Things happen when all the conditions are ready.
Things end well when all the conditions cease.
When all the conditions are ready, everything goes smoothly.
When all the conditions are not ready, everything fails.

We are happy when we get something and unhappy when we lose something. However, we can never tell whether it is lucky or unlucky when something bad happened. There's a Chinese saying that "Even if we lose the west side in a war, we may still win the east side in another battle." The feeling of possessing and losing are conditioned. If something belong to me, there is no need to fight and compete with others. It will be mine eventually. If something is not mine, no mater how hard I try to get it, it will never be mine. Sometimes, it is hard to tell whether it is good to get something or it is bad to lose it. It all depends on the conditions. When you get somethings, you must take the most of it. You will find the thing you lost when all conditions are ready to arise.

Happy Lunar New Year and have a good year ahead!


P/S: Actually I don't know what I want now..

Early January 2013~

After the new year, few of my colleagues were talking about the annual bonus and salary increment. From their expression that I saw, I know that they feel dissatisfied with the reward that they received. I think all of the staff in the office were affected with the low increment and bonus. As for me, I do not have any comment about it because I am working in the company for few months only. I am still young and have to work hard so that I can gain some experiences that other people could not get it. I do agree that if we work in the engineering design industry, it takes time for us to climb up and success as a Professional Engineer. Unlike other industries such as finance, banking, construction, oil and gas, it will be easy for us to earn money but at the same time we have to sacrifice more energy and time for the job. I believe that every jobs have their own benefits and consequences. There is no easy or fast track to success, unless you are very smart enough to play and cheat. Interest & patience are the main keys for us to survive in a work place. Without these two, I think it is better for you to think back whether you can continue to work or not. Meanwhile, in the office, some of  my colleagues started to ask about my relationship status and they were shocked that I am single for more than 20 years. I do not know why they shocked but I hope that they would not think that I am a gay~ HAHA~ Although sometimes I feel lonely but I am happy with my current situation. No need to worry too much and I can do what I want without any restriction. As for now, my priority to focus on my career. My project is entering the final stage fo design and it is getting tougher. It is not easy for me to coordinate all of the disciplines and discuss together. It is like handling a bunch of kids in a classroom. Everyone is protecting their own interest. Furthermore, the client is getting more aggressive and push the designers until near to the edge of the cliff. For your own safety, it is better not to give your personal mobile phone number to your clients and just give your office number. If not, you will face a big problem which is to answer your client's call on everyday. I think I'm getting more lazy, lazy to go out and prefer to stay home and hibernate. Due to this, my weight is increasing. This is not really good when I am going to meet my Aki Nabalu soon. Haha. Before I end my post today, I would like to wish readers a Happy Pongal and I hope it will be a great year ahead!

Where there is desire there is gonna be a flame. 
Where there is a flame someone's bound to get burned.
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die. 
You've gotta get up an try try try~
Gotta get up and try try try~

Happy New Year 2013~

Happy New Year 2013 to my Readers!

I believe that you have a great countdown on yesterday night and I hope you have a wonderful year ahead!

Yesterday, when I looked back the pictures on my Facebook, I felt like I miss my 2012 year so much,  from happy to sad, pain to pleasure. It is not easy to went through all of the obstacles by myself. Without from the supports from my beloved ones and my own determination, I think I will not become what I am today. 

Officially 2013 had begun and I have few new year resolutions need to be achieve. I know it will be very hard for me to achieve it in a year but I will do my best to make it happen.

I found you~

Year's end is neither an end nor beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us~

Summer Ends~

I abandoned my blog for a long time and today, I just want to write about my expression on few things that I faced on last month.

I made a drastic decision that it will change my future. I am not sure it is right or wrong. 

More works need to be done when I work longer. 

Disappointed with those who are not responsible for their actions.

Disrespect those who didn't reply my messages or emails.

Feel so pain not only to the fleshes but through the soul. 

It's hard to find a real friend, to share your expressions or problems. Maybe I feel insecure to tell  them or think that they are insincere and not reliable to keep my secrets. 

People will take for granted no matter how good they are. Everyone have their own poker face. 

Jealousy grows stronger whenever I walk in a mall.

Fall in love is easy but to express the love need to have a huge courage.

Maintain a relationship, need to sacrifice something. 

Summer ends, Autumn is coming.
Stay strong and the future will be better~

Selamat Hari Raya to my readers and hope you an enjoyable holiday on this weekend!

Best of Luck~

We are going to step in to a new path. 

During the study time, we can make mistakes and try to re correct back. But during at work, we need to be cautious enough on what we are doing. A mistake that you done during your work time may lead in to a disaster life for yourself.

To those who are still studying, you should enjoy your study life as much as you can because once you start to work, Hahaha~ 

I would like to wish Good Luck to my friends who will be going to start their first real job soon! 

Don't worry, we have to face a lot of work problems. Just treat the problems as your challenge or a training to make you become a successful person.

Take care~ :D

I hope this song will reminds us that tonight is our last day of enjoyment and we will that 'We Are Young'~

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~

200th Post @ 3rd Anniversary of aMiR's BloG

My blog already reached 200th post and it seems like I have a lot of things to write for the past 3 years. I was started to write a blog when I worked in a bookstore in KLCC on 2008, to express about my working experience at there on Friendster Blog. After that, I changed to Blogger to write my blog because Blogger is much more easier to use. If I still continue to write my blog on Friendster, I think all of the posts will gone because Friendster terminated their blog function. Luckily~ When I read back my old posts, I felt so funny about myself and I saw I changed a lot. There are few reasons why I like to write blog: to share my experience with others, to express or give some opinions, to improve my writings and to keep some of memories so that when I am free, I can read and remember what have I done. A lot of my friends asked me about why I put the name of 'aMiR' on my blog, instead of using my own name and I promised them that I will explain on why I use it on my 200th post. The first reason is simple, I do not want to use my own name on the blog. Second reason is the name of 'aMiR' is given by one of my classmates during the secondary school time. I asked her what is the suitable Malay name for me. She told me that 'aMiR' is suitable for me because I always looked like a leader. =.= Maybe I am tall and my voice is too loud. But I like the name. According to Wikipedia, Amir means a commander, general, or prince, is a title of high office used throughout the Muslim world. I didn't use my English name for the blog because I prefer to use it privately. That is why I am using the current one. I hope my simple explanation will make the readers understand.

This week, I felt so pressure. A lot of things need to be done especially the Integrated Design Project. Need to do a lot of pre-planning and to monitor my group members' work of progress. It is a good training and I hope that with this experience, I can work well in the future. My classmate told to me that we just have 2 months left to study. This 2 months will be the critical months for me to complete my studies. I pray that my classmates & I can go it through well. I am quite nervous to graduate soon.

I will write more posts on my blog if I am free.

Happy 3rd Birthday to my blog, aMiR!

P/S: I like number '3'

Valentine's Day 2012

Last week was a terrific week for me. Too many things need to be done. Felt heartache when I need to do the works. Slept less than 5 hours to rushed the works. I hope it will be alright soon.

For today's post, I would like to share something that I haven't reveal it before to the public. Even my friends didn't know about it. It's about my life on love affairs. How should I write... There were few girls that I admired since secondary school until university. During my form 5, there was a girl I admired. But because it is near to SPM, I do not have the courage to ask her for a date and worried that I could not handle my exams well. So, I gave up. Then I continued my study in a college, which a lot of Chinese girls study at there. As many people say: 'If you cannot find a boy/girlfriend in your secondary school, don't worry. You can find a boy/girlfriend during your college time". Hahaha. I saw a lot of guys were rushing to find a girlfriend and same goes to the girls. Its like a 'War of Love'~ I saw 3 guys chase the same girl or 4 girls chase the same guy. Haha~ As for me, same reasons. Admired a girl but I don't have the courage, shy. I am a coward and in the end, a guy managed to grab her. Too bad~ When I came to university to study, I realized that not many women study in the campus. Habis~ Furthermore, most of the pretty girls already grabbed by the seniors before I came in. No luck~ There were few girls that I admired but I have decided not to go for it. Wasted the chance again. Now, I marry to myself, having a single life~

A lot of people thought that I had a girlfriend before. But due to lack of confidence and courage, I am still single until now. I do not know how to express my feelings to a girl. I always use excuses such as studies, no money, no time to avoid myself to get a girlfriend. Sometimes I felt regret why I didn't take an action on the girl that I admired, especially during my college time. I wasted the chance. But I believe that my fate to have a partner will come, although I don't know when is it.

I think this is not my style to write about something that I feel shy at here. Anyway, I would like to wish a Happy Valentine's Day to those who are in relationship and to those who are single including myself, hope today will be a good day for us!

A Great Song from her, I Will Always Love you~

Chap Goh Meh 2012

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?

Happy Chinese New Year 2012!

I would like to wish all of my readers here a Happy Lunar New Year!

May this Dragon year brings happiness and prosperous to you and your family.

Drive safely when you are going back to the city. Remember your beloved ones~

To those who are in relationship, take this opportunity to spread your wings! Don't miss the chance~

1 week left before the last semester of my degree course starts. I can't wait for it!

Second Week of January 2012

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!

Happy New Year!

New Resolution?

New Life?

1 week left for the final exam.

Stay tune~ ;)

Seniors & Juniors?

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

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

Merry Christmas 2011

You better watch out,

You better not cry.

Better not pout,

I'm telling you why.

Final exam is coming to town~

He's making a list,

He's checking it twice.

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

Final exam is coming to town~~~

I would like to wish the readers a Merry Christmas!

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

Halloween Day 2011~

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

Happy Halloween~~

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

Dream Chaser~

Happy Deepavali 2011~

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

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

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

(Done by aMiR & Edited by YZ)

Thank you Master of Ceremony.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

中秋节快了 2011~

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

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

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

端午节

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~
