Birthday Bash 08

Its the big 21 finally!

You have no idea how many gazillion times to be labeled as OLD. Besides "eh...ur old enough to vote!" and "Lets go to Uncle Lim's place now"

16th february 2007

Since alot been asking how am i gonna celebrate, a house party seems like the wise choice. Unless I'm loaded enough to have it in a club. Which obviously, didnt happen.

Here are the pics. Sorry bout the low quantity, didnt have much time go around taking it :P
Half of the pics are courtesy of Pui San's Sony HD digital cam. Coz its always better than a cam phone

Cave man discovered fire and discovered that according to Malaysian timing, no one will be punctual

Woohoo, chocolate indulgence! Until the guys smack my face on the surface of it :S

The BB crowd

Assunta crowd

UKM erm...people! Coursemates :)

and lastly, my family!

A BIG THANK YOU FOR THOSE WHO WISHED ME AND CAME FOR THE PARTY! :)

...for those who wished me whether through the phone, msn, frenster, facebook, postal, pigeon, telegram, sky writing or whatever the method was

Allow me to 'accurately' describe my lecturers :)

(Marketing)
She's one of those typical aunty-like lecturers. We're suppose to be having a different lect, but for some reason, she became the temp and looks like its goin to stay this way till end of the sem.
Actual teaching method: Present the slides with very very brief points, refer to the Thomson textbook, direct translate it. With all the hesitation and messed up Bm sentence structure, i'm damn sure she was direct translating. I was trailing the text in book anyway. lol
Pros: Comes in bout 15 mins late (yes, this is a plus point. i need time to settle down k), no tutorials so far
Cons: Bahasa Melayu For Marketing class, repeating the exact stuffs from the textbook
Duration of class: ~2 hours 15 mins, with 20 mins break and coming in late bout 15 mins

(Maths II)
Personally one of my favourite lecturers, i took her class for Maths I as well. She really got the patience to go slowly go thru the syllabus...UNTIL the point where we left 2 weeks to finish off 2 topics before finals. hehe. But it might be a little draggy, if u have taken add maths and form 6 maths as we're back to basics then off to some alienated method of solving an equation.
Pros: Laid-back teaching, dismiss us early half of the time :)
Cons: Out of the blues, she will stick a notice at the lecture hall's front door to notice us bout the cancellation of class, darn lot of notes to be printed out. One topic could consist of 35 pages, we have around 10 topics i think :P
Duration of class: May vary from time to time. But short breaks, bout 5 mins

(Macroeconomy II)
Gawd, spare my life. If you(the lecturer) wish to kill me, please make it fast and painless.
I got her as lecturer for Macro I and out of the random, i choose the class for Macro II and STILL her. Probability: 1/4.
First of all, no one can understand what the heck is she teaching. She's a professor madya, means she will give nothin but philosophies no one will ever understand. She will talk and talk and talk and talk for goddamn 3 hours straight.
"Eh, sudah pukul 5? Masa berlalu agak pantas semasa kelas ya?"
I couldnt agree more, 2 mins felt like eternity.
Now during her class, half will be doing their own work, quarter will be reading books/newspaper,quarter will be talking and a few will be sleeping. Impressive. Not even a 4.0 student could understand her lesson
Cons: I'm alive during her class
Pros: Lenient in marking our exam papers, don't care if we are payin attention or not
Duration of class: 3 hours. break? what break? She's already sayin her classes are short enough

(Stats For Econs II)
The only chinese dude lecturer we ever have. At first, i was picturing this cranky middle age chinese man. But there came this man in his 30's. When he on his laptop, I saw his msn add and realise he's only 28 years old. Lol.
An important fact bout him. He never look directly at the students/class b4. He will explain somethin on the white board, turn his head around and look up at the ceiling while continue explaining. Haha.
Pros: Very detailed teaching, his strictness did forced us to study well
Cons: The terminator, he never stops teaching. Comes in at 8.05am, dismiss us at 10.55am. Will kill us with his tutorial questions sooner or later
Duration of class: Lets make it 3 hours flat, coz thats what u'll feel in my position. Break, when he said take 5, he really meant 300 secs on the dot.

(Accounting)
He's the real definition of a good lecturer. His teaching methods are impressive where he uses different approach for our understanding. Not to forget he crack stupid jokes sometimes. I think the reason why he's so laid back and relaxed during our class is because there's only 14 of us. Lol. Most of the other econs students took this subject during 1st sem.
Pros: Good class,'nuff said
Cons: Loves to cancel classes. So now we are left with 4 classes(equals to 12 hours total) which needed to be replace soon :(
Duration of class: Bout 2 hours

(Hubungan Etnik)
Probability: 1/8. I think u can see what i'm tryin to say this time. Yes, there was this Tamadun Islam dan Asia subject last sem. And there I go again, SAME LECTURER for this subject. Looks like those religious malay man with a goatee. Yeah, its not a very pleasant look. lol.
His classes are very short and time wasting. Spent 3 classes to explain to us bout our presentation. But i dont mind, since we dont need to be stressing on listening to any strict classroom lessons
Pros: Early class dismissal!
Cons: Yong sui. LOL
Duration of class: 1 hour

(Public Relation II)
Same old story, took back the same lecturer from part 1. Since he's easy goin, lazy and quite 'cincai'. lol. I heard the other lecturer was strict as hell. Wise choice miux, wise choice. haha.
I'm sure alot been wondering what the heck i learn in PR. Its everything u need to know when u work in the service sector, especially in government offices. Etiquettes, press conference, counter service and crap like such. lol, Anyway its better than taking those sports 'subjects'. Where u need to learn BOTH theory and practical.
Pros: Harmless class, no mental torture or whatsoever.
Cons: Wakin up early on Saturday mornings! geezz
Duration of class: 1 hour 40 mins including breaks.
