Last weekend was the day my inner child died a little.

Canceled Yosemite trip because I needed the the time to work on CS. 2nd time Yosemite trip fail.

Nvm... CS is pretty impressive although it's a shite load of work. I would say >SLE. lol

CS takes over my mornings+nights+weekends+LIFE.

Not good/not used to this thinking... yet.

Late nights+sleepless nights+have to be very very careful not to kena expel coz CS very easy kena plagiarism.

So much for loving computers.

Kan baik dunia ini tiada peperiksaan? Boleh saya belajar dengan aman dan gembira.

Summer 09

The summary of my summer:

-3/4 of it will go to computer programming. Java+MATLAB+0 programming experience+little logical thinking=no sleep or fail.

-The rest of it will be split to SEALnet Thailand and just going home, see my family and friends, sleep and eat.

-No more summer classes next year. I need to either
a)summer research
b)secure an internship-do what? (still dunno =( ) (but most probably not going to be Malacca... more like KL or somewhere else? maybe work for start up here? dunno la still so far away... )

-that's why la sibuk sibuk take programming now. Seems like a vital skill to have now...

Unfortunately, no option c for me! Sophomore d next year!!!!

SEALnet Thailand! Donation very much appreciated!

Hi dear readers!

This summer, I'll be working with a team of college students planning for a service project on active learning in Tesabaan 5 Jr. High School in Lampang, Thailand. We hope to increase learning motivation and solve the rote-memorization learning problem through 3 main components: active classes, leadership, and library renovation. We will equip students not only with active learning and critical-thinking skills, but empower them to be future community leaders in solving community issues. Tesabaan 5 is a municipal school that serves as a pilot school illustrating the success of active learning with our project.

I myself have been spoon fed by the teachers throughout my school years. It is only after arriving in US that I found out how behind I was in terms of critical thinking skills. I'm sure many of you who has gone down this path would want to see some change. We'd love to have your support. Any amount of donations, $1, $100, RM1, RM50, 100 baht would make a difference in the local students' lives, and the teachers.

To find out more about the project and/or donate, please visit

Please put Project Thailand as the Donation Target. And do contact me at tanmeiyueh@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Thank you very much for making a difference in the kids' lives! =)

I just met/chatted with the nicest professor ever. =) Sociology professors are great! I guess all that studying about human makes one more approachable. LOL. Told me to explore in my first 2 years, then later only narrow down and really nail it on what I want to do. Makes me happy and sad.

I know... that's ideally how the American education system works. Just not me. I have to constantly remind myself why I am here; that contract back home that's signed.

I'm what Rousseau says: every man is free within the boundaries of societies. I might have not been so problematic had I not taken SLE.

Sigh. Funny eh? My ang mo friend told me: "I don't see why you've to take all the boring classes. Why do you take that class when you don't like it?"

Bo mian pia la... there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. It's a good trade after all... at least that's what I always tell myself.
