~Miserable~

This two weeks, I feel that my life is so miserable. There were alot of tests, projects/assignments & club meetings need to handle. I wished that I can split or clone myself into few parts or bodies to do the multi tasks. I tried my best to settle everything on time. I wished that somebody can guide me how to encounter the problems that I faced it now especially the Survey Practical, that I hate most. Not only me, but the other of my classmates hate it either. It's not the subject that we hate but it's due to the lecturer. Not a lecturer, is a laboratory instructor. I don't understand why he is so ~ etc~ I wished I can use my legs to kick him to death & shout at him: No mortal is wise at all time!

About the tests, I don't have the confidence to answered 3 out 4 test papers that I took. I don't want to blame this to anyone. I should blame myself for not increase the effort to study well. I should use rattan & wipe it on me as a punishment. I need to wake up. Stop day-dreaming~

About the projects, I relieved little bit because most of my comrades are following the schedule & do it on time. I hope that the 'incident' wouldn't happen again for this time.

About the club meetings, I joined 2 clubs & got the committee post for both of it. For the Amanah, I purposely joined this club due to the accomodation. I don't want to stay outside from the campus due to no transportation. For the ICE, I purposely apply for that post because I want to train myself as a leader. But both of this clubs are very active. I need to handle & make proposals for some programmes activities & need to attend the meetings that so called 'compulsory'. That is why I mentioned earlier I wish I have few clones. I faced a situation that I need to attend 2 meetings at the same time. At that time I'm so frustrated & don't know which meeting that I should go. Fortunately, 2 of my bosses form both club were so understandable. I really appreciate it. I went for the ICE meeting first because it is the first meeting for the club & after the meeting, I rushed back to hostel for the another meeting which was the Amanah. Quite rushed. Too tired. I think most of the people think that I should quit one of the club or both~

This is one the poem that I wrote & like most. It suits for the weather now which is raining~

Hujan

Cuaca yang cerah~
Matahari menyinar ke kulitku yang cerah.
Melihat burung berterbangan di langit,
mengingati perkara,
yang ku pernah melaksanakan.

Tiba-tiba~
Cuaca berubah mendadak.
Langit berubah menjadi gelap,
Air hujan turun merenyai-renyai,
mengikut intonasinya~
Bersambungan dengan petir,
yang mengilat tanpa henti.

Hujan turun semakin lebat,
hatiku semakin tenang.
Bunyi petir menghancurkan kegelisahanku.
Air hujan mengalirkan kepedihanku.

Hujan sudah berhenti~
Segala kerisauanku sudah pergi.
Semoga kehidupanku
berjalan dengan lancar~

Zoo Negara

Today I went to Zoo Negara to do the Moral Project, khidmat siswa with my group members. Almost all of us arrived on time at 7.30am at the zoo. Waited the zoo coordinator for around 15 minutes. After the brief, my group separated into 2 groups. My group sent to elephant & giraffe cages to do the service. When entered into the cages, OMG....the smell was 'GREAT'...! The zoo keeper asked me & my friend to clean up all the faeces at the elephant cage while the other 3 went to giraffe cage to sweep the floor...The elephants' faeces were so big..It's like a bulk of gold~ Alot of 'GOLDS'... It smell good too~ The cage & the stage area were so dirty. Alot of faeces & dry leaves on the floor. The elephants eat too much & pee too much...Luckily the zoo provided some boots for us to use. If not, my shoe gone. At 10am was the morning break. I don't have the apetite to eat due to GREAT smell which is still stuck on my nose~ After 20 minutes later, resumed the job back.. Swept the floor at the area & the sitting area for the visitors to watch the elephants..Very hot...Sweat alot~ The zoo keeper quite satisfied with our job. He let us break at 12pm, an hour ealier.. Explored the whole zoo...Its quite big...Alot of animals...Alot of visitors... Saw the flamingo & the other birds fly freely... Walked until very tired...Took lunch at a restaurant..The food prices were so expensive... The price for 1 bottle of 1.5 litre of water is RM3.50....Walao....speechless...rest until 3pm... Chat with the zoo keeper...Now I know that the 1 of the giraffes is pregnant..The elephants are still young, average 30 years old. and the last thing I hear & agree with it, the elephant cage is the hardest cage to clean it up...haha...Nothing to do..all of the job already finished in the morning.. Helped the zoo keeper to feed the giraffes...The animals are quite greedy...like to eat alot...The zoo keeper let us go around 3.30pm...Take some photos...Went back to my hometown by train...So tired & extremely smelly...I still can imagine the GOLD smell~ hahaha...It is a wonderful job...can get the animals closer...can explore the zoo free without any charges...hehe...hope I can go there again & help again if got time~ The sticker pass

1 happy Giraffe family

I want to live like animals; careless & free like animals; I want to live; I want to run through the jungle; the wind in my hair & the sand at my feet~

Green Camp 2009

Green Camp 2009

~Rise of the Green Nation~

Green Camp 2009 started on last friday, 31st of July 2009. It was organized by the Uniten ICE student chapter. The journey started at 9am from Uniten, where the programme committee members & logistic committee members went to the Taman Pertanian Malaysia Bukit Cahaya, Shah Alam. The place is near to my place. Hahaha.. Reached there around 10.30am after the breakfast. Settled all the things in the hall. The chalet look very nice. It's better what I thought. Have a quick meeting before the partcipants arrive. So many changes for the second & third day programme flow especially for the river cleaning. Quite blur with it actually. Pity the assistant director, he need to solve it fast. He quite tension with it. But all of the members were trying to help him to solve it.
The Hall at the Ideallic Village

the Programme Committees were discussing the programme flow before it starts
The participants


The participants arrived at 4.15pm. Around 44 people participated the camp excluded the committee members. The first programme was the Ice Breaking. As usual, the participants introduced themselves. Saw each groups created their own team cheers & mascot. But 1 of the participants was half-naked & acted like a warrior. Bro Ben told me that he & his 2 other comrades are extremely psyco. Hahaha..I think it will be fun to see them play. After the first programme was the welcome speech by the chairman of the organizing committee & the advisor of the ICE student chapter. At night was the second programme, the Rise of the Atlantis. Each groups were provided with some materials to build a building or environment according to the theme that selected randomly by them. First of all, I thought they couldn't build it well because they got the limited materials only. Example, one of the group got the hanger clips & 1 card borad only. But they proved me wrong. They are so creative & built a good structure of the building. Somemore, most of the participants were study the other courses such as EE, EP & ME. After the second programme, the participants can have a rest but for the committees, need to stay back for another briefing by the asst. head of programme, Hui. The briefing is about the river cleaning, the main programme for the camp. Everyone in the programme department scare that alot of problems will happen during the river cleaning. Finished the briefing at 11.30pm. Went back to the chalet. Didn't took bath..Very tired..Saw some of the seniors were playing around especially the head of programme...Hahaha..I felt that the seniors have the strong & good friend relationship..Slept at 1am.

Second day, woke up very early at 4.50am..Need to take turn for bath. 10 people shared one toilet.. Some of them bathed very fast..Some of them bathed very slow..But, all of us were on time. Sharped at 7am, waited at the hall to fetch the logistics guys & went to Klang to set up the things. Unfortunately, the logistics guys woke up late & caused a little delay..Hui was very angry about it..Maybe it's due to the conflict between the both heads of departments..I became the tour guide for them..Luckily we reached Klang on time..After setting up the things, went back to BC with another senior because I need to guide 2 buses to the location. The river cleaning was held at Taman Pengkalan Batu, Klang. It next to one of the dirtiest river in Malaysia, the Klang river. I can smelt the Great Smell of the Klang River~ Helped to ensure the programme flow goes well..Luckily the day was not too hot.. It was a moderate day. Finished the river cleaning & tree plantation at 10.35am. The participants need to do some brainstorming & present their ideas to the judges. All of the groups got their own ideas. Went back to Bukit Cahaya at 11.45am. Reached there around 12.30pm. Quite on time.

At the Taman Pengkalan Batu, Klang

The participants had their lunch & rest until 2.30pm. As follow the plan, there were 2 talks start from 2.30pm. But due to the speakers, all of the programme flow delayed & it makes the programme members had a headache. But luckily, The speakers doesn't talk so much. It still on time. But pity for the participants, they need to listen & they felt so tired due to the previous programme. After the talks, then next programme was BBQ session. Really had fun at that time.. And the most thing that I liked was the lemonade made by Dr. Chua, the senior lecturer & advisor for the ICE student chapter. His lemonade was super good. It's better than the other lemonade that I had before.. Finished the BBQ session at 7.30pm. Talked craps with other committee members..This is the good time to make the bond of the friendship between seniors & juniors closer..Took bath..Do some preparation for the next programme, Tribute to the Mother Nature.. Actually it's a performance night. Each team need to perform a drama or musical performances..1 of the best team was the brown group, they performed the wayang kulit..it's very creative, but they were not winner..the winner was the red group, their story line was better & followed the theme given well..Finished the programme around 11pm. Had another meeting for the last day programme..Really scared that the Wild Run programme will have some problems. Went back to chalet at 12am. Discussed the programme flow with the seniors..Bro B looks so tension..He need to recheck back the Wild Run programme.. Slept at 1am++

The last day, felt that the time pass so fast..woke up at 4.45am..Need to called the participants to wake up at 5.30 am because the next programme, the Moonlight Walk starts at 6am. It's a morning walk & the participants need to walk in the dark without the torchlight. After they came back to the camp, they were surprised because they were going to have a pop quiz for the Moonlight Walk. Haha...most of them couldn't answer it well..Haha...luckily there was a group to win the breakfast prize..Make another meeting before the Wild Run starts.. Quite nervous..hoped that it will run well.. I was stationed at 4 season Garden with Y. I think there will be gossip when i reach back to Uniten. While on the Wild Run, I forced the 1 of the male particpants of each groups to act like a girl while the female participants to act like a boy. they need to say I love you & I hate you on the same time..Haha..How bad am I..Suddenly..the sky turned to dark & rain..I pity the participants..They need to run through under the rain..but I think it's fun for them because This is the time to be wild & chill...

The programme had been cancelled due to the weather. Went back to chalet by car. Looked at all of the participants...Almost all of them were wet. But 3 out 2 groups managed to finished the Wild Run in less than 1 hour & 15 minutes..Wow...they really ran all the time..Really good..Every participants & some of the committee members took bath. I didn't bath because still need to packed the things. The camp finished at 11.45am with prizes presentation, speeches & photo session.

Everyone went back to Uniten at 12.30pm..I didn't go back to my house although the Bukit Cahaya is near to my house because I have another meeting at 8.30pm..Felt so tired..
Last day of the camp


Conclusion:
  • Learn alot of things on how to organize a programme
  • Make alot of new friends especially the CE seniors
  • Almost know some of the seniors 'inner' attitude..Haha..
  • Understand the awareness of the importance of Green Nation
  • Felt something strange in my heart, planned the camp for 5 months++ already but finished it in 3 days only.
  • All of the programme flow ran well. Almost on time. Thanks to the leadership of the Programme director who insisted to be punctual on time.
  • I hope that next year the ICE student chapter will organizing this camp again.
