My Hope for the intercollege Squash Competition


 

Really hope that we can win.

We had practised everyday before the competition

of the intercollege.

The more we trained, the more confidence we lost.

We could see the huge difference between us and experts.

First college we meet is KOMSASS.

We have a very low possibility to win.


 


 

Friends, let's try our best in this Saturday.

The result is not important,

just give your best and leave no regret!

Merentas Kolej in UPM 2010

"Running, Running, Running... And Running~"
(July 25) Our university held a run for all the undergraduates. Since this program was not compulsory, many people skipped this. The one who joined most probably wanted to get merit. Merit is a mark that will determine you either next year can live in the college or not. Anyone gets no enough merit have to move out and find for another accommodation in next year. Therefore, competitors who really fond of running were no much in there.
Early in the morning, we gathered in front of cafeteria’s college 17. The bus fetched us to the venue, Astaka Seni. I had a very high expectation on this event, so I ate my breakfast in 5am and drank a lot of water. The toilet in Astaka Seni has a changing room where over there has mirrors in all direction. My narcissism rose up. With my camera, I went to that room and kept taking photos. (XD)
Pose... Pose... Pose!
We, from College seventeenth, were the earliest to reach there. So, we spent a lot of time waiting. Around 8.30am, we did the warm-up activity. First category was man open. Soon, all the men climbed up the hill and stood behind the starting point to get ready. As usual, I fight for the most front place. 3, 2,1, start! Everyone spurted from the starting point.
This is the starting and ending point~



7.3km is no long. My estimation is about 45 minutes. Long distance run is fun. Before the run, you are very excited and look down upon the distance. I used to say: “7.3km only ar? Why don’t make it 10km? 7.3km can be finished no more than 1 hour!” However when you are in the process of running, you will regret and complain about yourself. A normal person will feel hard after running continuously for 7 minutes. Then that is the time, you will keep asking, where is the ending point? Running, running, and running, you may use all the energy left to rush to ending point. After this, sense of satisfaction comes automatically; especially you gain back your strength. Then, your attitude will turn back to the one before ran. You may use a furniture word to describe run just now. “Chair! (Ceh)”
=.=
hahaa... I knew is cold~
Today, I am not in good condition. I was afraid the history of my left knee repeats. I am no good in describing pain, even by using mother tongue. My right chest was painful when I run. I had no idea why it happened. I stick to my principle of long distance running.
1. Run consistently
2. Don’t rush
3. Don’t rest
4. Maintain the rhythm of breathing
5. Listen to fast beat music!
I couldn’t get any music player like mp3. My Nokia phone was broken and can only play music in one-side of earphone. Another one cannot be played. Actually I was very sad that Zhen Hong, my roommate refused to borrow his i-pod to me. So, I run with my mobile phone, which was playing music loudly. I was quite not satisfied with today performance. This time, I was very LAZY. Many people overtook me, I was not spiritual as the run beforejust let them overtook me. The saddest thing was, I rested so frequent. In the end, I finished 7.3km in 43minutes 5 seconds and 76 milliseconds (43:05:75) and got number 44. Only the top 20 has medal… T.T

My number and my comrade-in-arms (Nokia Express Music)
‘M’ for Melacca! KMM gang rock!
My KMM gang, I was very happy to see you all in here. Yoke Yin, as usual, a good and consistent runner, this time I think she did the best, number 10! But alas, Swee Ching, was a good runner also in MMC, was no doing well in this running event. Taking Yoke Yin’s medal in hand, my mind had made it clear. I want to fight for top 20 in next year!
My next year target- tenth!!!


Something unhappy happened. Our girl top runner in College seventeenth, Michelle, who was the second girl reached to the ending point, was disqualified. We were so curious. Our facilitator, Firdaus helped her to ask for the reason. The organiser gave an answer: “second, third and fourth runners didn’t run for a slope.” The problem is, there is no fingerpost or even university assistance in that junction! Michelle didn’t know the path of this running event. She had no intention to cheat. How could they disqualify the contestant just like this? It made people angry. Furthermore, they put their blaming finger to MPP even exasperated us. They said that it was not their fault. It was because of other teams didn’t plan well. Hey, they passed the buck to other. Then, I'm sure that the other pass the buck to another…

Michelle cried. Her effort didn’t get paid. After this, I just knew that she is national long-distance-running athlete. Sigh, that’s one of the reasons why our talented and qualified people don’t prefer to stay in here. Our own country doesn’t appreciate contribution from them. Other countries use lucrative monetary return and fair system as their attraction. That why our graduates or top scholars practise their profession not in our country. I hope earnestly that this kind of incident won’t happen again.

First boy runner in medic first year-eleventh in this running event!

1. You see,Mr. Blame looked so ‘innocent’!

1. Our pitiful Michelle, please don’t cry. In our heart, you still win the run!

Yee Ser and Hui Wen ran back in the same time. Yee Ser got 489th but Hui Wen got nothing. We all queued in a line in order to get number. Since girls queued in a very long line. However, the numbers were limited. They all cut line and behave underbred to fight for number. Especially to the last ten number (490-500th ). We could see all girl contestant s surround the university assistance and snatch the numbers. It was totally ugly and ill-mannered.
Thanks Yee Ser for accompanying me to go hospital for lunch. So sorry, because hospital is far and expensive. Yee Ser, a typical type of girl, the cashier charged her until 9 ringgits although only a lunch with a cup of plain water! However, we had a nice talk. You told me that you have some health problem , I feel so sad. Really hope that I can help.

Modern dance starts to practise. So, buddies, Let’s dance tonight! Ring Ding Dong…Ring Ding Dong

My old assignment- BEAUTIFUL AND UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES IN KMM


BEAUTIFUL AND UNFORGETTABLE

MEMORIES IN KMM

Here, my matric life began.

Here, the first time I started to live independently.

Here, I had to study without tuition on my own.

Here, I gained freedom of doing what I want to do.

Here, I met all types of person.

Here, I met all my sincere friends and kind lectures.

Here, I celebrated my birthdaty first time with friends.

Here, I made Pesta Kebudayaan a success.

Here, I scored 4.00 pointer in PSPM1.

Here, I learned a lot of things.

Here, I felt extremely stressed because of PSPM2.

Here, I grew stronger and mature.

Here, is KMM.


Although one year programme is short,

but memories in here is 'unlimited'.


I think, perhaps, I will miss matriculation life.



CAFE A,B&C
(FOOD PARADISE)

CAFE A is near to block A (girls hostel) whereas

CAFE C is near to block C (boys hostel).


However, CAFE B is intermediate.

Therefore, many couples prefer dating in CAFE B to

enjoy their romantic dinner.

Furthermore, if u want to know friends in opposite sex better,

CAFE B is among the best choices.


All the cafes in KMM prepare delicious and clean food

everyday

and the prices are cheap and reasonable.


Sometimes, we celebrate birthday and banquet in here, cafe.

We come to CAFE not only to fulfill our stomach, but also to

gossip.


LIBRARY

Cold air conditioner, abundant information, quiet and well-studying.

Yes, it is the KMM Library.

I used to spend time in here.

To get knowledge and news,

I also can surf internet by using service provided by library in the Cybernet.

LIBRARY helped me a lot in my academic.

I always get my answer in here rather than finding lecturers.

Study is fun.

Library is just like a playground for the booklovers.




KMM LONDANG ROAD

I remembered my first day in KMM.
My father drove the car in this ROAD,
kept searching,
where is 'bilik banquet'? where is C4-4-12?

Now, this road became so familiar.
I won't got lost in this road again.

I love to jog.
This is the road that I always jog in the evening or morning.

My mind flashed back to the days before LARIAN KAKOM.
I was so desirous to get a number.
So, I trained in 4.00 am when everyone still slumbered in sweet dream.
I woke up, bent to tie my shoelace nicely.
RAN for at least 30 minits on this road.
I had heard a lot of ghost stories.
I actually afraid and fear.
My hair stand on end,
Cold air and extraordinary silence sent chills up my spine.
At last, I got nombor 41 in Larian Kakom.

This KMM Londang Road
was poured with my sweat.

It is part of my stories.




TUTORIAL ROOM
In weekdays morning,

it is a classroom.

Lecturers are culturing their students with knowledge.

We are serious in that time.


In contrast, when it comes to evening or night,

the seriousness of TUTORIAL ROOM gone.

We, as long as students of KMM,

can enter any tutorial room.

Some of us are doing homework,

Some of us are having a chet-chat,

Some of us are having a nap,

Some of us are celebrating out

special days.


My memory in Tutorial room is unforgettable.

This is the first time that my friends prepare a birthday party for me in my entire 18 years,

I was really touched.

Thank you, my dear friends.

Stories happened in tutorial room are numerous.

NO EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.

Some stories are happy,

Some stories are not.


Melacca Matriculation College,

The most meaningful and unforgettable memory in part of my life.





Squash and Star story

Squash is a racquet sport played by two players (or four players for doubles) in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. Squash is recognized by the IOC and remains in contention for incorporation in a future Olympic program


I don’t know is it worth or not. I chose squash as my cocurriculum. In my college 17 (the furthest hostel) of UPM, everyone picked cocurriculum which is located in there. There are only tennis, volleyball, taekwondo, bola jarring, and bakti siswa. None of them is my interest. Since this is my only university’s life, I don’t want to choose the sport that is not my interest. I don’t care other said ‘life will be busy’, ‘every sport is the same, we learnt only soft skill’, ‘need to wake up early to catch bus (that’s true)’ and so on. I am so determined to pick squash.

First day, I was late. Bus had gone. Luckily, seniors in K17 were willing to help me. They was very kind and fetched me till the front door of sport complex! As it was early, I went to toilet to set my hair.


My facilitator is Encik Junaidi. Luckily, I have a friend and also my previous school senior called Nyuk Ling. She helped me a lot and introduced some of her coursemate to me. The first class was boring with ice-breaking session. In this session, I could recognise some people’s faces who performed in the Zhong Hwa’s night. One is the drama’s main character, named Wei Ying. Second is modern dancer and also helped me to find the way when I got lost, named Si Min. All the undergraduates who are in my class are Seniors, no one is first year student except me. I am also the one who lived in K17 (the furthest hostel in UPM). So proud~~ haha… I m so narcisstic.

In the last 20 minutes, so happy I had a chance to play squash for a while with Xiang Lin (I think that I remembered wrongly, so sorry). She is much better than me. I enjoyed that moment.

After back to my college, I met an university assistance. He said our college is lacking of squash players. Furthermore, I can represent our K17 in the inter-college competition. Wah… I m not good at it at all and I just learnt squash in Melacca Matriculation College. Previously, I just played for fun. He takes my name, matrix number and contact number. What will I be? How will the squash links to my story? All is still remain as an unknown.

Squash, I like it, because it is the most stress-released indoor sport activity. No need to swear under the hot sun. We can hit the small elastic black squash ball with all our anger and strength to the wall. The wall still stand still (of course la!). After we release all the anger, then sure can feel better. In addition, playing squash needs a lot of skills and tactics to win. BUT that is for higher level, I m still a newbies!

Squash is fun. Try while you can. Believe me, you cannot hit back the ball after it bounces in your first time .
