Dear Bloggie, I realized I have made a lot of empty promises to you since 2011. Therefore, I am going to update my blog everyday till the day I am back to Malaysia. :) However, I am not going to update this weekend, because I am heading to 阳嗍，桂林 tomorrow with my colleagues. I actually started to look forward and gets a little excited because it sounds fun. The best thing is, I don't need to pay for the trip! This is the second trip that they are sponsoring me. Oh mine, the hospitality here is awesome!
Today is also the last time I am teaching in my marketing class. Next week onward we will be revising for finals. After class, I stayed back to discuss their group assignments and chat a little with the other students.
I am having a dilemma.
Final year students here can't afford to fail the subjects this semester. The system in this polytechnic is different from every private uni in Malaysia. All students MUST graduate at the same time. If they did not pass their subjects and they will only get a certificate which signifies that one has only went for classes but did not pass all the subjects. In other words, their certificates will be meaningless even though they have completed the other subjects but only fail ONE subject in the college.
On the other hand, I can't just pass the students by giving them free marks! If they are almost there, I am kind enough to help them by adding 1 to 2 extra marks. However, as I know some of them are far away from passing currently, I don't feel right to add 20-30 marks for them just to let them pass. This will be unfair for the other students who worked so hard to pass. I have warned them since the first day of the class. I will fail whoever deserves to fail. The class will be taught in bilingual language, even so, all the exam questions will be in English. It is important for all of them to attend the classes and to PAY ATTENTION to every classes especially they do not have a good English speaking and writing skills. Some of them think I am kidding because the lecturers here will try their very best to let them pass. But too bad, I am from Malaysia, I work differently. Besides, I've already make the class as easy as it can. I used 18 weeks to teach only 3 chapters, 15 slides, they really can't complain much! Despite these, I cannot bear to fail them because the price they gonna pay is too high.
So what can I do....
Right now, I can only convince them to work harder and gave them extra classes hoping them can answer in their final exams. It's not the end yet. There is one more group assignment coming up which carries 20% and also final exams which carries 40%. If they are willing to work harder, passing with 60% is not a big problem.

Countdown: 15 Days
15 days = Half a month
It was quite a pleasant night yesterday and I thought I can survive this. But today is a disaster. Im so stressed up looking at the documents that I need to complete by tomorrow! I feel so demotivated again because I don't understand the system and the Chinese terms they are using! It's not like I don't understand Chinese but I've only seen the professional terms in English. Today I don't feel like doing anything but I CAN'T! BECAUSE SUBMISSION IS DUE TOMORROW!
I can assure you that the stress I am having here is exactly the same I am having during my university life. I really doubt whether I still want to be a lecturer in the future. Maybe I am just having serious homesick. Just realized four months is my limit to be away from home. I miss everything in Malaysia, especially the foods, my family and friends and my daily routines! I used to get sick of my daily routines and wanted a change. But this change ain't good. Anyway, when I get back, I want to make use of my time. Instead of working non-stop, I want to learn something and improve myself on some areas. Maybe a new language, a new musical instruments, or a new subject. I don't know yet. Every single seconds my mind is full of what-to-do when I am back to Malaysia, can't wait to feel the moment of excitement when I am on the plane, saying the word 'FINALLY' loudly in my heart. Another cool stuffs is my cousin is going back on the 10th of July too to Malaysia, maybe we can meet up!
My dad is buying a new car for me. The reason? Because I am going home and they are four people who can/will need to drive. I really appreciate my dad for still buying me a car even though I am a working adult now, I guess maybe my dad is going to pay for the down-payment only. Uhm...........
I am heading to a place called 阳嗍 for a trip this coming weekend. Well I hope it will be fun.... because I am not really looking forward to it. I just wanna stay in my room, watch The Arrow and New Girl, play my The Sims 3.......... oh god... not in a mood for a trip, probably because I've been to quite some trips recently and I need a rest now. Or it's just the people that I am going with...
Bye Bloggie. :(

16 More Days
Hello! I figured my blog is pointless when I have a blog link on my Instagram. Haha! I did not forget you Bloggie ( I hope you like your new name, Bloggie). Well I kept diary entries starting from April writing my physical and emotional experiences in China. The firewall was not stable and I can't access to Google sometimes. That's why I did not update here. For your information, China has blocked Twitter, Google, Facebook, Youtube and etc. Life is hard when you need to use those replacements like Baidu, QQ and etc.
Anyway, I will update my last 15 days in China. Can't update a lot now because I am very busy today. Gonna prepare for my last class for Chinese Presentation subject in this semester!
Having class until 9pm, my god. I hate Tuesdays.

Updates
It's been quite a long while that I didn't update my blog. wooops. Anyway I keep a diary now. Instagram, wechat wall and so many other social networks for me to keep updating about myself is seriously too much. I am here today because I just bought a new laptop, and I wanna try typing with it. So why not blogging, I thought.
It's 2015 and it means I am 22 now. I can truly feel that I am an adult now as I finished all my subjects in uni and I am a full time working adults now. Like all the others fresh graduates would say, I really miss the old days that I need to attend classes, my club's meeting and so on. The feelings get stronger after I start watching GLEE. Besides that, I can strongly feel everything inside me is decreasing. My metabolism rate, creativity, memory......... gosh.
Soon, I will be heading to YangJiang, China for my internship as a tutor in a college. This year will be truly a brand new kind of life to me. I am going to stay in a foreign country for four months all by myself. And then, I am going to so many places in this year which include Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. After re-watch my girl (korean dramas), I wanted to visit a snowing country. Being able to talk with "gas" looks real cool! I've tried that in Melbourne during winter and I was so excited! Too bad our phones are unable to capture the "gas"!!!
Life in Lollipop as an intern is just normal. I am used to work there since I was an intern for two months and part-timer for a year in Lollipop. Life's better compared to my first internship. I've got all the trusts and respects in the company. I've got one of my close friends working with me. I've got everything under control!
Alright I think I summarized my recent life. Nothing really different happened YET. Bye!

Yay! I read ;)
I used to tell people that i dont read. I used to think i have adhd so i cant really pay attention for too long. In fact, i actually loved reading.
Someone on the other day reminded me about my reading habits. I used to read a lot during my primary school. I always finish reading the text books even before school reopens. I was not forced, i guess i could say that i was a highly curious person. I can also rmb how i used to persuade my mum to buy more books for me to read! And i can read the same book for many times when im waiting for my mum to buy me the new ones. I was kinda happy when i found out i actually read a lot during childhood. That is why i have a mini library at home! Im not sure since when, i hate going inside to the library because it made me feel stress. I guess it made me stopped reading.
Im not sure since when and why i stopped reading. Good news is, i start reading again! Reading is really something awesome. It actually makes me feel less lonely when im feeling lonely, it also gave me a lot of interesting insights, it even manipulate my moods sometimes. I also feel that reading makes me became more mature in some ways. I cant really read for a long time like i used to be. I hope i can read more like i used to be, i hope its not too late to realize the fun of reading.
But still, i prefer gaining insights via media even though the reliability is quite low. Haha.

Challenge
The lecturer said we only need 2 hours to complete the assignment. Unbelievable. In fact, most of them only used 3 hours to complete the family assignment.
Let's see whether it is true or not. 1...2... get set.... START! 2:22p.m.
