I would like to wish my blog's readers a 元宵节快乐!

Today is a Chinese Valentine's Day and to those who are in relationship, it's better to go out for dating before it's too late. Based on the culture, those who are single will be going to the river bank to throw oranges for women and bananas for men with the contact numbers, to find a new partner. Some even throw watermelon, papaya and even durian to lure people. Haha~ Actually, I haven't do this before and I'm not sure and I will do it or not. Should I do it tonight? Will my fate comes?

Recently, some of my friends asked about my future plan after my graduation. Actually, I haven't decide which path I should go and the readers will know it soon, after 5 months later. Don't worry.

Left or Right?

First Week of Final Semester 2012~

2012-02-04T19:51:00.004+08:00

I just started my final semester on last Monday with a high expectation. On the first day, I had a class in the morning at 9am. But after half an hour later, the lecturer didn't come to the class and we as the students declared the class is canceled. Woke early in the morning and prepared for the class. I felt disappointed because the lecturer didn't inform the students about the class cancellation and just apologized the students through a Facebook group. It is informal to inform the students through Facebook because not everyone has a Facebook account although I am an active user. In my opinion, they should inform the students about any information related to the subjects by sending the emails, not putting up a notice on Facebook. It is a professional way to send an email to the students because it shows that the information is proved as 'black and white'. Facebook is a social network and not a place to announce a really important notice. I urge the lecturers to come back to the original place where they used to be and send their notification through email. Back to my study life. I attended two elective classes before I finalize my choice. Most of my coursemates were complained about less elective subjects offered by the university and I agree with them. But we have no choice. Life still need to go on. For the last class of the week, I was quite nervous because the lecturer will assign the students in to few groups and not the students to decide for their own groups. Because due to add and drop session is not over yet, the lecturers cannot decide for the groups yet. I just hope that I can get a good group members so that our work of progress will be smooth in the future. There were not a lot of students in the campus on last few days ago. It was easy to find a place to park the car. Currently a lot of students are having holiday or industrial training this semester. So quiet in the campus~ When I went to laboratory, I saw a Master student was doing his testing. The way he used the equipment gave me a horror feeling. He is going to destroy the things! I need to finish my testing as soon as possible so that I can use the equipment well before it destroy by him. Four months left for me to study. Time flies fast~ I still planning on my future path and haven't decide it yet~

Second Week of January 2012

2012-01-14T10:56:00.004+08:00

After the final exam, most of the students will be going back to their hometown and prepare for the new year celebration. But some of my coursemates including myself need to stay back to do our group project and the final year project. For the group project, it was a last minute work to do. If the readers know my attitude based on the previous post, you will know how I felt. Luckily, we managed to finish it. As for my final year project, I faced a problem. I do not have the materials that I wanted and I need to wait for the new materials to come before I proceed my work. But I still pray that I can finish my project on time. I saw some of my coursemates just started their project in the laboratory, they looked frustrated and they reminds me when I started my project on last semester by myself. It is hard to handle a project alone, especially when handle the laboratory testing. Usually in the laboratory classes, we do it in a group and now, we do it by our own. Tough is tough but it is a good training, 1 person handles all the testing at one time. Last Tuesday, I managed to do 20 rounds with 600 tests for my project. It sounds 'Cool'~ But I still meed to continue. Due to insufficient of materials, I have to postponed my work and I need to discuss the matter with my supervisor. I hope I can resume back my work on next week. Meanwhile, my coursemates suggested to have a holiday in Malacca on next Monday to release stress due to last semester pressures but I declined to join them. I felt myself a little bit passive this time. Maybe I was too tired with the works and I would like to rest alone. Sometimes meet with old and best buddy is really good. At least you can share your excitements and problems with them and they will not betray you. And also, thanks for the movie Buddy! ;) Recently, I saw a lot of my friends started to get in to relationship or targeting for someone. Is it this year is a good year to start a new relationship? Should I follow the tune? I hope they can maintain their relationship, marry as soon as possible and get a dozen of children. Hahaha~ New Year is coming soon and I think I won't buy much of new cloths this year. Save money for a something?? About my future, I was still considering which field that I should go. Time is running out and I need to decide soon. Headache~

I would like to take this opportunity to wish Happy Ponggal to my blog readers who will be celebrating the festival tomorrow. Have a pleasant weekend~

Gorgeous performance from Adele!

Semester 2 2011/2012 Final Exam Post Mortem

2012-01-08T09:40:00.007+08:00

I just finished my final exam on the last two days ago. I had 4 papers for this time. Each papers got their own difficulties and I saw everyone were under pressure and stress. Same goes to me. I felt headache for few times. I was not well prepared for this exam. It was not like last time, when I answered the questions with confidence. I do not have the confidence. I was trying to hide my nervousness in front of my coursemates and I managed to make it. This time, I followed my coursemates and study together in a group. It was helpful when we can discussed the questions. But I felt uncomfortable to study when we studied at a public area such as cafes. I still prefer to study in a bright & silent area such as library, without any distraction from people. Unfortunately, my university's library doesn't looks like a library at all. Some of the students are uncivilized. They like to create a 'Zoo Environment' in the library and I was wondering why the librarians didn't take any actions on them? If back to those time in my secondary school when I was a librarian, I will kick those who likes to interrupt the peace out of the library without any mercy. My first paper was about the role of engineers in a society. It was more like a moral studies but more towards to the ethics. Some of the questions are easy but some were not. It took me 4 days to memorized all of the theories which were basically on laws & codes. After next two days later was Highway & Transportation Engineering. It was a four credit hours subject and four questions need to be answered. I need to score on this subject and I was worrying about it. The next paper was a hardcore subject for me which is Foundation Engineering. A lot of my unimates thought I was taking a Foundation Students' subject but actually its not. Those who wants to specialize in Geotechnical Engineering, this is the subject that you need know well. the lecturer told as the the questions are easy. He is really smart when he creates the questions that I was so confused and couldn't answer it well. He really tests us on the basic and understanding of the subject and I really salute him. The last paper was Reinforced Concrete Design II. For the whole semester, I am not really sure what am I studying on this subject. I didn't know the course outline. I just followed what the lecturer taught. Even one of my coursemates joked: "Although we managed to get an 'A' for the last RCI but this time if we get C, what will the employee will think about it?" I think we done our best and just hope to get well on the exam. It was relieved moment after the final exam. I would like to thank to the lecturers who taught me well. Yesterday, I had a day tour in Golden Triangle KL. I managed to visit my former workplace back. I was shocked that the place has changed a lot and it was a good sign because it shows that the project is going to end soon. And now, my semester break begins but I need to go back to my university and continue with my project while the others are enjoying their holiday. What a life~ I have to plan my future already by searching companies to apply a job. I am still considering which field I should go. 5 months left before I end my degree studies. One of my ex-colleague told me that the best time to enjoy is during the study time. Time flies fast~

Although I couldn't watch the concert in KLCC on last night but still I managed to watch it at here~

New Year with a New Chapter~

Summary of 2011~

2011-12-31T16:51:00.005+08:00

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?

2011-12-26T12:21:00.003+08:00

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~

Christmas Eve 2011

2011-12-24T11:41:00.004+08:00

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~

2011-12-10T00:15:00.004+08:00

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~

2011-11-25T17:56:00.004+08:00

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.

11th November 2011

2011-11-12T11:13:00.004+08:00

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!

2011-11-07T18:41:00.005+08:00

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~

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~

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~

14th & 15th October 2011~

2011-10-16T12:25:00.002+08:00

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.

First Week of October 2011~

2011-10-08T16:17:00.000+08:00

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

2011-10-07T08:20:00.004+08:00

(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

2011-09-30T18:11:00.002+08:00

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~

2011-09-12T20:11:00.006+08:00

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~

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~

New external hard disk drive (It's amazing that my hard disk still can use. I think I need to buy it soon).

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.

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~

Really impressed with this. A Great piece of song for the day~

Internship Trip 2011

WARNING1: Long Post! It Might Offends Some Readers With Some Unpleasant Words. Please do not READ~

WARNING2: 3722 words! To those who has the Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, Please do not READ!

WARNING3: A lot of grammar & vocabulary mistakes. To those who is good in English, Please do not READ!

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.

The Tunnel Boring Machine from Kawasaki

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~

It has been 18 days I didn't write a post at here. Green Camp 2011 just ended on last weekend. I can see the true colours from this camp. A lot of happy and sad moments happened during the planning days until the camp day. From frustration to satisfaction. Although can't reach the objectives of the camp, but I still very happy that the camp goes well. I do not want to write so long about the journey of the camp. It was my last event before I retired from the co-curriculum in my university life. Relieved & Relax. I really appreciate to those who helped and organized the camp by sacrificing their energy and their precious time. I hope this camp will give some information for the committee members on how to face the real working life in the future. now, I can fully concentrate on my industrial training report, plan my time table on next semester, to find information on my final year project, to finalize my internship trip, plan my graduation trip and find a partner. Any pretty girls want to introduce to me? Hahaha~ I'm just joking with the partner issue. No time & courage for it although my family members ask me to go for it if I found any pretty girls. For my industrial training report, I just managed to finish 10% only. I wasted my first month. After my internship trip, I need to increase my speed to finish it. Yesterday was my second last time table pre-registration in my university life. There was a confusion on the online registration. I don't know how to update my study plan for my last semester. Meanwhile, I'm not sure I can register for the elective subject that I wanted. I hope I can get it. For my final year project, I have decided to get a title from a lecturer. I think I do not have the capability to propose my own title. I will not reveal which field that I want to proceed first. Readers will guess maybe I will go for structure, geotechnical or even environment. See how it goes. About my internship trip, I will be going to somewhere tomorrow. Somewhere that I went 10 years ago. I hope the trip will be fun with 5 men & 2 women. I would like to suggest a graduation trip with my classmates. I'm not sure how but I hope we will have a trip before we start our working life. After the camp, I went back home. My family decided to subscribe new package from Astro. My old habit is back. I addicted to drama series back. I watched 2 drama series for the past 4 days. From morning until at midnight. Luckily I'm on holiday. If I'm still studying during my secondary school time back and watch television in this way, I think I'm doom. I haven't pack my things for tomorrow trip. Last minute preparation again.

This song makes me wild~ Still haunting in my mind~

First of all, I would like to wish Happy Birthday to my Good Friend! I hope he stay healthy and strong all the while and I'm still waiting for his wedding invitation card. Hahaha~

Actually, I felt so stress today. I thought I can use my last holiday in my university time to do my industrial training report, find information for my final year project or even go for few trips to other places. I just started my report. Still have a long way to go. I haven't make up my mind yet about my final year project. Which field I should go. I'm not an elite student. I have insufficient of information to propose a title. I think I will going to select the titles instead. Another matter is the elective subjects that I want to choose for my final year studies. When I compare my university and other universities, my university didn't provide the elective subjects that I want. Only limited subjects. Meanwhile, I'm helping my juniors to organize a camp. There were a not of problems. When a problem solved, another problem occurs. Luckily, I had a training from my previous work place. Everyday need to face the infinity problems. I learn that patience is the main way to solve the problems. Second is your creative thinking. I still pray to God and hope that the program will runs well.

I really want to enjoy my holiday~ How?

I was home alone. I started my industrial training report by writing the first chapter. I was quite stress when I'm using the Microsoft Word. I don't know how to adjust the page numbering that I want. But in the end, I managed to do it by browsing all of the icons on the software. The weather was not in good condition. The haze is back. Not a good day for an outdoor activity. I went back to my university to settle my application for hostel and met an officer from the student affair centre. Luckily, all the things were settled according to my plan. I had 3 hours need to wait before the meeting starts. I went to my university to check and reply the emails and other stuff. The connection is still the same. Haha~ I had a good time to chat with my ex-boss. It's regarding from studies to club to personal matters. I was glad that he gives his opinion to me. I know what should I do next. During the meeting, I felt disappointed with the committee members' punctuality. For readers' information, actually a person attitude can be determine by his/her punctuality of time. Maybe readers may think I'm a typical Chinese or Japanese Man who concern about time. Yes~ I am~

I was thinking back am I on the right track to lead people to achieve something? But I think no need to think too much already. As long as I get the product that I want. I will be satisfied with myself. Sometimes I feel sad when my plan is fail but I have no choice. The show must go on.

This morning, I went to my previous workplace to get something. On my way to go there by car, the road is busy as usual. A lot of cars. I didn't see any road blocks yet. But still, I stopped at Taman Jaya to take LRT to avoid the traffic jam in the city centre. When I reached KLCC, I can see that there a lot of people are till enjoying with their shopping, mainly the tourists. My previous workplace is still the same. But less people work in the office. I heard from my ex-colleague said that another staff attacked by the Aedes virus and received the Dengue Fever. I hope he will recover soon. I think almost everyone in the office are worry about the condition of the site. Not only there got a lot of mosquitoes but my own house is included. These few days, a lot of mosquitoes like to bite me especially my white chick legs. I'm not a good mosquito killer. They are really lucky to have me as their meal. =.=

My supervisor & seniors are still treating me well. I'm quite bad by telling them that I'm enjoying my holiday. I know that they really want to have a holiday but they need to work to finish the project. They even asked me about whether I manage to get the information that I want for my industrial training report. They told me that if I still need any extra information, I can come back to the site and find them for help. They are really good and still welcome me back to visit the site. I waited them for lunch time. It was funny to listened to them about tomorrow's rally. I think all of the main roads in KL will be block by the police and it's quite hard for those who will working to drive their cars in to the city centre tomorrow. I think, they should take on leave tomorrow so that they won't face any chaotic moment in the city centre. After the lunch, I went to a shop to buy an engrave wooden souvenir gift for my Singapore trip. I thought it will be cheap but I was wrong. Haha~ But I think is alright because the quality of the gift is good enough to impress the receiver. I received a call from the camera shop and the seller told me that my camera is repaired already. Luckily, I don't need to fork out any money for the repair works because it was under the warranty. I can use my camera back soon~ ;)

While on my way back to home, I can't resist to buy a mille crepe at somewhere in PJ. I have the random idea on how to find the cafe. After searching for a while, I managed to find it. For those who are not familiar with PJ area, it is quite hard to find this cafe. Thanks to my ex-colleague, I managed to find it. If compare between this mille crepe and Malacca's mille crepe, I still prefer the Malacca's one. But still, I like to eat it because it's sweet enough to make my day happy. I really like to eat cakes especially the cheesecake. I wish I can eat it for my tea time everyday. Then I will become a Big Fat Tall Guy~ Haha~

Since all the roads in KL will be block soon, I think it's better for everyone to stay at home or at least if you want to go for window shopping, you may go to Klang. Hahaha~

This is the shop~

The vanilla mille crepe~ Yummy~ :D

P/S: I think I will not going to write daily at here for now. Maybe will continue the routine back in the future~ lol

Actually I have nothing to write since my industrial training ended on last week. But still, I want to write so that I can improve my writing skills (I think it still bad.. Haha~). I received few sms from my unimates about the updates of the camp & club. I'm happy because they are responsible for their task although my handphone keep beeping with the message tone. I really hope that the camp goes well. My mind was haunted by this song:

I think I listen to this song more than 10 times today. I almost cry for this song. It's our fight. It's our fight to survive in the society. Only the strongest will survive. Agree or disagree?

Meanwhile, I received a replied email from a company. It's about the visit that I planned for August. Sometimes I don't like to reply formal emails. It's quite stressful because I can't write freely. I need to be cautious on what I write. I think I'm not in a good position. I scared that I will receive another reply from other company for the visit. There will be two same visit. I'm not good in planning. It is hard for me to plan a program flow for a trip. I'm not familiar with the place. But luckily, thanks to Google Map. I have a random idea to plan the flow. As long as my friends & I know how to speak in English, I think we still can visit the place easily. I noticed that today there were a lot of roadblocks in the city. It caused a massive jam for some roads. I think there will be more roadblocks tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I'm wondering what will happen on this coming Saturday. A peaceful day? Or a chaotic day?

I went back to my university for the whole evening. There were few changes at there. First, the security guards are getting stricter. Even a student has a car sticker on the dashboard, but still the security guard wants to check the student ID card. Actually, it is good to be stricter because I heard some of my unimates said that there were a lot of robbery cases in my university since last few months ago. The best story is the robber managed to steal 4 laptops in a house (1 house = 4 rooms) in one night. I'm not sure the robber has the skill to break in to the house or the students forgot to lock the personal belongings well but it is really superb. I was surprised when I entered the student hostel. The management installed a closed-circuit television near to the main entrance. I'm not sure it is functioning or not. I predict that the students will vandalize it soon. For example, I saw a McDonald advertisement in the college building, after few days later, a 'New' advertisement created by students hang on the wall. Meanwhile, I saw there were a lot of cars at the parking lots and it is full. I'm wondering how it will going be if the industrial training students come back and continue to study. It will be a massive traffic jam? Can't blame them for possessing a car because most of the students are staying out campus due to the limited space to stay in campus. Only the new students and active students are given the chance to stay in campus. I don't know I can get a placement to stay in campus or not but I just try to register or even appeal for it even though there is a electricity charge on each houses. I know that I need house which is near to my class or laboratories because I don't have time to travel here and there during my final year. About my final year project, I'm still thinking what field that I should take. I really need to think carefully before I make my decision because once I decided, there is no way to return back the time. After this week, I need to start my industrial training report. I hope I can write more than the pages required by my university. The main reason I went back to my university is to attend a meeting regards on a camp. I'm very happy that there is a progress although there were few minor problems occurred. But all are still under control. I really hope that it will be a successful event. I'm thinking off what type of mobile phone I should buy. I already think for 2.5 years but still I haven't buy a new phone. Any ideas? =.=

Nice design from the students~ (Photo credit to Eric LCK)

Dear reader(s),

Did you miss my blog?

I didn't write any post for the last 3 days ago. I still wake up early although I didn't work at there anymore. I didn't pass down my job well. I feel dissatisfied for myself. I would like to apologize to him. I just read the testimonial wrote by him before I send it to the headquarters in the morning. I was so lucky to have him as my superior. He really helped me. If I will work back at the same company, he will be the first person that I will thank too. Exactly 3 months after I entered the headquarters building on the last 4th April 2011. But this time, I need to say goodbye to the company. I'm not sure I will work back there or not. Only God knows. ;) After I passed all of the testimonials & uniforms, I had my lunch with my coursemate who also works in the same company. I just realized that one for the stalls which sell the mixed rice is quite good and the price is reasonable. How fortunate to those who works in the headquarters. After my lunch, I went to the medical centre to visit my ex-colleague. When I saw him, I feel pain for him. He had rashes on his skin. It's really suffer for a person who diagnosed dengue fever and stay in the hospital will be very discomfort. I'm very lucky not to have the Aedes virus at my previous work place. I hope he will recovering soon. I managed to watch Transformer just now. It was better than last edition. Got some humours in the movie. There was a change for a trip to Penang. One of my coursemates couldn't go for it. I'm not sure I want to continue to join or not....

Last Day of Industrial Training 2011~

2011-06-30T22:17:00.002+08:00

I have a mixed feelings today. Maybe the readers will think I will feel so happy or sad that end of June 2011 is my last day for my industrial training at a site construction. Happy is because my holiday is coming soon. Sad is because like the project is like my baby, I need to leave it soon. I almost sat in the office for the hole day, except took 1 hour ++ to walk and check the men power of the project. It's not that today is my last day, I want to be more lazy but I need to compile all of my work done in to a file and hand over it back to my supervisor. I also take this opportunity to get all of the soft copies that I want from the office for my training report. I should do this on the last 3 days ago. It's quite last minute for me. I still face a few problems from a sub-contractor even though today is my last day of work. Actually, that is not my problems. I really want to use something to block his mouth from talking to me. I don't want to write something anger words on this post. I was really grateful with my supervisor because he helped me to edit the certificate that I request from the site and also the comments that he wrote on my survey form. I really appreciate it. I know that I done a lot of mistakes but still he forgive me. It's hard for a person to forgive and forget another person's mistakes. He has a very good patience. I was really happy that some of my seniors make a farewell lunch time for me. The staff at my work place treated me so well. I'm speechless. I felt so touch with it. Meanwhile, one of my senior said that I will be very happy & jump around after today because I won't be suffer to work at there anymore. She is 50% right only. After 5pm, we have a group photo and I felt guilty that my supervisor couldn't join us for the photo because he needs to handle a problem with a sub-contractor. But in the end, I managed give a appreciation card to him. I hope he will not get angry or laugh on the card. I was fortunate to have nice seniors & friends to work with for the past 3 months. Thanks to all of them. I'm quite sad. I will miss them and will visit there back once I'm free. . Holiday time but I need to finish up my report. =.=

I managed to go to work but I feel my body still weak. I need to walk slowly. Some of my colleagues asked about my condition. Thanks for their concern. I absent to work for 2 days only but there were few changes happened at my workplace. I was surprised the general manager visit my workplace this morning. But I think he concern more on the link bridge project. I received a sms from my classmate and he told me that he couldn't find a person to substitute a place for the Singapore trip. I think all of the members need to pay extra to cover up the expanses. I hope my friend manage to find a person. I brought my hard disk today to transfer all the files that I save during my internship time. I realized that I didn't do much on paper works or key in data and save it in the computer. I do more on checking and mapping. I couldn't go back on time just now. I need to arrange the workers to shift some materials. I don't I'm lucky or not. I can't use some of the workers because their superior need them back to do something else urgently. Therefore, my job is delayed. One of my seniors chatted with me before I left. My senior told me about his suggestion on floor master. I agree with the suggestion because this method can control each floors in order. Lastly, one of the managers asked about my last day and my industrial report. I feel guilty for not starting my report and let him for a look before I leave. Tomorrow is my last day to work. I hope it goes well.

Sleep too much. Thanks to the medicine that I took. I feel myself drunk. Meanwhile, I feel so bad because I didn't do my job well. Initially, I thought I will bring the documents back on yesterday but I can't. It caused my supervisor search for it & smsed me about it. I feel myself irresponsible. The moral of the story is never bring back your works home. I really fortunate to have a good mum. She really takes good care of myself. Thanks mum! No energy to write.. Need to keep it for tomorrow works.

The results~ I think not good for a tall guy~

I would like to announce that I'm officially sick. I feel so unhappy with my body condition now. Whole body ache. Sore throat. Head & neck feel heavy. My site works still not finish yet. I can't go to work. I felt myself like a squid now. It is a long time I didn't get sick & today is my 'lucky' day. Went to my hometown clinic that I used to go last time. The Doctor still looks the same. Everytime meet him, he sure ask about my academic status & share his daughter's success. =.=

I sleep most of the time. But I was disturbed by the sub-contrators' phone calls all the time. I regretted for not switching off my handphone. Work is work. No choice. When I watched the Oprah's Show, I just only know that JK Rowling faced a bad life previously before she becomes fame with her Potter's series. One of her quotes: "It is impossible to live without falling at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all. In which case, you fail by default". Nice quote. I think she is a very strong woman. I'm not sure I will recover tomorrow. I hope I will.

Woke up at 3.30am. Slept 5 hours only. I think it is not sufficient rest for a person who need to jog for a marathon. I follow the guidelines of the marathon. I eat my breakfast fully & drink a lot of water. My sis parked her car at her office & walked to KLCC to take the shuttle bus. I saw some of the participants waited at there. Almost everyone wore the green t-shirt. I thought the bus that I ride will exactly stop at the assemble area but the driver stopped at the Jalan Tun Tan Siew Sin. Alot of the participants need to walk from the road, pass through the Masjid Jamek LRT Station, then reach the Dataran Merdeka. But for those who join the 10km run, they need to walk further up to Jalan Parlimen. I think need to walk almost 2km. what a good morning warm up. I saw one of my secondary school friends at there. He looks very fit to me. I saw a lot of girls & women joined the race. Hahaha~ Some readers will know what am I thinking of. The emcee of the marathon still sleepy. He informed the participants that the run will starts at 7pm. Haha~ I thought all of us will start our run at 7am. I just know that the road that I should run is really long. I need to run from Jalan Parlimen>KL Sentral>Brickfields>Jalan Syed Putra>KL Train Station>National Mosque>Bird Park>Police Museum>Bank Negara>Sogo>Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman>Dataran Merdeka. The total of the run is 10.6km. When the race is started, there was a light rain. But luckily, it was a while only. I managed to finish the run. I thought I will fail to do it because I didn't run for a long time. Like what my friend told me, just run for fun. I really enjoyed the run and I will join back on next year. I need to practice to jog back right after my training so that I can build up my stamina. After the run, I faced few problems. My camera is officially sick and I cannot use it. I need to send it for repair. I'm doom. I can't take my final pictures at my work place. Meanwhile, my left knee area is so pain. I can't walk properly. I walk like an old man without a walking stick. Lastly, my 'beloved' friends, Flu & Phlegm are visiting me. I don't now whether I can work tomorrow or not. I hope I recover soon because I haven't take any MC leave during my training time.

Today is the longest time I ever had to join the site visit with the management staff. It took a half day to finish the visit. Took 1 hour to check all of the things for a level. Some of the plans that I should execute were changed. I don't know what to say but I still need to go on. One of the things I felt funny & sad. One of the seniors called my name wrongly. The funny thing is am i look like another person? The sad thing is I already work for almost 3 months. But I understand why my senior called it wrong. Work in the hectic environment is not really good even though the pay is really high. For myself, I also call a person's name wrong and even called a women 'He' or 'Him'. I thought I can go back on time so that I can rest early tonight. But my fate is to work overtime today. I feel quite stress at that time. I need to settle the tasks as soon as possible so that I can go back home before 7pm. I managed to finished it before 6.30pm. But I faced another situation. I drove at the wrong road. I shouldn't use the Imbi Road to go back. There was a traffic jam. Not only in the city centre, but the Federal Highway was the same. I decided to stop by 222 Road at Petaling jaya to take away some food for my dinner. I chose the wrong step. I should go back to my home there & buy other food. A lot of people eat the stall. I waited 30 minutes for the food. I only reached home 2 hours later. I'm worry about tomorrow's activity. I didn't practice my jog for months. =.=

I'm wondering how he can stand the heat~

2011-06-24T22:54:00.003+08:00

I felt weird today without the presence of my supervisor. I'm all by myself. I need to coordinate a sub-contractor to do their works & check their progress alone. I had a meeting with him in the evening & to assigned him what he should do for tomorrow. It's really to arrange it for him because his company is facing insufficient materials on the site. But I can't care too much because that is not my problem. I still remember a senior to told me, never ask anyone about their problems. It is better to tell your own problems that obstructed by others so that you can solve your problems rather than add more problems to yourself when you ask anyone's problem. Today I scold the sub-contractor again but this time with a lower tone. I told him that I get scolded by my manager about the sub-contractor's slow progress every morning and I don't want to get scold & end my training peacefully. Actually I lied to him so that he can ask his workers to do the work that I want immediately. How innocent am I~ ;) Meanwhile I just realized that I supposed to end my training today. Hahaha~ So fast. And for this month, I almost work overtime everyday. It's not that I like but I need to take extra time to finish off my paper works. I don't want to bring back home & do it. If I bring it back home, I think I don;t have the energy to do so. I prefer to write my daily blog, watch television or sleep early. Before I ned this post, I'm facing a big problem. I didn't practice to jog & the marathon is on this Sunday. Maybe I just walk like a model on that day. ;)

22nd & 23rd June 2011

2011-06-23T22:41:00.003+08:00

Yesterday not free to write a post because I was in my university for the whole night. I attended a alumni gathering organized a student club.I was happy & grateful to a lecturer who helped the club to organize the event & it was a successful event. I would like to thank him for helping the club to organize the event. I managed to get some information from the seniors & I met a senior who currently work in the same company with me. Meanwhile, at my workplace, I faced the sound of music for being 'good' enough to do my task. It was my big mistake to let other people to cross over me. Until today, I scold a supervisor from a sub-contractor for not fulfilling my request to do something on time. Actually I don't want to scold but I have no choice. It's really pissed me off. I wish I can use my legs to kick & use my hand to punch their face. I really miss my taekwondo training last time. Release the anger & tension to the kicking pad. Tomorrow until next Monday, my supervisor will not be around. I received few tasks from him to do on this weekend. My colleague saw the list & commented that my tasks are many & he offered to help me. I appreciate his offer but I think I can manage it by myself. I hope so.. I think after tomorrow, some of my unimates will celebrating the end of their training. I still have a week left. I think I need to start to get all of the information I want from the seniors before I leave.

May tomorrow will be a good day~

Most of the managers were not in the office for the whole morning until afternoon. Many readers thought I can take this opportunity to be lazy but unfortunately I can't. Too much of works I need to finish it before I end my training. I feel that I didn't work well during my training time. I realized that I always do careless mistakes until it cause the problems. Meanwhile, I was wondering why the weather still hazy at my hometown. The smell almost same like my workplace, smelly & dusty. I remember there was a Mechanical & Electrical consultant told me that the dust from construction will cause a blockage to the lungs if we expose to the dusty site area too much. I'm quite scared about this situation because I seldom wear the safety mask. Actually it's not a safety mask but it is a surgical mask. I hope my mum's home cook soup can cure the dust in my lung. Actually I don't have the mood to write today's post longer. I'm quite dissatisfied with my performance. I can't wait for the few trips~

20th June 2011

2011-06-20T21:48:00.002+08:00

I had a stomachache when I arrived in the office this morning. I had no choice but need to use the site toilet. I think I have a habit to check the yesterday work progress on the site after the morning exercise & briefing and before the staff meeting. It was quite rush because I only have 20 minutes to check before the meeting starts. I was surprised that 1 of my colleagues asked me 'How are you?'. Actually I don't know I should answer I'm fine or not. But in the end, I just told him honestly that I'm not fine due to stomachache. My workload is increasing even though the days for me to work is are getting lesser. Sometimes I can feel my head is going to explode soon because I can't solve a big problem with an immediate solution. I felt weird during the evening time. Most of the staff signed off early. Maybe they thought there is a routine fogging session or maybe today is the Monday Blue~ When I was in the KTM, I read today's newspaper & there was a quote that makes me feel alert:

"Pride often causes us to write our own death sentence."

Do you agree with it?

18th June 2011

2011-06-18T22:19:00.002+08:00

I reached quite early today. The road was smooth to drive. As usual, went for a site walk with the management staff. I can see the managers were discussing on how to solve the problems on the spot at site. Fast & efficient. But today took the longest time to finish the walk from 8.30am-11.30am. I felt exhausted. the site is look cleaner after the workers done the housekeeping on the last Thursday. I confirmed with my visiting lecturer & he will arrive at 2.00pm. But suddenly one of my managers bring us for a lunch to a place that need to use 30 minutes to reach there. Then after that, need to go to a timber frame factory for a visit. Without delaying the time, I called my lecturer to change the time. I felt so guilty when I asked my lecturer to change the time to meet and I hope that he will not get angry. I would like to apologize him for the inconvenience caused. When my lecturer arrived, I introduced him to my supervisor. My lecturer would like to have a close discussion with my supervisor and asked to wait outside for a while. Actually I'm quite nervous that what questions that my lecturer will ask to my supervisor. After the discussion, my supervisor asked me to enter the meeting room. My supervisor said it will alright. He told me that he said what have I done during my internship & all of the comments were good comments. I was so grateful & really appreciate his help. My lecturer was good also. He asked about my majors points that I learned during the internship. I even brought him to see the mock-up room of the hotel where other people can't see it until the project is finish. I was asking him about the final year project. He told me that if can, he asked me to propose my own title according the field or electives that I want to pursue. I think I need to start to find details & read some journals to create my own title. I'm not sure I can do it or not but I will try. If I can't, then I need to select the titles from my lecturers. I started to miss my job although I haven't finish my internship. Time really flies fast. After my work, I thought I want to meet a friend & have a dinner together. Unfortunately, I asked few friends but all of them are busy or only have limited time to meet. So, no choice, went back home and eat fast food. Home is the best place to rest & to be alone. Home sweet home~

I applied on leave today is to visit the Bukit Tagar Sanitary Landfill, the largest landfill in Malaysia. I don't want to miss this opportunity to learn more about waste treatment plant. The place is really smells good I reached there. The management even served the breakfast to the students. Imagine how I eat with the pungent smell. The presentation from the management is good. Simple but informative. Actually I almost forget the waste treatment plant process. I need to refresh it & other electives back once I finish my internship. The landfill is really big. There are 17 phases that can be used to fill the waste for 40 years. I was happy & satisfied with the trip. After the trip, I met my ex-roommate. I glad to see him in a good condition. Sometimes is good to meet old friends. Can share our experiences & thoughts. My university organized a inter-club bowling competition. I went there to support my comrades & in the end, I play with them. I realized that my bowling skill is getting bad. Probably I need to practice to play weekly in the future but where to find money to play? Haha~ Tomorrow will be a big day for me because my visiting officer will visit me. I'm not sure I prepare or not but I will do my best to tell him what I learn & do during my internship. Cross my fingers~

I found out my friend's quote & it's really influence my thoughts now:

"Life can show no mercy, it can tear your soul apart"

Do you agree with it?

While on my way to KL, there was a minor traffic jam near to the Nanyang Siang Pau factory due to the opposite road accident. I'm wondering why the drivers slow down their cars & want to see the accident. During the morning exercise, I saw the PM walked to the main gate twice while we were doing the morning exercise. Suddenly, there was a man who wore the same uniform entered the site. I thought he is a staff from the headquarters who come here for a check up. PM asked me to bring him up to the office. For my sight, he looks mature & tough for me. I heard one of the seniors said that he will assisting my supervisor. Luckily there is a permanent staff to help my supervisor. He told me that today is his first day to work as an engineer and I predict that his age is around 23 or 24. But to my surprise, he is younger than me! I felt so old. After the lunch time, I went to the meeting room to make a call to KTM to ask about the tickets to Singapore for the end of July. I accidently disturbed my supervisor rest in the room. I felt so guilty & apologize to him. The new schedule & price for the ticket is still pending for that month and will only know in 15 days time. I'm quite scared that the tickets will sold out fast and I couldn't buy the tickets. What a good service. At evening, I need to stay back for a while to monitor the workers to do the housekeeping. I asked my colleague to accompany me because the day is dark & I don't want to be alone. The new staff also want to join us. The condition on each floors are getting cleaner. Just some of the materials didn't arrange it properly. I felt guilty for letting them to followed me up too late night. I hope they will not feel bad on me. Tomorrow will be on leave. Will be back on Saturday~

I just realized that I lost 4kg & my pant is really loose now. Even my belt can't tight the pant well. It was so amazing. Work on construction site can make you slim. I was happy that my visiting lecturer called me in the morning before the staff meeting. But I feel a little bit nervous what will be the questions that my lecturer will ask to my supervisor. During the meeting, all of the staff were being informed that there will be a Safety & Health Audit on this coming Friday. I think every seniors will face pressure because they need to maintain the site safe & clean. From this training, I learnt something is very important. Whenever you plan a thing earlier, don't ever think that it will run smoothly. You may face a problem & it will cause a delay to finish the task. The best way to solve this problem is to have a backup plan. Sometimes I feel frustrated when I face this kind of situation because I don't have enough time to think the backup plan. Maybe I need to be more calm. I miss the yoga too much. One day I need to practice it & get my flexibility & patience back. Meanwhile, I heard the police siren so many times. From morning until the evening. I don't know what happen. Maybe there is a dignitary in the city centre. When I talked with a sub contractor's supervisor, he told me that sub-contractors are great liars. He told me to becareful. I agree with him. I need to be smarter than them so that I will be the winner for the game. This is what I applied when I faced a situation where there was another sub-contractor asked me to help him to give the number of his workers before he write down his daily report & give it to my supervisor. Although I check the men power everyday but I will not give the answer to him. He think I'm a kind or stupid person anymore. Hahaha~ I told him that I didn't check it & you may ask my colleague. In the end he called his workers to see the amount.

For 2 days, I couldn't manage to get a seat when I take use KTM to go to my work place. Not like last week, can sit & sleep for minutes before I reach the destination. I didn't feel any earthquake today even though I'm on a high rise building. Maybe I focused too much on my works. I faced multitasks & I need to settle it by today. There was a task I scared the most since the beginning of my internship. But I have no choice. I still need to do it. I still haven't start to write my internship report. I was requested by a senior to write the report before I leave. I understand & agree my senior's opinion because at least they can check my report & will help me to correct the content or to put more information in the report. Meanwhile, I was lucky because I witnessed the way to measure the moisture on the floor before the time flooring installation & will going to see the installation on tomorrow morning. I was worry about the rain. I hope there will be no leakage again in the building.

2011-06-13T22:41:00.003+08:00

Today, 1 of my seniors thought I will be leaving in 2 days time. Is my mistake also because I told him that I will leave by the middle of the month. My colleague is back for work. He looked pale for me. I think he haven't recover from his sick back. Nothing much serious case happen on the site. Jobs still need to finish. While on my way back. got 2 person asked me which station now in the KTM. They thought I am an expert to know every where. Too tired to write for today. To be continue tomorrow~

11th & 12th June 2011

2011-06-12T18:26:00.003+08:00

I worked from yesterday morning until today morning. Yesterday I had a site walk with the managers & seniors. It took almost 2 hours++ to finish the site walk. There were few issues need to be solve. I hope I do my job well before I leave. My colleague haven't come back for work. He is still sick. A lot of seniors & even PM asked about his condition. I hope he will recovering soon. After my dinner with my supervisor, I informed him that I would like to extend my training for a week only. I told him that I want to use use my holiday well because this will be my last holiday before I graduate. I feel guilty for not extending a month. I wish him all the best for his job. I stayed at my work place for the link bridge second phase first time launching. Before the launching, all of the seniors & myself went to the nearest 'Datuk' God to pray for the safety of the launching. This was the first time I felt like a tradition of a construction. Whenever there is a new project, the contractors & engineers need to pray first before it starts. The launching started at 2am today. Everyone waited for the materials to arrive since 11pm. The materials arrived at 1.45am today. The police escorted the materials from Port Klang to KLCC & it cause a traffic jam on the road. It was like the only huge project in the city centre for the night. It was quite scary when I saw the mobile crane to carried the steel up to the piers. If there is any technical problem occurs, then an accident will happen & it will become the main news on the next morning. I was fortunate because I had a chance to see the launching live infront of my eyes. Not everyone can see this in the industry. I would like to thank to my supervisor & managers for allowing me to see the launching. It was a good experience even though I didn't get a good rest. Reached back home.. Slept for the whole afternoon. I hope tomorrow will be a good start for me.

Imagine when it drops~

P/S: More photos will be on my Facebook..

For the first time, 1 of my seniors asked me about did all of the seniors treat me well or not during the lunch time. Honestly, I really grateful to have them as my seniors. They really help & teach me on how to work on a construction site. Even sometimes they stay back after 5pm to teach the knowledge of works & share their working experience to me. Tomorrow I will be going to work for a whole day without sleep/ I can't wait for tomorrow night to see on how they launch the work. I hope I have enough energy to work.

Their menu, the Roasted Duck is nice to eat~

Bentley~ Rich people also come here & eat~

The road tax is RM15000++ & it's expired~ LOL

So embarrassed this morning. After my morning coffee before I enter the site. I saw a lot of workers stranded outside of the main gate. It was like a mass gathering to boycott something. When I reached the gate, the security personal doesn't allowed me to enter because I didn't wear my safety helmet. No wonder everyone were outside here. I told him that my helmet is in the office & same goes to the workers. They should allow us to enter. He told me that need to be fair & square. It was so embarrassed I need to stand with the workers & wait for them to open the gate. He need to follow his boss instruction. Even some of my seniors were surprised about it. One of them even called the PM to clarify about it. After few minutes later, the security personals opened the gate & let us to enter the site. My senior joked that we need to carry the helmet everywhere even when we go back home or come to the site. Haha~ For the first time, I saw a sub-contractor's workers are getting lesser due the company's problem. No work progress except do the housekeeping jobs. This will cause a delay for the completion of the works. While on my way back home, I managed to get a seat. Not many people take KTM just now. I think most of the people are having Thursday night out. In the train, there was a guy who sat beside me & eat his bread. I was like ARGH~~ How could he eats his bread next to me~ He shouldn't eat because it is against the law if he do so & makes me so hungry~~

When I read the newspaper in the morning, I was surprised that there was a women sacrifice her own body to appease her boyfriend. In the end, her boyfriend broke up with her because he cannot stand with her body wounds after the operation. Love is really blind.

Everyday got problems occur. It depends on myself whether I can solve it fast, steady or slow. If slow, it will cause a delay for the project. My colleague was complaining about one of the sub contractors tricked/fooled him. I can sensed that he is really angry about it. Same goes to me when I was just started my work at there. I really want to use my fist to give them a gift. but now, based on my little experience, I know how to tackle this problem.

I thought I can go back early. But due to heavy rain just now, I need to wait the rain stop. I was worried that each floors in the building will get flood. I helped my supervisor to check half of the building whether every floors are wet or not. Luckily, the water leaks until level 12 only. If the water leaks until level 6, it will be a big headache for everyone because the floor timber installation will starts in few days time.

I still considering about my extension time. Pending~

Imagine, if so many people wait at the station & the train is full of people when it arrives. How it would be for those who waited at there? I squeeze you. You squeeze me. A normal life for those travel with the public transport.

2011-06-07T21:11:00.002+08:00

Same routine. Continue to do my same works. I agree with my supervisor. We need to firm with our time management. When the sub-contractors give a random time to finish their task, we need to ask them precisely which day & what time they can complete their task. If can, the main contractor fix the time for them. Meanwhile, a lot of people who work there asked me about when is my last day. My supervisor started to ask whether I want to extend my training period or not. He gave me a time to consider. I am still thinking whether I want to extend or not. I was surprised that my colleague is playing with me. While we were doing the inspection on the IBS wall defects. He used the L-rule & poke me. I was like =.=

While on my way back, I stopped at KL Sentral so that I can take the KTM train on time. It was really 'COOL' to take KTM today. A lot of people in the train can touch you freely and for guys, this is your opportunity. Actually, I'm joking. You will get molest by other people & need to becareful with your belongings. Tomorrow the launching has been postponed to this coming Saturday. I can't wait to see how they work on it.

P/S: I really don't like when people who didn't reply my sms.

端午节

2011-06-06T22:09:00.003+08:00

I would like to wish 端午节快乐 to all of of the Chinese readers. Today I was late to work for the second time. Thanks to KTM I was late for 30 minutes. It is unusual for me to be late for something. But luckily, I managed to attend the staff meeting & get the updates from the managers & seniors. Sometimes, I feel so angry when the workers didn't do the things that I want. They think they are very smart until cause a lot of troubles. After lunch, 1 of the managers gave a rice dumpling to everyone. I was surprised about it. When I send the inspection form to the consultant, the MEP consultant asked when I will finish my internship. I told him the exact date. He said it's really fast. I agree with him, time flies fast. I thought I can go back home on time today but I failed. I need to check some of the problems that occurred.

Lastly, I would like to wish one of my unimates a Happy Birthday! May your wish come true. Stay healthier & stronger.

The gift that he gave it to me~ 2 years old~

Happy Birthday to SPB Yang Di-Pertuan Agong. Long Live the King! I hope our country will continue to have a good, prosperity & peace nation. Yesterday evening was a good time for me. I managed to watch the Bravo Broadway at Petronas Philharmonic Hall, KLCC. I didn't watch an orchestra show since the Music of the Spheres show or last 6 months ago. The tickets were sold out. Almost all of the seats were occupied. It was a different concert that I watched previously. Thanks to my lecturer who helped me to book the tickets so that I can watch the show with a good price. This concert was much more relax & the songs soothe my ears. I'm glad that my friends were enjoying it too. The were 22 songs & the songs that I like most is the Mamma Mia! Medley & West Side Story- Overture. One my unimates suggested that I should go to KL Pac & watch some of the shows. I will check & try to go there soon. After the show, planned to go to Skybar for a look but unfortunately, the place is full. So, I followed my friends went to a place to sing until the late night of the day or I should write until the early morning of the day. I reached back home around 4.30am. Luckily I managed to reach home safely. Thanks to the coffee that I drank. Today will be a rest day for me. I need to settle few problems before the day ends. Have a good Sunday~

3rd June 2011

2011-06-04T00:36:00.003+08:00

Another normal working day for me. Nothing serious case happen to me. Just need to rushed some of things that need to be settle before 4pm just now. Now I realized that I follow my supervisor's instruction. Work on the site for 60% & in the office for 40%. Sometimes 80% on site & 20% in the office. No wonder I didn't gain weigh. I'm getting thinner. Meanwhile, there was a war between my seniors about an issue. All of the staff just keep quiet & I was pretending to do my paper works. For my opinion, it's better to solve a problem or issue peacefully. One my seniors told me even a client will get angry until smashed the table. =.=

Before I sign off, I informed my manager that I would like to join the team for the link bridge launching on next week. It will be a night job & need to stay at the site for a whole day. The reason that I want to join because I want to get some information on how they launch the bridge. I hope I have the energy to stand for that night. After signed off, I went to BPP to meet my unimates. I was late because due to traffic jam. I used the wrong road. But fortunately, I still can meet them & get some updates from them about their working life. I still thinkingg how long I want to work for my internship. Should I enjoy my holiday?

It has been 5 months I didn't watch orchestra performance. I can't wait for the concert tonight. I hope it will be enjoyable.

I think my seniors read my blog already. Even one of them told me that not to post any confidential information at here. I understand the term of private & confidential. I only write what I feel during my work time. Meanwhile, I think my concentration is getting low. I do not know why. When somebody talk to me, my mind will like flying without wings. Maybe it is the early month. After 3 pm, almost all of the managers are not in the office. I heard they went to HQ for a meeting. Not only at my workplace, other site which 1 of my classmates who works in the same company wrote on her twitter that her managers went to HQ too. I think something big announcement need to be inform. Before I finished my work, my colleague told me that he is hungry & asked me whether I am hungry or not. I think I already immune with the hungriness because I used to eat my dinner around 9-10pm. I think it is not a healthy lifestyle. It will come back to normal after this month. While on my way to LRT station, I saw one of my college friends. I was surprised when I saw him. He still looked the same. I was surprised that he is dating with his partner. I was happy for him because he found his partner to share his life & time. He asked me about my relationship status. Haha~ I even joked with him & asked him to recommend some girls to me. But he said don't have. Too bad... Hahaha~ Lastly, I;m wondering why some of my friends no need to work on tomorrow because if I'm not mistaken, there is no public holiday.

I felt so tired today even though I slept for 7 hours on yesterday night. Maybe I didn't exercise for a long time. Oh yes. I doomed. I haven't practice to run for the upcoming marathon. I work daily except on Sunday. Sunday is my rest day. I lazy to go out & jog. I checked back the repair works on the defects wall & I heard a lot of methods, reasons & excuses on the inspection. I was confused because I don't know the real way to check it. Furthermore, the sub-contractors like to do taichi their faults to each other. Yesterday, LKC asked me whether I want to watch the beginning of the link bridge phase 2 but need to stay back until the early morning. Furthermore, no need to sleep & need to continue the works. That means no need to sleep for a night. I told him that I will consider it but he said no need to consider & should go for it. Meanwhile, there were few seniors asked me that when I will going to finish my internship. I still have 3 weeks++ left. I still haven't decide my extension of my internship..

Nothing much happened during my work time. Continue with my own works. During lunch time, my seniors brought me & my colleague to a vegetarian food court next to a temple at Jalan Ampang. I felt so calm when I reached that place. So peaceful. The food is nice. I was surprised that I saw few foreigners who are working in the embassy came to the food court & eat. Before we go back to work, LKC told me that as a human, we need to know the action that we need to do well. After 2 weeks, I managed to go back home on time. I don't to work overtime because I wanted to join my old schoolmates meet up. I was happy to get updates from them. They looked mature & I'm being the youngest who is still studying. While we were chatting, I received a missed call from another friend. I called my friend back. My friend told me there were something bad happen. I asked my friend into the details & talked for 20 minutes. I was heart broken. But this is a real world. We need to face the unexpected. If the readers read my previous post, I am a revengeful guy. I won't let it go easily. I promise that. But luckily, my old friends managed to make me happy back with their stories. Sometimes, it is good to laugh for a while to release your stress. I just checked one of my classmate's email. My classmate wrote that the university want all of the students who are having their industrial training to work 12 weeks or 60 days exclude the public holiday & weekend. So, I think I need to consider to extend my training. I have to discuss again this matter with my supervisor when he is free to do so.

Purposely went to MV for a movie & haircut. But unfortunately, too many cars until no car park available. Luckily, managed to go next to MV & found a lot of car parks. Purposely to find a car park for half an hour is really waste the car's petrol. Meanwhile, the movie that I wanted to watch is either full or the seats were too front for each sessions. I was quite frustrated since I cannot watch the movie on it's premiere day. Purposely went back to my hometown nearest cinema to watch the movie. I managed to buy the tickets but need to wait until the evening time to watch it. If I know earlier, I should watch at nearby. No need to go so far & watch it. The movie is quite nice. now I'm waiting for the next movie which it will screen on next 2 months. My haircut even look funny. I look like an army. Too short. But it's good because I need to wear safety helmet all the times. Long hair will cause me to sweat more. Tomorrow I will start my third month of my internship. More new challenges will come? Or the old problems will come back? Nobody knows it.

Amazing Grace~

I don't have much workloads today since I managed to finish it on yesterday night. No additional problems. I just need t follow up my works. As usual, went for a site inspection with the managers from level 25 to the ground floor. PM didn't say much on the trade that I incharge since my supervisor is not here. Meanwhile, my colleague faced a dilemma, I guessed. Because he got a difficulty to handle the workers. The workers disobey his instruction. But luckily LKC helped him to solve it. I think he will able to handle the workers soon. There too many mosquitoes in the construction area even though the safety & health officer used a type of water fogging to kill the mosquitoes. But it is useless. There are still got a lot of it. Each levels I think got at least hundreds of mosquitoes. I hope that I won't get any sickness if the mosquitoes bite me & suck my blood. During my lunch time, I sat next to PM. It's quite pressure when I sat beside him. But he still ok & even asked me about my hometown & my university studies. I'm quite fortunate because all of the seniors at my workplace are friendly & helpful. Maybe because I'm a trainee. Now I'm watching the Teresa Teng song from a channel. Her voice sounds so smooth & nice to hear. It was loss for such a good singer died early. I doubt that the reader will think I look too old for this~ ;)

This is the second time, my supervisor not in the office for a whole day. He went for his training at the headquarters for two days. Although there is no supervision on me but I still need to settle my works. There are insufficient of materials at the site. For example, I need to use the wheelbarrow to bring the sand up to the building. Unfortunately, all of the wheelbarrows are broken & I need to borrow the other sub-contractor's wheelbarrow to let my worker to bring the sand up. It's really wasting my time to arrange this stuff. Meanwhile, my colleague was facing a difficult situation when he called the workers for help to carry the door frames. The workers didn't come down. He asked for my help to call them down. At first, they didn't listen to me. But after I met them, I told them that this work is your bowl of rice. If you didn't help my colleague, if you face the sound of tune. In the end, they followed me to go down & helped my colleagu. Sometimes is quite to ask the workers to do the work because we are just a trainee. But I will try my best to control them. I thought I can leave the site on time today but I was failed. LKC grabbed my time to check on my working progress. But he is a helpful senior because he is willing to teach me about the real construction environment, architecture design & requirements of it. He also gave his tips/quote to us which is the '4M" : Management, Man Power, Materials & Machinery to run a project~ After the discussion & had a short chat with him & my colleague, I offered my help to fetch my colleague back since today is his birthday. I understand the feeling of using public transport during at night time because I faced it before when I worked in a bookshop at KLCC. I always reached home around 11.30pm++ if I work from 1.30pm-10pm. When I reached home, I told my mom that I failed for my mission to reach home early. No choice, sometimes I need to finish my work so that I don't need to bring it forward to the next day & increase my burden. When I checked my email just now, I received an email from my university coordinator for internship. After a month, I know who is my visiting supervisor. I hope that I can make a good time arrangement for him to meet my supervisor at the site soon. And lastly, I read a post from a fan page that I support. There is a person lost his taekwondo belt after his training & he is a black belt holder. For my opinion, as a black belt holder, he/she should know how precious the belt is because the belt is representing a person dignity or a rank. If that person lost it, then it shows that the person is not qualify to wear the belt. This is what I learnt from my previous instructor & I taught the juniors about the importance of the belt & do not play it. After tomorrow, I still have a month left to work. But I still haven't decide whether I should extend my working period or not. Should I or shouldn't I?

2011-05-26T22:55:00.003+08:00

My mission failed today. I didn't manage to go back on time. I need to work overtime because my supervisor asked me to help him to fill up the inspection forms for the works done by the sub-contractors. Furthermore, he briefed ab out tomorrow tasks to my colleague & I because tomorrow he will not be at site because he will going to have a training at the headquarters for two days. Oh no~~ If I got any problems for these two days, who will I refer to? Meanwhile, I had my lunch at the same restaurant for 2 consecutive days. Although same food but I'm still happy because it was free. During the lunch time, almost everyone talked bad about a consultant, which is very strict for inspection. Lazy to write.. Night~

2011-05-25T22:31:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, my supervisor asked me that whether I want a general worker to help me to execute some of the operation works. I told him that I'm not ready yet. The reason is if I have a new worker, I need to train the worker to be skillful before help me to do work. Another reason is it will burden me & I need to monitor the worker's progress. About today, I almost late to work. Thanks to KTM. The train arrived late at KL Sentral for 15 minutes. Usually, the train arrive at 7.15am from my hometown. I'm quite lucky again because I saw the 'Gold' for the third time. This time, it was located on level 20. I predict that it should be the same person who do it because the 'Golds' that I saw are almost the same, I ate my lunch quite late because I joined a meeting with a consultant who has the expertise in facade. I think my theory is right. Whenever somebody treat me for lunch during my work time, I will face more workloads right after my lunch. I think I work overtime for a week since last Wednesday. It's not because I want to get extra pay but I need to settle my works on time so that I do not bring my works forward to another day & increase my burden. My colleague also faced the same situation, He need to work overtime but in the end, I asked him to stop his work because it was already 8pm & even my supervisor asked to leave & continue our works back tomorrow morning. I'm so bad not letting my colleague to finish his works. Haha~ Even one of my seniors teased me that a trainee shouldn't work overtime. What to do... Before I leave the office, my supervisor chatted with me about this workloads. I understand his situation & suggested to him that he should take a break & go for a holiday. He joked back that it will cause him more troubles when he comes back from holiday. I agree with him because he is the only person who incharge for his own works. I can't help him much because I'm still a trainee. I just do my best whenever he ask to help him..

From a consultant's quote: "If you want to do BIG THINGS, you need to have a BIG DREAM"

Agree?

Quite busy today. Even my colleague the new trainee told me that I looked busy. I went for the staff meeting for the second time this month. All of the managers + senior engineers attended the meeting. My supervisor asked me to join the meeting if I'm free because from there, I will learn a lot on how the seniors solve their problems in the meeting. I felt a little pressure when I'm attending this meeting because what I can see that everyone in the meeting room look so serious & the atmosphere is really cool. During the meeting time, the PM was giving pressure to my supervisor due to some delays of the work. I can see that my supervisor is in bad mood. Whole day do few inspections. I need to do multitasking so that I can finish my job fast. After the sub-contractors' meeting, my supervisor asked me to stay in the room & have a meeting with a sub-contractor. They were discussing the man power of the workers & I realized that we are late to the maximum already. I saw my supervisor looked so down. He told me that he had a headache. I sensed my workload is increasing. More paper works for me to settle it. Come Come~ Meanwhile, my old friends from college would like to have a meet near to the college. Initial, I declined to join them due it's quite late. But in the end, I changed my mind & join them. I know that it's quite hard to meet with old friends. I saw them look quite old.. Time flies fast~

Today, my supervisor is not in the office. He asked to bring the new trainee to help me to do the defects inspection on the dry framing wall. When I see him wear the old shoe with holes, I'm quite pity him because the water can easily enters in the shoe. It's quite pain to wear a wet shoe. Since last Wednesday, I work overtime. I am worry that whether I can claim my overtime pay or not. Until just now, I can't wait. I asked my supervisor about it. He told me that I will get it by the end of the month because usually the staff will get the overtime payment on next month. I try to wait whether I can get it or not. Meanwhile, I told my supervisor that I wanted to extend for another 2 weeks. He told me to extend for a month because 2 weeks sound quite weird. I need to think back whether I should extend for a month or not~ Before I leave the office, my supervispr told me that I will be going to be very busy soon. Probably start busy on next week. I thought I'm already busy with my works. Come come, give me more works. I like it Baby!

Actually, nothing special that I want to write here. Whole day stay at home. I managed to sleep for 10 hours. The longest time for me to sleep for the week. Checked my thousand emails. Chatted with some of my friends. Glad that they are still in good shape. Meanwhile, I have time to read a biography book bought by my sister. Until now, the book is still the top selling book in the country. I think it is a good book to read because the book shows the writer's life, the problems that the write faced & the ways that he used to solve it. But after I read 2 chapters of the book, my eyes felt so tired slept again. Long time I didn't sleep during the afternoon time. But there is a consequence, after I woke up, I felt headache~ I think it is due to insufficient of oxygen in the brain. Meanwhile, my unimates told me that I'm getting more wild. I agree with the point that people will follow the changes of the environment especially those who still young like a white paper. Sometimes I will think a women or girl that I like. Maybe I can say this is call desperation for love? Haha~

A lot of the readers ask about why I want to put my Blog & Twitter as 'aMiR'? I will explain in the detail when my Blog reachs 500 posts. Haha~ Tomorrow need to work again. Monday Blue? Who knows? ;)

This a good song! Hans Zimmer is a very good music composer~

Went to the site in the early morning. I had my breakfast with my colleagues & seniors at a morning market. This was my second time to minum kopi at there since my internships starts. As usual, had a site inspection with the management staff but this time, only checked from level 15 to the ground floor. Yesterday evening rain heavily & caused some of the level are flooded. The workers need to do repeated works to clean the water for the affected area. I felt bored with this work to monitor the workers to clean it up. There are no solution for it yet. I hope this problem can be solve as soon as possible. I think this week, I had free lunch for 3 times & 2 times for dinner. It's really good for me because I can save the money for my upcoming trip. For the first time on Saturday, I worked until 7pm just now. I managed to finish my paper works on time. So there will be no extra works on next Monday. To my surprised, when I met my supervisor, he asked to punch his job card because he need to leave early for his friend's wedding. Haha~ He left early for the first time again.

I realized that I wrote too much of 'For the first time' on this post~ Hahaha~

It's about the flood again. Almost every floors were wet today. I think my supervisor is facing a big trouble. He has a task to solve this problem as soon as possible because the timber floor installation need to starts soon on level 6. There should be no water ponded on each level by now. Meanwhile, I need to settle the problems that occurred on level 13 before the Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing consultants will do their inspection on tomorrow morning. Actually, it is not my job to helped the sub-cons to check the defects or problem. They should do it by themselves. My supervisor even told them that the main con is very kind to help them. Why their workmanship are so bad? Can't they do it properly? Really no eyes to see it. What to do, I still need to do my job as instructed by my supervisor. When I finished my work at 6pm, suddenly one of my seniors asked me & my new colleague to eat dinner together. I told him that I have my own dinner at home but he still wanted me to go dinner with him. In the end, I followed them for dinner. My supervisor told me that I neglected my mum for the second time when I didn't go back home & eat her home cook. What to do again~ When a manager ask you for an outing, can you reject easily? When I reached home, I still have to eat my mum's cook because she knows that I prefer home cook to eat. So, today I had 2 dinners at 1 night~ How full am I now. My senior even told me that tomorrow morning come to the officer in the early morning so that we can have a morning breakfast at one of the morning market in Imbi. I was like should I go? see how is the situation tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my last day of the my 7th week~ Life still goes on~

I was lucky because the senior who borrowed my notes returns it back to me & he gave his own text book to me for my future reference. He told me that I do not need to return his book back to him. How good he is. Thanks! Meanwhile, I felt my eyes bag were so tired. It was like a tonne of loads on my eyes. So tired. Lazy to write. I just want to show a picture that will tell the whole story of my day today. So near yet so far~

I do not need to use my own money to buy my lunch & dinner. I had my free lunch & dinner before I went to my university just now. Thanks to my PM for the lunch & my supervisor for the dinner. And also, today I work for the longest time since my first day of internship. I managed to work from 8.00am until 9.30pm. I felt so tired. During the dinner time, I was surprised that LKC is married & has a daughter. I felt so unbelievable about it. It was raining after my dinner. I was almost late to reach my university. If compare to last year, this year less students come & visit the bazaar. Maybe it's due to the rain or else. I saw the EBs worked so hard. I hope they manage to reach the targets that I set tomorrow. Time to sleep. I can't wait to watch the movie~ I hope I won't get sleepy easily later.

Wesak Day 2011

2011-05-17T22:38:00.005+08:00

Today is a public holiday but I read from Facebook posts, some of my friends need to work today. I hope they can get double pay for it because of they need to work on holiday. Meanwhile, I had a meeting with the club's committee members at a shopping mall. It is quite relax when do a meeting outside from the campus. It took 3 hours for the meeting today. It's not good to organize a meeting more than an hour. If more than 3 hours, it means that there are still a lot of problems not yet solve. But it's a good meeting because we can organize a lunch time or gathering together out from the campus at the same time. Whole day in the shopping mall. Managed to watch a movie called 'Paul'. It was a hilarious movie. I can't wait for this coming Thursday. I want to watch that movie so much~

The EBs~

Big Ship~ I can't wait to watch the movie!

First of all, I would like to wish Happy Teacher's Day to my former kindergarten teachers, primary school teachers, secondary school teachers, college lecturers, current university lecturers & lastly, my current internship supervisor. I really appreciate your guidance & teaching that build my characteristic throughout my whole life until now. For the first time, I treated a coffee for my supervisor for his guidance. My parents advised me to treat him at least once for his help to teach me on the site & I adhered the advice.

Meanwhile, there were 2 surprises for me today. First, my supervisor informed me that the MD will come for a site visit at our work place. It was a last minute announcement. When I saw him, he looked so serious to me. He never smile. I even saw him scolded the managers until everyone is quiet. I even need to delayed my lunch time to wait for him to finish his visit. Even one of the executive told me that why he wants to choose the wrong time to visit. During the lunch time, my supervisor told my PM that there will be a new trainee join our team. No need to ask the gender. I know is a guy. After the lunch, I met the new trainee in the office. He looked smart with the formal wear. My supervisor asked me to bring for a site walk while he was busy with his things. He is quite lucky because he managed to meet my supervisor on his first day and even know some of the basic things of the site from me. I think got a new trainee is good because my job will be lesser or maybe more?

MD was watching on the building with other management staff~

Almost 6 years I didn't go to the lagoon. Thanks to the organizer because she managed to get staff price for the tickets. There were a lot of changes at there. I felt myself like a small kid again. Played some of the kid's games. The water still the same smell & taste. Chlorinated smell & taste. I didn't play one of the game which will cause me a big dizzy. Maybe I don't have the courage to play it. Maybe I would like to say that I don't like to take a risk. Even my former roommate noticed that. I prefer to have a peace life, if I can. I was surprised that I saw 2 of my secondary school junior & senior (brother & sister) at there. There was a performance at the lagoon. Their dance is really good but the singing part, not good. Luckily we came early, almost play all of the games before the rain comes. Just there is a park that we don't have the chance to visit. During the trip, I saw a lot of couples who are really open minded. I saw there was a couple hugged so closely each other & the guy 'feel' the girl's breast so hardly & it's like a breastfeeding scene. What a 'good' scene. It was a good trip with my fellow coursemates. I realized that it is hard to maintain the friendship with everyone. It is the time will tell the story. We need to familiar with this kind of situation & need to move on. We will be alone in some of the situations & we need to decide our own path.

Nice view & good feng shui~

A lot of my seniors took a day leave today. Probably they want to have a longer break until next Tuesday. But my supervisor is still a hardworking staff. In the morning, my supervisor told me that there will be a site visit again with the management staff. He asked me to go along with them. He said that the PM wants to have a site visit on every Saturday. I think it is a good way to monitor the project's progress but it will be also a bad news for every staff because the PM will check every single things during the site visit. My supervisor is one of them will face the sound of music from the PM. I'm quite pity him but no choice. It his responsibility to solve the problems. Before the lunch time, he asked me to meet him in the meeting room to discuss about my internship progress. He told me that if I got any questions, just immediately ask him. But I told him that I only will ask him when he is free. Usually I will compile a load of questions & will ask him when he is free. Imagine how busy is he. Even one of the seniors advised me that don't be like him. We need to enjoy our work life but not to suffer it. I managed to sneak into the link bridge project area today. I saw the workers on how to do the micropile for the bridge. I wished they send me to this project to help out~~ Tomorrow will going out for a water gathering. I think I didn't go there for 6 years.. I'm still wondering am I still a kid? Still want to play water~ Haha~

With the management staff during the site visit~ Guess who is the PM~

Friday the 13th~ What a 'Nice' day~ I couldn't write a post here yesterday night due to some technical problem with Blogger. When I posted my words: 'No blog today. There is a problem with Blogger. I think that at least tonight there is no annoying blog to disturb the Facebook viewers with my daily report' on my Facebook, some of the viewers like this post. But still, I will do my best to update all of the things I want to write at here. Meanwhile, I took 3 hours leave to went back to my university to attend a program. Maybe the readers think that I'm psycho. Purposely went back there. I felt so disappointed that very few students joined the program. To add more salts on my wound, no pretty girls attend~ Too bad. Like what my friends told me, I'm working at the city centre. everyday can see OL work at there. I was surprised that this semester, only 30++ new students who are taking civil engineering course in my university. So few. But I'm quite happy that my comrades were there & organized it well. I saw them still the same. So active~ I heard a lot of good & bad news from them about their lives in my university.

At night time, I went back to Taman Sri Muda that I always use to eat with my family when I was young. The place is changed a lot. It becomes a foreigners' settlement. A lot of Chinese moved to other place. I miss my old place a lot. I still remember when I stayed at my old house. Can ride my bicycle around the area. Can walk to the nearby KFC & Giant in 10 minutes. My king size bed. So comfy~ In memories~

I almost can see a fight happen at my work place. But luckily all under control. It happened at the passenger hoist where the sub-contractor's workers quarreled with my company's general workers. It was about the lost of the passenger hoist's key. My company's general worker accused the sub-contractor's steal the key when he left the hoist for a while. I'm not sure who is right or wrong but the Safety Officer instructed the sub-contractor's workers to leave the site immediately. The sub-contractor's supervisor felt pissed off when his men were kicked out from the site. I rushed to the office & informed my supervisor. Then, my supervisor went to the scene to settle it with the another supervisor. This is my first time to see this kind of scene. I think more to come. Luckily no fight today. If not, it will give a bad name to the company. My supervisor is busy again. He didn't go for his lunch & need to finish a report. Pity him. After the lunch time, he was in rush & went out. I think he is having another meeting. I continue with my works. At 3.30pm, all of the sub contractors were waiting for my supervisor to come back & chair the meeting but he still haven't come back. 3 of his colleagues helped him to chaired it. Usually my supervisor chair the meeting just need around 30 minutes++ to settle all the things but his colleagues, need to take 1.5 hours to end the meeting. I really respect my supervisor on how he manage the things fast & well. I still haven't receive my salary yet.When they will bank in the money to me?? I'm still waiting~~~

Today, I had my free lunch again in restaurant near to Pavilion. The restaurant operated since 1956. It's a very old restaurant. I think there is a consequence when I eat my lunch free with my seniors & managers. Usually after my free lunch, I will sure face more problems at my working place & need to work harder to solve the problems. Maybe it is a curse. Nothing is free. When you get something free, you need to think whether it is genuine or not. Sometimes we need to pay back if we get some free things. So, should I join with my seniors & managers to go for free lunch on next time? The answer is ABSOLUTELY YES! I felt awkward when the Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) Seniors, Sub-Contractors & even their Consultants call me 5哥 (In Cantonese). Thanks to one of my seniors who started to call me this name. I'm the youngest here but they still call me like that. I have no idea how to stop them from calling me this name & I just let it be. I saw another problem that caused my supervisor face a big problem. My supervisor is a strict person when comes to work. He always want to settle the things on time. He ordered the sub-contractor to build the wall on the risers part (To cover it) today but the MEP consultants haven't do their inspection on the risers. When they came, they can't inspect it & ask me about why we already build the wall & block them to check the risers. I have no idea. I immediately called my supervisor about it. In the end, the consultant who incharge for the wall gave a tantrum to my supervisor in the office before I sign off. Everyone in the office just keep quiet. He asked my supervisor why need to build the wall first before the MEP consultants finish their inspection. I'm not sure what happened actually but I heard that actually the problem started from MEP department. They were late to do the inspection & my supervisor have no choice & need to go on with his works. I saw my supervisor is getting more pressure now. If he is getting more pressure, what will happen to me?

When I was driving my sister's car, I listened something that make me surprised from a radio channel. There was a triad created a Facebook group to recruit members. The message of the group conveys in this way: “If you want protection, just click this icon.” They were really smart & superb by using this way to earn money. I hope nobody especially teenager will join them. If they join, they are really stupid & will destroy their future. So tired today. I don't have time to rest during my work time. When I was on level 9, my supervisor called me to come back to the office to meet the Project Manager. I was quite surprise & nervous what is happened. When I met him, he just asked me to help the Safety & Health Executive to write a monthly report for April. Go up & down & up & down. After 12pm. While I was still doing my inspection on a floor, suddenly my supervisor called me again. He told me that it's time for lunch. Why haven't come down yet. After the call, I rushed back to ground floor & met my supervisor & other seniors. I was lucky to ate at this restaurant>>

A Hainanese Restaurant with 70 years ++ history~

It is located near to Dang Wangi. The food is so delicious. I will go there & eat again soon. I thought I want to pay for my own food but my seniors said no need to do so. They claimed the money from my supervisor. I was like @.@. They told me that my supervisor is very rich since he save money a lot. I was starting to think what should I buy for my supervisor & some of my seniors for my appreciation gifts once I finish my internship. Any ideas? While on my way back, I saw a car with a nice car plate number>>

Nice number~~

I just realized that today my salary is out but I haven't check it. I'm not sure I can get my overtime pay or not. If I don't get it, what will happen next?? Before I end this post, I watched Oprah Show when I was back at home. In her show, she was travelling to Australia & there was an Aussie said about the comparison of work life between Australia & America. In Australia, they will enjoy the life to the fullest & will get a 5-6 weeks annual leave while in America, they only got 2-4 weeks annual live. He even said that: 'Not live for work. But Work for Live.' Do you agree?

Everyone is talking about the weather today. Since last week, the weather is seem so hot. After a cold bath still sweat all over the body. But I still like this kind of weather for the next 2 months because it will be a good condition for me to work at construction site. Lesser problems will happen only. During the afternoon, one of my seniors, a lady who works for contract department need to go up to level 7 to meet her colleagues for an inspection. Can you imagine that a women need to use a passenger hoist with other workers & squeeze like a tin sardine? Furthermore, can you imagine that most of the workers are pervert & see the senior like a wolf? It is quite dangerous for a women who works on the site. If can, it's better to find a person to accompany when a women want to the inspection. Nobody know what will happen next. I think I started to miss my study life. I felt so funny when I saw some of the juniors' posts on Facebook. They wrote about how good or bad is the subjects & lecturers. It reminds me back my time in university for the last 3 years. Complained this & that. But in the end, I managed to go it through happily & sad. And lastly, I don't like people who can't finish their task on time. Discipline is very important & need to train it since young. At my work place, without discipline will caused a chaotic situation at the site. People who without discipline will not be a successful person in the future. Do you agree with me?

Path to Hell? ;)

Mother's Day 2011

2011-05-08T22:49:00.004+08:00

Today I went out for whole day. From Kota Damansara to Sunway Giza to 1 Utama to Desa Aman Puri. I think I can't wait already. I bought a new camera due to my sister's old camera is spoilt & is for my internship purpose. Since last 3 weeks ago, I borrowed my supervisor's camera to capture the important pictures from the site until he can't use it for a while. I'm so bad. Actually, the main purpose for me to get a new camera is to capture ugly photos & pretty girls for my own collection. Do you believe it?

Meanwhile, during the dinner time at Desa Aman Puri, My family & I waited for an hour to get a table to eat while waited for another hour to wait for the food to come. In the end, I only used 40 minutes to finish my dinner. This restaurant is quite famous until a long queue is needed to order the food. The food is quite good but the waiting period is really tiring. Furthermore today weather is dry & hot. Anyway, it's a good experience for me because this is my first time to wait 2 hours++ for my food. And lastly, I would like to wish my mummy a Happy Mother's Day! I like my souvenirs! I hope she will maintain her good health~ Tomorrow need to work again. I hope it will be another good day~

Usually people only work half day on Saturday but for site construction, I need to work for full day. I had a chance to go with the management staff to do site inspection today. It was from level 25 to ground floor. It took 2 hours to finish the inspection. I learnt a lot from the managers on how they do inspection. But there were a lot of problems occur. When the Project Manager or in short form PM complains about the problems occur, his subordinates need to solve the problems as soon as possible before the PM explodes. For example, my supervisor which is the Assistant Project Manager need to solve a lot of problems. He looked so frust today. When he needs to solve it, I will be the next person need to assist him to solve the problems. I asked a question to my supervisor when I worked for the second week. I asked: Mr. XXX, did you apply for an extra staff to help you to execute the tasks from the HQ? He said yes. In my mind, I know that it is unfortunate for him to receive a new staff which is here for an internship, not for full time. Furthermore, I'm like a pure white paper without any experience on site. I heard from my unimates that usually the supervisors will get some allowance when they take interns under them for training. So, I think I should make my supervisor more headache~ Hahaha~ Just joking. He is a good man. I will do my best to complete my tasks that given by him.

Meanwhile, I was fortunate to ate free lunch from a sub-contractor. He treated all of the management staff for the lunch. I felt weird that why my seniors like to eat Steamed Fish Head?? I already ate for the third time on Saturdays. But I don't care, at least I can save my money. After the lunch, I went to do some inspection again. I saw the 'Gold' for the second time. What a good treatment after the lunch. The 'Gold' is situated on level 18. One higher level. I guess tomorrow there will be another 'Gold' on level 19. =.=

I thought tonight I can rest well while watching the television but I can't. I need to settle some of the extra curricular jobs from my university. I wish I can ask the general workers to help me to settle the jobs. LOL~ And lastly, to readers, if you are still studying, please enjoy your study while you can before you will regret when you are working in the future.

YES! For the first time, I was late for my work in the morning. But luckily, my supervisor didn't get angry & he even smiled at me & said is ok. Today weather is really hot but I like it. At least no flooded area that I need to walk through. I'm quite lucky today, I saw the first 'Gold' that somebody left on the construction area on level 17. I think that the worker left it on yesterday night when he couldn't find a suitable place to leave his 'Gold'. It is hard for me to ask the general workers to clean it up because the workers don't like to clean this 'Golds'. But what to do, they still need to do because this is one of their job to do housekeeping. Meanwhile, I chatted with an uncle who is a supervisor for a sub-contractor company. He told me that his company couldn't gain any profit from this project & they need to cover the losses of time & money to settle every single problems. I just know that sub-contractors only supply the man power while the main contractor supply the materials. That is why the sub-contractors couldn't get any profit at all. While waiting for my sister to fetch me, I went to KLCC to see the new opening of a Japanese apparel shop. I was surprised that many people were queuing to enter the shop. I didn't go in there because too may people grab here & there. It was looked so grand~

10 days without home cook~ I'm getting thinner & thinner but my weight still the same. Should I eat more or just maintain the way I eat??

5 May~ Double 5~ Actually Triple 5 including myself. In the morning, I saw the new apparel shop is preparing the opening outlet in KLCC tomorrow. They even built a stage for a fashion show.I think it will draw a big crowd tomorrow. Today is the first time I saw my supervisor fired a general worker due to his laziness until he caused my supervisor exploded. The most funniest thing was the worker's brother called my supervisor from Bangladesh & begged him not to fired him. Unfortunately, my supervisor keep his decision. It is reality. It is cause & effect (Sebab & Akibat) that I learnt it during my form 1 history subject. What have you done, you will get the consequences. People only keep the best for themselves only. They will get rid the things that does not give any benefit to them. Before I end my job today, suddenly one of my seniors asked me to teach Autocad to a new colleague. I was like.... I almost forgot everything. I didn't use Autocad for 2 years. I only teach him the very very basic on how to draw something on the software. I think I too helpful. I offered to lend my notes to him to learn about the software tomorrow. I hope do good deeds will increase my luck. It is important to practice any softwares event though you are not using it. so that next time when people ask, you will still know how to use & teach them... I had my dinner at Hakka Restaurant next to Pavilion. The food is nice & I surprised that a lot of foreigners like to go there & eat. Probably I will go there & eat again in the future. Yum Yum~

Just came back an hour ago. I worked over time again for the second day of my internship. So tired. The train is delayed again. This morning, I saw 1 of my unimates in LRT. What a coincidence. I think almost everyone including the sub-contractors quite surprised that I travel from my hometown to my workplace everyday by train. Today, I managed to borrow my supervisor's camera to take some photos on the last phase of construction for the steel & reinforced concrete. My supervisor even helped me to find some further information on the related matters even though in the course training, he just need to guide me on architecture parts. I think he is really kind although he always look angry on the sub-contractor & workers.

When almost the lunch time, I had an appointment with my junior to do my club's stuff. But suddenly, my supervisor told me that there is a lunch gathering at San Francisco Steakhouse for all the staff which is to celebrate one of my seniors who promoted as the Deputy Project Manager. It was quite hectic but in the end, I make it on time. The food is just average for me & the quantity is too few for me. I still prefer like to eat at Chili's Grill. I'm wondering whether my junior can handle an activity well or not. I hope that my junior can make it through just like when I organized it before. I believe that we need to face few times of failures before we will success in the future. After the lunch, my supervisor teach me on how to differentiate types of doors to install on each rooms. So many types that I need to remember including the measurements. @.@

Can you notice what happened on the Tower Crane Operator? LOL

Rain again~ It cause a major problem to the project. I already immune with it. Today, my supervisor told me that he is worrying about my visiting supervisor will comment that my supervisor didn't give more related things that I learn in university to me. He advised me to grab as much as I can from the project. Actually, I take a lot of copy on method of statements from the office. I hope it can help me when I'm doing my internship report soon. For the first time, the company sent a representative to the site to organize a training on Environment, Safety & Health Awareness on site construction. Even though it's simple but it's good for the staff because at least the training can update the newest information to the staff. I heard from my supervisor that the company usually will organize few trainings & I hope that I can join all during my internship time. During the lunch time, my supervisor asked me about my religion. I was like @.@ Actually today is the first day of the fourth month of Lunar Calendar. Usually people who are devoted to the religion will become vegetarian on the 1st & 15th Day. I just told him that my family is Buddhist but I... Then he said you are a free thinker? I just smile. After lunch, I chatted with one of my seniors. He advised me that after my graduation, I should go & work in consultant firm first. After few years later, then only work on construction site. I agree with his points.

While on my way back, I saw a lot of people cough sneeze. I was really angry to those who didn't cover their mouth & nose when they cough or sneeze. I wondering why they didn't learn the civilize manner? Are they like to spread the 'Loved Sense' through the cough & sneeze to everyone? I really wish that I can use my Ultimate Hand & give them a 'Love Slap' on their face.

I become a tour guide for one of friends who visited me at my hometown. I just realized that I'm not good in guide people for a tour & the place that I stay now doesn't have any best tourist attraction place & local products that people can buy. But I managed to bring my friend to eat the famous food next to my hometown. I hope my friend will satisfied with my tour guide today. Hahaha~

Meanwhile, I would like to write about the gadgets that a site engineer need to bring when they are going for an inspection after I worked on the site construction.

The gadgets that I suggested are as follow:

Pens (At least 3 colours: Blue, Black, Red; to differentiate which words are important)
Marker Pens (At least 2 colours: Blue, Red; to mark any points)
Notebook (Need to write what is important, problems)
Papers + Soft board (If you don't have any small notebook)
Walkie-talkie (Need to contact with the supervisor, workers)
Cellphone (Use to call people who without the walkie-talkie)
Highlighter (At least 4 colours: Yellow, Red, Green, Blue; to highlight something on the map)
Maps (To locate the area)
Camera (To take any photos on methods of works, problem, as a proof to shoot the sub-contractors & girls from the opposite hotel swimming pool XD)
Tape measure (To measure the anything)
Helmet (To protect your head)
Safety shoe ( To protect your feet)
CIDB Card (To show that you are qualified to enter the site construction)
Torchlight (To see the dark site clearly)
And Lastly, your mind + courage. (You need to face the workers everyday & need to know how to solve any problems quickly. Time will not waiting for you)

If got any other gadgets or equipments that the readers have in your mind, please suggest it here. Thanks.

Osama Bin Laden just died. Will the world peace again without terrorism? Who knows?

Labour Day 2011

2011-05-01T23:35:00.005+08:00

Today is a day to celebrate the economic and social achievements of workers. I just realized that actually Labour Day is to commemorate the 'eight hour day' which includes the eight hours of work, eight hours of recreation & lastly eight hours of rest. It's not just a normal holiday. As usual, I woke up early automatically. I thought I can sleep until 12pm today but I can't. Home alone. I need to do the housework. I didn't go out this afternoon due to laziness. Actually I want to watch few movies but I didn't go for it due to laziness. I managed to watch the royal wedding through Youtube. I just know that the wedding need to use around 20 million pound. It's really a huge amount that I can use the money to spend for whole life. I hope they won't get separate. If not, the money that they spend for the wedding will be a huge waste.

I just came back from a friend's girlfriend 21st birthday party. I lost for an hour to find her house. I used the Google map to locate her house. As a lesson, do not trust Google map easily because sometimes it will lead you to a wrong place. One of my friends who from taekwondo asked me just now that why I didn't bring my girlfriend for the party since almost everyone bring their partner. I felt the question is so funny. I don't know how to answer it. Sometimes, I feel jealous when I see couples so close together & I feel like a lone ranger but sometimes I feel lucky because I'm still single & no need to worry too much about another person. So, it's quite balance now. The main thing I need to focus now is my studies. After that is my career. When I have secure my career position, then I only focus on my future relationship. I used to joke that probably I will get marry by 40 years old. Who knows? It depends.

Tomorrow will be another break day. I wish to have a job like Ben Southall, he got the best job in the world~

I already passed my 1st month of internship. How I feel? I feel I'm getting older but I still strong. I didn't get sick during my work time. I hope I will keep this momentum. Today, for the first time, my supervisor late for work because he was working overtime yesterday night. I think he really needs a long break. I felt so tired today. I just slept for 2 hours ++ this morning & need to worked for 8 hours. Luckily, I didn't fall from highest floor when I do inspection today. To readers, if you are working, you need to sleep at least 6 hours to gain back your energy for the next day. If not, your name will be on the main news on the next day. Meanwhile, today is the last for 2 of my colleagues to work at there. I wish them all the best in the future. At noon, almost all of the staff including myself went to a Thai Restaurant to give a farewell lunch for a consultant. The food looked nice but it was too spicy. The interaction between the seniors & myself are getting better. I was surprised again that the company's social club is organizing a movie time for the staff & it is free. I was delighted & will join them to watch the movie soon on next month. After lunch, I felt so lazy to go up again. I was too full. I just stayed in the office & read the method of statements on how to build & maintain the RC, Steel, Wall, Touch-up, etc~

While on my way from Pasar Seni LRT Station to KL KTM Station, there was a old lady passed by. Suddenly, she approached me & asked: Can you lend me RM2? I was like?? But in the end, I didn't give her & I walked off quickly. I felt pity her for wondering around but at the same time I need to protect myself. KL is not a very safe city especially at the Pasar Seni area. If the old lady really needs help, she should find police nearby. But there are a lot of swindlers from young to old people. Becareful~ Be smart & cautious all the time~

Tomorrow is Labour Day. I think Everyone who is working will be very happy & will rest or enjoy for a whole day. The good news is next Monday is also a holiday due to the replacement of the public holiday which falls on Sunday. But at my workplace, some of my seniors need to work. But I think they will get extra allowance. Anyway, I would like to wish Happy Labour Day! Enjoy~

Just came back from a gathering. It was tiring but it a good time to know that my unimates are still alive. I missed the royal wedding live on television due to work. I hope I can watch it back soon. About my works today, still the same. I was inspecting the riser part again with my senior from Mechanical & Electrical Department. He gave me a lot of useful advice about the site construction. I like one of his quote: A site construction do not has any problem it's not a site construction. As an engineer, we need to know how to solve a problem in any form. I really don't like rain nowadays even though it's chilling. The rain caused leakage. The leakage caused each floors flooded. The flood caused my pants wet. It's hard to clean the cement stain on my pants. Doom~ I haven't sleep. Later need to wake up early again~ I can't wait for the holiday!

For the first time, I attended the staff meeting. I felt so scared because everyone were in serious look. Although I attended a lot of meetings during my studies time but here is totally different. When you say or decide something, you can't take it back. Need to becareful when you decide any decision. One Mistake will cause a Disastrous problem~ Now I know why sometimes my supervisor get so hot when he faced the problems. I managed to get feel & almost want to explode when the sub-contractors didn't do their task well. Really headache. This is one of the reasons why they project is delay. Meanwhile, I was surprised that one of the general workers know how to speak in English. Unfortunately, his boss changed his job from a passenger hoist operator become a general worker due to his laziness. I think a lot of people still don't know what time I wake up & what time I reach back to my house. Usually, I will wake up around 5.20am while the earliest time I will reach back home around 7.15pm. The latest time is 9.30pm if I work overtime. To readers, do not think that working is easy. Appreciate your studies time or holiday well. If you have a wife & children, it's better do not work on construction site unless your family understand your situation or you really need more money. I'm still thinking of should I continue to work in this industry after my graduation or not.

While I was waiting for the train at the station, next to me was an uncle chatted with a young girl. Suddenly, the uncle accidentally touch my back when he changed his sitting position. He apologized & checked on my uniform which school I'm studying. He chatted with the girl about the importance of Chinese Language. I was like @.@ Before he boarded the train, he asked me to take care of the young girl~ I was like double @.@ But it was funny~ Haha~

I didn't go & inspect all of the walls so early. I used the early morning time to finish my tabulation reports for 23 days. Even my seniors teased me that I'm doing a clerk works today. =.=My supervisor is right. Actually no need to inspect each floors so many times in a day. Just go & inspect 1 time is enough. Last time, I used to inspect twice in the morning & twice in the afternoon. How stupid am I~~ During the sub-contractors' meeting time, I saw my supervisor quarreled with the sub-contractors. It was like a war. I even can smell the 'Charcoals' were burning. Meanwhile, I saw the sub-contractors back stabbed their own colleagues. This is the reality. I learnt that sometimes we need to be selfish & smart to protect ourselves. If not, people will take advantage from you.

After my work, I went to SP with my sis. I saw so many teenagers at there. I was wondering why got so many people on Wednesday. It has been a month I didn't take my time for a walk. I thought I can meet my unimates at there but due to time constraint, we didn't meet up. Actually I want to ask about the work life in headquarters. Nowadays, there are a lot of franchise dessert shops in Klang Valley. People are willing to go there & buy the dessert to eat. Even though it's really sweet but it is one of the good tool to make you happy. About dessert, I really miss her~~

There were a lot of problems occurred. The sub-contractor who in-charge for the wall didn't do their job well. So many hollow parts in the wall until I also fed up to check. I saw a lot of my seniors were rushing with their tasks. This is because the next 2 days, the managing director of the company will visit the site. And for the first time, my supervisor was very angry when he was talking with the sub-contractor's supervisor by phone. He was shouting on the phone until I got my goosebumps. This is the real scenario of a site construction. There will be a lot of quarrels happen. Working on the site will be very tension too. 1 person need to do multi-tasks. I managed to feel the real multitasking today. I need to do more than 3 tasks at one time. Check the quality of the wall, supervise the workers to do the repair works, check men power for 24 floors & need to finish my paper works. Time management is really important. And sometimes, need to be prepare with last minute job, need to be patience with all of the situation & need to think calm to solve the problems. During the lunch time, I saw an ex-student from my university at a food court. He also work on site, opposite of my working place even though he is a mechanical student. He told me that when I graduate, better don't work on site construction. I was like.. LOL

I thought bring my work back home, I can do it immediately but I didn't. I'm too tired. Watch TV & Online better. I miss my study life~

The 4th week of my internship just started. Today my supervisor assigned me another task. Need to help him to inspect the riser wall for 1 floor. As usual, it took me more than 2 hours to settle the inspection. I need to be strict when I check all of the walls even though the sub-contractor gave a lot of excuses & denied there is something wrong on the wall. My supervisor told me that it depends on myself, whether to agree the contractors or stand on my own decision. Meanwhile, there is a sub-contractor told me about the 'Real' world of construction. It's about the the way contractors bribe the consultants or simply say corruption. Actually, my lecturer in university told to my class before about this matter. The sub-contractor even told me about the way to bribe the contractors. Furthermore, he told me that the contractors want to bribe the consultants because they hope that during the inspection time, the consultants will not inspect thoroughly.

Now I understand why the university want to force the students to study the engineering ethics before they graduate. Based on my 3 weeks in the construction works, I learnt that I need to be think smart & fast to survive in the working environment. If you are not smart enough, you will be lose in the battle during the meetings or any arguments with your colleagues or the sub-contractors. Face the reality. Life is not fair. Life is cruel. See how smart & strong are you to survive in this kind of environment. I'm on my way~

While I was waiting for my sister to fetch me back home, I read an article from a newspaper about the gender. To my surprise, a men who married his wife for 20 years++ & had a son, just noticed that his wife is a guy too~ LOL~ For those who are getting marry, please check your partner's gender before you marry. If not, you will regret~ ;)

Love & Lonely?

2011-04-24T16:55:00.004+08:00

This morning, I read an article from a local newspaper. It's about the people who are in relationship faced loneliness. To my surprise, the author wrote that people who are married seem to suffer more loneliness than people who are still single. Do you agree with the author? The author even wrote that there is a researcher noted that feeling lonely may induce some health risks which are:

Increase in blood pressure
Increase in the level of stress & cortisol production
Negative impact on your immune system
Increase level of depression & anxiety
Increase in craving comfort foods or highly processed carbohydrates
Increase in calorie consumption
Increase in alcohol consumption & drug use
Sleepless nights

Wow~ I agree with the researcher. I'm wondering how I can stand by myself alone. In my opinion, there are many ways to get rid of loneliness. It depends on that person to think positively or continue to depress & feel lonely. If they are still continuing to depress, then they will think that they are useless & want to end their own lives. Family & Friend supports are really important. But the main thing is about yourself. Think carefully before you act something~

I would like to wish Happy Easter Day to those who celebrating it. I'm still miss 'her'~ 1 month didn't eat her~~

P/S: This is my 101 posts~ WoW~

I didn't feel so tired today. Maybe because today is Saturday. This morning, I continue to assist my senior to inspect the quality of the wall. Still the same, 1 floor for 2 hours. When I finished, it's already lunch hour. I went back to the office. Most of them are not there. I envy some of them who work for support department. They only need to work for half day. Ate alone in the food court. Very few people dine in there. Very quiet. After lunch, only 2 people in the office. I took this chance to use my supervisor's laptop. He told me that I can use his to see some of the project files when I'm free. But I didn't do that. I used it to surf internet~ Hahaha~ Meanwhile, 1 of my seniors was almost rob by a motorcyclist just in front of my workplace main gate. Luckily, my senior is not injure. But his gold necklace was broken. I think next time, it's better wear as simple or lousy as you can & don't wear jeweleries on normal day except if there is an occasion or a function. Becareful everyone including guys~

My supervisor & other seniors came back around 2.30pm++ Wow~ They really enjoy the break time. My supervisor really fulfill his promise. He gave me a big task which I need to compile all of the 5 sub-contractors' man power. And the due date is on next week. I was like.. 'Thanks!' Had a chit chat time with him when we inspected the room. The room is really nice. I joke with him whether I can stay overnight in the room. He told me that he slept there once. He asked me not to tell everyone. What a joke~ Hahaha~ 3 weeks done, 9 weeks to go. What should I do tomorrow? Sleep for a whole day? I don't think I can. I'm still considering whether I want to extend it or not. Should I? Or shouldn't I?
