Today will mark the end of my first semester in college. Not to mention closing the first chapter of my college life. Seniors graduating, preparing for the incoming batch, etc.... So much are going around me. For six months, SIX months I had been living in this area so-called Lembah Beringin. For six months I had endured the toughness of A-level subject and for six months I had live without my parents and still surviving here.
In a glimpse of an eye, the long six months had gone. I know, I am contradicting myself but I do think it is long. Yet, after the semester dinner yesterday, I had changed my mind because after this break, we all will become seniors. For the seniors at present, they are leaving today. I guess life never really turned out to what we had imagine. During January, I was wondering myself how am I going to survive here without parents??? And now here I am, in my chalet blogging. This experience really changed me alot. Let see:-
1) I can live without my parents although I still go back once a fortnight.
2) I am independent as in I do my own laundry, make my own bed and clean up the whole chalet.
3) I am more discipline as in I study daily basis and no last minute work, let alone General Studies though.
4) I am more active in cocurricular activities as in I help in many events.
5) I exercise now. I REALLY DO EXERCISE NOW!!!!!
Last but not least, I learn that family is really important in one's life.
So, I am closing the first chapter of my life in KYUEM for now.

So long, Farewell peeps...
This week marks the end of my first semester in KYUEM, and goodbyes for my friends who had already or going to leave this college.
Firstly, there's my dear friend Anju. She got herself a JPA scholarship to study medicine in overseas which I am very proud of her, yet she would have to do her foundation in Monash University. She came back this Thursday to say goodbye with us. This event took place in my chalet. We chat for awhile, take pictures and finally her parents keep calling her and that marks the end of the time she spent in KYUEM. Each of us, the girls, hug her and bid her farewell. We sent her to her car and wave goodbye as she step her foot out of the college. Although it's just a mere 6 months period, yet I felt grief when she really left us. Gone. Not coming back here. She is really a special friend of mine and we share secrets which we swear we won't tell anyone. Now, she's gone. I had lost someone who I can share secret with here.
Secondly, there's Azri and Syazwan. Both of them got Petronas Scholarship and will be going to Taylors. I am not very close to them but being in the same batch, we do see each other often. Especially Azri, as we are in the same group during induction. Azri left us at Wednesday which I had missed the farewell party because I did not know they had changed the time and NOBODY even told me about that! I am so sorry, Azri!! As for Syazwan, we had his farewell yesterday and that time, Liyana also told that she would be leaving our batch as she got scholarship. Well, our batch sure is getting smaller and smaller, eh....
Last but not least, Ban Long. He will be graduating this semester. His Korean hairstyle won't be seen hanging around college anymore and we won't get to bump into him during mealtime or kiasuing time. He's a very unique friend, I would say. I can't exactly put it in words but yeah, he's someone that you won't get to meet everyday. Me and Dal would not have a model to judge whether we are MIA( Missing In Action) or not because the king of MIA would not be around anymore.
Anju, I would really miss you and have a good life in Monash!
Azri, Syazwan and Liyana, our batch would not be the same without you guys and good luck in your future undertakings.
Ban Long, take care and hope you will release an album someday in near future!:P

Paranormal, unexplainable things
Do you believe in spirits? I am pretty sure most people will say yes, though minority like my dad do exist where they say there is no such thing as ghost in this world. For example, it is not proven by scientific researches and ghostbusters always come back empty-handed. The truth is, there are always something which cannot be explained or proven. In other words, paranormal stuff. UFO, Martians, Vampires... Who invented these things?? No one. It is being passed down generations by generations that these things are true.
As I creep to my adulthood, I starts to think maybe paranormal things really don't exist and they are just mere myths and stories. Yet, my sister's experience changed my thoughts. Last weekend, I went back and my sister just came back from a 3 days 2 nights camp in Taman Malaysia in my hometown. It is a mini size jungle with chalets and few show aboriginal houses and that place is really nice to go for a walk. Not alone, of course. Yet, you will never know what lies underneath those shady trees and abandoned houses, especially at night.
My sister's camp had night hunt every night and it is not the regular night hunt but sort of a ghostbusting night hunt. They divided them into groups of seven and give each group leader a candle and 3 matches. They have to walk around the whole area of Taman Malaysia at 12am, are the committee crazy or just plain dumb? Oh well, my sister's group start walking(she was the 6th of the 7 people) and suddenly she felt the boy behind her was cold. They hold hands when walking and the committee warn them not to let go each other no matter what happens, obvious enough?? Anyway, the boy's hand was as cold as ice in an instance and my sister felt something was wrong, so she signal the leader to start counting the group members by saying your number out loud.1..2...3...4..5..6........ No seven.*gasp* As that guy did not answer, my sister began to have goosebump. She said the code of their camp, if he answer the real code means he is still him; If he did not answer or saying the same thing as my sister, then*ahem* "he" is something else. And... He did not answer my sister! Ok!! If I was her, I would have just fainted right on that spot!! The committee who was following them notice something was wrong and start swinging the joysticks around that boy. And the temperature returned immediately! Wierd, right??
That was not the end of it. After that, they reached a dead end and have to make a U-turn. My sister felt something was there but she doesn't dare to look at it. When they are turning, there it is, standing there and looking at the group of kids. My sister saw it and she noticed the boy behind her saw it as well, as he was squeezing my sister's hand like there's no tomorrow. Unfortunately, my sister doesn't want to tell me what she saw, but I think it is better to remain it a secret. She told me it is nothing like what we pictured or seen in movies. It doesn't look like human.
After the night hunt, the committee decided to pray for the ghosts and began to lighten the joysticks. Gusts of wind blew from nothing and rushed down to the direction of joysticks. The joysticks are burnt faster than normal do. All the little kids of form 1 cried when they saw what happened. Well, you can't possibly blame them 'cause I would cry if I were them. Then, the ex-committee began playing hide and seek at 2am as they say only 2am the ghosts will come out. Are they insane or just plain stupid??? Who would want to see those things??? One of my friend, yes, same age as me, hide behind a tree. It took them 2 hours to find him, the wierd thing is that he said he can see them looking for him and he even called out the committee. Nobody saw him and they are 100% certain that the spirits had hide him and he became "invisible". I don't believee it initially but my mum said it's true because she experienced it herself back when she was a schoolgirl.
After what had happened to her, it makes me think twice of going to jungle or camping. These things really do exist and no kidding, we can't see them but who knows, they are everywhere. So, no jungle for me from now!

The angels and demons
Angels, the good ones, the messenger of God, the kind hearted ones...
Demons, the bad ones, the messenger from Hell, the evil ones....
Everybody knows that, right? But who decided who are the angels and who are the demons? Humans?? Well, yeah! Yet, who are we to decide? Not even a person in this world are born bad. There is no such thing as innate in good and bad. It is the nurture or the situation that force someone to become bad. Take a government of a country for instance, they are the ones that supposed to protect the citizens' welfare and healthcare, yet more than 5 countries governments are corrupted. All they care is the money they are making out of unfinished projects or for finished project, they used more money than they should have used. They should have been angels yet they are more like demons in our world. This so-called angels are the real devils.
On the other end, the "devils" are the poor citizens who doesn't have enough money because the government had drained their income through income tax, tax, tax.. In the end, they had to snatch from other people because they had families to feed. The devils of this society have a reason for their action. I am not biased towards these criminals but this is the truth.
So, who is the real angels and demons? Think yourself.
