interview+register

Interview

hahaha...2day, i went for a scholarship interview......geee....i was, well not soooo nervous!!!! bcoz i dunno what to expect, i just prepared those info bout myself....luckily, they just ask those things!!! well, i applied for The Star's education fund.....applied for 2, 1 is Bachelor of Arts (communication & media managemant) at Taylor's College, the other 1 is at UNITAR, which i already forgotten what course that i applied!! so, i was shortlisted....at the Taylor's....and my interview is 2day...my papa sent me there...when we reached the college, we were lost...the college were soo big...luckily the 'information center' was in an obvious spot....the lady incharge gave me a form which was supposed to fill by those candidates for the interview...went to the school of communication's office, where i guess all those study communication are at this block..there was a girl, whom i guess also came for this interview...the lady incharge, was Miss Koo, who is this college's student services executive. she asked me to wait at the lounge there.

so, i ended up talking to the girl..her name is Tan Yee Leng...well, she's from cheras, and she took stpm too....she said she has 5 siblings, which are all gals...and she said it was not soo best...u know, being in an all girls siblings...so, her mum was quite protective, until she went to work after spm...i guess she really hunger for freedom, coz she said it was the best moment when she went out to work...while we were talking, then came one guy, rushing in to the lounge...he sat at the other table to fill a form, n we guessed he also came for the interview...after filling the form, yee leng asked him to join us...he introduced himself, which i couldnt remember his name as his name was 'rare'...this guy is from johor...whoah!!! sooo far away!!! n he's here with his parents....well, actually, the parents came along coz the three of them are going to visit this boy's sister...she's is studying at The Nottingham, at Semenyih...she will be leaving Malaysia to UK....so her family members came to visit her lah.....only then we realished that there was only 3 of us who are going for the interview (all same course)...mayb they shortlisted a few for a course as there are also other courses and other private colleges/universities

as we were talking, time passes...and the boy really looked very nervous....the only thing that i dont get it was, why was the interview starts sooo late? yee leng's time supposed to be at 2.45 pm, while the boy's time should be at 3 pm...mine supposed to start at 3.15 pm, which means every interview lasts for 15 minutes....then, at 3.15 pm Miss Koo came and asked yee leng to go in...the interview, at last, going to start! so, only left me n the boy...we didnt talked much, as the boy really looked very nervous..but time passed very SLOWLY.....although it's only 15 minutes..at last, yee leng came out and the boy went in.....finally, itz my turn...i just went in, and i saw 2 ladies n 2 men, plus Miss Koo herself... i guess these 4 person are from The Star as they are the 1 who give the scholarship...well, they didnt ask much, actually, i'm the one who do the talking...talk bout myself...co-curiculum that i took part....interest..these kind of things....roughly after 15 minutes, the interview finished...i wouldnt said that i was verrrry nervous, but the thing is, i'm not used to speak in english...so, i was kindda stuttering....hahaha! the result will be coming out next week...

Register

2morrow, 11 may, my 3rd uncle, from my mum's side, went for register...i wished i was there, taking some photo for him, but my papa didnt want to go....well, actually, they register at Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, which is near my grandma's house...so, i couldnt drive by myself, as my parents wouldnt allowed, but hey, i drive back before, except that i drove with my aunt as my passenger lah!! u must be asking why they will not allowed, right? coz the road to my grandparent's house is just like the old road to Cameron Highlands, or the road to Genting Highlands, minus going up the hill....basicly, the road are winding, plus have lots of big lorries, carrying tree trunks, oil, etc to the Pahang that side.....actually, if these lorries are going to Pahang that side, they must go this way, as this is the shortcut....anyway, just want to say congratulations to my uncle...my mum 'reduce' 1 single siblings! heheh! i still have 2 uncles and 1 aunt left who is still single....i think my grandma is the happiest...coz all this while, she's always nagging her children to get marry fast...but we know that a suitable partner is not easy to find....it takes time...it always starts from friends...only then we will know whether they suit us or not....but i guess, if we have partners, we should wisely manage some time with them..otherwise, they'll feel neglected...so, i just wonder how my aunt can find a partner as she's always busy with her work...anyway, just wish these bachelors and what we call those unmarried girl? bachelor girl? good luck in finding their partners!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

today is my birthday....hahaha...happy birthday to me....turn 20 2day....above is my birthday cake...cappuccino cake...mum bought it from baker's cottage...quite delicious...got my birthday gifts from my friends...only 2.....and 2 birthday cards.....and loads of birthday messages whether itz from friendster or myspace or sms......i didnt feel sad as i had not received many presents as i dont think birthday gifts are soooooo important....watz important for me itz dat my friends still remember my birthday...whether itz new friends that i made in form 6 or old friends from secondary school or old old friends from primary school...i think that's the bestest gift.....just a simple birthday wish will make me happy...at least, people still remember me....i'm not that kind of person who is popular among the students....so, not many people know 'bout me...and i'm glad that among those friends that i made, they really treat me as their friends as how i treat them....fair enough....

by the way, my family celebrate all of our members' birthday, included my aunt, who on and off come and stay with us.....we just celebrate the birthdays by eating cakes...no more than that...so, i just spent my day at home 2day...i remembered that on last year's 25 april, i was at school and had bowling lessons after school....2005's 25 april i celebrated v my friends by meeting at midvalley(coz after spm, havent meet after that!!)....2004's 25 april was a school day and was a friday and i brought along the gifts to tuition centre (coz i went to tuition after school)!!! then 2003's 25 april was a school day, but my friends and i went to shopping at jaya jusco klang to celebrate it....celebrate with a party is just not our style...although i've done it b4....when i was younger and stayed with my grandparents....maybe when i was 4 n 5 years old...i stayed with my grandparents in a village at sri menanti, negeri sembilan coz my parents were working in shah alam...they couldnt take care of me so i stayed v my grandma n grandpa...that's when the birthday party was held....neighbours' children were also invited!!! n the cake was very bigg!!hahaha....that's the way they celebrate sthing in a village...everybody got invited...

my siblings and i never wish for any birthday gifts from our parents....NEVER.....this is bcoz everything that my parents bought for us were considered as our birthday gifts...whenever we went shopping, anything that we wanted to buy, they will buy for us, as long as itz affordable and itz meant for us....say, buying toys when we were younger....but, things like cds, magazines, they'll think itz a waste of money...but, back then, when i said i wanted to buy, although they still 'nagging' 'bout how wasteful (of money) it is, they still bought for me....until when i got older, i bought those things quitely v my pocket money....so, really, we never lack of anything...what we need, itz already been there...therefore, birthday gifts really is not part of our birthday thing from parents...itz just mainly from our friends...i'm glad that i have them to b my parents!!

maksim

Electrik

maksim is a Croatian pianoist...i like his music very much...since he's a pianoist, so he wouldnt be a singer...and u wouldnt hear his voice as he is not singing...i dunno what type of music itz called...new age? because there is no one singing, so, i think itz refreshing to hear his music after hearing songs who sung by someone else....his selection of tracks mostly is a mixture of classics and modern.....so, sometime u'll find some pieces of his tracks that u are quite familiar with... and in his fifth album, Electrik, itz really an 'electric' selection...this album is a heady mixture of recognisable popular classics, which i bet u guys havent heard of it b4 + new compositions by his long time collaborator, Tonci Huljic, and a few unexpected suprises...this is what Maksim said about Electrik...

"Most of the pieces here have a really upbeat production," he says. "I myself really like clubs and electronic music - it is the music I most listen to after classical - so the idea of people dancing to one of my pieces in the club is really, really challenging."

The album's opener The Gypsy Maid (from IL Trovatore, an opera) is a fantastic manifesto for his approach...it starts off almost folkily, with the jolly tune becoming increasingly dramatic and an insistent beat adding a real sense of purpose...itz not hard to imagine hearing this in a club - it has the internal rhythms of a rave...Maksim plays his piano like a DJ works the decks, knowing how to control the crowd: lifting them high, bringing them down, speeding things up or chilling it out.

Although itz an 'electric''s album, sure it has a very modern feel, but it's by no means all relentlessly full of beats and electronic effects.....it still have some classics' tracks.........

"There are a few pieces on each of my albums that are slower tunes or more filmic music" says Maksim, "People can listen to this in the car or to chill out when they get home as well as in the club."

And he's right about his music's filmic (pertaining to motion pictures) qualities....several tracks are obviously very cinematic...listening to the music, itz just like watching a movie...but, of course, without the picture...these tracks just make the listener have to conjure up their own images....the fast-paced Requiem Listen with its apocalyptic choir could be the theme for the climax of a dark, but action-packed superhero adventure - the sound of someone saving the world....and Beyond Rangoon/Waters Of Irrawaddy is from an actual film's soundtrack, being Maksim take on the Patricia Arquette film's score by Hans Zimmer..itz very subtle and both incredibly emotional and uplifting....his lyrical playing of the slowly sweeping melodies calls up the lapping of water and the drama of high mountains....classical standards such as Hall Of The Mountain King sometimes victims of their own familiarity, are made to sound fresh again.

itz perhaps not surprising that this is a very democratic album...he not only demonstrates that high culture can be made accessible to all, but also that pop music is not necessarily as throw-away as it first appears...a version of ABBA's The Way Old Friends Do makes an unexpected appearance, its sentimentality transformed into uplifting emotion and military style drums adding dramatic backbone.....

for me, every albums that he made has itz own 'personality'....from his first (his first album was not released outside croatia as he's still not popular at that time...if i'm not mistaken, itz in year 2000)...well, should i say, starts from the second album till his fifth album, there are different 'personalities' in these albums...but one thing for sure, itz a mixture...classics and modern...this is how he tried to 'introduce' the classical's tracks for the younger generations....as i say b4, itz a kind of music where u can try after having those 'singing songs'....some of his tracks really make me wanna 'push hard' on doing something, like when i'm really frustrating or when i feel that i couldnt finish or achieve something, i will listen to some of his tracks that i feel itz really has the POWER to push me move forward....itz feel like 'inspirational'....thank you, Maksim!!!!

these are the tracks from the album:

1.The Gypsy Maid 2.Requiem Listen 3.Child In Paradise 4.Anchem 5.Hall Of The Mountain King 6.Nachrach 7.Beyond Rangoon/Waters Of Irrawaddy 8.March Of The Icons 9.Tango In Ebony 10.Carmen Entr'acce 11.Prelude In C 12.In Paradisum 13.The Way Old Friends Do

Welcome.
How do you do?
I'm Chong.
Nice to meet you.
I'm a Malaysian.
I'm studying the Japanese language.
My birthday is on the 25th of April.
Please come again.
Goodbye.

hahaha...i'm currently learning the japanese language..by myself....i wanna learn coz i hope to be a translator and want to be easy when i go to uni (although i can take japanese class at uni, it will b easier if i have the basic!!)...and this language has the market tooo....just think the best sides of japan like technology, n u'll know what i mean...but, since i'm not schooling right now, so, i feel a bit lazy to continuosly learn the language...i'll always find an excuse to skip this language 'class'....like no mood today or got favourite programmes to watch, this kind of excuses...but now, i think i have to start to do it seriously...otherwise i'll not be finished until next year!! :) so, u guys will wonder how am i gonna learn without going to the language class, right?...well, my aunt went to learnt b4 (at language centre), n she left those books with me...so, i learn from these books and from those exercises that she did b4...and search in internet for the pronounciation...

basicly, there are 3 types of japanese writing, that is kanji, hiragana and katakana.

Kanji:
-used for expressing 'meaningful' elements such as nouns & stems of adjectives and verbs.
-characters borrowed from chinese language.
-usually got 2 readings, the 'on' reading that is originated from chinese pronounciation, and the 'kun' reading that is the japanese reading.

Hiragana:
-used for expressing 'gramatical" elements such as particles and ending of adjectives and verbs which show tenses.

Katakana:
-words for foreign origin.
-as for those chinese characters, if they are read in japanese pronounciation, Hiragana will be used; if they are read by following the actual Chinese phenetic signs (means in chinese pronounciation), Katakana will be used.

so, for the beginner, we have to learn all those basic writing in hiragana and katakana, just like abc in english...but, u have to know that there are only 26 alphabet in english...in japanese, hiragana+katakana= 226 'alphabet'!!! this havent include the kanji words...there sooooo many(actually i dunno how many, maybe thousands).....but, for the japanese, the hiragana and katakana's writing are the most important...kanji is second...this is because if they forgot these kanji's writing they can replace it with katakana's writing...note that the japanese only learn kanji's word when they are in secondary...so, they will know some of the basic's kanji...like their name...most of the japanese's name is written in kanji...some of them also use katakana....But NOT in hiragana....that's the thing that make me so 'lazy'.....memorize these new writing.... :(

but for us who is not the japanese, we learn the language using the romanized form...just like the first part of this article...eg: Hajimemashite in romanized form...then, write in hiragana...so, it means that, we, the foreigner, have to learn the romanized form and the hiragana's writing at the same time!!! then it's word order are different from the english languange...in english, the word order are subject-verb-object, whereas in japanese, itz's subject-object-verb....so, really, have to learn the basic thing, like grammar....

but on the other way, i find this language very interesting...the japanese's pronounciation are all the same tone, only some of it with a bit higher or longer tone...others are the same...then the way to make a sentence....in english, if it only use four words to make a sentence, but in japanese, it will use more then four words or lesser than four words...eg: i'm chong-watashi wa chong desu...see the difference? and the writings are very cute....for me, itz like drawing some symbols....hahaha.....

p.s: i hope to finish this b4 uni's intake...wish me luck..hahaha...thanx!!!

f1 in mas 6-8 april 2007

6, 7, 8 April- Formula 1 in Sepang International Circuit



Qualifying Session-7 april 2007

Parking sticker

Ticket before use

Finally, the race is gonna start!!!! n i really make my wish come true, dat is going to watch f1....went there on 8 april to watch the qualifying session...... the third practice session starts at 11am while the qualifying session starts at 2pm.....but my bros and i were there at 9am...have to b 'an early bird' so dat we can take the good place to watch the race...although it's a long hour to kill, but we brought along newspaper, magazines, books along...so, we were not sooo bored...the place where we sat was called 'hillstand', so u can imagine dat we were sitting on the grass....this place can see the cars go around the corner, coz itz exactly at the corner....besides that, we saw the planes took off!!! so, we waited for about 45 minutes, to watch the Porsche Carrera Cup's qualifying...itz a race by those driving in the Porsche's cars.....then at 11am, the f1 drivers went out for their final practice session.....

aeroplane taking off
helicopter flying around before the qualifying session

between the time after the practice seesion n b4 the qualifying, the track was inspected by the safety car....marshalls should b sweeping or cleaning the track to make sure the track is empty...either itz debris or rubbish....this is done to make sure that no accidents will occur during the qualifying...itz bcoz all the f1 cars r tooooo 'sensitive'...any small, little rubbish can make a f1 car which is 'flying' for almost 300km/h, turn upside down...then, the safety car will come around and check....n these marshalls will 'salute' the safety car, a sign to show everything is alright....

marshall make sure there are no debris/rubbish on the track

marshalls sweeping, cleaning the track b4 the practice n qualifying session
the medical car...

manitou standby...so that it can b used when accidents occured

the safety car...inspecting the track

these marshalls are waiting for the safety car to pass by

at 2pm, the qualifying sessions starts. the qualifying sessions is divided into 3 parts, where itz 15 minutes for part 1 n 2, and 20 minutes for part 3. there are all together 22 cars, so, the 6 slowest cars will b 'kick' out of the first n second qualifying...the 10 remaining cars will run as many laps as they can in the third session, but hav to produce the fastest lap to make sure he can grab the pole position. in short, who is the fastest, he will starts at number 1(pole position);the one who is the slowest among them, will start at last...basicly, the car will run faster when itz not feul loaded...so, in the third session, these 10 cars will go as many laps as they can to reduce the fuel to certain level..(tooo little of fuel will disqualified!!) to produce the fastest time....how do we know who got number 1? well, there is a tower which will show the number of the car...itz a tower where it list out all the drivers positions....well, the final session was very interesting....coz, u wouldnt know who's gonna grab the pole position immediately after the 20 minutes was over...coz the cars were still running....first, i was happy coz my favourite driver was num 1...then suddently, his num drop to second, then third...so, he will starts at number 3....this is wat i mean as ecxcited n interesting...u can actually fell ur heart pumping very quickly....screaming in excitment...this kind of feeling.....

so, the day ended as Felipe Massa grabbed the pole position, ahead of Fernando Alonso n Kimi Raikkonen.


Race day-8 april 2007

well, the race is schedule to start at 3pm, but i was there at 9.30 am, still, to find a good spot....2day's crowd is better then yesterday....n itz almost red here...there r many ferrari's supporter....n many Finland's flag, to support Kimi Raikkonen (he's a Finnish!!)....n yes, we still bring along newspaper 2day....12.25pm, the Porsche Carera race starts.....n finish at 1.15pm...n the track is closed for inspection, again....at about 1.30pm, our prime minister give a short speech at the mall area, we, who sit at the hillstand, can only watch through the big screen...afterwards, antique cars carrying our prime minister and the f1 drivers....the drivers parade starts...the drivers were seated in the antique cars which carry them around the circuit to meet the fans....so, i finally 'meet' my favourite driver, and other drivers....they waved at us n we also waved at them!!! after dat, national athem is played.....at 3pm sharp, the race starts....the starts of a race is very interesting coz any driver can hav the opportunity to overtake others...but i couldnt really see it...a bit disapointment.. :( i couldnt say much bout the race as i did not really watch the whole race (i only see when they are near to me), but i really enjoyed to be here, to feel the heat, to see every1 around me's reaction when the team they support win or lose.....the disadvantages of being here is dat i'm not soo sure who's leading or still got how many laps to go as i cannot see the tower clearly...the num dat i can see was 001, 002....other num couldnt c clearly coz most of them are alike...so, next time when i gonna come again, i should bring telescope...

the day ended, well, ok for me, although my favourite driver didnt get number 1....itz bcoz his engine also got some problem b4 the race....so, i guess number 3 is also good, better then number 4...the race won by Fernando Alonso, ahead of Lewis Hamilton n Kimi Raikkonen

6 weird things about me


i have been tagged by my friend, fadilah about this question...so, i guess i have to answer it....or else she might get upset with me!!! hahaha....


6 weird things about me:



1) i must wear socks while i'm sleeping, at night, of course. whether itz rainny day or a damn hot day, i must wear it. if not, i'm not going to sleep. well, i haven't try it whether i'm going to sleep or not if i didnt wear it. guess i might sleep, but mayb have to take a longer time! bcoz if i forget to get my socks when i change it (for hygiene purpose), i will definetly find a socks to wear although itz already late at night, say 1 or 2 am. so, whenever i went to stay at my grandparent's house or went for holiday, i will definetly bring along my socks...



2) every morning, the first thing that i do when i have clean myself, i will read the newspaper first. breakfast itz not my first thing, though. i dunno why i have this habit. my parents won't say much about mine habit as they had already knew my 'style'. but whenever my grandma (which is currently staying in singapore and will come to my house on holiday or on festive season) came here, she will surely scold me for reading paper rather than having breakfast first.




3) whenever i read the newspaper, mostly the star, i will definetly read from backward, whether itz main section or the section 2 part. i really dunno why. what i can say is, yes, i like sports, so i will read the sports' section first. but other section of the paper like section 2, i dont have the answer. dont ask me, ok??





4) i'm a gurl who loves sports very much, especially f1 and badminton. i watch soccer, tennis cycling, swimming, rally, (etc) (too much, i couldnt remember, but those i named it is those i watch most of the time!) too...but, of course, i didnt take part in any 1 of them. occasionaly, i play badminton and cycling with my brothers. and i really like to spend my money on magazines. but, i do not buy every edition of the magazines. i only bought it if there are things i like in it. most of my magazines are about f1 and entertaiment news. i wrapped up most of the magazines, especially magazines about f1 and those edition that i like. other magazine that i didnt wrapped up, i'll cut out those pix and article that i like and glued them in my file. and the left over magazines which has been cut out? i keep for 1 year...coz, sometimes i might read it again....after that, itz on the way to the recycle bin!!


5) mp3....important for me...last time i used walkman, disc man, but now i got mp3!!! although itz a bit outdated, but i think mp3 itz enough for me. i said itz important coz i like music very much and i put music as part of my life..no music, no life......whenever i'm driving or sitting in the car, radio must b on. so, if i sit in a car which the driver dont like music, i fell like soooo sick!!! but now, i got mp3. so, i bring them along when i went for a long journey (which, of course, i'm not the driver!!)...or when i have to go out with some1 who dont like music!!

6) i'm a gurl who dont like to wear skirts......long jeans or pants itz my favourite....dunno why, mayb when i was a kid, i used to wear pants. so, when i grew older, i got used to it...hahaha!!!

now, itz my time to tag my friend to do the same thing. she has to answer the same question just like i have done it. sorry, but i have to tag u, Norhannah Shahruddin!!

finally, the day had come.....actually i planned to go to watch the f1 testing which is open to every1 and is admission free on tuesday, the first day of the testing, which is on the 27th of mac, but, dunno why, i didnt go. wednesday, a day where i definetly couldnt go anywhere..(has to send my bro to tuition!!). so, thrusday is the only day where i can go to watch the testing....i felt really excited on the way to sepang, coz this is my first time to the circuit!! when i had just finished parking my car at the parking area, which is still quite far away from the circuit, i can hear the sound of the f1 cars, vrooming here and there!! this make me even more excited as this was my first time hearing those sound with my own ear!! (although itz the same sound that can be heard while watching f1 through tv channel, but it still feel different!!) so, my brothers and i walk pass another parking area, went through the main gate, and walk up a small hill....after walking for 10 minutes, we still cannot see the circuit....this make us more excited as we had already heard the vrooming sound for 10 minutes, but still couldnt see the track. so, u can imagine how big is the whole place! finally, we saw another gate...actually, we didnt know exactly where is the seated area, we just follow all those people who walk around us!! after we passed through the gate, we finally saw the seated area...still quite far away from us, though. at least, now we knew where to go!!

preparing for heikki to come out after rain

we went to the mall area where we were opposite the pit building ( a place where the f1 car come out from their paddock and where the crew change or refuelling the f1 car). this is the bestest place among others bcoz u can see the crews changing tyres or refuelling oil on the race day. other than that, this place is where the f1 races getting started and the podium is here also. but for these testing days, what the spectators can expect is just a glimpse of their favourite drivers, and see the teams test their respective cars. on these testing days, each team only can test on of their cars. so, if both of the drivers wanted to test drive, the car must b shared. well, i actually hope that i can hav a glimpse of my favourite driver, kimi raikkonen from ferrari. but, as he had test drive for the past 2 days, so itz his team mate's turn to test drive...i was very upset bout that... :( anyway, from the place where i sit, i can see the whole teams' paddock(a place where they keep their cars) and the very first corner of the circuit...

started raining....

unfortunately, it started to rain heavily. so, all the cars went into their paddock and we waited for about 35 minutes for the rain to stop. after the rain had stopped, only 3 teams, the ferrari, honda, and renault came out to do their testing..team toyota came out too but only test for 1 lap .there were no accidents occured during the afternoon session's testing although the track is wet...afterward, my brothers and i went to another part of the circuit, which is behind the mall area that we had left. on that place, we can actually see 5 corners all 2gether....i think this area is better than the previous area...unfortunately, the time for the testing is over...at 5pm...so, all the cars went back to their paddock....and my visit to this place also come to an end....a bit sad...as my 'mission' to see my favourite driver is certainly impossible....but, at least, i get to feel howz itz like to b in the circuit and feel the f1 heat...good experience for me!!

my brother, the f1 'cameraman'...

with my brother.....

so, the day end with lewis hamilton from mcLaren-mercedes as the pace setter, ahead of mark webber (red bull-racing), ralf schumacher (toyota), vitantonio liuzzi (toro rosso-ferrari), felipe massa (ferrari), nico rosberg (williams-toyota), jenson button (honda), anthony davidson (super aguri), nick heidfeld (bmw sauber) and heikki kovalainen (renault).
