April 2012, thanks for everything
If only I took the flight home, just for a few days, I'll definitely will be able to be among the 650 mil spectators to watch this match:
not only that, I'd be able to celebrate someone special's big day tomorrow.

Spring Break 2012 Day 10.
The highlight of the day, more precise, evening was when one of ATU 18 student posted photos of Summer Semester 2012 class lists and timetables. So, it was the hottest topic among ATU 18 kids (unsure about ACT5 and ATU 19).
Therefore, ATU 18 classes for Summer 2012 are
Phoenix (Arizona)
Tucson (Arizona)
Wichita (Kansas)
Orlando (Florida. ATU19, majority)
Vineland (New Jersey)
Seattle (Washington)
Richmond (Virginia)
Queens (New York)
I have no idea how the students are distributed into these 8 classes.
While I'm at it and just for the record,
Fall Semester 2011 classes:
Austin (Texas)
Boston (Massachusetts)
Chicago(Illinois)
Denver (Colorado)
Eugene (Oregon)
Fargo (North Dakota)
Glendale (California)
Honolulu (Hawaii)
Irvine (California)
Jackson (Mississippi)
Kearney (Nebraska)
Spring Semester 2012 classes:
Austin (Texas)
Boston (Massachusetts)
Chicago(Illinois)
Denver (Colorado)
Eugene (Oregon)
Fargo (North Dakota)
Glendale (California)
Honolulu (Hawaii)
Irvine (California)
Jackson (Mississippi)
Omaha (Mississippi) (ATU 19)
I guess that's enough of 2nd Grade American Geography for today. Can't wait to start the semester.
Aha, before I forget, meet my new best friend for the semester, besides my new (not so new) classmates.

Just To Pass The Time.
The program was organized by INTEC's Students' Affair department at Dusun Eco Park, Bentong, Pahang (finally I can add another state that I have visited in Malaysia, even though it's just for the weekend).
Starting from the second photo, photos were taken on a hill where the rope bridge starts and leads to somewhere. I have no idea about that since we didn't do any activities using the bridge.
Basically during this camp/program, you don't do much, it's just to release stress and spend more time surrounded by nature. I said so (about the last part of the statement) because you don't even go jungle trekking or take a dip in the stream. For the record, there's no telecommunication line there so, future INTEC students, do well in your studies!
Spring Break 2012 Day 9.
I guess my spring break isn't as productive as it would be if I went back over the seas. No people to be dragged along to go for an adventure with me. ADFPs off for spring break, AUSMATs and A-Levels are busy with their finals preparation so I spent my day somewhere secluded in le residential college.
Went through some (a lot of) photos and videos in my laptop. They really brought back a lot of memories, I can't stop smiling and became a little narcissistic for a while. Now I'm indecisive about which photos that I should share with you, my awesome readers. I guess we'll have to find out later on.
Wishing the best for all INTEC A-Level exam candidates for your finals!
I do hope that this won't happen tomorrow or any other days during your exams.
I had to make some changes since I have to consider that my readers are about of all ages. Sorry.
And an early welcome back and also all the best for Summer Semester 2012 for all ADFPs and ACTPs.
Everyone's talking about The Avengers and my awkward moment where I don't even bother to go watch it. Like I mentioned before, I have no one to drag along to do all those activities, unless I went back over the seas for Spring Break 2012.
Can't do much since school starts on Wednesday. Might as well enjoy this free time while it lasts.

Spring Break 2012 Day 8.
Basically, I didn't do much today but I did contributed to the Bersih thingy. Yup. I bersihed my clothes since I didn't do laundry for 5 days due to camp. Spent the whole morning sleeping while waiting for le laundry and in the afternoon till late evening with le tomes and le internet.
Enough about that. I decided to share part of my experiences before, during and after BTN.
Before going for camp, it was Spring Semester 2012 finals. I rarely had time to search for blogs of previous participants' just to get a rough idea about the whole thing and eventually I found one. Just one blog. Thank you Blogger!
I attended Program Transformasi Mahasiswa Luar Negara at Kem Bina Negara Meru, Klang from 23-27 April 2012 with almost all of INTEC MARA ADFP students, JPA ACTP seniors and JPA ADFP students.
Don't ask me for directions. I'd like to thank INTEC for providing buses to the camp site even though there were some of us who drove and hitch rides and managed to arrive in time.
Sorry, no photos at all since the whole campsite is a protected zone.
Before camp:
We were given a letter from MARA regarding this camp. There were checklists collated with the letter. I spent the day before camp searching proper clothes for the week as I do not want to appear as someone without any credibility.
Requirements:
Formal wear:
Shirts, slacks and black shoes for male participants, baju kurung/ blouses and slacks + black shoes for female participants.
Sports wear:
Collared shirt, trackpants and sport shoes for the former
Long-sleeved shirts, trackpants and sport shoes for the latter.
Nightwear:
Something comfortable but decent, in case of emergencies. The nights really mollify me after a hectic day. It's quite chilly yet comfy, lie natural air-conditioner.
Don't forget other essentials and never fear, you'll definitely receive the same thing as I did together with the letter from your sponsors.
During camp:
Day 1:
The buses from Shah Alam arrived at KBN Meru, Klang after 1400hrs, even though everyone was informed to be at the meeting point by 1300hrs. Well, I'd rather not elaborate further about that matter.
Upon our advern, we left out things outside and assembled in the hall and had a briefing. We were introduced to all of the jurulatihs or I prefer to call them our guardians. Then we were divided into groups of 10-12 people to be in the same room/dorm. We received 1 pack of bedsheet, pillowcase and fleece blanket. I advise you to bring along your pillows as I folded my bath towel as a substitute for my pillow. If you get what I mean.
I ensure that you'll have 6 repasts a day: breakfast, brunch, lunch, teatime, dinner and supper during this camp. you can also go for seconds or more if you are very hungry. Besides, everything has been paid for so, use all the utilities wisely.
That night we had our first lecture aka Wacana Minda 1: Gagasan 1Malaysia-Perspektif Umum in which I find quite interesting since I'm quite ignorant about these kind of matters.
Curfew depends on the last slot of the day, whether it ends early or not.
Day 2:
In the morning we had to assemble and did some marching. Continued with another 3 lectures/speeches:
Wacana Minda 2: Gagasan 1 Malaysia- Ke Arah Negara Maju, Wacana Minda 3: Perlembagaan dan Isu-Isu Semasa, Wacana Minda 4: Sesi Perkongsian Pengalaman.
I find the 4th session seems the best among the other 3 since I was able to relate the whole topic easily compared to the other 3 which seems to be something new (not that new) to me. Despite all that, I gained a lot from all of the 4 sessions.
In the evening we assembled and did some exercises
That night we started with the first PKPK (Perkongsian Keilmuan Peningkatan Kesedaran) session where we met all the facilitators. The first task was Ujian Kepantasan: 17 questions in 4 minutes. All you have to do is scan and skim through all the questions and you'll be able to do it. Next was, as usual, group formation, there were 10 groups and I was in Group 5 and Brother Bob was our facilitator. each group was assigned with one patriotic song which was to be performed during the night before the big day(I'll mention about this in a while). Group 5 was assigned Tanggal 31 song. We didn't meet our facilitators since it was almost curfew.
Day 3:
Had PKPKs, more like class sessions with group discussions about important matters the whole day, plus the morning assembly and evening recreation.
Day 4:
PKPK till evening and for recreation activity was mini jungle trekking, it's actually just a nice stroll in the woods, for 20 minutes with the guide of our guardians. For the night PKPK session each group performed our songs and were assessed based on our vocals, uniformity and feel of the song.
After all the fun, things started to get serious, which to me was expected since I attend quite a lot of camps. I'd like not to elaborate further about that, you need to experience that yourselves. I can say that I was able to relate the whole situation with the situation that our ancestors experienced a long time ago.
Day 5:
The big day. After 4 days of lectures, class and group discussion, we had to sit for an hour,40-question exam based on what we had learned throughout the week. If you pay attention to all the WMs and PKPKs you'll do fine.
I guess I'll stop here just in case I gave too much info about the whole thing. I really gained a lot and this program did increase my awareness about a lot of issues.
I'd like to apologize to Brother Bob on behalf of the group as we tried our best not to fall asleep during class and unfortunately some of us were defeated. I tried various methods to keep myself awake as a respect gesture to Brother Bob and I can say I managed to do so. I guess everyone was super exhausted with the disrupted sleep cycle plus the non-stop activities.
All the best to the next batch who will be attending this camp. Grab this once in a lifetime experience, besides it's one of your sponsor's requirements so you can't do much unless you have super valid reasons.

Spring Break 2012 Day 7.
Greetings beloved readers! I'm back from Kem Bina Negara Meru, Klang for Program Transformasi Mahasiswa Ke Luar Negara by Biro Tatanegara under Jabatan Perdana Menteri. Won't talk much for now since it has been somewhat hectic for the past 5 days. I'm grateful that I gained a lot from that program. Still having second thoughts of sharing my experience here about the whole thing since people have their own stand about a certain matter and they might misinterpret. I'll decide later.
I wonder what did I miss for the past 5 days?
The good news: Summer Semester 2012 starts on Wednesday! Extra 5 days for Spring Break 2012. Whoopdeedoo! Le tomes, I'll be spending quality time with you.
This song just mollifies your soul. I put it on replay whenever I feel tense.

Spring Break 2012 Day 2.
Well, hello there. The second day of spring break is coming to an end. This means that I'm off for another camp tomorrow.
So I spent (a big part of) the day going around the area searching for things for the week. I even dragged along le guardian (and vice versa) for my second round to find things for camp. Thank you le guardian for doing so and letting me chill out at your pad for the evening.
While I was on my way back after buying dinner, I saw vehicles coming to the residential college but I'm grateful and obliged to say that I didn't feel a thing because those kids, whom their parents and family members sent back are having their second semester final examinations next week and I'm on spring breakminus the part where I have to attend camp
As usual, procrastinating to pack and I'm loving my 6 pair of new socks, even though I haven't tried them on.
Therefore, I look forward to come back by the end of the week. All the best to all participants, may we have a great time together and gain a lot of useful things.
P.s All the best to all A-Level exam candidates for your study week. Utilize all the time you have wisely.

Spring Break 2012 Day 1.
Guten tag! Spring semester 2012 has ended and we (ADFPs) are having our 1 week spring break before le Summer semester 2012 starts. The good/not-so-good news is that a group of us will be attending BTN (Biro Tatanegara) on Monday till Friday. Enough of that.
I spent the whole day lazying around since I didn't get to do so for a long time. Unfortunately, I can only do so for 1.5 hours and I started to read the tomes that I bought 10 days ago and did some Spring cleaning. Yay!
So much of calling today was my lazy day.
I hadn't laugh properly for quite some time and this made my day. Don't misjudge me for watching this movie.
For those who haven't watch it, here's something about this scene.
The lady in yellow was insisted by the old lady to chant as a virtue to thank the universe, since the lady in yellow had no idea on what to chant, in the end she started chanting, or rapping/singing, actually, the song that I've heard when I played Need For Speed: Underground on PS2 years back.
P.s I didn't watch this clip since I randomly selected this clip from the list.
P.p.s It may be inappropriate to some viewers.

Blogging In The Dark.
I was about to start with with this post when the power came back. So blogpost title- EPIC fail.
Happy birthday to le blogger, guitarist, neighbor and most importantly, friend. We are now of the same age! Yay! All the best in your journey to make your dreams and imaginations a reality. Thank you for coloring my life.
So, I didn't get to experience blogging in the dark. Well, that's a good thing or else I'll be entertaining myself with the internet instead of utilizing the time during pre-Spring 2012 Finals.

Should I? INTEC UiTM, JPA, MARA, UPU, FORM 6, MATRICS 2012
Greetings people of the Blogger world, and also the internet. Straight to the point. Should I somehow advertise/ give info about International Education College (INTEC) UiTM, Seksyen 17, Shah Alam? Should I do it? or Should I wait for some people to Google it and somehow my blog will appear on page 1 of the search list and they'll comment (asking questions) on any posts on INTEC that I posted last semester? I was in the mood to do so but I was distracted with my new birthday presents that I bought 2 days ago during Devillish Denver's outing with The Voice in KL.
Oops, I digressed-again. Therefore, Should I do it? Since it's the season, where post-secondary school kids go searching for institutions to further their studies and live their dreams.
To be frank, I don't mind promoting INTEC, but Spring 2012 Finals is next week. I do hope I will receive some feedback and I'll try my best to promote INTEC whenever I have the time. I'll be glad and obliged to help you out, no worries, I eat food, not blog readers.
P.s Don't mind the title of this post, it's just anotherscam way to help people out since I have the first-hand experience and I'm willing to share it with the world.

Not going to say much since research paper is seeking for my attention, desperately. I'm thankful that I have no class tomorrow morning.
Yesterday all the way to KL for before-Spring-2012-finals rendezvous with the whole of Devillish Denver and The Voice.
The first-ever class outing, with everyone present. Yay!
Now, I hand over myself to le research paper. Toodles.

On Purpose.
Whenever this song is on in my playlist, I put the volume to maximum level. On purpose. You should try it, with your earphones/headphones on.

Ende gut, alles gut.
Here I am on Blogger, during lunch break and the previous class ended 45 minutes earlier. I was revising a Chemistry topic at my latest hideout. After quite some time, I decided to take a break and blogwalk instead since I can't do so last night due to my recklessness, I left my laptop somewhere in school yesterday. I've learnt my lesson and I'm really grateful that it wasn't harmed by any creatures.
Enough rants about myself. The main reason I created this post is that I visited The Blogger's page and found out that The Blogger is currently experiencing problems with self confidence and feels insecure about that. I do not know why this seems to bother me since I'm an introvert. No matter what, I still dedicate this post to The Blogger. I do hope you awesome readers will bear with me, if you refuse to do so, I won't force you and you may kindly leave my blog and return some other time.
Sorry for digressing. First and foremost, don't misinterpret what I'm going to say/type in a little while.
I'd like to write a response to The Blogger's latest post.
The Blogger, just so you know I don't really know the situation that you are in because I'm not in your shoes. All I can say is, um, let's make it easier for you to understand, I'll extract some parts of 1D's song lyrics. I do not own anything; the song or the lyrics.
You're insecure
Don't know what for
You're turning heads when you walk through the door
Don't need make up
To cover up
Being the way that you are is enough
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That what makes you beautiful
So c-come on
You got it wrong
To prove I'm right I put it in a song
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your eyes
Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you
Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it aint hard to tell
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know
You don't know you're beautiful
That's what makes you beautiful
A song's worth more than millions of words.
I do hope that I'm able not only to make you feel great about yourself but to be frank, it's the truth.
This post may seem trivial but I don't know what's up with me, that I was willing to take the time to create this blogpost instead of resuming my revision. Wow.
Now, to decide whether to reveal myself and let The Blogger know about this post.

The New Chapter.
So, it's my 19th birthday! Alles gute zum Gerburtstag, #8!
It's my first time celebrating this event away from home, never mind that.
Actually, I don't know where to start or on what to rant about.
I'm grateful I felt more love today and no surprises. I prefer that since I didn't want to burden anyone. The most important thing is, no birthday pranks! But I will still keep my guards up.
I may be right about that fact.
But to be polite and be considerate about people's feelings,
A very sincere THANK YOU for all the gifts, time spent, birthday wishes ( via phone call, text message, tweets and etc) and everything. It really means a lot to me. THANK YOU for coloring and making my life more meaningful.
I'll behave well.
I still think being 19 is a lot younger than being 18. Why? Everyone makes a big deal when they/ their friends turning 18, something about being legal and stuff. To my humble perspective, being legal is when you turn 21, which I think is true.
Families, teachers, partners-in-crime, friends, acquaintances, thank you for being in my life and making it more meaningful. I really appreciate your presence and I pray for your safety, success and happiness.
I remembered experiencing ,my first ever birthday surprise 365 days ago. Good times.
Physics test 2 tomorrow. Will try my best to reply all le birthday wishes as soon as possible.
This song really made my day. Thank you, le partner-in-crime.

B-Fever.
The B doesn't stand for B the singer who has millions of fans. Never mind that.
I've already logged out of every social network that I joined. Just to restrain myself from being hyped up due to that "fever".
Less than hour before I become the superstar for a day. I don't know what to feel since I never experience this situation for the past 18 years (where I used to be during this period of time, safe in my haven with people I care so much)
I thought of doing something diabolical, just to see who's real and who's not. But I decided not to since it might be unfair to my new friends. It's not that I'm desperate for fame or anything. It's just the fact that I respect and care for them to let them know about one of my important days in my life.
Since I'm not good in impromptu speeches or right now typing/monologue-ing, I'll hit the hay.
I'm not switching off my mobile tonight. I want to find out who wins the race when the clock strikes 0000hrs.
Farewell (in advance) 18th year of breathing, existing,(and more) in this world.
Guten abend, don't let the bed bugs bite!

Speech Week: Fin.
Week 14/16's over! No more speeches for this semester. I've been waiting for this moment. Despite the fact that I despise public speaking (before and maybe a little now) but I'm glad I had to take USEL 23: Speech Communication this semester. It really taught me a lot.
Compared to last semester (USEL 13: Oral Communication) last semester's activities for that course are more fun. Let me recall what I did last semester. Hmm.. Let's see. Radio Drama, role play, campaign project. I guess the term "presentation" makes the whole situation less daunting when compared to the usage of the term "speech".
It's the mindset. I always imagine a person talking in front of a large audience or the principal giving their speech during the weekly assembly: where everyone stares and give full attention to you in the beginning and in the end they get tired of you.
I shall not rant further in case I might experience the same situation which I mentioned earlier. All in all, USEL 23 is super imposing, especially with le lecturer. Le lecturer is just amazing, with all the dramas, acts and all.
Tick Tock. Watch out for the clock. Wow, it rhymes.

Now I Know.
Finally Week 14/16 a.k.a Speech WEEK (in my opinion) has ended. I presented my research essay progress report earlier this morning. My topic was/is Genetically Modified Foods (as I studied that topic in English for Science and Technology 3 years ago, why waste all the knowledge I had already acquired?)
The others presented their topics such as hacking (for good purposes, I'm serious), men's relationship with gadgets, brain drain, organ donating, and the topic which really caught my attention was about Introverts.
Now I know, I'm one of them. It may seem cliche and all but it is the truth. Don't believe me? Well, too bad. I know myself better than other people do. I've been searching the most suitable word that really describes me as a person (besides impassive) and voila! I proudly announce that I am indeed an introvert.

Definition: Contrary to what most people think, an introvert is not simply a person who is shy. In fact, being shy has little to do with being an introvert! Shyness has an element of apprehension, nervousness and anxiety, and while an introvert may also be shy, introversion itself is not shyness. Basically, an introvert is a person who is energized by being alone and whose energy is drained by being around other people.
Introverts are more concerned with the inner world of the mind. They enjoy thinking, exploring their thoughts and feelings. They often avoid social situations because being around people drains their energy. This is true even if they have good social skills. After being with people for any length of time, such as at a party, they need time alone to "recharge."
When introverts want to be alone, it is not, by itself, a sign of depression. It means that they either need to regain their energy from being around people or that they simply want the time to be with their own thoughts. Being with people, even people they like and are comfortable with, can prevent them from their desire to be quietly introspective.
Being introspective, though, does not mean that an introvert never has conversations. However, those conversations are generally about ideas and concepts, not about what they consider the trivial matters of social small talk.
Introverts make up about 60% of the gifted population but only about 25-40% of the general population.
