Paintball Fun!!

Seohli was recruiting ppl to go for paintball. I was hesitant at the beginning but after some thoughts I finally joined in. I wasn’t too sure of the location though seohli gave me the address there. I went over to the island before heading for paintball. I thought of probably meeting up with them somewhere along the Juru exit but somehow rather inconvenient. So o ended up wikimap the location and try my luck.

Permatang Tinggi

Wasn’t too bad though, get there based on the wikimap and when I’m almost there I saw banners of the paintball arena. I thought I lost my way when turning in to a narrow road which can only occupy a car at one time but glad I was when I saw the game field. I saw CS there being the first person and me being the 2nd person. While waiting for the rest I just stood by look around getting excited and can’t wait to play the game. It was something new for me though.

When the rest arrived we were all very excited to begin it. Before beginning, we actually need to fill in a form. Then seohli and choyyin busy were negotiating with the boss. He was quite a nice guy. The boss was quite firm with the price he offered. RM 280 for 2000 pellets. According to Pao whom I think was quite a frequent paintballer, said that the deal was pretty good. So we were satisfied and getting ready to start the action. 19 turned up including me. So seohli did her homework by dividing us into 4 teams. We were briefed a little on the safety of the games. We were provided with air guns, face mask, long sleeve army like shirts and vest for team recognition. We looked cool in those, but the smell was a little stinky.

There were few game fields there. One that we played has many obstacles like wood shelter, oil drums, trees which I think was pretty cool. We played among each team and tried our best to shoot the opponents down. It’s very exciting though as it’s real shooting and you will get shot unlike those in CS, where everything is virtual. Choyyin took me on the feet in the first game. *sob sob* So those got shot will need to move out of the field.

Another field is full of PVC type blown up tubes in various shapes and sizes. I find that field in harder and more challenging as you have less cover and more open to the opponent. So you really need to be good in shooting ppl down and prevent from being shot. Throughout the game Pao and Teng was really indeed very good shooters.
We finished our pellets but we still want for more. So another round of negotiating, purchased 1000 pellets and free 1000 pellets for birthday *kids*.

Towards the final game, everybody enter the field together. So it’s really madness with 20 person in it. Haha. Fun ! fun ! and lots of fun ! Shooting ppl is fun. Being shot is also fun. Haha. Some got shot on the head, on the face, arms, legs, and even close to *there* . That was close. I think the record holder for the receiving the most shot goes to Pao. He was like the undying Rambo always charge towards the enemy.

So all in we each had to pay RM 36 which I think wasn’t too expensive. After that we headed to Juru McD for dinner. Tired.

Guess who? should be an easy one. haha

Food, food and more food..

 I was picking up Agnes after work on saturday from her new work place in Pulau Tikus. Then we went for lunch at this shop nearby. I browse around for food available and one particular stall caught my attention. Roti Babi it states. Curious i was. It sounded so not halal. Probably it's just the word. Pork bun doesn't sounds that bad right? hmm.. But roti babi just give me a sight of a pig between breads. Eww. Anyway, we looked at the menu and decided to try it.

It turned out not too bad, sort off 2 pieces of bread sticked together with some fillings ( minced pork with carrot, etc )  in it, dipped in egg and deep fried. It has a variety of fillings on the menu, pork, sambal , cheese , etc.. On the average each cost bout rm2.50 each. Not too bad. 
That was side dish actually, I ordered a large spicy noodle. It tasted spicy. Just okay, but it really cost me quite a lot. rm4.50 for it. I'd prefer the "san wei mien" in nibong tebal which is larger, nicer, cheaper. Pretty much of the same.

Then in the afternoon, we went hanged around in Prangin Mall looking for a new pair of glasses which took us quite sometime before heading off to Queenbay for Dark Knight. Pretty cool movie. *clap clap* Watch it and you'll know it. 

We tried the always smells good tomyam which just makes you drool whenever you pass by the shop. It's somewhere on the 4th Fl if i'm not mistaken. And they serve steamboat and noodles. We ordered a tomyam maggi and a plate of rice with pieces of deep fried fish. The tomyam was okay but the rice is kinda weird especially sauce that comes with it. Tasted like diluted tomato sauce. But it goes well with the tomyam soup. They should serve it with the soup instead. Total cost rm15+

Gosh, I'm just eating and eating and eating, nothing else. I must start going for exercise. Anybody care for a jog?
Besides, money just flows out fast... I'm broke.. Still haven't buy my books yet. sigh.

Best Rojak In Town..

I was driving down to the penang island last friday with JC n XY, and we drop off Lian at butterworth as she's going to SP. After dropping Lian off, JC suggested that we go to try out a rojak nearby. So off we went.

I've tried quite a number of rojak from various places. But i think this is the most unique and unbeatable one. It has 2 stalls there selling the same type of rojak. The typical rojak that we eat are a plate of mixture of fruits or other stuffs with mouth watering rojak sauce covering it with some ground peanut on it. 

The one thing about this stall is that they provide unlimited amount of sauce. They serve by the satay celup style or more familiar to those from other places , Lok Lok style. They place a variety of fruits, yau char kuai, fishballs, quill eggs and sotongs. You can select at your own liking. Next we have 2 bowls of rojak sauce, spicy and non-spicy. The kind lady even added on lots of ground peanuts in them for us. The taste of fishballs covered with rojak sauce all around is just superb. That's what I call the best rojak. Pretty much of the stuff goes along well. I ended up eating almost 10 sticks of them. Each cost 40cents , even a small cup of liong fun after that also just cost the same. 

Bout RM4 for the best rojak is definitely worthwhile.

isn't it just mouth watering?

Tao, Juru

Tao, a familiar place, but not so familiar. It's my second time there so i could roughly imagine what to expect ( food wise ) This time we had about 15 of us so we could actually order more stuff and more variety of it. So the whole night was like Food , Food, and more Food and even more Food!! I was stuffed up to my throat by the end of the day. I think for a big group outing it's quite a fun place but not for a 2 person outing ( if u know what i meant, *grins* ).
We reached about 6. Maybe earlier. Started ordering like there's no tomorrow. The food this time actually came faster than our mouth could handle. But we still manage to keep up to the pace. Haha.
*In the manager's mind : Damn, we are sure getting a huge loss tonight. *

I skipped a little on the food part which Choyyin had put up on her blog.
*it's time for me to change a camera*

Discussing over *seriously* how to eat the amount worth.


In between commercial break, Cheezzz


Evil grins, wonder what in his mind

Gosh, what were they up to? Can i have a peek too?
sorry i hadn't had time to photoshop it. so just assume the boxes are *there* la.

After eating, definitely it's time to take a nap. Zzz...


I wonder what have they captured?

Final Year Project!!

Well i've just read up choyýin's complaints and worries about FYP. I guess everybody's worrying about it which includes me. Some people trying to implement some online system and making us their white mice. I think this shouldn't be the way. Previously topics were selected by students and they can approach the lecturers and consult them about the topics and so on. I think that would enable us to actually have more understanding of what we will be doing for the coming 2 semester. HELLO!! this is final year project which is onsidered the most important project throughout our 4 years of studies in the university not any minor assignment or project. Why put our FYP at stake to test on their *sure to fail system*?
Their reason is that students would tend to choose lecturers rather than topics of their choice. Well i think this shows that students are smart enough to worry of themselves and choose wisely. Besides if all the lecturers were good enough there wouldn't be such problem occuring. And they are doing the selection by pointer priority which the student with the best pointer gets the first priority. Piece of crap i would say. However what's been arranged by the school, we'll still need to follow. Just hope for the best. I wish everybody the best too.

Pure boring..

It's been almost 24 hours since i'm back from malacca. Got stuck back in this campus. Gotta take a morning bus back as i din't manage to purchase any night tickets. So here i am back early. One thing i dun really like about taking morning bus is that it's very hard to sleep. though i slept most of my way but still i was awaken a few times. Unlike night buses which i can really sleep from the moment i step into the bus right up till the parit buntar bus station. Anyway this time wasn't as bad as the previous time which took a very much longer time as the bus stop for a very long time in kl. (bad experience, Only take the normal buses KKKL)
My trip back home got me a short break and shifted some stuff back which includes a cupboard and an iron both for agnes' usage in her newly shifted place. One thing that din't come back with me is my dear lappy. I sent it for servicing but (they are very slow in doing their job) I can only get it back on mon. Luckily i had Ryan helping me to transport it back. Else i'll be more miserable till the next time i go back home.
Life without my lappy is horrible especially when the first thing i need to do when i came back was to register online for my final year project. Then i need to print lots of stuffs, search for online resources, notes, and not forgetting as entertainment, watch movie, chatting and blogging. I need to last till Ryan's back. Counting down...
Luckily ... i still have my mobile with me. I can go 3g. though the connection a little slow but still i manage to do some of my stuff online( most importantly registration). However i'll be stopping the service soon as it's a little expensive to maintain since i already have internet service in my room.
Can't wait to have my lappy back..

Back in SH3052

I kinda miss the house i stayed in penang during training. It not may not be big ( 2 rooms ) but it feels cosy and comfortable. It's quite fully equipped, has sofa, tv and an aquarium too. Hehe. Feels just like home.

Morning view from my window there

Now I'm back in my 3person room hostel. which still looks the same as 4person room. Don't know what's the point of it. Probably so they can charge you more. I'm staying at the ground floor though. I'm worried of ppl coming in grabbing stuff and also not forgetting *cute little kitty* who might come pay their visit. Feels kinda hot lately. I wonder if it's the weather or my room.

End of Training, Beginning of Studies Again

Finally the long waited 11 weeks of training is over. But towards the last week, I wish it could be more than just 11 weeks. I'm beginning to start enjoying my training but yet it has come to an end. I've really learned quite a lot from this not very big company. With the guidance of my supervisor, a man with few words but i've learned lots from him. Everyone in this company is quite friendly and nice. Even the once very serious, cold blooded looking manager, always seems to be busy and occupied wasn't as bad as it seems. Only towards the last week we manage to interact a with him by presenting to him what we've been doing for the past few weeks. Serious discussion, and questions & answers, was a little scary at first though. But it all went well.

During my training in the company, i'd been interacting with several workers which includes some operators and machinist, most of them were very nice people though. I've also learned quite a handful from these people, their jobs may look simple and but being in their position myself has given me a different view of their job.

Getting dirty is unavoidable in this company. I smelled like grease and coolant everyday after work. But i kinda start missing the smell of it. However 11weeks is really short, but that's the time i have in the company. I really enjoyed my training period in the company, although there are some boring times but on the overall was enjoyable. It wasn't as scary as i thought in the first place. Hehe.

What's over is over. I need to start to adapt to yet another new campus life, My final year. I hope everything would be great though i'm already starting to worry about lots of stuff.

• Shifting - done ( tiring )
  
• Course - Registered ( online )
• FYP Title - Still reviewing ( have my choice of title in mind )
• Training Reports - Yet to start ( soon )
• Financial - Struggling with my pay ( waiting for PTPTN )
• Blog - Updating now ( receive complaints for not updating )
• Classes - Started today
  
• Computer - keep dying on me ( overheated ), gotta get it fix this weekend
• Back home - high chances this weekend
  

I just hope everything goes smoothly as usual for my final year.
^_^

Life Is Complicated

The more you think it is perfect,
The more you know it is not perfect.

The less problem you hope to face,
The more problem will come to you.

When you think you have just solved a problem,
Another problem will started hitting on you harder still.

When you think you know a lot,
You will find out that you are much stupider.

When you think that you have learn a lot,
You will find out that you know the least.

When you think that you are very lucky,
Bad luck will start coming you way.

When you start enjoying your life,
You will need to start a new one all over again.

When you think you will lead a simple life,
Things will just gets complicated.

New member of the family..

Tadaa..

I dun really like cats though. Cos they usually make a mess out of everything. Then sometimes they will sneak into the house to steal some food which reallly pisses us off. But lately the mother cat gave birth to these 2 little kittens. So they were quite cute and we couldn't bear to throw them away. So we just let them stay at the back of the house and give them some left over food.

Puurrrs......

Dumpling Festival..

Yippie. I'm back in mlk again. my 2nd time during my training. hehe. just because of a longer weekend so got myself back. Too bad i'm back alone this time. Agnes has her MAB going on so she's gonna be busy.
I've just meet a couple people back here. Not many though. Some aren't around, even my sis ( enjoying life in genting ). For the second time i came back i've din't met here. Avoid me on purpose. =.=
Anyway, she left something for me for my birthday. Sweet of her. But i wasn't expecting anything moreover things like that.

cute?

Back to the main topic, so happen this weekend is dumpling festival. You can find dumplings at any corner of mlk. Market pasar malam, jonker, i haven't check in tesco yet though. hehe. I like dumplings. We have like 3 kinds of dumplings here. The typical Bak Chang which has pork, dried mushroom, water chestnuts, some have dried oyster, dried prawn and etc. Another type is the Nyonya dumplings, it's a little sweet, has mince pork, winter melon and etc all minced and stuff in the dumpling. Some people doesn't like it as much but i'm fine with it. hehe. The other is 'kee chang' kinda yellowish, tasteless little dumplings. People usually eat with sugar or some with kaya.
So we wanted to buy some dumpling to eat at first but prices really hikes up. Previously was like rm2 plus then rm3. This time they were sold at rm3.50 each. Sad Sad Sad. So daddy and I decided that we made our own dumplings. First time. So excited. lol. So we bought our stuff and whatever is needed and headed back home. Prepared everything and getting ready to wrap dumplings. My dad was pretty good in wrapping. But I am struggling to get a tetrahedron dumpling rather than a kinda flatten pyramid or some other odd shapes. Opps.
We bought the stuff but couldn't really estimate how many dumpling can it make. We did the first round, and came up with 17 dumplings. Done with the glutinous rice. But we still have about half the rest of the ingredients. So we decided more glutinous rice and more dumplings. Hehe. and we ended up having about 35 dumplings.
The results, not too bad. I'd give myself 8/10 =P

Glutinous rice

Dried mushroom

Dried oyster

Pork

Water chestnuts

Finally the dumplings

TGI Friday's !

Last weekend, i went to TGI Friday's in queensbay mall! Quite a nice surrounding. Cosy and the waiters were quite friendly. We sat down and went through the menu and decided on what to eat. We took a set meal which comprises of an appetizer, main dish and a desert. We also add on another main dish and a drink. Supposed to be a belated treat from Agnes. Hehe. I'm not speaking more, i'll just post some pics of it. Food were fantastic.

Nothing Like Home

I was home for the weekends. A long holiday indeed. Nice break. I took leave on fri just to go back. hehe. anyway i couldn't bought any tickets on fri night. So no choice. hehe =P
Spend a nice weekend at home and came back on mon. It really feels good to be back home.
But now it's back to work again. Fifth week of training already, almost half way through. I'm still enjoying it. Bedtime now. zzz...

Happy Mother's Day

Today is mother's day. I hereby wish all mothers in the world a very happy mother's day.
I think it is important for us to appreciate this day. Bring our mummy out, let them have a break from all the work and chores that they have been doing repetitively without a single complaint and all their effort they've put on us to bring us up. We should instead treat them at least the queen of the day. Get all the things done for her at least for the day.

It's undeniable that occasionally they may be getting on our nerve nagging and nagging. But it's all for our own good and they did it just because of their love to us. So we must not blame them for that. Instead we just bear with it and see in their point of view.
I think they really done a great job. It's worth the while to celebrate this occcasion every year in fact everyday. The effort that they've put on us is worthless. It's like a lifetime debt for us.

A great big hug to my mummy.

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.
