Convocation and Awards Ceremony

I've been sleepless for the past nights thinking of Convocation and what I'm gonna wear. Nope, it's not my Convocation, but I attended in the capacity of an award achiever. 2000 bucks for outstanding Intermediate results. I'm happy, proud of myself and most importantly, motivated to ahieve greater heights next year.


Mum wasn't able to make it so I thought never mind, but manatau she drove off the only car in the house, and I was left speechless, worrying about transport. Yes, in the nic of time worrying not about my hair or shoes but my mode of transport. Brilliant. Next, it was the fact being stuck at KTM worrying about whether the train will arrive late or not. Later, when I arrive at KLCC, it was worrying about the fact whether I'll slip on stage or not. Yes, I was anxious for no reason. Everytime something big hits, I'm always nervous.

That aside, I saw my friends there, some came to receive awards, some graduated, congrats. Some came to perform. Rotaractors came to sell flowers by convention. Some came to volunteer. But all, I'm sure haboured the similar mindset, which is by witnessing glorious moments of recognition of such, we will get motivated, inspired and encouraged to inject effort in whatever we're doing now so that next year, we can similarly, go up stage with heads held high, listening to the thunderous applause from the audiences. At least when I received my award from Prof. Wayne Morrission, I felt so. I felt the overwhelming emotion, the surge of motivation, amidst the mixture of emotions, the settled fact si that I want it to happen, and I want more.


I felt happy because it was a proof to myself that I have did my duty as a student, and I performed it well. I wished my family was there to share. As a conclusion, it was one of the happiest moments in my life.

Above all, I thank God for His grace and everlasting love, for repeatedly blessing me with wonders, and forgiving me for the bad I've done. My family, for the support by any means. My friends, for actively (or passively XD) encouraging me. Tutors, for all the knowledge and guidance. Last but not least, Rotaractors, for the flowers (although you guys made a great deal of noise when giving the bouquet to me, but nontherless, you all gave, with a few stalks pluck out. Hehe.), and for giving me the support of attending the ceremony, ancilary to the purpose of selling flowers.


To the greatest bunch of people in the world, thank you.

Morning Motivation

Students in Harvard Library at 4am.

'It's a system of mediocracy here. Everyone else are idiots, the system moulded you to become the same. It's the sytem over there which forces you to become intelligent, and you will be intelligent like the others. They reject and resent the kind of mediocracy we have over here. It's a record standing too long to be broken. I'm saying that it can be broken, it is possible. Nobody guarantees that it'll be easy, but it's possible.'

Don't Let Anyone Tell You What You Can't Do

Needless to say, revision week kicks in and hence starts the new saga of hectic student life: Class from Mondays to Sundays with long hours of continuous lectures. I totally get the mood. So does many. The library is so crowded nowadays with shocking silence despite the congregation.

Probably I seem very stressed out. I am because I do. But it still doesn't negate the fact I relax a lot at home: from TV to movies. But so long as I strike a balance, it'll be okay, I guess.

The busier I get, I start to get the feel that life is starting to get better.

Right on track I should say.

There are lots of sacrifice made, but I still think it is worth it. Though results cannot be seen now, I can judge that small differences I make to my habits are disciplining me. I'm so starting to get the gist of becoming a responsible adult. =)

I want to foresee myself going into the exam hall with confidence and leave it smiling. I want to see myself receiving results with a contented smile. Small goals like this, will make up the ultimate big goal in my life.

19th Annual Tun Hamid Omar Moot Court Competition

After all the drams behind the moot court competition, the results for preliminary rounds were announced after our last round of mooting session this morning. The first round against Edwin and Cheng Yee went haywire a bit because Sue Ann and I were super uber unprepared and we went panicked. Hence we lost the first round. I admit I was a little upset seeing our effort was kinda wasted because of panic. However we buckled up on our second round and we won the case and the moot as well. The best thing was we were qualified to the semi finals, which was quite unexpected. I was very happy because it definitely means our effort was well paid and acknowledged. We did put lots of effort behind this moot competition, as well as sacrificing much. When I knew for the fact our moot journey is not ending at this stage, my heart takes a little flip, appreciative that I had been given more chances of improving myself. =)


Sue Ann the my moot partner. Senior counsel for the appellant. She got the best speaker during our second round of mooting.


Besties who mooted. =) Those who lend me a place to sleep and took care of me when I got hung over. Thanks buddies. Love you guys.


Inter Mar/April dudes who mooted.


The girls.


With the respondents in the second round.

Actually during the first round the judge was pretty lenient. Just that we freaked out a bit cause we did not properly cite our authorities. The second round, the judge shot us with questions and I was like what the... It was quite pressuring to answer them and I was tembaking most of the time. Well, everything has came to an end, but we still have our semi finals on the 21st. So till then, all the best to us. Praying hard we will get to the finals. =)

Mona Lisa Smile

After so long, I breathed.

Today I am elected President of the Library Board of SMK Maxwell. Azman is my assistant. Yoong Sin is my secretary, See Bee her assistant. Yoong Ling is my treasurer, Suat Teng her assistant. Together us six, will establish a better identity for the library.

I am extremely happy because I finally had the opportunity to present my leadership skills. Together with my fellow librarians, we will improve the library, and make us well respected for our ability. I am also proud to say that the seniors had that trust and faith in me, in such that they elected me as a president above all.

I had sacrificed a lot to come so far. As Julius Caesar said, I came, I saw, I conquered. Yes, I indeed conquered above all. And it was indeed Mona Lisa's Smile. So mysterious, not charming, yet complicated and meaningful.
