Exams against Life

----

Quote of the Day:

'Here is the test to find whether your mission on earth is finished. If you're alive, it isn't' - Richard Bach

----

They says, college/university life is the best phrase of life one will get. How true is this? I say not really. At least not mine. You judge for me will you?

Continues few weeks of sleepless nights, finally I manage to finish all the coursework including Trust assignment and Evidence's VIVA (FYI, oral exam).

So, what's next?

Will I get back all the sleep I missed?

NO!!!!

A month to exam and BAC prepared us a whole hell revision months by having revision classes from 10 to 3 everyday including weekends. Yes, such dedicated college huh.

And what's the consequences of having such a college life?

It stripped off all my social life. An obvious example, people get sick of asking me out for gathering or what sort, and my answer will always a big fat no due to heavy school work.

So lets say, its fine to sacrifice my social life for better future, college life did not only allow me to have a handful of new buddies, it also ripped off my old buddies away from me. Example, a kind of close, or either better to say, used to be, my close friend celebrating 21st Birthday, and I'm not invited because I've been forgotten after long period of not keeping in touch.

Okay, benefit of doubt, friends are endless assets, you will lose some but sooner or later gaining more. College life broke my bridge to the outside world. Due to constant heavy work load, I'm stuck in front of the computer more than books and news. There are a whole collection of books pending on my table but I just couldn't squeeze out my time to finish them. Worst, I slowly lost interest in reading books now, except for Law text book.

Yes, books are pass time activities. Fine. College life brings me bad health. I have no extra hour for my gym. I would rather spend that hour for my short nap to power up my energy level. Without sports and long hours of computers, I suffer headache more often than before. 

Health can be heal by vitamin shots. Fine. College life made my closet miserable. Without proper shopping, some of my cloths are faded and a handful of them does not goes well with others. The amount of my heels dying are faster then getting a new ones. My shoe count had deteriorate. 

To conclude, college life not the same again as compared to last year's. Last year, I had such carefree college life which I regret so much now. Just another 2 months and I will regain my life. People out there, NICHOLE WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF SCHOOL WORKS AND WILL BE BACK!!! BEWARE!!!

As for now, end my 10 minutes potty break and back to my revision.

I can do it!!! I can pass my finals!!! I will go to Aber!!! I will be a smart law scholar!!!

Love,

Nichole

Missing Someone

----

Movie of the Day:

Another Cinderella Story.

----

Your shadow appear again in my mind the moment I saw the old lady looking for a seat in the air-port that day. The minute the old lady were shoo off by the lady next to her for taking up her husband's seat, I have the same sympathy and sadness in me as the moment you left us. 

The moment I pack up and give the old lady my seat, I can sense the gladness in you when you know I grow up fine. The moment the old lady thanks me, I can hear you in her voice, as if you were the one saying 'thank you'.

The tired but yet caring eyes, will never be forgot.

The strong but kind voices, became the melody of memory.

Sometimes, I hope that you were here again. Not only you, but both of you.

I know, you both were watching me up above and giving me the best blessing. 

In the remembrance of my grand-parents.

Love,

Nichole

What I learn From BAC

----

Book of the Day:

Princess Masako by Ben Hills

----

As the time passed, I think back and did a simple calculation.

I've been attending my Law degree in BAC for about 6 months now.

The first few months is a big struggle for me. Different environment, different teaching method, different materials and the biggest difference is people.

The previous college I attended have better environment and admin system as compared, but as to people, I would say BAC has the better ones.

From what I've experienced, BAC people are all humble, including the first class honor couple who are doing their 2nd degree now. People there do not plot against each other. No rivalry. No showing off. They are all very helpful and very willing to share their knowledge. They told me what I should know about this college and the teaching method. They help me fit in. They help me through the tough time. And best of all, they do not have political attitude.

In the previous college, not sure if I ever mentioned, there's this girl in my class, very automatically, both of us don't like each other. We did nothing offensive to each other before. We just don't get along from the very first day. Perhaps we think we're the threat to each other.

However, in BAC, none of this situation occur. Instead, everyone seems so friendly and likable. I made friends super easily there. Even the backbenchers are all friendly, approachable and helpful.

Lecturers in BAC are just like friends to us. We have such close ties that we can talk about everything. They are so approachable that they even gave us their personal email address and mobile number so that we can ask them question anytime. They are all fair and equal. They do not dislike any student. They even smoke cigarette together with the students before and after class, and sometimes during break. Although I don't think this is what a lecturer should do. Those practicing lecturer will always fill us in with the latest interesting case. They discuss their opinion, openly, towards the country's current affair.  

The BAC people even think of me when they are dealing some universities confusion with the admin people. They helped me clear my doubt although I never told them my doubt; They include me in the uni's accommodation even without knowing that's my choice. They even called me all the way to Melbourne just to confirm my name so that they could fill in the accommodation preference just in case I missed out by the time I came back. They help me to catch up with my class whenever I absent from class. They are all super hardworking there. They do not get distracted when it is study time. We could discuss an issue and everyone get a chance to speak up and get heard. We share our opinion towards the principle. We help each other with their difficulties in studies. We are never stingy in sharing information or research we got for our assignment. We all get along so well like as if we had know each other for years. This types of friendship development, is my first time experience. Really.

I get the respect a classmate should have there. I get the attention that I've always craving for. I get to battle together with all these BAC people for our final year in KL. 

And soon, I will have plenty friends in Aberystwyth since 80% of the BAC people going there. They even want me to be their housemate. This is the first time I did not do the first step of approaching but they did.

With different places, I get to see different people. And different people, I get to understand different behavior. This is what I call Life experience. Something money can't buy.

Love,

Nichole 

  

Song of the Week: Amiga Fiel

From what he told me, it's a Latin song, but I'm not sure.

I find it very nice and pleasant listening, so I thought of introducing it here.

Enjoy.

Freedom and Responsibility

----

Incident of the Day:

I eye witness, if I'm not wrong, a case of theft again. I was out to grab myself some lunch. I drive pass this 2 men, one on the motorcycle and the other looking around sneakily while opening the back passenger door of a Kenari. The moment my car drive pass, slowly, due to the condition of the road, they both stop doing what they are doing and staring at my Suzuki 4WD. After I drove pass them, from the rare mirror, I saw the man went in the car, grabbing something underneath the front passenger seat. At first I give no though. But it strike me that usually there's where we people, who think we're smart, kept our bag while we're away from the car. After I bough my lunch, I drove pass the same crime scene again, both men had drove off. Not far from the restaurant, there the two men stood. I have no idea is it me being too sensitive that a crime had been committed or they are just getting something from their vehicle. I am not sure with the whole situation. But, they do look suspicious to me.

----

I am back home to KL.

BUT!!!

Both parents and LM still in Melbourne. Yes, I have all the freedom I got and all the power.

Wise man said, everything come with a price. Getting all the freedom comes responsibility. 

During the day, I need to make sure I collect the mail, do the grocery and prepare my own meal. During the night, I have to securely lock all the doors and windows, off all the lights and be a light sleeper. 

I hardly get proper long night sleep as both my dogs barking non-stop, in my room, at the moving tree brunches. When I finally doze off during the dawn, Yuki jump up to my bed, start chewing my stuff and leaving me a whole face of saliva just to wake me up, so that I can bring her down for her breakfast and pee. I only manage to sleep after 6am and forced to climb out of the bed at 10am for class. Poor me. The ever over active Baby, is a nuisance to me. She barked constantly at everything and anything. She scratches me and pulling out the wall paper just to seek some attention.

I got so scared and worried over the pass few days. And finally, today I received a sms from mom saying that they'll be home today. SUCH A RELIEVE!! 

I can go back to care free again. Although I will need to sacrifice freedom. But, I am happy with this trade. At least I don't have to worry about locking the door and entertain Baby.

Picture will be up soon.

And, exams near, wont be updating as often.

Till then, C ya!!

Love,

Nichole
