Finally graduated! :D

Yeah! I'm proud to be a graduate of UPM :)) The first day I stepped into UPM, I was impressed by the lush green picturesque scenery! In fact, a conducive environment is very important for me. Then, I met a bunch of crazy friends! We studied together and had fun at the same time. Test results were not an issue or any big deal for us and most importantly was the learning process. We never hesitate to help each others all the time. I miss the Q&A session conducted by us one day before each test and how we annoyed each other when we were stressful lols I also miss the days when I first learned tennis, traditional dance, Japanese, and joined all sorts of interesting activities in UPM.   

Of course there were moments that I felt I didn't belong to here and disappointed with the curriculum. Still, at the end of the days, I am proud and grateful to choose UPM as my first choice :)

and guess what, I was smiling all the way when looking at the photos and reminiscing all the crazy moments that were captured vividly in my mind. It's not the fame or ranking of university that counts, but the lovely people around me that never fail to make me smile :) 

I ❤ my friends! (｡◕‿◕｡)

 

My family :)) they are the greatest support for me! I'm such a lucky girl to have the best daddy mommy and brother sisters in the world!

My caring granny :)

Last but not least, a little prize that surprised me :) it's indeed an encouragement for me!

4 Years Diary

Finally I get the photos from my friend! Here're the photos of my housemates photo-shooting! 100% taken in UPM lol Credit to my roomie Ee Von and her boyf TCM lol :)) I really love the photos! 

\

Finally I've handed in my thesis and waved good bye to UPM. I'm glad to leave UPM but at the same time feel sad to be apart with my beloved coursemates especially my housemates. I feel lucky to have them, I do cherish all the moment with them no matter there's tear or laughter. I miss the time we helped each other and studied together for assignments and tests, and not forgetting the pillow talk and gossiping. Frankly I've learnt a lot from them since there're different qualities in each individual- patience, efficiency, kindness, determination and independence. Although our future path will be different, some gonna pursue phD and some will be working, I do hope that a beautiful and happy future lies in front of us.  

A whole new chapter will begin soon for all of us! May all of us have a great future :))

NSM Scientific Conference

Final sem is the most busy uni life for me.. constantly loaded with heavy schedule include assignments, presentations, tests, lab work, and thesis writing. Currently still busy preparing for final exam, thesis and assignments. Few days more to settle all these stuffs before I could finally yell out out that I GONNA GRADUATE!!!! so be patience... few days more....... sigh* things don't really go well according to schedule. I've missed out few invited activities recently included Yuna Sparkle Project music video launch and London Summer Musical premier. 

Anyway graduation is not really a good news for us nutritionists though. Good thing would be I'll be freed from this boring UPM where I've wasted my precious youth and has been AGING there (grew more wrinkles I think). Bad thing would be most of us are in a predicament where we can't really weasel out- WHAT TO DO NEXT. Further study? Hunt for job? Gov or private? Medical sales rep? Bombarded with all these questions...... without a way out. I'm kinda speechless for this 4-years course. Don't wanna criticize it anymore because it has both positive and negative perspectives. But what I wanna say is nutritionist has good job prospect in overseas but not really in Malaysia.    

Well stop with those rantings.. Of course there're some things that I won't be regretted. I've known a bunch of great friends in UPM :) Learned a lot from each of them. Joined activities.. and GROW (not aging) stronger and more independent. I'm proud to have the nutrition knowledge. so by the time I graduate, I gonna update a blog post regarding nutrition, maybe weight control? I dunno :) not yet figure it out. but surely I'll present a big MALAYSIAN FOOD PYRAMID to all the readers (if there's any LMAO)

So.. I've been in dilemma a while ago regarding my future but finally have made up my mind. Waiting for the good news now (hopefully) before I announce it to everyone on what I gonna do next. If it's a bad news then I might think of the alternatives such as further study on master (overseas) or phD (local uni)? or working maybe?

Well well well.... just wanna show some photos on Scientific Conference of the Nutrition Society of Malaysia. Last year I've attended the conference and blog about it. SO FAST, 1 yr passed in a blink of eyes. Last year, I played with my friends, slept, ate.....lalala in the conference... this year again.. but with an extra role- as the poster presenter. and....I skipped the second half of the conference on the 2nd day.. went to PC Expo and Mickey Mouse Fair in Mid Valley BAD ME

Farewell 2011 Embrace 2012

I'm definitely a lazy bum! My blog is in hibernation mode for many days since I'm darn busy this few weeks. Anyway thinking a lot of things lately like planning what to do after graduation, YES I'm gonna graduate next year around May-June! Time flies, every moment in UPM is awesome LOL but the only disappointment is I think what I have learnt is not much relevant to Nutrition. Wasted all my study time there :/

Anyway why this post is on? Of course I gonna flash back what have happened in 2011 :) 2011 is another ordinary year for me but a little changes occurred if compared to previous years. And guess what I always been thinking this might be last year of celebrating all the events with my dearest friends in UPM as next year we might be apart to pursue what we choose after graduation :) So let's start all the wonderful things encountered in 2011 on this last day of the year!

#1 Of course the most fruitful event of this year is the internship in ISN. It was the most awesome moment ever as I've learnt many things ranging from nutritional knowledge includes supplements, anthropometric measurement, nitritional advice and education, to become a stalker of muscular sportsmen LOL I also made a bunch of new friends from there too! Guess what was the comment from my supervisor, I'm hardworking haha but too quiet!! She encouraged me to speak more, ask for their help and socialize, in order to gain more knowledge and opportunities.  I always know I have this problem, haha I feel shy to talk unless I'm really familiar with them! :P I truly cherished the moment there, had so much fun working there because they're not only working, but will go makan-makan and jalan-jalan together! :))

Sukan Malaysia (Previously known as SUKMA) 2011 :)

Visit the park with Ms. Chai and Dr. Liz

Acting before dinner lol

#2 Next is my part time work in International Furniture Market. Too bad I didn't take photos there! This is the first time I've been working like so "in-depth" lol Actually it was an exhibition of furniture company located in MAEPS, Serdang. First 2 days I was in the operation team, looked after the whole hall because the construction was carried out there to construct the wooden floor and the booth. It was a whole new experience since I never witness the whole process of construction for an exhibition. I can see how they carry all the woods, more correctly is the materials looked so "MISERY" but they can make it into a grand and awesome booth! I was like a contractor haha wore mask since the environment was dusty and dirty, and had a walkie-talkie, ordered the workers to wear pass and directed them here and there! LOL Then when the site was ready for exhibition, I turned into a receptionist at information counter haha. Although the job was really tough especially in operation team because many conflicts occurred between the contractor and organizer, and we were the ones always got scolded by both sides. But in turn, I've learnt a lot of new things :) like how to deal with people and look into the reality of working.

Manage to steal one pic from others *winks*

#3 And it didn't stop here! Next one is.... *ta da* I finally enroll in Japanese language course! I'm interested to learn this long time ago but didn't manage to register due to my timetable. Japanese language is interesting and fun! Now I can understand the drama and anime (a bit la, still need to rely the subtitles) and can act half Japanese hahaha who knows I'll further study in Japan and make full use of what I've learnt :P

First time wearing Yukata *excited*

#4 Also, in this year, I've attended NSM Scientific Conference which is an important event for all the nutritionist in Malaysia to share the updated scientific evidences and studies (although I spent most of the time eating and sleeping there). Next year will be my batch to present but this conference is focus more on community health, while my study is on nutritional science. Anyway I'll be there to support my coursemates haha it's always an intense "fight" between UPM and UKM lmao

 With Dr. Tee, the president of Nutrition Society Malaysia

Everywhere we go-oh~ we must take photo-oh~ 

#5 Malacca backpack trip with friends! I've decided to join at very last minute because I think Malacca is a boring place. But I was wrong! I had so much fun for this trip :) The food there are delicious!! I had the chance to taste mille crepe, Nyonya cuisine, Portuguese cuisine, fried oyster and cockles :) Also got to know the comfortable and extremely nice guest house- Tang's House to stay over. Thanks to my friends for planning this out so successfully.

#6 Attended the course night, this might be ordinary for all of you but not me! This is the last year of attending course night in UPM :)) Glad to know the cute juniors. They're awesome!

#7 Hennessy Artistry Party! Cool and fun. First time attended this kind of party :) enjoyed it very much lol

#8 Finally not to forget all the meaningful celebrations with my friends :))

CNY feast with coursemates!!
