Old stuff Younger self

Inspired by Santi's post about our old younger self, this one is for u. and Cyril too! (cyril read this and then click my nuff huh =D) This is us back in 2010 when we were young and free, very young.

Our first and last yakult. coz it tastes horrible.

now that i am reminded of my young self, one thing I can conclude is, gosh Cyril, u look thin. OMG! OK,kidding. but seriously. you are skinnier back then.

Ok, back to serious topic, back in 2010, mark the first year of our journey or should I say "adventure" here in IPG Ipoh. We were gullible, innocent, naïve and immature. All things seem new to us. That year also marked the first time we were away from our family, separated by land and sea for a certain period of time.  Meeting new friends, doing new things, adapting new environment was never my cup of tea. I’ve been in my comfort zone for too long that coping with new things seem a burden to me. I remember back then, I cried every night. My parents called me every day. I guess my parents were worried (and still is) because I was the first in my family to further studies far away from home and the fact that I am a girl myself make them worry more.  So I guess I was immature back then. VERY immature.

But I’m glad I was surrounded by nice people. I often heard about bullying happens in a new place, but I guess it didn't happen to me cause all my classmate are NICE people! (Even though the first two weeks was awkward and shit. So many people with different background and stuff, how am I supposed to cope with everything! But that was then.) And I’m glad I have two Sabahan friends who I regard as angel sent by God, one is you Santi because I know you since kindergarten, like forever and of course Cyril because he is just *Cyril.

*explanation for “Cyril” term = Someone who is willing to help others regardless of their difficulty. Someone who is raised as responsible person. Someone who is a good friend. Someone who is generous in terms of money aka BANK. 

lots of love

Learning styles, everyone has one.

What is learning styles? According to what I read (read study *cough*) from Edu PPG notes, 

learning styles refers to the psychological traits of students in processing, interpreting, collect information on knowledge and skills and in turn reacts with its environment.

 Nuff said.

I have friend who prefers to study on their own, others like to study in group, studying in a quiet and calm place and many others styles. You name it. I, for one, like to study while listening to music. I don’t remember who ask me this before “can you really study while listening music? Doesn't it distract you?” my answer, a simple “DON’T KNOW”. It’s a habit and old habits die hard you see.

I have this habit where every time I eat in my room (here in campus), it is a must to have something to watch, whether it is a movie or drama. Mostly, it’s a Korean drama though. I cannot eat without this thing accompany me. It’s the same at home. Now, I know, it’s a bad habit, but again old habits die hard bro.  

So back to the topic, I like to listen to music while studying, I just do. Even if it means distracting my study. But did you know that listening to music can actually help in your study. Hah! This is what I got from certain website, quote “English, Drama or Art students listen to emotive rock and pop music. ‘Songs like Katy Perry’s Firework and I Can’t Get No (Satisfaction) by The Rolling Stones produce a heightened state of excitement that is likely to enhance creative performance.” ah huh! who would ever thought that huh. 

But like I said, everyone has their own learning styles. If you are like me, who likes to listen to songs while studying, study when there's only one week before exam, watching movies and drama leisurely when you know you still haven’t cover almost ALL (ALL, like 90%) the topics for the exam, telling other people you want to study when in fact what you did is the opposite, download dramas and movies and TV series, sleeps more than you should be, don’t worry buddy, 

You Are Not Alone. High Five buds!   

exactly

Lots of studying need to be done,
