Last year of Degree

Classes started few weeks ago, and by next week I have four assignments to pass up.

The timetable is disrupting my eating habits, the classes are draining me out causing me to pick up sleeping inconsistencies. Basically, as soon as I reach home (usually with bad migrain), I will immediately go to my bed and sleep. I will usually wake up at about 8 something, and doesn't get hungry because I had tea-break at around 3pm.

So I wake up feeling confused on whether or not I should eat dinner and do my work. I will eventually not eat dinner, use the laptop until late at night, and then feel hungry.

That's what I mean by disrupting my mealtimes! :(

I've tried changing my daily routine the past few days since sleeping late and waking up early is never productive to me no matter how many of my friends are able to do it ; I just can't. I have been trying to stay awake after class and making sure I eat my dinners, drain myself until I'm really out of my battery and sleep before 12am, so that I can wake up - refreshed!

I'm currently in my last year of Degree which means I'll be working next year. I cannot believe I've been in Taylor's College for 4 years now, studying in this field I love the most. Sure there are things about this field I wish to be changed, but perfect is boring.

Advertising has been tiring. We've been watching way too many advertisements for our own good. Some are funny, some are just plain nonsensical. We have to breath and see advertising, making sure we take chances in analysing the advertisements whenever we can.

Despite all I've said, I love my university life, I know I'll miss it, and it's an experience like no other.

So ladies, and gentlemen - It's cool to stay in school! :)

Love,
Jacqueline Rowena @ Jacqkie.

But speaking of advertising....that's the fun part...of it....especially with the creatives in the creative department of an agency....to get an idea...you have to be fun, crazy...and yet do things that will spark that flame....and yea....we do eat, sleep and breath advertising....it's basically our life.....hehehehehehehhe
Daryl: hey daryl, what comments you have! thank you! you are right about the friends turning to foe part. It's not easy being friends with everyone, you have to have similarities and whatnot to be able to stick in one group.

As for graduating, believe me when I say this, no matter when you graduate - you'll definitely have a different mindset about life :)

Jackie>> Sometimes it's more than not "not easy being friends with everyone..."....At times u may know as well as mix with certain people from different intakes....and it isn't neccesary always the simillarities in interest...all that can change as well...especially when it comes to group assignments....like Comm Project Management....and that's where it all starts....the accusations, finger pointing...,the fights, personal conflicts....as well as the disagreements with friends....in terms of graduating....that's true...your mindset would mature....and often look at life from a different perspective....as compared to life in high school....

Pulau Sapi @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Parks

Before I proceed to my write up on Pulau Sapi, let me do the duty to carefully explain to you why there are so many people talking about so many islands at the mention of the word, Sabah. Reason why I'm doing so is because whenever people visit KK City, they have very limited time in exploring most of the natural gorgeous attractions, and sometimes ended up just moving around KK City. And when one does that, people would usually end up asking, why are there so many mentions of islands when we get to experience none?  As you can see from the previous Matthew Paul map below; Sabah is situated close to top north of the Borneo Island. That said, it's a privilege to say that tons of islands are under the local towns and cities surrounding the shores of this particular part of Borneo island. From Sipitang (look out from South left), imagine yourself  "walking" from the Sipitang's shore / beach walk up slowly to Menumbuk, Kuala Penyu, Pulau Tiga, Kota Kinabalu, Tun

Pulau Mantanani // Mantanani Island

I started off my 10 day break with a day trip to Mantanani. I wanted to visit Mantanani for THE LONGEST TIME, but couldn’t get around doing so all these while, either I haven’t saved up enough or basically, just haven’t got the weekends to spare it with.   Some folks call it the mermaid island because of the dugong sightings underwater – which is seriously magical. Some folks even say you could catch a glimpse of dolphins. They’ve had photos with it, but I personally have never seen them before.  Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to share with you why this trip was important.    If you see the map above, I’ve yellow squared Mantanani Island in comparison to the journey from Kota Kinabalu. If you’re not a map kind of person, that is --- quite far. Not Sipadan (Tawau, Sandakan, Lahad Datu kind of far) but far enough to be a put off to some locals at times. Previously, you’d have to drive up north for approximately 1.5 hours, or take a bus to Kota Belud, to
