Choir ROCKS

Being in a choir, is the greatest thing in my life. Like seriously, I just enjoy singing in a big group, enjoy the harmonies created by each part of the choir team. This feeling rocks. You will feel like you're on the top of the world when you finally conquered the song and everybody can sing it nicely. Have you ever felt like, wow we actually did it. Together. Yah, that's the awesome thing to be in a choir.  I will never ever regret to join choir since primary school haha, not to say gaining experiences, but it also painted my life with really beautiful memories. Tho packed schedule and intense practices got us like, terribly busy, since sem one, but it's worth it. 

We actually did kinda well on our annual event, le CCMO, Choir Chamber and Music Orchestra. Aha and one important thing, the transformation was a success. Cause this year, the concert was kinda different from the previous one. So happy to hear some good feedback saying this year's concert was the best among all. Ahhh I feel like cryingggg. You will understand that awesomeness to hear really good comments from the audiences, after you gone through one and a half month of intense practices. Through all the thunder and the rain, we made it happened. For sure there were unhappy and happy ones, but at last, we rocked the night ! Alright, let me brief you what happened on that wonderful night, lets go back to 5th of March shall we ? 

Right after our class ended, we rushed to the Great Hall, for makeups and etc. Wearing the same shirts btw haha. RAWR

CCMO @ 2015

Hehe, wondering why were we showing you our butts ? that's our first song, which was 'Somebody to Love'  by Queens. As we started to sing, we will turn and face the audiences, something like what Glee singers did. It's an A Capella song, and this song got us like crazeyyyy. It's HARD to learn and VERY HARD to sing it together. Full of overlapping parts and weird melody, hah but practice makes perfect, I think we had sang it for hundred times, at last this song ended like a piece of cake to us. Nahh haha just joking. We finally get used to the melody, and the tempos and everything, after hundred times of practising. No bluffing, it's definitely more than hundred times. 

Backstage, *spot me*

And then, we sang ' The Longest Time' from the movie ' How I Met Your Mother' and also ' The Greatest Love'. Oh ya, our themes of the concert were 'Evolution of Music' and 'Final Fantasy'. Yap there were two themes, two very contrast and unrelated themes haha. So we started off the concert with the evolution of music session, which we sang songs from 1970's to 2000's. From 'Somebody to love', to 'The Longest Time' and to 'The Greatest Love' and then 'When You Believe' from 'Prince of Egypt', and the last two songs, 'Lucky' by Colbie Caillat and Jason Mraz and 'Roar' by Katy Perry. You can say you dont know the first four songs but dont tell me you dont know the last two songs kay haha. 

Tadaa, spot any changes on your shirts ? We were wearing checkered shirts at first, buttoned up, and then when it's the time for the song 'Roar', the spotlight got dimmer and we quickly turned and unbuttoned to show that ROAR tshirt inside. Cool huh ? When we turned back and faced the audiences, they were like Woahhh, haha! The moment you noticed the audience actually felt surprised on that lil surprise we planned, you will get hyper ! haha. And we did very well for 'Roar', I personally like this song the most hehe. 

And the next part... 'Final Fantasy'. We changed our costumes btw, to a formal one. White blouse and black pants. This part we collaborated with Orchestra more, fyi 'Final Fantasy' is animation from Japan.. I think. It's a game or movie aha I dont know I just sing what I need to :b Okay, basically the songs are dull, and weird, with languages you cannot understand. Yah, so we just sing what we need to. 

Celine and I performed a duet song named 'Eyes On Me', haha so damn nervous wey before our turn. You could see me walking around with that sour face right before we went on stage. The waiting part kills meeee. Luckily, we performed it.. well I guess. Good job partner. Thank god that everything went smooth. 

Backstage, *I am actually very nervous.*

After approximately three hours, the concert ended, ahhh I cannot believe it ended. While I was going out for the last time to wave goodbye, its so unreal that it ENDED :( The three hours passed damn fast that I felt like I was dreaming until we were going out to say goodbye. But luckily, everything went smooth and well the whole night, no mistakes, although there were some imperfections, but we will get better next time I promise. We will get better and better and better :) 

I can laugh forever at Ong's expression. 

Phewww, so it ended, beautifully, with laughter and joyous. Thank you everyone for everything, thank you for the efforts hehe. There are a lot more after this, its not the full stop yet, there are still a lotttttt awaiting us. Haha packed schedule is coming soon... so ready for that and so ready to feel the awesomeness again ;) 

Choir ROCKS.

Stay tuned for more ya ! 

Betty. 

Throwback to.

Arhh, it's like finally I have the time to sit down and write a blog post, the last few weeks were just too hectic and terribly busy. I dont know whats the cause of the packed schedule but, it's so packed that I only have the time to blog about my Chinese New Year weeks after it ended. Duhh.


Alright, throwback to CNY 2015, it was an awesome one I guess ? Had my reunion dinner with the Lim's family, guess what we had, steamboat ! In a rainy night somemore, so warm right, sit around the table and eat and talk and laugh, I didnt talk much cause I was too focusing on eating haha. I spent the first day of CNY with my bitches, how sweeeeeet is this ! I woke up very very late, and of course set up myself like a doll, nah just kidding. After few centuries.. I am all ready to go for bainian (house visiting) ! I actually felt quite bad tho for not spending my first day of CNY at home, haha. Normally we Chinese will spend our first day, especially morning time at home. And I, only dropped by my grandma house for breakfast and then I ciao :b Ahh sho bad I know.

Our first stop at Qing's house. That girl on my left hand side in the photo above. What's the purpose of bainian, ah you know, reach your friend's house, say Hi to Uncle Aunty, sit down and eat some snacks biscuits etc, drink packet drinks, selfies, talk about nonsense stuffs, wish Uncle Aunty "Happy CNY" then ciao. HAHA. This ain't sarcasm kay, I am telling the truth haha. And thenn, we shifted to Emily's house which is right opposite to Qing's house. 

Haha, that girl sitting in the middle is Emily lah, showing off our angpaos. And then we headed to Yixuan's house. Took a lot of pictures like craziieee, not able to post it all, but here are some of it lah. 

One thing about that day was, we finally had our reunion lunch, not dinner haha. It's so hard to gather all of us, so we were like, awww what an opportunity, that we finally back in that big gang again. 

Almost all of us were present, except some, but it's still very touching to sit around one big table and EAT haha. The most hang fuk thing on earth right. We actually didnt visit a lot of houses, cause we can stay at the same house for very very long time.. especially place with good lightning and nice to take photos.. Haha. 

So, the first day, ended beautifully, time spent with them will never be boring haha, tho every time one of us will get frustrated while sending photos :B

I went back to my granny's house on the second day of CNY, stayed for one night, and spent time with lots of cousiesss. I have a lot of cousins fyi. Went for midnight mamak session and also Karaoke session in the middle of the night, slept at 4am if not mistaken. Life is meant to be yolo so who cares :b 

Before going back home, we went for a family dinner, which took up three tables haha, we are in this huge numbers, including all uncles and aunties and cousies. I have 7 uncles and 4 aunties, and my granny has 12 children, ya. It's that big family. haha. 

Hehe, so second day and third day of CNY ended pretty awesome as well, it's so sad that the fifth day of CNY, I had to go back to uni, and go to class, and etc etc, everyone is still in cny mood tho. Hmm, the busy uni life is back again. We were so busy with the choir practices, every nights, 7pm to 10pm. Non stop practising for our annual event CCMO. Go to class, choir practices, eat, sleep, that summed up my CNY from the fifth day onwards haha. But luckily, our effort paid off at the end, CCMO was a big success ! Will tell about it in the next post, stay tuned ! 

That turning point.

Hey there, it's me. The second week of semester 2 had just ended, and within this week, there were some changes on me, it's kinda a big deal actually, cause it is going to change my entire uni life, and also life after graduating etc bla bla. Hmm the title of the story is, "changing your progression" haha ! Yeap. I changed my progression, I changed my decision, I changed my degree course, I changed my mind. WHY ? I do not have a particular reason in my head, I really dont know why my mind changed like so suddenly, there are a lot of reasons, a lot of issues affecting me, but what I can sum up is, the introduction to Pharmacy as a Profession class, did changed my mind a lot. The first day of class, the lecturer gave some briefings about the module, and of course some introductions of the Mpharm course. The entire two hours class, I was sitting there, whispering to myself "wtf, why am I here, why I chose this course", instead of showing excitements what I showed was bitter faces. And from that moment onward I started to think about how I want my future to be. Do I really want to be a pharmacist ? Am I suitable for this ? Will I survive the four years ? Is this what I want ? and the answer is, No. The first thought of taking Mpharm, it's because I think I like Chemistry, I want to study something that's related to Chemistry, and so I chose Mpharm, of course being a pharmacist is not all about chemistry, there are some other subjects that we need to learn as well, like communication skills. That's definitely not a thing I am good at, especially facing patients, you need to explain stuffs, or communicate with them, comfort them, and this was the issue I left out, when I chose Mpharm at first. That's why people always say think wisely before you act, this is so true. Cause it's the final sem, and now I only found out what Mpharm is really about, and it's not the thing I want. So I changed my mind. Not that I am not capable to study Mpharm, it's I do not want to. Plus the passionate towards Chemistry is no longer here, and I am more into biology now haha. Yes I am this unstable for all the time. But for this time, I am pretty sure that, pharmacist is not the way I want my future to be. Definitely not my type. I actually went through a really hard time while making decision, all kind of issues ran through my mind, mood level always was constantly down and down and down. Cause it's so confused and annoyed to solve this kind of problem. And I have decidophobia haha. But then the conclusion was finally made after that. I actually feel lucky that I realised this now, better to change now since I am still in foundation than I regret after I enter undergraduate year. I'm sorry Dad, I know that phone call to you telling that I dont want to take Mpharm anymore scared you like hell, I am so so sorry that I made a wrong decision at the beginning, but still, you gave me your support, which I really appreciate it. Feel kinda relief tho, it's so happy that you can finally say goodbye to IELTS and OSCE (tests you have to go through if you wanna enter that hella Mpharm). Phewwww ! This turning point of my life which I decided to make it happen after few nights of insomnia, no matter it's a correct or a wrong decision, it's a decision I made for myself, go for it and you will reach the destination. Yes I can do it, this is just the starting line, wish me good luck ! See you at the ending line :)

End x Start

The first month of twenty fifteen ended, see how fast the time flies ? I thought I just celebrated new year with the wadat girls, and I thought I just ended my finals and welcomed my sem break ? The fact now is, sem break had came to an end, and a brand new semester begins. It's our final sem for foundation year, we will be entering degree this September.. sounds old and terrible. Anyhow, life still goes on and on, no matter how long or how hard the journey will be, we still have to keep on walking, and that's called life.

So my January 2015 ended beautifully, cause I spent it with Wangleehom ! After twenty plus days of countdown, and finally the long awaited day was here. Yesh ! It's the Starlight Concert 2015 held by Ecoworld, for your information the concert venue was right near my uni, and it's freeeee ! I could still remember when we find out this concert we were life, holy shit Wangleehom is coming to Semenyih !!! I have no reason to not to go see him, NO REASON. The concert was awesomeee, cause there's leehom :) He sang for one hour, thirteen songs, we were at quite a good spot cause we could see him clearly on stage, though it's a minimised version of him, BUT that's enough. The moment the intro of 'Now It's The Time' was played, I feel like cryinggg, the dream had finally came true, I'm not a die hard Leehom's fan, but he is the one who went through the past eighteen years with me, and I am really into his songs recently, especially the song, 'Now It's The Time'. I'm lovin it very very muchhh. Though it's a free concert but the whole setting of the venue including the stage, spotlights etc, it's really great. All of us gone crazeeey as usual, shout like no one cares, I feel so sorry to the one who was beside me haha. And I also watched the most magnificent fireworks display, on the last day of January, with the amazing bunch of friends. *one of the bucket list checked* It was a beautiful night, with leehom, with friends, with beautiful songs, with laughter, with screams, with cheers, with your love :)

The next day, aha, I saw leehom once againnnnnn. I know, this is over limit, how can you see leehom continuously in two days, hahaha ! Very sorry, I did. Saw him once again in Pavillion the next day, on his new album [ Your Love ] autograph session. The crowds over there the moment we reached, no joking it's very terrible. All I could see is people standing here and there to get their best spots. Short girl problem : You have to be in the first row in order to see Leehom, haha. luckily I managed to squeeze myself to somewhere first row. This is wayyy tooo C R A Z Y for seeing him twice, and this time, nearer ! He was just right in front of me, although there was a decoration tree which was a really annoying tree blocking my eyesight. I am satisfied, very very satisfied, Leehom marked the awesomeness of the beginning of February :) It's also a kisiao day spent with the kisiaos. Someone lost her voice which made me laughed all the day, failed selfies with the twin towers etc etc. It had been six months plus, from the really awkward friendship to the really close one, I dont know why I just feel it's amazing how this came through, especially while flashing back the past memories, how we went closer to each other, I am so thankful to have you all, sincerely :) haha I know you'll be laughing at me if you see this, i am kinda emotional tonight so please bear with me. Continue the kisiaoness, endlessly ! 

With love, there it goes the remarkable end of January and start of February. Hope everyone is having a cool start of the second month of the year, hope everyone has a smooth begin of the new semester ( though we are currently pissed off due to some grouping issues ), but no matter what the final semester needs to go beyond crazy, and to the infinity. Keep on going people !
