Hi,

I did not blog for several days now, i was out of singapore for holiday at Genting Highlands. It was a super duper, extremely wonderful experience as this is my first trip out of Singapore with some of my friends on a free and easy tour.

We meet several familiar faces in Genting and some of my relatives. However, the sad thing is that none of us brought along our camera else i will be able to post some of our funny picture in my blog.

Stay tuned, i will blog about my trip tommorrow. It is a long and fun trip so it cannot be explain and describe in such a short blog, thus it will takes a few days for me to explain everything in details! LOL.

Hi,

I did not update my blog for quite sometimes because I am having a major exam which ended TODAY! Horray! Anyway, after the exam we went for a steamboat dinner with some group of friends and chatted a lot about school and our trip to genting highland.

In the end we went to visit Daniel Yam shop to help pei di pick her bride maid costume. So after a while we ended up at I forget what shop name is that and I did a stupid thing. Try out some hat and took picture with me and some friend in those hat.

Here are the picture.

Hi fans,

I am blogging again today. I am preparing for my semester final exam, lot of lectures notes, exam paper and exercise to complete in just 10 days. I wondered if I am able to finish it on time. I have finish reading and studying for my financial accounting which constitute twelve topics and done exercise up to exercise five going to exercise six now. I think it is quite unbelievable that I finally know (enlightened) to do my financial since I failed this module last semester and re-taking it today.

I finish an exercise about 1 hour, and I did like four exercises now, so I studied for four hours. I wondered if I can use such a long time to finish a question. I think there are about seven to eight questions for this module and the duration of the exam is three hours. From my calculation, it is about 3X60/8 = 22.5mins per question. It is like ¼ of the time I took to complete an exercise.

Well, I still have about nine more topic exercise to complete, so what I am going to do is to do a topic exercise everyday. And I might still have one more day to revise everything before exam. Each day an hour for financial accounting, keep the teacher away forever. So in the meantime, I will prepare for my other three subjects.

I think I will start preparing for my organization business module since it is the next difficult subject in my list. The rest are buyer behaviour and market research and these two modules still have extra four days in between the break to study. These two subjects are also one of the easy because from teacher’s tips buyer behaviour only need to study like two to three topic and market research is rather technical and boring. All I need to do is to REMEMBER!

It is a tiring day since I studied like more than 8hours today. I start at 4pm to now about 1am. Now my nose hurt because I am wearing my spectacle for more than 8hrs and I am starting to get headache and tired after wearing it for such a long time. I hate spectacles, neither do I like contact lens. From what the optician told me, I have super dry eyes, so wearing lens I also cannot wear for very long period of time.

Anyway to my YouTube Subscriber, thank you for subscribing to me and I hope I can bring you more great and exciting TV series. I do not have the time to upload so much TV Series even though I am watching it.

I have been chasing TV series like House m.d, Ghost Whisperer, CSI, numb3r, Bones and many more including anime. Sorry about it, but I hope to come out with something on my own if possible.

To my pre-genting/KL tour mates, please decide on the location and amount so I can start saving up to go for this tour. It is quite troublesome sometimes, but well it would be a great trip since it is the first time I ever go out with my friends and boyfriend on holiday.

That all for today! Good night

Hi Fans of all section,

I have not posted for quite sometimes because of my hectic lifestyle as I am having project fever, Ghost Whisperer Shiver and exam fever. I am using my friend's laptop to do some blogging while they are buying lunch.

Topic of the day is what to do during holiday?

I think most people are going to stay at home like I did the past few year because:

1: no money
2: too tired
3: too lazy
4: no time
5: friend too busy
6: working

This are all the fews reason why people usually stay at home during holiday, I think some people can still think of even more reason for staying at home, hope it wouldn't be that lame.

What my plan for holiday? I am still planning so once I have finish planning, then I will post again. Blog next time! =)

To my YouTube fans,

Thank you for all the comments you posted in my Youtube account. Please rate if possible and hopefully there will be more tv series and if possible movies uploaded soon. I will be uploading new series Justice. So stay tuned.

To my tinyredbean blog fans,

I am sorry that this week i have not written a lot of posting because i am very busy with my own real life like school and projects. So hardly write anything. Anyway, i will be writting about my project incidents that we have and some HUMOUR we chat about. It is so funny, so keep tagging abt my tagbox.

To my BF project mates,

I know you guys must be busy doing your own task. But remember to take care and have some break else i think it would be stressful. Anyway, please remember to stay for your BF exam that is on 4th OCT 2006.

From news, joanne and jane (J & J) will be editing the whole BF project. Cat will be doing the touch up of the website and i think i can bring CD for you all to burn. Mr Yap also replied us that the environment part if can add then add if it does not affect our word count, so what me and peidi feel is, environment part is not that long and thus we have added into our report. I feel that we should keep to 4k to 4.2k words because Mr Yap will not be marking the paper so i think it would be safer to keep it to +- 10%

Here is some of my contribution for my part for our project.

To tinyredbean blog fans,

My apologize again because I am going to side track the story from previous posting. This is because today there is something that really makes me feel like giving up hope and this thing also let me see something I never see in my whole life.

You might be wondering what happened? It is the story of C, called Story of C part 2.

The question now is it logical? Let me explain more about this story now.

-story of C part 2-

This story begin today 20/9/2006 during our BF meeting. Every member was given a task to complete however we have a shortage of laptop and also limited power access point and power socket. Therefore not every member is able to use the laptop so some of them have to write on the paper and wait for their turn to use the laptop.

So JN was doing the diagram for everyone so she uses her own laptop. As for mao and P, they shared mao’s laptop and for M, J and C they only have one laptop thus only M was using the laptop while J and C start thinking of how to write their part of the task.

After a while, C went down to the library to borrow a laptop but she only manage to use for approximately thirty minutes and we have to go to the nearby bench where there is no access point thus the school laptop is unable to use since it require a power access point. In the end, C had to return the laptop and some of us went to purchase lunch for the rest.

After lunch, we continue our task and C again I do not have any ideas what she is doing because we are all busy with our task so there is really no time to look at her. During this period, as usually M was confused by the project again and there is a fierce conflict happening again but it was resolved quickly. After a while, J had to leave early because she needs to bring her boyfriend to see a doctor. Soon, JN finish her task and there is nothing for her to do for the time being thus she request to do her FA assignment and she is going to the library to borrow some reference book, C said she wanted to go to the library and complete her task (I wonder why she did not ask to borrow JN laptop to complete the task). Anyway it is approximately 1530Hrs when she leaves to go to the library and do her research.

After a long time:

P asked M: hey, you not go to library?
M is confused and replies P: why go library?
P said: to check on C lor, see if she finishes her task
M said: aiya give her more time to do a proper job
P said: OK lor.

After an even longer time, we plan to see lecturer to solve up some doubts during our discussion today. Everyone agreed. So P and mao went to wait for the lecturer since there are a very long queue

P said: me and mao go wait for teacher
(Then they begin to pack their things and walk off to the ground floor)
P confused ask M when she see she did not walk: hey M, why you not going?
M blurred said: huh? Go where?
P said: go find C la
M said: orh.. a bit more, give her more time.

After 3 minutes, mao called M

Mao said: hey we saw C in classroom
M said: huh?
Mao said: I said we saw C in classroom waiting for teacher
M said: WTF?
Mao said: Ya, she in the class and she have not done anything for today lor. I am angry
M said: she is coming up now, you all see how

Hang up

After the called, M told JN that C in classroom. She give me a very shocked face and ask why she in classroom? I answered, who knows? We waited for quite some times before C came up. M was very sick and tired of it so she just asked her to faster do and refrain her from talking too much. In the end, she managed to complete it in less than 30 minutes. Then as usual, we have to edit her stuff for her because her sentence construction really got a problem and from the way she writes her stuff, she does not seem to understand what she writing and the whole project when she is at the interview and also at all discussion and meeting.

-end of story-

2006-09-19T09:34:00.000-07:00

To tinyredbean blog fans,

I wish to apologize that I am not able to update my blog. I know you are bored so I am here again writing.

Today, I think I would just write a short paragraph to make a conclusion on the story of C. We have come out with some solution to counter and ensure that C would change so here the solution. We still have one more project together for this semester which is BF, so we would:

Give her an easy task to accomplish, ensure that she do a good job not her “I did my best” kind of work.
If she did not give a good enough work for us, we would ask her to keep doing until we are satisfied. But well there is consequences for this, this process is time consuming so we need to give her deadline and some pressure since I think we did not give her enough pressure that is why she is like that
She would partner with M and J so that we could monitor her performance. We do not want to pair her up with P because they are good friend and mao is too fierce and easily agitated and JN is her good friend so she would not chat with her and not do her work

So what you think? Good? I think it should work but anyway we still think that her behaviour after the talk is weird because she shows no effort in reducing the tension and also to communicate with her. During so many outing, she always isolates herself (or we did not make effort to talk to her, I do not know) so well it depends on her. If she still do not accept her wrong, then so be it. If she do not want to fix this problem herself by talking to us and communicate, we are not able to help her.

Enough about her, I am so sick of her now. Everytime I see her I feel so weird and uncomfortable. Let talk about another issue here, it is about Taiwan politics. It is a funny show to talk about politics and it is very interesting it is called “Quan Ming Da Men Guo”. Youtube have several OLD series about it, but since I subscribe to SCV cable so I am able to enjoy it on channel 52. I will look up the internet or even record it if possible so you all can enjoy because I really enjoy it.

I will talk about other issues tomorrow so stay tuned.

2006-09-16T04:38:00.000-07:00

Before The Talk

Today, I will write about the last talk that we have with C. However, before that, I wish to briefly tell you guys about what actually happened that causes us to be so frustrated and yet pity for C

On 12/9/2006 is the deadline for our BB case study. Everything was fine and each group members are to fill up a peer-evaluation form. What is this form? This form is to evaluate your group members in terms of their contribution to the Case Study. Before that day, we have lot and lot of dilemma because we are not sure if we should mark down C or to just ignore it and give the same marks and treat it as nothing happened. After much discussion, we decided to mark her down by 1 mark. We mean all of us received 6 marks and C will received 5 marks. However, we did not discuss with C, so we do not know what marks she gives us.

Ethical or unethical

So now we are ready to hand in our peer-evaluation form, everyone was trying to avoid C because we are afraid she asked us, she tried to talk to us but none of us want to bother about her because we just mark her down. Then, since human are curious, P went to look at her peer evaluation.

We are all so HORRIFIED by C evaluation of us. Guess what she wrote about the contribution. She mark down J and mao and she give the rest including herself 5 marks. So this mean J and mao received 4 marks. We are so shocked by what we know because how can she mark down J when J actually cover her up and she was the one that wanted to give C 6 marks like the rest.

(Everyone was fuming with anger and frustrated and puzzled by what C does, however the angriest part is C act as though she does not know we are angry at her and continue to approach us)

***Mao went out of the toilet and took back our peer-evaluation form and asks us if we wish to change our evaluation. Everyone mark her down to 4 marks.

(Mao scolded **** to C and say she wanted to hit someone to C and C (I don’t know) if she get the meaning and pretend to be very friendly to us, mao almost pushed C down from the stairs because of her looks)

In the end, C realize we saw her evaluation was angry at P because evaluation was not suppose to let anyone knows, P was also very upset because she feels guilty that she peeps on C evaluation and tell everyone about it.

So P and C relationship become worse and C feel that P betrays her and did not talk to P like she used to.

The Talk

After much discussion, I was appointed to talk to C and the rest of them were my mediators.

(Since I am the youngest, not so friendly with her and not the soft type like N and not as close to her as P and we know each other quite long since semester one.)

Scene @ school near Level one toilet

(Everyone sit down, I was facing C and P, J, Mao was sitting opposite. N was sitting at another table doing her project and listening at the same time)

(I started talking)

M said: C were want to talk to your about the peer-evaluation and about BB project
M said: P saw your evaluation form and saw that you give J and mao 4
P said to C: I know you are angry that I see your evaluation, but we do not understand why you give J 4 marks
C said: yes, I am angry. You are not supposed to see my evaluation
C said: I give mao 4 marks because I compared her with M and I think that she did less than M
Mao said: yes I admit that I did not do as much as M, so I know why you give me 4 marks but we are angry because you give J 4 marks too
M said: mao did her task by doing the task I gave her since she have DC project to rush, so at least she did her part she just did not do extra

(Mao has another module different from us so she was busy with her DC project the other day, but she did the part by writing a good essay for me and did extra research for me when she has time)

(C got nothing to say, because she wanted to keep talking about mao and not about J, so we stop her by doing that, trying to focus her on J instead of Mao because Mao is not angry with C giving her such low marks since she say she deserved it)

M said: now we are talking to you about J, why you give her such a lower marks?
C said: I give J 4 marks because as compared to P, N, and M, J did lesser than three of you

(We were like huh? Huh? HUH!!??! How can you compare J with the rest of us because in a project, there will definitely be some people that do more and some do lesser so as long as everyone did a reasonable amount of job, we can conclude that everyone contribute equally)

***Everyone was shocked to heard such comment, reason, excuses from C

P said: how can you compare J with all of us? If like that compare me with N, I will definitely score 2 or 3 marks since I did not do as much as N

***Everyone agreed and trying to dig for the real reason

P said to C: if compare you to J, how much marks would you give J and yourself?
C said: 5 for me and 4 for J
P said: why?
C said: because I did research and provide her with a lot of ideas which is more than J

(We were all like huh? more ideas means more points?)

***Silence

M said: do you know what J wrote for question 2?
C said: yes, about piracy, ipos … blah blah blah

(All the things she say is like point form, nothing much, is like common sense)

P said: what point you gave J? J actually did all the writing and typing, she even discuss with us when she have doubts, I don’t see you make such effort
C said: I send J my ideas and I though she will improve on my ideas and edit on it

(Btw, the ideas is on epi 2 and 3 the picture I show you)

M said: this is the final report and you are in uni, you do not expect other to baby sit you and to EDIT you and improve on it. You should give us your best essay and this is the final report, you show no effort in making it the best
M said: ideas not written down properly into words is not an ideas
C said: I know what I do is the bear minimum; I thought you all can improve for me
C said: I do not think what I did was wrong, I did what I can and give it to J

(J try to explain what part she did and what C have done, basically just give ideas only, her research is only 2)

P said: last time you poly you also like that is it? Have you ever edit a report before?
C said: No never edit before, I have been doing like this since poly
P said: you poly mates never say you ar?
C said: they BEAR with me

(We will like OMG!! WTH!! they bear with you??, C was almost going to cry and was not sitting well like want to faster get out of the conversation and keep asking us what is our conclusion)

P said: you cannot like this do your work and think we will improve for you, you must put in more effort and you thinking that we will help you must change.
M said to mao after the meeting: Luckily we discovered that she give J such low marks and know her true self, else we will be kept in the dark and J might not even know why she got so little marks for her BB case study which she put in so much effort.

***Whenever I think of it, I find it very scary because C was a friend since semester one and we did not know she is such a person and I find it very chilling if we did not realize the result. Such a horrible person to do such a thing, we thought she is a nice girl, didn’t realize she is such a backstabber.

***After trying to talk some sense to you, C say she will change (unwillingly from my view because she want to get out of this) and ask us to give her one more chance during our BF project as this project, we have her as our group members since the first day.

The next next day was the day we need to hand in our MR project.

***C did not ask us about our MR project, how is it but keep KPO at other people group project and try to mix with them and show no concern of our MR project. She also did not do much except the simple stuff which we put her effort in appendix. The thing she did was edited by P because she did not check spelling, no proper full stop and commas.

In short a lousy work. But what makes us even surer that next time we would not be able to do project together is her attitude toward our MR project. She shows no concern about it and did not apologize for giving J the marks and also to the rest of us who help her cover her stuff and she get the same result as us.

She is just very lucky to have us as group mates. In the end, our BB Case Study score High Distinction (HD). Teacher says we did well for Q1, 2, background and conclusion. Well done, J!

***After this conversation, C did not talk much to us but she still sit with us and try to talk to other people or avoid us.

For now, we will observe C. I will write out how we going to change her and help her, please give some opinion about it.

2006-09-15T08:14:00.000-07:00

Hi, back again on ethical issue part two.

Today, due to the lengthy blogging experience which causes me sleep very late and also time consuming. So I have planned to shorten it by using dialogue system to write out this issue.

***A few days after P and N talk to C and J about their question.

(The picture I posted yesterday is send on 28/8/2006, now I am going to show you the one she modified and send to me on 1/9/2006 – spot the different)

Enlarge HERE

This was the last document that I have received from her.

Basically she just change and make it nicer and add a few more pointers into the document, I do not know why she bother to send me that. However, I only able to see a sneak preview of so called “their” document (actually is done by J alone) on 5/9/2006

In addition, she have edited her conclusion and printed out for us to view during lesson.

Scene @ Class

C said: hey, here is the conclusion I edited, how is it?

(M look at it and read)

M said: what you change?
C said: there ~, I change that and that and add in some more point
M said: I think you do not get my point. I mean you should write what you have learnt.
M said: this is not what you have learnt; you cannot write our question 1, 2, 3 conclusions and put it as the conclusion for the whole case study.
C said: then what I should write about? Can I write we learnt that unethical and ethical..etc
(basically conclusion of the question 1)
M said: no, no.. Not like that write, you should write what you have learnt, I don’t know how to tell you how but what you say is not correct
C said: eh.. Ok I will change

Basically, I know her conclusion is not correct but I do not know how to phrase it to her.

**maybe is my fault cause maybe I do not have any idea how to write it until I really sit down and think about it

So after a few more day at Singapore Expo when we are going to meet Fragrance young boss, CK for our BF interview.

**We are at Burger King and everyone find a place and sit, wait and prepare the things we need for the interview. Before that, J was unsure of whether she right is correct or not so she asked us to check for her.

Scene @ Burger King

J said: mao mao, your laptop can use ma? I want to edit and show you all our question 2
mao said: ok, on lor

(Computer start-up, waiting for like 1 min and the computer is on)

(J plugs in her thumb drive and shows us the document and ask us for opinion)

(C take a look and did not said anything about it)

J asks M: how is it? ok ma?
M said: look not bad, I scanned through can liao definitely better than last time.
J said: so still got any point can give? I only have a few points here, I think not enough
M said: how about blah blah, or you can include blah blah and blah blah

(M giving J lamer and some useful pointers, J takes down and ask for reason, so we chat about it for quite some times)

**The rest were doing other things, mao keep quiet, P also provide points, C and JN were talking about I do not know what. Btw JN is C good friend who recently joined us for BF project because her group members do not like her working attitude. (Later tell you all after this episode)

(so everyone were doing their own things then we suddenly realize that C was not taking part in this brainstorming and she was busy chatting with JN)

P said to J: I tot C is your partner, then why is she not doing anything
J reacts with a shrugged and said: I do not know
P said to C: hey J is your partner hor, why you here chatting and not helping her? we not her partner also help her why you never?

(C walks toward J and “pretend” to dicuss)

**After that we off the laptop and stop dicussing on the question 2 and start looking at each other and talk other subject

(C was so super happy and chat a lot about it)

After the interview, we went to John Little and shop then we went home

**After a few day, C give us the same conclusion then P ask M to do the conclusion since M have already finish their part.

In the end, P and N was editing and looking through the whole report and found a TERRIFIYING mistake done by M and mao. We had a super bad debate about ethical and unethical issue and later M realize her mistake and change it and send to N and everything was fine.

The day before we need to hand in, everyone sent their part to N. Suddenly, C send another pointer to J and it was like WTH you send this to us last minutes, you have so many days to think and do and type and send us, why must it be the day before on 11/9/2006?

**N edit and everything was done and ready to hand in

I will continue the story tomorrow. Tomorrow I will write about the conflict and the talking we did to her and how come we are so frustrated.

2006-09-14T11:06:00.000-07:00

Let us talk ethical issue today even though I know I am not very ethical.

A few days ago, I happened to realize that whether a person is ethical or not depend heavily on character, personality, perception and attitude. I think these five factors really shaped a person’s inner beauty.

I think whether a person is good, bad, kind, gentle or anything depend on their inner beauty. Like one of a Chinese proverb: “ inner beauty is more beautiful than external beauty ”. This is seriously true because sometimes we tend to judge a person from the impression it created in our mind through their appearance. But actually, once you get to know a person no matter how good their appearance might look, they can always deceive you.

Why do I say that? This is because I have a seriously bad experience that I have never had in my past 20 years of my life. I just regret that we did not realize this soon which causes our relationship to turn out so sour and I am very disappointed with her (a lot of disappointment).

This story is about our project in my RMIT marketing course module – Buyer Behaviour Case Study 4.1. All names have been cap confident and I will be using representative to describe them and evidence was shown at the end. Let me give u background information from third parties and with facts which I will scan and post tomorrow.

This is what happened. We are given a task to work on for our Case Study 4.1, I am suppose to be the leader (as in wrote on the form that teacher gave me) because at that time other subjects have not announced any project or anything about team work during lesson except Buyer Behaviour so since no one willingly to be a leader, I took up the role as a leader.

In the end as more and more project were given, I suddenly realize I am the leader for all the project and I really got a time I could not breath because too much responsibility so I start nagging again to all of them and ask them to take up the role as a leader. In the end, I am the MR leader (since I have arrange like four meeting before I realize the problem), P is the leader for BF, F & W is the leader for OB and C agreed to take up the role as a leader for BB. I thought everything is fine since our BB module do not have to hand in so early since we are the last group to hand in our case study.

So everything when peaceful and normally since I am the kind that do not mind taking extra job and everyone is busy with their work, study and personal life so no one really remind each other about BB module. So in the end, I (again) remind everyone that we have to do BB and that the leader, C should arrange a time for meeting and arrange our task and roles for the project (I think this is what a leader so do). So in the end, I do not know what happened in between and I was told that P has to guide, teach C, remind C on how to be a leader, what to do for meeting, what she need to do before meeting .. Etc

I do not know what you guys feel, but well for me this is what each member is doing for like the past few year since you are secondary school to know what you need to do for a meeting as a leader. Even though you have not become a leader before, I believe everyone observed each other so members will definitely observed how a leader function and based on that judge whether the person is a good, average or bad leader.

So in the end, we have a meeting and during the meeting (everyone was late except P and J) we discuss like me and P is the leader because we keep inputting ideas on how to produce a good and efficient work. By the way, I forget to mention that we have six group members – me (M), mao, C, P, N and J

Conversation during meeting:

C said: M and mao do question one and background
“ : P and N question three and summary of case study 4.1
“ : C and J question two and conclusion of case study 4.1

(Everyone busy writing down their task and role)

(short paused of 5 seconds)

P said: so my part hor, I should do this this this and this right? Anything else?
M said: ya, for the time being like that only lor see how then we change

(Everyone agreed (smile))

(Then we end the meeting and go to lesson)

Everyone was fine with their work, and then problem comes. C and J was supposed to work on question two and from what I know and observed they met up a couple of times to discuss the ideas and then write out their own part. A few days before our meeting, me and mao have done our part and we email to the rest of them and so is everyone (we thought when actually J have not email us yet). In the end, due to certain situation the meeting was postponed and everyone agreed to it as we need more time to do a complete so we only read those email that we have received and see how other members have done for their part, then I was so shocked to see C typing out everything in point form and send it to me. I was like Huh? What is this? Since I am not clear of what C wrote and J her partner was not online, I went to ask P and N and they said they will ask her tomorrow during break time. By the way, P and N done a good job and me and mao do a pretty good one too (but something happened along the way, I will exprain later)

P and N went to ask her about the part she sends us and we are so devastated to hear such comment.

Conversation between P, N, J and C

P said: hey C, yesterday the report you send us the document is what huh? only like that?
C said: yeah, some of my point that I have though about it

(P and N looked confused)

N said: I do not understand what you wrote, then point out some of her doubts
P said to C: This document is you and J do one ar?
C said: no, no this one is MY part for question two

(Everyone were even more confused)

J said: sorry, I have not add my part yet, this one is not the complete set
P asked C & J: you all never discussed ar? Why never give email us a complete set?
C said: no, no, this one is I DO one; this is MY PART, not J part

(Short paused for 3 seconds)

J explained: she will try to do the whole complete document with both their answer and write properly before sending us again.

(Everyone accept her explanations and give them extra time to complete)

(In the meantime, C show us the conclusion she did as usual, without J)

N said: the conclusion cannot write like this, must write what we have learnt

(C said oh, ok ok I will change it and let you see again)

This drama will continue again tomorrow so stay tuned because after discussion, we have a rather long break before we discuss this subject again and it is super late now.

The Reason to Write

It has been a long time since I start writing blog again. I guess I have problem with trends because I am always the late adaptors or laggard. So here again, I start writing my first post

I like to write blog because I used to keep a diary of myself and even though everyone knows about my secrets since I am always nagging about my problems and other people problem. Somehow writing on blog seems even better because I can nag to almost everyone worldwide if they happened to read about my blog.

Something about myself

I am a girl (isn’t that obvious), I love to make friends and having friends is the best thing that any human being can have in their life. This is because friends are someone who you trust completely and also they trusted you too. In life, many people have many friends which comes and goes at each stage of your life, but true friend – I am not sure, perhaps some people don’t even have one. For me, I do have one who is from my secondary school and another one would be my sister (if you consider that). They are the best friends I ever had and I am super glad to have them too (just hope they feel that same)

But, don’t feel bad about yourself if you do not have one because 50% of the world populations do not have a best friend, not even couples. However, it is important that we cherish every friendship or relationship that we built at every stage because even though they comes and goes they are an important phrase in your life that you cannot do without it.

I am an ambition and competitive person (hope you won’t mind). I used to hurt people when I start opening my mouth and I love to argue. Sometimes, teacher can’t even stand me that they don’t ask me to answer any question. My life is rather ordinary and peaceful (as in no war?) so everything seems to go where they should belong and outcome was expected.

I have this bad habit that I discovered when I was in secondary school. Whenever thing don’t goes right or there is something that is bothering me, I am not able to sleep well and often nag (ah! this might be why I nag so much) until an outcome was achieved. Whether it is bad or good, it doesn’t really matter. I have this teacher who keeps scolding me for reading poor English and my grammar suck to the core. She always picks on me until I am so stress and she threat and compare me with other better student in terms of English. I was so angry that before English exam, I am so angry or I think stress that I cry because I scared I will be threat and do not do well for my exam (failed means I go normal academic). So I study like hell for English (imagine English study so hard) in the end I was the top student and she was so freaking surprised that she do not know how to react.

My friend who the teacher thought would become the top student was second (ha ha) and that time I am really proud of myself and I confronted the teacher and she become better to me.

That about me, tomorrow I will start nagging again about my school work and hopefully you can stand me! (haha!!)
