Open book assignment

It's not as simple as you see the word "open book."

Open book, and you may not see the answer you want, not so direct, not so straight forward.

I am having a very difficult time to balance my time between study and online. Like playing kiddo farming games or restaurant games.

Too bad...

I got 5 outta 10 for my management paper Q3.
I guess I'm the lowest of all.
I hope I can score well for Q1 and Q2.

Please take my sorrow away *sob sob*

Sob sob!

I hate PMS!

I don't know where to start to do my revision for 3 years!

Why I mixed up strategic planning and operational planning?


Sweetie, I miss you! *uhukhukkk*

Sunday in Sibu for birthday party + Day 2

Story is continue from the SMALL living room- enough for all of us to snap, snap, snap... non-stop. And we even play outside the road *shy*
*peek-a-boo*
the sum of their age allows you to get senior citizen's discounts.Told you that those Sarawakians are passionate and being good hosts to us. The host brought out the home-made biscuits/ buns out. Oven- fresh! This is their 光饼 (guang bing). "Guang" means light. ANyway, no light emitted -.- They have various type. The one in our mouth are with minced pork. Nice. Imagine the pork bun with softness. In the market is around 3 for RM 1.20!!!Ok, darkness reigned. And it's 7 something only. Here we have our party. Catering and some home- cooked food. We were so stuffed by some noodles which known as "kampua." It's like our Wantan Mee but tasted much better, more springy the noodles. no pic here, sorry XD exactly the same look lah!! The most yellowish in the centre of us is the birthday girl- whom always pack less when travelling home as her mom will just buy new clothes for her if not enough, according to her. She was crowned with her present, a big big big bunch of (cuddly- pillow) banana. Ok, I am inside Kenari. We were brought out for some sight- seeing. See some night view. (look, where am i?)A bunch of us walked on the road, cross the road, the rough divider in the centre (which almost scatch my thigh)... It's around 9 pm. And the frequency you see any vehicle pass by is about one in every 2.5 minutes! Even Alor Star is not that.... erm... pathetic? peaceful?



Ok, tired so we headed back to our respective 'home' and sleep like a log. *tick-tok, tick-tok...*


Day 2 in Sibu
Morning~~~~ Bonjour!Ok, it's a great morning with Ag's mom serving breakfast! Very early, the other friends arrive and we, those staying in Ag' place were just about to wake up.*sluuuurrrrrp* LAM PUI a.k.a wet rice! Not porridge! No no no!Wet rice and some simple home- cooked food. The brown thingy were chicken in soya sauce- thumbsup!Finish eating then we prepare to go out walk- walk lo!! Girls in pink and I'm the widest of all! love the blue blue sky!This time I don't need to sit in the boot. YEAH!Special in Sarawak: Chinese words on signboards. imagine how packed the signboards would be when long long Malay street names being translated to Chinese language. In Alor Star, you see Jawi + B.M.Today the journey is all about parks/ gardens. Behind us is some rocky park within a residential area. Long ago, there was water fountain and now no more. In our place, if you get a children play area you should feel so happy and close your mouth and laugh. Imagine, one non- luxurious residential area with this kind of infrastructure. Are they too wealthy or spacious?
Have I not introduce my roommate? The one on the most right in darker pink tee.
Neh, neh, neh~ Rocky park... and the pool is too shallow to be true... Reflection nice or not ^.^ ?We were acting so happy and the fact is we were under a scorchingly hot sun, giving me tanned line and being moody and irritably! But sunny girls look pretty all the time! Hey, you know what time is this? It's 11 plus!!! Thanks to Kenny -.-" Under shade of umbrella whenever possible is cool. Behind, there was a pool, formerly a mining pool (if I remember well).


Ok, then we continued to visit next park. On the way, we passed by some Catholics cemetery. So, the next photo would tell you how the place look like. hmmm...just scroll down fast if you want to avoid it.
It's ok, gut-dependant XD




















Next, it's this park. Some difficult name to remember.
The greenish pool have a lot of fishes and tourists can just grab some fish food for 1 bucks and they'll come near to you! None of us were kind enough to play with fishes. My mood was kind of affected by the hot weather.Very affected to the extend of heading to shaded area to take pictures and let the photographer zoomed in... and my responsibility is to smile as happy as possible, as if the weather is so lovely. I don't know why, I just don't quite fancy outdoor. Being indoor or outdoor you still get some skin damages anyway, so why not get'em by sitting in air-cond room, drinking more water and apply sun- block plus skin lotion plus lip balm... That's more comforting! Sweat makes me smell bad and sticky and leading to moody and emotional and frustrated!Wearing jacket to prevent hot sun from aging our skins. Extra umbrella will do a better work! Here hiking up for some better view.Hate the shakiness of hanging bridges. Sarawak has hanging bridges at almost all parks. And they have many parks in the first place. Getting up so high, closer to radiation and sunburn! Ouch~Here, the peak. The background was Sg. Rajang with factories for tree trunks along riverbank. Hate chopping off trees. Make the weather getting worse.Tea break: lil cup cake. or egg cake. (what cake doesn't made of egg anyway?) This kind of cakes were once my fav during chidlhood. Cakes in fish shape or round lil dome shape! haha... Childhood is good! Adulthood- you got to buy cakes on your own.Ok, this's another park. *big hot sun* Nai Tang Park 乃棠公园
It's a park to commemorate those FooChow ancestors who came over to Sibu from China, and develop this Sibu. Think Kapitan who develop KL. Or Parameswara who founded the Malacca and made it so big and occupied by jealous- superego people. So, it seems Sibu wasn't that rich that time.

Ok, so 3 of us(from left: Joyce, Wendy and me) stood before the statue of Nai Tang. *salute**serious* and it seems someone can't hold for a moment and seriously, burst out laughing after the shutter sound of my camera.A curvy wall with marble all over. From left: Choon, Joyce, Wendy, Irene, Orange, me, Sophie, Helen and S.Ling (roommate!!)


Ok, after sweating and burning for the whole noon, finally we get to bathe and dressed up for dinner in Sze's house! On reaching her kitchen, to our surprise/ horror,
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So many food were there waiting for us to savor!My fav!! Assam BBQ chicken wings. Immediately I had my hands washed and tuck in! Dislocate the joints and *yum yum* savor heartily. And I had a lot of nice double-boiled chicken soup! I love soups!!!! YEAH!After food, we have big 'toy' to play. Hey Hey! Cute baby waiting pretty nurses to feed him (or her, forgotten) Refused to be burped, can't stop sucking the milk.Oh no Joyce, see how did you sit that time just to take photo with the big fat baby!!! Whose baby is that? Sze's someone's baby right?

Ok, after dinner, we left the house with a great thanks to Sze's Eurasian- alike mom and headed to Paw's grandma's house for SUPPER! EAT AGAIN!

That's all, too long. You may not be able to swallow your saliva fast enough. Save the aromatic red wine mee suah and muachi-alike tang yuan for next post! To be continued.......... :)

Day 1 in Sibu

Today is my first day for test in this semester. In future 5 months, basically, averagely is monthly test including those big big one! this morning, I made a mistake of leaving a piece of note unattended while doing revision at 6. 30 a.m. and that caused me to loose 5 marks over 30.

Distinguish between strategic and operational planning. (5 marks)

I was pretty confident as I analyzed the keywords and I blah out everything that I came across or heard (during class). Seriously, I thought 3 or 4 is possible until my friend told me,
"Ya, right... It's exactly opposite..." (faint)

So, no more 3 or 4, it's going to be zero for that. Now hopefully I don't mark for the fillintheblank for Organization chart. "Medical Services" was substituted by "Medicine". PLEASE! Tell me that they mean the same.

Ok, bygone Management paper (part of behavioral science) and possibly the next paper is much easier to handle after burning essential midnight oil. Being able to upload some photos is good enough. Let's see.

Oh, this is Agnes (2nd, left)'s house (kitchen) where we were welcomed by FooChow's traditional Chicken soup mee suah (fine, long noodles, think vermicelli or angels hair) as we arrived in Sibu. It's best served with wine (hong zhao) made of herbs. In our language, it's called 'red wine' but in fact it's not grapes' product. So, 4 of us from right (me), we stayed in Agnes's home! After few hours without having to complete gastric emptying, we arrived in another friend's bungalow for chinese lunar birthday. We, the westerners from Peninsula were splited into 3 groups and stayed in 3 friends' house. The hosts are most left, most right and the 6th from right (the lil head between green&black tee).Before party starts, we played around on the street. Camwhoring using my 10-buck-3ft-tripod. Successfully caught the attention of those landcruiserSSS that passed by us. We were satisfied by the ample space for 8 hens to pose happily~ XDTripod-camwhoring in Kenny's living room. This is a TINY lil corner of her BIG living room.

Sadly, that's all for now. I will try to complete the story ASAP. Will try assemble photos using PhotoScape and upload. GIMME TIME and don't hesitate to come biack again!


(back to thick thick books...)

Who say?

Who say nursing is meant for those lousy students from the last class, who have minimal potential to be successful in other fields?

If the statement is true, why am I having the stress? Why am I having extensive coverage of pimples on T- zone? Why I strive so hard?

So, do you mean that I am from the last class of lousy student? So, what is the significance for a student to score GPA of 3.8 or 3.9?

Simply it means, the next time when you are sick, or your wife going to deliver or watever cause, you get a intelligent carer who knows how to handle your condition and foresee any complications that may arise and take precautions needed. And you can be sure that your life is safe, you are in good hands with the mercy of God!



Why is there discrimination for this particular profession?



BUSY SEM

Alright, this explains why I appear so infrequently to update blog. I have many things to share. But I just don't have the time for it. In fact, tomorrow I am having a test on Management paper. Yet, I feel like doing this during MY break! Self- prescribed break~

Ok, tat's enough. No more photos. Too big to upload'em.

***small talk: Do you understand when MAnnie, the mammot screamed "Code Blue!Code Blue" in Ice Age 3 when Ellie has a kick from the baby? *smile sheep sheep sheepishly, prouuuuuuudly*
