As most Malaysians know, McD is now giving away a BIG treat of FREE BIG MAC!!! In order to get a FREE BIG MAC, all you need to do is to read the following phrase in 4 SECONDS!!
Two all-beef patties,
Special sauce, lettuce,
cheese, pickles, onions
on a sesame seed bun.
After the tournament on last Saturday, my friends had decided to take this challenge.. The first thing that crossed my mind was, "how could that be possible?? ONLY 4 seconds are given!!".. Without trying, i told myself that, "No way, you're not going to make it".. Looking at my friends who are practicing & trying, they DID it in just 2 seconds plus!! From that moment I was thinking that, "Alright, why not you give a try too.. No harm trying right?".. I then borrowed the small coupon from them and started practicing, not too bad, i did it in 3 seconds plus.. Before reaching the nearest McD outlet, we all keep on practicing non-stop.. Oh well, we all are ACTUALLY taking this challenge so SERIOUSLY than our studies.. =P And yup, we all that have tried did managed to get a FREE BIG MAC in just 2-3 seconds.. BRAVO girls!! ^_^
All this while, i've been telling myself that my stamina is TOO BAD.. I need to improve.. YES i do.. But how?? It's either swim or run.. Yesterday night i decided to swim in my uni as that could probably be my last time to swim before going home.. Before i started swimming, i told myself, "you MUST at least swim for 5 laps, MUST!!".. Everytime i swim across from one end to another, i need to rest for a bit and take a breath.. What to do, my stamina is REAL BAD.. Sigh.. But i'm very glad that i DID managed to FORCE myself to swim for 5 laps(100m??).. ~~so happy~~ Anyway, i don't think this is good enough.. I do hope that i can do better next time; 10 laps maybe?? Hopefully i can.. :)
For those who know me very well, they'd know that i'm actually very LOW in confidence.. Although i do look "tough" physically, but mentally, i'm VERY WEAK.. I'd get nervous or give up easily, and that's my biggest failure during tournaments.. Sigh.. Oh YES, i do need improvement on this.. And what i need to do is to challenge myself more; set a target and force myself to accomplish that.. To be frank, it does help as i believe that:
Challenge builds courage,
And courage builds confidence,
With confidence we bring success.
For those who are just as LOW confidence as me, DO NOT give up.. Take the challenge, take the risk, believe in yourself and be proud of what you are capable of.. Trust me, a little bit of improvement could brings you a better life for tomorrow.. ^.^

Battle LOST!!!!
Oh well, just another "let down" for badminton tournament.. My team and i went to UCSI early in the morning.. We reached there at 8am in order to register for our team.. Since our game was going to start at 10am, we had "dim sum" for breakfast before the match started..
UCSI was the organiser for this tournament and also our "enemies" for the first match.. Before the match started, we were wondering, "where are the players for UCSI? Are they still having 'secret' training at else where or something?".. About 20mins before the match, they finally arrived.. And guess what, their girls are real GOOD!! As for our team, our guys are REAL GOOD too...but the girls (including me), i think ALL of us were too nervous and i do think that we are not as good as the opponents.. In the end, we were defeated in our Women Singles, Women Doubles and Mixed Doubles, in other word, we LOST!! Sorry guys, i know it was our fault.. Sigh..
For the second match, our opponents are from HICT.. This team has ONLY one girl which is GOOD and the guys are of course, not as good as our team's.. And yup, we WON!! But no matter how, we're still losing.. In order to get into semi finals, each team has to be the champion out of 3 teams..
Anyway, it was a good experience seeing that we were the FIRST team representing the University of Nottingham Malaysia.. haha.. And i believe that for next year, we are definitely going to perform way better than this.. In order to WIN, what we need are good team management, proper and more frequent trainings, communications among the guys and girls, and also CONFIDENCE!!! Nott's badminton team, i've faith in you, we CAN DO IT!!! ^.^

***Pissed Off***
Sometimes, people tend to say the wrong thing at a wrong time (not intentionally maybe?) or do stupid things, which then lead to unnecessary dispute. Some people agree that dispute only happens because you care and you love each other. This is quite true, in a sense that you won’t even want to bother with people that you’re not even close with. But in other hand, it also creates much more misunderstanding if things are not settled in a proper way. Well, I can only say, reading people’s mind is a big knowledge. In fact, no one can afford to please everybody else, neither do I.
I hardly ever get pissed off at people because I really hate dispute (unless if there are ridiculous things happen on me). At most, I’ll get angry for a day or maybe just a few minutes or few hours. Remain silence is what I always do so that dispute don’t get worse. By doing this, people won’t know what their problems are (which is a bad thing here). But somehow, I’d rather you find out what your problem is, than me telling to you. The reason for this is, I respect you as a knowledgeable person and I aspect you to think of that. To be frank, I really respect people that understand their faults and try their best to make improvements. These people are rather mature and are actually giving themselves a room for growth. I RESPECT you people that have such character.
Too bad, not everyone has such character. Recently, there is a VERY ridiculous “person” doing ridiculous things to me. Didn’t you know that YOU ARE pissing me off so badly?!?! I really think I have to clarify it AGAIN here because that “person” doesn’t seem to understand my language. I do understand that some people like privacy and refuse to reveal their real identity to the public. I seriously don’t mind if you’re using a nickname. But for god sake, you’re illegally using my name and my friend’s name to leave messages in our “chatbox”!!! What’s your intention?!?! I really DON’T understand!!! Can YOU tell me WHY?!?!?! If YOU ARE reading this now, I just want to tell you that I roughly know who you are. For this moment, I don’t have any concrete evidence to shoot you. And my final words to you is, you better STOP doing this because it really irritating, annoying and pissing me off!!! Be more mature OK??
