I Really Need to Settle Down!!

Week 4 already lo... still not yet settled down le... settle down as in fully in the studying mood...

Monday morning I took the LRT to Wangsa Maju, and then took the taxi to PV10... Nope, no one was awake when I walked in... I happened to woke my housemate up just to ask him to open the main gate for me... because I don't have my key with me... (and I thought they really have woke up much earlier...)

By the time I put my things back to place, washed my bedsheets and clothes, took the dry clothes in and fold them nicely, took the washed clothes out, swept my floor, ate my lunch, washed the dishes... tidy here and there.... That's it! One half day gone!!

What la... that's almost what's happening for many days already... time which can be spent on studying (My 'studying rate' also somehow slower... is it only me or everyone's the same?)

Dunno la...

I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell...

No need to panic, no need to be worry about me... just that I have been having itchy throat and phlegm for a few days now... Yeap, went to a doctor at Prima Setapak yesterday... was given some medications... now feeling better.=)

I'm Just Not That Into the Mood Yet

It's already week 2. Tutorial classes for a few subjects have already started this week. Looks like everything is going to be in full swing in just a few days time (next week)... And yet I still have not really settled yet... not yet into the mood yet. I am pretty sure that it's not because of still having the holiday mood... I think it's just that I have not really fully settled down living in my new place, attending classes in a new place and so on...

Then as the 'group leader' (I won't be one when tutorial classes begin...) I am supposed to give out the notes to those under me and collect money... good thing I am not responsible for photostating them... It can be very troublesome when most of us are not taking the same subject combinations...

Believe it or not, I have not started studying at all, do any tutorial... yeap! Am going to try to kick start the habit this weekend... Hopefully since I am staying back at Setapak this weekend, this will help to make me concentrate on my studies... for the first time after such a long time!!

Two weeks have passed by... two weeks living outside from home with friends... even though they have been staying up all night... I have been able to close my eyes and doze off to sleep early. Early as in just after midnight. =) Yeah, I know. If my parents know that my definition of early is 12 midnight they will scold me gao-gao!! Once they found out I slept late, they would give me a lecture while in the car to campus, from Sunway all the way to PJ!!

Okay, so far I have been taking in one day at a time without much pressure. But I know I have to start my routine cuz if not I will not be able to concentrate on my studies. For the last two sems I made a mistake for not putting myself in the study mood early when the semester begins... mostly because of things that I need to do... Now, there's just not much pressure... even though I know I got tons of things waiting for me to make up for!!

My first week at Setapak

So, as all of you know by now, I am currently staying at PV10, which is a condominium off Jalan Genting Klang in Setapak, KL. Am living in a single room, with my housemates whom are all my Actuarial Science classmates...

First let me talk about my accommodation here at PV10. It was okay la... Most of the AS students also chose to stay here... but the thing is that the food here is a very big problem... only got one mamak and one chinese stall leh... I really cannot imagine myself eating here for the next two years! Luckily one of us most probably will have transport from next year onwards... looking forward to that!=)

First week... yet still have not went to the swimming pool... wanted to go there on Wednesday... pool CLOSED!

Next is classes in Uni... Since we have done away with the fixed tutorial groups thingy... I scared things will get a little bit messy. Of course the first (bad) thing which I found out here is that there is no photostating machine/service provided! Why last time got now don't have one? I know last time got vendor... why can't the university look for one and replace this instead of just leaving it like that? The students have the right to access to facilities such as photostating machines, and not put all the weight to one course rep.... I really pity him, but I don't know how to help since I don't have transport and there's no photostating services near my place... I was so hoping that there are facilities here in Setapak after the hell I have been through at PJ... Urgh...

Today is Friday... going back to Sunway straight after our last lecture finishes at 4pm.

Bought quite a lot of things this last two weeks... wah... $$$ all gone like that... My parents did warn me that my expenditure will be very very high if I were to stay at Setapak, compared with travelling all the way to and fro from Sunway... It's either time or money... can't have both=) I chose time, and I shall not regret it...

I am still HERE!!

Hey everyone=)

After such short yet fast-going weeks have passed by, it's now time for me to start my whole new semester (and life... seriously!) in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur. It's now just about half an hour before my very first lecture of the semester -- Theory of Interest!

Wanted to just sit down and type out about what happened to me during the past few weeks, but I guess I just don't have the time! In a blink of an eye, it's time to 'worry' about what's happening next! (Correction: no worries, I want to just study hard, play hard this semester!!)

Oh for those who still don't know, my semester results last semester...

Urgh!!

Ask me personally if you really want to know what did I get for last semester. All in all, the message that those results are giving me is quite clear.... study SMART!!

Wait, wait... let's talk about what's to come..=)

My aim for this semester? 3.6. Yeap, that's enough to make the Dean's List. I have been 'taught' to sleep late by my classmates last semester... go to McD to study for a 10-mark test.... until 1 in the morning! Hope that's not going to happen again! No last minute thingy...

I really hope that I can organize my time much better this sem, even though by the look at my classes, that's quite hard to achieve, not impossible though.

It's going to be the first time that I am living alone... and when I say alone, I mean it... no more grandma cooking dinner for me... I took a lot of time settling myself during the first few weeks of the new semesters previously... This time I guess that will be a longer period of time.... I really hope that I can be in the study mood as soon as possible.... Guys (housemates), please help this 'kid' out....=)

So, a new life awaits me... As usual, I hope that everything will turn out... well, if not perfect. And I wish I could really enjoy my last two years of my university life... (Urgh... too dramatic aren't I??)
