Today is our appreciation dinner for the orchestra concert. Our Chinese Orchestra Society had established for 6 years while I had joined the society for 5 years, since I entered the university. After this semester, we will leave the university and the society soon. Thanks for the surprise tonight.
After the appreciation dinner at “Hao Shi Jie” restaurant, we went to Gogo to sing Karaoke. This was my first time sing karaoke with friends from Chinese Orchestra Society and last time during my University Life. Thanks for the farewell. I was very surprised because I still do not know what had happened during that time when one cake came in front to three of us. Sorry for my less contributions always to the society due to busy for other things. It is difficult to me to maintain the practice time and organized the events for this society. I am glad to know all of you here. It was really touched for tonight although I did not cry in the karaoke session.
I am sure that I will miss the day we practice the ensemble together. I will miss the day when we practice until midnight for our performance. I will remember the day we take the entire instrument here and there. I will remember the camp and the concert which I had organized it. I will remember everything happened among us. Thanks to be my friends and the farewell. I am happy and enjoy for the night.
After the preparation for few months, we finally ran the program successfully. 11 lecturers had been invited but only 8 of them turned up during the night. Also, we had around 120 course mates who attended the night. We started the program around 8 something and end it nearly midnight.
During the preparation, it was no doubt that we had quarreled always. We were lack of meeting and did all the things separately. The process was quite tough due to the communication breakdown. However, all the things had come to an end.
During our accounting night, we were worries when our VIPs were not reached on time which we had budgeted for them. We had to drag our time. It was something which we need to look after in the future where we did not confirm with our VIP again the day before except for the emergency. We not even had their contact number. Here is the place for us to improve afterward. For the flow, we really need to thank for the coordinator. He had scarified the night to make sure all the flow was ran smooth. Unexpected, I won the most talkative prize for my class. We did the nomination in class and finalist 3 for the voting. However, I was no chance to take the prize because I went for the preparation of our dance after that. I miss the opportunity to take the prize, and I was so surprised for it. I was really not sure that I should be happy for that or sad for it. Anywhere, I need to thank to all my classmates.
We had prepared for our dance more than 1 month. I had no talent for this type of things but I only dance for fun. It was a hard work because we practiced it always and I not even can follow most of the step in the beginning. Also, I was the worst in our dance group. Luckily, we managed to dance it nicely during our showed time. It was a success for all of us.
I had prepared the slide or video for a long time. However, I was not sure how many of them watch for it as all of us also busy for photo taking. I failed to do a touchable closing ceremony and finished my album. The time was not allowed for that and everyone was busy for photo session. On the other hand, I had done my best park for my course mate for their memory as I burned out the video for them, although I failed to show it during the night. I only hope they will like it. The processed was easy but time consuming. Thanks for giving me the chances, although my idea was banded at the first time due to the manpower. I chose to scarify because I had burned the biggest amount among 3 of us.
Lastly, I hope everyone enjoyed the night and had a wonderful memory before we are graduated. I was doing some part which I never think that I can do it before this. It was something that I still cannot accept it until now, even if I had finished everything. There was no doubt that it was the dance.
I felt sad when MMU cannot enter to the final. I was quite upset when I look at the question. It was so easy because it just some theory question, but I fail to do it. We expected more calculation but end up it came up such a question. I may be just being able to blame myself why I did not read more theory to gain additional knowledge, and prepare well for it. It maybe was my fault due to not prepare it for a long period. We must get to prepare always to compete with others.
There was a lesson for us today, which were a lot of competitors outside. To compete with them, I should become better than them. I think that no time was not an excuse which can be forgivable. I must improve my efficiency to do something, so that I will have more time in a day. I must clear my mind and achieve the better result. It was really sad when we can not get what we expected for it.
IVAQ came to the end after we had worked hard for one week plus. Another thing begins when we have to start our assignment and preparation of our activities. IVAQ was over but it does not mean all the things will stop at this point. We still need to proceed to it and get better next time. Lose is a starting point for us to achieve successful. As long as we do the best, we will not regret for it, although we get nothing for everything.
Our Chinese Orchestra Society had been invited to perform during their Spring Festival in UTeM (University Technical Malaysia Melaka). When I went to UTeM for the first time, the university is really amazing. The very beautiful road looks like just build for that university because no other place is being developed so far around that area. When we entered the university, there is no end border from our view. We can see as far as we want because all the tree still very small due to it is a new university.
We had two day rehearsal for our 15-minute performance. One thing which I really not like are we had to change the original song after we rehearsal for two days. The PA system is a bit weird, which makes us cannot listen to others clearly.
From so many performances, I really had to touch up my skill especially for our orchestra concert in April. Practice is always making perfect. I do not want to perform every time, and I also felt very guilty because I did a lot of mistakes during the performance. All the best for myself.
For their Spring Festival, I saw few Malay dance our Chinese culture dance. It really showed here is Malaysia and did the 1 Malaysia. Many of the audiences are come from different races to celebrate our Chinese New Year altogether.
Chess week is coming again this week. I didn’t play any chess for quite some times since last year before I went to practical training. Chess week is an event introduced by our batch last year. We promoted 9 to 10 types of different type of the chess in our university included Chinese chess, International Chess, Reversi, Go Bang, Draughts, Chinese Checkers, Shogi, and others chess. I went to university to play chess although I whole day no class. If you ask me whether I like chess so much, I maybe cannot answer it 100% that I like it so much. This answer will be same as my Chinese orchestra instrument.
During the playing session with the committee, I realized that my skill was become worst and worst compared to one year ago. It means I really long time didn’t touch the chess. I played chess to train my brain to function always. It is interesting when nothing to do, but it quite boring sometimes because we just need to sit there for an hour or more to complete the game. It can also train our patient to finish the game.
Also, I learned shogi (Japanese Chess) one year ago. However, I only managed to play it after make sure some of the rules with others. It means I totally forgot about it when I didn’t touch it for so long, but I like it.
Chess week is an event which I like the most among all the chess club events. It lets us to communicate to others chess player or other students who like chess and introduce chess to other students who have interest to learn it.
Make a flash? Macromedia Flash is used to make a flash. I want to learn it since my alpha which was 4 years ago. However, time was not allowed because I had too many things to learn in the same time. I had to sacrifice it and concentrate on others things. For an accountant students, why we need to learn flash? It was not use in our industry. I think I learn it just because of interest or for fun.
When I entered the class, there were more than 20 students from different faculties in MMU. I asked my friends to accompany me but there was no one want to learn it because the cost quite expensive and may be no use in the future as well. Luckily, I still knew 2 people among all the students which were out of my expectation.
Flash class was very fun for me especially when we did something unexpected. It was really fantastic when I managed to draw a Disney Logo above as our flash assignment using flash. It was amazing when I did it successfully. I really happy for it although it quite time consuming because I think I draw it almost 2days included the time to think how I want to draw the things out.The process was quite long. However, it really deserved when I get something unexpected. Feeling is more important.
It was really a right time to learn the flash at this time because I had much time to explore the flash software. Enjoy the remaining 2 days to complete our short courses.
