My Life

Dusting off

2010-08-06T07:49:00.000-07:00

Checking back my entries, it had been a while since my last update. I was way too occupied with all the workload (shit you control!@@) and those thinkings that suddenly popped up in my mind. (Have been always wondering how good if I can control my mind to think only those good sweet moments and to leave those bitter sad moment kept locked deep down beyond the reach of my subconscious)

Just to let off some steam, I went to watch Inception on Thursday night after work with one of the many trainees in my company. The movie is great, story line was beyond words and good job, I was made dumb founded without any words to say at the end of the movie.

Lead by Leonardo DiCaprio, the movie is about extracting information from one's mind and to implant one whole new idea in one subconscious. In the movie, Leonardo starred as the extractor and as story moves on, he was given a mission to implant an idea that will cause a great business empire to go shattering into dust. With those breath-taking scenes, the movie started off with a dream and ended with a dream. A must watch movie as Kevin Wong stated and I totally agreed with it.

My 1st kuantan trip~~~~

2010-06-19T07:17:00.000-07:00

I went down to Kuantan for a work trip last week and frankly speaking, city life aside, Kuantan is a place for relaxation and mind-calming. City boy like me would find Kuantan a boring place but Kuantan is a place blessed with beautiful beaches and various kinds of seafood to satisfy the taste buds of its visitors.

Sunday morning~~~~~~~

2010-06-05T22:48:00.000-07:00

I always wondering why am I staying at home on a bright Sunday where I can go out and spend my time out there somewhere with friends. I got the time and my financial status haven't come to a completely drained situation so I bet I got the essentials to go out and have fun but yet I was stuck at home enduring the hot weather with only my Compaq Presario V3000 to accompany me with the tunes and the vids I had downloaded before hand.

Listen, are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?

不眠之夜

2010-05-30T11:48:00.000-07:00

现时凌晨2时49分, 已数不清我在温暖的被窝里翻覆了多少遍. 在于明日的繁忙工作安排里我是很需要那宝贵的睡眠,但偏偏此刻的我却一点睡意也没有. 套一句广东话: 鬼打这样精神. 闲来无事就只好到这里来发泄, 希望发泄过后睡意会排山倒海似的卷来.

Another rant by kiatsim86

2010-02-27T07:52:00.000-08:00

So I just started my new job 3 weeks ago. Nothing much to blog about it as I'm now working with my intern company just that the responsibility becomes greater compared to the time when I am still just a trainee in the company.

Chelsea lost to Man City at Stamford Bridge and I finds it hard to accept especially after all those scandals being unearth. Is it someone trying to do some mental distraction here? I ponder...

Maybe is time for me to hit one of the local clubs and let loose of myself. Any takers?? XD

Love

2010-01-26T03:40:00.000-08:00

Is love a guessing game?? My mind had gave up on trying to get the correct answer.

Disappointed yet again....

2009-12-11T00:57:00.000-08:00

Just received the news from IOI Pan Century Edible Oils and IOI Pan Century Oleochemicals, 3 words to summarize it in a nutshell. I was rejected.... T.T

Well, maybe it's the time for me to get moving on and to work hard so that my appraisal and my confirmation would not disappoint me. ^^

My new phone!!!

2009-11-08T05:44:00.000-08:00

In case of anyone who does not know that my phone was stolen by a bastard from my office past 2 weeks, I now no more using my Motorola C261 but I'm still using my maxis number. After going around testing on a wide varieties of phones, my heart finally settled down with the Sony Ericsson W595.

It's a walkman phone as you can clearly see the walkman sign from the casing of the phone and the sound quality I can give it a 9/10 ranking. Comes with a 2GB MicroSD, the phone memory capacity for MicroSD can go up to 8GB maximum. As I mentioned earlier, this phone is a walkman phone so do not expect too much from the built-in camera as it is only of 3.2 megapixels. Just like some other walkman phones, this phone comes with ShakeControl where you can easily change your tunes without having to go trough the trouble of unlocking the keypad.

With it priced around RM 650 in the market, I can reckon that this is a phone that is for people with a budget to control with.

Long weekends

2009-09-21T08:27:00.000-07:00

Here I am sitting in front of my beloved laptop looking for sound tracks to download and videos to watch while finding the pleasure of relaxation from being needed in the office to supervise the production line due to the public holidays.

Recently there's a lot going through my minds, starting from a guy that requested 1 million wishes from the people worldwide as he is getting ready to propose to his girlfriend. More details can go to http://willyoumarryme2010.blogspot.com/. Hope you will get the nod from your girlfriend and may both of you live happily ever after.

A spin off from the above thought, my dream wedding is to be held in Disneyland but it seems a bit impossible but if I can't reach for the stars, why not I try to reach for the clouds. So, ideas anyone?

P.S: I am currently single.. XD

The manga artist for crayon sinchan had past away. I had been reading his comic since childhood but now he's gone. Kinda sad when read the news online but I can't reverse the time can I?

1 last thing, I've been looking for phone models as my Motorola looks a bit weird. Any suggestions are welcomed

My 2nd pay cheque

2009-09-05T23:37:00.000-07:00

So my 2nd pay cheque is finally in, time flies and with a blink of an eye, I had been working for 2 solid months after I graduated from UTP early of June. I enjoyed working life so far yet I believe there is still more to be anticipated for my life.

Wat should I do for the weekends??? AIH

OMG!! You called yourself an educated person holding a high post in the ministry serving the government which is elected by the majority on the 8 of March last year but the truth is you are earning the side eyes from those educated fresh graduates from all over the nation.

Is the term Influenza A (H1N1) so hard to be pronounced? Even I who does not have a degree from either biotechnology, biology, medicine, or pharmacy can pronounce it without fail. People just need to be educated and education comes from a standardized form accepted by the worldwide and the nationwide.

Nationwide terms: Dr Liow Tiong Lai, the minister of health already told the minister to accept and educate those receiving the news from mass media what is Influenza A (H1N1) and not misleading them to untrue facts about the swine flu.

Worldwide: World Healt Organization (WHO) had identified that Influenza A (H1N1) is a form of flu virus that had spread from from one living organism to another and not only from swine to human or other animals.

Just like other viruses, I believe Influenza A (H1N1) strain might originate from human then mutate to another strain then pass it on to swine or there might be other modes of infection which is up to you to figure out.

It's the show down

2009-05-24T06:17:00.000-07:00

It's here finally. With my paper finished yesterday, I am now officially the unofficial engineer (hvn register with BEM wat) with having only the final year project to present then I am free from this forest. It has been 5 years since the 1st day I step foot in this university and all the memories, good or bad, I will treasure it.

Today is Chuan's birthday and we went Voodoo for his celebration. Tequila shots, friends, 2nd hand smoke and songs accompanied me through the night and Chuan was wasted at the end of the celebration. Have to drag him to the car to avoid some fighting that happened in the club. >.<

Wasted whole morning and most of the afternoon sleeping today since I was only asleep at 5.30 am. Luckily I am still SnA as I pitied those that went clubbing and got a piece of their mind from their the other half.

To those kepong peeps, wait for me as I am going back on saturday~~~ Cya there

interview interview interview

2009-05-17T19:20:00.000-07:00

Interviews keep coming in signaling the end of my undergraduate studies and in another 3 weeks time, I would be a part of the work force if I am fortunate enough or else I will go down to the statistic along with those unemployed.

Major corps had freeze their recruitment, rejected by Petronas in the early stage of the test, performed badly in the ALCIM interview had lead me to become desperate in job hunting and when I am desperate, I become out of my mind.

Tomorrow I have to travel early in the morning to Penang for another interview and hopefully this time around I manage to impress the interviewers. (Crossing fingers)

Last study week

2009-05-03T23:45:00.000-07:00

After 5 years in UTP, now it has reached the last of my undergraduate studies and by passing this semester, I will be free of studies and tell you what, I began to miss those tat have accompanied me through all the ups and downs in these 5 years. I heart you guys. :))

OMG Susan Boyle

2009-04-26T07:30:00.001-07:00

Can you believe it?? A 47 year old mother singing in Britain Got Talent and her aim is to be Elaine Paige. For those who do not know who is Elaine Paige, she is an English singer famous of her musical theater work.

And this Susan Boyle totally blew me away. With her try out in the show singing I dreamed a dream, even Simon Cowell was amazed by her.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Susan Boyle. Dunno why I cant upload the video here but you all can watch it in youtube.com by clicking the link. ^^

metamorphing

2009-04-26T05:52:00.001-07:00

How can 1 person changes so fast?? I notice in a very short period those that around me changes with the speed of an astronomical rocket.

Is it because of menopause??? But I hvn experience those tat undergo menopause that last for weeks or months. Or is it climate changes but even weather got sunny, cloudy n rainny. Heck, some people juz cold all the time. Confront me if i did anything wrong and I do hate this feeling. Not a good state for a young adult to go through all these. For me, I prefer touch and go. Confront me, I apologize and we still can be buddy. If you dun tell me wat happened, how the F**King hell I know wat u thinking. Im not a mind reader like matt parkman for god sake.

This post screws my emotion once again but felt relieved once I finished it. >.<

ARGH!!!

Peoples

2009-04-20T10:01:00.000-07:00

Over the years I have came in contact with different kinds of people in my daily life:

-Those that are bad tempered like me

-Those that are selfish

-Those that are not considerate

-Those that are bitchy

-Those that think the world moves around them

-Those that think every action they do is perfect, no one can question about it

-Those that enjoy the feeling of knowing there are people waiting for them and taking their time

-Those that disrespectful

-Those that only consider a few as their own kind and others are not

-Those that loathe the one that be friends with his kind and thus, leaving him out of his own clique

-Those that uncaring

-Those that are bossy

-Those that are too kind (too kind is also a sin... get used to it)

-Those that are unfaithful

But, God created us in such a way... all of us have to live with it. >.<

temperature and pressure but dun have flowrates (be it either mass or
volumetric)?

For those that knew the answer, pls pls let me know... Desperate to settle my project

Pissed!!!

2009-04-15T08:50:00.000-07:00

Have you ever seen anyone that go for a plant visit without an official letter and said it's okay to not having an official letter along with him??? Believe me, I've seen it.

Have you ever seen anyone that thought he went to a site for plant visit which he thinks it is the correct place and sent us waiting for 1 solid hour???? Believe me, I experienced it.

Have you ever get anyone that interviewed someone from the plant for a certain project, gets the 20% information and expect his teammate to give him a 100% full report??? Believe me, I am his teammate scratching my head thinking how to do the report.

Have you ever seen anyone that is so demanding that he keeps on pressurizing you to edit the report you did till perfection??? Well, I guess this is normal... So I can let it go.

Have you met someone that will still pressure you even if you are burning hot inside??? Hmmmm... Sounds a lot like a boss. If boss, then I should get paid right?? But the fact is I spent 1 hour waiting in the waiting lounge of a plant that we are NOT visiting, foil all my plans and sent me rushing back in order to get to my next plan in time.

OVERCOMER, you are the man!!! Dunno wanna hate you or laugh at you.

Chelsea breaks record once again!

2009-04-08T19:41:00.000-07:00

What a significant match to end my anxiety. As been decided 2 weeks ago, once again the Reds have to fight Chelsea in the European Champions League and because of the heat I felt, I actually went out at 3am to watch how the 2 giants in England edged over each other to keep their Champions League hope in mind.

After 2 hours of all the excitements, I must give a round of applause to the Reds as the goal by Torres was splendidly done with Arbeloa that did the assisting part. At that moment I saw Chelsea fans were gloomy as Cech had conceded an early goal. But slightly 6 mins before the half time wisel goes off, Branislav Ivanovic has emerged to be the hero to keep the score tied as he beats Alonso and scored the header from the corner delivered by Florent Malouda.

At the half time break, me and my mates were supprised by the 4-0 beating of Bayern Munich by Barcelona. Maybe Bayern haven't overcome from their lost to Wolfsburg during the weekends, well who knows. Shortly after that, the wisel was blown once more to signal the start of the 2nd half for the England side. At this time, I saw more attacks from Chelsea but Liverpool counterred it well although there are no goals yet. At the timemark of 62 mins, Ivanovic once again had scored the header delivered by Frank Lampard.

Just 5 mins later, a splendid work by Florent Malouda to deliver the low cross and Didier Drogba had tipped in his first goal after attempts. The scoreline is now Liverpool 1-3 Chelsea. With 7 mins to play on, Liverpool fought on with their very best by bringing in Ryan Babel and Visso Benayoun but the effort does not pay off.

I am now eagerly waiting to watch the home team welcoming Liverpool in the 2nd leg of the match. Hope it will be an all-out match from the 2 sides. And of course, I hoping Chelsea can meet Barcelona in the semi finals.

xiamen and chao zhou trip- 2nd posting

2009-01-20T02:56:00.000-08:00

Dunno why I can't post even more pictures in the previous post but heck, I am continuing it here. Here goes the rest of the photos from my ancestral hometown...

- Looking pretty aren't they... oink oink

- the temple for SIM family

- the guardian dog of the SIM family temple

- one of the house left behind in the ancestral hometown

my 2nd post for 2009 - the china trip

2009-01-15T04:36:00.000-08:00

Finally, a time for me to blog about my visit to China as to go back to my ancestral hometown. In the trip I went down to 2 cities, Xiamen and ChaoZhou where ChaoZhou is my ancestral hometown and Xiamen is one of the earliest port city opened up to the foreigners after the opium War.

Places to visit in Xiamen will be Gu Lang Yu, Nan Pu Tuo, Hu Li Shan Fortress and for the night market, please do visit Zhong Shan Lu (Zhong Shan Road). To go Gu Lang Yu, just simply take either a bus or a taxi to the ferry port and the ferry will ferry you to Gu Lang Yu. Do not worry about which bus to take as at every bus stop there will be a notice board for the travellers to check the bus number againts their route and suprisingly enough, the bus fare is only RMB 1 yuan on board. No matter how far is your distance, you need to pay only 1 yuan to get on board and wala, you will be at your destination in no time. A truly budget saving tip for all the back packers.

-the entrance of the Gu Lang Yu

- The archway at the entrance of Xu family (Gu Lang Yu)

-the art piece on the gate (Gu Lang Yu)

- Some real old building of British architecture (Gu Lang Yu)

- A British building turned into some sort of museum (Gu Lang Yu)

- the bronze sculpture of General KoXingGa (Gu Lang Yu)

-the helmet and sword believed to be KoXingGa's (Gu Lang Yu)

Ok Ok, time for some Chinese History class. Ko Xing Ga (Guo Xing Yeh or Zhen Cheng Gong) is the military leader during Ming dynasty that strongly opposed the invasion from the Manchurian and after Manchurian controls the mainland, Ko Xing Ga sailed up to Taiwan and settled down as an opposition force against the Qing dynasty.

-the whole view of Xiamen city from the top of Nan Pu Tuo (Xiamen)

-Inside of Nan Pu Tuo (Xiamen)

- the map of Hu Li Shan Fortress (Xiamen)

-the meeting room for the military officers (Xiamen)

- the krupp cannon in the Hu Li Shan fortress (Xiamen)

Half of my trip was focused on the place where my ancestors came from Chao Zhou. In Chao Zhou, places of interest will be the memorial park of Han Yu (Han Wen Gong), the Xiang Zi bridge, the Guang Ji gateway, the Xi Hu, and the Kai Yuan temple.

- the gateway of Guang Ji (Chao Zhou)

- the defensive tower for archers and patrol soldiers on top of the Guang Ji gateway (Chao Zhou)

- the Xiang Zi bridge (Chao Zhou)

What amazed me is the structure of the bridge. Did you see at the center of the bridge where there is a line of boat sitting in between the bridge instead of concrete. In every evening, the line of boat will open up a pathway for the other boats to sail down the river.

- boats sailing down the river through Xiang Zi bridge (Chao Zhou)

- Han Yu Memorial Park (Chao Zhou)

- Han Yu seeing off his friend (Chao Zhou)

- Kai Yuan temple (Chao Zhou)

- Inner part of Kai Yuan temple (Chao Zhou)

My ancestral hometown is in Chao Zhou city, Chao An district in the village called Hua Mei.

- the old house of the SIM family (Chao Zhou)

happy new year/ sad new year???

2009-01-11T07:25:00.000-08:00

Hey guys and girls... time flies by and without realizing it's 2009 this year.. Geez, after 12 days of the new year, a lot of things happened around me and I do not know which to blog first. Well, it always better to start off with the bad things first then the good things right? Off it goes....

For the first time ever, I borrowed my dad's car for 3 weeks usage in UTP (according to Jason, it's universiti tiada perempuan) and I got it into accident. When I was reversing the car, a car was coming into the way and bonk!, my car rear bumper went into the car side. In the end, I settled the fella without needing to lodge a police report but my wallet bleeds seriously. 450 for the fella's car and 385 for my dad's car repairing cost. 1 big big ang pau for the mechanics, so you guys better thank me for that. Hmph!!!!

The good stuff will be shared in next post as I getting lazy d... adios............

Nearing the end of 2008

2008-12-24T07:39:00.000-08:00

Well,before I start off with today's posting, I would like to wish everyone Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope next year will be a much better one for all of us.

Counting down the days, I suddenly realized that I left only 2 days to spend at home as my lecturer asked me to go back the campus at the first week of the new year which will be 5th of Jan. This weekend I will be in Muar, Johor for my cousin's wedding and right after that I'm off to China for the count down of new year. Actually my China trip was confirmed 2 weeks ago with a purpose of going back to ancestorial hometown. Haha.... I finally got the chance to 'Hui Xiang'... :)

After googling it, the description I received was Chickipedia is the world's largest web-based, women-based, wiki-based database of hot chicks on the planet. XD

previous clubbing exp

2008-10-05T07:33:00.000-07:00

25th sept was the last time I went down to a club and this time we visited Rum Jungle in Tambun. 3 of us: fu shen, nagen and I were there just for a drink before we part ways for our mid semester break and we met other UTPians there for the last night partying before the mid semester. Among the places I've been so far, this can be labeled as the top club right up till now.

Don't be mislead by the above picture, I was being 'molested' by this macha even before we started to drink. Can you even imagine it???

2 drunkards sleeping on top of the car. XD

(Vote me for miss seduction 2008!! I'm holding the entry forms d....XD)

It was a crazy night tat fills with fun. Glad to have this bunch of friends around these years. :)

Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends that celebrating it this year. Enjoy the food and the duit raya. Hehe =P

happy holiday

2008-09-16T13:39:00.000-07:00

It's 4.30am now n I'm still half awake drinking to special coke I made myself while following the up-to-date results on the European Champions League. Tomorrow is a holiday for Malaysian but I doesn have any holiday mood as work burdens literally sapping the energy force from my body. God please take away these burdens, I need my life as a single and available 22 year old lad. =D

14 months ago

2008-09-09T20:18:00.000-07:00

14 months in a person's life is not a very long time duration, for a 22 yo chap like me, 14 months is just approximately 5% of my life time up till now. But 14 months ago, it was a critical period in my lifetime as my grandmother who had look after me since I was young passed away due to cardiac failure and at that time I was planning to go to Sabah with Fu Shen, Chee Fai, Edwin and the rest.

My grandmother followed her husband come to Malaysia during the British colonization period as a merchant and settled down south of Peninsular in Muar. I still remember I did not even cry during her funeral although my heart was sliced into pieces thinking the one that cares me and loves me will not be ever present again when I go back to Muar the next time. Just like Hiyawu mentioned in one of his book: The coffee shop in the 6th street I got no more excuses to go to Muar anymore.

Malaysia: Tanah Tumpah Darahku

2008-09-09T02:57:00.000-07:00

I found out that Malaysia is such an adorable country in these few years. From the video chaos by Wong Chee Meng, video chaos of Dr. Chua to the political crisis in 3rd March 2008 n the recent Penang racial statement, yet we still leave under 1 roof happilly (juz a skin depth to show the foreigners tat Malaysian is a muhibah country).

During the by-election in Permatang Pauh, Penang, I was amazed by how Anwar Ibrahim convey his msg to the public in his speech but my heart sank till the bottom of the earth core when I heard Datuk Ahmad Ismail said that the Malaysian Chinese are juz immigrants who are not supposed to have the equal rights as the Malay bumiputras.

Staying in this country where there's unequal population density of races, I have to be very careful with my words as the ISA will have every right to send my sorry ass right into jail if I said or do anything that is not music to the ears of the goverment. Anwar was sent into jail, Lim Kit Siang was sent into jail, Hindraf leaders were sent into jail and I wish that I would not be the next opposition leader in future. :)

Kenny Sia, Malaysia celebrity blogger had commented on the recent Penang situation as you all can have a look of his post here. Tun Dr Mahathir, the previous Prime Minister has commented about the happenings in his own blog which u all can find it here and also here.

Hopefully Malaysia still b a big happy family in the future.

wat a weekend

2008-09-05T06:47:00.001-07:00

It's friday night finally. Juz had my reservoir engineering test earlier this afternoon (3-4pm) n to tell the truth, I think my over-confidence had made me stumbled hard on to the ground as I completely had no idea on how to do 1 question which carries 15 marks out of the 25 for the whole paper. When the clock finally ticked at 4pm, my nervousness n the sweaty palm had been blown away from my mind as i could not care more. What is done is done, u cant actually do anything more about it, that's wat my heart told me. Although disappointment filled my heart n grasped my breathing oozing out every living motivation from my soul, I had to keep my head up and walk down the journey with confidence.

I hoped that this guilty feeling will get pass asap. :)

p/s: a round of drinks anyone??? =))

tardy tardy friday

2008-08-22T01:40:00.000-07:00

Thank God Is Friday... n it is the tardy tardy friday of mine..Since I was awake, I practically hvn touch my cultural anthropology notes although the test is on next monday, juz hogging the internet doin sth else rather than the research for my plant design project.

咖啡

2008-06-15T05:52:00.000-07:00

如果在众多饮料中选一个可以代表爱情的，我毫无疑问的会选择咖啡。或许大家都会故作惊讶的说：难道不会是汽水，刨冰之类的甜饮吗？咖啡，对众人来说是苦涩的，难道爱情也不是这样吗？一杯无糖无奶的咖啡乌，就如没有亲人眼里的surprise一样，即单调又无趣。但是一杯咖啡加了少许的奶和巧克力，那被咖啡就被成为摩卡(mocha) ；咖啡加奶又变成了latte; 以及其他不同的饮料。正如咖啡一样，如果爱情没有了所谓的surprise，那么那份情还有什么值得去回味的吗？

solution's life

2008-05-20T05:28:00.000-07:00

I found this pic tru google search n it fits very nicely when u ask me to describe one of the managers in Solution Engineering (a.k.a Suckers Enterprise). He will send u to a place to work ur ass off n he's off to enjoy sucking his rod (sure fishing rod la, duh?!). He will drive u up the walls till u have the urge to say "Tiu la, he thinks he knows everything. Explain to him also dun wanna accept, f**k him la". I personally thinks he's employed to make sure tat the employees wont stay long enough in the company for any humongous pay rise n kicks the shit out of the company. (well, juz personal views. jgn sue aku, aku tak de duit... :))

i think the fishing guy would like my purposal if i would to purpose a thing to be installed in the pantry... introducing the brilliant idea to make the fishing guy happy

i met a bitch in solution which his relatives had caused a major accident to the traffics n the relatives r commonly found in rural areas in Malaysia n r worshipped as the godness by the Indians. lazy as their nature, juz eating grass n produce meat n milk which onli b drank by his closely knitted other half, he had caused major person to person communication with most of us. thank god he will b having the last 3 days in Suckers Enterprise including tomorrow. :)

bye bye 2007 hello 2008!

2007-12-31T18:41:00.000-08:00

it has been a long while since im here crapping bout my miserably twisted lifestyle. but since today is the public holiday, i gotta take this chance to wish all of u a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2007 had passed in a jiffy n now we r in 2008.
looking back at 2007, there r inevitable mixture of feelings in everyone's heart im sure. festive seasons, sending the space traveler up with other astronauts from countries like USA, the campaign lead by BERSIH, HINDRAF, and the law body had made an impact in our daily life. began to wonder wats wrong with Malaysia, be it the government's fault or the wrong doings by the public. Tun M. said that this nation is a democratic nation, if u dun like the way of the government doing things, dun vote for it and vice versa. It is quite true tho as everyone is eligible to vote for their ideal political parties once they reach the age of 21. so think carefully n observe b4 u vote!!
yesterday went down the laundry for the just one more party n to my surprise, there r malays in pubs also, drinking up like nobody else will care. the party ends with great fireworks display n 1 of the working staff told me tat is the greatest ever countdown party he had been so far. in the countdown party, met up with some of the uni mates, namely fireangel, oonlam, chee kang, seang yik, melvin and alan. do meet up sometime ya. :)

INTERNSHIP

2007-12-05T07:19:00.000-08:00

so much for the long awaited internship period. for 3 straight days, i was worked my ass off till the max sending me hitting the sack right after dinner time. i had reported to Solution Engineering Sdn Bhd in Puchong, Selangor to take up the internship programme required by the university as a compulsory subject.

3 days non-stop of testing the lab equipments, 3 days of straight over time, 3 days of sleeping b4 2am. (shit, since when i sleep b4 2??) seriously beh tahan, today even feel like wanna find a bed in the company n have a nice sleep (wong, can i sleep during lunch time?? XD)

till next time, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

democratic or autocratic

2007-11-28T10:22:00.000-08:00

i believe all of us knows the difference between the 2 words in the title arent we? n supposedly malaysia is a democratic world right? then y the tv3 is having a poll on whether or not the government need to call upon ISA to control the condition? if it is a democratic nation, there's no need of the establishment of ISA, there's no need to call the police in order to disperse the rally participants 'gently' (quote Datuk Zainuddin).

autocratic or democratic?? it's up to u guys to decide.. after all this is a 'fair n just' country

it's time

2007-11-28T09:50:00.000-08:00

i bet u all still remember the news on the ministry of sports decided to build a rally track for the "mat rempit"s to curb the day-by-day accident cases caused by the group. wat would u think when u heard of this news? my first response was "oh yeah, all the money from the tax payers will be flushed down the the south china sea once again."

u would never heard of this when Datuk M was ruling, u wont even heard of one of the minister suggesting "giving the mat rempits a brand new bike to catch the snatch theives in collaboration with the police force." this seriously hit me right on my face n send me wondering y is this happening to us right now? wat happened to malaysia nowadays. to "rempit" is an offence, not sth to be proud of. not sending them to face judgement, be it traffic summons or few months jail for the hard cores, but to build a track or giving them a new bike? my inner self was like "WTF??", well of course I can't say it loud, or else someone will man-marked me n send me to the deepest misery. do the government knows how much they need to spend on building a race track with all the contractors providing them first-class price n 5th class quality piece of work? if the race track seriously is built(which now is not), then the government either sending in a huge pile of cash to maintain it or let it be another white elephant like some other sports complexes.

another thing is once the race track project is on, then we can expect more n more mat rempits each day by the road side. reason? "aku nak gi join org2 kat race track tu, nak training jap." or "nak try true feeling sebelum gi try true racing."

happy 21st

2007-11-20T15:10:00.000-08:00

yeah it's finally 21st nov. im officially 21 yo to date. no more lepak-lepak with work anymore i guess. gotta be serious! :D anyway, im off to langkawi to enjoy b4 start to get serious. :) more updates will be flooding in after the langkawi trip if im not lazy to blog it up.

Starting XI

Wenger - My problem with player quotas

By Richard Clarke

Arsène Wenger believes quotas on foreign players are a thing of the past.

The issue has hit the headlines again after Fifa president Sepp Blatter proposed starting XIs be restricted to just five overseas stars in order to nurture home-grown talent. Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has lent his support to the idea.

However Wenger argues that the global nature of modern football has made such restrictions obsolete and, crucially, he suggests the influx of foreign players raises — not lowers — standards in England.

“I always felt that sport rewards quality and does not hide behind artificial rules,” he said ahead of the Champions League tie at Slavia Prague.

“If you put the level of the class down, it does not necessarily make the bad students better. It makes them worse.

“To compete with the best players in the world is a chance to improve your level. In Europe we are very rigid and difficult to move forwards because we are all [different] countries and are a bit conservative.

“But if you organise a golf tournament people go to watch Tiger Woods, whether that is in Scotland or anywhere else. When you go to Wimbledon, you want to see Roger Federer.

“That is what people want today. The world has moved. People demand to see the best in the world and you cannot get them to watch a level down anymore.”

I agree with wateva wenger juz said. a person will onli flourish when they feel pressure and in order to have the attention tat they r seeking, they have to strive hard to get it. The simplest example, Thomas Elva Edison, a person tat I believe no one will claim tat they do not know this person especially in this modern world of technology. Being labeled as a annoying brat by the teachers in school, he strived hard to obtain the knowledge tru his mother who is home-schooled him after he was dismissed from the official school. He doesnt give up on experimenting after his hearing senses were taken away by train conductor's struck after his chemical lab was caught fire in a carbox. Thousands n thousands of materials he tried b4 he successfully found the element for the long lasting light bulb tat will burn for "hundreds of hours" even though his lab partners were all half hearted in the middle of their research.

Another example will be a little bit unheard to the public unless u all know arts very well. Vincent van Gogh, a dutch post-impressionist. Mayb some of u had heard bout the tales of his, but for general information, van Gogh had cut off his left ear ear lobe and had halucinations after the breakdown in his friendship with Paul Gauguin. From then onwards, he had painted several world renowned piece of art namely the Potrait of Dr Gachet, The Starry Night, Still Life with Absinthe and others.

Wat if Thomas Elva Edison and Vincent van Gogh did not pick themselves up from the fall n continue their journey? mayb we wont have florescent light tube, dun have Potrait of Dr Gachet tat sells at 82.5 mil USD n went missing after tat, dun have sound recorder and dun have modern impressionism drawings. Same as the footballers, dun b happy juz because u r in 2nd team hopping tat sepp blatter's wish to impose the players quota will come true n sit there waiting for the good news. If tats the case, I would recommend u to go become the water boy of the team. Try hard, prove urself to the manager tat u can be better than the foreigners. Show some effort, no more sitting there waiting for luck fallin down from the sky.. :)

quotes from the football world

2007-11-06T05:30:00.000-08:00

It won't protect the best players, it will protect the mediocre ones and you don't win a World Cup with mediocre players

Arsene Wenger
Arsenal manager

It does not matter where you are born, it matters who you are

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger

"It depends where you're looking from - whether you're on the beach in the summer and you're concerned about the national team, or it's Saturday and you're at Chelsea or Arsenal. You can't have it both ways.

"We benefit as individual fans because we see world-class players. But the price for that is that the national team is suffering."

David Gold, Birmingham City Chairman

another loser comment from man u boss

2007-11-06T02:31:00.000-08:00

well, congratulations to sir alex ferguson as he is the red devil's boss for 21 years. it's a wonder tat u can live up till so old. back to business, i kinda enjoyed myself reading the comments from fergie after his men's effort went down the drain after the dramatic match between arsenal n man united last sat night malaysian time. a typical ferguson i would say, whenever his men won, i can expect words like "we did well today", "definitely is a sweet victory for us", "the effort had definitely paid off",on the other hand when his side lost, words like "howard webb is a good referee, but in this game, he favored the home side", "the referee had been pressured by the home side fans" and etc from ferguson is a norm.

if anyone of u r up to date with the news of football, u definitely will know tat the england fifa had asked each n every club to impose a foreign quota tat limits onli 5 foreigners to play in their start up 11 way back weeks b4, mayb even b4 man u beat chelsea down to 2-nil. the problem is y alex ferguson din voice out his support to the "brillian" idea from the fifa by then but now. is it because he felt the pressure from the gunners? or juz a sudden liking to the idea of the foreign quotas. lets face it, manchester united also had their own squad of foreign players although the manchester academy is producing some local talents for the future, like chris eagles. the list of foreign players tat currently serving the red devils will be as below:

1) Edwin Van Der Saar (Goalkeeper) - Holland
2) Patrice Evra (Defender) - France
3) Christiano Ronaldo (Winger) - Portugal
4) Anderson (Forward) - Brazil
5) Luis Saha (Striker) - France
6) Ryan Giggs (Midfielder) - Wales
7) Park Ji-Sung (Midfielder) - South Republic of Korea
8) Nemanja Vidic (Defender) - Serbia
9) Nani (Winger) - Portugal
10) Gerard Pique (Defender) - Spain
11) FangZhou Dong (Striker) - China
12) John O' Shea (Defender/Midfielder) - Republic of Ireland
13) Johnny Evans (Defender) - Northern Ireland
14) Darren Fletcher (Midfielder) - Scotland
15) Mikeal Silvester (Defender) - France
16) Darron Gibson (Midfielder) - Northern Ireland
17) Carloz Tevez (Striker) - Argentina
18) Tomasz Kuszczak (Goalkeeper) - Poland
19) Craig Cathcart (Defender) - Northern Ireland
20) David Gray (Defender) - Scotland
(Information from www.manchesterunited.com-the official website for manchester united)

now the start up 11 of man u consist of of van der saar, giggs, evra, ronaldo, tevez and vidic which to be exact is 6 foreigner players in the start up 11. even in the last arsenal man u clash, anderson also played in th starting 11 which makes it 7. is it sir alex ferguson failed his math since elementary level or wat?? there's no point talking about supportin the idea of foreign quota if u r not following it or rather onli supporting it after the effort given by ur team was flushed down the toilet bowl after the wenger's team enjoyed it.

Think before you act, Sir Alex Ferguson. Dun think by just using your lower half of the body.

P.S: sorry la ruud_away, I am a noob in football mah. hope u like it. peace.. :)

pekerjaan atau perbuatan???

2007-11-05T06:41:00.000-08:00

semalam, ruud_away bagi aku tgk satu petikan mengenai sama ada berdosakah seseorg remaja menonton vcd lucah yg telah di"label"kan sbg perkara maksiat sepanjang masa ni. tp dlm petikan tu, ada sesuatu yg tak kena pd tempatnya. "Menonton filem lucah merupakan pekerjaan yang sia-sia malah berdosa lantaran melihat aib orang lain dengan sengaja. " sejak bilakah menonton vcd lucah menjadi sesuatu pekerjaan dlm masyarakat Malaysia yg telah mancapai kemerdekaan yg ke-50 pd tahun ini? Dlm borang2 rasmi Malaysia, pd ruangan "pekerjaan" mananya dtg pekerjaan penonton vcd lucah?? kalo pun ada, apakah gaji bulanan tuk org-org yg bekerja sbg penonton vcd lucah ni?? RM2000 sebulan tau RM3000 sebulan??? korg bleh tanya pd KEMENTERIAN PENDAPATAN DALAM NEGERI(KPDN) sama ada dlm registry kementerian ada tak jawatan tuk penonton vcd lucah.
kalo ada, aku tak kisah tuk menjadi salah satu drpd penonton-penonton vcd lucah yg leh menerima gaji bulanan sambil goyang kaki. senangkan? tonton vcd saje, takyah pikir susah2 ttg plant design ke, process dynamics ke, tau engineering econs. tak yah buat planning, tak yah pergi konference, tak yah berhimpit-himpit dgn org lain masa nak pengangkutan awam pergi kerja. hanya kena ada satu tv, biar dia sama ada lcd ke, plasma ke tau crt screen, dgn vcd player. kalo nak sound effect, pakai je sound system yg canggih2. kerja ni tak yah keluar dr rumah, tak yah bayar lebih tuk pangangkutan, mungkin je kena bayar tuk snek2 masa menonton. lebih menguntungkan dr pergi pejabat mematikan sel2 otak memikirkan meeting dgn design, lagipun kena pressure dr bos2 yg hanya tau ttg golf dgn cigar je.
biarlah bahasa anda tepat sebelum anda memberi nasihat kpd org lain. takkan nak bagi nasihat anda sbg bahan lawak je kan? berikutnya petikan yg aku dpt dr ruud_away.

"Soalan:
Saya selalu melakukan perkara-perkara maksiat seperti menonton vcd lucah dsb. Apakah perkara yang boleh saya lakukan untuk mengubah tabiat buruk saya itu?

Hamba berdosa, Banting

Jawapan:
Dorongan syahwat dan ingin mengetahui perkara yang berkaitan dengan perkara tersebut biasanya sangat bergejolak bagi kaum remaja. Dorongan dan kecenderungan itu merupakan fitrah bagi seorang remaja yang normal. Di dalam Islam dengan jelas ditunjukkan cara remaja untuk mengatasi gejolak syahwat tersebut. Rasulullah SAW menganjurkan jika seseorang belum mampu berkahwin hendaklah berpuasa agar syahwat mereka dapat dikawal dengan baik.

Menonton filem lucah merupakan pekerjaan yang sia-sia malah berdosa lantaran melihat aib orang lain dengan sengaja. Kesan yang paling besar dalam melihat perbuatan yang tercela tersebut adalah melemahkan daya fikiran dan menumpulkan hati. Kesan untuk jangka panjang jika telah berumahtangga nanti dikhuatirkan mengurangkan rasa ghairah dan nikmat bersuami isteri kerana telah terbiasa melihat dan menyaksikan perkara yang melemahkan daya fikiran tersebut"

a month's gap

2007-11-04T02:36:00.000-08:00

after all the hanky-panky with the month's workload, now the semester had ended juz with the finals looming ahead waiting for the great battle btw the brains n the papers. yesterday went out for the arsenal-man u match, n lucky to say tat man u deserve the draw. dunno y but i freaking hate it when man u wins, maybe because the Indians will start boasting bout how brilliantly the players played(cheated) for the victory. n another great news is Chelsea had triumph over Wigan for a sweet 2-nil victory, once again proved Chelsea is moving ahead after the sorrow of jose mourinho had left the club.

hanged out at ipoh shark until 2am partying enjoy the moment b4 the real study kicks into my life. cyber cafe session n last but not least, some light eating after all the jack daniels, carls and partying b4 headed back to uni. reached room around 521 in the morning n hit the sack straight away till a student of utp sms-ed me tat woke me up frustratingly. it had been my 2nd time clubbing in the 20 years 11 months and 14 days since i was brought to this mother earth. i had to say i enjoyed both clubbing experiences. mayb is because the first time everything looks new to me, n 2nd time there r more uni fellas join in n bring up the joy of partying. :)

after few hours of hangover, now it's time to get kicked into real study mode. hope this sem ill b in the deans list award ceremony. pray hard~~~~~

the most champion driver i'd ever met

2007-10-09T10:14:00.000-07:00

last sat morning i was supposed to wake up n head down to kl at 930 am but i overslept not until 3 mins b4 jason walked into my room (he supposed to send me out to the bus station, thx dude). after packed up all those remaining stuffs, i headed out of the uni towards the bus station in tmn maju, a small town 5 mins drive from my uni. got the ticket n thanked jason for his effort of sending me out, i hopped on to sri maju bus heading south to kl. the bus was scheduled to go to pudu raya but in the rest place of rawang, the bus driver told us tat we r heading jln duta bus station... *woots* need to arrange transport with mum to pick me up from there as there r no public transports like ktm, lrt n etc.

after the duta toll, i was half way asleep till a sudden bad feeling woke me up. the bus had steered its path into jln ipoh instead of jln duta which means extra miles to be covered as the driver has to make a u-turn somewhere n this also means extra time wasted. looking out of the bus anxiously, the bus drove to a housing estate n u wont believe me wat i will say next. THE BUS DRIVER MADE A 3 POINT TURN AT ONE OF THE JUNCTION IN THE HOUSING ESTATE. wow... truly shocking at tat moment, who will be sure tat no pedistrian wont get hurt when the bus driver is performing this truly magnificent skill... but this is not the most champion part yet... after making the 3 point turn, the bus headed towards the duta bus station n we thought tat nth much will happen after tat but reality proved us wrong. the bus driver went up the fly-over n he quickly realized tat he was on the wrong side of the road to get to jln duta bus station. wat he did was HE REVERSE ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FLYOVER N JOIN BACK WITH THE OTHER COUNTERPARTS WHICH ALSO HEADING TO JLN DUTA BUS STATION. luckily there were no accidents occured but curses were heard when the bus was reversing.. too bad i was in the bus n not equipped with any filming devices, or else u all should have a good laughter out of it..

DRIVE WITH CARE, CARE FOR OTHERS......

a crazy week

phew.... at last the most crazy week in my life so far had come to an end few days ago. on the 28th, i went to timezone2 for clubbing session with fu shen, tze ling, erica and wai lun and bare in mind that i havent reach the legal age of 21 to be in a pub (im still 20 y.o. by legal record). woohoo.. the first experience was simply magnificient tho... 3 buckets of beers and 1 bottle of black label and we sort of manage to finish 92% of it with juz me, shen, lun and tze ling drinking most of it. joey, yin2 and her fren joined in later n we did have a good time. to those tat din make it tat dayu, it's ur loss as someone who is truely eye-captivating had appeared right within us...:)

enough of fun n joy, lets get back to work. as etp is drawing closer and closer to the pre-edx a.k.a the final evaluation of the prototype b4 it will be choosen among the other 91 projects to be 1 of the 30 finalist to go in Engineering Design Exhibition (EDX). my group had come up with the idea of having a slide show, movie and finalized with the prototype for the pre-edx presentation not forgetting the A1 sized poster designing. being more well equipped with movie maker, i volunteered myself to be the 'director' and the working crew behind the short 2 mins of video tat we presented for the edx. on friday, preps were done 3 hours earlier b4 the presentation n it did go on well within satisfactory. :)

now, im back in kl relaxing my fatigue body n mind... looking for movie kaki... :)

ooh yeah~~~~~

2007-09-24T20:15:00.000-07:00

thx ming kiat for this brilliant idea on my topic of this post. now i can finally yell out "OOH YEAH~~~~" as my lab sessions for this semester have juz ended 45 mins ago which means no more classes on tuesday... ^.^ with the prototype of the engineering team project at the finishing stage, my heart is skipping out of joy. it sure had been a hard n bumpy semester with the etp looming above my head n the supervisor were like :"I dun want to listen to just progress, I want you all to show the results. No more progress updating if cant provide the results." but now, with the prototype under process, the sv seemed to b more pacified n let us do our things OUR WAY!! :)

the solution engineering sdn bhd said will send the offer letter for internship placement tru email since last sat but till now my mail box still empty. ;( hopefully they will send asap so tat i wont juz onli yell ooh yeah~~~~

Thx Jose Mourinho n fak england FA

2007-09-23T11:24:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday the whole London was shocked with the news of Jose Mourinho is leaving Chelsea after all the efforts he put in to make Chelsea rose to beating Man U down to ground 2 years in a row n have the honour to become the EPL champions. He sent Chelsea to the UECL which onli falls out from the run due to the lost to Liverpool last season. I as a Chelsea fan was greatly sadden by the news, y Abromovich cant foresee the effects of having Jose Mourinho in the manager seat??

England FA, a corrupted body I can say. For an instant, carlos teves was forced to leave west ham when fergie stated his intention of transfering him to man u after seeing his performance. Although west ham refused to let him go but in the end, 'pop' tevez appears with the red devils n bearing the jersey numbered 32. When the season starts, west ham manager told the press that FA is siding man u as FA approves the transfer of tevez from the hammers to the red devils with juz a blink of the eye while to replace the lost of the striker, west ham had face lots of obstruction to sign in an Argentine player whose name I had forgotten.

Bet all the man u fans watched the match of the Man U - Chelsea right? if u do think tat man u deserved to win tat match, kiss my ass n give fergie the pleasure by offering urself. Saha excuting a frog jump in between the 2 defenders with the slightest contact I have seen so far n yet he got a penalty kick while rooney delibrately pushed down A.Cole when he's fighting for a ball n he managed to go away without a card or a verbal warning. SHAME ON URSELF, MAN U FANS. MAN U players r no more professional since they can play whichever way they wished to since the whole england FA is standing behind them giving them support.

Malaysian 50th Indepence Day

2007-08-30T08:59:00.000-07:00

As the clock strucks 12, Malaysia will b celebrating its 50th Independence Day which I will write it in ID at later part of this post. Chosin to stay indoor rather to stay out cramming with each other pratriotic ppl watching live telecast from Dataran Merdeka hosted by 8tv Quickie crew, the time is drawin close to the crutial moment where all the Malaysians will b shouting Merdeka with the big shots from the government including the prime minister YAB Dr. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the deputy prime minister YB Tun Najib, the Yang Dipertuan-Agong and all the leaders of political parties.

The clock had juz struck 12 n Dr. Abdullah Ahmad Badawi had shouted Merdeka for 7 times across the Dataran Merdeka. Fireworks had been displayed n the national anthem had been sung. Thx to Tunku Abdul Rahman, who is been called as the bapa kemerdekaan, for his fight to gain Malaysia the indepence against the collonization of the British government which granted us n the future generation a free country to live on.

Happy 50th Indepence Day, Malaysia. Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!

Constitution of Malaysia

according to the news, the Perak Crown Prince had plead all the students, the successor of the country to read up the Constitution of Malaysia in order to strengthen the bond between the citizens of Malaysia. Malaysia is celebrating his 50th Independence Day by this 31st August, yet the citizens of Malaysia r getting more n more isolated from each other races. pasted will be the link of the Constitution of Malaysia:

http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_Malaysia

Constitution of Malaysia is the lighthouse to guide the ships in the dark, the teachers to the students, furthermore the parents of the child. yet the politicians r not reading them up, law enforcers playing a fool with it n most of the citizens does not even bother about it. PLS READ THEM UP.. IT'S NOT A VERY TEDIOUS WORK!!! rather than wasting time in front of the computer chit-chatting or surfing for useless materials, click on the link above. bond between the races in Malaysia is juz a click away~~~~~~

happy 50th years merdeka, malaysia

to those that knows chinese, this is a very good post. to those tat dont know, can freely ask ur frens to translate it.

a mini summary of the post: malaysian government had been dumping more than millions into the sea as they provide scholarships to those tat cant even speak english fluently, dunno which states tat connecting malaysia with thailand, dunno tat parliment is being divided into 2 sections, yet they r the ones tat happily took over the scholarships tat r meant for the deserving ones coming back from overseas with a degree in fields such as medicine, engineering n business administration. is the government planned to send all these "creme de la creme" to face the world, leading the world into disaster? wat do u think when one of these "creme de la creme" attending a world conference in medical field for example. leaving this aside, i believe tat all the blog readers still remember tat our malaysian football team had scored extraordinary in the asian cup with a devastating defeat of malaysian 0-5 iran and malaysian 1-5 china. wat happened to those glory days where malaysian football team is one of the top in Asia with Soo Jun Onn, Sathu Singh and their comrades leading the team to shine in the eyes of the world?

a freaking long post

2007-07-24T20:08:00.000-07:00

well, as the title said, this post will b freaking long as it concludes wat i'd been doin in the last holiday. without futher delay, lets set off with the first agenda, shall we?? :)

first off, right after the reaction engineering finals, i rushed back to kepong to start off my holidays while most of my mates starting off their holidays by staying back in the uni n either playing starcraft n dota or juz simply linger around the campus compound chilling off. met ai ai on the first sunday which led to the knowing of pei ting's company a.k.a the Nomad Adventure is organizing Living Planet Expedition. (futher details i had posted up in the previous post)

not long after the end of the Living Planet Expedition, I went down Muar with my family for the first time after a huge time gap in between current visit n previous visit. :P Muar is a good place for food. Varieties of food ranging from otak-otak, fried oyster, pear juice, mi siput n etc will send u mouth watering with the fantastic aroma. those tat reading this post, get a fren from muar n start off ur food craving spree..

ok, after spending a night in Muar, we had decided to move our ass back to KL, a paradize of night clubs, pubs, shopping arenas, n congested traffic. but i din enjoy much time in KL b4 the uncles in Muar gave the bad news of grandma being warded in Hospital Pakar Sultanah Fatimah. my 2nd trip to Muar lasted longer than i had imagine, staying there 4 days taking care of grandma when all my uncles r bz with their daily job. when the situation had turned better, i on my way back to KL after the doc had assured us tat there is nth to b worried about on my grandma's condtion.

however human anatomy is the strangest thing in the world, 2 days after im on my way back to Muar for the 3rd time after receiving the news tat grandma was in critical stage. this time, i spent more time to accompany grandma since im still having my holidays n there's nth for me to do. i canceled off my plans to have holidays in sabah with shen, jackie, etc knowing tat it wont b a good time for me to walk off juz like tat. on the 30th june, grandma had been called back by the Maker.

days had been gloomy since then while we bz preparing for the funeral. we felt the lost of sth important in our life although we know that there's no turning back of this. the onli thing we hoped for is tat she will have great happiness in the afterlife.

13th, July- the former schoolmates of SMKB had gathered around to celebrate Mei Ling's birthday after few years of seldom contact. great fun, good food, n most of all, the friendship between us still can be seen during the party. it was an enjoyable evening hangout with the frens.

on the next wednesday, i started my journey back to uni at 930am to settle the engineering team project. reached at 3pm n was informed tat the meeting with coordinators were at 330pm. haha, without doin much of cleaning the room up, i rushed out to meet up the rest of the team members n the coordinator so tat we still have the last chance of choosing the theme for the project. since then, the holidays had ended for me.. ;(

living planet expedition 07

2007-06-03T09:00:00.000-07:00

sunday, 03 june 07, 4am. was awake naturally after some 5 hours plus worth of sleep n decided to lay still on the bed till 5 b4 proceed with the things tat one usually will do when they wake up. had a quick breakfast of oat bread n a cup of my favourite ceylon teh o', i started getting ready for the arrival of my fren, ai ai b4 heading to lake garden near tugu negara.

we reached there slightly earlier than the requested time n started off with the setting up of station games. this is the first time im helping out nomad adventure in their projects while some of my frens had been very familiar of how the nomad staffs run the projects n some other mini minor things in handling the event. i had been appointed as the person-in-charge of the station n at tat moment when i got to know it, i was petrified. it wont b an easy event as there r more than 40 teams involved n each team consists of 5 person which make up to 200 person running, yelling, n start to get crazy when the event started. since i quit my job at june 04, i had never handled so large group of ppl running around me asking for directions n stuff.

after some 4 hours of playing around with the participants, the curtain finally falls n the event came to the end. draggin all the beaten-up body, i was too tired to carry on somemore n luckily my final task was to submit the results of each team which is piece of cake.(how difficult when it comes to results submission when u juz need to pass the results to the management team n tats it, bye bye..lolx) we din wait till the results being announced as we cant afford to let the energy drained off from our body futhermore. it was a fun day job n nice getting all the marshals from all over kl n selangor area. haha

p.s.-get to know this event from ai ai. remembered had blogged bout the very rare occasion which i met ai ai once i got back to kl.. thx for inviting. :P

You stupid guys!!! Go to todai!!!!

2007-05-30T09:46:00.000-07:00

got this catchy phrase from dragonzakura, a japanese drama of the year 2005. Lead by hiroshi abe aka sakuragi kenji, the special class from a school tat onli scored 36% on the average is aiming to go into the most prestigious university of Japan, Tokyo university which pronounced in Japanese will be todai in short. the most interesting segment in this series is how the students of the special class studied, struggling among themselves to prove tat they r not juz the trash in the society's eye. this somehow reminded me on the GTO series aired on national tv stations long time b4. it does have some linkage there as both the teachers r former gang racers. in a nutshell , spend some time to watch this series if u r not some anti-jap person.

53 hours back in kepong

2007-05-27T09:09:00.000-07:00

been back 53 hours d. met ai ai in a restaurant by very rare chance, text-ed james,ms n ml, chatted with some other frens on9 n watched some series. days without assignments n tests are simply juz terrific, can enjoy the sleep for 12 hours without worrying about studies or assignments dead line, watch series till my vision turns blur or juz simply sitting at home let my thoughts wonder off. juz 6 weeks off from kepong n it turned out to be more n more congested with ppl d. the kepong jj was packed with customers when i went over today n cant even find a parking lot thx to the newly opened kepong tgv. hvn been there since it opened, hopefully will have the chance to go someday. hvn been writting posts for gazillion hours, so this had to be a short 1 since i'd lost touch in it... sorry~~~~~~ will write longer when i get back my touch.. :p till then, cya~~

totally unbelievable

2007-03-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

totally unbelievable, totally shocking.... can u imagine a person got summoned twice a day? really rare occasion huh? wat about twice a day at the same spot? u would think tat the person is really unfortunate right? wat about the time gap between the 2 summons was onli 32 mins apart? totally unbelievable right? but it had happened to me. on the 29th nov 2006, 834am i was speeding along the km8 kuala lumpur to kuala selangor road for some breakfast in ijok with some of my frens n at tat moment the weather was heavily fogged. my speedometer read at 101km/h but i din realize tat the speed limit along the road is 70km/h, n thus i was being summoned for the first time ever. after packing the breakfast for the remaining of my frens who dunno whether still in dreamland or not, i sped back to jason's house with the speedometer reading at 99km/h. at the same place with the same speed limit, i was being summoned for the 2nd time for juz a 32 mins gap.

the summons onli came in after more than 3 months later, which i onli received it on 12th march 2007. how effecient the police is??? aih, looks like my monthly allowance will be reduced for a certain time length. anyone can spare my some money???? :D

tadaima~~~~~~~~~~~~

2007-03-10T08:43:00.000-08:00

wow... seriously..?? i din actually realise tat i had abandon this blog n my frenster blog for such a long period since the last time i updated blogspot was during the cny while the frenster was much more older days. wat to do??? all my brain power had been sucked up by the assignments, the lab reports n the tests tat had tortured me for the past 2 weeks. now finally im back in kepong for a week to recover from all those mental wounds received from all the pressures my lecturers happily gave me.

today was the-full-sleeping- day for me as for the past 2 weeks, i merely got more than 5 hours worth of deep sleep hours burning my midnight oil trying to figure out all those texts n equations especially for the rxn engineering sub tat had drove more than half of my class went crazy over the lab reports. was screwed by the general assistant of the rxn eng lab after he viewed my group's lab report during the viva session. "how certain r u tat we can fully understand the content of this report as there was no bla-bla-bla???""how r u goin to explain to us tat how u came out with this findings?????""where is ur discussion about this part of ur findings??? i cant c any of it...(voices trailed off)" it had been the most terrible 45 mins of my sem since i enrolled into utp but it also had been the most educating 45mins of my sem. my fren once said:"dun call it a mistake, call it a lesson" imagine the g.a. din screw me n my group now, this mistake will be done in the later stage of the study time n even the working life. come on.... my future is a chemical engineer(tho mayb end up b a admin officer in some eng faculty.. but who cares.), i will b responsible for the welfare of the ppl surrounding me regarding to chemical safety or hazardous chemical processes. if u as the employer, will u still b interested in hiring me if i submit a finding report with certain parts left out or not giving some explanations??? if ur ans is yes, i will certainly interested in work in ur company. :)

tomorrow will spend 4 days 3 nights in the national garden in pahang for some time off n getting closer to the mother nature with some of my uni frens. will get back to update this blog on wed. cya by then

happy chinese new year

2007-02-23T07:15:00.000-08:00

DUN EVER GO FOR MEALS DURING CNY!!!!!!!!!! seriously. 2 tables consisting 15 ppl, 6 dishes each table had costed nearly 500 bucks. woohoo!!! not tat we cant afford it but the inflation during the festive period was skyrocketing. no wonder ppl said those who had venture into F&B industries wont go broke so easily, especially those who willing to sacrifice their public holidays n open up the restaurant for business. so guys, try to get into this line of business n earn big b4 sth happened in the future.

2007-02-16T07:52:00.000-08:00

wow finally im back at home getting prepared for the CNY which is onli 2 days after.. after 7 hours of dreadful journey which usually onli is 4 hours plus, im back! the bus driver was juz beyond stupidity coz i'd boarded the bus scheduled for kl which he ended up turning around my area, kepong without much lead where he's goin as he curved up n down, left to right in order to get to jln kuching while there is always a straight road with correct signboards leading motorists to jln kuching from the spot where the bus driver started to drive like a headless fly. the crowd in kl sentral was beyond imagination, nvr once i had to queue up to buy my ticket to the destination im headin to but today it really opened up my eyes. met derrick who had left earlier with gary but they went around for food hunting n somehow derrick onli arrived the sentral almost same time as us.

reached home at 9++pm with an absolute starved tummy(last meal was at 12noon :P), whalloped all the remnants n started to dig out some chocs n beverages kept in the fridge to satisfy my stomach. shared the happenings around me with my family members after the dinner while eyes were planted to the american idol audition where paul abdullah, simon, n randal had picked out their top 24 out of all the ppl who attended the audition. now here i am, blogging b4 hit the sack rejuvenating the body for tomorrow's journey down south to muar... MUAR HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!

Varsity students do badly in MUET

By KAREN CHAPMAN

PUTRAJAYA: One-third of students who graduated from public universities last year have very low English language proficiency.

In fact, 29.2% of the 120,000 graduates scored Bands One and Two in the Malaysian University English Test (MUET), which identifies them as “Extremely Limited User” and “Limited User” respectively.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, who revealed this yesterday, said the situation could not be ignored as the figure was too high.

“This is why we have asked universities to ensure their students' proficiency is improved. This will be done through the introduction of the Soft Skills module at all public universities,” he said after delivering his New Year message to ministry staff.

Mustapa said the vice-chancellors' committee had recently recommended that the ministry make it compulsory for students to score at least a Band Three before they graduate from university.

Under MUET, students are classified according to six bands or levels of achievement from Very Good User (Band Six) to Extremely Limited User (Band One).

“We have turned down the request as this would not be fair to students, particularly those from rural areas,” he said.

When MUET, which tests Listening, Speaking, Reading Comprehension and Writing skills, was first introduced, it was made compulsory for students enrolling in public universities to take the test. However, they did not have to “pass” it to gain entry.

A public university official said his institution organises intervention programmes in English for students who enter the university with MUET scores of Bands One and Two.

“These are really intensive programmes but we can't force students to attend if they don't want to, although we encourage those doing programmes in the Sciences to attend,” he added.

The MUET results will be released today . Candidates can collect result slips from their schools or institutions of higher learning from 10am. Private students will get theirs by post.

when i read bout this, my head went kababoom... english, the tool for higher education can be looked down like this.. wat the heck!! stpm leavers with the MUET results of band 1 n band 2 can enter public university????? (unbelievable...) wat happened to our nation nowadays? band 1 n band 2 result gainers are labelled as extremely limited user n limited user respectively for MUET test. the vocabs used in MUET wasn't too bombastic or rather too hard to be comprehend compared to certain vocabs used in the huge amount of websites available. yet band 1 n band 2 students can enter public university while the high achievers in MUET were rejected to be offered for courses. no wonder UM's std had dropped year by year after the research conducted by the TIMES as the students there were unable to communicate in english fluently. since MUET does not affects the intake of a student into university, y not the government ban it once n for all? there r certain fees for every paper tat had to be taken in public exams tat students r forced to pay in order to sit for the paper. n not every student can afford tat, me myself had to calculate each n every cent tat is my account certainly had the deepest feelings of those poor students. my dad used to say to me, "boy, u better study hard n get a scholarship to help out the family financial situation" n bcoz of this i had try my best to strive for the sky which turned out all the effort to b wasted as i din manage to get a scholarship n had to take up a loan from PTPTN for my higher education. the onli thing i dun understand is y the major race tat had loads of money kept in the bank r able to obtain a scholarship with a MUET test result of band 1 while the other 2 major races (hopefully u get the meaning) with excellent MUET results were deniened of the chance for scholarships or public university???

dun mentioned the students, even the grads from the teachers training center were reluctant to teach science n mathematics in english although the syllibus had been changed since 2 years ago. yet no actions had been taken against the teachers who had the slogan bahasa malaysia bahasa kita deeply rooted in their mind. haih...

education.... educate apa????

Schoolgirls competing to be No.1 in sex game

Other News & Views

A GROUP of female students in a secondary school in Johor Baru are said to be competing among themselves to be the one with the highest number of one-night stands, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.

Each of the 10 students in the group, aged between 13 and 15 years old, would fork out between RM50 and RM100 to be in the game.

The student with the highest number of sex partners within a month would get a “reward”, which ranged from between RM500 and RM1,000, said the report.

Usually, a student would need between 13 and 15 sex partners to claim the “reward”.

It was learnt that the school had expelled some students involved in the activity, but the report added that it was still going on.

> China Press reported that although the Cabinet had decided to postpone a ruling on the minimum mesh size of fishing nets, some fishermen said they would still meet Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin on Monday.

Kuala Sepetang was one of the coastal villages where fishermen decided to wait until the outcome of the meeting before deciding on their next course of action.

when i first read this news piece, i was thinking y my school does not has this type of schoolgirls around. =D imagine u as a guy n out of sudden ur schoolmates which happened to be the opposite sex come asking u for a 1 night stand... wat's ur reaction???

this is the current situation tats happening in our country. who shuld b blamed? the education sys of malaysia? or the group of schoolgirls itself? as a malaysian, i'm seriously disappointed by the education sys tat had undergo some minor changes from time to time but it still revolves around the sys tat had been used for decades. educators seems to have no understanding about the acceptance of certain issues with an open mind. does it seems weird to discuss proper sex education when the student reaches his puberty age?

for ages, the topic of sex education covered is in biology classes, yet that still is a tip of an iceberg. wat about those students tat r taking art stream which do not offer biology as one of their study subs? doesnt they also have their own role to play if the government wish to stop all these negative news to spread on? this year is visit malaysia 2007 year, imagine those foreigners tat came for tours read bout it, wat do u think their reaction will be? i hope tat malaysians doesnt want to be a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, arent we?

english, an international language tat had been used for more than 100 years yet some public universities neglect the importance of the MUET test. in my opinion, MUET is much more easier than papers like TOEFL, etc yet students with a band one result can enter university malaya which once was the proud of the malaysia in education field, not mentioning the standards of it have dropped dramastically every year. wat happened??? can the malaysians use their own manglish when dealing with the international businesses like oil n gas production, automobile business, exporting n importing? if both the minister of higher education n the minister of education do not take immediate action, then the future will have no hope competing against other nations, e.g. our friendly neighbour-singapore. singaporeans had realised the importance of english n mandarin in the worldwide trend n they had pumped in efforts to master both but on the other hand, malaysians had not shown any solid efforts for tat purpose...

punctual?

2007-01-18T07:09:00.000-08:00

i bet some of the readers r watching the series silence by andy hui, a korean chick whose name unfortunately forgotten, 1 member of the f4 yet i forgotten his name n su yong kang. in the starting of the first episode, the leading actor, named Qi Wei Yi who is the president of a certain compnay had said a phrase tat had made my thoughts gone wild.

"zhou, u r a very punctual person. ur performance had earned u a very respected reputation n ur loyalty towards the company i appreciate it a lot. but according to the data u'd provided, u came in n leave the company right on time everyday. however, how long it takes u to the machine for u to punch card? 5 mins? i think is 10 mins. therefore u reach ur desk after punching in at 8.10am n leaves ur desk at 4.50pm. everyday u wasted 20 mins juz for tat. U R FIRED!!!!"

well, in our society, some ppl seems to have the unpunctuality set in their mind. have u ever been to a dinner tat starts on time? especially for those wedding dinners. for chinese wedding dinner, the amount of ppl tat both the groom n the bride had invited was so huge tat we can't have a wedding dinner tat starts right on time. their mind set is somehow like this: "ah... wat for go so early? the dinner wont be starting so early, take ur time to dress up dear..." for wedding dinners, all the relatives had to be at there in order for the dinner to start. this is y i hate such formality dinners.

many of u might hang out around malls with frens for some time killing activities like watching a movie, goin arcade, window shopping or grab the oppurtunity of the sales to buy to ur heart content. for me, goin out with frens is fun n enjoyable but if the person i'd asked din appear on time i would go impatient n the worst case i would go mad. imagine if the bos asked him to b somewhere at sometime n this actually turned up... the guy would definitely leave a bad impression for his boss. time punctuality shuld b imposed to everyone as this is an important part of our life. hopefully all of u would b punctual in future....

back to uni mode

2007-01-17T08:04:00.000-08:00

today is thursday as the clock juz ticked 12am not long ago. in 2 days time i'll be travelling back to tronoh, perak for my 2nd yr 2nd sem commencement(pardon me if the spelling is wrong, lazy to check up my dictionary tat locates at 2nd floor).

time really flies as i was killing my time with some uni mates accompany n most of all the sec school frens who turned up at ai ai's celebration. dun think i'd mentioned it in my earlier postings, but ai ai was seriously charming in her qi pao as usual. wished tat i could have the pics tat we took tat day but sadly it's juz a dream tat is far from coming true.

not forgetting the mangas tat i've read during this hols, it juz splendid. i'm not into those BL(boy love) or sissy storyline for sure but more to the detectives or those brain-training type, for exp: death note. this great manga needs alot of patience n skills as it craved out the main lead of the story, yagami light had accidentally get hold on the death note left on his school compound by shinigami n start demonstrating his view of justice. although this manga was juz merely 15 books in total for chinese version but it thrilled up my hols with analytical skills tat yagami light possessed.

now gonna start packing up for the return to the forsaken uni as i always procastinate in doin this. was planned to do it on monday but till now, 0.1% of progress also hvn achieved. haha

sassy girl chun hyang

2007-01-16T08:51:00.000-08:00

yup... today, in fact was yesterday was the final episode of this korean series. actually im not such a big fan of korean series when the winter sonata n some other series after it was aired in the national tv stations but this series had completely caught my attention. after all, it's not way too heart-touching(although im a hard hearted person according to my mum), this series is about the relationship between chun-hyang n mong-rong when they met during their high school time till the time when they finally grad n had a job. compare to korean series, i prefer japs as i love japs. was in japan when i was 1 for few days b4 comin back to this motherland of my parents. yup, i was forcefully brought back to m'sia as i was born in america, how i wish i can protest n stay in america instead....:)

wat a crazy day

2007-01-13T09:33:00.000-08:00

krrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiinnnnngggggggg!!!!!!!reaching out for my alarm to shut it off, my sis came barging into my room yelling:" woi, i tot u wanna go out with frens later???!!!" rubbing my sleepy eyes frustatedly, i had a quick glance at my cell juz laying beside me n oh no!!! it's 5 mins past 10, n i had promised wai lun to be at kepong ktm station at 10.30am. grabbed a quick breakfast n shower myself up to keep myself awake b4 i rushed to meet up with wai lun where we supposed to hit the road all the way to pj assunta hospital for a blood donation. during the journey, a sudden question popped up.
referring to wai lun,me: "eh, y we go pj assunta??? tot selayang hospital was so so near..."voices trailed off as the trios burst into laughters.
wai lun:"er....haha, later i shall tell u y..(a wicked smile was crafted on his face)", k...i kinda get the meaning out of it...well, guys n guys frequency was somehow tuned to be similar.
when reach the blood bank in pj assunta, my body was trembling as i was a first-timer for this blood-donating thing. uneasiness began to creep up but around 12.30pm after all were done, we let out a big relief as the thing was not as frightenin as we tot. haha... had lunch in the cafe there b4 we head back to our respective place.

after 30 mins of resting, a sudden call from kj woke me up asking for dota! dota! wat a word to wake me up... haha, headed straight to meet them although my left hand still feels a bit weird.
then right after the session ends, i went back home for some clothes changing b4 headed out again!

this time was to ai ai's 21st bday... knowing her for some 8 odd years (n living in the neighbourhood), her invitation can't be ignored..seriously enjoyed myself as had the oppurtunity to meet up with 9 other ai ai's 'VIP's a.k.a our schoolmates. some really were out of contact as seldom meet up although most of the 9 were living in the neighbourhood. foods, drinks n jokes were soon enough to max up my capacity as we were once enjoyed our companion during the school time but after secondary school graduation, the time for us to meet up was so so limited. therefore, the 11 of us had exchanged our stories n enjoyed the time(hopefully...)

finally was back to my house 20 mins past midnight with a all-worn-out body... think need to go n get a rest after this... adios...

harbor n rocks

2007-01-11T07:55:00.000-08:00

yeah, u get it right. harbor n rocks is the theme of my blog background. yesterday when i was scanning tru all the template themes n this particular theme caught my attention.

harbor is a place where u can find the joy of those family members who longed for the return of the sailors who finally b by their side n the sorrow of those who lost their dearest to the raging sea. i liked sea since i was a small kid, harbor was the place i longed to be there as i liked to listen to the beating of the waves against the rocky wall, the chirps of the seagulls, the yelling of the sailors n captians, n not forgotten the beam of lights shone down by the lighthouse during the night.

however, this dream of mine had not come true as i was born in a city near the metropoliton. the onli place tat i can seek tranquilness is the forest research institute of malaysia a.k.a the FRIM. walking tru the tropical forest tat the institute preserved listening to the chirps of the birds soaring above my head n the rustling of dried leaves some how takes away my sorrowness n those problems tat had been troubling me.

nature is wat makes my life, i felt great living by nature rather in the city filled with hypocrites n pollution. wish tat i can go visit maldives, heard the nature ambience there is juz simply beautiful.

a whole new world of texts

Hm.... today is the first day I blog in here although I had this blogger account for quite a long time, about 2 years in fact. This marks the near-to-an-end of my friendster blog. As my friendster blog serves as my daily journal n my personal thoughts jotting down place, so as this blogspot serves as.

Greed, a normal word for all human. No one can deny himself to be not greedy at all, unless he is a super liar according to my friends. The emperors of the past all were overthrown for their greediness, ranging from the greed for wealth, health, power, women, or land. Me myself undeniable had my own greed, the greed of having more money to spend on the luxurious items tat now i can onli watch them with saliva drooling down to my feet. Over the years, I dreamt of having mercz as my own transport, banglos as my holiday villas, numerous of spare time gallery watch piece n etc but as I've grown up till now, not even a thing I can achieve n I've learnt tat greed n day-dreaming combination surely will make a person procastinate n lose out to the world. Imagine a country with those who always day-dream about the things they can do to fulfill their greed n do not put in effort, surely the country will b taken over by country who is strong enuf for the purpose. So don't b greedy d la, be real n start to work to achieve ur aim
