SY's Colourful diary，彩色日记

During the 3rd weekend, we went to Bukit tinggi in the evening. We had steamboat as dinner and they play truth or dare for the whole night while I was sleeping. I missed a lot of interesting happenings and their secrets. But i had a good sleep. haha..

The next day, we went to Genting. This was my first time buying First world indoor tickets and played bumper cars, motion master, boats...and so on.

I am too busy nowadays and always forget to keep my blog updated. This is my 3rd week back in Malaysia, I having a good time here with friends. We have plans for every weekend. The first weekend was my dear's house party, second weekend was the Gopeng Trip, third weekend was bukit tinggi and Genting trip and 4th weekend is karaoke days, 5th weekend will be Malacca eating trip ( everyone is welcome, bring money and mouth only), 6th weekend is the last weekend before my dear leaves, and have no plan yet.

This blog is about Gopeng Trip, 16 people going, all are ming sheng's friends. During the trip, we had a lot of fun. First activity was waterfall abseiling. This is my first time doing waterfall abseiling, I was worried and scared because the Cliff is quite high and the water is quite strong. It was quite easy and not that scary while abseiling. This activity is costly and not really worth, but we had fun together.


We had a nigh jungle tracking, the trail was not easy to hike because it was a new route. When we walked across the palm oil plantation, we were asked to turn off our torch light. We walked in the dark with hand holding. This is to avoid snakes. The first part of the walk was really difficult but the light-off part was quite challenging.


At night, we played charades. We plit into 2 groups and compete with one another. Some words are really hard to guess and hard to act such as prenuptial agreement, ABC and Barak Obama. Some words are interesting and funny, such as internet porn, pontianak，佛山无影脚。


The next day, we had 3 hours of white water rafting. The river is quite rocky and the water is rapidly flow. However, the water level is not high on that day, our raft was stuck at the rocky places. We went home after lunch. This trip is fun and remind me of time of the National Service's .

After 7 days of self quarantined since we came back from Canada, we held a bbq party at dear's place to meet his friends and have fun together. I was supposed a project manager for this party. Unfortunately, I was fired and became a "Food Manager" because I had lost all contacts and failed to ask people come over to the party. Luckily the BOSS (my dear) did the job well and about 20 over friends come over to the party.

As a food manager, I did not do my job well too. It is because I do not know what food normally eat during bbq. I prepared corn and zucchini, but end up nobody actually appreciated them. HAHA..I did not know how to estimate the amount of food, I have prepared 50 pieces of chicken wings but only 30 of them are used. However, the party was quite successful, I think most of us had fun while bbqing, karaoking, mah-jonging, and drinking.

When I first enrolled the summer classes, many of my friends said I am crazy because I was enrolling 4 classes in summer term, which is in 2 months basis. I was wondering whether I could manage it, because I want to score good grades for all courses. Since, I am taking a minor degree in Nutrition, I have to take 3 nutrition course in the summer. I was worried about the difference, the difficulty and so on. Finally, the results are out, I am quite satisfied with it.

HNSC 1200 : Food- facts and fallacies = A+
HNSC 1210 : Nutrition for Health and Changing Lifestyles = A
HNSC 2140 : Basic Principles of Human Nutrition = A
PHIL 1290 : Critical Thinking = A


In HNSC 1200 : Food- facts and fallacies, I learnt things that I learnt. This course was about food chemistry, food microbiology, food safety and food analysis. Since I have taken a full course of those, this course is very easy to me. I score 98.5% in my midterm. This is my first A + in UOM. Hopefully I can get more A+.

HNSC 1210 : Nutrition for Health and Changing Lifestyles. The title of the course explains what the course about. I have learnt a lot of useful information from this course. I knew about all the macro and micronutrients. Memorised the food sources, usefulness and toxicity of all vitamins and minerals. Therefore, I can apply the knowledge in my life and change my lifestyles into a healthy one.

HNSC 2140 : Basic Principles of Human Nutrition. I love this course the most for this term. It is a very challenging course. Before taking the course, many students from nutrition faculty said it is a killer course. After I gone through the syllabus, I already feel interested. I learnt something very different from food. This course is all about the body metabolism, applying all the metabolic pathway like creb cycles, glycolysis, gluconeogenesis and others. After taking the course, I knew how the macro and micronutrients being metabolised in our body, and how our body adapt to different states of fastening.

PHIL 1290: Critical Thinking. This is another challenging course, because this course requires a lot of thinking and skills. I think I have learnt something very useful, it allows me to improve my understanding towards the texts and easily identify the fallacies made by authors. It was a tough course, I was so happy to get A for this course.
