2015 Resolution :)

Hello 2015 :)

Yes, from me on my birthday. Who on earth will blog on her birthday a? Me seriously kinda #NoLife recently. Wey, no la, actually I typed this few days back and I just back from Doraemon Expo in JB :D (So happy to meet my love one on my big day!)
Ps : Will share about that next weekend ok? The current mod is killing me!

Add on : Just knew this news about the Cantonese Doraemon voice actor last night and it hit me hard. I remembered how I will always change the soundtrack from Chinese to Cantonese for every Doraemon movie I watched. He represented Doraemon, the one and only. RIP, my Doraemon hero, my childhood.
And I think this really conclude my childhood? With the leaving of my favourite cartoon character, that's the official end of my childhood.

So I set my resolution for 2014 and let's do a reflection to see how well I do first :)

1/ Let bygones be bygones (YAY)

Well, I think I did pretty well on this, especially the later part of my 2014. Heart-broken events happened, but I am really glad that I moved on from that incident. Like seriously, I am so proud of myself not being super emotional on that but I learned and changed to be really matured :) Hooray, big clap to myself!

2/ Be healthy, both physically and mentally (NAY)

I'm wasting my life like seriously =.= Slept super late every now and then and currently I am in my heaviest stage. Seriously need to change my bad habit and let's not waste my health in such a way again. I guess these bad habits really pull down my IQ by a lot hahahaha :P

By the way, I am trying to change my life to be a healthier one and I swore to be a long term vegetarian since 1st Jan yo! Hope I can really make it la :D

Taken during my Taiwan trip and that's the slimmest period in 2014.

Time for exercise!

3/ Focus on needs of parents (YAY)

I guess I had been a pretty good daughter in the past year :) Though there were still moments I showed my temper, moments they need to worry about me. But hey, I'm still learning to be a better one now! Had a surprise to dad during his birthday, visited them pretty often, and the list goes on. I guess I tried my best d and that's enough for 2014!

I wish I can be better, at least I won't have them to worry about me that often. Please be a good daughter, and I believe you can Choo Wan Qi :)

Love love love :)

Don't worry about me please :)

4/ Be considerate - control own temper and emotion (YAY)

OMG, can you believe this? I personally don't hahahaha :D But based on what my friends (Not those high school friends) told me earlier, they said they like me for being super positive. OMG, the emo old people last time also got such moments hahaha :) 

I'm really more than happy to know that my efforts to change myself can be seen. Being positive maybe really not that difficult after all. Let's not forget #HappyWQ hahaha :D

Smile my friend :)

5/ Be both efficient and effective - do things right, do right things (NAY)

This is the killer of 2014. No self control like seriously. If I really managed to control myself well, I won't have such sh*tty result. I got no idea how to pull up my CGPA now like seriously. Haiz, let's get back to study 24/7 now :'(

And if I have enough self control, I guess I won't gain weights till this stage LOL :(

I want this back!

6/ Explore the world (YAY)
Weeeeeee, I did this! Well, went to Taiwan with my sister is considered a very big step for me! Though it might seems a little achievement for others, but I am so glad that I made my very first step! Coming up next, I'm waiting myself to have a solo trip :D

Taiwan, I miss you :)

7/ Be more open-minded - listen and accept (Pending)

I listened a lot, but I guess I am still the very hard headed person. I accept people opinions, but only after I voiced my opinions. I don't know where I changed to be more open-minded, but I guess I still need to put in more efforts to change myself for not being so hard headed.

8/ Spend when only needed (NAY)

My spending for the year, OMG, it is a scary number! I spent so much on foods and now I know how I gained so much of weights =.= Gotta control my spending like seriously d. I don't want to be so poor every year end a....

9/ Improve myself (NAY)

I seriously don't know how much I improved and in which area I improved lol =.= Guess I need to really undergo a transformation to upgrade myself d. Jiayou a Choo Wan Qi!

10/ Be myself (YAY)

I didn't lie to myself. I didn't cry myself to sleep. I didn't stay under the mask for long. I voiced my honest opinions and feelings. I did my very best to think from another perspective. I started to step into the path I want to fulfill my dream. I guess I did pretty well to be honest to my true self :)

So many photos of myself a bit paiseh d :P

So I guess 2014 is a pretty nice year despite being the worst year as a student and a lover. But I did so well as a daughter, a sister, a friend, a senior, a worker :) And yes, time to close this chapter of life and move on to the new blank page! I will color 2015 in my own way!

Coming now, the 2015 resolution for a better me :

1. Stay focused - One thing at a time. Focus on my academic first :)
2. Self control - Control myself to have a better lifestyle, to stay focus and don't overspend.
3. Be contented - With everything I have now, ie the family, the friends :)
4. Be flexible and understand others - Never argue to win the war, but listen and understand.
5. Believe in myself - Have faith in myself even though things might not go well at some point in life. When there's a will, there's a way :)

All the best people :) Wishing you a blessed year ahead :)

Hello 22nd :)
Bye bye childhood.

20 Random Facts About Me :)

Don't know why, but suddenly got mood to do this :)

Tagged by few fellows, and if you don't know me well, you can check out some of my basic details here :)
And here you go, the 20 random facts about me.

1. Had my nickname "Ahma" since primary school standard 5 (11yo) and this name follows me since that time until now.
One of the most successful nickname that I ever see =.= People around me did a superb good job in sustaining this nickname! Back in secondary school, I bet there were some who only know my nickname but not my name! Weirdest was when the teachers or my friends' parents calling me with my nickname too.

2. Not a healthy kid.
Have skin allergic and nose allergic. Sleep late, don't like sports.. 

3. Stingy? Generous :)
Mummy always worries about me being too stingy to myself, ie don't want to have quality meal. But I know, I actually just don't like to spend their money, but I am way too generous in spending those money I earned myself T^T

4. Don't like to be in photos, but like to take photos.
Don't really like to be in the photos, but I prefer to help to take photos :) Still learning hard to be a better photographer. Anyone wanna teach me?

My hero influenced me a lot on my personality, attitude, thinking and etc. Glad to be like him, but will definitely need to change myself on the hot-tempered part hahaha :D

I seriously feel very proud to know Chinese and my Chinese is good! English is anyhow not my first choice when communicating with others.

8. I don't like to cook, but enjoy baking!
My mum is a super good chef and baker! She can cook and bake very very well and she feels that girls must learn how to cook. By far I am the only girl (I have 2 younger sisters) who can't cook in my family. I prefer baking anyway :)

9. Majority of my buddies are male.
Don't ask me why, but I have more male friends than female friends. Look at those FB chat recently, like usual, I talked more to guys compared to girls. Don't judge la wey... But I do have a bunch of super close female buddies too!

10. It's easy for me to cry, but not in front of anyone.
Novel, drama, photos, blogs, anything that manage to touch my heart, trigger my memories, they manage to make me tear! Shhhh, it's a secret :P

11. Touch my family, and you will die!
My family is my priority and touch them? You will yourself in big problem! My sisters are my VIP in life, my parents VVIP :D Can't imagine how am I going to survive without anyone of them. Although I like to annoy them all the time, but without them being my strong pillar, I am nothing!

12. OCD and detail-orientated.
Feel much comfortable when every details in order ;) The first thing I usually do when I reach home nowadays is to clean up the mess my sister did to my room.

13. I communicate better with those elder than me, compared to those who are same age with me.
I got no problem to chat with the elderly for hours, but conversation with my peers usually can't last very long which I don't really know why. 

14. Hygiene is a big thing.
You can hardly see me before I took my shower. It's a must do for every morning before I head out from my place. And you sometimes might be able to meet me in the bathroom in the midnight. Can never sleep well without a proper bath after one whole day.

15. Doraemon is my best darling.
Can never have enough of Doraemon :D Can watch them over and over again. And yes, I prefer the long movie version, it's just way too touching sometimes! Ohya, I dare not to watch the last episode yet.

16. I believe in horoscope.
Just another way to comfort and convince myself :D I believe in horoscope, but I believe in myself more :)

17. I can't take spicy food.
Well, most of those who are close to me will know about this. I can't take spicy food, my tongue functions very well everytime :) It is nothing to be ashamed of even though I am Malaysian and parent from Penang :P I just can't take spicy food, even my youngest sister can do better than me for this :P 

18. And I don't take alcohol.
A simple promise to myself for not taking any alcoholic drinks and I am still practicing this.

19. I love soft music :)
Soft music or instrumental music - the best companion in the midnight when you are all alone!

20. Prefer to keep everything to myself.
I prefer to keep everything to myself, and share them if I feel the need of sharing. Don't like how people judge me before knowing me well, so I rather not to share everything. And will only share with those I trust a lot, those who will never harm me.

That is all for now :D The 20 random facts about me :)

Year 1 Diaries

Before I am off to Taiwan for 2 weeks, let's conclude my Year 1 life in NTU :)
PS : No updates for coming 2 weeks yo :D

I should have blog about my sem 1 last time, so I won't have to crumble everything in this post. #LessonLearned

1. Study abroad is never something easy
Well, I know what you wanna say, Singapore is not far. Even though I know I can always come home, but no, that feeling is just, difficult. No matter how hard you tried, even you Skype everyday, you will still feel disconnected with people back in home. This hits me the most, especially with my sisters and my buddy. I can share everything with them via Skype very frequently. But still sometimes, they can't understand well.
And not to forget, you missed a lot of outings, just because your holidays are different with your buddies T_T

Group photo forever without me

2. Choose what you like love to study
Get to know more about yourself and study the course that you love. Honestly, I kinda regret now cause I gave up what I really want, and choose to enroll in economics. Not that I can't handle it well (though my CGPA looks shitty now), but I just don't have the motivation to put in extra effort. I can put in 200% of effort in something I love, but dealing with that lot of mathematics just get me a bit tired. 
However, I got no more reason to procrastinate d, cause my CGPA really looks super duper shitty now. Time to work hard, and yes, my short term aim for now : Graduate with flying colors!

3. Time management is important
Again, ain't this boring? Went through it and you will know. No one in university will ever deny this. We sometimes wish that we have 48 hours per day.
Looked through my planner, well, I pretty amazed by myself. Practically, I got not much time to fool around. Everyday, literally everyday I got lots of activities : all the lectures and tutorials, part time jobs, event planning, meetings, events, quizzes, assignments, presentation, birthday celebration, etc.
Without my planner, I really can't imagine how am I going to deal with all these workloads.

The busiest month - Feb

4. Joining events is fun
Someone will question, why joining that lot of events when you can't afford to maintain your academic performance?
Like I said, I will put in 200% of efforts to things I love. I love joining events, meeting others, and I like to plan something out and make that event a success. I love learning through this way, experience has much more values for me compare to those theories.
Joined 4 clubs, met lot of people, planned lot of events, went through lot of funs : This is truly what I enjoyed :)
And sometimes you received extra surprise like being nominated as Best Subcom for 2 times? :D

Race On 2013

ICTF 2014

MSD 2014

Heritage Kampung Play 2013

Heritage Week 2014

Rotaract Origami Workshop 2013

Rotaract Flag Day 2013

Earthlink Events

Thow Kwang Pottery Workshop

All these events need a lot of preparation and glad that we managed to make every of them success :) A lot more activities that I joined and also organised, thank you everyone for giving me all these chances. More to come in coming year :P

5. Treasure people that willing to stay beside you

Went through a lot of things related to relationship in this year. Again, my social skill need to be improved. Friendship is not hard to gain, but hard to maintain. Time to put in a little more effort to let people around me know that I do appreciate them.

Finger crossed hope that the curse won't happen again.

6. Travel always in my bucket list

Being in university given me a lot of freedom to travel around :D
Going to Singapore not counted as travel though, but well, Singapore will be my next stop to explore also d =D
Went to a lot of places for my Year 1 :D

Batam 2013

Johor 2013

Penang 2014

Malacca 2014

My Year 1 went tougher than I predicted. Depression, stress, emotion, all these hit me hard especially during the exam period. But all the same time, those satisfaction and experiences are more valuable to me. I know this is my choice and I will not give up :D Aza-aza fighting for the next sem! 

Secret Angels

Make a big decision on last week and guess a lot of people know what's happening.
Yeap, letting go a relationship isn't sth easy, moreover, it's such a long and nice relationship.
Thanks for all the concern, care and love from everyone of you =D You guys are so sweet~~
But no worries, for me, it's just a change of identity for both of us, it's not the end of the friendship, same to the memories created. They will always stay with me =D

The game of secret angel, I bet it is a well known game for those who watched The Hippocratic Crushes II? Played this game when I was 14 in a camp and yeah ever since that it leave a big big impact on me.

For those who don't know about this game, here is how the game goes. Names go into a container and every person picks a name out of the container. For the entire period of the game (a week or a month), the players have to be the secret angel for that particular person chosen. You gonna treat the one you protecting extra nice, but it is important to keep it as a secret and never reveal till the game ends! Everyone throughout the game will feel special and being loved!

Is there any secret angel in our life? I always wonder. But day after day, I am convinced that YES, there are a lot of secret angels out there for us!

It's true, at many points of my life, no matter how miserable my life gone, there are people out there always standby for me. Just a message, or a call, or even a Facebook status, people will start popping out asking whether I need any kind of help from them. Although it seems tiny enough for them, but it is the thought and this tiny action that counts! I feel love, warm and the best, I feel the support!

My friends used to describe me as emotional people few years back. But now some friends say I am positive. Why is there a major change in me? Well, I would say, my secret angels changed me a lot! Yeah, it's you, the you who are reading this! Everyone of you changed me in a way that you never realised! The power of love and support is so great!

Thanks for telling me I am having you in my life. Thanks for spreading and sharing with me your love and support. Thanks for your kindness that make this planet a better place for me and everyone! Thank you =D

Don't wait to make a change! I believe everyone of us can be angel to the others. Send a message out, do something cheerful, encourage others, there are lot of things we can do to spread love. And yes, you will definitely receive more than what you can imagine!

Let's start today =D Be an angel to the others and let us be your angel <3

PS : Received a card from one of my angels from Canada. Thanks girl for telling me I'm still that important to you! 

With love,

WanQi

New Year, New Resolution

Hello 2014! 

The first blog entry in this new year and yeap like usual we should set our resolutions of the year =)
But before setting the new targets let's see how bad well bad I did in 2013.
Based on this, these were my 2013 resolutions :

Step closer to my dream (Yay)
I don't think I did a lot to improve myself in terms of attitude, knowledge, communication skills and etc, but got myself enroll into NTU for Economic course, I think I did make myself one step closer to achieve what I want? *Clap*

Earn and save more money (Nay)
Got myself a scholarship I consider it as save a lot of money but that's not my money T_T
Basically in 2013, I worked and yeap I earned money but at the same time I spent T_T So didn't really able to achieve to save MORE money. But nevermind, at least I didn't spend pennies from parents anymore =)

Be back the mature me (Pending)

I don't know am I considered as mature now. I faced my failure honestly throughout the year, didn't run away from problems and this should be consider as mature right?
But look at those childish act I did =.= WTF, did I really hide inside a wardrobe? OMG... 

Take care myself well (Nay)

Slept late, ate a lot of junk foods, skipped meals, less exercise, what else I can say? T_T Sorry body, sorry!

Lose weight (Nay)

No comment.

Go travel with the family to somewhere we never explore before (Nay)

Didn't manage to arrange a family trip in 2013 to somewhere else. A big failure T_T
But well 2013 still was a travel year for my family, we went so many places but not with family =.= Looking forward to do it this year. Phuket maybe?

Learn cooking (Nay)

I think this will stay forever in the failed resolution list. Hahahahaha =P
Didn't learn cooking from the pro aka my mum and I think she gave up on me d hahaha =P But hey I cooked, I mean helped in cooking ok? My ABC soup was awesome!

Change to a more positive mindset (Yay)

Spend lesser time to emo like how I did last time. Shared a lot of positive energies around and yes I see the changes! Good things only come when you believe! Me no longer emo ama d =)

Keep in touch with all my VIPs (Yay)

A few gatherings and meet up with the long lost friends. I think I did my very best to keep in touch with those who willing and worth to fight for. For those passersby, I did my best to appreciate their appearance too =)

Thank you, for coming and leaving my life. I appreciate it the most when you stay =)

Appreciate time (Nay)

Spent a lot of time on social media but I don't think I utilize my time. And I didn't manage my time well. It was a year filled with enjoyment yet not utilize to do something else more beneficial.

Overall 2013 was a relaxing year. Won't blame myself for not completing the whole list of resolutions as I knew what's the utmost task for me ahead. Bye bye 2013!
Now time for new resolutions for 2014 =)

1/ Let bygones be bygones

2/ Be healthy, both physically and mentally
3/ Focus on needs of parents 

4/ Be considerate - control own temper and emotion

5/ Be both efficient and effective - do things right, do right things

6/ Explore the world
7/ Be more open-minded - listen and accept
8/ Spend when only needed
9/ Improve myself

10/ Be myself

Be Proud of Yourself

Nope, my exam haven't over. But me just left with Traditional Chinese Medicine paper, somemore is MCQ. 
So just let me slack for a while =P

Was surrounded with very negative emotions throughout the exam week.
Both mentally and physically exhausted. Not only cause of exam, but some other things that bother me a lot.
But no worries, I escaped from the hell d =P

Back to the topic =P
So a lot of people seems to have lower self esteem specifically during exam period.
Don't really like to be surrounded by these people, I'm just a bit too easy to be affected with negative emotions sometimes.

Is exam, the only thing to judge us for our life? For how we behave all this while?

Saw this from Twitter and found it to be very meaningful.

I meant, will the 8yo you care about what grade you getting now for your paper?
If yes, exam is the only judgement, then I feel sorry to you.
But if this won't affect a lot, hey, do something else!
Where is your dream? Do something beside chasing after that "A" for your paper, at least you won't let the future 30yo, 40yo you to feel regret, for things they didn't do.

Don't be scared of failure, the only failure is never to try.
True. Don't be afraid to fail. Be friend with failure!
Found this comic to be very inspiring, have a look =D

http://doodlealley.com/2012/10/10/be-friends-with-failure/

"Success is a sign you're ready to learn something new, and failure is a sign you're learning something new."

I don't think I can score high for my final, but after all, is it worthy if I letting it to bother me for a long period?

Keep looking up people!

I live my life. I meant, since I did my best, since I can do no changes d, just take it and keep looking up! What doesn't kill you make you stronger~~

Be proud of yourself, you deserve it.
Rock your life, and you will be in the hall of fame =D

Have a great holiday =D
Cheer!
