已经第二个星期了

考试完不久就开始了training.
开始第一天有点害怕. 怕自己什么都不会.
幸好我的supervisor很好.
虽然有点cool cool的样子但他很热心的教我们.
但过了一个星期, 我觉得training其实不是那么可怕,
可能我很幸运, 遇到这么好的supervisor吧.
无论是什么理由, 我没天都等待着新的一天.

Happy Labour's Day!!

For the first time I'm actually appreciating this holiday. I didn't know working is so tiring. Every morning I goes to work at 740am and reach back home at 630pm. After a nice cool shower and dinner it'll be already 9pm. Sitting down in front of my comp reading some articles or watching a movie then it'll be almost time for bed. 11pm I'm already yawning. I couldn't remember when i actually slept so early. But nowadays almost every night I'll be in bed by 12. Weekend was great. After 5 hard days, finally 2 days of break. Tomorrow's Labour Day, normally it's just another public holiday. But this time, it's an extra bonus holiday after long working hours. It's great to have a holiday. Can have a rest, too bad fri's not holiday, if not i can go back home M'cca.
Still though training is tiring but i'm still enjoying it ..

To all working people out there.
Happy Labour's Day.

Long journey ..

Fuh.. Tiring I was. Drove my way back to Penang last thursday. It was raining cats and dogs all the way after Ayer Keroh toll till about Shah Alam. I took off about 4pm. Due to the heavy rain i had to drive even slower to almost 60km/h.

No choice. Visual constraint, I could hardly see the car in front of me. There was even once a splash of water from the car in front on my windscreen totally blinded my sight for a few seconds. I was really scared, don't know if i should slow down or continue at the same speed. I was worried the car in front of me might slow down. At the same time i'm worried about the car behind of me who would have a few secs of blinded sight who might come knocking at my back. Luckily nothing happen. Safely. Continued my journey all the way till Tapah R&R for dinner and a break.
Then the journey continues, slow and steady since it was already dark and going up and down hills. Finally reached back to campus at about 2200hrs. Packed all my stuffs and headed to island. Reached there already pass midnight. Slept for few hours and got ready for another expedition..
...to be continued....

It has Begun...

Today was the first day of me stepping into Dufu, where I'll be spending my 2 months holiday.
Woke up about 645 today, quickly got myself prepared for a long day. By 7.45am Ryan n I reached the company. It's very normal being early on the first day. Hehe. But I think even for the following days we still need to be early, as we need to scan our fingerprint for attendance every morning. 8am to 6pm daily, five days week, luckily.

We met 2 more coursemates there but they'll be working in another dept. We were given briefing and a little orientation by Mr Khairul, one of the HR officer about everything we need to know, from the company's background to rules and regulations to be followed. We were given a ear plug, to protect our ears as we'll be working in noisy environment.

Next we met our Supervisor, FT Tan, a very nice guy indeed. Briefed us on our work schedule and brought us around the plant. We'll be attached to the autolathes dept. We were given our first task to sort out some products and to separate those rejected. Really strained my eyes on that. Luckily it wasn't that much. Then we learn a little of doing more inspections, checking dimensions, micrometer, drop gauge and profiling.

Lunch time was long waited. Took our lunch in the canteen, luckily not too pricey. Took a little break before heading back to work. After lunch was lots of readings. Manuals after manuals. We read on how to use a CNC lathe. And more on the programming part using G-codes. It was really hard struggling through that. Really got us sleepy. Trying hard to keep awake. -_-
After a long day, time to go back was the best time of all. Hehe. Here I am now enjoying a little rest at home. But there's still report to do. Maybe just postpone it first.

*too bad no photos allowed*

...the end and the beginning..

Just when i thought i could put down everything and have a nice holiday after my hectic semester and exams, I found out that i've new worries and things to attend to. The major one was definitely Industrial Training. Well, time flies when i still remember during first year when we went to the IT exhibition by those seniors back then, now I'll be the one in their position and would be the one presenting it to fellow juniors in the next semester. Everyone got dispersed mostly back to their hometown as the could have more time at home and can save a little more. I have no idea how i ended up in Penang, but it okay for me. At least i have some friends around and also Agnes. As for her she'd be starting work soon in Penang too. ^_^

Well, back to my industrial training. I have a colleague at least, Ryan. Hehe. At least i need not be alone. We'll be working in Industries Sdn Bhd. I don't really know what it does actually, something like precision machining. But definitely nothing related to making tofu, yong tau foo or anything close. Anyway, some seniors was saying that we'd be working like technicians. In my mind I was thinking er.. ok i guess that sounds reasonable, what else do you expect to do, sitting around like a boss? at least it's better than serving coffee and photostating documents. Well i better not say anymore. It's sort of like a curse, the more you think will not happen will actually happen. Hehe. I wouldn't mind though for the part being the boss.

my soon to be training company

To all my fellow friends out there having their training too, good luck and all the best, Enjoy your training and learn as much as you can.

Home Sweet Home..

Finally, everything's over.And i'm back home.Glad, yet there are more to come. I haven't been online since ages. At least about a month or so. Fine to some of you that may not be long. But it's been a long long time for me. Cos i don't have my comp with me. But i'm glad it wasn't with me anyway or else i'd spend time there and less time on other stuffs. Even without comp i'm choking up my throat, i couldn't imagine the consequences having my comp with me.
I guess this was the busiest and fastest sem i'd been through. Seriously busy. Firstly, assignments and homeworks, tests, and quizes are unavoidable. Then I even stick my nose into the Robocon team. Though i may have insufficient time on my studies but i think the experiences gained from Robocon was equally as valuable. Joining robocon was very fun at first, building up robots, making it move, doing task, but it's also brings headaches every now and then. Sad to say we didn't do good in the competition. There was chances of winning but lady luck just wasn't with us. But anyway we learned lots of stuff and went round surveying other top seated teams, they were just fantastic and great. Lots of them actually spend lots of time and effort on it. Therefore nothing much for me to complain since we just did it in about a month whereas they did that since the last holiday. P/s I enjoyed the 6D 6N stay hehe. first nite in IOI Palm Garden Resort and the following few in Prescott Kajang. A great holiday indeed. *grins*

After back from a week of holiday then it's a week of hectic life. As it's study week a week then exam week. My schedule was super tight. Mon to Thurs a paper each day and followed by the last one on the following mon. And in during the one week study week i need to study one whole semester of work which lots of them i've been missing out partly due to robocon. But choices i have none but to study as much as i could as fast as i could. Day and night, studies studies studies. Nothing else. On exam week was worst. Morning paper, then after lunch immediately rush to library and started studying till about midnight, sleep wake up early revise,and back to exam hall. Repeated for 4 times. Almost lost sense of life. Working like a machine.

That ended 2 days ago. Immediately after my last paper, started packing up. And took a bus home on that night. And Home Sweet Home. Just in time for a public holiday. Malacca Historical Day.

Mechanical PrOm NiTe?

Not until that glamarous but i guess it was real good effort of the organizers in trying their best to organise this event. This was the first year after my three years in campus, had our First Nite. After hearing from other campus mates having their own nite, seems nice but never had one of our own right till this year. So a round of applause for the organisers. *clap*clap* Though there's been lots of misunderstanding, miscommunication,and lots of problems in between but it was really great to see the crowd at that night. Everyone really gave their support. *clap for everyone* one for me *clap* A little in organised as this is the first time, so nobody would blame on anything, food was just ok for the price we pay i guess everything was fair as i didn't put my expectation too high on it. So it wasn't too bad. Well hope the following batch would be able to have this event again next year and do a better job. I'm looking towards 2nd Mechanical Nite 08/09

" First Nite"

SAy Cheeeeeeeeeeezzz!!

Family photo?? er.. no comment =X

My cheeks are tired

Us again :P

Sick

Yesterday, sickness struck me. The day before I had a little sorethroat. Then yesterday after coming back from squash. I felt my whole body being so heavy and energyless. It's not the usual tiredness after sports, it's sickness. I slept early, planned to wake up early too, but ended up slept the whole night through right till it's time for class. I had assignments and works to do but i really couldn't get myself together.

Today I felt my body aching all over. My body has been defeated by some bacteria or maybe virus. Went to class restless. My head spinning and my eyes just felt like popping out. I had quite a hard time eating lunch. Struggling but yet i still need food to be stronger and fight my body back. Here I am, trying to pass time a little in order not to end up sleeping too much. Miserable it is. I just can't wait to be back healthy and start kicking some SSS.

Laziness...

Gosh.. Time passes by real fast. I still remembered those lazy feeling haunting me during CNY and i think it's still there. This clearly showed from my SO OUTDATED blog. I better start bucking up, throw those feeling in to the garbage bag and start kicking things around. Before I start regretting for all the wasted time.

Indeed there's just lots to be done, especially when the exam's just round the corner. Lots of studies needs to be done. Assignments and projects to be completed as due date are getting near. Not forgetting robocon competition during this end of month. Time is running out.

Sigh.. anyway lots events passed and just wanna post up some or few.

KL International Forest Towerthon Challenge

3rd Feb 2008

Menara KL

An eventful run indeed. I've heard about the run before but I've never joined it before. So this year my dad said he'll be joining and so I happily ask him to register for me as well. Thinking of the race was really not easy.

I did train up a little. Run few lapse around the campus every now and then. The race starts with a run of approximately one kilometer uphill before climbing 2,058 steps to reach Tower Head 3 at 288 meter above ground level.

My dad and I went up the day before and stayed over at his friend's place. I woke about 6am, got everything ready for the race. One thing that interest me in this race was the computerized system. We were given a sort of chip like which is required to be tied to our shoe lace for computerized timing system. This was my first time using such stuff. In other races the time recording were usually done manually. It's somekind detector which the sensors at the starting point and finishing point will detect when passing by it.

Just before the race it started drizzling. The rain was getting heavier but the race still needs to carry on. The race started according to each category and each category was broken up into various groups of about 200 person pergroup in order to reduce the congestion in the tower.

It was my turn to be flagged off. Off I go, taking the first km on the road to the base of the tower slowly to save some energy. That first km wasn't as easy as it seems. I don't know why. Then reaching the tower, finally the real deal begins. It was quite narrow in there. It's the emergency stairs i guess which could at most fit 2 person in width. I started off slowly but towards the 6 floor I'm beginning to wear out. Well probably due to my larger mass, hence to move upwards with a bigger mass requires more energy. I started walking but walking fast. Counting the floors and the air gets thinner with lots of people in there fighting over it. Breathing gets tougher yet still needs to go on. I took a quick stop at water stations, grabbed some water, took in some fresh air and continued my way up. Counting the floors, and counting down the number of storeys to go. I'm hearing people shouting, indicating that I'm towards the end. Pushing and using up my last boost of energy and there I am. Finishing the race. Rested a while while waiting for my dad which was at flagged of after me to complete his race.

After that, we walk around the tower, the sight up there was pretty nice. It was my first time up the tower. For once I manage to see KLCC which was at par with me. Usually I sees it from below. After the race, we were given a finishing medal and a certificate of achievement. Hehe. The official time which I took to complete the race was 24min 24sec, whereas my dad was 23min 11sec.

The race wasn't as bad as I thought it would be cause the misery only lasted less than half an hour. Nice experience indeed and hope to participate again next year.

Oh we even took a photo from stall there which cost rm15 for a printed photo and photoshopped with a cd. I should have brought my cam along.

that's the one

GXFC !!!!!

I'm a little lazy and mostly busy doing all sorts of stuff but blogging. No matter what, I just wanna drop by my wishes to my friends and family wishing that this Rat year will bring a continuous flow of joy and laughter, good luck and fortune, prosperity and good health.

祝大家在新的一年里：事业正当午，身体壮如虎，金钱不胜数，干活不辛苦，悠闲像老鼠，浪漫似乐谱，快乐莫你属。

新年快乐, 万事如意, 学业进步...

Tomorrow night is the night!!

It's time. It's getting nearer and nearer. Counting down. My feelings of going back home is growing stronger and stronger. It's been quite a while since I've last went home. I really missed home. The last time I went back was during Christmas. Even that I was just home the weekend before and was back on Christmas eve. Should be about a month or so. Maybe to some others it's no big deal, some can even not go back for the whole semester. But not for me.

Due to this probably that's why I just don't have the mood for the past few days. Not forgetting assignments after assignments, homeworks, tutorials, TESTSSSS!!! and everything else. Today was the day that I've been longing to pass. Lectures, quiz, lab, and test which have officially ended at 9.30pm. The rest will be left for later. My mind is just thinking of going home tomorrow. Nothing else. Actually it's tonight. It's 10 pass midnight. Another step closer.

Talking back about my lab. ICE ( Internal Combustion Engine ) Performance. Quite excited with the lab though I wouldn't expect anything easy for the report. But not too bad I guess. Is it my interest in ICE ? Maybe a little. But definitely I'm not as autogeek as some of my friends. Could it be the lecturer who will be handling the lab? Well I would think that would come up to probably a 90% of the total reasons. Prof Horz's the man. Don't worry I'm straight. I wouldn't deny that I quite idolised him. A very knowledgeable man i would say. He maybe from mechanical engineering but he just seems to know almost everything in mechanical field ,even electrical, electronics, and programmings still nothing can be in his way. Anything about ICE is like simple math to him. Sometimes I wonder if i could actually catch up with him someday. Could it be the way how he was taught back in uni? Different edu system? I'm not sure, but definitely the way he does things differs from the norm and really impressed me at times.

"We don't need to read stacks of books and theories of dead people, All we need to learn is the least amount which would make us dangerous "

One of my favorite. It's true that he wouldn't tell long long stories of theories but instead he would make us think and use the knowledge to apply in our daily life. Lots of crazy ideas, but yet stunning. Serious? No way, not his personality. He's the only lecturer that would actually comes in his Hawaiian shirts, shorts and sandals. But if when serious business comes to play, then he'll come kicking your S for not doing your work. It's really nice working along with him. He could be crazier than us at most of the time.

One great shot says it all

Hopefully I'll have more time to be able to learn more from him. Looking forward...

I bought something for my dear!

I saw this thingy kinda interesting. It's kinda white, brown and pink. It makes noise. Hehe. Just to keep it a secret till you sees it. *giggles* It looks something like this...

Cute?

HaPi BiRtHdAy Jo!!

Happy Birthday

&

生日快乐!!!

To first of all, my little cousin sister Jodie !!
It's kinda belated already. But anyway, still I'd like to drop my birthday wishes to her although she's on the other end of the world. Hopefully she reads this. *smiles* Wishing her all the best in the coming years, be a good girl and less mischievous *giggles* and have a great time!

Next would definitely be my beloved sista Joelyn. Eager she is. She's been hinting all the way right from last year. Soon soon and now it's the time. It's your birthday ! You're being another year older. *giggle* Probably she's happy about it. Cause she's usually one year younger among her friends so i think it's quite a thing to celebrate when you're at par with ur peers. And no more be kiddie for a while. *Clap*Clap* for you then.
Anyway she'd her birthday bash already even though her birthday haven't reach. And purposely did it when i'm not around. Cunning of her. Afraid of me eating up all her food and being the spotlight of the night. How dare her!! hmm.. Just you wait till i'm back.
Hehe.. very well, I'm just crapping. Don't take it to seriously k. You know la, it's bad enough to miss ur party and have to stuck in campus miserably, yet still need to be your consultant with the cooking of those nice food.

Anyway, finally it has arrived. So start your counting for your next birthday next year k? Hehe.
Wish you all the best too. And study hard, play hard too but take care. Dun get too stressed up and relax girl. Hope you have a wonderful time and may all goes well for you in the near future. Hugs n Kisses XOXO !!
