Dreams(?)

Updating second phase of UPU reached it's deadline yesterday. I hope I would get the course that I honestly want.

Forensic Science.

How I get myself passionate about this course?

Well, it all started with reading crime based novels. Every time I go to a bookstore, MPH for example, I will always look for the word 'death' or 'kill' when I read the synopsis, book covers with thrilling look and title that gives me the mysterious aura. Out of all the books that I bought and read, 'Through Violet Eyes' is my favourite.

Synopsis:

 In a world where the dead can testify against the living, someone is getting away with murder. Because to every generation are born a select few souls with violet-colored eyes, and the ability to channel the dead. Both rare and precious—and rigidly controlled by a society that craves their services—these Violets perform a number of different duties. The most fortunate increase the world's cultural heritage by channeling the still-creative spirits of famous dead artists and musicians. The least fortunate aid the police and the law courts, catching criminals by interviewing the deceased victims of violent crime.

But now the Violets themselves have become the target of a brutal serial murderer—a murderer who had learned how to mask his or her identity even from the victims. Can the FBI, aided by a Violet so scared of death that she is afraid to live, uncover the criminal in time? Or must more of her race be dispatched to the realm that has haunted them all since childhood?
There are sequels to this book.

With Red Hands


From Black Rooms

In Golden Blood
I went to MPH lots of time to find these sequels but I could not find any. Then, it means that these books are only available in Kinokuniya. (my own conclusion)
When I stayed with my grandparents in Putrajaya, I started to like crime shows. That was because they had channel 732, CI Crime&Investigation. That channel is pack with lots and lots of crime series from all over the world. Now I'm not staying in Putrajaya with them, I couldn't watch it. Sad :(
But then I found out in National Geographic, they have this show called 'Forensic First'. It depicts how crime technology had evolved. Pretty interesting.

Then I began watching CSI to ease my boredom and most importantly to keep my passion going on and on.

That was briefly how I like this course so much. I applied to UKM for this course,Bachelor of Forensic Science.

Unfortunately, when I did research about forensic science in Malaysia, some say that forensic science graduate must become a police first. Now where did I read it from? Wait.

Here's one. And another one here.

Reading this, it automatically put me down. Not because I don't want to be a police. But the qualifications. Qualifications put me down bunch of time. I hate you.

I think interest should be put first, then qualifications come in. I mean, take this for example, someone may qualify to be, say a doctor, but is that his/her interest? He/She may be forced by their parents to take that course. Now when this happen, what do people with so much passion would feel when they are not chosen for the course they really love just because they don't fit the qualifications?

Something need to be fixed here.

final sem result #2

Remember I said my sem 2 result would come out on the 5th of June? Well, it was postponed to today. Checked my result.

I'm just thankful to God that I improved even if it's not 4.0 but it was much better than I expected I would get.

Thank you also to my Biology lecturer, Mr Tee. Adeline and I  got scolded by him few times but I thought it was a blessing. I never thought I would say this but I LOVE BIO thanks to Mr Tee. I feel thankful to my lecturers in Sem 2 for their hard work. And for mine too. I showed up in MP a lot more than when I was in Sem 1.

I think what people say is true. If you have a close bond with your teacher and you respect them, whatever they teach you or do to you will be a blessing for you. The power of respect. Lol I think Sir Ding should lecture about 'respect' too haha. I miss him so much. I miss all of my lecturers throughout my life in KML.

BP5T27 with lecturers, lecture (mostly).
From top to bottom with Sir Ding (Math lecture), Sir Farid (Chemistry tutorial), Miss Tah (Chemistry lecture) & Sir Pek (Physic lecture and tutorial).

We ONLY did not take picture with Mr Tee. Scared. Nobody asked to take a picture with him during his last lecture. But it's ok tho. Just hearing him wishing us the best luck is more than enough.

final sem result

Tomorrow.
A day which will decide my future.
Freaking 5th June 2013.

PSPM RESULT OHMYGOODNESSGOODLORDHOPEFULLYTHERESULTISGOOD 0__0

My PSPM Sem 1 result wasn't very satisfying. I got more than 3.0 pointer. I wished to get 4.0 or 3.9 at least but it was still a very big gap to my pointer. With that, I came to my realisation that I SHOULD'VE studied EARLIER, in the beginning. But there's no point of regretting when clearly it was because I was lazy to study, copying others' tutorials and lab reports. And most importantly, time only moves forward. :(

Good luck to me and KMLians 2012/2013 for the deadly tomorrow.
