So hi gais! #NP-Gimme Shelter-The Rolling Stones
Tomorrow is Eid Adha, so happy eid people!! Also, 2 weeks and a few days left until a new semester start! I am get bored easily nowadays, probably because 3 months of doing nothing is too mainstream for me. I know it might sounds silly, but I crave my uni life now. My to-do list for holiday? Nah, to-do list is meant to never-do it. Not really never though. I did it, but not to the fullest.
I spend most of my days watching tv series, variety shows and movies, be it English, Korean or Japanese. I watched them all. I haven't finished The Big Bang Theory season 10 yet. I keep procrastinate watching them and watch other stuffs. I don't know why. I have that kin of habit; where I am suppose to finish something that I've done - halfway, but I keep on procrastinate and doing something else - something new, simply because I don't want them to end. It's so hard to explain. I am happy to know that I have something undone and knowing that I have things to do in the future which is to finish them off even though "only God knows when I will finish them". Still, knowing that I have something to do in the future makes me feel "alive?happy?" whatever, I can't find the right word.
#NP-She's Not There-The Zombies
Ok, then. Bye!
Bachelor of Computer Science (Bioinformatics) UTM Skudai
Hi gais! What's up! So few days back, upu result was out. Congratulation to everyone who managed to get offered from the public universities to pursue your degree study! If you didn't get any offer...don't worry babe, you can appeal at upu website and hope the best. One of my friend had to appeal two times until she get place in public uni. I believe the course suit her best, she even did well in every semester! The last for the best!!
As typed in the title above, it's about BCS Bioinformatics. So I am a student of School of Computing studying Bioinformatics for my undergraduate study. I will be in my 2nd year this coming semester :D
Alhamdulillah I my first year went very well! I study computer science - bioinformatics at UTM, Skudai Johor. So I wanna talk about what I learnt during my first year.
For God sake, it's pretty hard to explain to you guys what's bioinformatics exactly. Bioinformatics sounds cool but I think call it computational biology give you a better idea about the course. It's a field where you use computing knowledge to study biology. Yeah, whatever.
So during my first year, I once asked myself "Did I study Mathematics or Computer Science?". You know why? Yas, that's because most of the subject needs you to use your left brain...most of the time, even most of the subject are calculation based subject. It wasn't that hard to be honest. It's like an upgraded subject of modern maths during spm year. Below I attached you the subject I learnt during my first year.
*I studied computer organization and architecture instead of network communications, network communications will be studied on my semester 1 of my second year. Picture credit to : UTM Bioinfo
First of all, lemme tell ya what's the hardest and easiest subject from my opinion.
On semester 1, I think programming technique and digital logic is the hardest two. I am a pure science student since spm until foundation year. So I don't know anything about programming etc.Thank god my roomate was also a pure science student like me. So we both feel each other better in this class, HAHAHAHA. On the first two class of PT, I was totally lost. We studied flowchart etc. I don't know the heck was the lecturer talking about. I feel stupid. I couldn't imagine at all - how it related to coding. Then one time, there's this group of senior who make a programming class on the weekend for anyone who wanna join and so I did *sedar diri*. Long story short, we only have 1/2 class with the senior, but thank god I managed to get the idea of the subject and how it will be...after that, I don't feel stupid anymore...hehe. I also managed to get A for the subject xD YOU CAN DO IT!
Digital logic(DiLo) on the other hand is a real something. It's hard to explain what so hard about it. But it does give me dizzy sometime. It has the physics touch - you need to understand the concept then only you can do it all. You'll feel like you are learning physics. NAND, AND , NOT etc. It's very interesting though. All you need is to focus during the class, and ask the lecturer if you don't understand it. You can ask the lecturer after class too. The lecturer are always ready to help ya! Once you get it, you'll feel like a genius, you'll feel like you can be friend with Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory, lol!
The easiest subject is Technology and Information System(TIS). Honestly, that's the subject I enjoyed the most. There is no final exam, and we play Kahoot a lot. I even got prized from my lecturer for getting high score in Kahoot xD
Semester 2, I think the hardest subject for me is Probability and Statistical Data Analysis(PSDA). Simply because I like probability chapter the least ever since in spm year. It's too much for me. But most of my friend like this subject, they enjoy this subject better than computer organization and architecture (COA) meanwhile I personally enjoy COA better than PSDA.
The easiest subject in semester 2 is definitely Computational Mathematics! No doubt! All you need is to focus and don't play with your phone while in the class.
Do you need a laptop? Well, I would say, yes you need it if you can afford. But if you cannot, that's fine. School of Computing got a lot of computer for the students. You don't need to get a brand new laptop at the moment because the usage of laptop ain't that many though. Btw, most of my class were held at the Computer Lab during second semester.
Biology? Oh, you will study biology specifically cellular and molecular biology on the second semester. Long way to start with the biology. You may be a good Biology student during foundation year, but when you start this subject, you might need to work harder for Biology. Why? Simply because it's been a while since you train your brain with biology stuff. You brain will be more mathematics kind of student than biology kind of student, if you get what I mean. You probably need to brush up your memorizing skills during semester break before starting you second semester. You can revise some chapter during foundation/matrik year like protein structural, carbohydrate, enzyme lock and key, plasma memberane, nucleic acid- dna replication...yah that small small stuff in biology that make up us.
Where did I stayed during my first year? Well, I stayed at M21, Kolej Tun Dr. Ismail. All of my classmates - the girls, stayed in the same block with me because we are minority, we fit in a small block, hahaha. Bioinfo students has a very small population. My batch only have 37 students and we are many than our seniors. Seniors who is a year older than us was only 14 students with 1 only 1 male students. The other courses of Computer Science would have around 60 students and Software engineering make up the largest population with 1++ students.
During first year study of Computer Science no matter what courses you specialized in, you'll study the same subjects and only 1 to 2 subjects different for each courses like biology subject for bioinfo students.
I would say, my life as a first year degree student is way better than my life during my spm and foundation year which was super hectic and pack with classes. My first year study in UTM is so relax and no pressure at all, unless you do last minute work and/or you got a loser group mate for group assignment.
First semester, you should do your group project with various classmates so you can know who work well and who should be in the blacklist. You must not be in someone else blacklist either. Do your work and don't be a silent group mate. Don't be a jerk. Please care about your carry mark. Study for quizzes like you study for final exam because your carry mark is important. Respect your lecturer no matter how/what they are, because what you need is their knowledge not a topic for a cheap gossip. Don't play with your phone while the lecturer lecture you. They will give you at least 5 minutes break, then go ahead play with your phone. You must get 4 flat for your first and second semester, or at least 3.67 (dean's list).
In UTM, if you get 4 flat, you tuition fee for the next semester will be free. They might charge your tuition fee at first because of the automatic charge system(ptptn) but they will give it back to you after mid-sem. So don't worry. 4 flat save you about RM660 for the next semester :D
I think that's all. I bet this is a long post. Thank you for reading and do leaves a comment if you have any question.
Bye and good luck!

Me being real is surreal
So, it's not about me being fake or what. It just me being away from fantasy and accepting the reality.
You know, accepting reality is hard when you are either being too positive-hoping or too stupid to read the situation. I treasure every close friendship I have had. Be it primary school friendship, high school friendship, part-time working friendship or uni friendship.
Trust me people, I am not the one who will text you everyday or even once a year just to ask how are you, because I am not that kind of person. I personally a person who will only text you when I have important thing to say. Not being arrogant, I am not idealist enough to have a topic for a conversation. My Whatsapp is full of group chat, you will rarely see personal chat in my whatsapp, I told my friend once and I showed my whatsapp in case she didn't believe me xD she was shocked to see none of the chat was a personal chat. *I suddenly feel sad for myself, lol* But after all, I care about every update in your life that you upload in social media and take note of it. I never forget every single of you.
Here's the story of the friends I long to. We were so freaking close back then. We go everywhere together. I challenge myself to live up your challenging life. But as time passed by, we were separated with different attitude towards life. We're no longer see eye to eye. I don't know who to be blame when the problem was too abstract to be explored. Perhaps it was not a problem and it was the way the life was set to be.
As mentioned, I do care about every single friend I used to have or is having. It doesn't matter how long we haven't talk, I still care. I don't know why I have to care. I just think they are all precious to me. Probably because I thought they are like me - thinking/caring about friends even if we're no longer talk*not because of fight, simply because we rarely see each other*. Boy, I am wrong. They are completely do not care about me/our friendship at all. They just don't.
It just me, over thinking or over caring about them. I even asked one of my friends' dad to get your number because I freaking care. We had a chat for a few days because you hardly replied me. Maybe you no longer want to look at the past. But I was too silly to see it. You changed number not longer after that and years later I still, did the same thing - asking your phone number and same thing happened. I tried to reach you because I missed you, I missed our friendship but I missed the point that you already moving on from the past. I followed you on instagram because I thought it was not too personal as phone number. I followed you for many years until today. I looked at your instagram and I suddenly wonder if you're actually following me on instagram or not, because you did accept me on instagram - so you obviously must realized that I have been following you for ages. Not all facts are happy. Sadly, you do not follow me on instagram and it does break my heart because we do not be apart because of fight so I thought we're cool, lol. You really don't want to know about my life, I am the busy body one, hahaha...shame on me.
So today, I've decided to be the 'coolest' version of me to accept the reality and unfollow you. Now, I am moving on from you, from our 'pre-teen' friendship. I will no longer give a freaking care on you who don't appreciate my hard work to get back to you as an old friend. It is so hard when you are too caring on all of your old friend. Too caring hurts too much.
I am totally moving on and not wishing you the best of luck, adios!
p/s: it's not about silly stuff of unfollowing people who are not following you back, it's about unfollowing people who don't care about you anymore. unfollow fantasy, follow reality.
Away Awhile
Hi. What's up. It's been so long that I forgot my blog existence. I'm not totally forgot it, I just ignored it everytime I remember it - for no reason.
So, a lot of things happened in the past months. I just got my result for the second semester of my bachelor study. well, well my second semester doesn't ended very well but thank god I passed this semester with a pretty good gpa than I expected.
I am now on my semester break for three months - now on the first month of break. Also today is the last day of eid, I wish you a very happy eid on the last day of eid for this year.
This time, I have a lot of things in my mind that I want to do. But I know that I won't be able to do all of that which leads me to frustration. I cannot beat procrastination, it's in my blood, lol. I tried to minimize my semester-break-to-do-list so I could done 'em all.
One of them would be learning Japanese and Korean. I learnt Korean since 2011. But I never learn it in serious mode. Actually I started learning Japanese first before Korean, but looking at the Japanese alphabet makes my heartbeat stopped for awhile *just kidding*. so I "paused" the Japanese language and start studying Korean. I was a jpop and kpop fans back then. I never brush up my Korean language and so I never level up my Korean proficiency.
I also started to get back to my tumblr and blog, as I am now. Mmm, what else? Oh, as usual I always baking during break especially chocolate cake, because I love them so much! I made some for my friends who visited me for eid few days ago. They said it's delicious xD
I watched a lot of sci-fi movie. I am now pretty much into Marvel's movie because one of my close friend back in uni is a huge fan of Marvel. I also watched Ready Player One and the Dark Tower and there's this one movie I watched yesterday but I already forgot the title, hahahaha - wait, let me look for it...oh I remember now, the Independence Day. I like it a lot, but sadly my forgetfulness makes me spend minutes to recall.
Clean up my room is definitely in the list...it just a matter of time plus procrastination. I am taking driving licence too, I have finished my 5 and a half hours of practical class, I still got about 10 hours before my jpj test which will be on the second of August. I never drive before I start my driving class. Even if I've started driving, I still anxious during driving. I hope I can pick up things better as time flies. Please pray for my safety and success in getting a driving licence.
Till now, good bye!
