The time has finally come... The final farewell and the end of my university phase of life. I believe this post shall be a long one for me to write to recap all the 3 good years of memories and so much sentiments of thoughts in play while concluding all my 6 semesters thoughts here.
What really brought me into writing this was the upset feeling of seeing my friends leaving the university and the thought of never seeing them again. And it's probably true that the last time seeing those familiar faces would never appear again~ The friends that I have spent three years with, which are my coursemates and AIESEC circle of friends.
Everything to do will be associated with "for the very last time" while spending the last moment in uni. It would be the last time for me walking the hallway. The last time stepping into the library. The last time walking the same path. The last time breathing uni's air. The last time to spend good times with friends who are going to leave. The last time to do the same routine everyday. And the list goes on...
I could even remember from the very first day of my uni life and the experience of stepping into the university without knowing what will happen throughout these 3 years. Along the journey, I have met wonderful friends and how everyone have changed along the way including myself.
Looking back at myself to someone who don't really mix with the 'clique' people eventually turns my whole world upside down. It may turns out ugly sometimes which is common but in the end, friends are still friends no matter if the journey is tough, as we all travel on the same route together.
Today really marked the final day of seeing my friends as most of them will be heading back just like I do bidding farewell to one another. It's a sad farewell knowing that day have came where separation makes its way.
It would be that time again, to flip through those old photos one day, smiling and flipping through those happy faces wondering what all of them are doing right now and hope to go back in time to that exact moment the picture was taken to look at those happy faces once again....
The last paragraph really put me to tears.
Bidding farewell to all my great friends out there and how I wish I would meet them again somewhere someday. Definitely if I have the chance to.

Bye Bye Uni Pre-Symptom
In less than 2 weeks and I'm done with uni... And dammit, now regretted of not applying Master Degree... To think back, uni life is so much better than working~ *sigh*
Here's an update for failing my interview~ Been to Sunway Group interview and that was actually my second time attending a formal interview... I would presumed that it was the toughest interview I went through. Stuck in a room with two interviewers over 1 hour and a half screening me over... The worst part from THAT particular interview is that now I'm having post interview symptom whereby thinking all the possible wrong answers I gave...
To recap~ It's a pain in the ass... And now am feeling guilty of being who I am in that interview~ So there's this saying about "Be yourself, show them who you are" Right... Screw that statement! It's not about being who you are but being who you are not that matters in an interview~ What really struck me, would be in order to be like-able, impressive and secure a pass. Have to make up some fancy stories and being humble at the same time....
What that really means is to give a favorable response instead of an honest response. Say 'yes' instead of 'no'. Say 'can' instead of 'can not'. Say 'that is my first choice" instead of "that is arranged". It is essential to be a pessimistic in an interview and probably screwing one up after being employed knowing one is not superman but just someone who wears the red underwear outside... But that probably will not happen because once one being employed means you got the job and you have to show them that you are superman and start wearing red underwear outside to work as a fresh start. Anyhow it's a lesson learnt. So be a YES man in an interview. (they won't know it's a no no in your brain)
Less than two weeks more before officially ending my university. And come to think of it, it's less than two weeks and I will be flying to Taiwan! Excited? Honestly, there's not even any anticipation and excitement element for it... Perhaps it's because it's examination week and midst of rushing my PSM so that I can graduate happily. And hopefully I do~
It's reaching the end chapter of my student life. More gatherings are popping up one after another. To have the final moment of seeing familiar faces and also to remember the smiling and laughing expressions on each faces~ That's so sentimental~ I shall just stop here~
Till den~ My next post would be a new start~ :)

Be Different, Stay Different
Being different is one of the most important traits in life. Be it for me or for you~
Under certain circumstances, it's pretty difficult being yourself. And its even harder when not knowing what your traits are and should be. I think everyone will surely come to this phase of time to decide who to be and who not to be. Of course, we do idolize the people we wish to be. And even hope someday being like them. I do favor those great idols, but what really matters, these people are just the set of examples to follow suit. We can never exactly be like them and live someone's else life.
What's more even in some situations, I am not myself. Life is so like the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde where we live of both different personality traits. We wanted people to view us differently than who we really are~ To impress~ To boast~ Or even to hide the other side of ugliness within~ Putting ourselves on the stage of act could be harmful to ourself~ The good side for wearing a mask would be when we challenge ourselves beyond who we are~ To take on the courage and see how far we can go~ But that doesn't mean to dispose of our very own traits.
People change everyday and research even shows that people will tend to be different in terms of behavior, attitude and the way they think every 5 years~ But that of course, are mould by so many factors like being influence by the people they are with, changing the goals of their life and even exposed to different situations. That's what we call "growing".
Even when we change through the phases of life. We need to be different. To be unique. To stand out odd from the people besides you or around you. What makes you different while sharing the commonalities between them.
The hardest question even myself have a hard time answering it would be "What makes you different from others and why are you different that way"
I am sure that we are not born the same. And if we do, the world would be in chaos~
That's why life is beautiful when it is so diversify~
So be different and stay different~ :)

New Watch
Yay! I finally got my hands on a new watch! Got it in Bugis Junction in Singapore~ And along accompanying my friend for a job interview so the whole trip was not that lonely~
Am happy that I bought myself a nice watch~ Have some antique feature and solar powered. It's Casio Edifice EF340SB-1A1V. Never knew the series number till I googled it~ Initial price was at $150 and I got it for $108 because of promotion period~
The pic above is the one I bought~ Well~ My initial plan to buy a cheap watch failed. Maybe its because I would prefer a quality one that can last long~
Have done watching King 2 Hearts! Awesome! Even the last episode is that good and unpredictable~ Should be catching up with Rooftop Prince soon~
Tonight I just feel that my mind is quite blank~ Dunno for what reason but it just feels blank and wants a day off~ Like want to sit in a corner of a place and dun wanna talk~ Ever experience that? Emo? Oh no~~~ :(
Maybe because VIVA presentation is coming. And the day after is already examination. So limited time to prepare~ Then three consecutive days of examination to face after that added with one 4 credit hours subject that require 4 hours of concentration on the particular paper. 4 hours on a paper! Sounded crazy enough~ And worst of all, its my most hated subject. Hopefully I can answer it confidently on that day~
Wish me luck! Till den~

Half Day Trip to Singapore
Yipee! Finally I kept my word (i alwiz did :P) and went to Singapore this morning~
Quite of a random trip actually as I didn't really prepare anything. Just counted the leftover of 50 dollars then drove all the way to City Square and hop into the Causeway Link bus to Singapore.
Started my journey around 7.30 am reaching the custom around 8:00 am. It's surprising to see not that many people at the custom cuz it's usually crowded~ After that I lost track of my time as I left my phone in the car. It's so damn heavy to put into my pocket and walk around! I need to get a traveling bag! And I saw a nice one with the brand of Lafuma in Singapore. The price? *cough cough* But yeah, Lafuma is a branded baggy product so no big deal of the price tag~
Actually I took the wrong bus and arrived at Kranji station. Was supposed to take CW2 to Bugis bus station but ended up at Kranji~ Good thing is, I asked one helpful lady and pointed me the directions to Bugis through the MRT~ Are all Singaporeans so helpful? Or maybe just the aunties in Singapore? Am really glad to have such hospitality and kind people around~
Because I lost track of time and I don't even know where to look for a time~ I think I ended up kinda early at the Bugis streets as most stores are still halfway opening through~ So I decided to eat my breakfast at one of this look-like Malay store which serve look-like Malaysian cuisine... Hahaha~ Ordered steamed chicken rice and the food was really good compare to here~ LOL~ Costs me $4.90... In dollar.... And that's like RM10 for that meal~ *sob sob*
After the meal, more shops are opened and the crowd is getting bigger~My initial plan to buy a cheap watch doesn't work out~ There's definitely cheap watches in Bugis but it just doesn't suit my taste~ I mean it looks nice but I doubt the quality and most probably its made in China~ Costs as low as $5 of a watch for those plastic types and $18.90 for the classy ones~
And ended up drooling over Casio Edifier watch in this G-Factory shop inside Bugis Junction~ It's expensive because its CASIO and a GOOD watch~ HAHA~ After tired of seeing all the items in dollar which I need to multiply all prices by two~
Which made me ended up back in UTM so early with both hands empty~ =.=
Oh~ And I have an interview with Sunway group this coming Friday! So I will be going back KL just for that interview~ So not prepared~ And am so dead on that day after needing to endure hectic presentations on both Tuesday and Wednesday~
So I'm gonna get a good watch to wear for my interview... I'm definitely going back Singapore... Definitely~
Am I insane? Actually crossing the border doesn't seem like something special~ Its just another short trip to shop for something~ Except with more foreigners around and items in dollars~ That's all~ Pretty sure I would miss Singapore after graduation~
Till then~ :)
