Completed 24 rides around the sun

2011-05-11T21:53:00.003+08:00

Yipee, I had completed 24 rides around the sun~~

Looking back the 24 rides, I feel lucky that I had my family and friends accompany, step by step to what I am today. Went through my ups and downs, glad that I am not alone to face all these.

6 more rides till 30. And I got so many targets to reach~~ Gambateh ^^

1 Year Experience

2011-04-19T22:17:00.002+08:00

One year ago, I started my 1st job.

Throughout this year, I had switched my job once. Glad that I learned and experienced a lot in the year. And I know, I coming years will be a rollar coaster year.

I am an engineer, with one year experience.

简单的梦

2011-04-12T23:41:00.004+08:00

刚看《大学生了没》，才发现很多人和有我一样的梦想...

全家聚会乐陶陶，一起生活到终老

家人伴随度成长，人生道理在其中

还是珍惜现在所拥有的

乱码

2011-03-31T21:16:00.002+08:00

看得出上面图有哪五的字吗？尝试从远处看看，也许就看到了。事情也是无此。太近看不清楚事情，退一步可能会好些... 爱情也是无此。一直近近注意某人，退一步选择也许也不赖... 共勉之

我最崇拜的人

2011-02-28T20:53:00.002+08:00

八岁从中国来到南洋，白手起家。这故事有点老套，但我就认识这样的人。那个人就是我的外公。跟我一样，双掌都是断掌的人，但他的人生也许过得比我有意义得多。如果，再写《我最崇拜的人》，他当之无愧。

打从去年开始，有点担心。不知是巧合还是注定，每当我过我的本命年，会有人离开我。没想到此事真的发生了。我的外公离我而去。上个月开始，他就因中风而入院。看着他躺在病床上一天比一天虚弱，我的眼泪也一天比一天容易夺眶而出。由记得十二年前的那幕，我父亲躺在病床上离开前时，外公答应父亲帮忙照顾年幼的我们。每想到十二年后的今天，换成了他。

今早去殡仪馆帮忙，客人们在我面前赞他，我默默的微笑。因为我也不清楚他做了那些事，只知道他常帮助人。馆里林立的布条，花圈都对他的离去惋惜。刚刚好奇地google了他的名字，才知道他的不平凡。小时候，每每经过我小学附近的庙，都很期盼看到外公的车。有时可以跟他打招呼呢！现在，也许他不会在那儿出现了，但他的心血继续耸立在Jalan Yahya Awal。

看着他安详的离去，心想也许我该成长一些，坚强一些，那他也能走得安心一些。曾答应过赚钱了请他吃一餐，没想到让我永远食言了。

本命年才开始，我的心情起伏以这么大，接下来的一年我会坚强的。

"New" Place

2011-02-19T23:09:00.002+08:00

Had been in my current working position for 3 months, and so far so good.

Enjoying everyday challenge, everyday learning new stuff and of course meeting the ppl around me.

Glad that I made a move, to move to my current one from my previous one...

And more challenge is coming, in one month time

=D

Ex-Freescaler

2010-11-13T00:27:00.004+08:00

On 19 April 2010, I started my first job as an engineer, working in Freescale Malaysia. Whenever I mentioned that I worked in Freescale to my friend, they will give me the what-is-that look. Ok, I will share how the logo looks like here:

I like this logo, mostly because the bright orange and yellow that is the main color for the logo. You will notice this logo if you are driving along federal highway, around the Sunway junction, more commonly known as Motorola bridge there.

Today is my last day of work, and I think I spend most of my time today backing up files and update my stuff to the person who will take over my job. My cubical is followed:

The white bag over there is the smock bag for ESD purpose, my laptop and my locker. Not to mentioned my geek water bottle.

Oh, my mentors too. Learned a lot from them. They are friendly and kind. Hope I don't pissed them off for asking too much questions. They helped me in solving my issues and I really appreciated their help. Thanks...

Of course, there are some very friendly colleagues that share laughers with me. Although only being in FSL for 7 months, I enjoyed my stay and learned lots of stuff. It is really a pleasant place to work with,

However, after long struggling and consideration, I decided to move on in my life, moving back south, more might be a bit too south...

Walking in the manufacturing line for the last time, today, the noisy testers and handlers are saying bye to me. I gonna miss them, but I will see them soon~~

Last day as a Freescaler...

Around This Time

2010-11-11T22:02:00.003+08:00

3 years ago, around this time, I had my facebook account. I spend quite some time a day on this social network nowadays...

2 years ago, around this time, I left Australia back Malaysia. I enjoyed my stay there, and lots of nice and good memories still stick with me...

1 year ago, around this time, I finished my final exam and went off to USA. I had went to lots of nice places and I enjoyed my final vacation before involved myself in social university...

8 months ago, around this time, I had my uni convo remarks I finished my univeristy studies. Besides, I had my last McD burger and fries till now. Yes, I had not eaten any since I come back from USA...

This year around this time, I am moving on in my life. I am resigning from my current job and move on to the other one. My current one has a nice working environment and surrounded by friendly colleagues and boss. I learned how things are done, but not necessary the best way to be done. I learned how microships are processed before shipped and I am gladly involved. I learned my weaknesses and I hoped I can overcome it to make things right.

2010 is coming to an end soon, but another new journey in life is awaiting for me.

6 months of work

2010-10-19T22:17:00.002+08:00

It had been half a year I step into the social university. So far so good. The past 6 months was an eye opening experience which widen my view in the semiconductor industry.

From ego to work, to bored of work and now I enjoyed my moment at work. Just that I hate the part that I have to wait for problems to come to me for me to solve. Yeah, this might make me sounds sicko, but I enjoy solving problems and happy when i closed case. That's is called job satisfaction.

Colleagues are friendly and my working environment is peaceful. Perhaps, I have not seen the bad time yet.

However, this might all change soon. Not much, hopefully...

Broga Hill

2010-10-17T21:13:00.003+08:00

This morning, I went with my "long lost" uni friends, to visit Broga Hill for sunset.

We gathered at Khong's house, situated at the centre of KL, to spend our night. You know, when a bunch of friends are together, they normally don;t sleep much. We woke up at 2.30am, and start our journey to Broga Hill, which is 40km away from his place.

It took me 50mins to reach the bottom of the hill (yup, I drove all the way there to practice my driving skill for the coming road trip) and the sky was still dark. This is the 1st time i saw starry night in Selangor. =)

I would said the whole hill climbing is divided into 3 phase: 1st, u need to pass through a palm oil planation, 2nd is a jungle and 3rd is hill full of lalang.

Going up the hill required good stamina. It is very physically challenge, especially when the sun is not out yet and you are in total darkness. However, the higher you climb, the stronger the breeze is, and that make u feel comfortable.

The sunrise is a nice one, but I think I still prefer sunset the most. :P

After the sun had risen, we had our way back for a nice dim sum breakfast. You know, going down hill is a total story from going up hill. It required more skill than going up hill and is tougher.
However, no matter sunrise or sunset, the accompany is the most important of all. To all my friends.

Today, this trip reminds me that, I really need someone what likes all these adventures, natural scenic views or city exploration, to leave footprints around the world with me. :)

ps: I was road blocked my the police during my way to Broga hill. We can't find our way and I was blocked twice. By the same police. Even they also laugh at us. Haha

Graduation Thoughs to A Friend

2010-10-15T23:19:00.004+08:00

Choo,

Few days back, I visited the Monash graduation website and saw your name on the graduation website and you were awarded the title: Bachelor of Engineering (with Honors) in the field of Mechanical Engineering.

I felt so weird. Happy and sad at the same time. During Mufy time, we had lots of fun and you were my information source as it was my first time leaving home, doesn't know how the outside world looks like. Today, I manage to familiarize myself with this place that I stayed for 5 years, half the credit should goes to you.

Remember that everytime I visit you at your room, you will give me the best seat in your room, offering me mango juice that sometimes the taste goes weird? And everytime, my comp got problem will seek help from you, which sometimes make things worse? Even though it get worse, I am still not sure how u manage to fix it in the end. Do you know that I start naruto manga is because of you? I copied the anime from you and that manga had made my life wonderful? You do influence me, for what I am in some way.

During Year 1, i was highly stress with group project because of the last minute work. u are the very last person who struggled with me, even though I might throw tantrum, but I realise i am still fortunate that at least a friend is with me. Remember how I teach you for electrical and structure exam the day before both exam, causing me didn't manage to do my revision? Actually I was revised in a way, and I am glad you pass both.

I realise how bad my temper is, and currently, I had slightly improvement in controlling them. Your graduation is coming, and I hope I will be manage to hear your name from outside, and I will clap my hands for you, deep from my heart.

Regards,
Jian Wei

ps: Do you like the flower I placed at your little space there? It might not be nice, but i took me quite some time to think of where to get it. =)

人生GPS寻找我的Cheese？？

2010-10-12T21:12:00.004+08:00

无心的一句话，得到一个意想不到的答案：

我是个路痴。路走了整百遍，我还是很不确定该如何走。但还好有了一台GPS，虽然有时指示充满误导性，最少不用担心迷路。现在的我可说敢驾车出门，全靠它了。渐渐地让我觉得如果没有它会觉得没有安全感因为怕迷路。这无形中抹杀了我应锻炼的“走错路，不要紧，像办法找出路”的心态。在公路上迷失了，还有路牌，地图或GPS，要不然问问路人也许能得到答案；在人生这条大路，问再多的人，参考再多的书，最终只有自己要对当下的处境作出分析与决定，才能达到自己的生活目的地。

刚看了 Who move my cheese 一书。故事说明四个角色如何在迷宫寻找cheese。故事内容简单不过，里面的道理也许大家都巧得，但知易行难。大家会说Haw很笨，我也会这么说，但回头看看自己，自己何尝不是这样呢？在人生的迷宫里，人们害怕改变，担心失去自己已经拥有的东西。但改变后也许得到更好的也说不定。书中的Hem当感到害怕做出选择时，曾问过自己：What will I do if I am not in fear? 自己现在也常问自己这个问题。别让恐惧影响我的决定，要让自己冷静下来，仔细思考，才做决定。否则，我发现自己往往一直在逃避问题。

我也想拥有人生的GPS来寻找我的Cheese，但也许自己更需要跌跌撞撞，才能得道磨练吧！

我不要做草莓族！！

Wake me up when September Ends

2010-09-30T21:23:00.002+08:00

September had come to an end. Meaning 3/4 year of 2010 had past.

Yet, I feel that I am still stepping at the same point, not moving forward.

Wake me up, when Spetember ends.... *yawn*

梦

2010-09-02T22:22:00.003+08:00

在梦里
你主动牵了我的手
我也鼓起勇气拥抱你
那一刻
我觉得很幸福
很甜蜜
但我还是松开了双手
离开了你

梦醒后
想起那场梦
虽然有股冲动
想告诉你我爱你
但我知道我不能拥有你
因为我不想伤害你
更不想伤害我自己

对不起
请原谅我的自私

独立53年，那又怎样？

2010-08-31T14:33:00.003+08:00

马来西亚53年了。起初的发展中国家，到现在还是发展中国家，但2020年先进国宏愿没有看似更近，反而感觉越来越遥远了。想到这是我生于斯，长于斯的地方，这一点，真叫人痛心。

2004年之后，负面新闻不断涌现。政商勾结，贪污腐败，滥权打压，施政不公，种种事情令人感到恶心无比。而人民也用选票来表达悲愤，造就了308大选的结果。308 后，以为各政府会有些长进，但反而每况愈下。联邦与各州政府担心选票流失，根本不敢大刀阔斧的改革。现在的心情只能说是恨铁不成钢。53年了，我们还在内乱，各方自我制造假想敌人，为什么不用这剩精于力来为国为民了？说穿了，各方也自为各自的名利斗个你死我活而已。当然，当中也有为人为民的领袖，但简直是凤毛麟角而已。我们90年代，自豪的稳定政局哪去了？

90 年代，我国经济表现亮眼。许多外国公司来我国设厂，使到各行各业的发展都欣欣向荣。现在，外资撤离，通货严重，失业率攀升，但根本没看到官老爷，想任何应对策略，来亡羊补牢。经济蛋糕没变大，反而缩小，一小撮人没有帮忙想如何弄大这块蛋糕，反而想法如何让自己分得大块点，还祭出种族牌来理直气壮地讨蛋糕，真是贪得无厌。国家经济，是国家每个个体的贡献，大家都有权利分一杯羹，不是吗？邻边国家经济正逐渐起飞，越南，印尼，菲律宾等，曾被我国抛在远后的德国家也迎头赶上。当我们还沾沾自喜能聘请廉价外劳时，殊不知自己国家输出马佣/马劳的日子，也许不远了。我们的强势经济成长哪去了？

近年来，宗教与种族歧视叫嚣，各领袖媒体发表各式不负责任的言论。为什么53 年了，我们还要攻击其他人的肤色宗教，而不是尊重呢？旅游局喜欢向外国宣扬我国是文化的大杂锅，这也成我国的特殊文化。各族拥有各自的文化，理应互相尊重，互相帮忙保护他族的文化。但这美好的共识，近年来被有心人士严重破坏。宗教场所被攻击，宗教圣物被羞辱，数年前我们嘲笑印尼发生宗教被攻击时，为什么同样的事发生在自己的国土呢？我们和谐的社会哪去了？

在国外，人都对我国子民精通多种语言而感到羡慕，这是令人骄傲的事。世界上，有多少个国家能像我国让人民个自学习各自母语的机会呢？殊不知在国内，令我们骄傲的特殊教育体系面对着艰辛的挑战。很多时候母语教育被有心人士视为人民团结的绊脚石，但往往这些人看不出，很多时候是行政上的偏袒。奖学金发放不公，学校内这有固打，那又限制，没被特殊照顾的一群心里会平衡吗？被特殊照顾的心生莫名的优越感，又会怎么看待其他人呢。教育和政治理应楚河汉界分得清楚，但很多时候，教育政策往往是从政治为出发点，破坏了教育的本质。教育理应向空气一样，免费又容易得到。但当人们用有色眼镜来看待教育时，掌权的一方想对另一方设下诸多限制，试问教育体系里提倡的有教无类哪儿去了？

扶弱济贫，没有错，但政府对贫弱的定义却令人百思不解。贫弱的定义，不看能力与金钱，反而看肤色，是定义下错还是别有所图，就不得而知了。把自己族群归类为贫穷，如果是真的，也许能帮助许多真正许要帮助的人；如果不全然真的，只会灭自族威风。在国外，人们对自己需要他人帮忙而感到害羞。如果并非真正需要，也不会寻求帮忙。但国内的歪风是有钱没钱都觉得自己需要帮忙，使到往往真正需要帮助的人的不到应有的帮助。马来西亚人的骨气哪去了？

国内司法治安也令人忧心。司法公正让人民灰心，因为许多案件的审判往往是出自于法官对宪法的诠释，而非从普罗大众的利益出发。犯罪率上升，使人即使在家内，也不觉得安全，出门了也感到提心吊胆；外资也不敢来了我国投资，因为失窃案层出不穷，会造成无谓的损失。警界贪污滥权造成小撮警员不务正业，与其用这些时间精力来抓贼擒盗，往往遭殃的是小市民。和平请愿遭打压，无缘无故遭找查，使市民怕那些害群之马的警察多过怕贼盗。被喻为人民之友的警察哪去了？

独立53年，那又怎样？即时独立60年，甚至100年，人民与政府思想不进步，独立xx年也只不过是个没有意义的数字而已。

孤单旅行

2010-08-04T09:20:00.003+08:00

自从两年前去了澳洲，我爱上旅行。希望将来能有个伴，陪我在世界各地，留下我们的足迹。

当我以为自己找到时，她的一句话，让我醒了回来。就像Inception电影的一句对白：
Cobb: Dreams feel real while we're in them. It's only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.

别做梦了。继续孤单旅行吧！

孤单旅行
演唱：何耀珊

當我睜開了眼睛　卻沒看見你
我才想起　難道你已經離去
當我走進了客廳　覺得太安靜
我才感到　真的一切變得好冷清

＊就算我努力試著面對　卻還是不知如何相信這一切
　從今後你不在我身邊　誰給我勇氣面對快樂和傷悲

＃真的要開始了自己　這場孤單的旅行
　走在同樣的生活裡　過不一樣的生命
　該怎麼開始我自己　這場孤單的旅行
　你依然住在我心裡　我依然想你

2010-07-22T21:10:00.002+08:00

It had been 2 months since i last updated my blog. This is explained and showed how lifeless and how unexciting my working life is. However, the visit of Tze Yong last week at least make my time not so dull. Had a wonderful steamboat dinner last Friday with (Peiwen and Doi), Woan Lin and Tze Yong and made me looking forward for the coming one on Saturday with my uni friends. This might be the last time such big gang of us actually sit down to have our dinner.

Yesterday, went for movie with Doi and I think this is one of the best movies I had ever seen. Going into the cinema without any expectation, I came out from the cinema stunned!! This is definitely the best movie I watched this year, or maybe since last year, or maybe since the year before last year, or maybe...

Trying not to be a spoiler here, thus nothing about the plot will be discuss here. The director aka the writer too had such awesome imagination and unique way of telling story which make it so exciting that you never feel bored. The storyline so unpredictable which makes you so eager to know what will happen next. You can't feel that 148 minutes actually passed so fast as if you are dreaming. You wouldn't want to miss a moment. However, there are many layers in the story which might make you lost track. So, concentrate and let your imagination wonders you around.

The ending is the most cruel one but keep your imagination going on. Until now, I am still puzzle with it, and I think I had quite a serious post withdrawal symdrome from the movie. This movie is definitely worth acedemic study wise.

Leonardo definitely did a great job. I never see his movie after Titanic which makes me out of track of his acting improvement. Only then, I realised that Zac Efron, who wants to be his successor, is shadowing him. Still more work to go, Zac.

I am giving this movie 4.9/5.0 as it fulfill my desire for a scientific, action and romance movie after such a long time. Those superheros movie definitely can't fight. Haha

Hi Jian Wei, Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-11T23:25:00.000+08:00

Ok, this title might sound wrong to you...

Years ago, liping brought up this idea:

On birthday, the person should really celebrate is your mum, cause it is she that brought u to this world after 10 months.

Thanks mum for bring me to this world, and nurture and guided me. For 23 years without giving me up and being patient. I know I am not a good son, but I really hope I can spend more time with you.

Besides, always, i think i am lucky...

From primary to secondary, my best friends stay with me...
From secondary to NS, my good buddies stay with me...
From NS to Pre-U, my camp mate and sec friend stay with me...
From Pre-U to Uni, my coursemates stay with me...
From M'sia to Aussie, my friends accompany me...
From M'sia to USA, good friends work and travel with me...

As I move on in life, more and more friends are getting into my friend list. All these while, I was and am lucky to know lots of awesome friends, that accompany me through my ups and downs. However, my life will move on as i chase my dreams. Going for a new journey in my life, to a totally stranger place to me. Physically, I will be alone, but i know, my families and friends are supporting me... Of course, more and more friends will be coming, into my wonderful life.

21 April 2005, I started my blog in msn space: http://jchengjw.spaces.live.com/default.aspx. That was my first blog and was created with the help of my friend, Doi. That blog, shared my sorrow, happiness, anger and fear.

Then, I moved on to blogspot, which is where my current blog is located. Same as the previous one, this blog accompany me lots of my time, where my friends are always updated with my current activities and know my feelings.

From after PLKN to my pre-u, then my university life, from Australia till work and travel in USA, both blog showed how much I experience in my life, and hopefully I showed a little bit of my personal growth. Now, moving on is my working life. Hope my life is as interesting as the previous...

I had being a blogger for 5 years... And i am glad that I have one (or maybe considered as 2)...

One week after working

2010-04-26T21:16:00.002+08:00

I had been working for a week, and i think, I like my working place.

Yeah, is weird, but i really like my working place. The working environment is much much friendlier than those I used to have, and my colleagues are around my age which makes me able to communicate easily. The working time is flexible and you have lots of freedom. Of course, with the basis that you get all your work done.

After work, I tried to occupy my time nicely. I made myself have lots of outdoor activities as possible. I go swimming, jogging and now, planning to start a work out program, to lose my weight and gain muscles. I will be controlling my diet soon my cooking food with less salt, less sugar and less oil. I also obtained some books from the community library, to broaden up my knowledge. I downloaded a computer game which i like a lot, and enjoyed going out with friends for a dinner or perhaps a movie during weekend. i believe these things will keep me busy for quite sometimes.

These days, more and more job offers are coming and I rejected quite a lot. I am waiting for a better offer than my current one. Guess, I might not stay long for here. Should I take the left lane or right lane??

The Neither-student-nor-worker period is coming to an end

2010-04-18T21:12:00.002+08:00

Tomorrow, will be a new journey in my life...

I am stepping into the social university where learning never end. I will work as an engineer, work hard for myself, my family and my future, or maybe for mankind.

Although this is my 5th job, I feel uneasy. There is no longer and days for me to countdown when my working period will end besides the day of my retirement. Wondering about the working environment, colleagues, and even challenges in job, I believe now that I have to face everything alone. Physically, of course. Mentally, I know my family is always behind me supporting me, and my friends are always there to spare their time and ears listen to me. At least this make me feel that I am not totally alone.

Although I had spend 4 years in Sunway, and months in NS camp, Australia and USA, I know that I still feel uneasy staying out of house. That day, when my mum accompanied me to my current staying place, I knew that she was sad. But, she supported me and respects my decisions, not blaming me for leaving home, looking for my career. I appreciated that and was touched in my heart. I know, in my mum eyes, I am always a boy, that never grows up. However, there are lots of problems that I solved alone without telling her, tonnes of lies that I made, hoping not to trouble her but sometimes make her even more troubled.

What will I be in the coming years? What will happen in the future if I took a different path? Perhaps, no one will know until the time has come.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Orlando, located in the Sunshine State

2010-04-15T20:32:00.008+08:00

After finish working in McD, we left the town that we stayed for 3 months, Falmouth and heading towards our 1st destination, Orlando.

Journey begin

Orlando is a city located in Florida state. Florida state is also known as the sunshine state as it is always warm throughout the year. Orlando is famous for having lots of theme parks. I get to know this place through my friends as they get to work here in the same program in a park that I would be mentioned later.

We reach Orlando at night and we check in into an inn in Kissimmee (yeah, spells like "kiss me"). The place we stayed is called Knights Inn. It is around 30bucks per night per room which is a great deal. However, it is located very far from most of the theme parks and we spent quite a lot on cabs. Although free shuttle (is singular, it only provide once a day!!) is provided, we were not able to catch it most of the time.

Knights Inn

The first day (21 Feb 2010), we made some mistakes on the shuttle and we ended up heading to our 1st theme park, Islander Adventure. Out of all, I like this park the most as the roller coasters are nice and followed to there themes.

Islander Adventure

This is one of the street and guess you will like it if you are a Marvel heroes fan.

Example of a street

The 5 themes in the park are as followed:

Each of it is so fun and the buildings are so beautiful. Never see such theme park in Malaysia

That's why i said:

The second theme park that we went is Seaworld (22 Feb 2010).

Seaworld

This park has less thrill rides but you have a lot of animal shows to watch. You have

Rats, cats and dogs

Seals and Walrus

and of course, the Shamu show

We were lucky in some sence that this show was stopped 1 or 2 days after we went as there was incident regarding a killing whale killed a trainer.

The third park we went is Busch Garden (23 Feb 2010).

Busch Garden

It has marvelous rides

totally wet!!

90 degree (almost like free fall) rollar coaster

and delicious turkey legI don't really like it cause is too meaty for me. Nothing wrong with the taste

and lots of African wild animals.

And last (24 Feb 2010), Universal Studio (Singapore has a new one though).

Universal Studio

Most rides are based on famous movies. Not much roller coasters but quite a lot of 4D rides.

This is a cool one. It let you select songs that you like while having your ride

MIB rides. Riding on cart and shoot aliens

This is the coolest 4D ride that I ever had

Shrek 4D. Funny!!

Four days of trips, we covered four theme park. I would probably go to Florida again, especially Orlando as I missed the Disney World there (is disneyworld, not disneyland. So, you should have guess how big it is in Orlando with 7 theme parks. One park per day can let you play the whole week). Besides, Miami beach which is underneath Florida is a nice place, I think...

Next stop: The SIN city, LAS VEGAS~~

Starting a new life soon

2010-04-14T21:42:00.003+08:00

It had been around a month since I came back from USA and had my graduation ceremony. And I was lucky enough, I manage to find a job within a month and I am going to return to KL soon, since I am going to start work next week. Feeling nervous now as I don't know what I will face in my life in the future.

Compared to previous years, this time, I believe I need to be more independent. Guess I will be alone most of the time, facing the problems I had in life. Especially, for a driving noobie like me, I will be driving around the "new" environment and it will be a great challenge. Hope i will be safe and sound.

Something puzzled me these day after reading a book. Perhaps, I need to make a decision and come out with a plan. Of course, I required some guts before coming out with any decision. Should I or shouldn't I?

Working life, how will it be?? Hmm.....

New York City Trip

Ok, i know i shud upload all these two months ago. But was quite busy and lazy :P. 13 Feb 2010 to 15 Feb 2010, it is the period of Chinese New Year. My friends and I planned to take those days off and travel to New York City.

13 Feb 2010
The day before, I had to work till 3am (YES!! IS 3 AM). Then, after that, my friend drove the rented car to NYC. Due to tireness, I slept in the car. When reaches NYC, we took a city tour package like what we did in Boston. We started with the most boring loop, the Uptown tour.

Basically, Uptown tour is travelling in the neighbourhood. The neighbourhood in NYC is peaceful but i think is not that spacious. However, it was a peaceful place.

We also visited one of the famous M&M shop in NYC. There are other two store, one in Orlando and another in Las Vegas

M&M store

The largest Toy r Us store is also located in NYC, with a feris wheel in it.

Where are the above both stores located? It is at the famous Times Square. I highly believe this is the most expensive place in the world. As this is the centre of NYC, the world most populous city.

Times Square

By the way, on the road 5 out of 10 cars will be a cab. Seems new yorkers are pretty proud of the cab. They even made a statue to symbolize the icon of new york city.

"Taxi!!"

14 Feb 2010
It is Chinese New Year, and I believe it is one of my highlight in my life. We allocated the most important trip on this day, which is the downtown trip.

The largest store in the world

The tallest building in NYC, Empire state building, before the twin tower is built and after the terrorist had attacked NYC

However, I myself was very exciting to see this:

Statue of Liberty

Even now, I myself, still can't resist its beauty...

Ok, i know, this look ugly

Evening, we took a ferry cruise to go around the island and underneath the brigde. The night view of NYC is splendid...

Night time, we went to the Top of the Rock, to view the night view. It was rather winding and chill. The picture below shows the Empire State Building. See, the light is red. It is not normally red. It is red as it is Chinese New Year...

At the entrance of Top of the Rock, funny name yeah...

Of course, Times Square is as merry as always. We found a nice spot to take a photo of four

15 Feb 2010

Today, is rather chilling. We have more time walking around this USA most population city. Morning, we went to Chinatown and found a Guan Yin temple there. We prayed as we didn't do that during the 1st day of chinese new year. Then, we went to a famous restaurant, Congee House (something like that) in Chinatown, and we had our "reunion dinner".
Not only that, Chinatown has quite a lot of nice chinese grocery =)

We also visited the 911 incident place, the twin tower. There is a memorial centre for it and lots of information for the incident is there. Feel like I was there, cause everything is so familiar to me now. The airline, the destination and all those photos. As if I am witnessing the whole incident.

A construction is taking place at the old address of WTC

The tour guide share his photo collection of the WTC Twin Tower

Make sure u always remember =)

We took the subways around the city

We visited the Wall Street as well. This is one of the most financial district in USA. you know, the share of USA took place here?

Night view of Wall Street

Madison Square Garden, just like TD Garden, NBA games took place here

Koreatown. just like Chinatown, but this is smaller, just one street

This ends our NYC trip. We might just explored a ice tip of this city, but the memory is always there

On the street of NYC

Places that you should go:

Statue of Liberty
Top of the Rock
Chinatown

Why? I am too free, cause i edy graduated =P. No more lectures to attend, no more tutorials to do, and no more lab work to be done. Woohoo

My coursemate and I during graduation

These days, finding job giving me quite some stress. Lots of questions are popping out from my head: Why no reply? Did they fill a vacant? Am I not good enough?

Ok, perhaps, I am think to negatively. Should have a bit more confidence to myself. Anyway, it is just one week. Perhaps, good news and replies will come next week, right? Probably will use this period, to do some reading and tidy up the maps and brocures that I took back from USA

Coming to an end

2010-03-06T13:30:00.002+08:00

Starting from Orlando, followed by Las Vegas, then San Francisco and finally Los Angeles, my trip in USA is coming to an end. I will be taking a flight, from LAX to Tokyo, then Singapore and KL, starting from 7 March 2010 (LA time) and reach KL on 9 March 2010 in the morning.

My USA trip is eye opening again, and i experienced more than my Australia stay. Travelled to 6 well known places believe is a new history to me.

Best part in each city for me:
Boston - NBA match
NYC - Statue of Liberty and Times Square
Orlando - Theme Parks

Boston Trip - Day 2 and 3

2010-01-27T03:12:00.003+08:00

Day 2
Today, we got 3 main places to visit. Firstly, is the New England Aquarium. The aquarium does not occupy much space, but it nicely stack up into several floors. The moment you step into the building, you are greeted by the lovely cute penguins.

Ice craft outside the building

Lovely penguins

Next, we went to Museum of Science. It is a combination of museum and a science centre. For my opinion, it is fun, just that we were running out of time, we just spend little time on it. On that time, it had the Harry Potter movie props exhibition. No money and no time, we forget about the plan.

Remember this prop? Ron was riding it in the first Harry Potter movie, in the wizard chess game

The main purpose of this trip, is to watch the NBA match. That night, Boston Celtic vs Atlanta Hawks, in TD Garden. The atmosphere was so cool and I really enjoy the game.

NBA Basketball Match

Final score, Boston Celtic lose =(

Yup, I am in TD Garden

Day 3
Our unexpected final day, as we though we suppose to work on that day. We decided to spend that day walking around MIT which we missed. Yup, after Harvard, it is MIT which is just beside Harvard University. MIT, the leading engineering university in the world.

This make you afraid?

MIT is so grand. It is just like a Greece building

Thoughts:
Boston is surely fun. With sports, food, academic, science and arts, she sure has everything. The public transport is nicely plan and well schedule.

Next:
Chinese New Year is coming, and my friends and I will be visiting the leading global city in the world: NEW YORK. Besides, my working period is coming to an end, and we are planning to 4 of the famous places in USA

Boston Trip - Day 1

2010-01-20T03:30:00.007+08:00

It had been a week a came back from Boston. Due to the sucky internet connection and a little bit of laziness, I wasn't able to upload these photos:

DAY 1
Day 1 in Boston. After having experience of last trip to Boston, we manage to cover more places in this trip.

We found a city tour package in Quicy Market, with each of us USD33 for two days transport. However, this transport limited us to 4pm of that day. Thus, we also got a 7 days pass using the MBTA subways and buses.

Using the city tour trolley, we came to our 1st stop, which is the USS Constitution Museum. This is Americans' oldest commissioned ship which has now retired, and only bought to sea 7 times in a year.

On the USS Constitution

Funny way to vote har?

Next stop is Fenway Park. In US, 3 sports are the most popular here. Basketball, baseball and ice hockey. Fenway Park serves as the stadium for RedSox team to home their baseball game in the league. We joined a guided tour, although i am not a baseball fan, i was enjoyed by how crazy some people can be over this sports game.

In front of Fenway Park

Next stop, is Harvard University. Yes, you didn't see wrongly, it is Harvard, one of the top university in the world. Harvard University in a place call Cambridge. So next time, when people tell you that Harvard is in Cambridge, he is right. It was rather tricky when we reach Harvard though. Trying to find the main gate for the university, it turns out that a small tiny door, which is not easily noticeable that IT IS THE MAIN GATE FOR THIS TOP UNIVERSITY. However, in the school campus, you will find Sir Harvard Statue in it. The buildings in the university are grand and I was impressed with the amazing building architecture and craft work of it. It had around 370 years of history!! Especially, the library which is big and beutiful, which is also the world largest acedemic library.

In Harvard University

That night, we had our dinner back in Chinatown, where we found our beloved Malaysian cuisine.

Curry Ayam with rice!!! But not as good as expected

Cendol

New Year 2010

2010-01-06T08:49:00.002+08:00

It is new year and some plan is certainly going on for the year

Find a job -- Yup, I had graduated and I am jobless at the same time. To shorten this weird period, where I am neither a student nor a labor, guess that I need to get myself employed. Hope that I can get the job in my mind. Resumes and letters will be sent soon.
Travel to some places with friends -- Due to the fact that it is no longer easier for us to arrange time together, I hope that I can at least travel to ONE place with friends. Not just a lunch or dinner gathering. Some site seeing or adventurous trip will do. People who see this, contact me please.
Read 3 books -- Coincidently, one friend of mine had the same plan. However, for me, any books will be fine. Doing so is because I don't want to be JUST an engineer. Who knows maybe Jian Wei can talk about economics or psychology with you?? Lol

Good luck for everyone on 2010...

Some Pictures Upload

2010-01-06T06:41:00.004+08:00

It had been around 1 week i did not update my blog. Some interesting events took place.

19 Dec 2009
A snow storm reached Falmouth and it was the first time seeing snow cover a place right in front of my eyes. People who follow news should know that a snow storm move from the west coast to the east coast, bring snow to USA. Although i seen snow before back in Australia, it is totally different as the snow there are mostly man made. This is certainly naturally made.

My friends and I who are like "sua gu" to the angmoh play in the snow the night snow fall. We even made a snow man with it. See!
Due to the storm, Falmouth received a 7 inches thick of snow the next day and most of the shops were closed. Public transport was out of services and initially we planned to go to Boston on that day and we had to pospone our trip. Rottern luck.

The town was covered with snow. It took one week for the snow to melt. This picture was taken few steps away from the door.

21 Dec 2009
Due to the snow, our Boston trip was cut to one day long. Boston is a nice place. I like the public transport as it covered most trips that we want to go. We are planning another Boston trip on 10 Jan 2010 to discover more about the city. The main purpose for this trip is to SHOP as christmas is around the corner and there are sales, saLES, SALES going around. We fully utilised the public transport there with a daily public transport pass.

Boston City

Quicy Place

In the Boston public transport

Boston public transport is nicely coverage. But it is old and dirty. However, it is much better the public transport back in hometown.

Watching NBA in the next Boston trip, and going to Harvard Uni and MIT too. Looking forward.

25 Dec 2009

Today is Christmas. The night before that I had to do the dishes in McD as I was in charged to close the shop. It is rather fun though as I am my friends were doing the dishes together. We talked and we laughed, and that is what I called B-U-D-D-Y.

It is a white christmas as the place is still covered with snow. All shops are closed and luckily we had stocked up our food supply. Walking around the town, which is cold, the shops windows are rather interesting. Decoration at the entrance of the town were interesting too. Too bad, no one invite us for their christmas dinner.

We had chinese buffet in a restaurant (only asians are hardworking enough to work on that day) and it was USD12. We missed malaysian food.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

31 Dec 2009

The night before new year, again, we were in charged to wash the dishes. Helping each other, we manage to finish washing the dishes faster than the other time. That night, we went to an Irish bar and the beer is nice. Everyone in the bar is crazy and high but we did not stay until new year in that bar. Everyone is looking at us maybe due to the black hair on top of us. We feel uneasy. So we changed to a nearer bar to the place we stayed. It was more quiet there but at least we were not being watch like an extinct animal.

3-2-1... HAPPY NEW YEAR

PSS: More photos will be uploaded on Facebook

PSSS: My internet sucks!!!!

i'm lovin' it

2009-12-17T08:01:00.000+08:00

As promised, let me describe my work and the place I work:

Currently, I am working in on of the branch of McD in USA. In a town called Falmouth. McD is quite common in US people's life. Remember, there was one day, my friends and I saw an old granny hand shaking, putting a burger into her mouth, drinking soft drinks. I believe you don't see this often as old people are rather scare of diabetes.

Different from Malaysia, there exist a drink fountain in the store. Means that you can get a cup and unlimitedly refill soft drinks that you like. There are more variety of soft drinks than in Malaysia. Besides, there are more variety of burgers in US. But remember, McD in USA is non-halal. Hope that explain why there are more variety of burgers.

The manager is a nice guy. He is kind of funny and friendly. So far, I will say. Other workers complained about him behind him, but I believe he treated us better as we are just student. Most of my colleagues are Brazilian and they always speak Portugese. Perhaps, they speak something ill behind us, which we dun understand. Never mind, we do speak Malay. But anyway, most of them are pretty nice. Sometimes, there is communication breakdown, as they are not fluence in speaking English.

Working in McD, so far I tried making sandwiches and frying french fries. Making burger is stressful as they have a lot of requirement. Some customer dun want pickle, some want extra; some dun want ketchap, some want only ketchap. Quite picky compare to Malaysian. Of course, there are some cleaning job which included dish washing, sweeping, mopping and washing. Besides, working as cashier is a challeging as their coins and money are not easy to deal with. Firstly, all paper notes have the same color and size. Unlike Malaysia, red is RM10, green is RM5, and blue is RM1. Sometimes, will carelessly mistaken as another bill. So need be be more careful when handling the money. For coins, they have coins called quarter dollar, which is 25 sen. It is rather hard to count with this number. Worstly, this coin has almost the same size as nickel, which is 5sen.

And my uniform, different from Malaysia which is orange color with a weird hat, mine is a blue shirt and a black trousers with a cap. Simple. Below is a picture of my friend and I in uniform.

Save more money, to travel around.

2nd Week In USA

2009-12-07T21:42:00.000+08:00

In USA for 2 weeks edy, and there are some interesting things happened the past week

Opened a bank account and everything is fine. The ATM is user friendly, but i can't stand the delay from it. The tellers are unhelpful and there is no request counter. So lost in the bank.
Use the public transport in USA to get to a mall during my off day. The bus was kind of scary as the people in the were youngster that looks like lala and there is alchoholic too
The shopping mall in Hyannis is kinda small, nothing much interesting.
Christmas is near and the shop windows are decorated. Sales are everywhere and I bought myself a levi's jeans for USD30
The weather is turning cold and it started to snow the night before yesterday.
That day, I started work at 6am. An old man came to me and asked whether I am fro China. He told me that he was rescued by the Chinese during WWII in China after shot by the Japanese. The Chinese brought him 40 something miles away to save him. What a story to tell the grandson.
Had our Asian meal in US and it is not that expensive. Luckily...
Yesterday there is a parade in town, and I missed it. I was working at that time. sigh. Anyway, this parade is organised for the high school students in the town, and everyone took their chairs and sit beside the road. Interesting.

Will talk about my job in my next post

PS: Finish typing in Falmouth at 8:55am 7 Dec 2009

Black Friday

2009-11-29T04:59:00.002+08:00

Yesterday was Black Friday, which is a day after Thanks Giving Day. This day is special as people will wake up early for shopping.

Woke up at 2:45am yesterday, we took a 30 min walk to a shopping mart: Walmart. It is like those hypermarket back home, but more emphasizes on hardware than food. My friends and I went there planning to get a bike, and some of them want electronics stuff which are really cheaper back home.

We reach Walmart around 3:30am and there is already a long queue in front of the mart. Workers are distributing maps of the mart, hoping that people know where to head when the shop open. Those discounted products are not place as they were normally placed.

At 4am, the shop open, People running in the mall to get the stuff they want. Most of them want TVs and laptops. Some other devices like Wii, PSP, PS3, Guitar Hero are just like a fan, or a rice cooker for them, place on shelf. American's are really pampered with all these video games.

After getting a bike, we also plan to get a kettle. To boil water of course. Asking a senior shop assistance, around 60 years old man, where the kettles are located, he answered: " I had not seen an electrical kettle since this mart is established. Let me check, " Of course, we can't find one in the end.

Around 6am, we had to go back since I had to work around 11.30am on that day itself.

CRAZY SHOPPING

ThanksGiving

2009-11-27T04:58:00.005+08:00

It is thanksgiving today, and my friends and I really learn the meaning of thanksgiving.

Early morning, we decided to move to a motel nearer to out working place. It took us few minutes to decide to move to the new place. Around 11am, we told our current motel owner that we want to move out and what we received from her is: @!%* f*ck

Reach our new motel and trying to settle down. Marcus gave a call, saying that the previous motel lady warned us that the place is not safe. We ignored that advice and we thought that it might be the lady tried to be nasty. Only then, two of our friends who reach later tell us something serious.

"Just now, we ask the taxi driver about the motel. The taxi driver thought for 5 sec and answered: it is not safe to stay there.

This place is full of drug addicts and the cops will come once in two day."

Looking around the room, realised that the door lock is spoilt. It seems that someone really tried to break in the room before. Thinking back, there are a lot of CCTV around the motel. If it is safe, why do they need that much of CCTV? My friends said that the street lights are off at night.

"So, shall we go back to the previous one?" said Marcus.

No one object.

Lesson of the story: Appreciate what we had

*********

Yesterday, in our restaurant, our boss treated us a thanksgiving dinner.

There are roast turkey, rice (for quite a long time i hadn't consume rice), squash soup, mash potatoes, stuffing, apple crumbler etc. Nice... Roast turkey is a bit dissapointing but the rice is nice and fragrant.

That's my first thanksgiving dinner.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

1 Week in USA

2009-11-25T07:19:00.005+08:00

It had been a week I had arrived in USA, and everything is fine... so far

Upon arriving USA, we need to take a 20-hour flight, and it was a horrible experience. Of course, the 20-hours of flight does not include transit time to wait for the next flight. This time, different from Australia, I decided t have things light.

My baggage

Okay, I know, the baggage is still not light enough. But compare to others, mine i considered light edy. The first transit was to Singapore Changi Airport. It is a nice airport and well equipped with facilities. And the most important, it is FREE!!

Next transit is in Tokyo Japan Airport, Narita Airport. I like the airport, as the shops are interesting. Of course, there are some kawaai lenglui walking around!!

The shops in airport are full of interesting stuff. The shop that caught my interest the most is the paper folding art museum.Cute and colorful products

Next, we had a stop in Chicago, where Michael Jordan served for the basketball team there. He is a legend.

Stopped in Chicago Airport

And, we finally reach Boston. It was very cold there and made me reminded of australia weather

Marcus and I at Boston Airport

Since we reached boston pretty late, we spent one night in Boston before to Falmouth, the town that I suppose to go one the next day
The hotel we stayed in, Wyndham Chelsea. It is a nice hotel. It is money worth

Took a bus (Peter Pan Company) from Logan Airport in Boston to Falmouth the next day

And, we had our 1st lunch in USA. The pizza taste great!!

Steve Pizzarie which is just next door to the motel we are currently staying in

I had started working the passed few days, and I will talk about it in the next post. Currently, my friends and I are staying in a motel, and we tried our best to find some other place to stay. We hope to find a cosy house, which is nearer to our working place. (walking 20 min in the cold is driving me crazy currently). Hopefully we can get a nicer place to stay by next week.

Thanksgiving day is coming, and I hope I dun miss anything interesting that Americans do.

ps: now is 7:30pm, 24 Nov 2009

3 more days and I will be on my way to USA

I feel very nervous now as this is very different from last time I went to Australia:

Last time, I went to Australia to study. This time, I am going USA to work. Work in McD
I have no idea what kind of place am I going. Unlike last time, I know I will be in around the university
This time, in a group of 4, we are going USA and that's it. Unlike last time, a much bigger group is going and I had friends (liping example) in Australia
I have no friend and family in USA
I had to arrange transportation and accomodation myself. Unlike last time, I still can stay in halls and Monash provide transportation for us to reach the campus
I never stay at a place that snow. Totally winter. Unlike Australia that just being cold and rainy during winter days.
My first time working as a cook/casher/order taker
H1N1 in USA.
I hope i understand their english ascent. I hope they understand my english too.
Hope my employer is a nice person

Of course, besides packing, I believe I need to prepare mentally as well. People who know me knew that I plan everything nicely before hand. I say no to excitement and accident. Hope this time, I can train myself to deal with a new surrounding well.

I believe, I am growing... To be a better man

Final, my last assignment was submitted, which left my final report which i view it as my final paper for my thesis project. Report is not fun =(

Had be struggling to place what i did in 26 weeks into 20 minutes of presenation is like a mission impossible. But anyway, make things short and simple is the main consideration.

If you are eye sharp enough, I just change my facebook profile picture to one i took in the ball last week. I like my hairstyle that night as it was well set by some more expert guy. However, soon enough, i will be getting a haircut before the school starts again.

New profile pic in FB

the ball was not that enjoyable as the one i used to attend in australia last year. But anyway, the company counts. This might be the last chance a bunch of friends sitting around~~ Yup, i said MIGHT.

Final year engineering students

Applying for USA work and travel and hopefully it can be done asap. My friends and I had dragged for to long and hopefully it can be done in time. Meanwhile, typing my final report is a pain as i dunno what to put in it. Everything seems so had to put in words and my reporting skill is really really bad...

OMNet++ assignment was completed and that was a relief. However, Another NI assignment is due soon and hopefully can be done well.

Btw, my final exam ends pretty late and it is not a good news to me. Hope i dun get bored by those stuff~~

Final break in monash has no break....

Crayon ShinChan

2009-09-27T15:30:00.002+08:00

Ok, i know is a bit late, but

I really like this comic. I also like the cartoon, no matter in chinese, malay, english or japanese... However, the author is now dead and no more funny comics from him. Hope the other two comics that i like can continue until all the mysteries are solved (Naruto and One Piece).

Shinchan is cute and "naive" in some sense. The way he treat his mum is rude but the way bond between he and his family and friends are strong. He had the strength to motive people which i wish there is one besides me...

As people grows up, we tend to said that we are getting older and older. We stop to take adventure and challenges... need to understand:

We do not stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing (O. M. Holmes)

So, lets keep playing and never grow old... just like Shinchan who is always 5 years old...

The Tomb of Narutokyo

2009-09-20T23:29:00.002+08:00

I always hate to wear black as it is no longer my favorite color. However, today, I attended a funeral. A sad and touch one...

In bus, although everyone was taking jokes and playing cards, deep in the heart, everyone was sad. Someone we knew is no longer beside us.

Going to Choo's hometown, Mantin, this is somewhere Hao Zhi and I went to his house to complete on of our lab project during 1st year. I remember the road where we walk to shops, I remember the shops that looks old, I remember the warung where we used to had breakfast, and the corner lot where we used to have dinner. I remember the route towards his house where a lot of dogs braking at as when we passed though and his cosy house which had a wide yard.

This is the 2nd time i came back to the place and guessed might be the last time. So much memory in there although i just stayed for 2 days. Having a chance to see his last appearing, lying in the coffin lifelessly, I can't believe that he was still jumping around in school in one week time before this. Looking at his picture, it was downloaded from facebook, and never thought that it was used for his funeral photo...

After some chanting and seeing him last look, we went to the place where the burial takes place. Sending him my last regards by putting flowers into the hole where he is buried. Saying silently: Choo, all the best in your new journey. I only able to send you until here. Tears started rolling in my eyes as I tried to control it from flowing it.

And this is how i send off my friend. A friend that I know after I left my beloved hometown JB and came to sunway, a friend that we studied MUFY together and went to the same university, a friend that help me whenever I had problems. I realised that all this while I received his helps and accompany for granted. And now, I really regret doing so...

Life still goes on, and hope that my friends and I will face the problems and difficulties coming to us with strength and courage. The tomb of Narutokyo will be placed in Nirvana Memorial Park. Just like what Kakashi flashed back what his nakama said when visit his nakama's tomb, which is the best phrase I heard so far:

In the ninja world, those who break the rules and regulations are called trash
But those who don't care about their friends are even worse than trash

Guess this is what Choo hold as his principle of life...

From his sister:

我会学会好好驾车。我会学会自己买每天的必需品。我会学会修理我的电脑。我会学会不再那么依赖别人。我会学会不再投诉那么多。我会学会宽恕。我会学会如何照顾别人。我会学会好好爱人。所以，不需要担心，不需要挂念。我爱你。

From his family:

To all Monash University and Sunway Condo personnel-staff and students:
We, the family of late Choo Jian Yi, would like to convey our heartfelt appreciation to you all for your support, kind words, condolences and wreaths, during our recent bereavement.
From,
Choo Nyuk Lin, Helen and Khi Khi

Let's keep moving on. Use the past as lessons for our future. Time does not heal all pain unless you let go it. Living in the past will only bring miserable life... Lets achieve personal growth...

(After 4 post entry about a friend, guess I should keep on moving)

Sorrowfulness FaceBook

2009-09-19T11:02:00.002+08:00

Always feel it fun to use facebook as there are many funny things going around in it. However, these days, Facebook is sorrowful as one of our friend died.

I just have a short chat with him 3 hours before the incident. I was too busy to layan him. However, now, even i want to layan him also no chance edy. We used to be close friend during MUFY time and first year. He is friendly, cheerful and helpful. Just like me, he is going to finiish the course in few weeks time. The bus stop opposite my school, I will never look at the same way again, as this is the place as my friend met an unfortunate event. When I passed this place yesterday, hot tears rolling out from my eyes. It was here, he was knocked over by a car while crossing the road with a group of friends.

The evening before his death, went to hospital to visit him. He was already in bad condition. Lying in ICU with lots of life support lifelessly expect can see him breathing. Yesterday, after lab we received the fact that he passed away.

Choo Jian Yi
(1987 - 2009)

From this incident, I learned that life is fragile and short. It applies to everyone, my own and anyone else around you. We need to treasure my friends more. Nowadays all of us are busy, and it is until a time like this, we manage to stop for a while and gather around.

Guess I will be meeting more old friends when i attending the funeral. So sad i will be meeting some old friends at a sad atmosphere.

Accident in Malsysia is really fatal. He is not just a statistic figure in the number of cases in the accidents in Malaysia table. But, to us, the friends, guess everyone will be more careful when being a road user.

A video to remember him...

An MSN that will never reply again

2009-09-18T12:49:00.004+08:00

I used to chat with this person quite often. Everytime, when i onlined, will never miss him online cause he usually left his laptop on for 24 hours...

Despite a course mate, he was my lab partner, my study mate, play mate and also a very nice friend.
Due to an accident, I will no longer see this friend jumping around as he used to be...

An MSN that will never ever reply again...

Rest In Peace, my friend... Never thought that I will be attending a friend's funeral so fast.

Come on

2009-09-17T22:43:00.002+08:00

For quite a long time i did not update my blog as i stayed at uni until late these days, with loads of assignment waiting for me to finish it.

Writing paper isn't an easy stuff, especially when u english is veli poor like me...

Today went to hospital to visit my friend who involved in an accident. The last time i step inside an ICU was when my dad was ill. I really don't want to step inside it again. He is quite badly injured, and i am very sad. 3 hours before the incident, he came to the research lab and find me for a short conversation. I was too busy that i hardly talk with him. Now feel so guilty...

I really dun want to experience such thing. Hope all my friends are safe and sound, hope my family are safe and healthy... *pray*

Lets pray hard that he is fine!!

COME ON, GET OUT OF BED AND START JUMPING AROUND LIKE U ALWAYS DO!!!

Merdeka Day

2009-08-31T12:17:00.002+08:00

Ok, it is merdeka day. And it is time to talk about patriotisme.

I love my country...
I love the place is stayed...
I love the food...
I love the mountains, river and sea...
I love the air I breath (no when it is hazy)...
I love my friends around me...
And mostly, I love my family.

I hate those corrupted politicians...
I hate those who does not cherish the peace that we had...
I hate those who are racist...
I hate those lazy bums that do not contribute to the country...
I hate those who give my country a bad name...
I hate those who thinks M'sia is his property as should be for all Malaysians
And mostly, I hate those who destroy my country.

Ok, enough for that. Happy 52nd Merdeka Day

Skytrex

2009-08-30T12:43:00.003+08:00

Even though no pictures describe the event, it was a nice one...

Skytrex are a group of obstacles constructed with cables, planks and ropes, between the trees in the forest. It required balancing and good upper body strength

Firstly, around 10am, we met up at school. Then we head of for bak kut teh as brunch. Again, malaysian timing still apply and some of our friends are late.

After brunch, went back to school to pick up some of the friends. In 3 cars, we headed to skytrex which is located at taman pertanian. GPS is a useful tool as it brough us there in 45 min.

Reaching there, paying our entrance fee, we went to get out cables and hooks. This sports might be bad for guys, as u might hurt ur balls.

After the safety briefing, the journey starts, climbing stairs is what i hated most as no excitement yet tiring. There are other obstacles like flying fox, bridge, monkey bar etc. And seriously, girls can do better as they are better in balancing. The whole journey lasted around 3 hours, as we need to wait for quite long.

It was happy that everyone can finish the route. No chicken out. It is meaningful as everyone has to face their problem themselves. No one can help u excepr yourself. But friends will be beside u to give u support

After that, went for steamboat... Yummy yummy

I lost my camera

2009-08-30T12:34:00.003+08:00

If not because of this event, the blog entry I am typing now will be about skytrex.

I LOST MY CAMERA

I blame myself for my carelessness...
I blame myself for my laziness, for didn't able to copy out the photos and put in my lappy

This is the first time I lost such an expensive stuff
And i swear It would be my last one...

The camera accompany for almost 2 years. Although it is not a long duration, it helps me remember my memory, those fun one and happy one. Up to date, I had taken more than 2k pictures with it and more than 20 videos it it. Although its spec is not a high one, it is usable for me for simple functions

Say bye to loupo number 3... hope I can meet u again...

If i manage to copy out the photos, I wouldn't be that sad...

Disappointed

2009-08-27T08:41:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, the Freescale trip was

D-I-S-A-P-P-O-I-N-T-E-D

Due to H1N1, the trip was cancelled. We were only informed during the 8am lecture on that day itself.

So disappointing...

The past few days

2009-08-25T19:27:00.002+08:00

Doing project!!
Doing lab repoprt
Doing assignment
Study for test
Scratch head how to implement the algorithm
Doing tutorial

It had been another boring week but i swear, the coming weekend must be an interesting one.
I am going for Skytrex!!

Yet another week

2009-08-14T14:53:00.002+08:00

Wow, another week had passed and luckily nothing much happen.

My brother was "quarantined" for the past week WITH ME as one of his friend suffered with H1N1. Don't worry, I am not quarantined but he is. (or maybe u guys worried cause I am a walking disease spreader). He just stay in the same room as me. Luckily nothing happened to him, so I guess I am fine. For the time being, at least.

Watched GI Joe on Monday and it was a nice one. When my friends was talking about it, and they said it was a childhood cartoon, I had no memory about what it is all about. Where had all my childhood memory gone? I wondered.

Finally, my project proceed to the last major part (there are still some minor parts in between, but i guess i can solve those in no time). Hope I can get it to be done in a couple of weeks.

This semester, I found it quite chill as the workload is relatively low, compared to the previous semesters. However, I still spend most of my time in the research lab. Doing research? Yup, research on FB if you counted that as one. =)

Harm 1 Next 1

2009-08-07T20:24:00.002+08:00

Lately, not much updates as nothing interesting happen.

The past few days, busy with my FYP. Quite sad as the project didn't give a satisfied results to me. I just need to work hard, hoping that it will be better next week. The hardwork i put in is not proportion to what i got back. Disappointing indeed.

Planning to go for USA for work and travel after my final semester in university. Hope to see more stuff and learn more stuff. USA is a big and amazing country which i looking forward to see new stuff.

Last week, cases of H1N1 being heard around in school. Starting from Monday, one lecturer claimed that a student of hers infected with H1N1, news of students getting H1N1 become more and more rapid. Fortunately, no one was infected from those infected student in school so far. Most of them got infected by their outside friend.

Today, 1 out of the 6 schools was closed because one of the student was confirmed to infected the disease. I had cold sweat when i heard the news from my bro as it was his friend who was infected. Hope my bro is fine, and so to me.

Something I wanted to say is that, ppl who came back from the other country should quarantine themselves. I know it sounds selfish, but for the sack of the public, pls do so. H1N1 will harm one and find the next one. You doesn't want a school to shut down because of ur selfishness, right??

I forseen my uni will shut down soon, which i really hope it does not happen... By the way, lets remember to keep ourselves live in a hygenic environment.

M'sia vs ManU

2009-07-20T13:13:00.004+08:00

Firstly, claim that I am not a hardcore ManU fans. I just want to experience watching a live football match in the stadium.

The past Saturday, went for M'sia vs ManU match. It was my first soccer match in a stadium, and the it was great.

The players are were warming out. Van der Sar was very friendlyFirst time in Bukit Jalil Stadium. And i was nice. Too bad, typical Malaysian behaviors causes rubbish around.

Fellows in the stadium before the match starts.
Ticket!!
During half time...

Owen
So happy saw Owen. I met the footballer which i always want to meet since Form 2. =)

The match was exciting. It was a draw until the very last minutes. See those ManUians skill where always see on TV. Too bad they hardly tackle the Malaysian players. Heard that i was because of jet lag which cause them lack of sleep.

It was a nice match where M'sia vs ManU : 2-3

Holiday updates

2009-07-15T21:42:00.000+08:00

My last school holiday is coming to the end and these are the stuff i did the past few days...

The past saturday, had gathering with some friends in Mid valley (refer FB for photos). although it had been quite a long time since that last meet up, we still know each other quite well. updated each other with our current situation and exchange information. then shopping with they girls. seems that shopping with girls aren't that bad after all. don't worry, i never felt is a bad thing at the first place. happy that everyone is happy and doing fine.

Today went to my life time first conference, the 1st ASQED. it is not really a very grand one but i was quite amaze by that how industry do their research which we, as a student, will not think of that way of doing things. it might be too technical to me, but i already learned a lot from the conference. hope that more conference are waithing for me, and if possible, i get to travel across the world. don't worry, conference are not only for acedemic purposes.

My next and last semester timetable is out today and it seems pretty fine to me. dun care whether i what time the class starts or ends as it makes no difference to me as i still need to work for my FYP from 9 to 5 everyday, if possible. Btw, results coming out tomorrow and wish me luck. I knew i had tried my best, thus no regrets.

Speaking of FYP, the things aren't going as i wished. Hope i manage to fix the problem asap so that i get to satisfied myself. I know, research work does not gurentee it will always work, but i at least need to do my best before convincing that it is not my fault.

Sick now and i was very quite ill. I looked tired and my supervisor keep asking me whether i am fine. I just have no courage to tell him that i am sick for some reasons. hope can get well soon.

Still holiday so far

2009-07-07T20:14:00.003+08:00

I am still on holiday, but there is not much time for me to slack as i need to do my work for my FYP. However, I still spend some of my time to enjoy my last school holiday.

The past Saturday, went to Gua Tempurung with several friends. No photos received so far. But, it is a nice trip. I enjoyed this adventure a lot. The 4 hours of caving is fun and those big rocks, stalagmite etc are so amazing. Mother nature is the best craftsman. Every piece of arts amaze me a lot.

Since it is holiday, also spend some time watching movies and series. Perfect Cut 2 is quite a nice one. It is a Singapore drama which is about plastic surgery. It shows that what how a same case will have two different ways of seeing it. Guess most ppl will have the same way of thinking as Dr Soul, but Dr Win's way of thinking is another interesting way of thinking. It might not be accepted by most ppl, but it still have its logic behind it.

FYP is an "interesting" one. Hope i can finish everything my time.

WooHoo... ManU coming soon, and I will be going for the match =) Too bad, Ronaldo is not coming =(

Holiday starts, but nothing special

2009-06-27T22:30:00.003+08:00

I am currently in JB but I would be back to Sunway tomorrow...

I had finish my exam on wed, but frankly speaking, i didn't enjoy much of the stuff. Mainly because I need to rush back to JB to settle some of the stuff and rush back to uni to continue my final year project.

Supposing wed shud go for sing K. But maybe because the subject was a tiring one, many of them claimed that they need to have rest, thus ffk. Ok, this i understand...

then, i wanted to watch Transformer, but seems will be alone. Never mind, wait till the dvd is out if i really can't someone to accompany me.

But nvr mind, set some goal for my short break. Will try to finish one book about arts/business...

Hope holiday will be enjoyable.

Last Paper

2009-06-23T16:59:00.002+08:00

Less than 24 hours, I will be sitting in the exam hall doing my exam... Basically, I break my "food" processing process into several parts...

Stage 1: Learn about my "food"
Stage 2: Swallow me "food"
Stage 3: Vomit out everything
Stage 4: Empty in me...

Well, that is perhaps what exam is about...

Good luck in exam everyone... I know the papers are much tougher this sem... but we can do it =)

PS: Marketing, u are my weakest link...

PP

2009-06-21T17:17:00.002+08:00

PP?? What it means?

Plain Paper?
PaPa?
Pork Pie?
Pink Panther?
or Pro Procrastinator was what jeon claimed to be?

No, it is Professional Practice...

Someone in engineering said, engineer should know business stuff as well. Thus, this makes me an 1/4 business student this sem.

I studied management...
I studied finance...
I studied code of ethics...
I studied accounting...
I studied business law...

I am a mighty student :p

黑色星期二

2009-05-07T20:24:00.002+08:00

当我在lab里赶着我的project时，我也用看了一部很不错的戏。

故事的开始已记得不大清楚了，但好像和三只青蛙有关。这三只青蛙其实很重要，但我就是不能记起。也许三只青蛙的“蛙格”一点没什么好说的吧。

接着故事发展到双胞胎的出生。叫什么大成的。哥儿们很像对彼此不大爽。闹到爷爷哪里去，又找外人评理。aiyah，故事很长... 一言难尽。

今天，那哥儿们带了各自的人，来表演马戏团。但其中一方声势较好大，还把团长搬出去，找了新的团长。新的团长，又没做功课，又没什么料，哭着找黑衣叔叔帮忙管理秩序，很逗趣，很可爱。

当看黑衣叔叔的部分时，看得我很怕。因为他们会用很可怕的风扇来吹你。我学校的老师就中了，搞到学生来安慰他。黑衣叔叔怕什么事，还来我学校来看看需不需要帮忙。还好我在赶lab，要不然会看到叔叔们。 http://www1.malaysiakini.com/news/103808

当团长被抬出去的时候，主角，敏朱，也死亡了...
当团长被抬出去的时候，马戏团也暗了...
主角都死了，没戏看了...

大家喜欢这部戏吗？不用和我说。3 年后的奥斯卡再决定比较喜欢谁吧！

当我活着的一天，我希望我心目中的领袖能获胜。

Movie week

2009-05-03T11:41:00.001+08:00

These days, too free (or maybe too lazy), I "wondered" around the student internal sharing network and I found several very interesting movie. Of course this does not include those i watched in cinema.

Muriel's wedding
It is not the very 1st time i watched this movie. In fact, it was my MUFY theme study selected movie and i watched more than 3 times. However, everytime i watched the movie, I learned something new. Personal growth is always something i wanted to achieve in my life everyday, so that i can be a better person.

High School Musical 1,2 ,3
It is always so memorable when watching movies on high school. It was always so fun back in high school, with all friends and buddies around. It is also so sweet when watching romantic stories in school. I like musical film, but not bollywood style (no offence). The songs are so touching and i personally like "Everyday" in High School Musical 2. It was so sweet, energetic and memorable. Too bad, I sing like crow and dance like robot. Low self esteem~~ The leading actor in the movie is handsome and muscular, good in basketball, sing and dance well, and heard that good in studies as well. He has fame and money at such a young age with a very sweet girlfriend. Where got such perfect person??

X-Men: Origin, 1, 2, 3
Besides, musical film, I like scientific fictions. X-men is nice. I think i mentioned some in the previous post.

10 movies in a week~~ my new record...

ps: 5 days more...

1st Post in May

2009-05-01T13:11:00.003+08:00

Time flew and 1/3 or 2009 had passed. And now, i am officially in my favourite month of the year. Thinking back what i did for the last 4 months, it was not that bad after all.

Last week was not that busy but i still spend most of my time on my FYP. I tried to catogorise my project on one of the electrical engineering background but found it difficult. Said is electronic based, but i will not touch any electronics at all. Said is signal processing, i din apply any filters yet. Mostly by now, i am going some data mining job which i find it quite interesting so far.

Watched Wolverine yesterday and was A-W-E-S-O-M-E. Didn't know that the name "Wolverine" is so meaningful. Hugh Jackman is as macho as always. Hope my friend dun fall too much in love with him. Hehe...

Today is labor day, and i had been slacking for the whole morning. Is irony when the day was called labor day, yet i am slacking around. Hope dun be a slacker like liping. Feel that i need to have a good rest after getting to bed so late and wake up so early for the passed few weeks. Well, better get something to do in the evening. Let's go laboring...

Anyone noticed i changed the theme song of my blog. I loved this song very very very^infinity much. Just to share to u guys. It is a song in one of the popular HK cantonese drama. SO touching, the song.

Planning to have something special on my blog in the coming 10 days. Just to share something with my friends on my blog. Pls look forward for it.

p.s.: Justin, initially typed something about the ending of wolverine, but guess, better dun be a spoiler as promised. hehe

My FYP

2009-04-25T22:31:00.003+08:00

This weekend, I am not that busy, but still got lots of stuff to do. The most interesting stuff to do is my final year project.

for so long, i wanted to write a long and nice MATLAB code. However, so far, non of my assignments make me feel satisfied with my desire.

Finally, my fyp requires me to use it. And i will be writing lots of M-files. OMG, can't wait to finish.

Hopefully by the end of the year, i will hate MATLAB, as how i hate chocolate =)

ISFJ

2009-04-18T22:12:00.005+08:00

Titus sent me a personal test and after doing this, i was listed as an ISFJ!!

I had done many personal test and this is not a very interesting one, but i was amuse by the results. Ok, not accuracy of the test, but is the way your results was presented.
Introverted (I) P%Extraverted (E) 100-P%
Sensing (S) Q%Intuitive (N) 100-Q%
Feeling (F) R%Thinking (T) 100-R%
Judging (J) S%Perceiving (P) 100-S%

You can wiki what ISFJ means!! haha. They don't tell u what i means from the results, unless u wiki it. Doing some maths, there are 2^4 combinations. Means there are 16 types of people in this world. Lol.

Of course, this is much more convincing than most of the Facebook quizes. Lol...

This results reminds me on my FYP, as I am going to do something like that!! Probability, "interesting"...

My life is like a MATLAB code

2009-04-16T09:27:00.002+08:00

Although is break, i experienced the most tiring week in this semester.

while (days == holiday){
if (time == 8.00am)
woke up by my roommate
if (time == 8.30am)
nerd at lib
if (time == 12pm)
lunch =)
if (time == 5.30pm)

sleep
}

Hope there is bug in the written program, so the program can stop executing

Busy Easter Break

2009-04-13T10:11:00.003+08:00

This Easter break is my most busiest break that i ever have

having 1 assignment (report + presentation) , 2 test, 1 lab report and my project to work on, i time for it to get all done is not much. hope i can get all done in time.

Saturday went to see my friend's swimming competition in mmu cyberjaya. the school is a big and quite new one, and i like the school more, compare to the Malacca campus. however, i believe it is very quiet and that is why most of my friends stay in Malacca.

yesterday went to PC fair in KLCC and there were lots of ppl. jam from outside to inside, from morning tonight, could see how people gone crazy on PC related stuff. I bought myself a mp3 anyway, and i will take good care of it.

ok, continue with my assignment!!

People do change

2009-04-13T10:05:00.000+08:00

Today, from a friend, only I realised that these years I had change quite a lot.

I used to be someone who always keep everything in myself and making myself shut. Everyday, I had full of sadness behind my smile. However, since college, i spoke up my minds straight most of the time (of course not always). I will straight away tell you how i feel. maybe i will show it in a very obvious way to tell u that: I AM UNHAPPY.

ok, this might be not a good thing as might cause some misunderstanding sometimes. I will try my best to control my temper. However, i can say, these days my temper is much much better.

Trying to make myself always in a happy mood these days, and i found that I have quite a lot of improvement. Despite the stress that Mr Rigid gave me few weeks ago, I found that my mood isn't that bad. Although the school workload increases dramatically these few weeks, I am quite enjoying it, as i know that I am not alone. It is the company that counts.

Everytime I am quite down, happy that there is "someone" who i can tell my feelings to. I will type on it, many of my friends will come and left some comments about it. A short "cheer up" comments means a lot for me =)

It is YOU, my friends that keep me walking until today... I feel lucky to have a nice family and good friends around me. =)

Hope i can grow stronger and mature...

Post April Fool entry

2009-04-02T19:34:00.002+08:00

Finally found some mood to update my blog.

It was April fool yesterday and we managed to prank on a friend. He is a nice person, thus he won't be angry to us gua~~ Sorry, Jun Wei for playing with your water!!

Week 5 has almost ended and I am getting busier and busier. 2 test coming soon and one assignment awaiting to be submitted. This does not include my consistently-need-to-work-on-it FYP. However, i quite enjoy this semester so far.

After next week is my mid-sem break. Still considering whether going back JayBee for the break or not. Initially wanted to plan some trip with my friends, but, no news...

The sky is clear

2009-03-20T19:47:00.002+08:00

Thanks to Mr Rigid, finally my FYP problem is solved.

Of course, during this period, i recieved quite some few advices from friends. Glad that I am not alone facing the problem alone.

I would like to point out how this problem affected me. This problem had caused me unable to sleep soundly at night and unable to concentrate in class for the past few days and had really affected my studies. I had gone through these unnecessary stress because of the rules and regulations set by someone without letting other people know about it. The communication breakdown has caused me and my friend the biggest victims of this incident as our FYP progress are badly delayed.

I am not trying to blame anyone in this incident and I am glad that this is all over.

Some might say that I need not fight so hard on this minor thing as it will not affect my future career at all. However, I felt that I am not being respect at all in this incident and I will fight for my rights. However, there are sometime I feel defected but I manage to climb up with some support. It is my education who I responsible to. Even my parents did not force me to do something which I don't like, what position is him in to force me?? In order to get something that I wanted, I had followed the procedures that are long and winded which now affected my FYP progress. These rules and prodecures is just trying to scare people away and I am glad that I manage to go through that with some helps. If now we don't make things right, the coming junior will be affected as well and unpleasant stuff will continue happen endlessly.

Thanks for everyone who help me and support me in the incident.

After a rain, the sky outside is finally clear. And, I have no time to waste.

PS: I was amased by the Masters and Doctors fight.

2009-03-18T18:43:00.002+08:00

For so long in my life, i didn't want to cry so much.

As always, whenever I feel like to cry, I will hold back my tears.

As always, when i to find someone to talk with, I can't find a suitable one

This time, I can't hold. I cried in my blog. Not in real life of course, as u never get a chance to see.

Tears full with disappointment.

Week 2

2009-03-15T11:15:00.002+08:00

After one week of chilling week, i started my really hectic schedule of my 7th semester in Monash.

Control is damn damn sien. The lecturer is a part time lecturer from UM and now i know what does people mean by traditional teaching method. I don't really like his style of teaching, but can't blame him. He don't know our university system and he was familiar to the old way. However, i can tell that he really try hard to make us understand.

FYP is the one stuff that make me wanted to say: ftw. It is not because the difficulty of the project. It is due to the f**king coordinator that allocate project to students with his "sophisticated algorithm". Everyone in my course want to break his computer hoping that the algorithm will die as the computer goes. However, my problem was solved now, thanks to my supervisor. She is indeed a nice person. Hope she really helps me. After flipping through the project relevant materials, i can say, signal processing is hard man!! 1D already quite a big problem, now I need to deal with 2D.

Optical communication is fun!! I love the subject. Hope I can say the same thing until I finish my final exam. You know, the devil on the other side is not easily pleased.

Profession practise is sien. I hate those stuff, but hope i can use it in the future :)

Yesterday the ManU vs Liverpool match was crazy. A big disgrace to ManU!!

This sem got to be fun!!

First Week

2009-03-08T13:59:00.002+08:00

This first week in uni is really my honeymoon week. Every unit started with easy materials and no labs, no tutes.

When i come back from, school, I will be facing my laptop watching numerous of movies, series and listen to many songs. Chilling around.

Having different types of sport games with my coursemate, and of course is fun. Going around for food and of course, Malaysia food is still the best.

For the coming weeks, my Mondays will be free as well. Means I only go for school 4 days a week. However, 3 out of 4 days I have 8am class. Although my mondays are off, I believe that I will spend my time mostly on research project.

First week... still chilling~~

Decision making...

2009-03-05T16:28:00.002+08:00

Decision making is not an easy thing. Unless you are totally bored, and nothing to do, pls don't read the below stuff cause I am just trying to find somewhere to type what I am thinking...

These days, quite headache in choosing thesis and elective for my semester. I need to think thoroughly as I want my degree to be as variety as possible.

Thesis is quite an easy one to decide, cause the topic that the lecturer gave me is quite interesting. Besides, it is the area of expertise which i want to involve in and the most important: It is a novel research project. It will be one step further to what i always wanted. Initially, I would like to start a new blog to discuss more technical stuff if you are interested (I suppose not many people will), but due to NDA, I won't do so.I had to keep my mouth shut. Haha~

For the elective one, it is a headache. There are pros and cons in choosing between both subject. One is optical communication and one is telecommunication protocol. The previous one is more advanced while the later is to the technologies these days.

Besides depending on how to make my degree more variety (ie, I hope I have equal knowledge on telecommunication, control, power, electronics and computer system), I need to consider the lecturer, the work load, the resources, the way the course is presented. The difficulty of the course will only be a small part in my consideration. Not that I am trying to say I am smart, just that I believe it will be fine if I willing to work hard. If some of my friends can overload, why can't I study one difficult one?

After considering, I had finally made up my mind.

School Reopen

2009-03-03T17:16:00.003+08:00

I had been two days after my school had reopened. Basically, we are still in our holiday mode.

Despite there is no labs and tutes, the material covered in lecture is not that much. Thus, we still enjoy our final year....

But, i think the nightmare will start tomorrow, cause... Final Year Project briefing is on tomorrow.

By that time, everyone will try to compete to get the easiest and interesting topic, or maybe select the most helpful supervisor.

After that, everyone will busy doing their projects and do assignment...

I forseen my coming sem like this...

*Dunno why suddenly feel so down. Perhaps the cc make me feel sick~~

Back for Final Year

2009-03-01T10:04:00.003+08:00

After a long break of 4 months, finally, I am back to Sunway to continue for my study. It will be my final year and I will finish my course in around 9 months time.

It is a Sunday morning, and I am sitting in the foyer onlining. Can't online in my room as it requires 3 working day to manage my online application. Unlike in Aus, it just require 1 hour to do so.

Started to feel that my final year will be the most sien year in my 4 years in Monash. Hopefully my final year project can keep me busy for most of the time. Can't wait to get start with it.

Can't wait to see my friends tomorrow after around one year didn't have class here. However, my class starts at 8am tomorrow. Can i manage to wake up??

Singapore Trip

2009-02-24T22:30:00.003+08:00

Today went to Singapore. Adventure, I will call cause I need to go through the new custom building, take MRT to Orchard Road, and come back from Singapore, all alone!!

Ok, it is not a big deal for some of you, but at least I am please that I manage to do it. Applause to me...

Went to Singapore, despite making my holiday more colorful, I went to find my aussie friend, Carmen there. Manage to find Lyn Ley, Beng and Nick, and now is Carmen. She is still the same pattern, except the fact that she looks skinny now.

The new custom is quite a beutiful building. However, I dare not estimate the amount of money they used to build the building as I am not good in estimate the value of such big and nice government building. The only thing I wanted to complain is that it is like a level one maze with lots of walking. My leg is aching now (other reasons see beneath)

Wait for 3 hours for her (Yeah, 3!! Dunno how many times I walk along the orchard road), she finally arrived. Can't blame her for the long wait, cause there are some miscommunicating between us. But anyway, she brought me to Vivocity after meeting up at Orchard. I like Vivocity very much and I rated it as the best shopping mall that I ever went in Singapore so far. Although raining, the trip is still quite nice.

Around 6, I need to take the MRT and bus back. You know la~~ 6pm la~~ a lot of people la~~ have to stand in MRT and bus la~~ Then need to walk the maze-like building back to JB.

Nice trip and hope other aussie friends that I didn't manage to meet have a nice new year in Uni~~

PS: the curry chicken rice that I ate for lunch really sucks. This is the first time i so hate curry so much. Irony, there is a cert writing: Best voted number 2. So dissapointing

Nice Penang and Ipoh Trip

2009-02-23T20:38:00.001+08:00

Just come back from KL, and the 5 days trips are so fun.

The passed two days, went to Ipoh and Penang with my friends. These two places are well-known for its food and the food i tried are: A-W-E-S-O-M-E. The only strange part for me is that I had ais kacang as breakfast.

Thanks Evone for bringing us around at Ipoh. The hor fun is great, and is the best that I tried so far. Thanks Nick for booking the nice accommodation and thanks Beng for bringing us to the end of The End of the World. But i like the char kueh tiao the most!

Thanks Jun Wei for driving me around and thanks Whei Jin for keeping Jun Wei awake during the journey. However, it is quite dangerous leh~~ Thanks June to go through the dangerous moments when both the fronts seat people are fighting!! haha... We had lots of fun in the car~~

Thanks for organise this trip and I look forward to see you guys again!! School reopen in one week time, and my holidays left are number... Penang has quite a nice trip and of course, the great accompany provided by you guys that make my holiday being colored before school reopen.

Wonder what's next??

PS: sorry no photos cause busy eating. I will get from Justin and upload on FB. Hope i remember to do so.

chilling in KL

2009-02-20T08:41:00.002+08:00

these days, I came to KL. Besides moving my stuff to my going-to-be accommodation, I also meet up some friends.

The day i arrived KL, met up some aussie friends. Having chat at curve and is quite enjoyable, cause as last time, we got endless stuff to chat on.

Yesterday was quite a bomb. From singing K (i know, i still sing like crow. people started to make fun of me. haha... but i quite long time didn't sing edy mah~~), playing bowling (didn't play, cause sprain my wrist) and having dinner, I enjoyed it very much.

Today~~ nothing to do. Just chilling around la~~

It ends today!!

2009-02-13T21:28:00.002+08:00

It really require some mood to type a blog entry. After so many days didn't really type a proper blog about my life, today finally "squeeze" out some mood to type this blog entry...

After 10 weeks of working, finally end my working life. I can said that this is much a happier working experience than my last job, however, as always, I won't have any feeling about it. Not even a bit sad. Cold blood indeed.

Anyway, today is quite a fine and easy-going day. Online and chat, finish my very last bit of report, manager give me a treat in Secret Recipe, a very rare occasion i treat the colleagues some tidbits, played several minesweeper games... Easy!!

As always, 天下无不散之宴席, hope I can keep on walking down the remaining life, not alone of course...

After intern, in 2 weeks time i will start my school. Of course, I have lots of plan to carry out. Thinking about those stuff that I need to do makes me lost. Hope someone can do all the stuff with me. Pray!!

Tomorrow, I think i will accompany my "lou po" at home, and be a 宅男. MSN, FB, PPS will be my best mate...

Happy valentine

变天行动

2009-02-06T20:31:00.007+08:00

有谁会想到一个连预告片都没有的《变天行动》竟然在大年初一在霹雳州来抢贺岁片的摊呢？霹雳州人民，用308的选票，换来了这张戏票。

看了某人的评论去看了周星驰的《审死官》。这部戏是我最喜欢的电影之一。当中提到：贪官奸，清官就要比他们更奸。清官如果要捉贪官，一定要比贪官更狠。这就是为什么Lah伯想肃贪但也无能为力。

N先生比他硬了许多。这部《变天行动》，从一手策划，到找人演出都可见他又导又演的天分，不愧是大马的未来领袖。尤其是那场记者会上的戏，说了那么多虚伪的话，也不会脸红和心虚，叫我佩服佩服。找来的4名演员喜剧天分更佳，说了那么多谎话，但那么容易就知道在说谎，不知道是在考大家的智力还是旨在博君一笑。

许姐的角色更是吃重。英哥就称他为吴三桂。许姐在这场戏中扮演压死骆驼的最后一根稻草。人们（尤其是华人），都在讨论他的角色呢！陈某对许姐戏里的角色有些意见。陈某认为，党怎么辜负你，也不要辜负人民。一时之错把人民的信任出卖了，到头来人们还不是把你当千古罪人。要做独立，就真正独立吧！

这戏里更是戏中有戏。穿插了大家熟悉的《无间道》。只能说如有雷同，纯属巧合。当然他跳来跳去的做法和许姐的角色一样，背叛人民的信任，但他的批评比许姐的少了很多。谁叫人们心中都有两把尺呢？

可以看到B阵为了权利不惜一切。谁能保证N先生不会用更硬的手段来保证B阵在来届全国大选中继续执政呢？毕竟Lah伯比较温和而才有《308》的上映。如果要换政府，还是大家还是小心为妙。记住，安居要思危。

PS: 我好像被“强奸”了！是“青蛙”干的！

Holiday Over

2009-02-01T21:06:00.002+08:00

Here, I reluctantly announced that my Chinese New Year holiday is over and I will be starting my "hectic" working schedule tomorrow.

This CNY is fun and I enjoyed it a lot. Despite realising that the needle of my weighting scale goes up A LITTLE BIT when i step on it, i enjoyed every moment.

Everytime, I have something which I can't think of, I like to find someone to ask for opinion. And I found the person i like to ask opinion with is Mr Titus. He is one of the wise guys that i meet and he is quite an optimistic person. Chatting with him will hint me on my problems. Of course, Jun Wei is also one person cause always kena zha by me. :p

Ok, 2 more weeks for intern and exactly 4 more weeks before my school holidays end. I swear, I will appreciate every moment of my last year.

Taurus in the Ox Year

2009-01-30T23:25:00.003+08:00

It is Chinese New Year again, and as usual, busy always.

Lunar New Year Eve:
Reunion Dinner

1st day of CNY:
Go temple

2nd day of CNY:
helping in my mother's father's (Grandpa's) house open

3rd day of CNY:
House hopping with friends

4th day of CNY:
pray for my father's father's (Grandpa's) death anniversary

5th day of CNY:
finally get some rest

Every year, the schedule is almost the same. As I am getting older and older, i don't looking forward CNY as i do when I was a kid. When i was a kid, cny is a time where we can eat lots of goodies and collecting angpows. However, now it is finally some time where we can get some good rest.

In the Ox year, hope that I can control my emotion well. Don't be as stubborn as an ox. But hope that I am as hardworking as, as determine as an ox.

When going to temple, normally the nun will give some words to me as an advice. Different from the past few years, I want some advice on something specific this year (for the past few year, I just receive the advice without any thoughs) and in return, this is my answer:

至道无难

惟嫌拣择

但莫憎爱

洞然明白

What a coincidence!!

Details on how the advices are given:
People in the temple will put some pre-printed advices in red packets. All the advices are different. And one by one, we will go out to recieve the red packet from the nun. In other words, these advices are quite randomly given to everyone.

Last year, my advice was quite random as I don't know what it means. A teacher told me that, if you have a question in your heart, this advice is a guide to you. Now, I have some thoughts in my mind, and this is quite a nice guidance to me. I keep on thinking of which choice should I made in my life. It is just like the Road Not Taken which we learned in Form 4. I am now in a situation which I need to make choices in life and I was asking around, hope that I can get a certain answer. But, seems that there is no certain answer for such choices. It really depends on me. Both routes seems nice to me, but I don't know which to choose. Although this advice does not tell me which route should I take, it told me what attitude should I have when making choices.

Happy Chinese 牛 Year

Happy Moo Year

2009-01-25T17:18:00.002+08:00

It is chinese new year again, and I would like to wish all my friends and beloved blog readers...

~Happy Moo Year~

Doer and Dreamer

2009-01-24T23:32:00.002+08:00

Today scan through web, found that someone at my age already has his own business and started earning money. He is actually my friend and his success doesn't amaze me.

Everytime, he will talk about business to us. But that is just on theory. He has good social skills which I never doubt. Besides, his family is so different from the families i know. His father, mother, sis and bro are so cool.

Now, he is different. Those business theory he learned, he applied. He is a doer. He had achieved great success. Maybe in the process he got some problems which i doesn't know, but he still achieve good success. He even giving talks about his success.

Suddenly realised how much time i have wasted. Better plan my own future now... Thanks for all the advices I recieved. From all friends and family. Thanks a lot. I don't want to be just a dreamer.

心跳

2009-01-20T21:38:00.005+08:00

想跟我吵架我没那么无聊

不懂得道歉我没那么聪明

好想要回到我们的原点

你又在哭泣我给不了安慰

我又在摇头有那么点后悔

爱情的发展已难以回头却无法往前走

但身不由己出现在胸口

两颗心能塞几个问号

爱让我们流多少眼泪

你的眼神充满美丽带走我的心跳

你的温柔如此靠近带走我的心跳

逆转时光到一开始能不能给一秒

等着哪一天你也想起那悬在记忆中的美好

感言：

很喜欢这首歌，但自己毕竟没有到这地步过。最近有两个很要好的朋友，已有心上人了。为他们开心，也为自己难过。虽然他们没什么和我说，但我对别人的这些事都蛮敏感的，很多时候，往往不需问，从小小的细节已能知道一些来龙去脉。在这里，祝福你们。
