ReaD uP... You will never regret about it...

First of all, Heylow gueys… Long time no see… hehehehe…
Have been off from this page for many days (I do mean MANY) and I am fully aware that I need to post something or anything under the sun and moon too. I have always loved the moon rather than the sun. *smile* Why? Well, I don’t think that people are interested though.
So… errr… *thinking*
Yeah!! DING!!
Here comes the time where we, the students, celebrate and welcome the tests and quizzes weeks. After that, comes the icing of the chocolate moist cake (I mean important yeah… Icing is important especially chocolate ones… *mouth waters*), the final exams. Sigh. Yet the semester break, the most anticipated time pops after that, 2 months break is definitely enough for us to store fat before we come back to UMP and strive for our lives with café food.

Back to my original main point with weeks of headaches, migraines, burning oils, pimples, eyebags, etc armed with pens and pencils, to go for those unexpected, unpredictable, unacceptable, unforeseeable, unbelievable, surprisingly (I am trying to lengthen my post here, heheheh) and utterly errr horrible and nerve wreaking thing called love. AIKS… Eh… Eh… EXAMS… kikikikiki… I am always like this, not always straight to the point when I am writing (some professional peoples commented about this…), but it’s nice knowing that people would read what I write.

AGAIN back to real topic (this one gotta be real!! I know people already cursing under their breath…), TESTS and EXAMS… WHAT do I want to share with all INTELL’s blog readerssssss?
Well, STUDY TIPS!! Not the typical normal one yeah! Let have a laugh with the weird ones and maybe it will gives an idea of how are you going to study for this final exams! (I thought of all the tips, I tried to searched online but found nothing… So, here it goes… Feel free to add you own weird and cynical ways of studying…)

1) Shake your head from left to right throughout the time you study (so that the info that you read blends well with you brain).
2) Eats pencils or pens that you use to write and to answer your notes and exercises, it knows what you are supposed to write and remember. If people would do that, you will see me selling pens and pencils at café yeah!!
3) Watch youtube while studying. Erk, that’s not weird! But it is when UMP blocked the webpage, you will be watching ‘302 access denied’ the whole time!!
4) Study with an upside-down book.
5) Study upside-down.
6) Study in your locker.
7) I am out of idea…
8) Talk to the book you are reading. Ask a question and wait for it to answer it.
9) Study on the toilet bowl.
10) Saying ‘I LOVE YOU’ to the book you are reading for 9999 times before starts.
11) Study from 12am to 6 am and sleep in the class. Is this weird?
12) Spell every letters when you are reading. Then, enter SPELL IT RIGHT next year…
13) Sleep 20 hours with books under your pillow.
14) Enter Minutes To Fame and scream ‘I LOVE MATHS’ for 30 seconds (applicable for all subjects).
15) I am dizzy…
16) Study with a plaster on both of your eyes.
17) Chant this tongue twister ‘sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick’ CORRECTLY after every sentence you read.
18) Find a word in the English language rhymes with “MONTH” you start your study sessions, you will get full mark! (by the way, I forgot to tell you that no word rhymes with it…)
19) Bang your head while you study, you can burn calories too! 150 calories per hour!
20) I am really out of idea…

I hope you enjoy my post…
Till then…

Hugs:

Laughter is the Best Medicine...

Laughter is the best medicine. Well,i seriously doubt that statement. But i will give it a try. Here I wanna share with you guys and girls out there some jokes that might add some sense of humour in yourselves. Here I go....

A Lawyer's Deal with the Devil

An aspiring young lawyer was sitting in her office late one night, when Satan appeared before her. The Devil told the lawyer “I have a proposition for you…”

“You can win every case you try for the rest of your life. Your clients will adore you, your colleagues will stand in awe of you, and you will make embarrassing sums of money. All I want in exchange is your your husband’s soul, your children’s souls, the souls of your parents, grandparents, and the souls of all your friends and law partners.”

The lawyer ponders this for a moment, then finally asks: “So, what’s the catch?”

A Blonde's Flight to Chicago

A commercial airplane is in flight to Chicago, when a blonde woman sitting in economy gets up and moves to an open seat in the first class section. A flight attendant watches her do this, and politely informs the woman that she must return to her seat in the economy class because that’s the type of ticket she paid for.

The blonde woman replies, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Chicago and I’m staying right here.”

After repeated attempts and no success convicing the woman to return to economy, the flight attendant goes into the cockpit and informs the pilot and co-pilot that there’s a blonde bimbo sitting in first class who refuses to go back to her proper seat.

The co-pilot goes back to the woman and explains why she needs to move, but once again the woman replies by saying, “I’m blonde, I’m beautiful, I’m going to Chicago and I’m staying right here.”

The co-pilot returns to the cockpit and suggests that perhaps they should have the arrival gate call the police and have the woman arrested when they land. The pilot says, “You say she’s blonde? I’ll handle this. I’m married to a blonde. I speak blonde.” He kneels down next to the woman and whispers quietly in her ear, and she says, “Oh, I’m sorry,” then quickly moves back to her seat in economy class.

The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask him what he said to get her to move back to economy without causing any fuss.

“I told her first class isn’t going to Chicago.”

The Blonde Painter

An ambitious young blonde woman, in need of money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type. She began, door to door, canvassing a wealthy neighborhood for work. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.

“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”

The blonde said, “How about 50 dollars?” The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.

“You’re finished already?” he asked.

“Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats.” Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50.

“And by the way,” the blonde added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”

Well then. There you have it. Three jokes for your laughter. If you don't get any of the jokes, feel free to comment this post and i will reply as soon as i can.

(p/s: if you find any of these jokes offensive, please do comment. Let's learn from our mistakes)

The NEW and err... new?

Last few days ( 10/3/09 ) was Intell's club meeting ( as you all know, we have a meeting every week), and I can proudly say that i attended the meeting (I can't really say that every week. Don't blame me, blame the tests and quizes...)! hehehe...

Well, yesterday's meeting was fun and stomach filling. I am sorry for those who don't get to eat the chocolates. She, who i shall not mention misinterpreted 'take one only' ( she will kill me next time when she sees me or the she is me??!!)... Joking... In that meeting, we discussed about the Community Excursion Programmes, MINUTES TO FAME, DANCING COMPETITION, and TRIP TO GENTING and last but not least AI D' BEIJING which we still don't know what is going on with it... ANd there was new addition of members into our family! YEAY!

HAH...

Melaka

Firstly,thousand apologies to everyone because my lfe was quite hectic for the past few weeks.So i didnt get the chance to update our precious blog..forgive me okay(:


I think its never too late to share with everyone about our successful trip to melaka.I would like to congrats everyone for the splendid job while we were in Melaka.I admit at first everything was quite out of control.Most of the people were extremely tired and moody but at the end of the trip,everyone will remember it as a joyful one.Bravo!Mini Malaysia was a blast.
The most fascinating house was actually Selangor's but unfortunately it was under construction.(Hint:I am a true Selangorian and i am bias).Haha.The next place goes to...Sarawak's.The staircase is very unique...and also the floor although it hurts my feet..


Earlier we've been told that there will be performances by their dancers at the Pentas Teja at 2.00pm.They are very punctual,the dancers.At 2.00pm,the performances started.They were great!We were really amazed...Then they invited us to dance wih them on stage and we did(not me.im a shy girl.haha)Most of us did...That was the time that reveals that Intelligentsians are not really good dancers.Some MAYBE.Its very hard actually to dance gracefully.Credits to the dancers in Malaysia especially in UMP!

I did had a great time.I think we all did.I hope there will be more happy moments with our own family,Intelligentsians.

S.I.R '09 Word Lists

FRieNDS FoR aLL SeaSoNS

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."

SBPI Kuantan

Its me again...(:

Last Wednesday,Intelligentsians together with the CEP students went to SBPI Kuantan.Actually,we were suppose to go to the Teluk Cempedak for our CEP activity.But we were very lucky that SBPI Kuantan has invited us to their school.They told Zati(PIC for the day) that they are going to perform for all of us in order to show the China students about the cultures of Malaysia.

And they did!It was such an interesting performances by the students of SBPI Kuantan.Silat,dikir barat,nasyid and some other performances were performed on that day and it went really smooth.
Besides then the performances,there were also booth on how to make ketupat palas and how to play congkak.Outside the hall,there were also some students of SPBI Kuantan playing wau.That made my friend,Hai Ling eager to try to play the wau and she managed playing with it with the guidance of the SBPI Kuantan students.

I think everybody had fun that day.I sure did!

Cant wait for the next activity...

Thats all from me 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 9^th Feb to 13^th 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 13^th 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 China which is conducted by Intelligentsia Club, the Buddy Programme. I am sure that most of you are aware of this programme and I am definitely sure that you are ‘aware’ of the new ‘lengchais’ and ‘lengluis’ around our campus (got you!! and me too of course… hehehe….).

The objectives of this particular programme is to help our friends from China to adapt in this new environment with the help of ‘Buddies’. Other than that, the ‘Buddies’ is also responsible to aid our new friends in English and help them to obtain Band 3 in MUET this mid year (with the help of all lecturers too…Without them? I don’t think so…) so that they can continue their studies in our university pursuing the courses that they are taking. Not to forget, all the fun activities and traveling that we all will be doing together as a family!!

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 China this semester break.

*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!

xoxo
