Paper effigies...

This morning just went to pray my past-away grandpa at "Guang Xi Cemetery" as "Cheng Beng" is approaching...although the exact date is next Saturday, many people already started to pay their dead relatives a visit while some might wait until the exact date arrives or maybe later...this is only my second year to 'celebrate' this so-called festival, so i don't really know much about this annual affair...as i know, this festival allows the living people to pay their respect to their ancestors and clean up the graves if necessary...i think this is the best way to ensure the people to remember their loved ones and do something for them even after they had died...food are brought along as offerings to the dead like dumplings, 'pau', chicken and various types of cakes(kuih)...paper effigies too are brought and to be burnt so that the dead at nether world could receive it...however, this is just a belief and many of us do not know whether the dead will receive it or not...when it comes to paper effigy, i'm so fascinated with so many looks-alike items that can be found in our everyday lives...the differences are the brand names which sound almost the same as the real items and of course it's made of paper or cardboard...during the old days, people used to burn only money and clothes but the dead now can even enjoy "luxurious" lifestyle with so many different types if "items" nowadays...the paper effigy business seems to advance with technology and they surely making big money from it...it's not all about traditional items as people tend to die at young age and "they" too require the modern items to live at nether world...so, businessman in this industry took this opportunity to widen their business by producing more relevant items...anyway, we still wondering will these "items" disappear in this world and reappear in the nether world?...

Friendship tested...

After requested for help through blogging a few days ago, i have found out that many of my friends are so caring and willing to give out their opinions on how to solve my problems...really thanks to all of you for so understanding and helpful...this shows that friendship is worth bonding and sustaining it...now i really know that my time is not wasted for building a new friendship...it's because friends will eventually be the one who will help you out when you are in troubles...they are willing to lend their hands to you whenever you needed them...thanks again to those who helped me to sort things out...even with all your opinions, i'm still undecided of which college to choose...now i might turn my head back for Apiit since i have no other better choice to choose from...after reading a few education related posts in Lowyat forum, i'm freak out from studying in UCSI because their IT courses have some problems and so do their lecturers...this college also famous for its Negro students and i strictly dislike them...not that i'm racist but i think they have "discipline" problems and i worry about my safety...anyway, i have to reconsider all over again and think of ways to solve my transportation problem...i hope i can do this quick and fast...whatsoever, i still welcome all of your precious opinions...

Need help...

So fast March is coming to its end and i still haven't decide where to study yet..arghh...why is this problem so troublesome?....previously i had announced that i will be studying at Apiit but due to transportation problem, i have to cancel this choice and remake my decision...=.=...i know Apiit is very near but there is no public transport reachable...that's why i have to eliminate this institution and find another more convenient place to study...so mafan la...i seriously need to apply for a college right now before it's too late...April is coming and i have do it quick...my parents non-stop nagging me about this problem as if i won't continue studying...the pressure is just building within me everyday...i really scared that one day i might burst...i seriously need help in deciding which place to study...who can help me?....

Problems again...

These few days kept on thinking of all my tertiary education problems...firstly is the money problem as every private college offers almost the same expensive fees...there is only slightly difference among each other...but now i think i most probably can solve this problem since i'm able to afford the foundation year and borrow loan from PTPTN to pursue my degree years...i will consider this problem solved for this while...next is the scholarship problem...many of you suggested to me that i should try to apply for a scholarship but i have a strong feeling that this will not be successful...it's because most of the scholarships require the applicants to have very good results and active in co-curriculum activities...if i'm lucky enough to pass these two requirements, then i might have to undergo interview which i think is the hardest part...the truth is i have no confident in my speaking skill at all...let's say if i really strike the jackpot, i still have to maintain my result to prevent my scholarship from flying away....as i say, getting the scholarship is not the problem but maintaining it is the problem...i know that my results have been fluctuating and this post a problem to me if i'm to keep the scholarship...the third problem is still the transportation problem...how am i going to go there?...does anyone know who is studying at Apiit and lives nearby to me so that i can car pool with him/her?...i must figure out this solution as fast as possible so i don't need to worry about this anymore...please let me know if you have the solution...thank you very much....there are still other problems but i'm lazy to mention it out...these three main problems are enough to cause me to grow another few strands of white hair....=.=...

Money problem...

Now that i have taken my result, i must decide where to study now...previously, i have fixed my choice on UTAR and APIIT but now UTAR most probably is out of my list since i won't be going to Kampar...i know now left Apiit but the fees over there are extremely expensive...i don't know how am i going to handle the fees even if i take loan from PTPTN...the whole course including foundation year cost me about RM60000++....i think by the time i fully repay the debt, i'm already very old...lol...another problem is how am i going to reach there if i really study at Apiit...the place is quite near to my place literally but there is no public transport reachable...haiz...if i have a car then this will not be a problem even a second hand car will solve the problem...now i can't even handle the fees and i'm talking about owning a car...stop dreaming la....this world is really materialistic...money can solve almost any problem and buy anything except for one thing...HAPPINESS...money can buy entertainment which brings happiness but that will not be the true happiness you are looking for in your life....anyway, money is still the most important thing in this materialistic world...everything is a game for the rich...oops, i'm talking out of topic again...don't know why every time i mention about studies sure link to the rich people...this is just my opinion and i don't mean to harm the rich fellas....

Unexpected...

Fuh...yesterday just got my SPM result..and i must say it was an unexpected result for me...i never thought of getting this result but it has now became a reality...although i can't get the best result, i am still happy with it as long i know i did my best during the examination...really thanks to those who helped me all this while that i can achieve this result...i must dedicate this result especially to my parents and teachers who taught me...without their guidance and supports i think i might not get this result...of course i must not miss to thank myself for working so hard throughout the final year...although i only worked real hard during the last month before SPM, i think it is enough for me the get this result...there should not be any despair or regret in my feelings since i have done my best and i've got my reward which is this memorable result slip...congratulate to those who scored well or very well in this examination and those who can't get what they wished for, work harder and the next moment of pride might be yours...it's not the end of the world...always remember to look forward and search for the answer that you are seeking for...
After getting the result, my friends and i went to Mid Valley to have a celebration...we watched Seven Pounds and i must say this is the most boring movie i have ever watched...firstly we wanted to see Love Matters but too bad yesterday there was no show...i don't know why i agreed to see this movie but i really regret seeing this movie...it was so damn boring...i do agree that this movie is very meaningful but the way they show it is very boring...i can't expect Will Smith will star in this movie as he is the humorous type of guy...this show really cheated my seven ringgit....i had rather see Dragonball Evolution if i know this movie is so......

I'm so Boring...

Really boring these days...but don't know why i still enjoy this carefree lifestyle...lol...maybe because of this really "nothing to do" life made me nothing to worry about...=.=...i do worry a little about my result now...hehe...anyway, it's still a result..good or bad you still have to accept the fact...stop talking about the result ba...so boring...besides this, i really have nothing to talk about already...my posts are getting more boring each day...and i only update my blog twice a week or maybe less...this shows how boring my life is...nothing happened, if have any also not worth mentioning...am i so desperate to update my blog until i post these craps up?...maybe...i think it is better if i stop it right now before you all went asleep...haha...

Where should i start from?

For the past two months, i've been receiving offering letters and even calls from different colleges...some i have given them my details but some i didn't...i wonder where they got it from...sometimes i do fed up with all these but maybe they are warning me that it's time to go back to school and get the brain cracking...lol...i hope this time won't be arriving so soon...i'm starting to get lazy as time past...haiz...result is coming out soon and it's time for me to decide which college or university to enrol in...where can i start from?...i didn't even take the initiative to find out more about each college...some of you who are crazy about studying might give every college a call to enquire more information or attend open day...but i done nothing of those...i just sit back at home and surf their websites to know more about them...i don't think i get anything by doing this...lol...i've attended edu fair but it's also useless to me...visiting every college and get their counsellors to counsel you might be the best way to decide but i don't have the will to do so...what can i do?...often, their websites will lack out of the most important thing that i wanted to know which is the fees...none of the colleges will post their fees online fearing the students will runaway once they knew about the cost...they should not be afraid about it if their price is reasonable and worth it...they are really 'kiasu'...i wonder how some of you can decide so fast without thinking much...maybe they have the money so they can spend it anywhere they want even the fees are expensive...that is what make it difference between the rich and the poor...i think i should stop here...if not i will be writing an essay about this...i don't want to talk bad about the rich already...

Releasing...

OMG...SPM result is coming out in two weeks time...i think most of you have already knew it...i wonder how well i fare in this exam...everything will be unveiled on that day..even though i am not sure which date the result is coming out, i guess the result will be released between 11-13 of March...just wait for the news ba...
Once again i have been asked the same question again...the same old question each of my (long time no see) friend will ask...which is 'What did you do at home?'...=.=...i've been answering this question since December if i'm not mistaken...and every time i will reply with the same answer...refer back my previous post and you will know the answer..lol...but if you do ask me again, i will still glad to reply you with the same old answer...haha...nothing special happened these days so nothing to comment about...^.^
