When I first planned to apply for Masters, I did plan to apply for GRA or GRF. But then, I was too late for the GRF application and there was no research going on for GRA.
What does GRA and GRF stands for? GRA is Graduate Research Assistant Scholarship while GRF is Graduate Research Fellowship. Both get a monthly allowance of RM1500 per month with their semester fees subsided. The difference is that GRA does research AND tutoring, while GRF only does tutoring.
So, as I went to talk to a few Dr.s about my research topic, I did inquire if they were looking for any research assistants. But at that time, 2 of the Dr.s were waiting for the approval. Yet, I wasn't expecting that they'll find me back.
To my surprise...one of the Dr. did call me and offered me to be her research assistant. And the awesome part is...it will be under the S-GRA, which stands for Special Graduate Research Allowance. This scheme is where I work as a full-time research assistant without any tutoring. And the other awesome part is, I'm being paid RM1500 per month. PLUS, the expenses for my research will be fully covered under this scheme. Isn't it a miracle??
Although I have to work 5 days a week from 8am to 5pm, I think it will be a wonderful experience. Of course I'd probably have to stop working at the tuition centre where I'm kinda attached to the kids there already, yet, my initial desire to be a RA is not only achieved but more than what I expected. I'll be travelling as well to other states including Sabah and Sarawak.
All glory goes to God though. He does know what is in my heart and He will provide a way for me no matter what...as long as it is accordingly to His plan. Can't wait to start working under Dr. Rozumah. >.<
What Seems To Be The Problem?
Saying sorry will not be enough..
Coz the damage is done..
To both parties..
The repel force is even stronger..
Than the attract force..
Both repeling like both are same side of a magnet..
As tiring as it is..
The mind grows weak..
The heart grows weaker..
Giving up seems to be a good option..
An option no one wants..
But the possible solution..
What seems to be the cause?
What seems to be the solution?
More so..what seems to be the problem?

SICK SICK SICK!!!
I've been sick for the last 3 days since Tuesday. Developed a fever which slowly increased day by day till it almost reached the danger level of 40 degree celcius. Good thing last night my sis bought the cool fever pack and put it on my forehead. The temperature went down quite fast.
Yet, I'm still feeling very weak. No one here knows how to really take care of a sick patient. I wish I was back at home with my dad around to take care of me. He would give me his full attention. Miss having him by my side when I'm sick.
Now, I'm so hungry. Waiting for the porridge to become softer. Sweetie is sleeping like a log. Told him I'm hungry yet he just continue sleep. Aigh...so weak yet have to slowly cook porridge on my own.
Hope I can recover soon.

Life of Pretense
So much for the YAY??!! Four days have just passed and I'm starting to feel drowned..drowned in my own sorrow of self-pity in this life of pretense..or is it real?
This entire week seems to pass by so fast that I can hardly breathe and relax. One event after another..choices to be made..AGAIN...and the self that keeps splitting and finds no union.
I can't complain much as I do feel blessed with what that has been going on and the people around me. It's not that I'm unsatisfied...YET, the spirit is really down. Time to ponder yet the flesh is weak.
Is this the life that I want? Is this how I want my life to be? I do have a choice..to walk away from it..or..to face it. In the past, I would walk away. In fact, RUN. But, being in a committed relationship has taught me to stay strong and face whatever circumstances that may pass my way.
Just a thought..what will the world be if everyone were to live a life of pretense the whole time? Think about it. Everyone will not be their true self. They can be who ever they can pretend to be. There'll be so many duplicates of hannah montana, michael jackson, and all the other famous artist. Scary isn't it?!
I'm glad that I am who I am. Though there are times I wish I was someone else, I'm glad that there's only one of me whom He created. A unique individual that keeps learning from her mistakes.

Beginning of August 2009
It's the beginning of August..YAY!! I totally love the month of August. Those who know me will know why >.<
Anyway, life has been pretty tiring. Every weekday morning, I've got to wake up early to send yk to the LRT station for training..but I'm glad it's over.
Besides, I'm working as a part-time tuition teacher now..or is it permanent? Tuesday, Thursday and Friday night working for 3 hours and on Saturday for 6.5 hours. I do love the kids there. Getting attached to one of them known as Yong Feng. He's also attached to me already. Only want me to teach him. He's 6 years old by the way. Will upload his picture when the connection here is better.
NEWS!! UPM CLOSED FOR A WEEK DUE TO H1N1!!
Is that good news or bad news? It doesn't really affect me though since the week falls on the week that I do not have classes. >.<>.<
Okie dokie..stomach is growling. Going to find some snacks to munch.. ADIOS!!
