Facebook Addiction Disorder

Looks like I've abandoned my blog for pretty long. Heck~ Not just me. Practically, everyone who is on their third year or final year is doing so. *making excuse* XD

My first final paper is on this coming Wednesday and I haven't start revising for that paper yet and barely finish reading for next week's. I think I lost a screw somewhere.. >_<"

All blame FACEBOOK! *blame self-control!* Last time I checked, Facebook holds over like 120million users? And I'm one of them! and also all of my friends. It's almost 5 times the population of Malaysian! How's that? Not a shocking fact actually..

Recently, I heard a news saying about how a wife got kicked out of the house by the husband who claimed that her wife often wakes up in the midnight to harvest her crops in a Facebook game. This is not unbelievable to me as I've seen these symptoms before somewhere. So, I browsed around to find some information regarding Facebook and I stumbled to a new disorder called Facebook Addiction Disorder.

Oh man.. I think I'm having the symptoms.. I can quit but my Happy Farm! My Friends for Sale! *got dragged away*

See you guys in two to three weeks time! After the finals I mean... *crickets' sound*

Awww shrugs! No one's around.. T_T

P/s: Those italic blue-colored text is by my alter ego.. muahaha~

Craving for Bing! Coffee

After rejuvination for a whole week, lectures start again..

Walao eh... This week has been a hectic week for me. I only had 4 hours average of sleep everyday. Slept at 3:00am then woke up around 7:00am in a startled condition, fearing I might be late for my 7:30am lecture. Sometimes, I had to kept my eyes wide awake starting from the first lecture. Sometimes, my energy lasted til the 11:00am lectures where I started yawning really hard and gave my lecture the dull look on her presentation (mind that I sit in front of the class; sitting straight and absorbing all the presentations in that state of mind was not easy for me).

Funniest thing happened on Tuesday or was it Wednesday? It was the 11:00am lecture and Dr. Rahmah came in for her lecture as usual. 30 minutes after, I started yawning and gave her the dull look AGAIN.. Then, she started to comment about pyschological interpretation that she knows who is paying attention and who's not. I thought I was getting the hint from her that I'm not paying attention (and it's already not easy for me to stay focus). When I turned around, I saw most of my coursemates were yawning and having teary eyes due to the yawning.. I guess that hint goes to everyone, not just me.. Imagine the whole class yawning..

Hopefully, next week would be the last week for assignments to torture me and the rest of my coursemates as all projects, assignments and reports are to due next week. Will rejunivate during this weekend and rush some of the assignments to evade burning midnight oil again.. Cause last night, I caused my roomie to move to another room to sleep just because I was awake with me group members finishing on an assignment. Gomen, Christine.. You can torture me by playing the piano loudly for the next two weeks... ^_^"

Oh.. relaxation started this afternoon actually where we massively went to Sya's house for lunch in celebration for Raya. Everyone.. wait.. well most of us were there just to take that one-day-away-from-assignment moments. Lovely lunch indeed. :)

Tomorrow, it's the Mooncake Festival. Going for steamboat with my coursemates. I don't like the eating part but I just can't miss the excitement waiting for me then. I'm that type of person who will try not to miss any exciting events with friends.. LOL..

Arggghhh!! When can I reduce my weight then? I'm so going on rice and meat strike after this! X3 but craving for mocha with caramel at the moment! I want to go to Bing! Coffee... XD

The Big Ka-BOOM!

A big bang happened in the house! Calm down guys.. It's not a bomb. It's my mom's 13 years old dining table letting go of its last breath.. That gigantice dining table finally takes its last toll and broke down. Mom and I had to un-attach its parts to make it easier to get rid of it.

It happened when we were doing house cleaning from top to bottom.. Sigh, looks like we need to go hunting for a new one.

Rest in peace, my precious dining table. You have served our family well over these years. X3

Second Phase Practicum

This morning was my last day of practicum. Half of me was like "Whaa.. can't wait for the time to scram" and the other half was going "Going to miss here.. Thiam, going back to 7am-4pm schedule of lectures again.."

My second phase practicum was completed in SK Tambay, a very small school with average of 15 to 22 pupils in a class. It's a pretty laid back school where all the teachers are very friendly and warm as well as the staff there ranging from the cooks, clerks, security guards and cleaner. My session with the pupils was around 5 hours a week excluding all the other teach-ins that I might have to take. I taught Year 4 Mathematics and Phys. Ed.

So, this morning was my last day. I bought some gifts to 17 'Denise the Menace' in my class. Well, not all are menace but most of them are. =_=" I had my last lesson before the recess and after the recess, we had a short assembly. After the short assembly, I was planning to pack my stuff and getting myself ready to go back when the class monitor of Year 4 pulled me to the class, claiming that they were crying in the class. Indeed they were...

Being a very cold-hearted teacher.. acclaimed my practicum partner for me not crying when I saw them cry, I just felt weird thinking the whole time, I kept on lecturing them on finishing their homework and punishing them whenever they make noise and being naughty during my lesson. So how in hell would they miss me??

It was like 16 broken pipes in the class! Even the naughiest boy whom I punished almost every lesson. Gosh~ I had to retain myself for quite a while just to comfort all of them and when I started waving goodbye to them, they all cried back!!

In the end, a teacher asked me to ignore them and walk away or else I could not leave the class. I did that and after packing my stuff and bringing it all to my car, there they were! All 17! Crying on my car! Aiyoyo~ Some of the girls even pull my clothes asking me not to go.. but what can be done? Every journey has its end.

Anyhow, feeling pretty tired atm. Symptoms of flu are appearing.. and holiday's around the corner. Going to zz soon so logging off..

Wake Up People!

OMG! The weather these days are so so so hot! I felt like bringing an air-cond everywhere I go but I can't do that. I taught Physical Education and some of my students barely can stand the weather. It's hazy, hot and humid. I even bathed like 4 to 5 times a day than the frequent 3. =_="

What bugs me is that the villagers along the Kota Samarahan and Asajaya district (I'm not sure whether it's a district or not) kept on burning their fields despite the hot weather. It's making the air so polluted and hazy. Ashes sticking on the car and clothes too.

Last Friday on my way back to Kuching, a forest was burnt down and fire fighters had to go and put the fire out using water from the drain cause there are no fire hydrant nearby. The fire was pretty big and near the main road. Hope that after this, they learn not to burn their fields recklessly.

El Nino is coming indeed. I saw today's newspaper and there's a typhoon heading to Borneo! Gosh~ No wonder there was not even a single rain for the past two months. The rivers in rural areas are beginning to dry up.

All I can say is that this is not the work of God or Mother Nature but man alone. Human did this to Earth and we are paying for it. This means every single two legged mammals that are reading this and even me when are typing it down. I guess we got to realize how big one single person can affect the world. No more of the excuse of "I am just one human, what can I do".

So, guys! Please save Earth anyhow you can. Recycle, car pooling, whatever it takes that can contribute even the least.

Moving

The four of us officially moved in a rental house which is about ten to fifteen minutes drive from the school I'm having my practical in.

We moved on Tuesday afternoon. Some of us, including me being the 'clean-addict', we started cleaning the place up. Sweeping, wiping, mopping, washing, brushing, arranging, throwing out the rubbish and etc. A housemate works on the kitchen while for me, the toilet and the bathroom. =_=

By the time we finished cleaning everywhere, it's about 8pm! And gosh, we haven't started out daily lesson plan yet. Luckily managed to finish it and got a few hours of beauty sleep before going to school the next day. The funny thing was I was so sleepy that my lesson plan got so many typo error. XP

This week was a pretty busy week. The house is a nice place to live in although it's a bit rundown. What's killing my back is the bed. Need to buy a better mattress or I'll be like an old lady by the time I finish my practicum.

Oh ya, do you know where do the villagers throw their rubbish everyday? We were quite curious on how to manage our rubbish as there were no rubbish bin in sight. So, we went on to ask a villager living nearby. According to the makcik, the rubbish truck only comes twice a week that is on Tuesday and Saturday. Hence, they throw their rubbish into the river. I was like THE RIVER???!!! Gosh~ I can't do that. The river is God's creation. Making it dirty means that I'm ruining His creation. Furthermore, the river is so beautiful.

Lastly, we ended up putting our rubbish outside the house to avoid attracting ants. Guess what? Next morning, it was gone. Now thinking of it, someone must had helped us throw it into the river.. NoOoooOoo...
