Uni life sem 2 week 13: Limits

This week didn't begin well as slowly I got sore throat and then flu. Seems like easily getting sick these days. I still remember for about 2 days I didn't manage to get much sleep as I keep on sneezing.

With the sore throat, I tried my best and completed my Ethnics' Relation (HE) presentation and my final persuasive speech. Which I thought went well but I ended up with a more sexy voice when I woke up the other day... I actually felt relieved when it ended because I actually push myself a lot during English course as I was afraid to present in front of a class. Even during presentation I was quite nervous as the teacher who came to examine us remain emotionless throughout my presentation, unlike my usual Presentation Skills lecturer who gives approving nods and smiles sometimes during the speech.

Then with not a fully recovered body, I joined the Walkathon at the Computer Science Faculty. I decided to join last minute actually. Something inside me say just join, you have nothing to lose here. The aim was never to win but just to exercise for me as I won't be able to win, haha. Even so, out of 60+ people, I manage to be 12 or 13, which I was quite surprised. Along the way, I could not see anyone in front of me, luckily I walked with one of the participants all the way, if not I would have thought I am out of track.

After the walkathon, I went for a meeting for 明灯展. It is a project and exhibition organised by the Buddhist Society of UM. I also decided to join the committee last minute as I think I should join more activities so that I can gain more experience and add on more colours to my university life. We even went to an exhibition related to our project that day in Klang. What surprised me more was that one of my secondary school friend was having his intern at the exhibition, what a coincidence! He couldn't recognise me at first as he say I become very dark. =.=

There are times that I feel that I push myself hard, break limits and always try my best, I'm not sure whether is that a good thing...

*But I'm only human and I bleed when I fall down,
 I'm only human and I crash and I break down, 
Your words in my head, knives in my heart, 
You build me up and then I fall apart, 
Cause I'm only human*
~Human, Christina Perri

I like this song not just because of the melody but also the message that it brings out. Although sometimes we may fail and breakdown, it is completely fine, as it is normal for us to make mistakes. So these days when I'm really stress, I just listen to this song and it really relaxes me knowing that everything is going to be alright, as we are only humans, but that will never stop me from continuously challenging myself. I can do it!  :) 

Uni life sem 2 week 12: Reflection

This morning when I was brushing my teeth and looking at my own reflection then only I realise, I can't recognise the image in the mirror. I was like "what happen to you? you look so thin and dark, is like as though the bio class can use me to study bone structure already and I'm not kidding. =.=

The interview for the Pemudahcara Mahasiswa make me have more reflection. Seems like staying for almost 2 semester already but don't even know how many rooms on my floor and end up had to count the whole block have how many rooms for the interview and can't even remember the college song. Can't blame others but myself for the ignorance, but hey at least I get to know how much I know about my college during the interview.

While at library today, I was at the couch at the ground floor with my laptop and doing assignment and there come this one guy suddenly taking off his shoes and just sleep on the couch opposite me like a Sleeping Buddha (the pose was similar) as though at his own house. Do they care whether how people might look at them? Do they reflect on what they're doing is right or wrong?

So when you look at yourself at the mirror, can you still recognise yourself? Do you still see the yourself  as the same as before or someone changed?
