Unofficially done with my pre-uni studies!
Finished our last paper on Thursday and I'm breathing easier now. But that won't be long. I'll be moving forward to my Degree in Law by end of June given that I passed all my subjects.
I'll be flying back home soon and I still haven't pack nor plan activities for this break. I do, however, have plans for the end of my break, and I'm super excited about it! :D
So I went through one year of pre-law education... 3 Trimesters of emotions, activities, people. I just have to go through 4 more of this and I'll be off to really spread my wings.
To be frank, I'm looking forward to the end of my time in MMU because of reasons. I know I should appreciate my time here and fully immerse myself in this experience, a graduating friend told me to enjoy my uni life tremendously coz I'll only get one shot at this. Well I guess just because I want this to end doesn't mean I don't enjoy myself now. I do. I join clubs, hang out with friends, stay up late for random things, eating at mamak at 3am, roadtrips... I do enjoy my life now. But yeah, thinking of the loans I'd rake up by the end of this 4 years gives me panic attacks and makes me stressed out about getting First Class Honours so I won't have to repay PTPTN. It's hard and in a way beyond my control, but I HAVE to try and do my best. The only problem is that I'm pretty sure if I failed to achieve what I want, I'll feel like I didn't give my best, or that my best just isn't enough.
I guess I'm just scared of the feeling of failing myself.
But HEY! Sem Break is here and I can unwind for nearly a month so I should be happy!
Here's to a marvelous sem break with amazing memories (and photographs as keepsake!)!
I FINALLY GOT A CAMERA!
Wednesday, 4 May 2016
Another 2016 Goal Ticked!
I've always wanted to own a Mirrorless or DSLR Camera to basically document my life in higher image quality HAHA coz my iPhone 4S's camera is tad faulty and all pictures taken with it are blurry with grayish tint.
So I went on Carousell and did my survey. Man I looked through all the listings for about 2-3 months? And I finally settled on a Pentax Q10!
No, I've never heard of Pentax before. I chose this just because the seller was selling it at a mere RM400!!!! She had it at 500 but subsequently reduced it to 400. Other sellers selling similar product are all selling at minimum RM789 and this is the lowest so far.
I was worried that it might be a scam or the product might be faulty beyond repair, but the seller sounded quite honest AND IT WAS ONLY RM400 INCLUDING POSTAGE! So I took a gamble and transferred her the money.
Received my camera on 28/04/2016 and I was over the moon!
Camera quite user friendly once I got used to it.
It's only 12.4MP but pictures taken look more or less similar to a DSLR I guess? Idk I'm no expert haha. But I am satisfy with the result :)
Battery power is quite bad tho but oh well.
I'm still pleased with this steal so I don't have too much complaints.
Here are some unedited sample photos of the Pentax Q10!
I do realize the photos seems tad washed out but I'm good with it as I always edit my pictures prior to posting them anyway!
All in all, I'm pleased that I got this tiny mirrorless! I do plan to upgrade to a decent DSLR or at least a Sony A6000 in the future, but for now, I think this fun-size baby can serve me well :D

Trimester 2 so far
Monday, 14 December 2015
I am drowning!!!! There's just soooo many things needed to be done and it's all so exhilarating! I'll be entering week 5 tomorrow and I still have no idea what I learned this new trimester! My brain is still quite blank and I really am afraid of failing!!!
Anyhow, I still do write To-Do List daily and I still use calendars to keep track of the tasks I have to perform. But atm I just write my lists in a random book which I merge with my business notes. Note to self: Get an Agenda or Planner! I actually planned to get it when I was in KL but it's quite expensive and I don't really feel like shelling money out just for that, but now, at this moment, I feel like I actually do need it! Printing out calendars is still okay but the problem is that the calendar is not with my to-dos, and it's quite troublesome to bring the calendar out since it's just a flimsy piece of paper and gets crumpled easily...
Syariah Law feels quite simple but is actually not. I really do have to study for it...
Business too...
And so is Accounting...
Also Criminal and Constitutional Law...
And Politics and Governance...
Essential English is still okay I guess...
I'm not only targeting for a pass, I want As! But to be honest, I really do enjoy reading law :) It's interesting really. If only I have the time sigh~
Well strictly speaking, I actually do have time, but during my free time I'm mostly worn out and tired and not feeling like studying. HAVE TO SNAP OUT OF IT!!!! I remember last Trimester I studied every single day when I'm free coz I have lots of time at hand since I'm initially not involved in any clubs or societies, and it makes me feel very productive. This sem, ......
Well! Same as my fitness progress, I HAVE to start being studious again! Studyblr is not really working for me anymore so I can't depend on it!
Think I'll have to print out or write down my Life Goals and put it up on my wall just so I can remind myself to do it.

After My First Trimester in MMU :)
Friday, 30 October 2015
Ah I'd really forgotten to update this blog!
So I've been studying in MMU for 4 months now and met a lot of amazing people whom I wish I know earlier! People like my housemates + roommate, Catholic Student Society (CSS) especially since they are all super nice people and are among the best people I met in life.
Being and living with my housemates has taught me a lot of things. They're the sisters I never have and for that I am thankful. We'd stay up till late talking in the living room or just doing our own stuffs there, which is quite family-like IMO since most people I know don't really utilize the living area WITH their housemates. In our apartment, we are like a big family. We look out for each other (mostly them-me since I'm new haha), use each other's stuffs, and listen to each other's daily rant etc.
We had quite a bit outings and made wonderful memories together which are all documented by photos (thankfully!). And these made it hard for me (and us) to say goodbye to one who is graduating hence moving out :'(
The CSS Family is also my another family alongside my housemates- Just by being with them made me a better Catholic (I hope). I started going to weekly masses again, and I started to not be embarrassed for praying before I eat (I know. Don't judge).
I just love the happy and positive aura they all have and I kinda regret not taking pics with any of them lol. Yea i just went through my phone- I have 0 nice two-person shot with any of them lol. All photos I have with them (and that's a limited amount) are group photos...
New Resolution: Take more pictures. Seriously. Document life with pictures even if it seems annoying and troublesome.
Well, I really don't have any ideas to write and I have no pictures to show. So I'll sign off now.

I am 15 minutes away from being 18!
Monday, 29 June 2015
So this is my last post as a seventeen year old teen whom can relate to ABBA's Dancing Queen. Whom can read seventeen magazine and feel like all is perfect. Whom can say "I'm still a kid!" when things went awry.
I just want to say I'm quite sad to not be able to celebrate as last year (sizable party) due to financial restriction and coz the people I'm close with here is basically my housemates. This will be my 18th birthday! My first step into adulthood. Yet, I'm here, living independently, like I'm already an adult...
I care so much about birthdays, especially significant ones like 18th birthday! But, blame me for my bad spending habit, I won't be able to eat out at a fancy restaurant or go to have sweet delicacies. I only have 20% of my monthly expenses now and it's only been 10 days since mommy wire me the money... Now I'll have to limit myself to a maximum of RM10 per day to see myself through a minimum of 15 days... Oh boy...
Okay than, I guess I don't have much to say. Um, maybe I can make a few birthday wishes?
Birthday Wishes
1. I'll curb my spending habit.
2. I'll pick up all things fast and be a 4.0 GPA student.
3. I'll be forever fit and happy.
4. My zits all over my face (and back oops!) will vanish.
5. I'll be fairer and fairer.
6. I'll get more friends.
7. I'll be better and better in basketball.
8. I'll be granted a scholarship.
Okay goodbye seventeen year old me!!!! I'll miss you!!!!!! I'll miss being a kiddo! I'll miss not being able to open my own bank account! I'll miss everything about non-adult life!
I'm sad.
xoxo,
Audrey
