When registration becomes a problem

             Now, I am up for a new dilemma as I have one subject left for registration. And we have our lecturer(whom his name should remain a secret) saying students have the rights to register and no one can stop us from doing so. 

             But all this shows that all the fees that we pay (although I am not the one actually paying it, to be honest) is not worth as compared to the service being provided. We were advised to jam up the office counter to show our protest and how desperate we were in getting into the classes. 

          So, I have come up into the thinking of taking Management Decision Science if the management comes up with a negative result. Maybe it will just balance off everything and I wont be left out. And hope there wont be a need to extend another year just to complete all the major accounting subjects which is offered only once a year.

          After all, I will still hope that the decision to be made in behalf of the students. 

Rightfully expressing,

Dursharl

Questions: Adam

Welcome back to MMU for the new trimester! I could see that the development of new entries for the blog is very slow. And some members haven't posted anything yet. So I think we may start the 'themed post'. Instead of choosing theme like 'My favourite movie', I would start with questions that I saw from some other blogs, and maybe we can know each other better.

There are 38 questions all together. The best part is that, be creative to answer it! And answer based on your interpretation of the question. It would show what kind of person you are. Unleash that personality! Be funny too.

I would answer first, maybe you can copy and paste the question at your post. Don't forget to put two labels: One is the normal one, our names, and the second is "Questions" just like what I did. Later we can compare all the answers. For the time being, if you have anything else to post other than this question, yes you can! No restrictions but can all members answer this? Thank you.

A Gloomy Evening...

My days during this holiday were fine at first. I've got ups and down in managing my business and constantly trying to expand it despite the capital constraint I'm facing. Today I launched my reconstructed website and I hope that it will bring more revenue in for the rest of the year.

I've been in and out of the gym everyday since I touched down in Penang and it was one of the best therapy that I could get myself into since I am always busy with DC Bodybuilding Clothing Co. lately just because I want my new Sem to start with ease and to have no heavy load from my working side.

Just when you think I am already finished complaining about my holidays. I'm not quite done yet.

One of the person that I loved the most in life, whom make up most of my chapters are about to leave us all behind. My grandma got admitted to the hospital last Wednesday and it did not get any better. Yesterday, she was admitted into the ICU and Doctors told my family that she has a few more days left with us. I thought situations like this only appear in the movie screen. It isn't easy at all to know that the one you love is about to be gone 'forever' and you have to brace yourself for what might come ahead.

God's willing, granny is still with us until now. I pray that she would be free from suffering, anxiety and pain.Your prayers for her means the world to me.

I won't be around for the first day of the Sem. I wish you all the best of luck in the new Sem and see you soon.

PS: I'm not secretive when it comes to results so if you do wonder, I end my first year degree with a CGPA of 3.54, I am happy with it based on the effort I gave in.

Love the ones you are with,
Darryl 'Ashton' Chin

Two is better than one.

''Siblings. Nature's way of creating a slightly (or very) different version of us.''

I picked up my brother from school this afternoon and witnessed something that touched my heart. I slowed down my car as the students were crossing the road, and that was when I watched a boy holding the hands of his younger brother as they cross to the other side of the road. The elder boy looked carefully at both directions of the driveway while firmly holding his brother's hands to ensure that they get to the other side safely, and the younger brother followed closely by his side. The warmth of their brotherhood radiated through a simple act of bringing each other across the street.  


As I was driving and searching for the sight of my brother, I found him doing the same thing. Our eyes met and he headed towards my car. I smiled to myself (like an idiot), because I have a sibling. =)   

I have a younger brother. Our age gap is rather huge, and in sundry ways our uniqueness is clear, but nothing gets in the way of our close and whimsical sibling-hood. Like most siblings, we annoy each other to the core at times. We fight then we make up. Siblings fight over ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, but you know they are the ones who will be right next to you when the world tumbles down. There's a saying that goes 'Half the time when siblings wrestle, it is just an excuse to hug each other', I think this is somewhat true. LOL. Through siblings fights I learnt that anger is natural and that relationships can survive disagreements. Because despite how much we fight, he is the one person I know that will never leave me behind. I'm truly glad that I have a close relationship with my brother and that he'll always come to me to share everything. 

This video of Charlie and Harry reminds me of the silly things that we do with our siblings. Plus, it's cute.


Having siblings is a blessing. To the outside world we grow and change, but not to our brothers and sisters, because we know each other as we always were by heart. We share family feuds and the ups and downs. Siblings can sit next to each other in utter silence all day and be completely comfortable. They are like best friends that you can never get rid of; You know no matter what you do they'll still be there. When siblings get together, no fortress is as strong as the pact they make. 


'Sweet is the voice of a sibling in the season of sorrow', when we feel like nothing seems right, our siblings come and pick us up from the ground to make things right again, and we do the same for them. We all act like we don't care, but deep down we know that we're looking out for each other. Sometimes being a brother/sister is even better than being a superhero.

'It snowed last year: I made a snowman and my brother knocked it down and I knocked my brother down then we had tea.' - Dylan Thomas, Welsh poet and writer.

Love your siblings. 

P.S. If you don't have a sibling, that doesn't make you less special, it only makes you unique in your way, where you share your love with cousins or friends. 

Sincerely,
Yvonne

Hello all!

Greetings from Sitiawan!

As you guys can see from the photos from facebook, I went to Cameron for MMU CCF camp for 3D2N. Oh ya, CCF stands for Chinese Christian Fellowship. The camp theme is Super Love 爱在我行. It means "show your love through actions".

Did u notice that it's a love instead of an S inside the box?

So basically, the activities are bible sharing by the speaker, games, camp fire, barbecue, singing sessions and etc. I have learnt a lot in this camp, and realized there are so many things i have neglected, which i think it's a really good refreshment camp for me. Besides, i have met some new friends, and our bonding among CCF members have grown stronger and closer.

This is my first ever experience to play water gun in highlands, it's fun and cool! :D

And by the way, we can only feel the coldness during the night and early morning in cameron, the temperature during daytime is just so-so.

On the last day, before we departed back to Cyberjaya, we hung around in Brinchang and visited some farms.
Here's my pic of eating strawberry to end this post. LOL
