What a terrible week....
On the 4th week, life getting more hectic.. I was weak and sick, but I still attended classes and group discussion. Besides that, on Thursday when I went to see my marketing lecturer, there was something we need to change before the Friday presentation. Therefore, I called for an emergency group discussion but most of them couldn't attend. So I went to meet Cheryl my other group member to discussed with her since am doing the power point and she was doing the report. So I smsed all the others to email me their ideas while Cheryl and I discussed in 1 Utama, Starbucks. And besides that, nobody wanted to do presentation, so we got Kelly to present, but since there was a lot to present, I wanted another person to help her out, but nobody wanted to present, so I had to present. So I was so tired after the marketing management classes, and that day everything was going well for me.. When I finally came back at 5.30 pm, my head was in a severe pain, with fever and bad sore throat, but I had to go for prayers that night.
Yesterday, things were getting worst for me.. Am not writing what happened here, cos I don't want anyone to know about it.. but it was a very bad week to end it.. I didn't want to go anywhere yesterday and even today.. Let's hope everything goes back to normal for me now..
Am so tempting to just forget about my degree in KL and just go back to Penang to be with my family members, and go back there to finish my degree.. Now, I understand why people telling me that staying with your family is a luxury.. although sometimes they nagged and so on, but when things happen, you really want your parents to be around to help you out.
That's it for now.. Am cooking porridge while typing this post...

Just feel like complaining......
Monday, September 24, 2007
You know you're Malaysian if...
- You complain about the quality of the pirated DVD you just purchased. "What, RM10 for DVD5?! Aiyah, boss ... sound no good, cheaperlah ..."
- You're willing to consume sambal petai and durian and gladly suffer the bloating and wind-breaking incidents.
- You're exceedingly polite to the Mat Sallehs but you slag your own kind. "Hello, sir. Why don't you sit here, it's got the best view of the city skyline." But, "Aunty-ah, your table is over there next to the kitchen."
- You order Maggi goreng and fried chicken, complain about how oily the food is, and then proceed to finish it anyway.
- You love to talk about food. You're already thinking about what to have for dinner while eating lunch. "I'm stuffed. What shall we have for dinner?"
- You dive into a communal-style meal the moment the dish lands on the table only to hesitate at the last morsel of food on the serving dish. There are two possible explanations for this: the first is the pai seh (embarrassed) factor, while the other is the myth that the person who eats the last piece will be a spinster.
- You hit the accelerator the moment the first drop of rain hits your windshield. "Alamak, it's going to rain. Sure traffic jam one. I'd better drive faster."
- You seize the opportunity to make a U-turn anywhere ... especially where there is a sign telling you not to. Well, so long as the cops aren't in sight.
- You feel a burning desire to send text messages and even have the gall to give your friend a blow-by-blow account of the movie to your friend on the handphone - during the screening of the movie. "Okay, now that girl Lizzie is impersonating an Italian singer; she so doesn't look Italian ..."
- You forsake your loved ones for the all-important four letter-word: S-A-L-E. "Sorry, mum, I can't take you to Aunt Mary's because I have to go to MidValley before the crowd." You'r also more than happy to be part of the insane traffic jam that forms around malls during weekends and sale periods.
- Reality shows Akademi Fantasia and Malaysian Idol dictate your social life. "What, no TV at the mamak? Count me out - I'm staying home. Rinie needs my support."
- You pepper every sentence with lah. "No-lah, I can't see you today-lah. I have to study-lah. You know-lah, the prison warden aka mak is watching me like a hawk"
- You fail to function normally without your daily dose of teh tarik and nasi lemak.
- You have owned at least one Proton in your lifetime. Cheap, cheap. That is until you start to make enough dough to buy that Honda you've been salivating over.
- You slow down at an accident site to take down the car number plate, but won't step out of your car to help - the victim could be a robber!
- You'd rather park your car along the main road outside the mall, where there's a yellow line, rather than pay RM1 to park inside where there are adequate bays.
- You plead, bat your eyelashes and relate a sob story to the officer at the town council office to let you off the hook (or reduce the amount considerably) for the fine you incurred when you parked your car on the double line.
- You make an appointment for 10am and conveniently show up a half hour late - Malaysian time, what ...
- You pop open the wet tissue packet at the Chinese restaurant by squeezing the trapped air to the top of the packet before proceeding to smash your fist into it. The louder the pop the better.
- You greet your friend / neighbor / acquaintance on the street with "How are things?" or "Have you eaten?" or better yet, by stating the obvious: "Went to market ah?"
- Ramlee burger is the "piece de resistance" of your growing-up-years cuisine.
- You catch all major televised events at the mamak.
- You have roughly six meals a day (breakfast, mid-morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and supper). Then there's the snacking - keropok ikan, pisang goreng, muruku, jam tarts and the like.
- You get the whole family dressed to the nines, jump into the car and head for the minister's open house - and ask for styrofoam boxes and plastic bags to tar pau food.
- Your accent and language style vary according to the race of the person you are conversing with.
- You've got a friendly disposition. Smiles are abundant and your "Apa khabar?" is warm and sincere.
- You exclaim loudly how expensive everything is, even though the items may in fact be going for a steal. "Wah! So expensive, ah? Hak sei ngor (Scare me to death)!"
- You dig deep into your pockets to contribute to the latest appeal for donations in the newspapers.
- You "dis" our country all the time, but as soon as something good happens (like winning the Thomas Cup), you morph into a proud Malaysian.
- You never travel abroad without a bottle of chilli sauce, or sachets which you can sneak into restaurants.
- You're proud to be Malaysian - and you pass these jokes on to all your Malaysian friends!

My Back Is Still Freaking Painful!!!
So anyways, yesterday is was the MOST painful treatment compared to the 2nd and 3rd treatment. I first one, was horrible and painful, yesterday was so FREAKING PAINFUL.. Although is only 3 marks, the part that he did was so Painful. I cried in this treatment. You can't blame me for that.. I bet if you were me, you might also cry.. Even when he pressed on the part of the pain, I was already in pain.. Imagine with the anesthetic, and moving the nerve, it was even worst. The mental suffering was bad enough, and plus the pain, it was much worst. AND THE WORST THING IS THAT THE DOCTOR TOLD ME NOT TO MOVE WHEN HE IS DOING THAT PART!!! That makes me even more scared!!! Is so bad till I was crying before he even started.. After he finished, he did the other parts of the marks. After the acupotomy, he then do the cupping therapy. It wasn't that painful BUT WHEN HE DID THAT PART WHERE I DID THE ACUPOTOMY, IT HURTS LIKE MAD!!! seriously speaking, the pain is still killing me, but is more bearable compare to yesterday..I was crying abit when I came back and when my mum were talking to my aunty about it.. It shows how pain it was!!! Thank god, is a Saturday today!!! I can't even pour my medication, my cousin have to come over to help me!!! Thank you cousin!!!
that's it for now about my treatment... LOL.. I hope this will be the last treatment, unless in 2 weeks time, the pain is still there, then I have to go back to see him again.. Hopefully, I will be better in 2 weeks time... Pray hard for me ya!!! LOL
Pictures of my back!!! LOL

The 2nd Week of Uni Life
As I said before, life in year 3 is not easy, no matter which subjects you take. Therefore, I sometimes still don't understand why people is making a fuss out of it? I bet in all university in Malaysia or even university overseas students are all also finding it hard.. The only way is for us to put in more effort to study and do revision. Besides making fuss with the subjects, some were also complaining about lecturers? Comparing with Malaysia colleges or University with overseas university lecturers, the students in Malaysia should not have been making so much fuss and complaining about lecturer as they are already lucky enough. The lecturers here, have been conducting the lectures and helping students in whatever way they can, giving us notes and always patiently help students. In overseas, I bet those who are studying in overseas will tell me that the lecturers do not care or bother about the students, they just come in to the classes, finish the lectures and go off already, and it all depends on the students to revise. The students will only ask questions in tutorial. So those who don't put effort will have troubles. The lecturers will help those who help themselves. Am not so sure about the university lecturers in overseas, as I have not been studying in overseas before, but this is what I know from a few of my friends.. So if am wrong, please comment..
Back to uni, classes so far is ok. Lectures all started already, and is already getting tough.. Hahaha.. Really need to study already and pay attention, if not wait till exams time, sure guarantee die.. LOL.. I had talk about the marketing lecturer in my last post, as expected, he had high expectation on the students, and how he teach and think, but I will be able to adapt to it.. There is no choice anyways, so just try doing what he wants instead.. His class can be fun but stressful, but is ok... Critical classes, is not bad too. Anyways, since I had problems with my health, I will be careful with my health now.. Studies are important, but my health is more important.. I'll try my best to do well in my studies, but I will take care of my health.. So to those who are worried about me, I will be fine.. If my health is not good, I rather not do well in my exams than sacrificing my health.. So you guys, don't worry about me.. I will take care of my health..
On Thursday, I also went to see the Chinese doctor for my 3rd treatment.. It is so painful... Issshh.. Will post about it in my next post..
Hehe, am back in Penang again.. Came back with my mum after class on Friday, and going back on Monday with my mum.. We are driving back my car.. Yay!!! But after 2 weeks of driving waja, is not that bad after all.. Nice to drive also, but I still dislikes driving Waja to Sri Hartamas for dentist appointment..LOL
I am going for dinner now, so am stopping here.. Take care all!!!
Pictures taken in Secret Recipe after classes located above our main campus.. We wanted to go eat Mcd but it was super pack!!! Even Secret Recipe were also packed!!!
Me in Secret Recipe for lunch
Rose in Secret Recipe..

The First Week of Uni Life
On Friday, I went to my marketing management class at 8am.. Since it was the first lesson for that subject, my lecturer let us off early. Instead of 4 hours class, we only had 2 hours of class. And my lecturer said that those who came today, can skip class this coming Monday. He said that, he will still brief the other students that did not attend Friday class and also to let us think carefully whether we want to take this subject.. This is because he expect the best from the students.. There are reasons for it lah.. He talk about his life and his achievements in life.. If he did not show us evidences, we would not believe him.. But when he showed us all of the evidences, we had to believe in him. He is a top student last time and his sons are all high achievers.. He showed us his and his sons results.. He was from a very poor family and was an adopted son.. He worked in big companies and was paid quite high, but because of some reasons, which he told us, he went into teaching in HELP.. But soon, he will go back to work in other companies.. So because of that, he had high expectation of the students he taught.. So, he told us to think carefully.. And also because there are high failure rate too... He said that most fail is because the students do not listen to him... and don't do his work.. Anyways, I know some of them has already make quite a fuss and might not one to take this subject..
What about me? Am I brave enough to be with him for the next 14 weeks? Will I be able to cope??? Am not that sure myself too? What if I could not cope? What if I don't do well and it will thus affect my hon. degree?? Erm... But on the other hand, there are benefits for me to attend his class also.. He is a lecturer that will be able to show us the real work life and used real life examples to teach us. Since he is not a pure academics lecturer. He is also working as a marketer. His thinking is different from us.. I cant think of that word at the moment..Haha.. So if I go to his class, I will also learn new things from him.. The bad part is, he wont give us tips.. He said that lecturer who give tips actually harm the students.. LOL.. So that's why, I know some of them is already making fuss and not want to take this subjects..
So should I or should I not? I will be taking this subject no matter the lecturer is nice, good or vice versa. This is because, I feel that, is not the lecturer but ourself.. If the lecturer is good and we still don't study, the lecturer cant help us to pass also.. If the lecturer is not good, and if the student actually study, the student will still be able to pass. So is all depends on the students.. Besides that, I guess maybe is good to have him as the lecturer.. Although if he does not give tips or even if his expectation is high, it might actually do us good. He will be able to teach better and if we do and follow what he say, and be prepared for his class, then it will be ok.. If all his sons are all high achievers, i bet he is a good lecturer if we follow what he say instead of going against him.. I bet lecturers wont harm u unless you harm yourself my not studying and attending classes. Some lecturers could not care less about the students, and why there are still students passing the subjects, although there are also high failure rates? This is because the students that passed as put in effort.. So therefore, no matter how the lecturer is, i guess is all up to the students. That's what i think..
The only thing is that the marketing management subject contains of 50% exams and 50% assignment.. And is a group assignment.. And the bad thing is that we can't choose our own group.. The lecturer will randomly choose the groups.. Those who know me well, u know how I hate it so much.. I thought I had enough of problems in group work, and now I still have to face it.. But since am able to pull through all this while, I guess I will be alright this term too.. LOL.. Pray hard for me, my friends.. LOL
So anyways, I will be attending critical issues in human resources and marketing management this term.. Am only taking 2 subjects because their are the only few subjects offered. I don't want to take project this term, since I have another term to go.. Besides project, there are only finance paper offered.. So i decided to take 2 subjects this term, and another 3 next term. Since last term, I already finished 1 core paper.. Am so disappointed with my marks.. but then I know I did my best, since I was sick and did not attend classes after the 7 weeks.. the other 7 weeks, I was at home.. So practically I was doing it all by myself with the help of some of my friends.. So I really can't complaint, and am happy that I actually passed that paper..
Nevertheless, since my lecturer told us that we do not need to come for Monday class, I decided to come back to Penang.. LOL.. I know i know.. I just went back to KL 4 days ago, but I still want to come back home.. I guess i miss pg now.. Haha.. And I will be going back on Monday.. And after that on Friday after class, me and my mum will drive back to pg.. Haha.. I decided to come back this 2 weeks before I start getting busy with uni work.. LOL

Acupotomy
Click here for more information of what is acupotomy??
For those who do not want to read so much, here is a short article about it?
Acupotomy is a new type of non-invasive surgery using a small needle-scalpel invented by Professor Zhu Hanzhang around 30 years ago. The name comes from first five letters in "acupoint" and the last four in "anatomy". This new technique is used to treat chronic injuries, as well soft tissue disorders and the abnormal bony growths that cause acute pain. Combining techniques from acupuncture and surgery, acupotomy demands an extraordinarily perceptive three-dimensional understanding of human anatomy from its practitioners.
As a new system of medical science, acupotomology bridges the basic theories of traditional Chinese and modern Western medicine. A modern theory of channels and collaterals is a major part of acupotomology philosophy. Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners believe the human body contains a series of channels and collaterals, also called the "the third conductive passage" because it exists independent of the nervous and circulatory systems.
With acupomotology, modern science has finally found the three conductive systems exist.

This Chinese Doctor is good.. And he is also curing my back too.. Some of you might not know this?? When I was in Standard 6, I felt from a chair when playing musical chair during my birthday.. My god, I had to suffer the pain for 9 years already.. So this Chinese Doctor from Beijing, but he worked in KL for 4 years, said that he will be able to cure my back too.. He used a different method.. Is not acupuncture, but another name of it.. "acupotomy" Is definitely not acupuncture, is a new method.. LOL.. He will press on the part which hurts and then he will mark the place.. After that, he will inject anesthetic on each mark.. I had 16 marks altogether from my back and hip, therefore he will inject 16 times of anesthetic. The needle is so big.. Arghhh.. Damn.. After that, he will use another big needle to move the nerves... IS SO DAMN PAINFUL!!! Although it HURTS, if it works, I would be very happy.. It will be like a miracle for me..
