Ordeal???

Today is my first day to attend classes in UiTM... This is my new life... A new chapter of my life... Turn out the starting of the chapter is a tough one... 


Part 1
This morning I had to leave room early just to have a peak on my schedule... I was suppose to get it last Thursday but I went back to Ipoh too early so can't... So there I was, on the way to the building which is few kilometers away by walking... So I thought it might be faster to take the 'Batu Caves' stairs... So I was right... When I got to the building I was really shocked... So much ( many ) people... But I had to do what I had to do... Rushed into the sea of people t have a glimpse of the paper... It was so hot that my shirt was practically soaked... So one part was over which is to see which class I belong to... Next, the schedule... Even worse... But somehow I manage to persuade myself to just line up like everybody else... three quarter away, I noticed something weird... At the paper it wrote 'Fakulti Asasi Kejuruteraan'... What!!!!!!!! I seriously thought I've wasted my time there... So I went out of the crowd and give my friend a call... And not surprising, he said the line i was in was the right one... Only thing the wrote it differently... I was like what???!!!!! ugh... But luckily, God helped me and show me a path... Literally a path... lol... So I dashed and got in front of other people... So happy... But not for long... Still people were shuving real hard... No matter, I was there already... So I took
 down the schedule for the first day... Thank God my first class starts a bit late... Without delay I went out of that 'Hell on Earth' in one piece, soaked... After everyone had entered their respective class I went back to jot down the schedule for the whole week... DONE!!! Yay... 


Part 2
Class time... My first time going for a lecture... Kinda excited... But when I entered the hall, it was so hot... The air conditioning system was not functioning... What???!!! Luckily it was 9.30 in the morning so it wasn't very hot... To my liking, the lecturer gave us an early leave since it was the first time class... Yay... Next, I need to find my tutorial room... This was really hard... ok now, imagine... I climb a flight of stairs... Three-storeys high just to be disappointed that it was not there... So I went down, by the stairs also... Met my friends and had our early lunch... It got really frustrating when they say the room is there only thing it's on the fifth floor... sigh... Fortunately, a new friend was suppose to go there too so we agreed we would go together... So there I was in the tutorial room... Again the air conditioning system was not working... I mean, what is wrong with this place???!!! It's new so why is everything not functioning... sigh... That aside... The tutor didn't came... Sad, so I just left the room and went to the library since the next lecture was hours away... Had to climb stairs again.... I could go on further but I think I should stop and summaries today's activity...


wake up > bathe > struggling to get my class and schedule > enter lecture > having a hard time finding my tutorial class > early lunch > tutorial class > library > hot lecture hall > climb 200 plus stairs > went back to my room > sleep > wake up > pray > blog... lol

Specs.... hmmm...

Update time... haha... Last week I went to the clinic to have a medical check up... No, I won't be revealing any info but one... My left eye vision is quite bad... The doctor told me I probably need SPECS!!!!!! I know my left eye is not as it used to be but i'm a bit sceptical about wearing a specs... Never in my mind that I thought I need a specs to aid me in my daily life... So i took the doctor's advice and went to the optician t have my eye checked... True enough my left eye is damage but not to the point I need to wear a spec... Thank God... haha... Turn out its astigmatism... Flash or silau for those who don't know what that means... He told me that I might have difficulties in class when looking at the white board, but i'm ready to take the risk... I know once you wear specs, your eye won't get better... Seeing I'm determined in deterring the dreaded specs, he gave me some advice that I ought share with everyone... Here goes...


1 )  When watching tv, studying or using the pc DO NOT lay down on the lazy chair... Instead, sit...    Sitting promotes better blood circulation to the eye...

2 )  DO NOT read in the dark...


Nothing much but I think if you keep hold to these practices you can guarantee a healthy eye for years to come... Just keep in  mind that now we can see and appreciate the wealth of sight and beauty of God's grand creation, the world... Once we loose this privilege, we won't be enjoying all this... Remember, no use crying over spoiled milk...

FOOD!!!!!

Been a while since I last updated my blog... Last time I put up a voting poll on what I should write about and the result was resounding... FOOD!!!! haha... 


Ok... How many of you live to eat?? Yeah, me too... haha... But eat to live??? Not much huh?? I'll start by stating some facts about food that we should eat on daily basis... Ok, in Malaysia we have rice as our staple food... Fair enough, but be reminded that rice is a carbohydrate and it can be fattening if taken excessively... A doctor once advised my mum to only take a scoop of rice... Its actually enough to support you till lunch or dinner... We Malaysians are so used to eating rice that we just have to have alot of them but its not really necessary...


Protein!!! Girls best food companion?? Beats me... lol... Anyhow, protein is needed for growth and repair purposes.. So if you got a cut or want to grow bigger just pack some hard boiled egg in your lunchbox and you're on your way... haha... A professor told my teacher that we should start the day by having an egg just to kick-start our day... An egg is all you need to survive the energy demanding period before lunch time... 


Ok, I could continue with other food classes but I think thats not what you people would want... Am I right?? So, I'll move on... 


Ever wonder what our international dish is?? The Singaporeans have Chicken Rice... Thailands have their Tom Yum Goong... Indonesians have Nasi Padang... What about us??? Well, to me I think its extremely hard to make up your mind and pinpoint which one deserve the reputation... I mean come on... So (much) good food... How can you decide?? haha... Thats a rhetorical question by the way... So I thought of using the voting poll one again to clarify this issue... Hope you guys can lighten your fingers and press that left click and VOTE!!! haha... I just love the voting poll... haha


But what are the nomination you might ask... Well, I think since Malaysians are consist of different race and thus have our own food I decided to take one food from the 3 main races such as :




The finger-licking-good nasi lemak...






The simple yet tasty roti canai...





The ever so popular Char Kuey Teow...



So what are you waiting for??? Head to the same corner and start voting... haha
