Just finished an exam. Management Information System.
I feel that business subs exams are weird. The exam questions were T/F, Objective and fill in the blanks.
It's a bit frustrating because it's like: there's 1500 things and I remember 1200 things but they only questioned me on the 300 things that I don't remember~
Result for my Heat and Mass Transfer also came out last Wednesday.
Was above average, but I thought I'd get a better result because the questions were similar to past years questions.
But did so many bloody mistakes~~
Will need to do quite well in my next 2 exams if I wanna get an A for this sub....

Salmon's Life
Salmon are anadromous: they are born in fresh water, migrate to the ocean, then return to fresh water to reproduce, and die. Folklore has it that the fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn, tracking studies have shown this to be true but the nature of how this memory works has long been debated.
Chinook and sockeye salmon from central Idaho travel over 1400 km and climb nearly 2100 m from the Pacific ocean as they return to spawn.
Not many people are born to die. There are a lot of things that we would like to achieve in life. Wealth. Fame. Longevity.
Yet Christ set an example for us, and said that unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it produces a lot of grain.
If a salmon, guided by the hand of God, is willing to undergo such long, hard process to give birth to their next generation, what is stopping me from carrying out God's will so that many more may experience His gift of new life?
I long to take the road less travelled, seing things from God's perspective rather than from my own. Yet if I'm not willing to make greater sacrifice, will it be possible?
If I haven't died to myself how can I experience the power of resurrection?

Final year...
I'm now a senior in Uni.
Can't wait to graduate.
Amazing how 4.5 years passed like rushing water.
Not that I hate studying, but can't wait to see what God has in store for me.
Working with my current company?
Graduate school?
1 year mission trip?
Work somewhere else?
I want to serve God and be in a position where I can influence others for Him.
I want to share about what God has done for me. He has been gracious and good to me.
I want to share what He has showed me during the last few years and apply what I've learn.
Should I be choosing the road less taken?^^

Winter Vacation 2008
Sat for my last paper on Monday^^
Officially our school exam week started on Monday and finished tomorrow.
However, out of consideration some professors will make the final exam one week before the exam week so that students will have less to study during the official exam week.
Normally it's a good news.
But unfortunately ALL my professors did that.
So 2,3 weeks right after my mid-term I was busy preparing for my finals.
Compared to last semester, I think I didn't manage to do as well for the finals.
Not likely that I'll get a scholarship this sem but still hoping that my results won't be too bad.

Finals in 1 week~ ^^
It seems that I can hardly do any updating during the semester.
Hopefully next year will bring a brighter future to me^^
Anyways, finals will start next Friday, with 7 subjects to go.
Most of my mid-term exam results are not out yet, but I think I'm somewhere around the average for most of the subjects.
I'm expecting my exams to end by 18 Dec so that I can make a trip back to Malaysia before my Fast and Pray Retreat at the end of the year.
Also looking forward to my 2nd China Mission trip in January.^^

Summer Vacation~
More than one month has past since my summer vacation started.
I really looked forward to this vacation due to the stress and fatigue I accumulated throughout this semester. It was indeed the most tiring semester out of the past 4 years here in S.Korea.
Went to the CCC Summer Conference in Jeju. This is my 3rd year attending CCC Summer Conference but due to the fact that I've just transferred to this uni and I didn't spend much time with them throughout the semester, there were quite a number of new faces.
This year we had it in Jeju in conjunction with Korea CCC 50th anniversary and Jeju Island 100th year of Mission work. Actually throughout the semester I didn't plan to go because I was thinking of taking some easy subjects during summer class to jack up my overall grades.
But finally decided to go since it's KCCC Year of Jubilee and wanted to see what God will be doing in the island of Jeju. I hoped that God would give me a not too bad result to compensate my not being able to take summer class.
And indeed He has been faithful. Though I'm not sure whether I'll be able to get the scholarship, but getting a CGPA around 4 in Korea University was not something I'd expected.
Getting an A for my Quantum Chemistry was also something I had not expected. Thanks to God and my friends and seniors whom we had last minute group study with.
Getting my result during the conference was like an assurance from God of His faithfulness and and that everything is in His hand.
Right after the Conference I came back to Malaysia on the 9th of July. My BKD boss bought the ticket for me wanting me to go back to rest, and WORK.
On my way back to Kuching my stop at KK wasn't fruitful. But my trip last week has brought a lot of advancement to our projects. Hopefully our current and new projects can start soon and I'll be able to say I've done my part well and bring glory to God.
1 week left before I return to Seoul.

Finals
More than 3 months has past since I transfered to this new Uni.
only 2 weeks left of the semester.
Wanted to take summer class to improve my overall CGPA,
but the time clashes with the CCC summer conference held at Jeju Island.
Thought of not joining the summer conference this year and take my summer class as most of my friends are taking.
But after some thought and some discussion decided to go for the Conference as it's in conjunction with Korea CCC 50th anniversary and Jeju Island 100th year since missionaries first went in there.
After that probably will be going back to Malaysia for work and enjoy.
This time will be back in Kch.
And last but not least please pray for my exams that are coming up, the first beginning this saturday.
6/14 - Biochemistry 2-4pm
6/18 - Marketing Management 9-10.15am
- Current English 1030-11.45am
6/19 - Biotechnology 1030-12.00pm
Reaction Engineering 3.30-6.00pm
6/20 - Quantuam and Surface Chemistry 7-9.30pm
only 2 weeks left of the semester.

Thoughts...
1 more week to my final exam.
Then it's the end of my first semester here in Korea University.
Life here is quite different from what I expected it to be.
Never thought I'd have so much pressure.
Never thought that my dreams will be gone within a semester.
Finding new meaning. Finding new dreams.
Though there's one deeply hidden within me, I'm not ready to accept the challenge.
Be with me O God.
So that my life will indeed be a pleasing living sacrifice for you.

2nd Quantum Chemistry exam
Just finished my 2nd exam of Quantum Chemistry yesterday.
In my uni's college of engineering, we have up to 3,4 exams a semester for the harder subjects.
The logic behind it is so that student don't have to crack their hard and study too much during the mid-term and final exams.
There are pros and cons to this tho.
Pro is that you have more time to prepare for the exam because you don't have any other exam during this period and the amount that we need to study per exam is less.
The cons however, includes spending too much time preparing for 1 exam and neglecting other studies, assignments, revisions etc.
So right now I have tons of stuff to catch up with in subjects like Biochemistry, Reaction Engineering, Biotechnology etc.
After having 1-hour exams for 2 years in Dongyang Technical College, I was surprise that the exams in this uni last is like other normal uni and M'sia, taking 1, 2, or 3 hours depending on the subject and professor.
So after the 2.5 hour exam last night went for a drink with 2 seniors and another of my friend who's taking the subject as well.
Spent nearly a week preparing for it. Though I know the result is not going to be beautiful, I'm glad that I put it a lot of effort^^
Played from 10pm till 2am ^^
Now I understand why Koreans drink so much and play so much.
There's just too much stress~~~
3 more weeks till final exams and 1 more month till summer vacation~~

1st Exam in Korea University
Had my first exam after transfering to Korea University last week.
All in all I sat for 6 papers in one week, which is very uncommon for most students in my uni.
Was quite nervous as this is the real challenge in Korea after 4 years.
The past 4 years was spent learning language and studying in a technical college, which relatively wasn't that hard.
Though I didn't expect some easy question, the test was far from what I expected, except for Marketing^^
Did quite poorly for my second paper, Reaction Engineering and last paper, Quantum Mechanics.
For the last paper, I was so tensed and pressured the previos night that I couldn't concentrate and study. So I slept early, woke up late and started preparing for the exam at 11am.
Thank God that the exam was at 7pm, which gave me about 6-7 hours to study for the paper.
Though I did quite bad for the paper, other students didn't seem to do well as well.
However, I think I'm the only one who did terribly for Reaction Engineering. 1,2 of the questions were't that difficult, but I was confused and counldn't think properly and solve it.
Well, it'll be an interesting week, seing my results come out one by one....
