FINAL YEAR! =')

Heyyy blog! I miss blogging. A space for me to express my feelings deep within.
Final year had been hectic. Now that I'm reaching the end, I feel kinda confused. Happy? Sad? Excited? Anxious? All emotions jumbled into a mass of confusion. No one knows what the future holds. I have many plans in mind but we'll never know how the future would turn out to be.

I was involved in Leo Cabinet this fiscal year. To be honest, I wasn't happy at all because I do not favour administrative work and politics. The sole reason why I joined Leo Club was because I love serving the community. Hence, I felt that I wasn't practicing my passion. I've decided that I'll continue serving the community and those in-need as a voluntary member in any organization or events (rather than sticking to one sole organization). In that way, I can serve the needy anyhow I want and do not have to think about unnecessary stuff.

Final year felt rather lonely for me. Maybe it's because I've lost touch with my bf who is currently in Alor Setar most of the time and rarely contacts me because he's always busy. Maybe it's good in the sense that I've become more independent. =D

I've spent so much this year; way over my budget for donations and gifts to my batch mates. However, I found happiness in giving rather than receiving because I love to see them happy. It creates a double-dose of happiness because when they feel happy, I feel happy too. =D I'm kinda sad we're all going our separate ways very soon. If only I could express how much I treasure these people. They really made my days more colourful. I hope we'll all keep in touch. =')

Final examination is looming around the corner; 16 days left to be exact and I haven't finished with revision of the very first subject. =P I will be switching on my study mode very soon; starting from the next morning (8:00AM)! I must! Rachel, you must focus! I'll be blogging again probably after my final exam. So much to say but I cannot afford wasting anymore time. D= Weeeeee~ See you soon! <3

Hello Hello!

HEY!! It has been ages since my last blog. I am becoming super lazy haha. Currently on my break and I will be entering Year 5 (Final year) soon. Classes will be starting on 5th September 2016! I can't believe I just turned 23 around 6 days back. I'm getting older. Oh noooo~ I don't want my youth to end. :'( Life has to go on. I'm still a little child in the inside. Hehe. :P

Anyway, I'll be blogging briefly on what I did during my Year 4. My experiences in Leo Club and Animal Protection Crew. :D Just want to record my memories here so that I can read next time when I'm old :P

I have to say that I had never regretted being the president of Leo Club for one whole fiscal year. I gained so much experience and met so many wonderful friends that have the same compassion towards the needy. It's a little sad when it had come to an end so quickly. This September we will be installing a new president, whom will lead our club to greater success! =)

During my fiscal year, we had successfully obtained around 20 awards. We were so close to getting the Top Club Award (competing against all Leo Clubs from the entire district). However, we ended up second but I'm still so thankful and grateful for everything. =)

Without our outstanding committee, our club wouldn't be able to achieve so much. I hope to help the new board of directors to organize more charity projects this coming fiscal year! Not solely for the awards, but for the benefit of our community in-need. Personally, I think this would be a life-long commitment for me. I found my passion to serve those in-need and I would never stop to contribute what I can give as long as I live.

We are so privileged to live such luxurious lives and often, we forget that not everyone was born in the right circumstances. They didn't ask to be born disabled or born in a poor family. They didn't have a choice to choose how to live. Many of them couldn't achieve their ambitions. I think it's our duty to make them feel loved and treasured like anyone else. We are all humans seeking for love and compassion; the ultimate values that bring joy to someone's life.




Besides that, we should never forget the other living creatures in this planet that can't speak and express their need for love. We've formed a new club called the Animal Protection Crew to focus on helping all the stray dogs and cats in our campus. There are so many stray animals here and they were always mistreated by the staff workers and even the students. Our effort were not recognized by the AIMST management team at all and all they tell us to do is get rid of all these animals or euthanize them because they don't belong here.

Have we ever think the other way round? These are animals living in their natural habitat and we are the STRAYS invading their habitat and claiming it ours. It's sad to see that there are people not getting our point. However, I have managed to meet many animal lovers through this club. Up to this date, we had successfully spayed/neutered countless numbers cats & dogs.


We had also spent a huge amount of our funds on medications for sick animals; nursing them (illegally :P) in our dormitories until they're healthy again. There were a few of them that didn't make it and we have to resort to euthanasia; and some of them just couldn't make it and died despite our effort in trying to save them.

Tears flowed as we buried them but it taught us many things. We've learnt so much through these experiences and I will never forget them throughout my life. Life is precious so we should treasure it always. =)




Woah! I think this post is going to be super long. Hehe. Oh well. I'm free today anyways. :P Just a week ago, I joined (for the first time) the APDSA Congress in Singapore! It was really fun. The reason why I wanted to go at the first place was because I am planning to work there one day. Wanted to see how is it like over there. Well, after the trip, I felt the need to work there even more. Have been doing some research on how to get there etc. and I think it's possible if I have the will. (If there is a will, there will be a way! :D) Might be going Singapore again on October to find out more. =) We'll see about that. One thing I regretted for not doing is getting more souvenirs! I didn't have enough for everyone and it is really depressing. :'( Maybe next year I'll be going to the congress again. It'll be in Hong Kong. =) Sounds fun but need to start saving up for that.

Alright. This post is really getting too lengthy and hence, I'll just stop here. Sincere apologies for any grammatical errors. Haha. No one's going to read this blog anyways. xD It's for my future self! :P Goodbyeeee! I hope to write more soon! <3

Group 8, APDSA Congress in Singapore

Aloha~ ;D

Bello! I'm back to blogging finally! :D I'm supposed to study but I can't stop myself from procrastinating. xD weeeee~ told myself that I will "definitely" study after this. Having a 2-week semester break right now.. plan on going back to AIMST on the 2nd week to settle some issues but I really wanna stay at home T-T guess I have no choice~ Will miss home a lot ='[ and I will miss the view outside my window..

The sunrise

The blood moon

The rain clouds

I wonder what I've really been doing for the past few days.. I'd rather roll around my house than studying. Hehe =P I will always find stuff to do other than studying. Like helping my mum with the house chores. Sometimes I feel like being a housewife is less stressful and more fun.. D= I wasn't so lazy before I entered Year 3. I think Year 3 is really a honeymoon year for me as it is not as hectic as Year 1 & 2. =d

I'm really excited for my family vacation after my finals! Planning on going to Australia~ Can't wait. Haven't really had a family vacation since primary school. =') Will take loads of photos as memory of my very first official family vacation that I will remember for the rest of my life. xD I've been to Singapore when I was really little and hence, all of those memories had been erased from my brain. I wonder why we cannot seem to really remember things from the past when we were little. Only bits of memories are stored in the brain. Maybe during that age period, our brains are still developing and they'll only store repetitive information. =/ I have no idea..

I'm 22 years old now. Can't believe I've become so old.. Noooooooooo~ I don't wanna be old. ='[ Good thing no one had really called me an aunty yet. Maybe coz I look like a kid as well.. =P Hehehe. Love to play with kids but sometimes they love to climb over my head when I play with them too much. Some of them are really disrespectful.

I've been a teacher in a kindergarten/nursery before.. Children of the age of 4 years and below are really super duper cuuuuuuuuuteeeee and innocent.. BUT once they've reached the age of 5, I can die of a heart attack. The levels of their naughtiness and hyper-activeness seem to have reached the peak and they're so hard to control. Almost went crazy trying to teach them. Imagine me, trying to teach them math & they're like talking, screaming and throwing their colour pencils everywhere in the classroom. And there were like endless complaints of "Teacher Rachel, he pulled my hair", "Teacher Rachel, she poked my eyes", "Teacher Rachel, he stole my ruler" and bla bla bla... I had to be strict and punish them (although I have a soft spot for children). I dislike scolding and punishing kids but it's something we have to do in order to control their crazy hormones. =.=

Alright.. Gotta start studying. Must not procrastinate anymore you lazy bum. Goodbye blog. ='[ *sobs* Au revoir~ =)

Beautiful St. Anne's Old Church

True meaning of Life =)

Good morning earthlings. =) Waking up on Sunday mornings has always been the hardest thing to accomplish for me.. Had to literally crawl out of my bed one limb at a time. I would usually take around 30 minutes to drag all my body parts away from my bed. :D And after that I would go back to sleep eventually.. Weee~ the joy of Sunday mornings xD

Anyways, I've finally moved to my new home on the 25th of September. Loving my new home but unfortunately I've only lived in my new home during the Deepavali week. After that, I was busy with so many LEO activities that I couldn't go back to Penang. So sad.. ='[

I miss my home T_T

Hopefully I'll be able to finally go back home during the last week of November. Starting to get homesick because I have not gotten the chance to really enjoy my new home =') It's alright. I'm happy at the same time because there are so many activities this month. I sincerely love to join LEO activities because their activities have made me really happy and opened my eyes to the meaning of life. Charity or community events are really worth joining because we wouldn't be only enjoying ourselves but it's for the sake of other people as well. Making others happy, especially those in-need, offers me a form of happiness that cannot be described.

Medical camp - Increasing awareness on oral hygiene among villagers

I'm really happy that I've decided to join LEO club. People ask me why would I want to get involved in the committee and make myself busy with all the work involved. Indeed, they were right about the amount of tasks I was burdened with (especially during Year 2) while balancing it with my studies. However, to me, it's worth it. Different people have different opinions about how they want to spend their lives on. =) Just live your life based on how you define your life is supposed to be.

LEO Running Man Camp

Joining various events also gave me the opportunity to meet new friends and socialize with different people from different courses. There are so many nice & friendly people around. It's a great opportunity to be able to get along with them.

LEO Christmas Party

There were many occasions where I would just think about the purpose of my life. I know that I've been born on this planet for a reason (as many Christians believe). God sent us here to accomplish something. There will always be people in-need of help and guidance and I would definitely try my best to offer my help. I may not be capable of doing everything requested but it's always worth trying. =)

I'm really grateful I've been able to live up to my twenties. Many children out there could not live until this age. Always, always treasure our lives and everyone around you every day. We should be thankful we've lived through so many years without any debilitating illness. Even though I'm short but I'm happy that I have limbs! Even though I'm chubby but I am happy that I'm not starving! Even though I feel there are so many imperfections but I'm happy that I'm me, I'm alive and I'm contributing my life to those in-need. That's the true meaning of my life. We should live our own lives to its fullest. Cheers! ^.^

YEAR 3!! =P

Weee! I'm glad I've made it to Year 3. Had around 2 months of holidays but I was lazing around to the max until I didn't felt like blogging. =d Anyways, Year 3 is definitely more free than Year 2. I feel some freedom but I'm quite nervous coz I'm gonna treat a real human soon! All these while I've only been "treating" stationary dummies or sims. xD Hopefully everything goes well!

During the holidays, I had to pack all my stuff into boxes becoz I'm gonna shift to my new home pretty soon. The renovation is completing soon. They've painted the walls already. 

I've selected sky blue for the walls of my room.
This colour soothes my mind.
Initially I wanted it to be light cyan.
But I have no idea why i felt like choosing this
colour when we were deciding on the colours
for the walls and furniture.

My brother wanted his walls to be slightly greenish or turquoise. However, the workers painted the wrong colour and it became all yellow but my brother didn't mind the colour so we're gonna stick with it. =)





The view from my new house is spectacular. There are many facilities too. Love the gym & swimming pool. Definitely would wanna work out after moving in. =>

Besides all that, I've finally gotten my new spectacles! I find it odd to finally change into the black frame glasses that almost everyone's using. However, since my face seems to look odd with any type of spectacles I wear so why not try this one? XD Odd but I gotta live with it. =p Gotta learn liking everything I have. =/

Every time when I feel insecure on how I dress or how I look, I will always comfort myself by saying that this is me and if there's anyone out there judging me then it's their right to do so but I will never be able to change my appearance. ^_^

I've been insulted before for being short, stumpy and even ugly. Definitely sad at times but I've slowly accepted that I can't change the way I look so I'll just have to live with it and be thankful I have a wonderful and fortunate life.

The insults had caused me to have a low self-esteem and I became very shy. However, after studying in university, I tried my best to change my personality. Tried to be happy & optimistic and when I've opened up myself more and more.. I realized I've become much happier than before. I'm glad I could open up my personality that was hidden deep beneath to everyone around me.. =)

Please bare with my photos, Haha. =d

When I was studying in Year 2 and someone insisted on taking my photo =.=

Few days back I faced an issue and I realized there were a few people that were really there for me.. I had to thank them from the bottom of my heart. My parents comforted me. My roommate discussed and found a solution for me. And I had a friend whom was trying her best to find various solutions to my problem. She was even willing to offer her time to accompany me to find the people-in-charge to solve my problem. She said she's willing to become my partner during our free time to solve the problem. I was really touched. No words could describe on how thankful I was. Her name is Praveena. A really kind-hearted girl. I've never met anyone in my life that is so kind. =') She helped me on many occasions when I had issues that I couldn't solve. I'm happy that she's my friend and I hope she knows that. <3

I think I'm gonna have to end this here. I've been talking waayy toooo much. Goodbye blog & hope to blog again sometime soon. ^_^ Weeeee~ So long folks =D

HELLO THERE~~ :DDD

I've finally decided to start a blog. Just for fun = D weee~ haha. It's still not too late to start becoming a blogger!! >=P Firstly, let me introduce myself briefly. = ) I'm 20 years old (reaching 21 on August 12th) & I live on a small little island called Penang. ^-^

I'm currently pursuing my degree in Year 2! And finals are just around the corner.. Probably I will only be blogging more after my finals (hopefully). =/ hmm. We'll see about that.

I have a wonderful family that I cherish dearly. Very thankful for all the support they have given to me. <3 They're just the best people I will ever know in my entire life. <3 <3

I don't really have a group of friends that I stick with in university. Only in Penang I have the most awesome and crazy group of friends that would always meet when I have a chance! = DD

The most DECENT selfie we could ever capture of ourselves. =P (Missing in this photo: Sharyn the Maharani)

Every single time when it comes to studying, my brain will just start coming up with all the wacky ideas of things to do rather than studying. And I cannot control it.. I have to SATISFY my brain.. (Starting a blog was 1 of them). I'm always wasting loads of time doing useless things. Like just recently, I've caught a huge mosquito that was about 1cm in length! O_O I've even measured it with ruler.. Here's the alibi.. xD

It's really super hugeeeeeeeeeeee! I'm so fascinated by it. Stared at this mosquito the entire night just to study its anatomical structures! Haha. xD I've searched the internet and it seems like this species is called the Gallinipper (if I'm not wrong). The bite is super painful like a sword stabbing into your skin (according to the website). Good thing I caught it before it bit me. c=

Oh! Did I mention I'm an animal lover? I love all kinds of animals even though they're dangerous or filthy or whatsoever you may think. When I came to university, I realized there are so many cats (especially in the cafeteria) & it's sad to hear that many of my friends despise them. =[ It hurts me.. I would always feel happy to share my food with them when I see them.. and give them a pat just to let them know they're loved. ='>

An adorable pregnant cat!! *.*

I wanted to be a veterinarian real bad last time.. It was my passion. However, there are not many recognized universities in Malaysia that has a course for vets. There are some in our neighbouring country, Indonesia but I wanted to study within Malaysia so I decided to pursue Dentistry in AIMST University instead. I'm loving this course I've chosen as well! Love the fact that it combines knowledge, skills & art. = )

Alright. I guess that's about it. Will update this blog after my finals when I'm free! c= FINALS are looming around the corner & it's time to be serious like professors.. 0.0" Good bye blog~~~ ='[ BRAIN!! Are you finally satisfied now?? Start focusing!! >=D Cheers!

Nerdy me.. Gotta stay that way until after finals!
