Recap my 2nd year 1st sem's degree life in UKM

“Time flies, a semester had just ended in a flash…”

Hello everybody, Ah Wong the noob blogger is here again to update blog post. It has been a long time for me not updating my blog as last few months, I was busying with my hectic 2^nd year 1^st semester Accounting studies. Well, today’s topic is regarding of recap of my previous semester (2^nd Year 1^st Semester of Accounting degree).

This blogpost will be divided into 3 main topics of my 2^nd year 1^st semester life, which are my general life and academic life of that semester as well as what I had done as my pastime activities during that semester. Without further ado, let’s begin with these topics.

My general life in (Semester 3) 2^nd year 1^st semester

To begin with, I could say that my previous semester life is too dull and boring as I didn’t join any activity or event in the campus (UKM). This is owing to I had very heavy academic subjects to be coped with in that semester as compared to my 1^st year's studies, which in turns making me reluctant to spare time to participate any university event. For an instance, I did have 8 subjects to prepared for examinations as well as 8 assignments or group assignments to be accomplish in that semester. This is totally “absurd” of me to survive in that semester as the workload was about 2 times than previous semester (previous semesters I only had about 3-4 subjects’ assignments to be done) and 4 major accounting subjects to cope with some more. Nonetheless, I am glad that I survive through this hectic and dull semester after looking back at how I managed to cope with all these subjects in the semester.

My academic life in (Semester 3) 2^nd year 1^st semester

Moving on to my academic life, I could again say it was hectic life in previous semester. This is because of many of the assignments were related to accounting majors in greater depth than previous one semester. Taking Accounting Information System (AIS) subject’s group assignment as an example, I could remember vividly how tough was the to be done in the last semester. It demanded us to seek for 3 months financial reports and transaction from any sector of the business in order to use an accounting software to analyse the business performances. Indeed, it was a tough time for us to obtain any info from the companies as they did also reluctant to give up so many info. Perhaps, from what we conceived was that most of the company not willing to share out most of the info of transaction as they scared the students or anyone to abuse this company’s secret info to the rival companies. Luckily, my groupmates and I managed to have some financial transaction and statement from my Puchong friend’s family shop to do our group project. I was very thankful of the shop owner as he believed us of not simply abusing the info given from him. In short, I was very fortunate to be able to obtain info for my group assignment in a short time and most importantly I appreciate that I had cooperative teammates in doing group assignments in ease.

This is my AIS group assignment's video presentation which is uploaded on YouTube. It may seemingly a bit crappy, by the way XDD...

My pastime activity in that semester

Basically, my pastime activity is mainly about leisure activity. I usually walking around in the campus since the day I had entered the campus. For example, last semester I did the same routine by waking up in the early morning to go for a jog too. In fact, jogging in the morning enabled us to breathe in fresh air and giving us some morning vibes in order to carry on a day tasks with positivity. That is why I usually go for morning walk as it could stimulate more positive thoughts in our mind and indirectly increasing the ability to absorb more knowledge from the books. However, last semester I managed to find a junior morning walk member who occasionally joined with me to go for morning walk in the campus. I glad that there were still someone who was also like to morning walk as very few or none of the people in the campus did so (most of them just study 24/7 for the whole day, from what I had assumed). Therefore, although my life in the previous semester consider too dull and boring, but there was still a favourite pastime activity done by me to boost my motivation in study.

As a random anonymous saying goes: "Everything in life is temporary. So, if things are going well, enjoy it because it won't last forever. And if things are going bad, don't worry. It can't last forever either." The tough times will soon be gone when you are keep focusing on doing your job without over thinking about it. Everything just goes with the flow… Once again, I managed to survive through this hectic semester. The end.

In the end of this blog post, let me show you all my first ever vlog on YouTube. It is regarding of my morning walk journey from UKM Bangi main campus to Bangi Lama (which is also known as Old Bangi). Enjoy watching it...

The end of my 1st year study life in University.

In a flash, the time flies very fast (read finish this whole blog post, I have something to express in the end of this blog post).

Hello everybody, Ah Wong is back again...

Year 1 Sem 2, for me, was officially ended by 19th June. That kind of feeling was good as we had managed to pass through tons of assignments and then the final exam of 2nd semester...

My coursemates and I

Upon finishing final exam, my coursemates and I went for "celebration", which was deemed as a tradition for each and every of university students once they had done their final exam. One of the reason I had decided to join them is to act as a "reward" for me after finishing my semester 2 study in first year study. The activities we had done were having lunch at Korean BBQ restaurant, singing in Karaoke room as well as window shopping. However, I've feel that the leisure time to spend with them was passing so fast...

We had our Korean BBQ lunch at somewhere in Ampang, Selangor. This idea was suggested by one of our coursemates who is living nearby there. For me, I am not a fan of Korean cuisine, I could not give so many comment on the foods lah... Basically, it is all about tons of meats and vegetables lah... The meat itself was needed to cook manually by the customers themselves. This is what the Korean cuisine about - meats and vegetables.

After that, we departed to Mytown Shopping Centre at Cochrane, Kuala Lumpur to enjoy our time at Karaoke room. That was a perfect timing for me to show-off my high pitched voice. I had selected a few of songs which require very high pitched voice such as Bee Gees songs of "Staying Alive" and "How Deep Is Your Love". Usually, I could make my voice to be extremely high pitched on par with Barry Gibb, the leading singer of Bee Gees. However, after a long time of practice in my University's dormitory, I've managed to intimate his high pitched voice. ~Ha ha ha ha, staying alive, staying alive, ha ha ha ha, staying aliveeeee ahhhhhhhh~. 

However, I did also got sing the other kind of songs which selected by my other coursemates at that time... Singing in the halfway, some people decided to celebrate birthday for those whom their birthdays were on either June, July or August. My birthday is on 17 July, so me also "kena celebrated" by them. Their intend to bring the birthday celebration earlier to that timing because upon finishing Year 1 Semester 2, we will have a rather long 2 months semester break.

After finish karaoke-ing, then we moved to Sunway Velocity shopping mall to go for window shopping. Nevertheless, I felt that window shopping was kind of boring for me... So, I just found a place and sitting down there waiting them to finish window shopping. Then, we had our brief dinner there and the "celebration" was called the end.

Indeed, the time is passing too fast, we need to cherish every moment of enjoy and leisure in life, once it is over then we couldn't go back in time to find the joy. Hanging out with a gang of peers in University is fun and limited, once you skipped it, you may be regretted many years later.

The end of Year 1 Chapter, this chapter has so many stories in it. Hopefully the next chapter in the university life will be always in positive side.

25th Pesta Ang Pow 2019...

Hello everybody, it's me, Ah Wong again here to update my blog. Today I'm going to share a brief experience of mine in 25th of Pesta Ang Pow 2019 (Pesta Ang Pow is one of the largest Chinese event in UKM). The night dinner was on 9th of March at Dectar, UKM. It has been a month ago story already...

This year's pesta ang pow night dinner theme was based on "乡" (Hometown). It had expressed the importance of preserving each and every of our own roots of Chinese dialect culture culture. There were various booths which were describing and depicting each of the Chinese dialect culture in a bid of deepening the visitors' understanding of their own Chinese dialect culture.

Then, its dishes were from 5 major Chinese culture groups as well. There were consist of 8 dishes in this night dinner at Dectar (Dewan Chancellor Tun Abdul Razak), UKM mainly from Min Nan Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese, Hakka and Foochow Chinese. Unfortunately, I was working as a normal working committee (AJK, Ahli Jawatankuasa) there, so I couldn't taste the delicacies lah...

Nevertheless, I am cherished that I was just being a normal working committee of that event. As compared to the Executive committees, working committees' workloads and responsibilities are lesser than the former ones. Working committee just have to assist the Excos to do their job only...

Oh yeah, I almost forgotten to mention that our Malaysian current Transportation Minister YB Anthony Loke who is also an Alumnus of UKM had also presented there. He had managed to spare out his time to mingle with us, UKM Students in Dectar and gave a speech there which drew cheers and applauds from the crowds there...

Last but not least, it also had made a Chinese dialect singing competition a month before the event too. This singing competition was made to remind us that the usage of Chinese Dialects were fading day by day, therefore it was the time to uphold that spirit of gradually using Chinese Dialect in our daily life ocassionally. I had participated in that competition too, however, I didn't manage to get the first till the third place lah... In short, this year's Pesta Ang Pow night dinner was all about the hometown and Chinese Dialects cultures.

Here are a few of the photos that I had taken in Dewan Cancelor Tun Abdul Razak on 9th of March 2019.

EDB 2 day 1 night trip to Bukit Fraser and Bukit Tinggi. (23/2/19 - 24/2/19)

Hello everybody! It's me, Ah Wong here again to update my blog account. It's been a long time to no update my university life here, therefore here I'm to update my university life once again in the next semester of Year 1 Sem 2. 

Well, each of the bureaus in the residential college of Aminuddin Baki will definitely spare some precious time to let their members to mingle and bond with each other. Therefore, in today's blog post, I'm going to share my experience in this trip with the members of Entrepreneurship Development Bureau (EDB).

On 23rd of February, we had departed to our first destination of our trip - Bukit Fraser in the morning. Along the way there were many beautiful and breath taking sceneries to be looked at especially along the road going up to Fraser Hill (Bukit Fraser). After going through some windy and wandering road, we were glad that we had finally arrived to Bukit Fraser. As we all know about that, Bukit Fraser used to be a resting and leisure place for the Britain armies during the colonial era. So, there were many remnants of the British heritage on top of the mountains (pictures are shown below this paragraph).

The bureau members

In fact, there weren't much place to go there except the lush green and breath taking sceneries to be gazed at. I had spend much of my time up there to relax my mind and get ridding of academic burdens temporarily. Apart from sparing some time to relax, I did also accompany with the other members to have a walk around the garden there to seek for beautiful scenery to have a photograph.

Here are a few of photos of mine there...

After done touring around there, we then were heading towards Raub, Pahang to stay for a night. Raub is the main town in the Raub District of Pahang. The trip from Bukit Fraser to Raub took almost 2 hours even though Raub is the nearest town to Bukit Fraser. Upon arriving to Raub, we immediately checking into Hotel there first, namely Oyo Agro Raub hotel prior to having dinner there. 

Dinner in Raub, Pahang

On 24th of February, we were in rush of departing from Raub to Bukit Tinggi in the early morning. It took about an hour and a half to reach to the French ville (Perkampungan Perancis) in Bukit Tinggi Berjaya Sompo. The weather at Bukit Tinggi and Bukit Fraser (which I forgot to mention just now)was fairly cooler than on the low land. Still, there are just barely got places to travel there. All places you can visit there are either a tourist spot or a natural site.

Breakfast before departing to Bukit Tinggi, Pahang.

After finish visiting the French Ville, then we reached to our last destination in this trip - Japanese Ville. In fact, Japanese Ville is near to French Ville, but the road from French Ville to Japanese Ville is challenging as the road is wandering and extremely steep. After for about 20 minutes, we had arrived to our destination. The scenery was once again so evergreen and breathtaking up there. Here are a few photos that I had taken up there...

Then, we began to going back to our beloved university, UKM to continue our study. Indeed, this trip is rather enjoying and it enabled me to recharge my "battery" so that I can face more challenges along my study.

Alright, that's all of my sharing today. I hope you all enjoy reading my blog post. Please do subscribe to my blog account ah... See you guys in the next time, bye...

The End of Sem 1, Year 1 (16/1/19)

Hello everybody! It's been a long time for not updating my blog website. Today I'm going to share a brief blog post story regarding of the celebration of the end of year 1's first semester.

Indeed, the time flies... In a flash, we had completed our first semester of university life... It was a sense of relief after finishing final examination in university. Hence, my course mates and I had decided to hangout and having Korean BBQ as dinner meal with each other as a mark of celebration of finishing the finals.

The journey began when we commuted MRT feeder bus from UKM to Stadium Kajang in order to take MRT to our destination, Mytown Shopping Centre at Cheras KL... The picture below was ours wefie, I was asked by someone to do capture a group photo of ours as a memory there.

Then, upon arriving to Mytown, we splited into 2 groups of boys and girls to go for shopping. For me, I didn't follow both groups to go for shopping, I'm just there siting and playing with my smart phone. In the end, I was asked to join the boys to go for shopping, then I just join them since I got nothing to do already there. Let me tell you a thing that I'm actually not that much in favour of shopping, I go to shopping mall just to enjoy breeze of air conditioned there. Mytown is quite big and having so many retail shops, it was so dazzling as there were so many shops offering goods to be sold...

Later, we were heading to Korean BBQ restaurant at C180 Cheras Selatan from Cochrane MRT station. Here's the picture of what we enjoyed on that day 16th of January 2019.

We had order various types of meats. Oh yah, I recalled there were roughly more than 6 types of meats we ordered there... After having dinner halfway, I realized that Korean BBQ cuisine do not offer us rice to consume,  but that was okay, I am able to adapt to any of the other Asian cuisines. Oh yah, that restaurant had also offered the patrons ice creams for free in order to alleviate the cost of dining in there. Alright, I'll give my comment on the Korean BBQ ah, for me it's just like a fancier version of Malaysian's Satay culture lah... The price of that meal was also exorbitantly expensive than the normal price range of my dinner meal outside of my home. It cost RM25 per person average of 13 persons.

After that, we hangout at The Alley's bubble tea retail shop. This is the last photo of ours in this outing...

It was indeed causing my wallet to lost lots of money by hanging out with a gang of friends. However, once in a while, it was totally worth it as I got to build a stronger friendship with them whilst enjoying myself after finishing my final examination. 

Alright, that's all for today's blog post. I hope you are enjoy reading my blog post. Please do subscribe to my blog account and google+ account. You may as well read my first blog account's blog posts by clickling the link right here. See you guys in the next time, bye.

Leisure and Greeneries: Morning walk in UKM

Hello everybody, Ah Wong is back again... It has been a long time for me to not morning walk in the UKM main campus already. The National University of Malaysia (UKM) is known as an university in the forest. Therefore, I had made use of my leisure time to wander around in the UKM, especially the forest part.

There are two times I morning walk in the woods of UKM in this week. Last few days, I started this "journey" from my residential college, Kolej Aminuddin Baki and went to PERMATAPintar (Foundation School of UKM) via the shortcut of "Rumah Tumbuh-tumbuhan". Here are a few picture there...

Meanwhile, I started my my today's morning walk route from Kolej Keris Mas. I intend to start my "journey" from there because I wanna try different road to reach there. However, the two pathway seemed to be isolated and deserted as the former one was an agricultural research site, while the latter one was a forest road. At first, I feel rather scare to go alone to there, however I eventually able to brave up myself to go through these both pathways. Seriously, internal motivation will let you to be more focused on attaining your targets in academics, in daily life as well as in working life. I have learned something new through morning walk.

This part is today's story already

Upon reaching to PERMATAPintar, I rested there for a while and continued my journey to the further destination. Today's morning walk session is the longest distance of me walking ever in UKM. I walked until an Institution of UKM which is known as Institute of Systems Biology (INBiosis). This biology institution is the furthest building from the UKM centre. Here are a few of photos there.

Encountered a group of students in the forest of UKM

Then, I intended to go on my journey to Bangi Old Town via forest route. Unfortunately, the road is blocked at INBiosis as it is part of UKM forestry department area for forestry educational and camping purpose. Those who aren't equipped with those two reasons will likely not allow to get in. Meanwhile, I perceived the gate there wasn't fully locked, it is partially locked. By right, I can get in there and continue my journey, but I didn't do so. This is because that part of road is more isolated then the previous road that reach to INBiosis as well as no one was in there. Here are a few photos there...

Anyways, these two morning walk journey are fun and stress relieving as you can get to relax your mind and immersing yourself in the mother nature. No doubt I was got selected into the right public university...

Alright, that's it for today blog post. I hope you guys enjoy reading it. Please do subscribe to my blogger and google account. See you guys in the next time, bye...
