Flooded!

Date: 27 July 2009
Duration: 2243
Mood: Cold
My house was flooded today.
It had been raining heavily and continuously since today early morning. Consequently, my house toilets, kitchen and car porch was flooded till ankle level the moment i woke up at 1pm.
This should be the most critical condition, should i rate it as level 2.0?
Previously, the flood condition was considerable. Only toilets and carporch was flooded in the previous disaster. Comparatively, we were considered luckier. Neighbours surrounding us were suffering a more critical condition.( our house was 2-3 inches higher due to years ago renovation) The family next to my left side neighbour were drained out from the house as the whole house from front till back was flooded. The whole family were walking around with umbrella under the dizzle, asking around " How's your flood in the house???":~
Wern wern was really excited seeing the carporch and kitchen surrounded by muddy water. Mum had to keep warning her not to walk into the "shallow ponds". JUST LOCK HER UP WOULD BE A BETTER SOLUTION, I GUESS~
Can you imagine, what would happen when your toilet get flooded. Not the toilet bowl get flooded. It's your whole toilet get flooded!You could see creatures and some unknown CHEMICALS floating around.
That's really very disgusting as it stinked as well! If you were to answer your call of nature, you better think of a way to keep it on hold the longer you could. That's what mum and I did today.
I have no idea what's the purpose of restructuring the whole draining system in my home taman( it took place in previous year) when it never resulted any improvement at all?? In fact, the flood condition worsen!
The water level only decrease around evening. Could you imagine??Me not going toilet till evening???
( i'm someone who visit toilet fequently whenever i go, even i'm home~My bladders work fine!!!)
Arrgghh....
Today's a rainy day, a flood invaded my home!

Complicating versus Simplifying

Date: 19 July 2009

Mood: Cool, dizzy
I studied CA the whole day.
Doing CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET for the whole day.
The text book just does not help much !
Thank You, Simpson~
Not that cartoon simpson that small child like wern wern usually watch. It's Mr. Sim Kian Dey who taught me Managment Account II(MA II) and Financial Reporting Standard II(FRS II).
He really left a big impact on me. I benefit from what he taught me till this semester. Before i started "preparing Consolidated Balance sheet" , i read back the notes simpsons prepared for FRS II.
Thank God that i was granted such a great lecturer who would simplify everything instead of complicating everything( that's what a foreign lecturer usually does )
To be frank, i did not have good feeling towards Simpson at the first lesson. Maybe that's what we call prejudice. Throughout the two semesters, i changed my perspective and attitute towards this lecturer.
He's a thoughtful and honest lecturer. If he did not prepare for that particular tutorial question and could not figure out why was the answers so, he would just admit it and apologise, promising that he would explain to us in the next class. And HE DID!
I was not mad at him. Sincerity makes him respectful.
Thanks once again.
If it's not because of his notes, it would probably take much time that it would be to understand consolidated balance sheet preparation.
Coming to university life, it's true that we need to discipline ourselves and be independent instead of cultivating the cultures of waiting to be spoon-feeded.
However, getting a good lecturer who could simplify everything for you is vital in conducting a qualify education.
If lecturers do not play their roles at all and we just need to study by ourselves, why do we need to go lectures? Is not that a waste of time, a waste of resources?

FOLLOW ME CONDITIONER SHAMPOO!

Date:18 July 2009
Duration:2325
I just sat for my TAX II midterm in the morning.
I came out with 50 % uncertainties. I doubted if i could do well in this subject final paper.
I did blamed her, our "beloved" lecturer who follows the marking scheme unreasonably strict and reads through slides without any further explanation in the lectures.
------------------
My mood today is very complicated.
I was glad that the mid term exam is over but at the same time, i became unsure of myself. I was unsure how well had i actually prepared myself.
I am tired after one whole day loitering at MP and DP once after the mid term exam.
I feel myself stupid sometimes for doing things that i do not know why i am doing.
Till then, while surfing Facebook, i saw ENGSOC AGM slides which reminded me of AUTOSHOW APRECIATION BBQ NIGHT at Pandai kundur. I WAS IN THAT SLIDES!! We were snapped while we were washing hands with the FOLLOW ME CONDITIONER SHAMPOO i brought. I still had no idea why it was that funny that time where everyone was snapping photo of us washing hands with conditioners and laughing away??
In the end, we joined the laughter and the one whole group were laughing away.
Hmm.. they wondered why i brought one new big bottle of FOLLOW ME CONDITIONER to wash hands instead of the washing liquids?
It was for the sake of the group. There were quite a number of people there and i was afraid that one little bottle of liquid was insufficient to meet the demand of oily hands. Though being laughed, I felt no shy at all as i knew they were just kidding around and were thruthful right at that moment. In the end, we were all laughing together. THEY STILL USE THAT CONDITIONER SHAMPOO TO WASH HANDS~~~><
-----------------------------
That was...ermm...in my beta year. two years ago..Thinking back, i smile from the bottom of my heart, mesmorising that funny moment. Though in the middle of the event, it was though to get through the hot weather and the sudden calls back to do the program books, it was totally enjoyable for me.
I was really happy at that time.
Not because of the success of the event, it's because of the people in the event.
Working in a really caring and sharing environment whereby SUMAY( the director of publicity division) was just like close friend of ours was really comfortable.
I still remembered her little puppy that barked fiercely but was too shy to step out from that little room of hers. Sumay told us that she was just too shy to meet the crowds.
In our path to pursue life and find out meaning of life, obstacles are just along the roads. In the journey of life, should i say the people that we meet determine the level of ease of clearing the obstacles and going through the difficulties in life? But one thing for sure, self attitute plays an important role in every stage of life.
In a cooperative environment whereby everyone works hand and hand instead of stabbing each other back and stepping each other heads , workloads tend to be lighter and life tends to be happier.
AUTOSHOW is not the only event that i joined. The joy of joining it and being part of it could never be found in any other event i joined.
i would forever remember that joyful moment.
