and pretended how interesting the lecturer was saying although we understood nothing XD
No pics to be shown here, let's hope one day I will be featured in the video so I can share with you guys =]

4. Graduation day!
We were asked to help out on the graduation day, basically just ushering the parents and congratulating the graduates. Food provided so why not XD
never knew that the rec hall could turn out so grand
Morning was for business and afternoon for engineering.

It started with guests going in, then performance of sape while waiting, then the representative of faculties coming in following by the representative of different tribes with their traditional costumes.
The morning session was packed full but the afternoon session had less people, we had fun anyway XD

morning session staffs
afternoon session staffs
Can definitely tell the difference as I was actually at the end of the row in the afternoon session. Notice that two guys with couple tees beside me they actually went shopping the day before XD



Been dolled up and on my heels for the whole day,
ushering parents and geeting the graduates,
with toes cramped for countless times.
Gahhhh, student ambassador, such fancy =)

This is what I wrote on my moments, if you wonder. Well, it really is fancy, we get to see those happy faces of the graduates, and believe me, nothing is better than that! Can't wait to graduate! Still a long way to go!

Bye my Eighteen

Yayyy its tuition free week now finally I have time to finish all my work and now get to write here!!!
I know I'd been quite lazy coming up here. To be frank, for the past few weeks my life was a mess, haha! Well, now its better, I found directions =]

Okay, I always wanted to write about my 18 y/o since its a special year!!!

Thinking back, what did I do for the whole year? Since I had a gap for almost the whole year, its actually quite empty, but looking in details, I really did challenged quite a lot!

First goal achieved, I worked as a barista!
I always wanted to work as a barista, at least once in my life, so achieved!
Quite lucky I didn't only get to work as a barista, also get to work on my drawings~! You never know how accomplished it felt when the boss' daughter wanted me to draw on her bedroom walls, but nahhh I don't even dare to draw on my own XD

Another quite not-worth-to-mention thing is staying at a busy city.
Well, once I decided I want to study at Curtin, I know that I have no chance for the busy city life for this moment. So since I am still on my gap, I went to stay with Zoe at Damansara KL for almost a month (?) I didn't post anything about it on FB/ my fav insta lol but just blogged here (which I haven't reveal it yet at that time) 
I really do enjoy the busy city life, going around by all the public transportation, living the so called fancy life LOL. Owhh and also get to visit FashionValet pop up store! (which now is already not a temporary one!

Another big thing is of course went into university!
Glad that I got to choose my own path, I actually got matriks and UPU, but gave up and ended up here. Well no regrets on choosing here, I enjoyed a lot, and its not that bad as imagined.
Enjoyed the first semester thoroughly, got into the Dean's list, now a student ambassador, upgraded my Taekwondo, went to the long house and live as a local, saw blue tears, went to the national park, and get to involve in some volunteering.
So many things achieved in my university life, at least all of them is those things I'm interested, looking back and I can never feel better.

Next achieved goal is travel as a local! and by myself!
If going to study alone doesn't counted as travel alone, then I guess this counts!
Went to Taiwan, made lots of great memories there, building friendships and did lots of crazy things. Out of my comfort zone.
Staying at Taiwan for almost two months, the busy city life, the friendly people, well I hope to go somewhere else like this in the future! (tight in budget now to achieve my next adventure lol)

Last one would be this blog I guess.
I will try to record all the simple things in life here, not to give up crawling up here to update (which is the hardest part)
Well the main reason of this blog is actually to remind myself of those simple little things, and get to look back in the future. Thanks for tolerating with my poor English, I hope it can get better, and I somehow wonder is there someone reading this blog except me LOL. If you do exist, don't hesistate to leave a comment or tease my English and my lame life XD

I can't be more grateful to all the things I went through, without support from people around me, I can't achieve so many things, so a huge THANKYOU and I really do wanna give a big HUG to everyone~~~ <3

Turning 19

Hi guys, it's the nineteen me.

I was struggling whether should I pop up here for a post.
Life is hectic, damn hectic, as expected as an engineering student, although just foundation, the workload and the lectures are no joke.

Life is great, but also not that great. Things somehow doesn't go the way I want. I was losing direction, in a way, and I hate that feeling. Being busy never been better, but now I felt there's too much work I can't get my own time, and somehow I wonder if this is right.

In a blink, I'm already here for three weeks, sounds unbelievable for me. Its really a blink, too much things going on, so far I haven't have a weekend off yet >.< (which means I didn't even go to the town yet! Goshhh even I myself can't believe LOL)

How's my birthday? Well never been better, I remembered writing on the schedule, hoping that its a hectic birthday, well it really was! Not only for that day but even for the whole week!
Had class in the morning, after class had a meet up for lunch with someone to talk about the agreement to sign, then thanks my friends in my group for getting me cakes from the Bakery Box haha.

After that again class, then finished my day with an AIESEC workshop, thanks for singing for me, it means a lot! Its been the first birthday not at home and I was telling myself not to expect anything, that night we went out together, but only near the area (NEXT DAY GOT 8AM CLASS) some beer, some chips, some milo (milo tower Lol) some card games, can't be more grateful to you guys for at least make the effort to come out and hang out with me.

Its not any bigbig event, just a small and calm gathering.
Well as a girl, of course I really to hope something big, some presents, some party, some flowers, but nahh being an introvert a shy a quiet one, I guess I don't exist enough. (Admit I was a bit down, since I felt no one really cares), but nahhh not expecting things, so those small effort, means a lot.

ANYWAY, I still need to say a huge thank you to my lovely sister Zoe (of course Thong too) for calling in for the first second of 12am, for the long long post, for wishing me to have a great day, this birthday turned out lovely by those whatsapp text at the end of the tiring day =]

BTW I GAVE MYSELF A HUGEEEE BDAY PRESENT TODAY! A LATE ONE BUT A REAL HUGE AND REAL MEANINGFUL ONE!!!! Will tell in my future blogpost XD

Too much inspiration

Two weeks here I felt like a whole semester.
God knows why I still have time to come up here to blog.

The past two weeks was packed, fruitful, hectic. Everything is coming, taking care of my acaedemic and have fun at the same time is NO FUN.

Too much things going on, I have no time to put an effort to tell here!
Did I mentioned I am now in AIESEC? I joined just because I want to improve my social and communication skills, but ended up gaining and learning beyond that.
Spent the last three days attending LLDS, and its so inspiring, like seriously. We always backed off just because others judgement, we care too much, we sometimes lacks courage. I really did learn a lot and guess will spend some time writing about it up on here.

Another BIGGG thing.
I am Curtin's STUDENT AMBASSADOR for 2016!!!
A very cool name ryte? >< I actually applied at the end of last semester, just trying to get out of my comfort zone, to test how far I can go, to gain more experience. Things went magical and fluffy once I got the place!
Still under training and getting know things, hope to share more exciting stories about it up here!

And also I'm working as secretary for Curtin Bazaar under Student Council.
Meeting so many awesome people and  hope to learn a lot from them! Of course the most important is hoping everything runs well and the event will be a successful one!

Now I guess you understand why my starting two weeks of semester felt like a whole semester XD
Still have some other plans going on that I still can't tell right now. Gahhhh looking forward for everything to hit on me XD as nothing felt better than feeling busy and the feel of accomplishment =]
