~My Mom's Days~

Well my mom was admitted in a private hospital on last monday at Tawakal Hospital.It was because she had some sort of heart problem.So right after class on Monday which is EAP class , I went to stay with my mom and watch over her there.I stayed with her there until Saturday.She went through several treatments which is a ECHO examination, scope, ECG, and a angiogram which is all related to the heart.An Echo is some sort of instrument that they insert through the mouth or other places to see something connecting the heart.An ECG to test the heart beat and so on.Last but not least they did an angiogram to see whether there were any blocks in my mom's heart.If there is any blocks they will blast it and replace it with something called angioplasty or do a bypass if there's too much blocks.Luckily my mom only had a small block in her heart and we found out that her real problem is her uncontrolled or poor looked after diabetic level which is causing the pain in her heart.It sort of slows down her heart beat and she also had lots of water in her lungs which causes her inability to breathe at night.The doctor was amazing and told us about my mom's medical condition in detail.Well, after all the treatment my mom is much better now and that makes me feel a whole lot better too.The doctor was also kind enough to give my mom one week leave and a letter for light work because of her heart condition.Since my mom works as a police officer, her work is really hectic and tiring so luckily the doctor gave her that letter.She has an appointment with the doctor this week on Friday for her regular check-up.Well that's all for now.

"Mid term break"

Well my mid term break starts next week on friday if I'm not mistaken but we I don't have class on thursday so Iwill be going back on wednesday.My break will be for approximately 12 days and I'm very happy and excited.At last I could relax from studying and doing assignments every week.My mom's going to be admitted tomorrow at a hospital for check-up.She might stay there for about 3 days and if anything comes up during the check-up, she might have to do an operation.I hope she doesn't have to go through and operation and will be just fine with normal medication.I'm worried but I have to go class this week, if anything happens I'll go back and see her immediately.I hope my mom will be fine and the days past fast.After class on wednesday, I'll go back to rawang and spend time with my family and also study for the upcoming exams.It's already week 9 and only about 5 weeks to go before finishing this long semester.Time sure flies fast and that's about it for today.

>Foreign People's English<

I'm writing a blog now because I wanted to write it down quick, so I would not forget it later when I'm thinking of a topic to wrote in my blog.I and veena was just walking home from management class and we bumped into a foreigner on our way.We simply used the long way this time to find out better ways or in case we ever got lost we could find our way home.This foreigner if I 'm not mistaken looks like she's from one of the arabic countries and can't find her way around.She asked us in her dialect "how to go to Ampang Park with bus?'.We told her she could take the train there or taxi which is easier.But instead of that fact, she told us she knows how to go to Ampang Park with train but not with bus.She wants to learn another sort of transportation to go to Ampang Park.We were amazed by her endurance and perseverance ability and wanting to know more about different transportations to go to her destination.At last we told her we're not sure and she went on asking someone else.There we were trying to find an easier way to walk home, yet this foreign lady is working hard on getting adequate information on transportation to reach her destination.We realized our mistake and I decided to sort of follow in her steps.We also have to learn to understand foreign people's English as it varies from countries as their dialect is different.Luckily I and veena understood what she was trying so hard to say, as she seemed a little scared to ask us about Ampang Park.In 3 years time when we go to US, we have to do the same which is understand and give feedback to them as it shows our understanding in what they are saying.Even if it is slightly different, we have to try as it will help us later. That's all, thank you.

Today's class.....

Well today we had EAP class ,and we were learning ways to write for our audience.It seems that we must always write our essays or any written activity to be presented effectively to our audience.For example, in our essays our audience are our lecturers.Any tasks that are given by them in a written form has to be written in order for them to understand what we are saying.I didn't know that this was such an important key in writing essays.It has to be clear, explicit and the information must be adequate.When all of this information add up, it becomes a excellent essay and naturally ends up with great marks.Next time I write an essay, I will bear my audience in mind and write for them so they could understand my essay even better.I'm actually planning to write a story book later in years to come.It has been my long term dream to produce my own story book.Later when I decide to start working on my story book, I will remember my target audience for sure.I haven't decided on the title or the story line yet but i I hope to start on it when I have completed my degree.I have read many story and literary books since I was young and I hope to use those words I've learned in my future story book.Another activity we did in EAP class was doing grammar questions online.It was tough alright,and by doing those questions ,I learned that I still have much to improve in the english language grammar.I will try my best to improve on my grammar and hopefully the book I plan to write in the future comes out well without grammatical errors.That' all thank you.

#National service friend#

I once had a good friend in national service whose name is vigi.She is the same age as me and one of the sweetest girl i have ever met.Even though i only knew her for two weeks but i still do contact her once in a while to get updates about her.She's currently doing her degree in civil engineering in uniten.I miss her a lot because she was very kind to me even though we just met during my first day in PLKN.She helped me just like how my own family would have helped me in a different state away from my family at that time.We stayed in different blocks yet we were very close just like family.My block was block A and hers was block E if i remember correctly yet we always met during break times or physical exercise time.It was fun being there just because i knew she was there for me if i need anything.We depended on each other for anything either food or health wise.We could meet up sometime after i and her have finished our degree's in three years time hopefully.Well that's all i could tell about my best friend in national service which i respect and look up to so much.I hope she will complete her degree without any difficulties what so ever.

*Tasks done*

At last my assignments are completed and finished.My study skills and management assignment is finally completed and i am so happy because it feels like a big burden has just been lifted off my shoulders.After hours,days and weeks of hard work and patients, the assignments are finally done and i am really satisfied with my own work.All my research and knowledge has been puored into both my assignments and hopefully my hard work will be paid off with excellent marks if possible.I just got one more assignment but this one is a group assignment so i guess it has to wait, for a group discussion with my groupmates first.I have to submit both my assignments this week,study skills on tuesday and management on wednesday i think.Both the assignments gave me terrible headache and many sleepless nights because of the very thought i haven't finished it yet.I can get these headache and so on if i haven't completed any work or task given, i guess it's just my nature to be like this.I wish i could be like some other people who can relax and just do their work at the last minute.I just can't do that, it is just not me.Well at least all my current assignments are done so i do feel much better now and at ease.I hope my next assignment for microeconomics will go smooth as well, that's all.

>Weekends<

This is my favourite time which is when i go back to my house during the weekends and see my family.I get to relax and not worry about class,assignments, food and many other factors.I get to be with my family and that is the best part of it all.Usually when i go back i am the happiest one i think because i do miss my family when i am alone here.Especially when i am not feeling well or down because of stress.Last week i was not feeling well and i kept on thinking of my family especially my parents or more specifically my mom.I was thankful actually that friday's extra class was cancelled so i could finally go home.When i went home my mom cooked for me and we spent the time together with my father and younger brother as well.This weekend my mom's not working and i am so glad she was not working because if not i could only see her during bed time or maybe early in the morning.We also played ping pong and darts together.On Saturday we went to the theatre to watch a movie and came home at midnight.I'm actually mad because the days pass so fast and i have to come back to kl so fast like today night.Well i have decided to only stay here for one year only so it doesn't matter i guess.In the end of the year i have decided to take my driving license and after that travel to my campus.As long as i am with my family i don't mind travelling.I hope 1 year passes soon and fast.Well that's all i guess.

Good and bad stress

So our study skill lecturer told us that she wanted to teach us this so called method of 'good stress and bad stress' yet she cancelled our class.Well i think that is bad stress and i learnt that the hard way.The reason is that she cancelled our class out of the blues. It came as a shock to me since i was not informed by the lecturer.The main reason is i'm not feeling well as i have informed in my earlier blog.I was just informed by veena and i'm just not satisfied.I hope i get better soon because i still have class tomorrow for accounting.Study skills assignment and bowling cancelled just like that.Class starts at 2 tomorrow so i guess i can sleep late. Veena just came after her cousins weeding and luckily she came because i'm alone at our apartment since 6.30p.m.With the amount of foreigners here, i'm just not ready to take risks and sleep alone without company.Well that's it i suppose.

*Merdeka*

Well yesterday was merdeka our independence day and it was fun.I was at home with all my cousins and family members and they all went back yesterday night after celebrating together.I was not feeling well though because my brother had sore throat and he transferred his disease to me.So yesterday and even until now i'm still not feeling well.Eventhough so, i still have class tomorrow and bowling as well so i have to go class.Plus i have to submit my assignment for study skills.The portfolio has to be submitted tomorrow and i have no choice in the matter.I thought of taking an medilcal leave which i'm sure i can arrange but study comes first i guess so i hope my fever,flue and cough goes off as soon as possible.I can't concentrate in class if i'm not well some more it's so cold in the classroom.I didn't celebrate much for independence day because of my sickness problem.I guess i'll have to wait for next year to celebrate in good health.I do hope i get better soon as well as my brother.That's it i guess....

Defensless animals...

I have commented about this matter about roughly two times already i think.When i was on my way back home on thursday since our EAP class was cancelled i saw yet again another dead animal on the highway.After seeing it lying on the floor like that, i just couldn't stand it anymore i guess.I thought to myself poor animal and impatient drivers which i am not satisfied with definitely.I couldn't do anything to help it because my dad was driving on the highway and so i couldn't do anything about it.The annoying thing is nobody cares for that unlucky animal and just leaves it there even after it's death.So when i was almost reaching home my dad stopped to buy something and i saw a pregnant dog crossing the road over and over again without any senswe of direction.It seems to be finding for something to eat to fill it's stomach and for it's puppies.I immediately took a few biscuits that i had that time and wanted to give it but i couldn't call it.After that my dad came so i went in the car and we headed home.Just in case the dog finds the biscuits, i left my biscuits somewhere where the dog can find it easily.Hopefully that dog found the food i left for it.That's it i guess for tonight.
