I have finally graduated! It took a little longer. However I must say that every moment in these years have not been bad.<br />
<br />
My Graduation was on the 17th October. I don't know what to expect initially. I was pretty surprised that everyone take one of the highlight day in life so seriously when I was quite chill about it. Nonetheless when I was in DTC, our very famous university hall. It all begins here and it has to end here too. I was really nervous when I was about to get on the stage to receive my scroll. It was actually more nail biting than all my competition.<br />
<br />
Another highlight of the year is winning Asian Champion for netball, male category. Participants comprised of Singapore, Hong Kong, Brunei, India, Pakistan and of course Malaysia! As the host, it wouldn't be nice to not qualify for the final. Every country has to play against every team. Top two teams would play in the final. Third and fourth would play for bronze. As for the team that are placed fifth and sixth would play for fifth place.<br />
<br />
We drew in our first game. India was good. Their advantage is their size. Once their Goal Shooter get the ball, it is as good as getting the point. Their Goal Keeper is trained to block shot. I had to keep my cool in order to score every shot.<br />
<br />
When we were playing against Brunei, Singapore and Hong Kong, we played well and managed to win those games. Same for team India and Pakistan, they won all those games too. When Pakistan and India met, they both played well. However Pakistan got lucky in the end and won the game by just a mere one point. Hence it has to go down to the game when Malaysia play Pakistan in the final round of the qualifying stage.<br />
<br />
When we were playing against Pakistan, we were nervous. We know very well that we cannot afford to lose this game. We certainly don't want to miss out the championship game. We won this game. However I wasn't too pleased. I am sure that they lost the game on purpose. They chose Malaysia to be their opponent in the championship round.<br />
<br />
I don't feel right after the game. Coach is fully aware of the situation. She told me not to be bothered as we have to prepare to face them in the final. I know the only way I will feel right is to defeat Pakistan in the final.<br />
<br />
We were down by five in the first quarter. I told myself to ignore the score. When the ball gets to my hand, I just have to make sure I score. After the second quarter, we managed to catch up and level on points. The game was closed throughout the second half and the game was brought into extra time. Fortunately Malaysia managed to score a goal more to win the championship.<br />
<br />
My twenty sixteen ended well. I met her. She gave me an opportunity. We got into a relationship 😊hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-64002422119405557492015-12-31T15:33:00.000-08:002015-12-30T23:34:25.800-08:00UnexpectedFive years ago, I stepped foot into University Malaya. Definitely did not see that coming when I received my second STPM result which allow me to study a degree program in a public university. It is more surprising when I got myself into Malaysia top public university. What make things better is University Malaya is just fifteen minutes drive away from home. I am blessed with great luck.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was so determined to do well in the university. In addition, my mind is set to represent the University for basketball. I easily got selected to be a varsity player. However I did badly academically in my first semester. I withdrew myself from my first MASUM competition.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I got back on track academically, I started to have conflict with the basketball coach. Knowing that when your coach does not agree with you on certain matter, you know that you will not be featuring much in games. Decision has been made. I opted out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I started playing netball. Netball is well known for being a sports which is played by women. The surprising thing is there is this male category in the University. I first played netball when I was in my first year. I remember my first competition is an embarrassment. I could not put in the ball into the net even though I am just underneath it. My team was third that year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The next one was even worse. I never like losing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My very first unexpected experience was going on an exchange program. Korea was the destination. That experience easily became my best hundred thirteen days in my life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After coming back, I started playing semi professional netball. It is something that started off unexpectedly when my all time favourite sports is basketball. However playing for an amateur netball club in Malaysia is quite an experience. Due to my first embarrassing experience in my first Sukmum netball game, my style of play is like basketball. I do lay ups more often rather than the conventional way. I realised netball can be as exciting as basketball.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2014, I was given the opportunity to represent the club in Australia annual prestigious netball competition.</div>
<div>

We were competing in Brisbane that year. We played against teams across Australia. We were competing in the reserved category although we are considered as one of the top club in Malaysia. I like it there. From the weather to the people around, I am very much enjoying myself when I was in Brisbane. Netball is very well developed in Australia. They are all really good netball players. We only managed a win out of the ten games we played. We drew when playing against a strong Queensland team. In addition, another unexpected accomplishment was achieved. I was awarded as the fourth place MVP for the reserved category. It is definitely an unexpected award. I certainly never see that coming when competing with other good players.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I bumped into a netball player who is as tall as me!</div>

<div>
She looks good too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The following year, I was fortunate to represent the club again in Australia. This time around it is in Sydney. One of the major city in Australia. I enjoyed myself in Sydney but I must say I love the experience in Brisbane more. I made more friends this time around.</div>

Sydney was not as fun due to the fact that I have to spend my time at the bench more often. I never like losing but staying at the bench is much worse than losing games. This experience taught me a lesson and I am not letting that to happen again.</div>

It took me six months to become a better player and I proved it when I finally managed to win Gold in Sukmum Netball this time around. The elusive Sukmum gold medal is finally ours and it is more memorable winning Gold as a team. I have never won a gold in the annual Sukmum meet till 2015. It is sweeter when my tenth Sukmum medal is a Gold.</div>

<br />
I just want to graduate as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
Nonetheless improve in more aspects in life!<br />
<br />
Time to change.<br />
<br />
Happy New Year!hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-31268882159479707852013-12-31T23:38:00.000-08:002013-12-31T07:40:14.451-08:00Friends AgainTime flies and my first post of the year is on the final day of 2013. It has been a great year although there are some downs in it. Nonetheless I am thankful with what had happened and I have learnt a lot throughout the year. Highlight of the year would definitely be Lee Hom's concert in Genting and this time around I made sure I get to shake his hand. It is definitely a dream come true and the icing on the cake would be attending the concert with Sarah =)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Couldn't ask anything more than that. Later in April we actually had some conflict. It took me about six months to let things cool down. I must say time is the best cure to any conflicts.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thankfully this semester things go to place by itself. Monkey run was the start to a good semester. Met her at the sports centre. Attended the sports award night with Sarah and threw an early birthday celebration for her. Great that we are friends again =)</div>

Star Quest 2011 FinalsI have been watching this programme for ten years.Back then it was called the Astro Talent Quest.For the first time top three were all females.In addition to that, I got all five position right although I didn't come up with a prediction post for this time like what I did back then.<br /><br />Geraldine as expected was crowned Champion!<br /><br />First runner up goes to Jie Ying.<br /><br />Second runner up goes to Miko.<br /><br />At first I thought Miko would get second because when they were going back to their respective home town to perform, Miko was second to go back to her home town to perform.Nonetheless she was pretty good apart from the final performance for the night.<br /><br />Jie Ying started poorly that night but as the competition went on she got better!She just couldn't let her fans down.The final song she sang was the best for the night.She sang Eason's Chan " Fou Kua " and according to one of the judges this song is a very good song for competition and the way Jie Ying perform it was just the way it supposed to be perform in a competition.That might very well be the reason why Miko got third.<br /><br />Geraldine deserved to get the Champion because she was consistent throughout the night.I like the part when she sang Siti Nurhaliza's Bukan Cinta Biasa and Ding Dang's " Wo Ai Ta ".<br /><br />However I think she lost quite a number of fans when she thanked her boyfriend when she was crowned champion.<br /><br />That night there were five very talented kids were invited to perform on stage.Their performances are awesome!<br /><br />After the first performance by two of the male kids, the host actually pointed to their fans.She was trying to indicate where was the exact position of their fans that were mostly at their age but she used her middle finger while she was indicating.hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-64228293235341676092011-06-25T21:19:00.000-07:002011-06-25T06:19:41.637-07:00Bieber's Concert in MalaysiaIt was a last minute decision to attend Bieber's concert.<br /><br />I was amazed by his voice after watching Justin Bieber's movie.<br /><br />He was amazing when he was performing in the well known Madison Square Garden.<br /><br />Next to nothing I was in Stadium Merdeka to witness this young and talented singer.<br /><br />That day's weather wasn't that great as it was raining earlier.<br /><br />I actually have to fight through all the muddy area to get to my seats.<br /><br />What make things worse was the RM198 zone is a free seating zone.It is a first come first serve thing.I arrived at the Stadium at about seven and my seats are slightly better than the RM98 zone due to those inconsiderate audiences that reserved the seats for their friends.Aren't this a first come first serve thing and not a first come first reserve then leave for other business thing!<br /><br />The concert did not start on time.The concert started at about nine with a countdown.<br /><br />The concert lasted about an hour and a little more.<br /><br />Justin wasn't at his best while he was performing on stage.<br /><br />The concert is not as good as it look like in the movie.<br /><br />However he is great when everyone is standing on the chairs throughout the concert.<br /><br />Some of the audience actually stacked a few chairs and stood on it.<br /><br />Bottom line noone was sitting.Everyone was standing on the chairs and sang along with Bieber.hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-91896450987940886122011-06-17T20:55:00.000-07:002011-06-17T05:55:16.297-07:00My

TenIt has indeed been a great year for me.I had one of the most wonderful year so far.<br /><br />It is the year I finally got myself into University Malaya.I was offered to study the Bachelor of Languages and Linguistics (English) in the best University in Malaysia.I am definitely not complaining.<br /><br />Things in University started well.Going into the eighth day of University life, I have been invited to train with the University's basketball team.I was pleased to get the invitation.<br /><br />After a few training sessions, I was selected to be in the team for the upcoming competitions.Our very first competition was Piala Merdeka.We were the champion.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

time for everything.Hence I chose those that I am truly interested in.<br /><br />One of the event which I think it would interest me is the event which was organized by the Buddhist Association.The Buddhist Association has a week to sell food in the University.The Buddhist Association would set up a stall at the designated area.<br /><br />I attended the meeting and I get to know more about the event.I joined the group which was fully in charge on preparing the food.I get to choose the shift I wanted to work in.<br /><br />Obviously I am not working those shifts alone.I got Winnie and Huez

Closing Ceremony for OrientationAfter three days of torturous night, orientation started to be better in terms of the activities and the people.<br /><br />There were several outdoor activities which was awesomely fun.<br /><br />I was involved in the tarik tali event and I enjoyed the senam seni at the varsity field.<br /><br />I personally think that the closing ceremony for orientation week was fun.There was a student who sang Bukan Cinta Biasa.She sang crazily well.She sang like Siti Nurhaliza.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try

college when it comes to cheer definitely belongs to the ninth college.<br /><br />After all ninth college won the cheer segment in the UM Cares event.<br /><br />Nonetheless I met up with some nice people.They made this orientation week less torturous.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

shock.<br /><br />We got to know that their initial introduction was a fake.<br /><br />One of the best faker was Samantha Schumacher.She claimed that she is a German.At the end we got to know that

forgive the seniors.<br /><br />It was truly a touching moment.<br /><br />We also get to know that all those expels are a total bull crap.<br /><br />We were just lucky to get those punishment -.-<br

Nightmare of Orientation WeekUnexpectedly this particular week started off on the 4th of July.I was expecting it to start at the 5th of July.After all I ended my office work at the end of June.I barely had enough rest from work and here comes orientation.<br /><br />First till the third of July flew by in a flash.I was accompany by my dear family to University Malaya.It was a Sunday.Registration was on that particular day.I was expecting after registration, I get to spend some quality time with my family.At the end I got to know that it would be otherwise.<br /><br />I checked into the hostel.A lot was playing in my mind.I have a lot to worry.My major concern is my family.I was second to arrive in my room.One of my room mate was earlier than me.I got to know that he is a local too.I discussed with him about who gets where and which.I was thankful he was kind enough to let me have the single bed since I am tall :p<br /><br />When I was done with my bed issue, I went down the stairs since I got the 4th floor.On the way down of my first flight of stairs, I met up with another student.He asked me a question.Do you know where does Room 4-14 is situated?I laughed and direct him to our new room.<br /><br />After that I went down to get my bags.My father and my mother accompany me to my room.My parents were happy for me.Finally I am studying in a public University.<br /><br />Tears of joy filled my mother's and my face.Mine was more to emotional kind of tears.When I saw my mother had tears flowing down from her eyes, I couldn't control my emotion.Tears flow down from mine too.I hugged my mother.I love her very much.I hugged my father too.My father was pleased with what he witness.<br /><br />I am strong.That particular day was an exceptional one.<br /><br />Had a brief ice breaking with both my room mates.After that we prepared ourselves for the start of orientation.<br /><br />Every new students were shocked to witnessed the change of the mood of the day.Our facilitator was harsh with their introduction.They were harsh with us too.It was pretty obvious that they did not give a good first impression to all of us as juniors.We as juniors were forced to sit on the solid floor.I just don't understand since our college has many comfy chairs they should just make full use of it.<br /><br />First day was tough.We were forced to sleep late at night.In addition to that the unexpected was unfolding itself for the next day.It became worse.In fact the second day was one of the most unforgettable day in my entire life.Since the first day we were not allowed to take our shower and I realised that they did not mention anything about not letting us to take our shower on the second day, we at the 4th floor happily take a quick shower and prepare ourselves for bed.In fact we were ordered to sleep at 1.15am, me and Chin Yee were already on our respective bed, out of a sudden we heard our seniors came knocking doors and I opened the door.We were told to meet in the hall right away in a very gentle tone.That was the unexpected event.<br /><br />We went to the hall and meet up with others.Only two rows of males can be seen.I thought only males are needed.We were ordered to run to the car park.We were punished.Our facilitator questioned us.Why all of you are still awake when all of you are supposed to go to sleep?Instead we found out that you people went for shower and some even washed their clothes.Those were late were punished to half stand.<br /><br />After a long session at the car park, we were ordered to gather at the basketball court.Then here comes the penyelia of the college.We were told that since we did not follow simple order, we will be expel from the University.<br /><br />I was shocked to hear that.Deep inside I told myself I did not expect things to fold out this way.Tan Hong Ten get expel from University on the second day of University.In fact to be precise I would have two days of Orientation in University Malaya.<br /><br />How am I going to tell my parents about this.I get expel for taking shower and I was preparing to go to sleep.What a joke that was.<br /><br />They as our facilitator and the penyelia were stern.They stood on their principles that they had called a bus to pick us up from the college and send us back to our respective homes.<br /><br />We were bashed with ridiculous questions in our face.Questions that we were not too sure how to answer.<br /><br />At one point all of us apologised and we promised that we will never repeat the exact mistake again.We were forgiven but under one condition.We were categorised in a special unit.This special unit has to assist the facilitator to control the new students.In addition to that instead of waking up early and gather at 5 in the morning in the hall, we have to wake up early and gather in the hall at 4.30am.We agree to that.<br /><br />To complete the miserable for the night we have the honour to walk back to the dorm with the grand prize.The grand prize was very ridiculous.We were forced to duck walk back to our respective dorm.All the sitting on the solid floor had given a hard time to my butt, this worsen the pain on the butt.Try and imagine late at night we were performing duck walk back to our dorm.Going downwards and upwards made everything tougher.<br /><br />When me and Chin Yee arrived back to our dorm we collapsed and take a short nap.It was 3.15 in the morning and we were planning to wake up at 4 in the morning.<br /><br />It is indeed an unforgettable experience for me -.-hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-52698271968337190852010-07-21T09:09:00.000-07:002010-07-20T18:09:37.433-07:00The WaitThe wait towards the 25th of February was heart beating.It was one of the day that can bring changes to my life.At noon, I received a call from my mother.That particular phone conversation was flooded with tears.At first thought, my result must be very disappointing.It turned out to be otherwise.I did fairly well this time around.I felt great.<br /><br />Application for public University came next.I was bothered.I had no idea which should be my eight correct choices.Thankfully my parents were very courteous.They had everything well planned.They knew what is right for me and they went surfing through the net to obtain more information.They found a site which had information of past years rate of admission.The site tells about the admission of students with their respective CGPA.The wait for the dateline was pretty fast.31st of March came out of nowhere.I submitted my application on the 30th because I know that particular day was a lucky day.<br /><br />On the 20th of April I got to know that I got that interview spot in Universiti Malaya.To make things better I have to sit for the Munsyi from USM.The wait for the interview was unbearable.If I do not have to work I am sure that I will not be able to sleep well for that particular week until the day for interview.The interview falls on the 23rd of April and Munsyi was the day after.The wait for Munsyi was good because I was aware of what was it about.<br /><br />I was interviewed by two different lecturers.One of them looked very stern and the other looked friendly.I was flooded with questions that I cannot answer.I told myself to calm down and I gone through that session with uncertainties.However my answers show that I want University Malaya so much.The friendly one looked impressed and I was sure she would put a tick right beside my name.The other one was not very pleasant.The question that was raised by her was not given a good reply from me.She didn't looked impress.It looks like if she was the only sole lecturer that interview me, I would not stand a chance.<br /><br />At the end of the interview, I say it is 50-50 that I will get myself into Universiti Malaya.<br /><br />Then I prepare my mood for Munsyi for the day after.It was relatively easy if it is to be compared with the interview.All I had to do for Munsyi was answering simple questions such as what is your interest and questions which were all about you.I enjoyed it and I was pretty sure that I would be in USM months later.<br /><br />The wait which lasted from the 24th of April until the 17th of June was horrible.Time goes by as if that a day was like a year.Work was tiring and boring.I didn't like things to be routine.I was always stucked in the office doing the same thing over and over again.<br /><br />I was told that the 18th of June is D-Day.I would know which University I will be going once the clock reached Noon.Thankfully it was the Day for the LA Lakers and the Boston Celtics too.It was the game 7 of the NBA Finals.Whoever wins that game will be crown Champion.The wait from morning till noon was full with excitement due to that match.Boston started well but did not hold on to it which resulted a painful loss to the Lakers who was crowned champion later.I wasn't happy but the game plays it role to make me feel that time goes by in a flash.<br /><br />However once we received the reply text from Universal Postal Union that I was accepted to study in University Malaya, it changed the mood of my family.We were glad and it put a big smile on every family members especially my caring parents.They were exceptionally happy.<br /><br />We enjoyed our meal.<br /><br />I was happy and I am proud to be given an opportunity to further my studies in one of the best University.<br /><br />The wait from the 18th of June to registration which fall on the 4th of July was crazily and insanely quick.Time just flies.I realised I love being at home.I was not very happy with the fact that I have been working for the previous four months.The time being in the office was way more than being at home.Now I have to stay in the hostel which pretty much occupy my time at home.<br /><br />The wait to be at home most of the time begins!hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-74948325073298237732010-05-31T08:38:00.000-07:002010-05-30T17:38:24.868-07:00CommonCurrently I am stuck with my job.A Sales Coordinator in a branding company.My job is to coordinate with my so called bosses.<br /><br />I dread work.I look forward to go back to school.<br /><br />However I am sure when the new school semester begins I would think otherwise.<br /><br />Weird but I am pretty sure it is pretty common to have such

For LaughSince it is April Fool I would like to post something regarding about it.Unfortunately there isn't any quality post regarding April Fool.Hence I am going to post something that is a LOL quality type of post.<br /><br />During the previous weekend I was working as a promoter.<br /><br />A Pringles Promoter again to be precise.<br /><br />Naturally there would be a call needed to be answer the day before work starts.<br /><br />The fella that supposed to call me is DUMB.<br /><br />He called me late at night.I was taking my shower.I wasn't able to answer that call.<br /><br />I got a text from that DUMBO!<br /><br />Here is the text.<br /><br />Me is your pringles supervisor this 27/3, 28/3.Anything call in to me.Tomorrow reach your outlet before 11.30 to conform all the thing can standby before 12pm.Thank you.<br /><br />What the hell?ME IS and conform!<br /><br />At midnight he called again.It is obvious my cell was switched off.<br /><br />Then when I woke up in the morning.I got a text.<br /><br />It reads<br /><br />When you reserve my massage.Please reply my massage.Thank you.<br /><br />I was like What The Hell.<br /><br />It seriously is a LOL type of message.hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-62100826501144109332010-03-16T01:45:00.000-07:002010-03-15T10:50:23.702-07:00Ask Uncle for a Piece of ChipAs you know I was working as a Pringles promoter for two previous weekends.<br /><br />My job was to give out samples and persuade customers to buy some Pringles chip.<br /><br />Since I have to promote potato chips it is obvious to say that my prime target would be children and teenagers.<br /><br />Whenever there was any children or teenagers happen to drop by I would happily offer them some chips.<br /><br />What annoy me to the max was when those children came by with their parents they were too shy to ask for some chips.Here comes the parents acknowledging their children.<br /><br />COME BOY/GIRL.ASK THE PRINGLES UNCLE FOR SOME CHIPS!<br /><br />What the hell!Do I look like an uncle?<br /><br />Without any hesitation I clarify things right away.I told those parents and strengthen that I am a KOR KOR I am not an uncle!I am YOUNG!<br /><br />There was another incident which made me feel very STRESS!<br /><br />I was walking with my area supervisor whose age is twenty eight.We happened to drop by one of the credit card booth.<br /><br />I don't usually catch the attention of the sales person because they knew that I am a student that may not afford a credit card.<br /><br />Surprisingly I caught one of the sales person attention.She actually hand over a pamphlet to me.<br /><br />She was trying to persuade me to sign for the credit card by offering me free GPS device.<br /><br />I was pissed!<br /><br />My supervisor happened to be twenty eight and none of the sales person give him a pamphlet.<br /><br />The point is I still have not reach the age of twenty one yet I got a pamphlet.<br /><br />What the hell is wrong with those sales person!hongtenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05856951916979403892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914122271149946050.post-53476491060737801352010-03-15T08:26:00.000-07:002010-03-14T17:26:34.805-07:00When
