A few weeks ago, I turned another year older.

You know how friends or family members sometimes playfully tease you on your birthday, just to highlight the fact that you're getting OLDer?  That's normal and there's no harm intended in the teasing.  ^^

I face this too.  In addition to that, I also face something almost in contrary to this matter.  *Ironic, ironic*  Those who aren't aware of my actual age, as well as those who already know me well, mostly do not believe me when I 'declare' how old I currently am.  From my past experiences so far, a lot of them usually guessed that I should be about 3, 4, or 5 years younger than my real age.  *Hey, they said so, okay. :3*

It's probably because of the combination of my petite figure, erm...babyface(?) look, and sometimes child-like personality.  LOL~  I don't  know...that's just my wild guess.

Anyway...
My point is, regardless of how we appear to look like, be it younger than our age or more matured than our age, it's sometimes out of our control.  Make-up, hairstyle, and fashion style can change that but they are all temporary.  You are who you are.  Remember that what's more important is what you have to offer, coming from within you - hardwork, sincerity, kindness, passion, etc.

So, be grateful of however you may look like (as long as it's presentable enough for specific occasions).  Focus more on your inner values.  Chewah~

On 승이 Day

Yesterday, September 3rd, was 장현승's birthday. We were born in the same year, so he's only a month and 10 days older than me. He used to have a Twitter account but it was deleted some time ago. So, fans just wished him happy birthday through the other BEAST members or CUBE.

I had to be on my way to my university campus to get several things done for the new semester. To tell you the truth, I never liked this part of being a university student because it can get really troublesome and frustrating sometimes. But it's necessary, so just suck it up.

MYB2UTY gave a few Raya envelopes as free gifts for preordering 'Midnight Sun' album.

I made use of the envelopes to keep the cash that I had to bring with me to pay for my fee.

I was then on my way to campus after two months not going there.

 As usual, I brought CDs with me for entertainment while driving.

This time, they were BEAST's 'Midnight Sun' and BTOB's 'Born to Beat' Asia Special Edition.

Woohoo...the CUBE boys~~

So, I arrived at the campus. I had to first pay for my semester fee at the Finance Unit.

It's located on the left side of the ground floor of the building in this picture below.

There weren't many students at the time I arrived.

Thank God! So I didn't have to wait too long for my turn.

For those who have never been to Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS),

let me tell you that the landscape is pretty eye-catching.

Plain water was given to me after I answered a survey by the management(?).

 At first, I thought of stopping by at a mall or a shop to buy things but I headed home instead.

I was starting to feel tired as I hadn't slept yet.

My head feels 'hanged' since I haven't properly slept yet and it's almost 6.00AM right now. So, I'll end this post soon. Come to think of it, some people have to stay up as part of their jobs. Artists are examples of this. In fact just a day ago, BEAST completed their 'Midnight' Japanese MV filming at around this time. I know they must have felt exhausted. Even 요섭, BEAST's main vocalist, tweeted about it. He mentioned that 막내 동운 was considerate enough to volunteer as the first and last one to shoot his parts. He's so dependable. They're working really hard. And they're the perfect definition of perseverance. If you know what they had gone through as well as how tough some days can be for them, you'll understand what I'm trying to say. That's why I'm such a fan and I always try to contribute in the supportive role of a fan. Plus, they're good at what they're doing.

Oh, that's right! BTOB will have its comeback this month! Yay! That's what Papa Hong stated. I'm so looking forward to it. Their talents are no joke and I want more people to see them perform their best.

Alright, have good days ahead!

Time to Step it Up. For Real!

Woah...it's becoming more and more real! I have only one year left before earning my bachelor degree! Hopefully, things will go well and I'll get to graduate as originally planned. I kind of gave myself a scare a few times before when thoughts that are similar to "What if I get tired of studying before I even get to graduate?" lingered in my mind. They're just thoughts, though. And they came several times only when I felt very very tired after sleepless nights due to assignments or revisions. I used to be very studious when I was younger. I'm thankful to God for giving me a good enough brain and willpower to have interest in academics since young because I believe that early stage education is crucial. But then again, I also believe that learning is a lifelong process. We never stop learning about so many things as long as we live. That's a good thing, definitely, because it keeps our minds sharp and functional.

It's getting more nerve-wrecking for me now that I'll be in my final year. It's not just the academics. Yes, academics is indubitably a vital portion but that alone is not enough if I want my days to be perpetually fruitful. This is about my future, after all. I don't always like to be all serious about things but it's necessary sometimes, right? Just don't add unnecessary stress. Stressful situations will come and go. We just need to be strong when they come and loosen up when they go away. Go with the flow, as some would say.

Alright, so the final year in university is probably the most crucial for everyone, right? True enough, there are some things that must not be taken lightly. I haven't gone through my final year yet but I have some ideas how it's going to be like. It won't be all glittery and glamorous (although I think that senior students deserve some of that >.<) because of these reasons:
1) We have two semesters left to either maintain or improve our cumulative grade point average (CGPA).
2) We need to give our best effort in completing our final year project (FYP).
3) We are required to go through an internship for a few months prior to our graduation ceremony.
4) We should be envisioning more vividly where we want ourselves to be as career individuals.
5) Let's face it. We've got to think about settling down and starting a family sooner or later. [If mom reads this, she'll nag something like "People these days are getting more modern and career-focus. You can think about getting married when you're over 30." Okay mom! I get that. I'm just listing out the things that we're getting closer to as we get another year older. It's not like I'm planning to get married right after I graduate. Unless 승이 puts aside his celebrity status and suddenly proposes. But do I have to be 30? I mean, I know I look younger than my age but....really?]
OMG I feel like a real adult! That's just....a little weird. A little.

A macro that I made to sum up how I'm feeling now

Alright, I'll write out my elaborations on the five items above.
-Item 1-
Semester by semester, I've been busting my butt off (*Not trying to sound inappropriate here by using a word that refers to a particular body part. It's a metaphor, okay? I know you'd get it.*) to get worthwhile results. Let me admit this - I could have done better. But I'm grateful that I didn't do so badly. Plus, I have this personal issue with perfection where perfection freaks me out a little bit, so a perfect set of grades might not suit me well. LOL.. I feel like I've put on mediocre effort a few times before. *Sigh* Frankly, my result for the 4th semester is the worst by far. >.< I promise to be more disciplined and motivated, okay? God, grant me patience and wisdom, alright? It's only going to get tougher but as the saying goes, "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going." Very true.

-Item 2-
Oh, FYP! I know it was created for the sake of the students but I would be lying if I said that it's not a burden at all. Just like in examinations or assignments, I don't like it when I get mediocre results. If I plan to do well, I should go all the way. Let's all do that! So...for my FYP, I had been thinking since the beginning of last semester. If possible, I would rather do a topic that's a little unconventional than typical Finance topics but it has to still be related to my major. That's just how I am. If there's a way to be different (in a good way), why not? Plus, I want to do something that's quite close to my own likings. Therefore, my proposed FYP topic is about Korean pop culture! And since Finance is my major, I chose to relate it to stock performances. Truthfully, I have some doubts every now and then on whether or not I'll be able to pull it off. It's not easy to make certain people get the significance of your own ideas and beliefs, you see. But this is part of it. If there are people who are skeptical about what you're doing, stand by what you believe in and try your best to convince them. Just try and try. That will make your experience so much more meaningful.

-Item 3-
Now.....I also need to think about internship. It's one of the requirements in order for us to successfully complete our degree but I don't want my internship to be just an internship. I can't predict how it's going to be but I want to somehow enjoy it, or part of it. Well, I'm the kind of person who can be a little bit of everything, so it might be harder for me to see what really clicks with me. Therefore, I need  to wisely choose from the options that I have and stick through it once I've made my decision. This is another thing that makes me feel a little anxious. Ahh...it must be the high-achiever side of me from the time I was younger. As much as I like to be carefree, I must not take this lightly.

-Item 4-
My career option would depend on the opportunities that I see at the time when I need to apply for a job. I don't know where I'll end up at but I hope I'll learn to like what I do and be very good at it. Taking chances can lead to greater outcomes but I must be reasonable too. So, we'll see.

-Item 5-
I'll leave this part to destiny for now.


25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
(Matthew 6:25-26)

Best wishes to everyone!
BTW, hello September!

Let's see...

It has been quite a while since the last time I posted an update in this blog.  In the period of my absence from Blogger/ Blogspot, there have been quite a few things that I wanted to post about but didn't.  *Ughh...laziness!*  In fact, I haven't been so up-to-date with some of my online networking sites as well.  So, I've decided to compile the online sites I'm (technically) still on, starting with the one I'm most active in lately (excluding Blogger).

#1
Facebook
http://www.facebook.com/priscillasiamantylors

I mostly log on to this site since many of my friends and relatives are on it too.  So, it's for the purpose of keeping in touch and informed about things that are happening around me.  I've shamelessly made use of my Facebook wall to promote the things that I love so much (i.e. K-pop, Japan, Dramas, Movies, Shopping, etc.).  Some might get sick of it but I can't stop.  Sorry!


#2
MYB2UTY
http://myb2uty.com/index.php?showuser=825

Have you ever heard of MYB2UTY?  It's pronounced as "my beauty", which represents Malaysian supporters of a K-pop group named BEAST.  In case you haven't known this yet, MYB2UTY is now an official global fan site approved by Cube Entertainment, the management agency for BEAST, 4Minute, G.Na, among others.  And in case you haven't known this also, I've been a part of the staff team since October 2010.  My forum name is OurB2utifulBoys and my Facebook Page admin name is Prisc.


#3
Twitter
https://twitter.com/#!/PreciousUandMe

Twitter is my speedy source of news and updates, particularly about entertainment.  It's also a place for me to feed my spazzing and spamming urges that I get from time to time.  Most of the people that I follow on Twitter are those I haven't met in real life.  That doesn't look wrong to me at all.


#4
Tumblr
http://howlovable.tumblr.com/

My Tumblr is mainly for the purpose of fangirling.  When I want to search for real-time photo updates on K-pop and J-pop, I go to Tumblr.  I feel bad, though, since I haven't been active on Tumblr lately.  Forgive me.


#5
YouTube
http://www.youtube.com/user/WhySoSweetYouCutie/

Like many of the people I know, I go to YouTube to watch uploaded videos, mostly music videos and  performances.  I rarely upload my own videos.  When I own a 3G phone or my own digital camera, I might upload more videos in the future.

A Gorgeously Maroon Evening

family, relatives, and friends took the time to attend a reception dinner that was held in a hotel's event room on the 20th.  it was the wedding reception for an uncle of mine.  the theme for that evening was maroon.  maroon's a chic colour, don't you think?  it's close to red, but more classy.  it's also close to pink, but richer.

each one of our family members had our own maroon outfit.  days before the dinner, i even jokingly said that we would be wearing our "uniforms" for that evening.  xD  oh..mom even bought new pairs of heels that have REALLY long and thin heels.  no joke!

we arrived at the venue of the dinner about an hour earlier than the first set of guests since there were some arrangements that needed to be done.  let me tell you a little secret.  i was a little cranky and agitated right before we departed.  you wanna know why?  my dress didn't perfectly fit me when i put it on.  i had to adjust it by using pins.  to make it worse, i had a very small amount of time to do that!  so, i was in a rush and might have cursed in the process.  -.-'  i even thought of Kang Gary's "stress~~!" tagline at that time.  xD  you know Kang Gary, a hip-hop singer from a South Korean duo unit named LeeSsang, and he's also a member of a game show called Running Man?  i eventually managed to suck it up and went on with the evening without much stress.  ^^v

when i saw the servers in their uniforms in the event room, i instantly thought of the time i was working part-time at Hilton hotel.  it made me smile for a while.  during the food presentation where the first course was brought out by the servers with background music being played, i automatically clapped and cheered.  my sister noticed and uttered "[translated] i know that you know how the waiters and waitresses feel (doing that job).".  :D

when the event ended and we were on our way to get out of the event room, i waited for the others by myself near a pillar with a mirror on it.  out of the blue, there was a guy who came to me, smiled, shook my hand, and bid "good night~ ♥".  after i said "good night" back, he walked away.  i didn't know who he was, still don't, but i have a rough idea on where he's from.

[note: i was a little hesitant about putting this in this blog post because i don't want anyone to misunderstand.  but i just thought that it was thoughtful and sweet, so i decided to put it here.  :) ]

congratulations, uncle and aunt!  may blessings and joy overflow your days forever~

We are Warriors, Fighting Our Own Battles.

life isn't easy, is it?  there may be moments when you slip through situations with ease, but there are also times when things seem a little too tough to handle.  "when the going gets tough, the tough gets going."  you've heard of this saying, haven't you?  so, let's hold on to it at times when challenges seem to be our faithful companions.  hard times come and go, but how we react to them is what matters more than the difficulties themselves.

problems may come to your door out of the blue, and people may annoy you (yes, this is sadly unavoidable).  just don't give in!  be strong inside.  you can't always make things go your way and you might not always meet pleasant people.  as long as you have the best intentions in whatever you do, you'll see better days ahead.

sometimes, you can't help but to feel down due to whatever reasons.  it's okay to feel a little down at times but don't stay down for long.  it's not worth it.  it's just not worth it.  God's right there watching over you.  He believes in you and knows that you're capable of going through each day.  keep asking for His guidance and blessing.  you'll be okay.  you're a warrior!

yup, it has been a crazy semester.

30-11-2011:

there was a blackout as i was diligently doing my assignment.  it turned out that the electricity cable at our house was too old and couldn't function anymore.  the workers from SESCO (Sarawak Electricity Supply Corporation) came over to change the cable.  everything went back to normal at 1:00 in the morning.  so, my work was delayed because of that.

まだ いきてる かな. . .

my level of endurance is really being tested.  the same thing goes to some of you too, perhaps. work, school, or life itself can get pretty exhausting.  sometimes, there's no easy way when it comes to dealing with those tiring things in our life.  just remember to breathe in and breathe out, okay?

anyhow, this is my side of the story... chewah.. xD

it's not so much a story.  in fact, it's not even close to being a story.  haha..  just a list of the tiring-but-inevitable things that i currently need to face.

(1) commuting to-and-fro for classes four days a week (the early morning traffic makes it =.='.)

(2) remembering yet-to-be-familiar theories and formula for core and elective subjects

(3) attending one more (darn) softskill class

(4) revising Japanese Language for the purpose of assessments, exam, and daily life (it gets tougher for each lesson.  i'm not kidding.  still, it's fun!)

(5) completing seemingly never-ending assignments, with more than just satisfactory outcomes
(6) going to substitute classes that are usually held in the evening

(7) mid-term exam!  the nearest one is in two days!!  God, pour us with Your blessings and inner strength.

じゃあ...まいにち がんばります!  あきらめないよね.

"whatever you say.. whatever you do.. there will be good times waiting for you.."  so, endure the hard times!

berakit-rakit ke hulu,

berenang-renang ke tepian,

bersakit-sakit dahulu,

bersenang-senang kemudian

ada paham?? ^^v

oh, if you have the time, listen to this song, 'A Bitter Day' by Hyuna, and G.Na, and Jun Hyung.  CUBE family!  one of the sad, gloomy, but brilliant songs that i kind of like.  :)  speaking of Jun Hyung (BEAST's main rapper), his laptop was stolen on his way back to South Korea from Spain.  kesian kan?

Coffee is My Friend

today i woke up a little later than other weekdays.  i just stayed at home, revising my Japanese.  nasib textbook Level 1 agik disimpan.  mun sik, ternganga jak time sensei ajar Level 2 kelak.  dah la besok ada kelas ya.  she asks questions in Japanese Language but occasionally explains in English or Malay Language.  tapi sik la nya guna ayat Bahasa Jepun nok tersangat tinggi levelnya.  gik dapat dipaham.  OK la ya nak? :D

so far, the classes that i've attended are Statistics for Economics and Business, Language and Society, and Japanese Language Level 2.  as mentioned before, i have my day off on Wednesdays (except for one of the coming Wednesdays, whereby i will have to attend a resume-writing class).  i find going to early morning classes rather refreshing, though i feel a little sleepy later in the afternoon.  the part that i hate is having to go through traffic jam on the way to campus.  jalan ke roundabout nok dekat skolah Chung Hwa no. 2 (sik tauk betul sik nombor ya) ya mala jak jam pagi pagi.  biasa la nak.  kadang-kadang lemah nyawa mala nekan brek ngan clutch.  tapi gerak brapa sentimeter jak pun ke depan.  dah 4 bulan sik guna jalan ya bah, jadi mok biasakan diri gik tok. :)

as known by many of my friends and family members, i'm a fan of K-pop.  almost any K-pop-related news or updates can make me feel excited.  you know 2AM?  this all-guy ballad group consists of 4 members.  they're in the same agency as 2PM, Wondergirls, and Miss A - JYP Entertainment.  a documentary/ musical movie about this group will be out in cinemas in Malaysia soon!  finally in Malaysia!  and it's in 3D!  it's called '2AM Show'.  i want to watch it!  when i checked the release date in Malaysia, it's October 13th!!

the movie poster by MBO Cinemas

oh..the title of this post is 'Coffee is My Friend', right?  it's just a statement, indicating that i NEED coffee to make myself less sleepy in order to fruitfully go through the day.

yes, i'm a coffee addict.  but it's just for days when i need to go to classes, or work, or any event.  take this morning as an example.  i didn't drink coffee since i didn't have to attend anything.  after having my lunch, i read my Japanese textbook.  after about an hour, i started to yawn every 3 minutes (lebih kurang la.  sik la cun cun.).  eventually, i gave in and took a nap on the couch. ya jak la. ^^


mok sambung membaca ngan mengulangkaji lok.  semoga hari besok dilalui dengan hati yang penuh kasih-sayang.  haha...ada kaitan ka?  besok packed aih.  tapi at least ada break 10AM-12PM.


by the way, i recently added a background music to my blog.  the song's 'Fiction' by BEAST.

Good Luck, Pris! And Happy Chuseok Day in Advance!

classes will commence tomorrow!  part of me feels hesitant to start this new semester, but another part tells me to suck it up and give it my best shot.  i've decided to agree with the latter part.  demi masa depan bah..  ^^v so, i'll be driving myself to campus every morning and drive back home later at noon or in the afternoon, depending on the day.  i'll be free from classes or activities on Wednesdays.  yay!  bersyukur la kan.

some of the things that are running through my mind right now are:
- "what should i wear on this first week of classes?  formal, semi-formal, or smart casual?"
- "must not forget to submit PK (pemindahan kredit for my Generic courses) form to faculty's office!"
- "where exactly are the locations of my classes?  which floor?  left or right?"
- "will i be able to make it through no matter how tough any of the classes may be?"
- "i can no longer enjoy sleeping in till almost noon since my classes start at 8 in the morning, for 4 days in a week. huhu.."
- "this isn't university-related but...i must remember to keep myself updated with the arrangements for MyB2UTY-Kuching's little get-together this coming Sunday. ^^"
- "oh ya...what am i going to have for lunch in between classes?"

whatever may happen, let's just もっと がんばる よ!


also, it will be Chuseok Day in Korea on September 12th this year.  that's tomorrow, right?  it's like Thanksgiving Day.  click on the hyperlinked words to know more about it. :)

 Happy Chuseok Day!

all the best, dear friends!  God bless~ ♥

just want to share my current desktop wallpaper ;) mengancam!

Please, no clashes~

i logged on to my university's e-student site again to re-organise my schedule for this new semester.  it seems that this semester will be my most packed semester so far.  i'm taking 2 elective courses this semester.  the ones i've registered for are Language and Society, and Japanese Language Level 2.  last semester, i took Japanese Language Level 1.  it was OK but the final exam was a little nerve-wracking to me, for one reason - there was this comprehension section, where a one-page (..almost) text was given, and we needed to read the text in order to answer some multiple choice questions.  the tricky part was that EVERYTHING was typed in Japanese writing (just hiragana and katakana, though).  for a non-native Japanese Language speaker/ reader like me, just reading the text could take quite a while.  reading all of the choices of answers (A, B, C, D) was another thing.  it was kind of fun, though. :)

dah..sik mok gik bingung2 pikir pasal jadual kelas tok. mudah2an sikda tukar nok drastik gilak. susah2 atur, tauk sik??! k la...serah kpd Tuhan jak...semoga pengajian semester baru tok berjalan dgn lancar.  mun ada halangan pun, bawa bertenang. ^^v

see? agak packed, kan?  apa2 pun, hadapi dgn senyuman...

dah la...adik ku dari tadik ngajak sambung nangga drama.  'Tatta Hitotsu no Koi (My Only Love)', starring Kamenashi Kazuya~  kelak post blog gik. ;)
