May 9th(my sister's bday)
4.30 a.m.
I broke down suddenly during sleep. Cried . Tears just ran down my cheeks. I felt terrible, miserable.
I feel terrible now. I feel like a bundle of emotions trying to drown me down. It seems that i am no longer able to control myself. I feel like a lunatic. I feel like being beaten down. I am not strong enough. I can no longer hold the tears. I just feel weak. I don't wanna lose these all. I can't bear to miss this!!!
I feel so weak and vulnerable now. Tears are still flooding my eyes. I already feel homesick without even leaving the footsteps of my house. I will miss everything: bathing my dog, having dinner with my family, sending soup to my grandparents, calling my friends. I feel like i am about to leave my family.I miss my bed, Ipoh. I cannot believe it, this may be the very last nights that i am going to sleep in my bed in Ipoh. I suddenly feel the urge to stay. i tend to appreciate every single moment. I just could not tend to leave my family and friends as i love them and care for them so deeply that i am not capable of losing them. I cannot bear with the thoughts of leaving with my family.
This is the first time i am leaving my family for such a long period of time and without noticing it, i actually miss them more than i know. These tears keep streaming down my cheeks.
i feel weak. Am i not as strong as i thought?
Guys and gals:
Yes , JPA would give me the chance of a life time to study abroad but it seems that i have already acepted God's decision no matter whether i get to study overseas anot. I was not nervous when the results were announced. My heartbeat did not even pace up.( i have no regrets of my interview)
Maybe i did not want this as much as i seem i wanted it. Maybe i just did not really care for JPA, maybe i have prepared myself 100% that i would be heading off to Pahang, but i have to say that the thoughts of leaving Ipoh is just killing me.
There is none like my family and friends. Thank you Lord for your mighty love.
They are my tower of love, my pillar of strength, my essence of joy.
Nothing compares to the love i have for my family and friends.
It seems ironic that i would even shed a tear for something like leaving my family and friends. But it just came naturally. Never i have thought of imagining myself in this awkward position.
So...GOOD Luck to you all!!!! I will cherish the last day i am in Ipoh!!! Wait for my calls and smses!!!
visit me in Gambang!! as this is going to be a new chapter in my life!!!! i wanna invite you guys into the pages of my life. You guys are like ink in a diary: irreplaceable.

JPA interview today. The interviewers consisted of two guys from JPA and some engineer. All were Malays and this is Panel 3!!! There were 7 in my group:
1. Teluk Anson guy from sam min(back from NS)
2.Indian guy from KK.
3.PGS girl wore green+yellow kebaya
4. chinese girl applying for chemical engineering
5. ME!!!! from Sam tet!
6. Blazer librarian girl
7. AMC girl with pink kebaya
. So, this is my recap:
Selamat petang.....jika tanya dalam BM , jawab dalam BM, jika dalam BI jawab dalam BI, introduce yourself:
My name is Foong you Sheng. i graduated from SMJK Sam Tet. I scored 11A's and 1B for Chinese is my SPM. I am a school debator in my f4 and f5, i represented my school for public speaking. I have a passion for art and design. I like everything that involves creativity and innovation. I chose architecture as i always had the love and passion for Art. Being a Science student, i always found it hard to find the balance between art and science and i believe Architecture is the path for me. I wilsh to study in UK as i get inspired by buildings in Europe such as the Colosseum in Rome and The Eiffel Tower in Paris. I know Malaysia has the Petronas Twin Towers but i want to build buildings that are iconic like the Birds nest in China for the recent Olympics.
Mat rempit sekarang menjadi isu. Apa pandangan semua?
(i was 3rd to answer). Bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini, kita patut lihat punca masalah ini. Saya rasa keluarga kini mengabaikan anak-anak mereka kerena bekerja. Untuk menyelesaikan masalah ini, saya rasa keluarga lah yang memainkan peranan yang penting. kaunseling juga penting. Ibu bapa tidak seharusnya mengunakan alasan sibuk dengan kerja .
after some discussion....
Jabatan kemalangan ada mengadakan kempen bagi menyedarkan remaja supaya memandu dengan cermat. Macam ada kempen yang mengenai kesan kemalangan. mcm Kepala tiada...Untuk menyedarkan Mat rempit ini, kita harus membuat kempen juga.
What do you think about education in Malaysia?
Everything has room for improvement. Even countries like UK and Aus are famous for edu but i believe that everything has room to improve. Being a Science stream student, i feel that students should be given the freedom to choose their subjects. Like, my school only allow us to take all BIo, Chemis and Fizik. If we were given the choice of subjects based on our interest , that would be better.(why the look from the panel thinks that i keluar tajuk?? OMG)
lifestyle abroad. what do you think?
here, i started to kek gei. I believe that no matter who you are, you need to adapt like a chameleon in order to succeed. Its like I'am an Asian and i can bring my Asian values and practice it in other countries.(then i gek jor....)....I am an Asian right???(OMG)
if i can choose only 1 from 7 of you all to go abroad? who should i pick?
everybody picked themself. Someone said: we have to be selfish sometimes.
i said, this is like a horse race. May the best wins.
If i offer you the scholarship on Bio tech which is different from your choice, will you accept it?
No.I belive that everyone has their own passion and interest. For me, I am passionate about architecture and i will fight till the very end for that. In life, sometimes, there are many obstacles and challenges but i have to fight through it to achieve my dream. If that does not work out, i just have to choose another path. I believe in taking risks. If i want to succeed, i need to take risks. I am a teen right? Watching shows like American Idol i learnt from the contestants that if you have a dream, you have to fight for it. these people are willing to sacrifice everything for their dream and take risks. For me, i won't accept it as its not my interest. I do not want to waste my place for something i am not interested in. I rather give it to somebody who wants it more.
Men are generally more lazy than girls!!!! Give your comments.(what???)
but itu hanya sebilangan. Those who are hardworking may just be a handful.
well, it depends on their interest in the end. If one is interested in engineering, he will be hardworking as it is his passion.
Studying abroad may change your lifestyle or some may experience culture shock. What do you think?
I believe that as along as we learn from other cultures and apply it , thats great. lets say as an Asian, I can practice my Asian lifestyle abroad and for that people could respect me for staying true to my roots. Its all about learning from others and applying it back in M'sia.
Using ICT in education. Give your opinion.
I believe that ICT is great but spending to time in front of the moniter may tire your eyes. Thats why its okay to have some entertainment as we can look for knowledge for 20 minutes and maybe listen to songs or watch a video for 5 minutes. Thus, we can be rejunevated and fresh and can learn more.
what videos do you watch then?
I go to You tube and watch shows like American Idol and dramas.
Thats all. Well after the interview, we all were relieved. i thought we worked well as a team. Everyone had the chance to give their opinons. But unlike some friends of mine and my fellow group, i was seldom interupted by the panel.Is thsi a good sign? Dunno and after we came out the girls told me:" You talked alot, of course la,...debator wor...say your English not good...you spoke well.....You and the san min guy spoke so much....when you gave your intro, i forget what to say jor.....i see you also scared to give my opinion."
i though i did Ok...76 out of 100. i wish i could be slower and more steady.

I disagree. My friends are like so hardworking. it actualy depends on your interest in the end but lest say i have friends who enjoy studying History and excel in that. some men are lazy but we cannot say in general that all Men are lazy.

39%(fingers crossed)
Starting from today, the JPA interviews have begun. Since i am applying for architecture, my interview in on the 3rd of April(Friday) which is also the last day of the interviews. Alot of my friends were telling me, "you can surely go though it well, you can speak, no problem lar you". Well, my biggest worry is myself. I have to be prepared and i cannot let this golden opportunity slip through my hands. This is a chance that i must seize for a change. I am after all a fighter, right? haha
What i try to tell myself is not to lose myself in this interview process. I want to get through this interview as myself, not acting or coming of as fake. Just let me stay true to myself and i do hope that i can fair well. I really do not want to blow this or i will regret for not giving my best. Maybe some people say that with my English speaking background and my participation in debates should allow me to sail through this easily. However, nerves may get the best of me.
Just hope that i do not get a tough topic to dicuss. I hope its about reality TV or like entertainment..haha.or maybe about fashion??haha...or Pets??(silly me) Okok...just calm down. After all, according to a research done, i have 39% of chances to get it. But, lets be realistic, I am a non-bumi. Thus, I just have to fight till the very last for my passion.
okok..how to begin:" architecture is the perfect blend of both Art and Science and thus i see this as a forte, a ninche for me..haha.." WIll this work? Maybe i should shakewith the interviewers also.haha...
