Review Year 2 Semester 2 Life

I chose the harder road. I took five subjects in this semester, so I will able to finish all 3 years subjects within the stated period. Company Law, Research Method, Human Resource Management, Operational Management and the additional subject, Managerial Economics. It was pretty challenging because I was not good in time management.

Nevertheless, I manage to finish all these subjects with a predictably best result in my university life. Too confident? The result will be revealed soon on 17 January 2014. It believe that it will be my happiest ‘result-reveal’ day. Inter alia (means ‘other than that'), I enjoyed my incredible timetable for this semester. At the end of semester, it proved that my decision was correct. Thanks for the help from lecturer.

I learned a lot when I was finishing all the assignments. The weight of assignment on the shoulder was getting heavier and some of the results did not equal to our hard work. We accepted the results because as long as we tried our best, results were just something that showing whether we reached the expectation of lecturer. Indeed, we felt our improvement in term of personality, attitude and maturity. That is the more important thing than result.

TME for SUTC 35th meeting 2013-2014

Table Topic Evaluator for SUTC 36th Meeting

Delivering my CC#6_'My National Hero' in Puchong Toastmaster Club

Best Speaker for the first time (CC#5_Left or Right)

Other than academy side, I am happy with my progress in Toastmaster. I’ve already done six speeches and it is four more left to claim the award of ‘Competent Comminicator’ (a.k.a. CC, the first award after clear the first 10 speeches). In addition, I am walking out of my comfort zone as I keep challenging myself in the leadership. For example, I had held the position of Toastmaster of the Evening, Table Topic master, Table Topic Evaluator and Speech Evaluator. I still not dare to become a grammarian because the poorness of my English is simply not reaching the standard yet. I knew that I should do it to get more experience but I want to do it well for the first time, as people and I have a certain level of expectation to my performance. I will try more table topic at next year because it is a good platform to improve the speed of thinking and speaking spontaneously.

I was the president of Sunway CIS-ECA Scholarship Group, however, the group did not exist anymore. It is because of numerous reasons and I am not going to reveal it. There were many good memories among us, and we have organized successful event such as Reading Bus event, cycling event, appreciation dinner. The mixed feeling after every event was hard to describe in words because it was the combination of happy and sad. We felt sad when we were going to separate and leaving each other. Frankly, I was disappointing to myself. I knew this is a stage of learning but I simply can’t accept that I was that weak in leading a club and organizing event. Yes, everyone is saying that I have the quality to be a good leader, but I hope there is someone to guide or lead me to improve myself more because sometimes I really felt helpless. I need someone to push me. I need some new motivators to gain the confidence of a leader. I will find a way of it. I will.

There were some events with friends at this year. We went for the Scary Night at Sunway Lagoon on Halloween, ‘killing zombie’, birthday celebration of Khye Yang in Vivatel, surprised and unexpected birthday celebration with Ben, and no other than the MOST EXPENSIVE & ENJOYABLE SUBS GRANDBALL. There were still a lot of memories that I could not write in words because there was a lot of event! I am glad to have you guys be my friend. Really appreciate it. My university life will not be this colorful without you all. 

Overall, I look for a better year 3 life! My last year, my last chapter in University

Here are some links and picture for awesome events in Year 2.

2013 Toastmaster Semi-annual Convention in Ipoh

It was an AWESOME trip. My first ever trip with toastmasters in this 3 days 2 nights trip. Crazy Sunway Uni Toastmaster members had organized a meeting in train while traveling to Ipoh from KL Sentral!

Project Speech Evaluator on Train

It is also my first timer to be an evaluator for project speech. I was appointed as table topic evaluator at first because I just did the same role at two days back. I decided to change to speech project evaluator because I want to challenge myself and walk out my comfort zone. The meeting was running smoothly and everyone enjoyed for this meeting. We got praises from other toastmasters because we did some meeting that beyond their expectation! I think we can take all the praises into our account because we deserved it!

After a nearly 90 minutes meeting with passed by three state, which are Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur of Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Perak, we reached our hotel, Kinta Riverfront Hotel & Suites. We were here to support Mirosha in the National Level Humorous Speech contest, ‘claim’ our reward of President Distinguished Club and experienced the atmosphere of toastmaster convention!

Gala Night_ SUTC FULL HOUSE !!

Indeed, it strengthened the relationship of members and expanded our view to the level of toastmaster over the country.  The convention was actually 2 days 1 night, and we stayed at Ipoh for one more night because it was too late for us to return Sunway at night. Gala night and Hawker Night & Ceremony were organized respectively for the first two days. All of Sunway University Toastmaster members joined the flash mob and we did a very good job! People in the hall were enjoying our performances and the atmosphere was awesome! It is definitely a memorable nights for all of us!

After the Hawker night, we went back to room and watch 'The Conjuring'!

Although this was my second time to watch this movie, I still enjoy the effect of the movie! It was simply awesome! I closed my eyes after the movie and when I opened my eyes again, we were going to leave the hotel. See you next time, Ipoh!
