PMR Results

Here is the result slip of my PMR examination. I couldn't have asked for more than this. This results gave me the motivation I needed to more on to the next level of education at that time which was Form 4 where I chose to be in the Science stream. Most importantly, with this results, I have done my family proud.

Community Service

On the morning of 30th January 2010, everyone met in front of Taylor’s college and then we headed to Taman Megah Disabled Children’s Home in two cars. We prepared candies, jelly and boxed drinks since we are aware that those are the all time favorite of children. Then came the challenging part when we reached the home. Nothing much was expected but somehow the conditions of the children there gave us chills and most of us thought that it is going to be a tough ride dealing with them. Some were crying when they saw us, some were too used to this type of visits that they did whatever they were doing at that time and there was one who liked to shake hands so much with everyone of us. The supervisors greeted us with much welcome and briefed us on the children here. “The ones who are tied to the wall are actually very ‘violent’ in the sense of anyone passing by them would get hit” said one of the supervisor. 




The level of blurriness in everyone of us showed quite obviously as we have never handled these type of children before and we were afraid that we might make mistakes in handling them because most of them are emotionally fragile. So came the consciousness in us that this is not just another project to be done, or recorded, but it is a human act which is the responsibility of us students to know and have the knowledge of it since we all live an easy live if compared to these children. We could only wish the children was as lucky as those normal teenagers out there who are given higher degree of education and in return those teenagers would learn more of the hardships in life out the without taking things for granted. Altogether, an experience to be remembered. 





My 1st job

I worked in Cambridge Kids in Shah Alam for 2 months from January 2009. I was the assistant teacher for the 3 year old kids and they were very hard to control at the first week of classes as they were not used to being without their parents. To get their way, they cried, threw tantrums, would not go into class and so much more. So it was part of my job to convince them into joining class activities and make sure that they know their alphabets and it's phonics. My responsibilities does not only include that for sure.

All in all, it was more than just a job because of the special bond I shared with those children. Would not change a thing about it. =)

National Service (Papar, Sabah)









I'll roughly make a conclusion bout wat happened in camp. 19th March to be exact was the departure to Sabah, I tried keeping things positive. Strangers everywhere and of course I just had to find a space to fit in somewhere. 1st night was tougher than I thought. Nevertheless, everything seemed normal after only a week. Alpha company was what I wanted from the beginning and I got it. Training evrything was fine,and all classes were also okay. Sometimes would want to snooze off but couldn't. 

Along the way,there's always time for us friends to bond and get closer. For example: my roomies which I really miss now. All they have done for me, all the laughter and tears we shed made us inseparable. Activities I did there was the one's I have never expected myself to overcome. Shooting, marching, flying fox, "kembara halangan", kayaking and cooking by the river. Of course you wont have the chance to do it at home. So there's the positive points of National Service.

Student Council


In year 2009, it was the first time that I joined the student council for the Canadian Pre-U programme. I had to go through the campaigning period which was just a short of 3 days. Then the students would get to vote. I got the position of a secretary.

This council has really open the doors; from knowing more teachers who are not teaching me to getting to interact more with people who are not in the same classes as me. 


Then I chose to be part of the prom committee. All of us planned, promote and sold tickets, trying to persuade others why they should go, etc. A real handful of work but we managed to get over 100 students to go. It was held at the Grand Dorsett Hotel and the theme was Las Vegas! =D

50th Merdeka Celebration (2007)

In year 2007, I joined an NGO called Sokka Gakkai to perform during the Merdeka celebration in Stadium Merdeka. There were about 10000 people in the stadium on that night. We were not paid for this but instead everyone got a certificate from the 5th Prime Minister of Malaysia, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. 






This is a partial video of our performance uploaded in Youtube. To watch the full video, please go directly to Youtube. 
Here are some pictures of some of the formations done. Click on the pictures to enlarge it.

The First Post



My name is Yeow Yee Lin but my friends calls me May since I was born in that month on the 16th in year 1991. 



I am currently studying in Taylor's Lakeside Campus, degree in International Business and Marketing which I would hopefully finish in year 2013. 



This is a picture of the lakeside campus where I'm proud to call my university because of the prestigious design and learning environment. I will be dedicating the second post to the beauty and excellence of studying in this campus. 


This post is the first one and therefore it will be a non detailed introduction but the goal for this portfolio is obvious. It is to monitor my progress as I go on with the semesters and much more activities that I am involved in would be posted.
