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~
