Summary of 2011~

It was a busy and frustration week before the 2011 ends. Final exam is still going on although just finished for the first week. Last minute revision due to no study week. Pros and cons for the method of study although I not use to be with it. Just came back from my university after my second paper in the morning. I felt so stress when some of the people are enjoying to celebrate their new year countdown while some of us need to stay in the house and study. But I have no choice. Anyway, today's blog I would like to write a summary of 2011. Some memories are happy and some are not. About studies, I am officially a Final Year Student or Senior Year Student and it will last on next year May. It shows that I'm getting older. Older, Wiser? Hahaha~ Some of the juniors asked where are the fourth year students including myself? Seldom see us in the campus. That was how I felt when I seldom see my seniors in the campus. The reason is simple because our timetable is not so pack. But wait, less subjects to study doesn't mean that we are very free. The last semester for this year, I faced 3 Group Projects + 1 Main Project for my Final Year Project (Including 2 Progress Reports + 9 Separated Days & 19 times of Laboratory Testing), 4 Main Assignments, 12 Laboratory Reports, 2 Presentations, 7 Tests and 2 Quizzes in 14 weeks and there is no mid semester break. Maybe some of the readers think the workloads that I faced is not much but I felt that this is my second worst semester that I faced. The most worst, I will keep it for the next semester. Haha~ Time management is really important and I think I manage to do it well. Last semester, the grade is quite good. But for this semester, may God bless~~ About co-curriculum, I was too active during the early of the year. I had to supervise some of the activities and volunteered myself to help a career fair. I gained a lot of experience form here especially Patience. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to attend a conference organized by a well known civil engineering society in Kuala Lumpur and it was a good experience for me and I learnt something that I cannot learn in my university. During the middle year, I was managed to revive back a camp for the chapter and this time, we went to Tanjung Piai, Johor. Although it was not great if compare to the previous camp due to some misunderstanding and quarrels happened, but overall I felt satisfied because it was a learning stage for everyone to learn on how to work with a team and lead a team. Finally, on early October, I officially stepped down and I passed my burden to another leader to lead the chapter. I can felt what my predecessors felt before. Relieved~ No more pressure~ I am happy that the chapter is famous among other clubs in my university. Now, I have to fully focus my studies as my sister advised me. This year, I had to go for an industrial training that is required by my university. It was my second time to work since last 2008 where I worked in a bookstore. I was nervous during the first day. My supervisor was on leave and I was alone for 2 days and cannot visit the construction area because they haven't provide the PPE for me. I just sat in the office and read some of the documents that are relater to my works. During the work time, I had to worked from 8am until 7pm although I can leave at 5pm. Sometimes I had to work overtime until 8-10pm. I think it was a good training for me and even my visiting lecturer supported that every students should work for overtime. I faced some of the incidents that the sub-contractors who like to create troubles but luckily I managed to control them. Sometimes, I saw some of the human faeces on the floor. How uncivilized the worker is. Haha~ Thanks to my supervisor and seniors who took care of me well during my training. I think the building is going to complete soon and I hope I have time to go visit there back soon. The friendship among my classmates is getting good. After the industrial training, we managed to go for another trip and this time, we went to Singapore. I was surprised the Singapore's system. Excellent! But one thing I don't like is the attitude that some Singaporeans gave to Malaysian, the price and the speed of escalators which were really fast for me. Other than that, it was a good place to visit. We enjoyed well although got some incidents happened. Meanwhile, I managed to have a gathering with them on my big day and they were so sporting and followed the theme. Thanks to them! As for my college's friends, we still had few gatherings. I felt that I am the youngest among them because most of them already started to work permanently and I am still studying. Hahaha~ Glad that they are still happy. Early of this month, I was shocked that my long time friend since primary school is going to marry soon. She is the first person among my friends. Congratulations to her! I hope both of them stay happy ever after~ There are few cases that make me sad and frustrated. As I believe, everyone is selfish but the level of selfishness among them are different. I need to becareful and need to be independent sometimes. About my relationship? Hahaha~ Still the same. Single but not available. Maybe some of the readers start to think am I gay?? I let the readers to decide. I am happy with my conditions now although I like to joke something naughty with my peers.

1000 words.

What!? 1000 words for a summary. I think it is not a summary but it is a LONG ESSAY! Hahaha~

I hope everyone will be enjoying their countdown tonight.

I hope this song will be play during my convocation or graduation night on next year~

P/S: Just now when I took my exam in the morning, there were 2 pairs of students discussing or sharing information about their answers during the final exam time and there is no action to be taken on them. Can they discuss actually during the final exam? they really have the courage to do so.

Seniors & Juniors?

Suddenly I would like to write about something that keep my mind, which is the 'Seniors & Juniors'. What I saw today in my course department, the relationship between the seniors and juniors is getting wider. Not like last time, when I was a freshman in my university. The seniors are really friendly and the juniors can easily mix with them. The thing has changed. Nowadays, the seniors and juniors have their own world. Separated world. No connection between both sides. I saw some of the clubs and societies are trying to pull both sides closer but its failed. The students have their own agenda. They think they should concentrate on their studies and mix with their own peers only. With this mind set, they will be in a small group forever and may not know what is going on outside. There were few juniors said that the seniors are not friendly, not helpful and too ego. Same goes to the seniors who said the juniors are too ego, disrespect, immature and not independent. I think this phenomena will continues until they work in the future although I really hope this thing should come to an end. I was really lucky to have good seniors who helped me throughout my studies although they already graduated. Same goes to my former places, where the seniors who were willing to teach me something that I didn't learn in our class before. I appreciate their help and advice. Thank you to them. Because of them, I try to help the juniors whenever they need my assistance. But sometimes, the way juniors ask for help make me sad. Meanwhile, I noticed that some other universities implemented a program which is each students will have a senior to guide them throughout their studies and I think it was a great idea. At least the juniors will know well not only about their course but also the life of a student. I was wondering why my university do not want to implement this program? I think it's enough for to write craps here.

Happy Boxing Day to those who have presents to open it up~

Merry Christmas 2011

You better watch out,

You better not cry.

Better not pout,

I'm telling you why.

Final exam is coming to town~

He's making a list,

He's checking it twice.

You're gonna find out if you've prepare it or not.

Final exam is coming to town~~~

I would like to wish the readers a Merry Christmas!

And to those who will facing Final Exam soon, Good Luck!

Christmas Eve 2011

Exactly two weeks I didn't write anything on my blog. So many things happened during this two weeks. On the first week, I need prepare for my first final year project presentation. I'm not the person who likes to do presentation or give a speech. I'm lack of confidence. But I have no choice. The marks for my presentation is 30/100. The marks can change the grade for my project. Luckily, there is not test on the first week. During the presentation, there were two examiners to see the students' presentation. One was my project's supervisor and the another was a appointed lecturer which is under the same environment department. I think I have a 'Good' luck on my presentation day. I got the first place to present my project. I have a little phobia to be a first person to present anything. Thanks to my first experience when I went for a job interview after my A-Levels. It was a group interview session and I was the first person to be interviewed. I was so scared until I had a problem with my pronunciation. After training in my university's years, I think I'm getting a little bit better. During my project's presentation, everyone were looked serious and listened what I said. After my presentation, the examiner fired with three questions to me with his M-16. Actually, I do not understand what he asked due to his thick ascent of English language and I said "Pardon me" for few times. Luckily, my supervisor helped me to revise his questions and told me what his questions all about. really thanks to him. I felt dissatisfied with my presentation because I think didn't present it well and couldn't answer a question from the examiner. The examiner suggested few points to me and I need to take of it. After my presentation, I have to wait for 8 others to present their projects. It last for 2 hours. I learnt something for the other presenters how they present. My project works need to postponed due to test week and final exam. I will resume the works back right after my final exam. I hope I can finish it on time. Next day was my last registration timetable before I graduate. I noticed that some of my coursemates couldn't register their timetable because they updated the subjects on the wrong semesters. I think they need to pay the fines if they want to register during the Add & Drop session on next semester. This week is not a good week for me. I had to face 'Triple Kills' : 2 Tests & 1 Group Presentation. Last Tuesday night, I received an email. I thought I received a notification about my test information but I was wrong. It was about something lost in the laboratory during a software class and if the culprit didn't return it back in two days, the whole section will face the consequences which is to get nil for the marks of the subject. I was so shocked with it. I didn't attend for the class and I was wondering why I was being included. Almost everyone were angry about this matter. It was a big blow before we face our 'Triple Kills'. On Wednesday morning, I had a group presentation first. All of my group members wore the same shirt.

The shirt~

I was happy that my wish to see all of the group members to wear the same shirt in front of the lecturer. The lecturer was so happy to see us with the shirt and joked that we had realized that the 'Soil Man is Simple Man'. Hahaha.. Although the shirt is quite expensive but I think it is worth to wear it. During the group presentation, only two out of five member will present and again, I was the 'Lucky' to be the first person to present it back. Oh man.. I need to present the geotechnical subjects group project for 2 consecutive semesters. Luckily, the lecturer didn't ask so much about our project. I think thanks to the shirt, we survived. After the presentation, I don't have the mood to do my revision before the night test. Same goes to another test on the next day. I do not know I can get a better GPA on this semester or not. I felt so tired. There is no Christmas & New Year celebration for me. Only laptop, notes & text books will accompany me for the whole weeks. I hope during these weeks, I have a good 'Silent Night' for my revision. No music out loud by the neighbours from my hostel. Same goes to the library users, I hope they can keep their tongue behind their teeth and let the library in an ordinary way.

The War has just Begun!

Sleep in Heavenly Peace~~

P/S: The culprit just surrendered the thing. Thanks God!

Early of December 2011~

3 weeks left before the year 2011 ends. I just came back from an event in my university. It was my second time to attend the event. There were few improvement for the event especially in the decoration and performance. It was held at the multipurpose hall. The theme was Bollywood. I managed to wear my Kurta or Jeeba again. I felt disappointed because the club that I nominate couldn't get it. I heard something the category had been canceled due to no nomination. I was shocked. But I don't want to care it anymore because I know that my team & I done the very best to uphold the chapter's name. I think it will the last event that I attend for this year. Last week was a miserable week for me. It was like a jackpot to me. I vomited for 4 times during a midnight. I cannot sleep properly. Wake and sleep. After the vomit session, diarrhea was the next. 8 times I need to release the faeces from my bowel. I felt my whole body like a squid. Too soft. But I still forced myself to the campus to take a quiz test and attend a lecture class. After the class, my roommate fetch me to a clinic for a check up. Many thanks to him. Glad to have him as my roommate. Appreciate his help. The doctor told me that I diagnosed with food poisoning. It was the first time I got it.I slept for the whole evening. ate bread for my lunch and dinner. Tasteless. On the next day, I felt better and manage to do my laboratory testing back. Until Friday, I went to my neighbour university's library. From what I saw, it looks better than my university's library, in sense of books, services, comfortability. I think I will come back and get some books and journals to read for my project. While on my way back home, I received a call from my sister that my paternal grandfather just passed away due to high blood pressure, which is caused by high fever. He has been admitted in to the hospital for a week due to stomach problem and transferred Baling Hospital to Sultan Abdul Halim Hospital. I felt sad that I cannot see him for the last breath. Rushed back to hometown during that night. I didn't sleep for the first night, accompanied my cousin to take care of the coffin. Slept for few hours in the morning. Funeral started on the second night. Too tired. Almost all relatives came back for the funeral. It looked like a mass gathering. There were cries and laughter. I hope he will rest in peace. After the funeral, I saw my father's face expression. I sensed that he miss his hometown. Start from next year, the Chinese New Year not the same anymore. I think the only day I will go back to hometown is during the 清明节. This week, I didn't do my laboratory testing. I concentrated more on my revision on my test. After the test, I realized that I need to work more hard. I cannot play too much already. I saw few juniors and they told me that they seldom see the final year students in the campus including myself. This is what I felt when I seldom see my seniors when they were in the final year. Time flies fast. Next week will be my project presentation and I haven't start to do the slides. Next 2 weeks will have 2 tests left. After Christmas, final exam starts. After exam, resume back my project and there is no semester break for me. I hope I can finish it on time. Need to take care of my health well because currently a lot of people sick due to hot and cold weather. Have a good weekend break before resume back my war~

Although I cannot attend his concert this weekend, but I still can listen it from Youtube.

一千個傷心的理由~

End of November 2011~

Almost 2 weeks I didn't write for my blog. I just started back my project lab testing on last Tuesday, using a glass container to adjust the temperature of the sample. It is not easy to cool down the sample that you want. I felt lonely when I do my testing this week. Actually I need someone to help me to do it. Who wants to help me? I don't think nobody will help because it is an individual project. I thought I can finish the testing by this year, but now, I think no because I just realized that I still have more than 20 tests need to be done. I hope I can finish by January next year so that I can focus on my thesis. Besides my final year project, I was facing another dilemma. Suddenly all of the lecturers throw all of the projects to the students to do it and the due dates are almost similar. One of the project, required us to find site investigation report including hand calculation from the consultant firms. I tried to help my group members to find source from my seniors. It is not easy to ask seniors to help since they are busy or it is irrelevant for them to give classified reports to the junior. Luckily, one of my group members managed to get few reports from his previous internship company. Thanks to one of my senior who helped me also although he is busy with his postgraduate study. He gave me a good impression about a senior and he changed my thoughts. I will help to provide information that my juniors wanted and try to advice them if they needed. Next month would not be a good month for me. Presentations, project reports submissions, tests and finally, final exam. I still have a month to go before the final exam meets me. So nervous about it. I haven't prepare anything. And yet, next week, maybe two lecturers will reveal my test results. It will be a BIG Bang for me. Last Tuesday, I attended a dinner event organized by the juniors. The atmosphere of the dinner reminds me about last two years ago, when I organized the same & first event in my university. It was tiring but yet I learnt something valuable from organizing that event. The food was nice but not enough to make my stomach full. I didn't stay up until the event because I have to rush back and finish my works. What a senior year student. Last Sunday, I attended my uncle's wedding. He told me that now its my generation's turn to marry already. I was like: @.@~ I still don't have a girlfriend and I haven't graduate yet. Next week will be a hectic week for me. One of my lecturer told in the class that even Men can cry in the toilet, don't be surprise with it. I hope nobody see me cry in the toilet.

Carmina Burana~

P/S: Grandaunt just passed away on Thanksgiving Day. May she rests in peace~

11th November 2011

I read newspaper today and I was surprised. 723 couples married on the special day. I saw some of my friends posted about the auspicious day that need to find partner, enjoy with partner, or find your friends to meet up on their Facebook & Twitter. I didn't go & find partner to celebrate the day. Instead, I went to a place again and took samples on yesterday. The staff joked with me that why I didn't marry today? Haha~ I almost forgot that yesterday is 11/11/11. Busy to take the samples at that time. Went to a dump site of the place for the first time. Too much of food wasted by the people who think they are rich. The odour of the sample is unpleasant. My project mate and I cannot stand with the smell and almost want to cry and vomit. I'm wondering how the workers can stand it and work for a long time. After the collection, we had our lunch at their staff quarters. I still can remember the smell of the food waste. It was far worst than the faeces that I usually see. After the laboratory testing on it, I had KFC as my dinner. I still can remember the smell again. It almost similar with the Cheesy Wedges taste. It was a memorable smell I ever had. Next week I will going to have double kill. More workloads need to settle. I hope I have a strength to face it.

Joke of the day: My draft final exam timetable just released. I have a paper on 1st of January 2012. If nobody appeal or complain it, Haha~ It will be a New Year gift for me~ God bless everyone~

Do not waste your food/drink. More people are unfortunate than us on the Earth. Think~

SNAKE in the HOUSE!

I don't know today is my lucky day or not. When my mother wanted to clean her sport shoes in the living shoe, she heard something Pist Pist~ Suddenly, there was a snake near to her shoe! There was snake entered in my house. My mother was shocked and I saw her felt down on the floor and yelled for help. I was shocked too until my whole body was freeze. I don't know what to do. I don't know how it entered. It was the first time a uninvited guest entered my house illegally. The snake went here & there and hided itself. My mother gave me a mop to kill the snake. I was afraid to locate the snake. After 10 minutes ++ later, I found it near to the sliding door in the living room. No much time, I used the mop to squeeze the snake and shooed it our from the house. Still in squeeze moment, my mother used another mop to hit the snake's head. She sprained the arm due to the fall and couldn't hit it hard. I changed the mop with her and hit until it died. It was a horrible moment for me. It was the first time since I stay here for 6 years. After cleaned the floor and throw it away, I rushed to a hardware shop, bought a packet of sulphur and pour it on the boundary of my house. I hope it can prevent the snake to enter my house again. I almost get heart attack. Luckily my mother and I are safe for now. I pray that no more uninvited guest enter my house again. What a day for me~

RIP~

Halloween Day 2011~

I am struggling with my studies now. My spirit of study still haven't recover after a full of 7 months of work & holiday. I am wasting a lot of time to day dreaming. If I fail anything in the future, the only person that I should blame is myself. About Halloween, it is not a main celebration/event in my country although got some places use the Halloween theme as their business marketing. Furthermore, even some universities and colleges organized a Halloween Night Party to let the students to enjoy. I am wondering when is my university will organize this kind of party, instead most of the time organize those night dinners that only sit, listen to some speeches, eat, watch some bored performances? I think it will be not so soon since my university is a conservative type. Anyway, I would like to wish the readers a

Happy Halloween~~

I hope you won't get chase by any 'thing' tonight~

Dream Chaser~

Happy Deepavali 2011~

I would like to wish to all my Indian friends a Happy Deepavali! May the glow of happiness, joy, peaceful & prosperity brighten your days in the year ahead~

Good luck to my coursemates who will going to face the Triple Kill on next week!

183th Post~

This post is my blog's 183rd post and it is same with my height which is 183cm. A lot of people said I so tall but I do not think so. Still got a lot of people are taller than me. There are pros and cons to be tall. Be grateful with your height. You have a good and healthy body. Protect it. Love it. Its already a month past for my final year studies. The road that I face now is getting harder to walk. Although next few days will be a public holiday and most of the students will going to skip their classes before and after the holiday. But I do not have time to celebrate. More works need to be done and I need to use my free time to do my revision before the tests come. There was a lecturer reminded students in the class that 'Understanding' is really important. I agree with him because if I understand the theories, I can remember it longer than I memorize it. The lecturers are teaching fast. It means that more things need to read and understand. Next week, I will going to face Triple Tests >> T.T I hope my revision will sufficient for me to do it well. Meanwhile, I haven't start my first progress report for my project. I'm still searching some books and journals to find information my project. My laboratory testing was not smooth on last Thursday. There was an error occurred on an apparatus. It took 3 hours for me to calibrated the apparatus and it gave me a frustration moment. Next day, it was much better. I know the flow how to do it. Now, I understand how the seniors felt last time. Everyone looked fatigue, rushed their works and finished it on time. During their convocation, they smiled and laughed so happily. It was like a priceless moment for them. When I see the juniors, some of them are pampered. I hope they will learn how to be independent when they do their internship during their third year of studies. Just now, I managed to watch the final match of Rugby World Cup. The team that I supported won the cup even though the margin is merely 1 point only. I almost get heart attack when the opponent almost win it. It was worth to watch them to win. I hope I will win my battle soon~

A good song from Carl Off~

14th & 15th October 2011~

I was so exhausted on the last two days ago. On the first day, I need to take some samples with my classmate at a place. We were lucky because our supervisor accompanied us to get the sample. He helped us to arranged an appointment with the person in charge there to collect the samples. We reached at the place around 10.30am. Almost 5 years I didn't go there. The place changed a lot. We met the person in charge and he treated us a second breakfast meal. I was shocked that he is a high rank manager and I felt 'paiseh' to eat free meal from him. During the conversation, he told us that university's life is the most best during our life and I agree with him. After the meet, he asked his supervisor to fetch us to some places to collect the samples. I was so excited when I reached at the first place. I saw a lot of fresh things there and I even can smell the fresh air of the place. It was a wonderful experience when we handled the materials. For the second place, it was a prohibited place. I was fortunate that I entered there with permission. The view was so nice. I wish I can stay there. After the samples collection and lunch, we rushed back to the laboratory to start our testing. We reached back at 4.30pm. The laboratory was so hot. The air-conditioning was not function at all. It just blow the hot air in to the room. My laboratory skill was not good at all. My supervisor was willing to stay back, taught & helped us to test the samples. I would like to thank him for helping us throughout the night. Worked until 11pm. It was so tiring. I skipped my dinner to finish the test. Now I can feel like an engineer, do the test until forget to eat dinner. After the laboratory works, I went back to my apartment. I met my ex-roommate & housemate. I had a good time to chat with them until late night. I only slept for three hours. On the second day, I went to the hall and to help my lecturer to help out the convocation preparation. It was my first time to see the whole process of the convocation in my university. It was so protocol & messy. I saw some of my senior wore the graduation robe. After the convocation, I managed to met my seniors and had photographs with them. They looked so happy. I had two feelings at that time. First I was happy that they managed to graduate after 4-5 years for hardship. Another feeling was my time will come. Next year convocation will be my turn. I can't wait for the time to come. But now, I need to walk through the first road that filled with thorns. I hope I have enough strength to make this through.

Even lovers need a holiday~ Far away from each other~

First Week of October 2011~

WARNING: LONG POST! PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA~

September 2011 ended well. I like the first week of October because one of the days is my Big Day. I had a gathering with my former college Taekwondo friends at SP on the first day of October. It has been 2 months we didn't meet. All of them are working now except me. Not only them, most of my same age friends are now working. I don't know what to say. I should be lucky because I am still a student or I am late to start my working life? But one thing for sure, my real test is just started. I can feel the pressure in my brain. My study life is getting harder each day. It is good to have a gathering with the old friends because at least, I manage to get some updated information about their personal or working life. I was happy to received a gift from my best buddy. It was a good gift and I will use it during the formal day. Thank you Apple! Next day was just a normal day for me. It was a relaxing day for me. I had a fine dinner with my family before I went back to my university. It was a great dinner until my stomach was bloated. When I reached my hostel, I need to clean up my house again. Sometimes, I feel bored to do the house chore by myself. But I have no choice. I don't like my house to be dirty. It was a lone night for me in the room. I don't have the mood to start to find information for my project. the only thing I done was to browsed my Facebook, Twitter and also the Youtube to watched some videos before I sleep. I went out and jogged around my campus during the night for the first time in the new semester. I need to improve my stamina for the next run in November. I saw some of the some of the students were hanging the banners on the road side. The student election is coming soon. But I still cannot feel the election fever, compared to last year one. Next day, I went to the office to meet my project supervisor. My supervisor told me that my project is one of the most easy to do among other students. It is a good news for me? Or it is a bad news for me? During my first class, my lecturer showed a sample of bitumen for the students to see and my classmates managed to tease me with the sample and the name of the sample is Marshall Cake. Nice name with the look of it. When my lecturer asked me for my assistance to solve the projector's problem on the lecture hall stage, some of my classmates wanted to sing a song for me. But luckily, I managed to stop them because I don't want the whole class know that today is my big day. The last class of the day was a bored class for me. There were too much of words that I need to read. It was raining during the evening time but it stopped after the class ended 15 minutes later. Went back to the hostel with my classmates, groomed ourselves for the night dinner. I planned a dinner with some of my classmates together during that night. Thanks to one of my classmate who helped me to book the place to eat. It was my first time to held a dinner with my classmates and it was a buffet dinner. Although there were not much of food varieties but I like the a la carte menu. After the dinner, we went for a karaoke session instead of drinking session. It was my first time to see the ladies to sing in front of me. I was happy that my classmates celebrate my big day together even though it will be the last celebration together. I would to thanks to them for the great night and the gift. And also, I would like to thank those who wished me directly or indirectly. I slept 4 hours only during that night and I need to wake up early on the next morning. I had a laboratory session at 8am. I was so tired and exhausted. It was bad for health if sleep less than 7 hours. During the laboratory session, all of the students were arranged in to 6 groups by the lecturer. I was lucky during that time because I have group members that can do well. I was shocked that when my lecturer said that our report need to be handwritten. It was along time that I didn't write a report by using my own hand writing since my first year of studies. For the readers' information, my hand writing is really 'NICE'. We went to a junction road near to our college building. We need to count the vehicles that pass by the road including those who are cycling for an hour with four interval times. A lot of students looked at us when they drove their cars passed by an wondering what were we doing on the road. Some of them were joking that we were punished by the lecturers for not doing our assignments. It was a good experience for me to learn new things on this experiment and I was lucky because it was a cloudy day for me and the weather was not too hot. My group was the last group to finished the experiment. I think time management is really important and I hope that my group can finish the experiments on time for the next laboratory session. I had less than 40 minutes to have my lunch. The food quality of my university's food court does not improve. Now, I only buy the food to eat from a vegetarian stall because I believe that the stall is the most cleanest among the other stalls. I felt so tired after the whole day of class but I didn't sleep straight away. I started to worry about how to write a good project proposal. I slept early due to tiredness after my dinner. Suddenly, I received a call from a junior. It was a morning call for me during the night time. I almost get angry about it. But luckily I managed to control my temper. I should switch off my phone when I sleep but I have a habit now that I won't switch it off. Thanks to my previous working manager that told me that we should on our phone 24 hours per day unless we are on holiday. =.= Last Wednesday, I had my first class at 11am. Now is the third week of my studies and I still don't have a text book to use for this class. It was bad luck for me because the bookshop is currently out of stock for the book I want and I need to wait until the end of this month for the new arrival books. I have another option which is to photostat the book or borrow the book from the library. I don't like to have a photostat book to study and when I reserve the book from the library to borrow, I couldn't get it because there was a system error occurred and it was really pissed me off. My classmates searched the book at some of the other universities' book shops but they couldn't find it. Now, I need to write my own notes during the class time and it was quite suffering when the lecture speak too fast. I hope I can get the book soon because my first test will be on the end of this month. After the class, I went to library to find some books for my project to refer. I need to start to love to read books and journals because it will help me to do my projects. I realized that my library books are not up to date. A lot of old books. I am not sure that the old books can help me or not. I scared there are a lot of changes for the technology. I went for the last class of the class and I would like to express that I hate the class so much. The lecturer was not prepared to teach the class and blame the notes that are not good to be used. If the lecturer knows that the notes are not good, then why the lecturer should use it now? I missed my old lecturer who taught me this subject before. Now I need to count on my own to study. I need to find other sources to understand the subject. Next day, I went to Putrajaya with my classmate, to submit a letter to an agency for a class site visit. I was bored to become a class representative. I want to have a rest for being a class leader. Meanwhile, the world is mourning about the death of Steve Jobs, a well-known entrepreneur which created the Apple and iPhone. His life should be an example for the new generation because his life was not an easy life to live. My last class finished at 6pm. I had to prepare for the AGM for the chapter that I lead for the past one year. It was relieved that I managed to maintain the legacy of the chapter during my tenure. It was happy and sad moment when I lead the chapter. I learnt a lot from bad to good things. During the AGM, it was quite messy because the classroom that we wanted to use was being occupied by other people and we need to wait for the class to end before we can do our preparation. There was no PA system at that time. But in the end, the AGM organized well. I was happy the alumnus were back to supported the event and also I saw some of new students who supported the event. Now, I am officially retired. Thanks to the EBs for being with me for the past 1 year. I really appreciate their hard work. Good luck to the new EBs. I think I will miss it. But the main thing is, I was free from active in co-curriculum anymore in my university. Yesterday, I need to meet my supervisor back with my other classmates who do their project under the supervisor. I can feel the pressure is getting higher. Most probably, I need to go to a place to get the material on next week with my classmate and need to start to do the laboratory testing. I hope I manage to come back on time before my seniors' convocation day. I am on my own now. I need to do the testing by myself. I hope it goes well. After a briefing on how to write a thesis, I fall sick. Thanks to my careless, I forgot to bring my umbrella when I went to the laboratory during the lunch hour time. It was raining and I got wet. Luckily I have paracetamols with me. I just recovered today. I need to take care of myself for the eight months of war. I haven't finish my project proposal yet. It was 3% done only and the due date of submission will be on next Friday. I hope I can finish it on time. I think I don't have much time to write my blog already. I will try to write if I am free.

Happy October!

Nevermind I'll find someone like you~

President of UNITEN ICE Student Chapter 2010/2011 AGM 2011 Speech

(Done by aMiR & Edited by YZ)

Thank you Master of Ceremony.

"Civil Engineers are at the heart of society, delivering sustainable development through knowledge, skills and professional expertise"

A very good evening to our beloved UNITEN ICE Student Chapter’s Advisor, Dr. Chua Kok Hua; our new Advisor, Ms. Ean Lee Woen; President of the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus ICE Student Chapter, Mr. Allen Ang Ming Jih; my comrades UNITEN ICE Student Chapter Executive Board Members (EBs) 2010/2011; new Executive Board Members 2011/2012; Fellow Members; Ladies and Gentlemen.

It is an honour for me as the representative of the UNITEN ICE Student Chapter to welcome you to our AGM 2011 today. UNITEN ICE Student Chapter has gone through 3 years after its establishment on 19 September 2008 and we are still proud to become the first Student Chapter in Malaysia. The Student Chapter has organized various activities for the past 3 years such as ICE Exhibition, Green Camp, Green Awareness Campaign & Site Visits and we managed to reach our main objective which is to let the students enhance their communication skill and deepen their knowledge in the civil engineering field. And also, the number of members in our Student Chapter has increased to 302 members, compared to last year which was 200 members. With the support from the members, our Student Chapter managed to become one of the most active academic clubs in UNITEN for the term 2010/2011.

To this, I would like to thank to Dr Ooi Teik Aun, ICE Country Representative for Malaysia for his endless support throughout our 2010/2011 term. Even though he is unable to attend our AGM today due to his health problem, we still can feel his presence in our AGM and hope that he will recover as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, I would like to represent the EBs to thank our beloved advisor, Dr. Chua, for helping us throughout our term. I still remember that he was willing to spend his time even though after the working hour with us, to discuss about some of our activities in his office. Furthermore, from time to time, he managed to pull a few strings to make sure that our activities would run smoothly and that is something we are grateful for. Today is his last day being our advisor because he has to leave the student chapter to focus on his research projects. Thank you Sir and I would like to wish you all the best on your research.

To Ms. Ean, I would like to thank you for accepting our invitation to become our new Advisor. With your knowledge and experience on civil engineering and co-curriculum activities, I am confident that our Student Chapter will improve more in the future.

Next, I would like to thank Immediate Past President, Vice President, Mr. Chow Tze Liang & Ms. Liyana Karim, and seniors for giving me some good advice when I lead the Student Chapter. Despite being final year students at that time, they supported our activities for the term 2010/2011. I really appreciate their advice, help and support.

To my comrades EBs, I’m serious and I’m not joking. Throughout our 1 year term together we braved the fair and stormy weather. The good and bad times, we’ve been through them all. It was excitement, enjoyment, hardship and craziness mixed together and I am happy that we managed to bring our Student Chapter to become a famous club in our university. I really appreciate your hard work and I wish all the best for your studies in the future.

As for the new EBs 2011/2012, I would like to congratulate you for your appointment. You are the new leaders for our Student Chapter. You are chosen based on your honesty, credibility, strength and potential. Become an EB is neither easy nor hard. Do not afraid to try. It’s better to try and fail than failing to try at all. Learn from the mistakes! Don’t keep yourself in a cage and alienate yourself away from others. Come out and have fun learning. By learning, you will be more mature and ready for the future! I hope that the new EBs will do much better than the previous EBs and I wish you the best of luck.

Lastly, I would like to thank to Fellow Members who supported us in 2010/2011 term. I hope you will continue to support the Student Chapter during your studies and gain more knowledge from the activities organized by the Student Chapter. Now, I would like to invite our outgoing Advisor, Dr. Chua, to give his speech. Thank you very much.

Final Year Project Title Selection 2011

Just now, during the afternoon was the beginning of my final year project. It was the final year project title selection day. I need to choose the best title that I can do for the next 8 months. Previously, I thought I want to propose my own project title. But in the end, I didn't propose because I don't have the courage to do so. So, I met some of the lecturers and asked about the project titles that they will propose. I waited for the project titles to release since last week but the management only released it after the Engineering Accreditation Council visit to my university. The titles released on last Wednesday and the students only have 3 days to decide which title to choose. Furthermore, I saw some of the students want to grab the same title. My course department chose the first come first basis system for the students to select the title. I heard one of my friends who study in the public university, if got more students who want to grab the same title, then the system will check which student has the higher cgpa. Maybe it's quite cruel and not fair when they check on cgpa but I think it is a good system because a good students should have the priority to get his preferable title and to excel in his/her project. Not first come first basis. Each systems got their on pros & cons and I hope that my university management will improve the system for the students. Meanwhile, the number of students who are taking the project is 93, more than the previous semesters which the average number is 50 students. Not like other departments, which a lecturer can be book by three students. My course department is still using a lecturer can be book by a student only. Now the number of students increased, the management should increase the capacity of booking. I hope they will do it in the future. Back to the title selection. My classmates and I purposely went to the computer laboratory, three hours earlier before the time to select the title. The reason was we want to book place and get a good computer to select the titles. It was bored to wait for 3 hours. My heart beat is increasing. I took this hours to ask some of other classmates about their choice of the title in the laboratory. I found out nobody want to grab the same title to me because my choice title is quite hard, need to go a far place to get the materials. But I still need to beware and need to click the button fast. I asked my roommate to help me to click the button together with me since he proposed his own title. I was so nervous when the time is here. Suddenly! One of my unimates shouted that she managed to get her title. I was so 'kelam-kabut' until my server was lagging. Luckily, my roommate managed to help me to click it. Really thanks to him that I managed to get my first choice of the title. I saw some of my coursemates couldn't get their first choice. I wish them best of luck on their project. I'm going to search some information for my title and will start to do my proposal soon.

The FUN thing begin today and it will end on next year May 2012~

17th - 23rd September 2011~

WARNING: LONG POST! THIS POST CAN BECOME YOUR SLEEPING PILL FOR THE NIGHT~

Last Saturday, I went to my former workplace with my ex-colleague. All the staff are not in the office except the document controller and contract staff. The others went up to the building for a site walk. My friend and I were shocked that they already dismantle the passenger hoist. We couldn't use it to go up easily. We need to take the staircase and walked up in the building. Long time didn't walk the staircase. It was tiring. But I think it is good because I didn't exercise for a long time. I met my supervisor and the other staff on level 16. They looked thinner and stress. I think it is because they are rushing to finish the project on time. There were a lot of changes at the site. The place is getting smaller. Interior design installation works started. The place is getting more dusty. For the first time, I saw my supervisor wear his safety mask. It shows that the atmosphere of the site is getting bad. Too dusty. I remembered my friend told me on that day, it is better to scold by your supervisor rather than scold or sue by the client. It is not easy to do the correct things. We need to work smart so that we can survive in the society. I will go back there again to see the progress of the work in October. I didn't manage to eat lunch together with them because I would to go back for my final window shopping before the new semester starts.Next day, I packed my things in the last minute before I went back to my university. I felt so lazy to go back and clean the new room in the hostel. I reached at the hostel around 3pm. The house was really dirty. It took me almost 3 hours, instead oh 1 hour to clean it up. I felt so embarrassed when my new roommate's girlfriend helped us to clean the house. Thanks to her for speeding up the time to do the housekeeping. Furthermore, there was no electricity because the new housemate took the upload card and didn't upload it on the electric meter. It was so hot and exhausted. I didn't go out and have my dinner. Just ate a dumpling to fill my stomach. I was room alone during that night because my roommate will be back on next day only. It was really good to be alone. I can do whatever I want for the whole night. But actually, I was doing my industrial training presentation slides on that night. I should done this a long time ago but due to my laziness. On Monday, I do not need to wake up so early because my first class starts at 1pm. But still, I need woke up early because I had an appointment with a person and to get him to certify some of the paper works. Luckily he came on time and didn't postpone the appointment again. I reached back to my university on time. I met some of my coursemates. Some of them still the same and some of them changed a lot, physically and mentally. I waited for 30 minutes. The lecturer didn't come to the class. My first day of the Final Year was canceled. What a day. I need to wait for 2 hours for the next class. While waiting for the next class, my coursemates and I were dicussing about the final year project. I didn't tell them about the title that I will going to do because I would like to wait for the titles to release first on the website even though I have my choice to do already. I was happy that some of my coursemates managed to propose their own title to the lecturers and started their works already. While I was entering the second class of the day, the classroom was so hot. The air-condition was not functioned at all. Imagine if you wear full formal wear with a tie. After my class, I didn't go back to my hostel to rest. I met my lecturer to discuss about the future of the club and went to a shop to collect the plagues for the AGM. Luckily my former housemate accompanied me during that time. I didn't felt bored at that time. I had a last meeting with the committee members during the night time. I gave them a silence post mortem. The reason why I want to do it because I would like to get the feed back from them and let the new committee know it in the future. They need to write on a piece of paper and need to submit it to me. I took the papers back and read. I really glad that they wrote it honestly and I almost cry. I couldn't sleep well. Maybe I still cannot sleep well on the new bed. I woke early on Tuesday morning because there is a laboratory class need to attend. I don't know is lucky or not. My coursemate and I went to the food court for the first time after we come back to our university for breakfast. I saw a lot of new faces. I still can remember back when I was a junior student, I saw my senior who were studying for their final year studies gathered and eat together at the food court. They looked happy. That was 2 years ago and now, it's my turn. The time is flying quite fast. Another class was canceled in the afternoon. It was so tired to wait for the class but in the end, it canceled. I need to wait for another 2 hours for the next class.The last class of the day was so boring. It was about the introduction of an institution and a body. I almost fell asleep. After the class, I went back to my hostel to rest. It was already 3 days I couldn't use my internet connection. I need to use my roommate's connection. I already complained twice, Monday and Tuesday. It's really hard for me when I need to disturb my roommate. On Wednesday, I had the opportunity to watched a movie with my coursemates together. After the movie session and dinner, I was rushing back to my university to attend a meeting with the Student Representative Council. Luckily I was not late. There was a debate held during the meeting. But I think it was alright because sometimes the club's representatives gave some idea but it is not necessary the council will accept it. Meanwhile, the things that I planned does not obstruct by other things. I hope I can step down peacefully. Yesterday, I went to the computer laboratory to change my timetable. I adhered my coursemate's advice to change the lecturer due to some reasons. Meanwhile, when I attend the first class of the day, my lecturer was tellign about how easy the subject is. I will not fall on his trap anymore. I need to work hard to achieve a good grade for his subject. After the class, I received a good news form a lecturer. He told me that another lecturer is willing to hold the post. I really happy that my burden is lighter. During at night, I had a dinner with the camp committee members. Although it started late but I was happy. I laughed until my tears dropped. Thanks to the juniors who joked really well. When I reached back to the hostel, my internet connection was repaired. At last, I can online again with my own connection. Today, I was summoned to attend a briefing for the EAC. Actually I don't want to go because I don't have any class in the morning. But I have no choice. I need to attend the interview on next week. How lucky I am to be selected for it. During the afternoon, I had my industrial training presentation with my coursemates. During the first hour, each students need to present in 10 minutes only but most of them presented for more than 15 minutes per person. In the end, it caused me to waited almost 2 hours for my turn to present. It's lucky to be one of the last students to present because I just need to present for 5 minutes. I don't know it is fair or not but the lecturers & I have no choice. After the presentation, I need to rushed to another place to attend my final year project for a briefing. I was being informed by the coordinator that the final year project titles will be only released on next week Wednesday and the selection of the titles will be on next Friday. I think it's quite rush for the students including myself. I just hope that I can get what I want. Tomorrow, I will participate the internal competition with my other coursemate. I hope my team can get a place to enter the final because this will be the last competiton that I will join before I stop to be active in co-curriculum~

中秋节快了 2011~

I would like to wish my blog's readers a 中秋节快乐! This year, I don't have the opportunity to play the lanterns and candles. I miss those days when I played the lanterns and candles with my sister and cousins at my maternal grandparents' house. I still remember when I used the candles to play 'Masak Masak' until my fingers get burned by the candles~ Haha~ As far as I know, Mid Autumn Festival is one of the four big festivals that need to celebrate by Chinese which the other three are Chinese New Year (新年), Dragon Boat Festival (端午節) and Winter Solstice Festival (冬至). I believe that these festivals are really important to celebrate because it can unite all of the family members together. So far, this year I ate the moon cakes the most. I think I ate more than 4 cakes. This year the moon cake price increased a lot. From RM10 last year to RM 15 approximately. I predict the price will keep increasing. There was a case, when I was first year in my university, during the Mid Autumn Festival, I didn't go out and buy food for my dinner. Instead, I had a whole moon cake for my dinner in my hostel room alone. It was too sweet to eat but it can make you full for the whole night. Meanwhile, I haven't check my weight for the past 2 months already and I predict that me weight is increasing. I think the readers will laugh and happy about it since I look like a wooden stick. I still have 6 days left for my holiday. I need to prepare my stuff to go back to my university. I'm still on lazy mode. Rest well before start the new war.

A very famous song from Teresa Teng, The Moon represent my Heart~

P/S: Some of my unimates posted a university link that the students who stay in the hostel need to pay an extra fee for the internet connection.. Haha~

8th September 2011

I went back to my university yesterday to help one of my lecturers to do something. I think I was quite 'lucky' to being asked to help my lecturer during my holiday. But I felt is alright for me because I need to submit my industrial training report & the log book to my visiting lecturer either. The campus looks so peaceful and quiet. I can't see any students in the colleges, except few students in the library. I prefer to have this kind of environment to study. I was in the library to refer some of my seniors final year project report. To my surprise, I couldn't find any of my seniors's reports from 2008 until 2010. The library hasn't receive the reports from the college. How slow they are~ My lecturer was right. My lecturer even asked me to refer to other university students' report. Meanwhile, I feel grateful that I managed to get to stay in the campus for my new coming semester. It is hard to get to stay in the campus due to insufficient of rooms for the students to stay. I'm wondering why the university do not want to construct more apartments to cater the students to stay. I heard a lot of reasons about this matter and I pity those who need to stay outside. They need to travel from Serdang, Bangi & Kajang to the campus and study by car everyday. How about those who don't have any car? Meanwhile, I received a news from my unimates and the news shocked me. Students who took a subject called Economics need to retake the final exam paper due to breach of examination on last semester. There were 10 students complained about the breach conduct. If this case happen to me, I think I will cry out loud & curse the related people to the maximum. The readers will think that I'm an immature man. It's not a matter of mature or immature. It's the matter of time that we used to take the exam. Now the students are on holiday. Maybe some of them couldn't receive any email about the matter. I really pity those who need to retake it back. Good luck to them and I hope that I will not face this problem for my final two semesters. One week plus left before my holiday ends. Initially, I thought I want to go back to the country that I visited before recently but due to the price of the transportation and no room available for the inn, I have to canceled the plan. So, I have no choice. I need to start to read some of the books or notes for my final week of holiday and prepare my industrial training presentation. =.= Tomorrow I need to meet a senior figure from the same field that I study now. I hope I will not doing any careless or silly mistake in front of him~

P/S: I realized that when I didn't post my latest blog on Facebook or Twitter, not many people will read it~ Fro example, my previous post~ Haha~

The real test Begins!

31st August 2011~

Happy Independence Day!

I still remember the history of my country. Luckily I haven't forget it. Thanks to my former secondary school teachers who taught me well in History subject. But the most important thing is I'm still on holiday. Hahaha~ I'm so enjoying with the holidays until I become much more lazier. It means that I'm getting fatter. Oh yeah~ But I hope I won't be label as a fat guy. Hahaha~ Recently, I chatted with one of my friends, A. I discussed with him about my affairs, including some private matters. I think I shouldn't talk about myself too much to my friends because I do not want a lot of people know too much about my private matters. But thanks to A. He/She gave some good advice and share his/her experiences with me. I realized that sometimes we need to share our problems with somebody, maybe with your family, partners or friends. At least, release it from your mind and soul. I'm not a person who trust people easily. Sometimes it is hard for me to find a person to discuss and hope he/she will keep it secret. I prefer to solve my problems by myself. Independent? Selfish? Stubborn? Let the reader(s) to decide which value suits me the best. Meanwhile, I received some comments from the readers about my blog. Some of them asked why I like to write most of my posts in one paragraph and it is a long paragraph. Haha~ Sorry~ I know it is hard for the readers to read so many words in one paragraph. Actually, I want to see how the readers' patience to read my blog. How cruel I am~ Haha~ About my industrial training report, some of my unimates even my family asked about whether I finish my report or not. I haven't finish it and I faced a problem. I mentioned during my last post about the information that I lost last time and I still solve it. Due to my laziness, I keep delay this problem. How lazy I am. But don't worry, I always have back up plan and I target to finish it a week before the new semester starts. During the holiday, I become more passive also. Lazy to go out. Lazy to ask friends for a meet. Lazy to date girls. Stay at home, online everyday. I think my laptop is my wife already and we should held a wedding ceremony soon. Hahaha~ I think I write a lot of craps on this post. Nothing to do during the holiday besides the report. My next post will be about my wish list for my big day. I feel sad that I cannot fulfill some my wishes on last year. I hope I can make it this year. Anyway, I would like to wish again Happy Independence Day to my country, I will remember how the heroes and warriors claimed our country back from the colonies and also Selamat Hari Raya to my Muslim readers~ Enjoy the holiday~

One of the great piece of songs that I like to listen~~

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

20th August 2011

First of all, I would like to say a Goodbye to some of my unimates who will leave the country and continue their studies in oversea. I hope they will survive and manage to get the education they need from oversea. I hope it is not too late to wish them. I think they are very independent. They need to stay in a foreign country for 3 years by themselves although some of them will study together. It is hard for them especially when they miss their family members, their living partners or friends who stay in Malaysia. After the internship trip, I didn't go out so much except accompanied my mum to go some places and met my unimates to have a farewell lunch for 1 of my unimates who will study in oversea. Stayed at home. Continue to do my report slowly and always watch television and online from morning until midnight. One day, I was surprised that some of the information that been save in my thumb drive were deleted by the anti virus. I don't know what to say about this, I need to use some of this information to write on my report. I'm so 'lucky' for it. And now, I just done some of the parts of the report. I still have 1 month left to finish it. Actually I can use a week time to finish it but I don't want. I want to do it slowly while enjoy the holiday. I have some places to go during the holiday in the country. But I feel lazy to plan and ask my friends to join. See how it goes. Currently, my junior unimates are having their final exam. I saw their frustration through the Facebook and I managed to teased them. Sorry. Hahaha~ I miss the exam time so much. I mean I miss my student's life so much. I can't wait to go back to my university and continue my study back although I know that there will be a lot of challenges are waiting for me. I have decided not to propose my own final year project title. I think I don't have the ability and get enough of information to propose my own title. Meanwhile, I looked back my old photos back. I miss Taekwondo much but I didn't train it for a year already. My legs cannot kick like the wind anymore. I think I need to practice back but which training place I need to go and train? Or I train with a partner? How should I find a partner to train? Or I train by myself? Who need to check my progression then? I think these are some excuses that I don't want to train back. Hahaha~ Life goes on. Yesterday, I wanted to tease one of my unimates by asking him to go after a girl. But in the end, he himself asked me to go after his friends, choose the girls and he even want to introduce them to me. My mission failed. I felt it was so funny when a friend introduce girls to me. For the readers' information, sometimes I do jealous to those who are in relationship but it is awful when I see those couples who do something or some actions. I think it should be normal for a bachelor to jealous and some readers may think why I don't want to find a partner for myself. There are few reasons. I think some of my friends will know it but I think not fully know it. I will only write this on next time. There are some good orchestra performances that I want to watch but the price is increased. I don't mind with the price because I believe that it is worth to watch it. Furthermore, I need to find somebody to watch the performance together. Alamak, need to find partner. Where should I find a friend to watch with me? Maybe I should forget about it and watch it on Youtube. I think it's enough for me to write until here. Will write few posts before the holiday ends. Enjoy~

5 months of planning, 4 days of the trip. Purposely planned a trip right after the internship is to enjoy my final holiday and before my final year study starts. This trip is a combination of academic and leisure trip. I was surprised that the first day of the trip was the beginning of Ramadhan. It was my first time I used ERL as my choice to LCCT. It was the fastest train in Malaysia. It was quite early when my friends and I reached LCCT. Wandering around in the airport for 4 hours. LCCT is totally different than KLIA. I hope the KLIA 2 will finish on time. The flight is not delayed. Quite lucky. Landed on a developed country on time. When my friends and I reached the Immigration Checkpoint, we need to fill up the immigration forms before pass through the counter. My friends were enjoying to capture some pictures by using camera while fill up the forms. Suddenly, there was a lady officer came to us and warned us not use camera in the area. It was our first time to be scolded by the country people. After we passed through the immigration, we met one of my friends' relative. She is my friend's cousin and she is a very nice person. She even treated us a dinner. I felt 'Pai Seh' for it. Really need to thank to her for the great dinner. I was noticed that we were late to check in to our hostel. By right we should check in by 9pm but we only managed to reached to the hostel at 11.30pm. It was our second time to be scolded by the country people. The place that we stayed is quite good. Although got some rules and regulations need to follow. There was a guy stayed in our room together because we only got 5 people while the room got 6 beds.I think all of my friends don't have the mood on the first night. It was uncomfortable for us because we need to tolerate with that guy to stay in the room for 3 nights. After we put our belongings in the room, we went to the town area for a walk. We managed to walked to Little India on our first night. It's not far from our hostel but all of us felt so tired. I was surprised with the food price in the country. Some were cheap and some were too expensive if convert the currencies. For your information, it is not worth to eat fast food in this country if you want to compare the price your country and this country. The streets were quiet. Not many people. Only those who ate their suppers at the stalls. There was an emporium opens 24 hours per day. A lot of Southern Asian people like to shop at here. Reached back to hostel around 1am. Cannot sleep well. Miss my bed so much. Woke up early on the second day. I do not want to compete with other people to use the bathroom. The hostel is quite good. They provide the breakfast to the guests. I can save my money for buying a breakfast. My friends are quite punctual today. They woke up and prepared themselves on time. During our breakfast, we chatted with an old couple from New Zealand. We were shocked that the man is a professor specialized in soil science. He and his wife shared the massive earthquake that happened in Christchurch recently. They even asked us to apply a job in New Zealand because their country really needs a lot of civil engineers to rehabilitate the Christchurch city. After our breakfast, we went to the nearest MRT station to go a construction site. I was amazed with the security of the station. The station has a multiple CCTV to observe and monitor the area. No wonder the crimes in this country is very low. Meanwhile, the escalator was in high speed. It was totally different in Malaysia, which is slow & steady. I think they were following Hong Kong and Japan, want to live in fast pace.

Multiple CCTV, Great Security

There were a lot of people use the MRT as their medium of transportation. I just know that the citizens of this country who wants to drive need to get a certificate which is much more expensive than to buy a car. I heard from my friend said that the certificate price is around RM 100,000++. I understand the government want to impose this rule because they want to minimize the number of car usage in the country. Smart and drastic move. The MRT system is very effective. The interval of each trains is 3.5 minute. Really fast. I realized that each stations located at the hot spot area. Very well planned. All of the advertisement boards, even in the train, the announcements read out in 4 languages: English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. So good. We stopped by at a shopping complex for a walk and lunch before we continue our journey to the construction site. I couldn't find a cheap food court out of the shopping complex. No choice. Need to eat in the shopping mall. The food price is no t cheap. 1 bowl of noodle soup with a coffee cost RM12.00++. But for the citizens, I think it should be cheap for them. The time is running, need to rushed to the construction site. The site is located at the northern of the country while we stayed at the southern of the country. We managed to reach the another station on time but need to wait another friends who departed from southernmost of my country. They were late. I was so frustrated because I scared we will be late for the appointment with the person in charge. When they arrived, we were rushing to the place by walking a distance of 1.5km. I felt so bad because they need to walk under the hot Sun but I have no choice. We do not have the time and money to get a cab to go there. We were late. when we reached the office. I felt so embarrassed with it. I think it gave a bad impression to the person in charge. The show must go on. We were greeted by the person in charge and his team members. They were friendly. First of the session was the slide presentation. Their presentation was really informative. Luckily my friends managed to asked few questions about the project C913. After the presentation, they brought us to the construction site. It was my first time to visit a tunneling construction site. It was totally different environment when I worked at my previous work place. This construction site looked cleaner and systematic. We need to walked down more than 30m to reach the tunnel boring machine. It was a huge machine. I think it is hard to handle the machine. The temperature below the ground was really hot. My whole body was sweating. The person in charge briefed well to us. I really satisfied with his explanation about the project. The site visit took around 3 hours. I saw my friends were exhausted. I really happy that the site visit that I planned goes well. It was really hard to organize a trip. I'm not sure I have the chance to visit tunneling project again, or maybe work at there.

After the visit, my friend suggested to take bus back to the city area. So, we went for it. We don't have any chance to ask the bus driver where does the bus goes because each drivers drove so fast. We just simply took one of the bus. It took around 30-40 minutes to reached a nearest MRT station. Everyone really looked tired. We haven't decide where we should we go for our dinner. We walked for 30 minutes. In the end, we decided to eat at a shopping mall food court again. I think we used most of the money on the food and we haven't buy anything for our souvenir. After our dinner, I planned to bring them to 'Durian' and the walkway of the river~ The scenery was really nice. I was amazed with the skyline scenery. The scenery is encouraging me to come back to this country for a visit. Their night life is so lively. Even though that day was a Tuesday night but still got so many people especially those who work in the office went there for a drinking session. All of the restaurants and cafes were full house. I heard from my friend said that the women population is more that men in this country and the women are so desperate to get a men. So, they will dress beautifully. But to my surprise, not only the women dress beautifully, but same goes to the guys. I noticed this country men are healthy. What I meant is they are body builded. They looked fit & strong. My friend also told me that the guys also need to compete each other and image is one of the factor to win the battle or competition. I think I need to start back my routine to keep my body fit again. I just realized that we walked more than 7km on the second day. I think it was a good & healthy trip. I don't have the chance to feel the environment at the Quay due to my tiredness. I can felt my legs are not mine. I almost want to sleep on the street. Lazy to go back to the hostel.

Clarke Quay~

Reached back to hostel around midnight. Too exhausted. Cannot sleep right after my bath. Need to wait for my hair dry first. Luckily the hostel has an Internet connection. I took this time to check my emails. It's really funny when you are on holidaying, you still need to check your emails. I saw my friends were so happy because there is a WiFi connection in the hostel too. they can use their iPhone to surf the internet. I was surprised that the WiFi connection in this country is not free including the fast food outlets or cafes. Woke up early again on third day. Booked a van to go to a theme park. But before go to the theme park, we went to the Flyer for a while because the driver need to pick up the other tourists. Had walk that the Flyer for 40 minutes. I saw a lot of Chinese, Filipino, Indon tourists visited that place. It's more than my country. Reached at the them park at 10am. My friends took some picture of the globe. I saw a lot of tourists also especially the kids and teenagers. I felt myself young back. we have to wait for 2 friends before enter the theme park. Waited for 1.5 hours. Everyone is worry & frustrated.At last.. They reached to the theme park. I felt unhappy with it because we wasted for waiting for them and felt tired. Almost I do not have the mood to play the theme park games. The theme park was superb. It's better than my own country theme parks. It is worth to buy an expensive ticket and visit this theme park. The first game that I played was the Battlestar Galactica: Human & Cylon. At first, I do not want to play it because I was scared. But in the end, my friends managed to pull me in. It was scary. My heartbeat was increasing. When I sat for the Cylon test, the seat can move. My leg cannot feel the ground. It was a hanging seat. @.@ After the ride, I felt I had a gastric. But still, I went for the second test which is Human Test. But this time, it was easier than Cylon test. Phew. After the both rides, I felt so uneasy with my body condition especially the stomach part. No choice, I need to go to a food stall and eat something. After my lunch, I felt much better. My friends follow the immigration officer's suggestion, to play the Mummy Ride. I didn't follow them to play because I want to get fully recover first, After they played, they told it was fun and grabbed me in and play for the second time. Luckily I played this game. It was adventurous. After the Mummy ride, we thought want to go Jurassic Park to play few games, but we saw a lot of people line up and need to wait for 45 minutes to play. So we went to Far Far Away Land to watch a 4-D show. Nice show with some effects especially the Saliva~~~ Haha~ Went to final theme land, Madagascar. I didn't play anything because almost all of the games are for children to play. Some of my friends look tired. Some of them still want to play the games again. I followed the older friends, to stay at Hollywood area for a rest. Took some pictures. Looked at the people especially the young girls. How pervert I am. After an hour rest, I asked my friends to join with me to go for another game which use a lesser energy, just need to watch it only. But in the end. I get wet. I do not have any spare shirt to change. It was so freezing with the wet shirt. Before we end our day in the theme park, we went to a hall and watched a musical show called the 'Monster Rock'. The performance was average but still entertain. There were some of the staff from the park acted like the movie stars and cartoons, take pictures with the visitors. I couldn't find Marilyn Monroe to take picture with her. Too bad. But still, I managed to took some pictures with others. I just bought few key chains as my souvenirs. I didn't buy any t-shirts because I think it is not worth to buy based on the quality and the price.

I wish I have a Fairy Godmother, grant any wishes that I want~

The day was getting darker. Need rushed to a shopping mall nearby. I heard from my friend said that the mall is the current biggest mall in the country. The interior design and the concept of the mall is really good. Almost all of the branded shops available in this mall. During the dinner time, I tried to find cheapest food in the food court. I found a fried rice which is cost RM8.00++. After dinner, walked around the mall. I thought I want to buy a polo shirt as for my souvenir but it's too expensive. It's better for me to buy it in my own country. I felt my legs are not mine anymore. I couldn't walk properly. Need to find a chair or a bench to sit. Same goes to my other friends. Waited for another friend who met his relatives for a while. When my friend arrived, everyone agreed to go back. Don't want to go other place already. Saying goodbye to other friends who will not going to meet on the final day of the trip. Got supper with other friends nearby to the hostel. The food is really cheap but the taste, I think it's better to eat in KL. Oh my legs~~~ I should eat bananas for the trip so that I can recover my legs easily. When we reached back to hostel and pack our things, I saw there was a new housemate staying with us. Too bad we need to tolerate and sleep with him for the final night. Suddenly, when I surf the internet, I heard a shout from the upstairs. Then, my friend came down and told me that they saw a women only wear her lingerie and clean up her bag on the walkway. The most funniest thing was that women throw all of her lingerie out from her back. It was so open. Haha~ Got free show~ How lucky my friends was. Slept early but not so early also. For the final day of the trip, rain showered the area for the whole morning. Actually for the whole day. It was hard to go out early in the morning. Need to wait until the rain stops. Waited until 10.30am. The rain still haven't stop. No choice, need to go out. Regretted not to bring my own umbrella. First journey is to eat brunch at a street. But the plan is changed because due to the rain. No choice, need to eat in the mall's food court again. After our lunch, went to one of the tallest building in the country with the mixture of hotel, casino, convention centre, museum and shopping mall. The rain is really dampen our mood. A lot places that we want to go were canceled. Haiz. Furthermore, I don't have the chance to enter the casino for the first time in my life. The place is really unique with a good concept. They really planned well. I'm wondering when, my country can develop like this country...

How lovely the couple is under the rain with a good scenery~

Well planned City~

After visit the building, we went to the shopping road at the centre of the city by a cab. We were lazy to walk and take MRT to that place. Nothing much special at this road although got so many malls at here. Almost every malls got the same branded shops. For my suggestion, just go to the mall which is nearest to the MRT is enough. To those who likes to shop, bring more money. To those who don't like to shop, no need to come to this place. It's better for you to visit other place. Need to wait a friend to buy his souvenirs. I think he is really good. He purposely bought a bunch of shirts for his friends. Fortunately he is still single. Girls, if you want to have this guy as your partner, please contact me. I will introduce to him. I didn't think to buy anything for my friends except the key chains that I bought yesterday for my family. I'm quite stingy at this part. My motive for this trip to explore the country and the site visit. I didn't plan to buy so many things to bring back home. Furthermore, my luggage can stand less than 7kg. After the shopping time, we went to a street that we planned in the morning. It still raining. No choice, we still need to visit that place as recommended by other people. That place looks like KL Petaling Street but it's smaller. A lot of cheap food and souvenirs sell on the street. I should come to this place at first, not for last. After our tea time & shop, we went back to our hostel. The staff at hostel wished us best of luck of our studies. I was shocked with it. Haha~ For the past 3 days, they looked strict for me. And what response I got from them, they said I looked the most serious among my friends. I was like... Am I? Hahaha~ I don't care. Reached at the airport on time. So many people check in. Need to wait for an hour to check in. When I entered the immigration point, the officer asked about my immigration card. I was wondering what card it is. Luckily I noticed there was a card that I received during my first day of arrival. Luckily I didn't throw it away. If not, I do not need to go back to my own country and will be send to the jail. Had my final dinner in the country before go back. We almost late for our flight because we thought we should be at the gate at 9pm instead the real time was 8.40pm. Haha~ Quite rushed. During in the flight, I heard there was a guy snoring. I think he is a type of man that can sleep in every conditions. The flight was earlier then scheduled time to reach LCCT. I took a cab back to my house with a friend. The taxi driver was really pissed me off. He told us that it was a bad business to fetch us back home and it is not worth it. I was like, if you don't like, you shouldn't take us as your customer. Furthermore, he said that my hometown is a death city. I'm fine with it but he was repeating his same words from the LCCT back to my house. Nagging Nagging Nagging~ I was tired with the journey. I do not need to listen with your craps. I just try to be patience with him. When we almost reached my house, the driver asked me where is the nearest place to go out from my house. I didn't tell the shortest way to go out. I just told him just use the same way to go out. the road that he will used is the longest road to go out. I felt so angry with him because he didn't give a good service to a customer. To the readers, please do not take this cab: HWD185. His surname is 'Cheong'.

During the trip, I felt stress when I faced some of the situation but I enjoyed with the scenery of the country. I was impressed with the system that be implemented by the government of the country although I saw there were few couple openly love each other in the public area. Free show~ It is really good. Haha~ Probably I will come back and visit this country in the future. The next trip with my friends will be the graduation trip. I'm not sure it will be success or not. I do not want to become the planner again. See how it goes~
