In Kindergarten your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.
In first year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.
In second year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.
In third year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you because you left yours on the bus.
In fourth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch partners in the science lab so you wouldn't have to be stuck with Nasty Nick or Smelly Susan.
In fifth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
In sixth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who went up to your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that is they said "no" you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
In seventh year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you copy the Moral Studies homework the night before that you had to hand it in.
In eighth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.
In ninth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.
In tenth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.
In eleventh year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with your beau, and found you a date to the prom.
In twelfth year of school, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go...
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as she congratulated you.
Now your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you’re scared, helps you fight off those who try to bring you down, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understand when you need to hold onto it for just a bit longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, and most of all, lets you know that you will always be loved.
taken from the star paper...
Lets just stop doing whatever we are doing now,
pick up your phone in your drawer/pockets/cupboard or anywhere it is...
and just send a message or two to some our old friends
or maybe call them just to catch up with them
and relish those memories we had with them...
Or you can buy a dozen of cupcakes or cute phone straps
and give it to your friends just to let them know that they are
appreciated...
and that you do
care...

" Rejection or Failure is always better than Regret. At least you would have the satisfaction knowing that you tried rather than always wondering what could have happened or complaining that you did not try. So just give it a shot and don't bother about the outcome."
That is all for now...

Educational Quotes For All
Tonight I have make history in my own history by posting my first post in this very beloved intelligentsia blog. But first, let me introduce myself. I am the Head Publicist of Intelligentsia Club for the 2009/10 session. The name is Safwan and I am a rookie in writing blogs. So this is how my first post is going to be. I would want to share with you guys some educational quotes that I think we could take as inspirations to us as students. Here it goes....
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. - Aristotle
Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. - Ambrose Bierce
Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion. - Allan Bloom
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. - Alec Bourne
Life at university, with its intellectual and inconclusive discussions at a postgraduate level is on the whole a bad training for the real world. Only men of very strong character surmount this handicap. - Paul Chambers
Getting things done is not always what is most important. There is value in allowing others to learn, even if the task is not accomplished as quickly, efficiently or effectively. - R.D. Clyde
Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends. - Benjamin Disraeli
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. - Edward Everett
Nine tenths of education is encouragement. - Anatole France
Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it. - Sir William Haley
There you have it. Ten educational quotes for us to think about...
Until my 2nd post...
So long....

International Movie Screening is going on this weekday (from 9th Feb to 13th Feb) and today, we are viewing LEMON TREE. But here I am in front of my laptop, writing this post to be posted in our blog ( plus I am having Raksi today)…
Sigh…
Yet, this is an honour for me to be given a chance to post my written words here, on this wall…
Besides the International Movie Screening which is on until 13th of February, we also have many other programmes going on throughout this semester like Grammar Workshop, Spell-It-Right, English Camp, Minutes to Fame, So You Think You Can Talk and etc… Yet, there is one particular programme that involves the international students from
The objectives of this particular programme is to help our friends from
We, Intelligentsians are honoured to help our new friends on behalf of our university and will definitely do our best to make this programme a success!
Yes!
By saying that we are doing all the best we can is to say that we are aware, discipline with self-control, and taking responsibility for our actions beyond our abilities.
Laugh out Loud,
never settle for anything less than the best…
Hopefully, we will be able to fly high, give out our 110%, achieve the goal of this programme and if we get lucky, land on
*wink*
Go Abang Long!! We support you!!
*wink*
Does this post just end like this?
Err…
Well…
Intelligentsia has the Chicken Dance as their official dance...
Errr… I am not that sure about this (the chicken dance)…
So now…
The time has come…
For us to have a theme song?!?
I don’t think so…
But lets just sing along guys!!
I love you
You love me
We are happy family
With a great, big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won’t you say
You love me too...
After all, we all are family that sticks together through ups and downs…
WE ARE THE STICKY FAMILY (with the water shortage problem now in UMP, I am sure than we can be ‘sticky’ family)!!!
Till then…
P.S: WE LOVE BARNEY!! Aiks… Hehehe… I don’t think all Intell members love Barney but I know I do… YEAH!!
Hugs from a Barney’s fan,
Ling...

Why god give us FRIENDS
GOD knew that everyone needs Companionship and cheer,
He knew that people need someone
Whose thoughts are always near.
He knew they need someone kind
To lend a helping hand.
Someone to gladly take the time
To care and understand.
GOD knew that we all need someone
To share each happy day,
To be a source of courage
When troubles come our way.
Someone to be true to us,
Whether near or far apart.
Someone whose love we'll always
Hold and treasure in our hearts.
That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends!

Panching was a blast!
On 4th February 2009,all of us went to Panching.Im not sure why it is called Panching because I didnt see the word Pancing there(Miss Liana said that place used to be a place for fishing).I guess so..hehe.
Firstly we were divided into groups.Then in that small group,we were asked to talk about some topics.In my group,we talked about traditional food and traditional clothes.It was an interesting discussion.My friend,Hai Ling is quite a talkative one.She started the discussion by talking about dumpling.According to Hai Ling a.k.a Zuleha,dumpling is made from noodles and vegetables.That is her favourite food and she said she will cook some for us one day.Cant wait!Then we talked about roti canai,nasi lemak,teh tarik and also some other chinese food such as Beijing Barbecue...Hai Ling is becoming a true Malaysian because she likes roti canai too(:
Our next discussion was about traditional clothes.We discussed about Baju Melayu and Shi po.According to Hai Ling,Shi Po are meant for women...
The moment that all have been waiting for.After the discussion has ended,all of us went to the waterfall.Everyone seem very happy and Im pretty sure that everyone had a great time splashing water to each other..One happy family.Thats what we are(:

I think its never too late to wish you people Happy Chinese New Year.May all of us have a properous year!Talking about CNY,intelligentsia has managed to give the students from China an unforgettable memories on the Chinese New Year this year.They are far far far away from their family and surely they wont have the same celebration here since Chinese New Year is all about families getting together.But intelligentsians are a family,so we tried our very best to make them feel like home..I think it was a successful one...
Bowling at Megamall in Kuantan,kite making at Cherating,`Makan Besar` at New Horizon in Kuantan and so much more fun activities we did that surely entertained everyone!
As a result, everyone had fun and has gained new experiences during the Chinese New Year.And most importantly is we got to know each other MUCH better!
