Before I start my real job~

I took one month and a half for my holiday right after my final exam and it is going to end soon. Next Monday, I have to report duty for my first real job and I have a mixed feeling with it. I felt so excited but at the same time I am nervous because I still haven't know what is my scope of work yet. I just hope I manage to handle it. I spend my holiday moderately. Like normal a student, I went to the malls for window shopping, watch movie and met some of my old friends. It was good to meet them and know about their current status. Meanwhile, I had the opportunity to attend an interview in the Lion City but in the end I screwed it up. I am not ready to work in a foreign land yet. Maybe it takes some time for me to get the courage and explore to other world. I am grateful and would like to thank to my former housemate for letting me to stay in his house when I went for the interview. I believe that friendship is important and we should help our friends who is in need if we have the capability to do so. But we should not think to get some returns back from our friends when we help them. We need to be sincere when we help. Most of my friends have secured a job and keep asking me about it. Furthermore, they like to ask about the basic salary that offered by the company. For me, it is a sensitive question and we should not ask this question to our friends. I agree with my senior, who told me that we should not reveal our current salary not to our friends only, but also to our family members. Nowadays, people will get jealous easily and you will face a big trouble if they want to sabotage you. Like what I remember, "Silence is Golden~". Last two weeks, I went to Heart of Asia with my former classmates. It was a graduation trip for us before we start our first real job. We used 10 days to travel around the country. I felt the time is not enough for us to visit all the place that I wanted but it was a memorable trip because I managed to see and understand their culture. I was amazed with the system and technology that they are using today. They are more advanced  and the people are much more friendly than here. Some of my friends asked me to visit the 'Real' night life of the city at there. It's not the famous night markets, but it's the famous clubs at there. I know that there a lot of girls there to see but due to time constraint, I do not have time to visit the clubs and it is not cheap to visit those clubs. Furthermore, I only bring sufficient of money to travel and buy some souvenirs only. I think I have already my friends disappointed about it. Haha~ One of the most memorable incident that I will never forget during the trip is when I stayed in a hotel in Taichung. My friends and I were shocked when we heard a loud voice continuously from the next room. We heard  a couple was screaming all the while in the room for three hours. Oh yeah, the couple was doing something fishy in the room and only stay there for three hours. We realized that the hotel is a hot spot area for those who want to have an extra service during the typhoon time. We saw few couples went to the hotel and do the same fishy stuff at there. Furthermore, there is a machine vendor that sells those sex toys for the customer to use. And the most surprise thing, there is another machine vendor that sells condoms in each hotel rooms. What a joke for us~ =.=

The machine vendor that sells sex toy~

The condom machine vendor~

If I have the chance, I would like to visit there again in the future especially the Taroko National Park and the Yuli town. It is a nice place for leisure travel or retirement place to stay. After I came back from the trip, I went to my university back to visit my lecturers and juniors. I miss my university so much after I spend there for four years. Its like the same feeling when I leave my secondary school & college. I just regret that I didn't achieve something that I want during my university time. But never mind, I am still young in heart~ Haha~ I think that is all I want to write for today's post. I have to enjoy my last holiday before I start to work. I am not going to write my blog regularly like last time but I will try my best to keep my blog updated. Good luck to my former classmates who will be going to face the reality soon~ 

O Sole Mio~ A great song before I start to work~

Unofficially Graduated~

Finally, I am Unofficially Graduated after I submitted my Final Year Project Theses and the Integrated Design Project Report on last Wednesday. After the final exam on last week, I have to rushed my Integrated Design Project Final Report and I need to do my last presentation for it on last Monday. It was very rushed because some of my members submitted their works to me so late. But luckily, I manage to finish it on time. During the presentation, my group was examined by the Head of Civil Engineering Department. I was nervous & scared that when the HOD invigilates our presentation although this is not the first time I do my presentation in front of him. He asked a lot of technical questions that until I don't know how to answer it. I realized that even though we study for four years of degree but we are still have not master the basic knowledge yet. We usually memorize all of the formulae and not understand the principles of engineering. I hope those readers, especially the juniors, please understand the principles and not memorizing. The presentation lasted for 2 hours and I had backache due to stand for too long. The next day, I joined with my classmates to print our theses together. We managed to find a place to print it and it is quite cheap. Meanwhile, the printing price for the Integrated Design Project cost me a lot. Luckily, I managed to claim back the money from my group members. If not, I do not have enough money to go for my holiday trip in the future. I submitted my reports on last Wednesday and I unofficially graduated from my university. I did not feel happy like last time, when I finished my final exam or else. Instead, I felt empty and miss my study life. I realized that I study for 19 years since kindergarten until university. Some of my classmates asked me about should I continue for postgraduate studies. Haha~ If I study, then I have to study for another 2-4 years. I haven't decide my future path yet, whether to study or work. As for now, I would like to concentrate on my holiday first and I need to rest well before I start a new chapter of my life. My first holiday was a half day trip to Klang on last Thursday with my classmates. It was a good trip and I was lucky to visit Tanjung Harapan for the first time in my life. The trip ended with a visit at the I-City, a place that I think it is  a waste of electricity, although the developer told the public that they are using the LED lights which can save a lot of electricity. The price of the game rides are not cheap. The management should give a discount for Malaysian so that more local citizens can come for the rides. Same goes to the KLCC Sky Bridge, they should lower down the price for the locals. It is very expensive for those who cannot afford it to buy the ticket & visit the bridge. On last Friday, I was going for another interview and I almost late for it. I was so scared that I will give a bad impression to the interviewer. Luckily, I reached there on time and without hesitation, the interviewer gave a test for me. There were 10 questions of it and  need to answer it in 30 minutes. It was like a physic test and I almost forget all of the fundamentals. The interviewer checked my answer on the spot and after that he told me about his company profile. It was a good experience for me because each interviews have their own styles. Therefore, we need to prepare everything we can and be more confident during the interview. Last Sunday, I attended my good and old friend's wedding dinner. I know her since primary school and same school until secondary school. I was surprised to know that she is going to marry soon and she was the first person among my secondary school friends to get marry. I managed to meet some of my secondary school friends and know about their current lives. I am happy to see her get married and I wish her and her husband a wonderful marriage and get a dozen of children. Time flies fast. I was wondering when will be my turn to get marry? But I just realized that I am still single and I have to walk a long way before my time reach. Hahaha~ I think that's all I can share about what happened to me on last week. Enjoy the holiday first before start a new life~ ;)

So let mercy come and wash away~

Before & After Last Final Exam 2012

How do you feel when you finish your last final exam for your undergraduate studies?

I felt nothing even though I finished my last final exam on the second day of the exam week. It's looks weird for me. Usually when I finish my exams or tests, I will be very delighted and will go for a celebration with my coursemates. But this time is different. I have to continue to finish my Integrated Design Project after my final exam. Next week I will be going to face my final week in my university before I leave as an unofficial graduate. Currently I am still waiting for my group members to submit their final design report to me for checking & compilation before I submit it to the client. I do really hope that my group members will send it soon. Before the final exam, everyone was busy with their Final Year Project presentation, job interviews and the preparation of final exam. I was so tired when I faced these on last week. Rushed from a place to another place. I had my final presentation for my Final Year Project on last Friday and I was being asked thoroughly by the examiner about my project outcomes. It was a like facing a multiple shots from a person who use the M-16 rifle. But thanks to my supervisor who helped and backed me up during the presentation. I hope that I won't get a bad marks for my project. Meanwhile, I have checked my draft thesis with an anti-plagiarism software that currently use by my university recently and I satisfied with the result. Luckily I do not need to edit back my thesis so much. I had two days to do my revision before the final exam and it was quite last minute to do it. Furthermore, I do not have the study mood to revise all the notes and I always think about my holiday after my submission of my thesis. My target for the last final exam is to pass, not to score a good grades. Readers may think that I am give up or something else. Yes, I am and even some my coursemates think the same way. During my last final exam, I still can see some of the students were whispering each other. Really 'Respect' them on how to cheat during the exam time. I still don't know how to answer few questions for the papers although I am final year student. Hahaha. Lastly, one of my coursemates told me that I wasted many time for being serious all the time and I was like... Speechless... Maybe its due to my seriousness, he thinks that I am still single, no girls dare to come near to me, I don't like to approach girl or I am homosexual? Hahaha~

This song shows my current feeling~

13th Week of the Last Semester~

I am not going to write about what had I done on last week. Instead, I would like to write about what I felt. Last week, my temper is getting bad when I faced some of the challenges. Furthermore, I get a lot of pressures regarding on studies, projects and job applications/offers from my peers. Actually, I shouldn't treat these matters as my pressures because I am different from the others. But imagine when a whole group of people ask  the same questions to you that you don't like to answer it. Will you get frustrated? I am a person who does not like to tell too much about my things to other people including my best friend. Maybe the readers may think that I am a secretive person. Yes I am. I was betrayed by few friends that revealed my secrets to other people on last time. I do not trust people easily after that incident. From that moment, I seldom tell my real problems or share my secrets to my friends, including my best /good friends. Meanwhile, spreading rumour is not really good. Rumour is like a virus that may kill a person. I was being told by a friend that I got an offer for something. I felt weird about it and I asked him/her where he/she got the information. To my surprise, he/she told me that he/she know it from another friend where that friend know it from another friend who so called that will give me the offer. I didn't get any notice that I will get the offer and I categorized it as a rumour because there is no solid proof to shows that it is a true story. I agree with one of my lecturers who told me that as a future engineer, we need to analyze a problem with facts and figures and not with rumours. I think that is all I want to crap at here. 1 week left before the back to back final exam but I am still slacking. 

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few will be tried before you give them your confidence~

12th Week of the Last Semester

As usual, my pressure level is increasing when the due date for the project submission, test, presentation or final exam is coming soon. But most of my coursemates told me that I still look so calm and free from worries. Actually I do really worry about my projects, tests, exams and also my future path. Maybe it because I didn't show it too publicly and I keep it tightly, like I seal my secrets well. Last Monday, I was invited by a society to attend their last event of the year. When I compare their activities with my university, there are some difference and the main is formality. I think its due to the environment, my university is more keen to formality and protocol. Even one of the organizers told me that my university is too formal until need to stand when the national anthem and my university's song are played. I am not sure he/she is joking or insulting but I think when we are in an event, we need to be careful with the way we present ourselves. But I really thank to the organizers for inviting me and I think it will be the last student activity that I joined before I graduate. Meanwhile, my university's career unit organized a career fair for two days on last Tuesday. It was a smaller scale if compare to last year's career fair but some of the big companies come back again and support the fair. This time, I didn't join the fair as a volunteer because I am busy with my projects and I became a job-seeker instead. I saw a lot of students were applying oil and gas companies on that day. I think everyone is searching for a high pay salary job so that they can survive in an expensive society. As for now, I still haven't get any offer yet even though I applied some of the jobs since last month and I still continue to apply it. I am happy for my coursemates who secured their job but at the same time I start to worry about myself because I haven't get an  offer yet. Maybe the readers will think that it is too early for me to apply a job but I think it is not too early. Its really competitive nowadays, not easy to find a good job. I hope I can get it soon and I really dislike when my coursemates ask about my job application. Next week, I will be facing a test and a group project presentation and I am not ready yet. Next two weeks, I will be facing another group presentation and my final year project presentation. Next three weeks, I will be facing my final exam which will be held on the first and second day. Next four weeks, I have to submit my thesis and project reports. When the juniors asked me to describe about my final year, I told them that they will know it soon and asked them to enjoy while they can. I am not sure that my advice will frighten them or not but I think they will make it through.


The secret of success is learning how to use the pain & pleasure instead of having pain & pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you~

This song resembles my feeling now~

15th April 2012

How lucky I am just now. I was shocked when I heard a loud 'POP' sound in my room and suddenly there is no electricity. Initially I thought that no electricity for the whole building but I was wrong, my house is the only place does not have the electricity. It is not the first time for me to face this kind of situation in the hostel. I faced it before during my final exam time on last year. The room is so dark and I home alone I do not have a torchlight and I had to used my the light of my handphone to see the area and I still don't know how to use my it. When I wanted to go out to the office's notice board and get the technician's contact number, one of my housemates came back from his hometown. Luckily got a housemate to accompany with me for the dark time. Haha~ After half an hour later, the technician came and repaired the problem. He found out that my room's sockets got problem. Luckily I haven't take my bath and the weather is really hot although this evening the rain showered at my university. Today is the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of Titanic. A total of 1514 deaths and it still famous for it's sinking legacy. I would like to share a short clip on how the ship sank by James Cameron and his team rather than to share the famous song 'My Hearts Will Go On' to commemorate the anniversary, to let the readers understand how it sank.

New Computer-Generated Imaginary of how Titanic sank~

3 weeks left before the final exam starts. I only have 2 papers and I need to face it on the first and second day of the exam week. It is a 'Back to Back' exam~~

Need to plan the time well and

I believe that 'The Pain You Feel Today Will Be The Strength You Feel Tomorrow~'

Early April 2012

I would like to wish a Blessed Good Friday to my Christian friends and have a good Easter weekend!

Early this month, I was quite busy with my Integrated Design Project especially when I need to prepare and compile the materials for the client's meeting. It was quite last minute to received a notice for the meeting. But this is a real life. I need to be prepare what ever I face. About the meeting, the client was quite satisfied with my group works except a member. I tried my best to make sure that he do his works but sometimes he can gives me a pressure. I think the other group leaders will agree with my statement. I just hope that everything are in order. Recently, I have received a call from a company and the executive asked me whether I am interested to work with their company or not. Without hesitation, I agreed and sent my application letter & resume to her. And now, I hope they will ask me for an interview. But its still early, I still need to apply other companies so that I have a few choices to choose for my future. Nowadays, I am getting lazier despite busy with my projects. I didn't do my revision for the subjects that I taken. I just started to revise the notes 3 days before the mid term test. My mood of study is gone now. Maybe it is due to I am going to graduate soon. I am not the only person who feel that, some of my classmates feel that way too. I need to find my study mood back before the final exam. Yesterday, I took a test in the afternoon. I realized that my handwriting is getting worst like 'Chicken's Claw' (direct translation from Malay Language: Cakar Ayam). I hope that my lecturer will not deduct my marks due to my handwriting. During the test, I saw one of my classmates was cheating by copying the answer from her notes. She hided her notes under her answer booklet so that the lecturer couldn't notice it. I was wondering how she can get a high courage to copy. During evening time, I went to a hotel with my classmates for the last dinner before we graduate. It was a last minute planning and it is not easy to plan since everyone is busy with  their project. But in the end, it ended well. I saw them were enjoying. Gossiping here and there. No stress. After the dinner, we had our group photo session on a staircase. There was a tourist, who was walking down on the staircase. So sudden, she stopped and stand on a level of the staircase, called her friend to come down. My classmate asked her politely to excuse herself for us to take our group photo but she didn't leave and she  remains standing at there, interrupt our group photo taking. When her friend came down, she showed a 'Tiny Eyes' or 'Mata Sepet' look to us before she leave. All of us felt like: WHAT THE HELL??? Can she respect us? Even when we visit other countries, we still respect their people, cultures and rules. But they didn't. They came here to visit or study but didn't respect us. I think they should go back to their own motherland if they feel that here is not suitable for them to visit or study and the country will be more peaceful without their presence.  Please respect people so that they will respect you back. 6 weeks left and it will be the crucial weeks for me. I need to stay focus and keep a good health so that I can finish these 6 weeks well. 

A song that boost my spirit~ Don't give up~
