"At least I'm standing up here, you're sitting down there"

BorneoColours.com Borneo Bloggers Awards
So, I haven't really been updating my blog these few days...The last time I post new entry was on 15th January which is like more than 10 days ago =.="
Here's the thing:
I was running for the Student Representative Council (SRC) or known as Majlis Perwakilan Pelajar (MPP). 
Big stuff huh? cuz it involve campaign and stuff...lobbying and all that...Only God knows how I felt those few days before the election and even before the 'Rapat Umum".

We were being quarantine at Beringgis Beach Resort in Papar...not bad though...although I do have some things to propose to the resort:

  1. perhaps provide some complimentary cookie as well in the room....I wanna munch something.
  2. Provide face towel Please~
  3. Fix the water heater...I was using the water heater to the max in the morning but I still feel very cold because it's not working!
  4. Wireless in the lobby only? hurm~ I wonder what others have to say about that
  5. The air-conditioning in the seminar room is not working...It was freakin' hot! Fix it please!
Ok...that was about it....overall I'm satisfy...as what I always expected for a resort :)

Ok, talk about the "Seminar Pemantapan Calon JPP 2010/2011...
Too bad I didn't make it as the MPP this time...and sadly to announce that this is my first and last time I ever try out for MPP as this year might be my final year in the campus as I am going for my Industrial Training early next year....Time passes by slowly eh?~

Anyway...the reason that I trying out for this MPP thingy is mostly because:
"This is part of my to-do list in my life"
The other reason...well, let it remain within me and my calon MPP friends :)

Too bad...I didn't make it through...it was a tough competition...It was me against other program i.e: Diploma in Banking, Diploma in Business Study, and Bachelor Degree Economics candidates. This time around, we were going with the system whereby candidates of the same faculty will have to go against each other...it was tough....out of 10 candidates from my faculty, there's only 2 seats available in the council for my faculty...
It was heart breaker that I didn't make it...but...I know...there's blessing in disguise...maybe it's not my time yet....for my time will come someday in the future~ 
"If it was not destined to me now, it doesn't mean that I'm not gonna get it forever...I WILL MAKE IT! :)"
So, that was it...I may not make it as the Student Representative Council...but hey:

  1.  I still hold the position of a Peers Mentors~ and I got paid for that :P 
  2. I still held the position as the President of English Debate Club (ECHOES Club) and we can go anywhere for debate tourney~
  3. Welfare officer for BBA (Marketing) Club
  4. Treasury for Mandarin's Nite Dinner
So, What more can I say...I am in the training ground to become a better leader in the future...May Allah lead me to the right way and may I always be blessed...Amin~

P/s: Back to the normal student life with value-added as a debater~ :D

THE 5th GREAT SERDANG DEBATE (GSD) 2009 Post~

This very particular debate tourney has been postponed since last august due to many reason i.e: H1N1 and stuff like that. So obviously, we received the invite letter way back few months ago and I have been back and forth to HEP to deal with this thing so that we will be able to attend it and no last minute preparation.
But then, I was informed by this 1 officer from the our student’s affair division that we may not be able to attend this cause the officer with the higher power of deciding whether we can go or not seem hesitant and most likely not approving our interest attending this. So I was a bit disappointed with that and had to live with the fact and still carry on with the preparation of the other tourney right after GSD.
But a few days before we actually flew for GSD, then only I was informed by an officer from HEP regarding GSD. It has been approved and our flight ticket will be confirmed as soon as possible due to the time constraint and it is only a few days before the date that we actually need to fly for GSD.
anyway, skip that part...
We flew from KKIA at about 5.30pm on 3rd of December...our flight was suppose to be at 3.15pm. But then it was been cancelled and change to different flight and we only find out about it as we get to the airport...Damn!
But anyhow, we got free meal *the one for the delayed flight meal*

*Some of what we did during the delayed flight*

To spice up a little, we actually almost missed our flight!!! because the gate suddenly change without us being informed...but thankfully we didn't miss it because if we really do miss it, we surely have to fork-out our own money and pay extra to get on the next plane...
So, after the 2 hours and 40 minutes flight, finally we arrive in KLIA...claim our luggage and head off to the meeting point where Anthony's people (Convener for GSD) are waiting for us...we took some pictures and head off to UPM Serdang.

As soon as we arrive, we get our room, put our stuff in the room and head for dinner and stuff like that...nothing much that we did that nite...well, we were pretty tired as well...so, we kinda sleep early.

So the next day...we all went out after the registration and stuff...the rest stick to their shopping plan, while i went out to see my friend and watch Twilight Saga: New Moon at MidValley.








*some of the pic the day we all went out*

Then come to the day that the debate start...well...all ok...Azel and I were almost been rank as no.2 for each of the prelims round >_<



*Waiting for the next round*



*waiting for the next round - I know I'm cute :P*

And the next day~
