Pay myPTPTN loan

I finish paying my study loan today. finally I am debt free. my parents ask me to pay it bit by bit but I just want to get it done and over with, the fee you have to pay each month is RM65 for my load with PTPTN and that's a lot of money.

A lot of people are not paying back their loan and the management for PTPTN loan is terrible, the only thing they are good at is counting how much additional money you owe them each month.

I personally feel that I should pay back what i owe. even though I did not pay much (virtually nothing) these past 4 years after i started working but I was not in the infamous Black-list of people that refuse to pay.

This study loan help me a lot during my days in University when i did not have much and my family was unable to give me much. It has help me study in university worry free about money and God know how much my mom reminded me there was no money constantly.

I used to have to work during my university holidays (tuition and as a waiter) and during festivals like Chinese New year I was unable to go back (no$$$) but at least my parents did not ask me to give them money from my study loan.

I am grateful and thankful for what I have been given and now that I have repay all that I owe and hopefully the money will do some good for other students in need of a study loan.

The festival of light happy deepavali to all Hindus out there. celebrated by 10 countries including Malaysia (Wikipedia) Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps"filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. Now that is always a good reason to celebrate.

Holiday in Melaka

was in melaka last Thursday 20/10/2011 for my brothers convocation.
its a great place to visit, with lots to see lots to buy and lots to eat
most of all a lot of pretty girl everywhere you look, I truly think i will be going back again for another visit someday.

convo Utem

My brother is going to attend his convocation this Saturday (22/10/11) in Utem Malacca. city of history, I uses to do my practical in this state so was really looking forwards to a visit but too bad I have to work and can't take a long holiday. during my convo (2007) my parents did not come see it and now after 4 years its my brothers turn and with a little bit more money they will be going to his convocation.

Convo is a big event, some thing to be remembered and it could be the only thing we hold on to about our study days year to come. as a university grad it makes us feel like we have study almost all we can study in our education system (well that is what I feel personally anyway)

Been there done that, so good luck and congrats have fun, enjoy.

will be flying to KL this Thursday and coming back on Monday its short but hopefully it will be a sweet experience.

speaking practice for muet

last week practice for muet speaking(10-13 October). that's me with the stopwatch. it was a very mentally draining and even though I just need to sit and listen but at the end of the day I feel like sleeping as soon as I come home. listening really need you to pay a lot of attention without attention your mind would drift and may not be able to follow the students flow of ideas and their mistake and thus would not be very helpful in giving comment and help them improve their speaking later in the real examination. even though it was mentally draining I did learn a lot from my partner for the speaking task (face not shown) she pick up a lot of things that i was unable and unaware of when students was doing their speaking and it made me a better listener (well that is what i think anyway) so I did learn a thing or two from this week not just the students that came for help but me as well.

Windows-8 vNext

seven and now windows 8 coming next year 2012. now i have not use window 7 that much still using Xp but may feel like using windows 8 if it come out simply because I like the number 8

Light OS Windows 8 has a sleek look with the smooth scrolling and the latest demo and touch function seems to work very smoothly. even faster than Windows XP in many of the results.

Windows 8 (codename Windows vNext) is the next version of Microsoft Windows, if it is named vNext similar to Xp and vista not using number but alphabets, hopefully it will be good as XP not like Vista. if it uses the number 8, I think will be the smarter move. a lot of Chinese may love it because of the number 8. well i will wait and see how things go. I like XP but a change will be nice. I've tried Linux and like it but like most feel more comfortable with windows but that could change if windows fail to be competitive and innovative or Apple become cheaper and ubiquitous or Linux become more user friendly which is quite near right now...who know what will happen but computers are here to stay and it will need good OS and those who can provide it will continued to be rich

visit Labuan my friends and me

Kelly voon , the first friends that actually stayed in Labuan and asked me to bring them around Labuan. its nice to know that my small island is generating enough interest for people to actually want to come and have a visit and maybe revisit again someday. it was fun for me to discover Labuan with them and it was a great 3days of having some friends over to my otherwise quiet lonely weekend.
great time on malaysia day 2011

story

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish”

“Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk.
“I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Poof! She’s gone.

“Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii,relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone.

“OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.

HEllo

There's hell in hello but there's good in goodbye. that's why you shouldn't be afraid of goodbye but careful with the hello.

we will only know the true nature of a person after we have known them for some time.
if time heal all wound. than only time will tell about the people we meet in our life.
I have done my share of knowing people and finding out their true nature after some time and its true you can't judge a book by its cover so be careful of the people you just meet

sad sad news

my ketua Unit lost his Father and Ling my colleague is moving to pahang all on the same day of my class room observation which i feel is planned a bit too short.
LIng will be missed, she is a very cheerful person with great sense of humor who mix well with everyone. hopefully my classroom observation will not end up as a sad-sad news as well.

working on Saturday

When you work, nobody cares..
When you rest, everybody stares!!

Saturday class are always hard on the mind and body. it is the time of rest for most of the week so the body hate to wake up early and the mind is lazy to work. well maybe that is just how i feel. It is so unfair that we have to replace class for Raya but never for CNY. how unfair i have to apply for (CRK )extra holiday and have to replace it afterwords. I don't mind replacing the class just the part where i have to apply for CNY holiday is bothering me. if they do not pass my holiday I have to come to work early and get piss off on how short my holidays are and the process of explaining it all to my parents. you can say(lie) you are sick so you can't come to work but for me the idea of being sick on CNY is so taboo, offensive and wrong! no one want to be sick on new year its the start of the year you don't want to start weak and sick its just bad omen. plus as a teacher we should set examples for our students.I hate students who forge sick -leave letter so no way was I doing it myself.

Saturday class are the worst. believe me
