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

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.
