Or Anything Local For That Matter.
These days I kept hearing ppl insulting out local education system. Saying that there is no standard no value no recognition...bla bla...even one of my friends seemed to think that way.
She's all like "Studying in Malaysia is so lame I cant wait to go to the US.Serena, perhaps you should just quit USM and come to the States with me".
All I said was "Haha....I cant afford it.USM is not so bad you know".
She said "Ya lah but US is way much better...here the government help students to score its like you don't know who's good and who's not."
I shurgged her off.
But hey you wanna know what i think? If the education in Malaysia is so lame and there is no standard in it, let me ask you? Did u get outstanding results for your SPM? Oh Don't give me BS where you got straight A's in PMR, I dont care bout PMR. Cause why? I knew she gotten only 4A's out of 10 in her SPM...barely half. Does she have the right to say anything bout the lame education here?I don't think so...if in a lame education u get such poor results what would it be like if u go to the ALL-SO-GREAT UNITED STATES? Before u judge smth pls judge yoursef first. Yea you are well off, ur family can pay for u to study in US. But to me you will always be a spoilt brat. I know the person I mentioned here reads my blog occasionally if u remember saying those words to me... yea I'm refering to you. So what?
Let me tell you smth USM may not be the best UNI in the world but at least I work my ass off for a place in it, I don't pay a large sum of money to get in and I'm trying my best.Compare to you....well...

Let Me Tell You A Story
Let me tell you a story. It goes like this...
There was a young university student. A young girl barely 20 years old. Like any other students, she worked hard to earn a place in University, a place given to those who excel academically with their own hard work and not to those whose parents simply have the money to buy them in.
She's not a nerd who studies 24/7. She likes to hang out with her friends and sometimes with her friends 'help one another' during quizzes or during short tests. At times she's content with her life while others she just wished she was never born.
Today is one of the 'others'. Chinese New Year is a week ahead and she's suppose to be having fun. But God forbid. her lecturers have to shower upon the students 4 tests, 2 assignment and a project. All which has to be submitted or conducted on the week right after CNY.
The girl's name is Serena Saw Wei Ping.

Things I've Learnt So Far
1) Guys will most probably stop paying you as much attention when they have gfs and you're only one of their friends.
2)Don 't compare or let anyone compare your bf to somebody else's. When they do just tell them you cant date that many ppl at the same time.
3) No matter how much time your lecturer gives you time for an assignment it will still be done at the very last second possible.
4)Ppl who live very far away fr campus wish with all their hearts to go back but ppl who live just a few miles away will not go back no matter how hard you try to persuade them.
5)70% of ppl who come to you and say they don;t know how to do smth actually havent even look at it yet let alone trying to solve it.
6)The more time spent away fr your family make you realise how little you do things for them when you're with them.

Just A Thought
Can anyone tell me why are guys slow on the uptake at times? Why can they be thoughtless about other ppl? And then how can they expect you to feel better aft they apologise when you get upset and he realised he's in the wrong?I mean....the damage is done already......and another thing........
WHY cant guys know or understand why a girl gets upset or angry??????? Especially when its right in front of their eyes? They have the nerve to ask, "whats wrong? why are you mad?" They are like so clueless when it comes to communication skills. Why do girls decide smth after giving some thinking bout what her partner will feel but guys do the exact opposite? Guys decide smt, gets his partner upset and then apologise aft she explains.
WHY WHY WHY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my results already a cgpa of 3.71.....I guess its alright...tho cant help feeling a teensiest bit of disappointment....aww....alright maybe not teensiest but a bit more than that. But well, nothing I can do bout it...hope my next sem will be much better...yeah! THATS THE SPIRIT!

ITS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My final exam is finally over....7 weeks of holiday to do whatever I want...so far what i did was teach my sister Add Maths, went swimming and at the same time taught her friend how to swim...the funny thing is she knows how to SCUBA dive but she cant swim...pretty hilarious the first time she told me.
These days I get pretty cranky when someone interrupts my plans you know. I know some things cant be avoided and they just happen out of the blue and you cant exactly blame someone when the unexpected turns up....I mean logically thinking if they cant help it you're not suppose to get mad at them right? But i cant help getting pissed off.
Someone ask me out for coffee and tell me what's wrong with me.

Scuba Diving (Part 2)
Well, after learning the entry point now its time to talk about (or rather write about) what we do underwater...
Basically, we learn how to dive and control our buoyancy. But we are also taught wat to do in case some unfortunate events take place in the water. For example:
When someone accidentally kick your mask away from your face. First thing is to not panic....your buddy will most probably help you look for your mask and return it to you. Therefore, we were made to take out our masks underwater and hold it in our hand...but let me tell you, once you take off the mask you will start to panic..even tho its very shallow in the pool once the cold water hit your face,a sense of dread will follow. Therefore, we learned how to keep calm and breathe normall inhaling and exhaling through your mouth...afterall you still have your regulator. ut without the mask your nose is exposed to the stream of bubbles coming out from you through exhalation. For the first few times some of us managed to breathe without our mask while others choke when the bubbles accidentally enter the nose. Our instructor made us hold our mask in our hands for roughly 30sec. Then we wore back our masks which of course were filled with water. but before that we already learned how to clear our masks underwater.
Next is what happens when someone kicks the regulator our from your mouth and away from you? Well, this trick to recover the regulator is rather simple....there are two ways to do it but the more common one is to tilt our body to the right,swing out right hand to the back and then to the front again. The regulator will be retrieved.
What happens if you run out of air when you are 12m or more underwater? This is where your buddy comes in handy. Signal your buddy and give him the out-of-air signal which is like a gesture made with your hand slicing your throat. Your buddy will give his consent with an OK hand signal. You will move to his right where an alternate air source or sometimes known as the octopus. Take it and breathe from it. this means you will be sharing air with your buddy. Then by linking your hands, reach for the surface and ascend slowly. There are others methods to use if you run out of air but all depends on the condition whether it is an emergency or not.
So roughly these are what happens of accidents like that happen underwater. Other than that what we also learnt are the hand signals and how to dive correctly so that you can minimise energy usage and not harm wild aquatic life. Kinda cool lar learning scuba diving...hehe especially when you go with friends.
