Taylors' OIC Camp 2011

As everyone knows, the first semester holiday has started. I came across with the OIC Camp....(Oh, I seeeee!) flyers when I first visited the campus with the school trip few weeks back. Yeah, it caught my attention when one of my friends passed me the flyers and I kept it just in case if i really want to join this camp. I browsed through the website page and decided to register for this camp. There were a few options to pick from. From fashions to science-based choices. Everything is interesting.

I picked Psychology 101. This is the only workshop which had caught my attention after all.

Registered myself at the general counter at 10am and headed to the Taylors' Lakeside Campus Gym Area. Yeah, the camp was held at Taylors' Lakeside Campus. It was so huge that one can actually get lost if walks alone and unfamiliar with the new place. Ice-breaking was the first activity we had on the day. We were given a piece of paper, we called it "HUMAN BINGO". Each boxes was filled up with interest/hobby. So, we had to walk around asking people to sign on that particular column if they practices the interest/hobby. This doesn't work out well as every of us was trying to persuade each another to sign on that column in order to hand in the paper in that limited time. It was fun approaching people, I learned to be more sociable to mix around with people whom I do not know them at the first sight.

Anyhow,the following activities was plain-awesome, fits in perfectly with the main theme of the camp-AWESOMENESS. Since there were too many participants which hit up to 400 students from north,south,east,west of the Klang Valley, we were separated into Group1 & Group2. Group1 headed to each respective workshops, whereas group2 started off with The Amazing Race. I was in the Group2. I wasn't looking forward to this game, because we need to race around the campus while going through 5 station games.  Surprisingly, it turned out amazing and yeah, AWESOME! My group name is "I Have No Idea?!" I was in a group where the people were mostly from PJ and Subang. I mixed around well. They were just too friendly to be friends, you know. I'll just skip off the station games session, but the games were fantastic and it requires team work.

Here comes my long-waited workshop of the day. Psychology 101. Yeah, you might be wondering why did I ever pick this workshop. Do you think I like mixing around with Psychos? Or perhaps I'm more on the emotional person? It simply caught my attention to deal with emotions stuff. So, I entered the classroom with the companion of one of my schoolmates. Now, the lecturer came in. He is a tiny young man who teaches Introduction in Psychology in SEGi College if I'm not mistaken.

The 3 major things which we focused on during the class was Sex, Love and Relationships. Its basically the 3 things which teenagers always encounter in their lives. All we talked about was related to the comparisons between the people in the olden days and in the modern era. So there I learned the 5 major personality traits. You can called it behaviors, emotions, characteristics and so on.

These are the Fives:
i) Extraversion- Its also the same as extroversion. Just take on the example. If a person calls you an extrovert, you definitely know that you're an outgoing person, a more sociable and being friendly with the surrounding.

ii) Neuroticism- Have you ever heard about a neurotic person? Neuroticism is a personality traits which a person always encounters the negative states about everything. He/she tends to feel nervous, depression, stubborn and so on about everything. He/she has low self-esteem every time.

iii) Conscientiousness- Its the traits of being conscientious, being responsible and reliable on everything they do.

iv) Openness to experience- Openness often involves active imagination, attentiveness to inner feelings, intellectual curiousity and so on. They would do anything they like, being a very open-minded person. For instance, when your friend invited you to go for bungee jumping, you would join them along without further hesitation.

v) Agreeableness- This is like the movie, "YESMAN". The tendency to agree or to be pleasant with anything fulfill their satisfactions and thats how they could be postive minded,willingly cooperate with others in anything they do.

So yeah, there you go. The 5 Big Personality Traits in psychology.

Next, we were asked to do a psychology test. Surprisingly, the lecturer said the results from us were the weirdest results he have gotten so far. Never once did he received such weird results. With the scale of 1-5, we have to rate the personality, physical appearance, wealth, age and the numbers of partners of our future spouse. The girls were normal, yet the lecturer said the guys were cheating on the results. Apparently, the guys in the class looked very much innocent. No Offence. :)

The talk was fabulous, you know. He taught the guys the ways to tackle girls. He spoke about his own experiences which some I think were quite true in some guys I've met. In the end of the lesson, he talked about the love theories in the relationships between a pair of couple. There are 2 basic types of love, The Passionate Love vs Compassionate Love. Let me tell you, compassionate love between the couples is far more enduring and long-term compared to passionate love. Check out more on Love Theories :)

Well, this only cover up a very tiny, small part of psychology. Yet, it was amazingly fascinating. The Amazing Race and this workshop were the 2 great activities of the day. A very good starting of my semester1 holiday.A big thank you for Taylors' for the "AWESOMENESS OHHHH I SEEEE CAMP!" :)

This is The Amazing Race group- "I Have No Idea?!". We won the best team of all. :)

Do you know why do guys are attracted to girls with curves? 

The lecturer called them lame and boring answers.This is the scientific answers.

It is because.........

Women with big breasts can carry more milk and women with wider hips can bear the weight of a baby and more fertile.  

The Five Things

"Hey, when are you updating?","Your blog has been quiet for some time, what's up?". Yeah, call me a reluctant blogger, i'm certainly not an active blogger.

Life has been challenging this year. No doubt, apart of my life is painted with colourful memories, memorable footprints and much laughters from the closed ones. 

 For the five years of my secondary school life, I've never been as active as I was in my primary school. I took part in most of the activities or competitions in school, I was a class monitor for 6 years, I was also a prefect in my primary school and hold a post in the prefect board. You might be curious about how do I get to hold 2 posts which include class monitor and prefect at the same time. Yeah, all the teachers had given me full trust as a responsible person.I did my job well, I cared for my friends around me, I helped and greeted teachers every time I see them. I love to volunteer in helping teachers or to volunteer myself as a representative for any competitions held in school. I was that active in curricular activities. Yet, on the next level of school life, I wondered if I realised that I've changed a lot. Although you might still named me as a responsible and good person, but deep down in my heart, I know I have a lot more to improve. 

Ever since last year, I always had a dream to run for school's cross country for my final year of secondary. Yes, I talked to people around me that I want to win a medal for the school's cross country. In the beginning of this year, there was an announcement about the participation in the cross country district level(MSSD). So, this was where I made my decision to take part in this run. It might be a little too difficult for a beginner runner like me to race with all other good runners, yet, I still made my choice to be part of the participants. I made it to the competition but return empty-handed as I did not expect myself to come back with a medal. I thought the injury I had during my training would be fully recovered in a few days time, and I thought I would be able to participate and run for the win for school level cross country. Yes, I thought......Frankly speaking, I was disappointed with myself for not being able to take part in the school cross country. Apparently, I stared blankly while the prize giving ceremony was going on. To look at the bright side, I should consider representing school in MSSD as a compliment for my inability to take part in the school cross country.

The Valentine's Day, 14.2.2001. Valentine's Day of this year was not on the perfect day like last year's as it was perfectly fell on the 1st day of CNY last year. So, a great party for "The Singles" was held in Jasmine's place. The first party for "The Singles", I had throughout the 17 years of my life. I'd agree much if we plan it again next year if we're still a single lady. Oh well, at least we have friends around as our partners of the Valentine's Day when all the couples in every corner of the world are celebrating their candle-light valentine's dinner. They can have candle-light dinner, then "The Singles" can have a barbeque party to rock at home with a bunch of single buddies. Not that bad, right? We wouldn't feel isolated and lonely at the same time when a group of "Singles" crack jokes and laughters throughout the day. Eventually, we can still make our day better and not being jealous of the couples. When the time comes, everything will be fated.

Chinese New Year was a week away after the MSSD cross country. I know I am very much delayed for the CNY update in my blog. I always consider it as one of the festive seasons that I love the most and I would miss the most after the 15th day. I love gatherings, I love gamble, I love new clothes, I love cookies, I love ba-gua and most importantly, I love ANG-POWS. Gatherings with family is the most precious time during CNY. Gambling is always one of my love during Chinese New Year. It is not a must for all people to buy new clothes for CNY. In my point of view, I think people tend to take advantage on CNY as the opportunity to buy as many new clothes they like. Visiting houses to houses can be fun and excited. Compared to the previous years, I did not visit much this year as I was and am still limping like a disabled person. The amount of ANG-POWS I've received will forever be the top priority that makes me love CNY much. :)

Come to the last and recently happening issue in my school. Well, this issue is that my forever beloved history teacher was practically being sacked. I couldn't believe the words when one of my friends told me that she'll be leaving this Friday, which is today. She served for the school for 16 years since August,1996 yet she was sacked out of school for the reason of voicing out her opinions for the dissatisfactions on student's rights. It was a great disappointment for having such a politic problem in school. Yes, she might be hated by some students for her attitude, but i'm sure her departure will be a big loss to every students in school. It was such an unexpected incident, yet, it happened. I would like to share the stories that she have shared with us in the class. Indeed, it is rare for a teacher to talk about her lifetime experiences with students. The moment when she entered the class to make her farewell speech, I could not accept it. The tears were rolling in my eyelids.None of these days we greeted her "Selamat Pagi, Cikgu" in such a loud pitch but on this Thursday. The stories were very long, and I would not type it words by words in my blog. Yet, there are a few great values that I've learnt from this incidence and some are from her experiences in life. A person can only succeed in life when they have strong principles hold on with them. Just like her, her ambition was to be in broadcasting field. In those days, she was very sure that her interest to become a successful woman in broadcasting field. She enjoyed her life while being in RTM and the experiences she had with all her colleagues were priceless and precious. Yet, when she decided to give up in broadcasting field and sacrificing her ambition for her loved ones, she went for a tutor course. Thus, she is now a teacher in STAR school for 16 years till now. She has zero knowledge of Malaysia History when the principal in school told her that the only subject left for her is History, more commonly known as Sejarah. Sejarah is not her subject, instead she was a top Geography student back then in her age. So, she made her decision and try to take up this subject as she was left with only one option. She started her life as a Sejarah teacher with zero knowledge about Sejarah, and now she is a very dedicated Sejarah teacher in every student's heart.I always considered her as one of the best and respected Sejarah teacher in my 5 years of secondary life. There are some experiences are meant to be forgotten, but not the ones we had with you for the past 1 year and 3 months. Thank you for the memories. Lesson Learnt: Be thankful and appreciative before its too late.

Our last moment with her,

5 SCIENCE 1....... (2011)

The Girls.....

Bunny or Rabbit? Gong Xi Fatt Chai.

Say "HI" to the Rabbit.......

Air and sound pollution is happening everywhere in Malaysia. Oh yeah, the world. Its just like the world war III is starting but hey, this is CHINESE NEW YEAR. I simply love the atmosphere. The popping sound of fire crackers, the laughters from the relatives, the red ANG POWS from people I loved, the nasty smell of firework, the lanterns hanging high up in the sky, they are my ♥. 

 . 

Happy Bunny Year to everybody. 

May the year of Rabbit brings you happy moments, good health and great fortunes for the year ahead. :D

Are you ready?

CNY Mood: Loading........

Yes, I'm indeed not ready for the Chinese New Year.
I love cookies, but I'm forbidden to eat now. Because I'm having sore throat.
I love mandarin oranges, I'm again forbidden to take even a small piece of it. Because I'm coughing for days already.
I love Ba Gua, I'm not allowed. Because it is heaty and my immune system is "not in the mood" now.
Is this going to be my fortune this year?

No, keeping my fingers crossed......

HAPPY CHINESE RABBIT YEAR!

 兔年快乐！

:D

How's life?

So, question of the day. How's the beginning of 2011?

Peeps, I apologize to those who drops by very often to this dusty and rusty little journal of mine and I sort of guessed that your expression at that particular time was "this lady is being too reluctant and lazy to update her blog again......" Did I guess it correctly? Yes, I did. I enjoy reading friends' blog, I enjoy reading articles from websites, I enjoy stalking people, but do you know I'm being a not-so-hardworking lazy "bum bum" to post something up to this little journal. 

The very first month of 2011 is coming to an end in 3 hours time.Time passes so quickly that I smell the scent of SPM is soon to be here instead of Chinese New Year.*smack myself*. No, I had a very great starting of 2011. To be exact, I've grown up a lot.

Number 1:

3rd of January-I was delighted, excited, happy, joyful,etc... because it was the first day of school for my final year in high school. Yes, I'm looking good and confident on the very first day. As usual, I used to ask help from friends to get me a *lucky* place since I was in primary school till now. So, this year was not an exception, I asked help from my classmates again. I thought I was fortunate and lucky enough to get a nice place when I get into class.... "I thought............". So, I was indeed *lucky* to get a place right at the corner back of my class. That doesn't make my day as you know sitting at the back has its disadvantages compared to the front. As I wandered around during the day, I told myself I've to get used to it no matter what and I tried to look at the positive side because I was "destined" to sit at the back this year. At least I've a big bunch of friends around me and they are all friendly peoples. :)

Number 2:

12th of January- It was Wednesday. I would literally give a "sigh" expression on every Wednesday because I dislike wearing PBSM uniform to school. So, this year the school implemented new rules that every students have to stay back until 5pm on Wednesday according to the Co-curriculum schedule set by the teacher. Yes, I would say this is a good way to encourage every students to go for outdoor activities and learn extra knowledge and gain experience through all kinds of activities as well. Lets skip this. I managed to get into my favourite club of all-Charity Club, and be part of the members of Kelab Olahraga & Merentas Desa this year.The important ones is left behind, I was elected to be the President of Charity Club this year and I'll set reasonable targets and achieve them one by one. *Grins*

Number 3:

We, the pupils of 5S1, were being active and cooperative this year to decorate the class board. Although it is just a simple decorated board, but this is so much better than the empty board we had last year. The fun we had, the jokes we cracked, the joy we enjoyed can never be described in words. :)

Number 4:

For the last two weeks, I spent most of the days going for Cross-country training in school as well as Taman Rakyat. This is my first time and it could probably be the last time for this training. I learned and gained experiences from this training. You must have been wondering, "Are you sure you can run?" when you came to this number. My parents asked me the same question too. Yes, I can run. Everyone does, right? Its all rely on the determination and confidence one has. Since this is my last year of high school, I decided to try out something new to make this year a memorable ones. For a beginner like me, it was indeed a hard time for me to train to go for long-distance. I faced problems, obstacles hit, low self-esteem, lose confidence easily and I'm not strong mentally and physically in the very beginning. I injured my knee, I injured my quadriceps muscles, my nerve on my thigh got injured too, and I had sore throat two days before the real cross-country competition. I almost tried to give up on the competition day before the race started. The pain was unbearable especially when I'm running. I walked abnormally too. That was basically what happened throughout the whole 2 weeks until now. I'm still walking abnormally now and I've been to 3 doctors so far. Taking medicines is my hard time now. I've to take so many tablets each day for the recovery of my leg. But,facing it with a smile everyday seriously makes my day better. :D

This is what I've to do for every 4 hours according to the traditional doctor.

Number 5:

Loads of photos were taken during this whole two weeks of cross-country training. So, let the pictures do the talk and you'll know how much fun we had throughout the training. :)

 Aww, they take nice photos when I'm not around.  I missed. :(

Say HOORAY, we finished the race and our school managed to grab 3 medals. 

I

I'm not supposed to jump due to my injury. So, now you know how stubborn I am and I was! 

 One Malaysia. One Race. :D

Loves, 

Jing

The wonderful end of all. HAPPY NEW YEAR :)

As soon as we can see, today is the final day of 2010. Yes, 2 more hours before we tear down the calender and start partying for year 2011.

31st Dec '10, this marks the final date of the year. Yeah, the year has come to its end. I'm not surprising though because I felt time was moving fast throughout the whole year. Hours by hours; then it makes it a day. Months by months; and a year with 12 months and 365 days is formed. Never once, I have a thought that time was moving as fast as this year. Probably I had a very great 2010? No wonder people always say happy moments are short. I couldn't agree more on this quote. 

I feel relieved as the year is coming to an end. Its not that I'm undergoing too much pressure this year, its not that this whole year had been a big disappointment to me. It feels so much different when I realised I've grown up so much in just a year time. Indeed, I've been through heaps of ups and downs this year. I've learnt to learn from mistake instead of making complaints about how harsh my life had been treating me for this 12 precious months. 12 months and 365 days passed in just a blink of an eye. 

People around me giving me advices and more advices for me throughout this year. I've received tonnes of them but I have not been written all those advices and learn from them. I might have forgotten some; yet I know I'll flash back either one of them as time move forward. I really do appreciate everything I've received in this year. They changed me to become a better person. They made me feel great when I read them. That is the reason my mailbox and handphone inbox is always full with messages that I never want to delete them. Those messages seem to be very precious for me, not the sender's name. Advices are meant to be learnt, we learned from advices. That is where our maturity comes from. 

I've been to countdown once in my lifetime. I'm not suited to be in messy and crowded environment for celebration like this. So, I will still prefer to stay in peaceful places like seaside, room, hills, and the best place is HOME. The feelings is just different. You feel calmness,undisturbed and peaceable at the same time while enjoying the popping sound of fireworks colouring up the sky. 

Last but not least, 

May this New Year be filled with abundance of opportunities and full of joyfulness throughout the year. It'll definitely be a special and sparkling one for me, I Believe! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Lets wave our hands to 2010 and say HI again to our new calender, 2011!

Shopping is good for ladies.

So yeah, its December. I was reluctant to update my blog due to the reason that there are some problems happening in my blogger password. I need to change my password every once I signed in. I couldn't sign in using my old password, instead I need to reorganize my password through some steps which I'm lazy to do so.

Well, The fact is year of 2011 is approaching, so why not take a look at the bright side that we're soon celebrating CNY, instead of cracking our brain to make next year a harsh year.

I had a very good start of December, the end of year again...

I woke up as early as 6.30am today and get myself washed up before I've to go out. Pay a visit to my school early in the morning just to collect my result slip for End Year test. I wasn't looking forward to collect. Since my mum had been asking me for countless times about my results, I made my decision to collect it from school. My results were okay, but I'm so much dissatisfied with my percentage marks. Forget about it and the only thing is to work hard. So yeah, "Play Hard, Work Hard". 

Had a marvelous and fabulous day with my gang of bestie(s). They are simply AWESOME. 

So yeah, first picture of the day.....

Headed to cinema for a movie. It was unexpectedly a hilarious movie of the founder of Facebook, the social networking website. For more information about the movie, visit HERE! :)

Loitered around Aeon after the movie to get some nice clothes for CNY. In the end, I still managed to get myself one top at Nichii. Oh yeah, I love plenty pieces of clothes in the shop. Hang on, I still have to control myself from buying since my mum wasn't with me. Yeah, CNY shopping should be started since its 2 months away from now.... Let the picture do the talk. :D

They are all from NICHII.

FYI, I bought this. I love the back portion of this dress. 

Me lovey! But my mum said it doesn't look nice in a way. So yeah, I gave up!

Opppssiie, I love this more than the others. This was captured to show my mum how pretty is this dress but it was expensive.

So yeah, I bought this top. It looks pretty fine on me. Yeah, the second piece of CNY clothes.More to gooooo.... :)

Only if I have money to shop until I drop, I would have bought all of them. This is comfortable. I love the design and the colour. Yet, I didn't take it back home :(
