Unleashing a brand new ME

First week@ Klang

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Thu, 20 May 2010 11:51:00 +0000

Hi all..!! It's been a long time since i updated my blog. Initially i was really in the mood to update my blog each and everyday until i left Sabah. Due to the lousy modem problem, back at KF house, my determination has slowly faded. Wakakakka.. another lame excuse.. :P

I am officially an unemployed graduate with no JOB..! Even though today is the 3rd day since i came back, but i haven't really settle down yet. There are so many freaking interviews to attend and so many things to settle... Gosh...!

The moment when i stepped down from LCCT, everything seem a bit weird... The feeling was like totally different from previous flight.. Hmm.. i don't know how to describe it.. And yea, i really hate to drive in peninsular.. Unlike in Sabah, where basically nobody will bully me even if i drive slowly.. The case is totally different back at here... Once you drive too slow,

First stage : they will start to get closer to you as if they gonna hit you..
Second stage : They will flash you..
Third stage : They gonna overtake you and give you a "f-king" face... @#$@#$@#

This was what i experienced when i drove my car back from LCCT.. not only once but twice.. Damn.. I gonna be more fierce next time..! Orang penisular nie memang ganas-ganas belaka...

Anyway, i had just gone through 2 interviews and there will be another interview on next week.. Thanks to the good economy progress, the outcome of these 2 interviews seem quite ok kot. I can see that they desperately need more engineers. But at this moment, i shall keep my finger cross as i have yet to receive any confirmation from them.. Hopefully can get it lar.. :)

For the first time and during the interview, they complained that my appearance look rather "fashionable". Should i be proud or? haha.. >< He requested me to change my hairstyle for the second interview..

And initially i planned to comb it this way but i just couldn't stand on how DUMB i look like half decade ago...

Wahhhh.....

So i ended up with this style... A hybrid of 5 years ago de hairstyle + current hairstyle... Looks great kan kan?

Macam mata sengek leh...

Ermm... this is a promise to a special guest.. Or else i will kena kao kao liao... wakakkakaa....

Due to unavailability of internet access, i can only update my blog right now. The past 2 days were pretty "song" as i spent most of my time staying in Tune hotel with unholy KF gang for FOC. =) Once again, thank you brother Doh for everything.

Welcome to tune hotel...

Due to having final examination the next day, I must admit that the first day wasn't that enjoyable. I got no choice but to force myself to study AND to to resist all evil temptation inside this room which include the hot powerful shower bath...

Studying on the 5 star bed wasn't a wise choice...

We occupied 8 rooms in total with one person per room..

After our 2nd paper, I had an outing with my coursemates. =) Overall the paper was OK. Thank God that this paper was much more easier than mid term... So there is only one last paper to go on next Tuesday..!

It will be the last time for us to gather in such place...

Delicious coconut pudding + Lokam?

Pooling Caregroup...

what a poser....

Packing all my messy belongings...

While packing my belongings, i came across with this DVD...

It's my favourite The Sims 2 game with Jenna's writing..

I had a mild headache when i woke up this morning, it's probably due to having too much of sleep... See? I am really enjoying my life right now and almost each and everyday, i have more than 9 hours of sleep in total. Even though the exam is just around the corner, ermmm... not really that corner, it's tomorrow, I am still having my sweet time enjoying my life.

I just don't have the mood and motivation to study for tomorrow's exam, furthermore it's an open book exam, so there is nothing to memorise at all. So what have i done today?

I installed sim city and played it for hours..!

Preparing my VIVA slides..

And afternoon, I had brunch with my fellow unholy gang and guess what? Due to some technical errors, one of the brother has mistakenly booked the wrong timing for both the accommodation and mount climbing date for his clients. Therefore he offered all of us a free stay at Tune Hotel for 2 days and 2 nights..!!

And he even offered us a free trip to climb mount kinabalu... FOC FOC..!! But i gotta say i am very "Am Tui", due to having PC exam the next day, i am unable to join the climb. That's the update for today... Tune Hotel, here i come..!

Quote of the day "No worry, the exam slip is inside my pencil case already... hahaha..."

It's a blessed Sunday..! As usual, the unholy KF brothers will always come late for Sunday Service. Knowing that i would not be concentrating for preaching, i skipped it altogether and went to next hall to prepare my "liang cha". Thank God and thank God again that the demand for my "xia hua chao" was pretty good to the point that it finished within an hour. Thumbs up for myself..

And tonight, i had MacD as my dinner. Yaya, i know MacD isn't good for health especially when they reused the oil for so many times. But just once in a blue moon lar okie? haha.. While i spent my 2 hours at MacD, i saw a mother with 3 kids.. One of the cute little girl almost resemble my naughty niece. It's been almost half a year since they left for the state and i am still missing that little monster so badly. I miss the day where she would shout "sai gugu" out loud whenever i come back from work...

Anyway, it's a D-day for our nation. Once again the corrupted BN government won the recent election. And again, i am leaving for mamak...

This is the day of low productivity..! Even though i spent almost half of my day-span at library, but i could barely absorb anything. I can't even answer a simple APC question...

Anyway, today i have a 6 credit hours of preparing "liang cha" for tomorrow's fundraising activity. This is the first time where i need to prepare for a freaking 100 ppl..! In other words, i gotta repeat the same process over and over again. Initially i was quite reluctant to accept such offer, moreover now is the exam period pula... But when i think back how this church has blessed me.... i should have contributing something before i leave... =)

I find it hard to pronounce "xiao hua chao"

Packing it one by one...

The super thick "liang cha"

Liang cha exchanged with "dunno what thing" edy.... Thanks Pijja heng..!!

Naughty face or seductive face? hmm...

That's the update for today... I am leaving for mamak now....!!

Quote of the day "It's always nice to have someone to share anything with you... =)" ^^

Waking up as early as 10am to have our APC discussion with my coursemates... Gosh, advanced process control is pushing me beyond my limit. To be frankly, i really dislike this subject but somehow, i don't know how, i choose this course as my one of my major. Whenever we have any APC discussion, i am probably the sloooooowest guy to understand the actual concept. And sometime i wonder whether should i accept the offer as a process engineer if i am offered such post?? >.<

This afternoon, there were 2 companies phoned me and required me to attend face to face interview at peninsular. But one of the drawback for being an "oversea" graduate is the difficulty in attending job interview. For students like us, unless the job interview sounds promising, sometime we have to reject the interview after considering the cost involved which could cost up to RM 500++ Imagine you have to purchase 2 air flight tickets immediately..!! What about other hidden costs? hmmm....

Anyway tonight i spent a quality time with my both churchmates and coursemates....

Gathering kat kampung E

Fish & chip + human hair...

Quote of the day, "Do not test me beyond my limits, i will never bow down to any threats..." Good night..... =)

It's indeed a very special day for me, waking up early in the morning at 7am++ and had a short trip right up to the cold refreshing place... ^^ Although there were only a few of us. I did enjoy it a lot. Especially having the free fish massage session surrounded by mother nature and a great companion. I really like the way my feet feel to the touch with these fishes. And now my feet are becoming much more smooth and soft.. Haha...

It was raining heavily when we're on the way back to KK and i realised that i have gradually fallen in love with Sabah. It's certainly a nice place to stay (after retirement) but in terms of future job prospect? No way... Unless there is a MNC company herein Sabah which wanted to employ me lar..

Anyway, i just came back from mamak again. With this current rate of mamak-ing of almost everyday, i'm gonna gain back my weight very soon. Well, we chatted for about 2 hours and mostly complaining about SKTM's lecturer attitude with a church mate which eventually become an Utar lecturer. That's all for Day 24... Good night Sabah and hello Klang..!!

xoxoxo..! =)

Let's face it no one is perfect..! And yes, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.. We gotta have mutual respect and understanding to one another... In other word, we complement each other in every way.. As for myself, i have such a horrible sense of direction. But instead of hiding it, Thank God that i found acceptance of my weakness... am i? I am pretty sure about it... =)

Kundasang again....

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 17:54:00 +0000

Guys, it's been a long time since i wrote a proper post.. Let's take a look on what happen for the past few weeks.. =)

All the while, i seldom mingle around with my church friends until the very last semester of my uni life... Last time, whenever i mix with them, i have this feeling of having to partially fake my myself and not to show the real me; that is gotta be more polite, no gossiping, holy, holy and Holy..!

The infamous Holy-less KF churchmates...

But starting from this semester, it started to change and i realised they are in fact, not really that Holy kot.. hahaha.. And now i am spending most of my time with them be it playing pool, swimming session, having dinner together or even for a short trip like Kundasang...

This is a dog but her name is miao miao.. weird huh?

I always thought it is sinful to consume alcoholic drinks until they convinced me that it's OK to consume it with the condition that you are not DRUNK..

That's our mini bar.. Black label plus lots of Carlsberg...

We had our steamboat session as our dinner....

Me, preparing breakfast....

This place is so zen....

Breathtaking view..! yan yan gonna like this place......

Pirates..!

That's what the almighty HIM did for us 2010 years ago... amen....

One of the most beautiful waterfall that i have ever seen...

While on the way to the waterfall, we were told that there were a few wild boars seeking for food....

That's for today.. Good night....

The beginning of the new Chapter...

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:02:00 +0000

This is the day that the Lord has made, we will rejoin and be glad in it... Lol, this is actually a praise song which suddenly came across my mind.. Anyway, don't let the unforeseeable future controls and restricts our emotion, instead be thankful for what you have right now because most of our choices make very little difference to what we can reasonably foresee... 13 April will be the beginning of a new chapter and there would be many obstacles that lie ahead of us... I have finally overcome my fear.... have you? ^^

^o^

Cowboy theme...

It was a great appreciation night for all the seniors. Thanks to all my junior for this memorable night.. ^^, I did really enjoy it a lot. Anyway it is 4am in the middle of the night.... As i was just about to fall into deep sleep, i got a surprise..!! I was pretty shocked and i thought it was just my hp alarm clock pula... but it turned out to be lalalala... lido lido.. hahaha... Good night ya... ^o^

The day after today..

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:56:00 +0000

The last time when i took a job interview seriously was like a year ago, that's when i was applying for internship program with Shell. Although i did pass the interview, but it seems like they have forgotten me... When i think back, perhaps i should be thankful for them or else i wouldn't join TG. I did enjoy my internship at TG especially when you have a whole bunch of friendly and caring friends around you.

And just one week ago, there was another company who had a phone interview session with me. Overall that interview was just "OK". Ok in the sense that i did not much preparation on it. I was like interview it for the sake of "interview". When they asked me to talk something about myself, without giving a second thought, i said "my name is kevin khoo.... i am the youngest among 4 siblings.. I enjoy... bla bla bla.." That was like S.W.E.A.T... that's not the proper answer at all...

Just a few days ago, i received another job interview. This time i have to fly back personally to attend it face to face and Thank you Sis for sponsoring me the air flight tickets. I will repay it back soon to your princess IF only i got the Job offer.. hahaha... Anyway, unlike previous job interview, this time I take it very seriously. Saying says that "attending an interview without preparation is like taking a test without studying". I gotta agree with it..

Not forgetting all the preparation will not be possible without this laptop. And a big thanks to the owner of this laptop... ^^ lalalala... But too bad, the desktop is getting messy..

Documents, photos and all the preparation... + the pinky messy laptop..

My 22 pages thick interview bible.. >.<

So wishing me all the best and may the Holy spirit continue to guide upon me. Amen..

SUEY..!!!

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:25:00 +0000

I am lost, during such a critical time, both my HP and Laptop spoil...!! For the past 2 weeks, nothing seems to be running smoothly.. Firstly, my laoya digi HP has some hardware problem and officially declared brain dead. And today, after paying rm 40 to fix it at CP, i was so excited to be able to use it again, unfortunately, it just last for like a few hours before terminating its own life AGAIN... My rm 40 just gone like that..

Ever since my HP problem, my nightmare starts to haunt me for like a few weeks. It doesn't stop even at the moment when i am writing this blog. And a few days ago, i have some problems with my FYP. Apparently, my membrane module performance does not meet my expectation. And now i have to find another materials to solve it.

And of course, if i am so freaking emo just because of the small cases which i mentioned above, i am really immature. The "mother of all SUEYNESS" happened yesterday. It happened right in front of me and my coursemate. My "Laptop" has sort of self ignition and it was on fire..!! It didn't just burnt once, but twice before i pulled out the adapter. That's when i quickly rushed it to Karamunsing (thanks shally) a.k.a Low yat of KL where it was declared dead. Gosh, no words can described my feelings at that moment, i decided to continue to practice for dance, hoping that i can at least cheer up myself by sweating.

So now what? I was hoping that at least part of his organs can be salvaged. Initially i was relieved when i realised his brain (hard disc) was still functioning. Then i quickly purchased a cover for this fragile brain. I was thanking God for salvaging the most valuable part of this laptop. But then again, when we suey, we will continue to suey like no ending.. When i was trying to access this "brain", i was unable to open it due to security problem. Now what? All my final semester stuffs are inside this hard disc and i couldn't access it.

Well, there is something really bothering me just now, in such a freaking emo period, apparently someone has just taken out my RAM out of my laptop and placed it on his own laptop without asking my permission. I was totally speechless and i couldn't do anything. I was still in devastated state when i realised my HP cannot function again. Come on, my laptop had just spoiled yesterday and now you are taking advantage on my "sueyness"? Can you at least just let me calm down for a few days ka? This fellow can actually trying to negotiate the price of my RAM, rm 30 for 1g ram.. is that a good price? I don't know and don't have the mood to check it.. The feeling was like your love has just passed away and he is asking when can he get his fortune the next day.

What now? I am totally speechless... I am freaking emo now that i borrowed my friend car to get myself to beach and then to CC to online. If i stay inside my house, volcano is going to erupt very soon. And yea, after crapping out at here, i felt much more better. That's the power of blogging.. :) Hoping for a nice trip to Kota Belud tomorrow. God bless me..

Stuffy Nose : SINUS

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:06:00 +0000

For those who have known me well, i have a super sensitive nose. And for the past 2 decades, i never really bother about this problem. And ever since i was born, i use my mouth to breathe more than i use my nose. The reason is simple, 90% of the time, my nose is totally blocked..!! That's freaking irritating. Just imagine that you are having flu each and everyday for 24 years..!!

And NO WAY, I don't want this problem continue to haunt the rest of my life. Something has to be done... For the pass 24 years, i have been suffering for:
1. Unable to sleep in air cond room
2. Unable to breath properly
3. Snoring (Base on the feedback of various groups of friends..)
4. Cough in the middle of the night
5. Freaking dry mouth especially when i wake up from sleep

Not only that, it has affected one of my gifting in term of "slang"-ing. That is voice changes during presentation. Just click here for sample. Note that for the first 30 scds, my voice is quite ok, but as i proceed, my voice started to change due to nose blockage. That's the problem with it and i wanna get rid of it. It just like as if you stuck both your nose holes and trying to do a presentation or debate.

Not only that, i am unable to give my best performance at NEWAY. This is one of the thing that irritate me the most.. Unless i keep on jumping while singing, drink some hot drink or constantly feeding some light foods (That's why i always eat and eat and eat in ktv..) into my mouth, my nose will surely block inside the cold KTV room. I definitely can sing better if only my nose never blocked in the middle of singing process.

The blockage is not due to the accumulation of mucus or any other things, after much research, i came to this conclusion that my sinus passage is too narrow. Means that my nose can suddenly block for no apparent reason. You don't see any mucus and etc. It just "block" like that. Arghghghg... >.< style="font-weight: bold;">motivation for me to fix it ASAP... It ruins my life..

Random Post

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 20:49:00 +0000

My personal blog is getting famous? Recently there is something strange going on with my blog. Apparently there are several unknown "fans" start linking their porn website either on my shoutout box or comment.

Not only that, it seems like my fan base has grown from Malaysian ONLY to International fans ranging from Moscow to Middle east. @.@ I never know that i am so "Famous". And yea, i start to concern about my privacy because basically this is the place where i crap out everything.

Anyway, survey shows that my posting time for new post is within 1 am to 5 am in the morning. I am indeed a night stalker who start to think a lot during night time. As a matter of fact, for the past few days, i have been looking for potential employments and drafting a future career path for myself. Life is complicated after graduate kan? There are so many options to choose. Lost lost lost..!!

Hmmm.... Hopefully everything will be "sun sun li li" especially for the coming 2 new Tigers into expanding my family tree.. ^^ Wohoo, Tiger rocks..!!

What is my future?

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:13:00 +0000

That's weird... while everyone is ushering for Chinese New Year, i spent a few hours on the internet to ponder about my future. That's indeed a tough decision to be made for each and every soon-to-be graduated like me. It's been almost 6 years since i was having my last dilemma about "FUTURE". And to be frankly, i did regret (a little bit lar..) for the choices that i made after SPM but hey? what's the point of crying over spilled milk? Hmm...

I have seen some of my friends keep on harping about "Money is not everything, money can't buy you love as etc...." Even our church discourage us from pursuing wealth. But as for me, money is almost 95% of everything >.<"...!! Imagine what will you need when you fall sick..? $$$..!! What you need to finance your family in the future? $$$..!! Unlike 100 years ago, the reality of the current world is that, you need $$$ to survive...

Anyway, i found myself has to many options to choose. Each and every options will have a long lasting impact to my future career. I do not wish to associate myself into "Engineering" anymore... No way...!! Ultimately i wish to pursue MBA after gaining a few years of experience. Well at least that's the plan that come across my mind right now (13/02/2010)

Even with such a "wonderful" plan, i still have to choose a right place for me to gain experience before pursuing my MBA. And of course the easiest method is to stay at Klang and get myself into TG and then find a local institution to further my study. Somehow, i have this feeling of not wanting to permanently stay at here, i should have venture abroad and give it a try. Who knows i will have a better future prospect kan? But if that's the case, i will have to abandon my family, friends and everything.... I am totally lost... I wish i am 15 years younger than my current age, playing and fighting whole day with no worries... But sooner or later i have to face this cruel reality. It's just 3 months from now... Anyway wishing you guys

"Kiong Hee Huat Cai"...!! 恭喜发财..!! Huat ar Huat ar..!!

For the first time after more than 6 years? I will be going back to Penang to celebrate CNY... ^^

Insomnia : LOST

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 19:05:00 +0000

And again, I couldn't fall asleep and my brain starts to think think think... Was it because i slept too much today? or i am way too excited to go back Klang? or seriously there is other thing that start bothering me?

As i close my eye, i started to ponder about the "baka" me... Why am i being so slow in certain aspect...? Why i am being so passive? What am i actually afraid of? My six sense tells me that the indication seems quite positive but yet i still do not have the gut to do so and acting as if nothing happen.

I have the tendency to think of what will happen in one year time, five years time, ten years time which eventually prevented me from doing nothing at all. Should i just put a "." on it or unleashing a brand new beginning? Is there anyone to give me a hint? Hmm...... I am lost...

寂寞好了
拼命的奢望悶壞的胸口讓我想大聲的吶喊
我努力不放你冷淡你讓分手就這樣
我連做夢也感覺受傷

一年過了還是一天計算著慌張
計程車上的音響我們最愛的情歌
這一刻卻重重擊破思念的心臟

夜深了我怎麼辦寂寞了誰在身旁
心情變得好復雜想她念她恨她
一個人你害怕嗎細數過漫天星光
說好永遠不分開多假多假多假
讓記憶長出翅膀飛翔
心放空了寂寞好了

堅強外表下我脆弱情人節開始失常
別人慶祝我卻很失落
秋天過了冬天漫長
關於愛感傷
我們天真的勇敢我們追求的夢想
捨不得也只能收藏旅行的時光

夜深了我怎麼辦寂寞了誰在身旁
心情變得好復雜想她念她恨她
一個人你害怕嗎細數過漫天星光
說好永遠不分開多假多假多假
讓記憶長出翅膀飛翔
心放空了寂寞好了

寂寞感冒全都可以好的
愛多甜傷多痛都釋放 oh~

夜深了我怎麼辦寂寞了誰在身旁
心情變得好復雜想她念她恨她
一個人你害怕嗎細數過漫天星光
說好永遠不分開多假多假多假
讓記憶長出翅膀飛翔
沒有你心放空了寂寞好了

Tonight as i entered my room, my roomie seduced me with a pretty tempting song. It's a song that i actually heard it before but i never really give a d*mn about it.. But today, this mandarin song caught my attention... The song is 寂寞，好了, like so "ngam" and suit me de...

Somehow this song start to make me "jiwang jiwang" kot and i recall back all my wonderful memories when i was in first year.. That's was 4 years ago..!! Time passes really really fast dude....

This is my gang back at klang, just a few weeks before i was accepted into UMS. Glad that we are still contacting each other until now :)

During first year first semester, i seldom mixed with my coursemate and i could barely remember 10 of them.. That's when most of my time was spent with my ex form 6 schoolmate.

Pa sang lang...

And i know i stunned the whole "Kampung E" when i decided to "botakkan" my own hair. It spread so fast that they wondered what's going on with kevin?? It was an accident... hmm... but still, i think i look quite "chun" with this hairstyle.. hahah..

This is the first complete picture of C3A picture which was taken during welcoming party. Well, other than Roland, i don't think i remember any of my coursemate name during that time... Lol...

I was pretty active during the first year, having involved actively in debate team which i left after only about 2 semesters...

and of course my most memorable moment was being the emcee for PAP. It's like a dream comes true for me...

Back then i was pretty slim as well, which was about 8 kg lighter than my current weight.. And back then, i was very proud with my center parting hairstyle as well.. >.<

Remember this? It was the first ever bday celebration for C3A member.. And i was glad to be the first one.. hahha..

That's the moment when C3A members started to mingle around with each other. My most memorable trip will be the so called 1 week of "Study" trip to Sarawak. It was a trip full with laughter and joy. Everyone was like so new to each other and that's when the barrier of "paisehness" were torn off. And that's when i show off my "sarcastism" skill..

And that's what 4 years ago de C3A members, it was the first time we went to Foh Sang.. We even rented 2 cars just to get to there... Gosh, i never realised that we were so dumb.. It was just Foh sang... FOH SANG..~

And not forgetting that wonderful Labuan trip...

And also the trip to palm oil mill....

You are not qualified to graduate from UMS if you never try to climb mount KK. Thank God that i climbed it twice and managed to make it to the top during the first trial. Some people argue that "dude, why are you paying to make yourself suffer?" Well you will get the answer once you reach the peak.. It's the "satisfaction" feel that you will never ever forget...

Hmmmm... i start to miss my uni life, never realised that time passes so fast......

My final semester...

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 17:41:00 +0000

hmm... just came back from our Pesta Ang Pow and suddenly have the urgency to blog pula.. Overall, the performance from PAP was just "OK", and i bet without the performers from China, it's going to be the worst PAP that i had ever attended during my 4 years uni life...

And as usual, i have the tendency to criticise emcee. Being the ex-emcee for PAP has indirectly caused me to focus more on the quality of the emcee, and sorry to say that this year emcee was like >.<" The intonation was not right and the way she spoke was like so high pitch and don't have the so called "Ommm". Yea, it's "omm".. Is like when you speak that time, you can cause the "bulu roma" of the audience to stand up... haha.. Note that i am just targeting emcee that speak malay and english...

Anyway, as for this semester, i just need to attend 2 days of classes per week. Unfortunately i am like going to school each and everyday in order to complete my FYP and plant design. So it makes no difference bah. Is just that i have greater flexibility to plan my own schedule.. Thank God that comparing with previous semester, this semester is much much more relaxing kot.. I have more time to enjoy myself and to mingle around more with my church friends. Playing pool and having swimming session at each and every week is like a "must do" activity for us.

And to be frankly, this semester i am more towards enjoying myself rather that studying. It's already the last semester and no matter how hard i strive, it makes not much difference because in the end, it will just influence 0.0++ of your total cgpa. This is even true especially when you "agak agak" can know what grade your lecturer might give you in the final. As for this semester, I have 7 credits hours which solely determined by the same lecturer. So, as long as i do well for my fyp, it should be owkie kot.. The only subject that i worry the most is the unpredictable "apek" subject... I want to enjoy my life to the fullest..!! :)

Happy New Year

Lately i just don't have the excitement of doing anything, let alone updating my blog. Anyway, kuanxiong.blogspot sincerely wishing all of you...

"HAPPY 2010 =)"

As for this year, i don't really have a long long to-do-list of what i plan to do for the coming year, simply because it proven to be a total failure. What's the point of listing so many new year resolutions when you fail to achieve it? Hahaha...

Let me recall back about a month ago, back at KK, i have this so called "Holiday" resolutions to proceed with my FYP, I also have this wonderful dream to learn AutoCAD and to make amendments on my Plant Design project...

Ump... after one month, I did nothing much for my FYP, Nothing for AutoCAD and of course no progress for my Plant Design project. WTHeck? I can't even achieve my Holiday resolutions. Anyway i do enjoy spending my time with my family and of course hanging around with my friends.... ^^

Melaka : An exciting food hunting trip :) It's all about eat and eat and EAT and gained a kilogram. Thanks to the warm hospitality from Pei Chin and her Mommy..

Somehow this picture looks nice...

Eye of Malaysia...

Singapore : An unplanned and sudden trip to Singapore which turn out to be quite nice. A truly "budget trip" where we spent less than RM 370 for 3 days and 2 nights considering the exchange rate of RM 2.465 to $1 sing dollar. And again, thanks to Agnes and her friend for getting us a place to stay for FOC.

Singapore Flyer a.k.a Eye of Singapore...

New Year Eve Celebration at I-City

Not forgetting my food hunting trip at Ipoh as well... Thanks Yanyan for fetching us lor.. But too bad, i don't have the pictures with me right now and hence, I can be forgiven.

x-axis : Sem , y-axis : result

According to the crappy analysis, i should be getting around 3.55 to 3.60 for the final semester. Hope that's true..

Lastly and again, i hope to maintain my result and convert my loan to scholarship, travel to any EU countries and of course, job career with any Oil & Gas company..!! That's the dream of every fresh grad engineer. See? I just have 3 simple resolutions.

Surprise :)

After waiting for like more than 1 month, finally my last semester result was released when i was having my Singapore trip. The usual high-curiosity me started to keep on thinking about my result during the 3 days 2 nights trip at Singapore. If there is a chance for me to online, i will put my best foot forward to try it... But damn lar, most of the time, SMP cannot enter de.... Is it Singapore internet access cannot access SMP de ar? Anyway, thanks to Mr Taiwanese for trying so hard to connect to SMP with his touch screen ACER hp....

Wakakkaa... enough of the long long introduction. To my surprise, i am able to maintain my CGPA :) Thank God and really Thank God again. Last semester was the toughest semester ever in my life as a Uni student. I bet every coursemate will agree with me. There were so much of intense pressure and problems arose that you could hardly have sufficient time to sleep.

Although there are some other coursemates that performed much more better, overall i am satisfy with my 3.77 considering the fact that i went back to Klang for like so many freaking times...

As predicted, Apek really gave me a B- for his subject... :(

One more last semester to go and that's the end of my life as a uni student. I am going to miss all the wonderful time...

Insomnia of the month

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 19:58:00 +0000

Sigh, i am unable to fall asleep tonight, it's been a long time since i had my last insomnia. But too be frankly, comparing with last semester, i am able to sleep pretty well for this semester. Thanks to the new environment :) But today... haiz, is it due to the excitement of Neway-ing within 6 hours time?

As i closed my eye, somehow i pondered upon afternoon's conversation in facebook with a chio bu. Let's name it as chio bu. Bcoz right now, this fellow already become a chio bu liao... We chatted for a while and this chio bu gave me free consultation time. Although i did not 100% agreed with what chio bu said, but chio bu has indirectly reminded me of something...

Haiz... Things cannot prolong too long kan? Later it will start to rotten de... Maybe i am thinking way too far edy... Is that what we name it as mature? I just keep on harping what if, what if, what if.... This "what if" has prevented me from being initiative ><

Haiz... This 23 years old guy always being very slow de... He will consider a lot of things before making any decision. baka... Don't really know what should i do ooo. Hoping to get some hint in dreamland... If only i can fall asleep right now..!! God bless me for having a good sleep and good voice please, amen.. :)

Final Year Project

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:06:00 +0000

Many of you know that i have finished my final examination but why am i still staying at Sabah and not returning to my Home Sweet Home? Even my mom also asked me "Li em si kok chek wan liao meh? Zu mi ah ni ua ka tui zhu?" (Your exam already over right? Why so late only return to home??)

It's hard to explain to my mom that i am doing final year project simply because i don't know how to translate it to Hokkien/Mandarin -.-.. So i just said i got things to do la...

Hmm.. because of this final year project, i have no choice but to burn one air asia ticket and one MAS ticket. But why 2 tickets and not one? One is due to stupidity of buying wrong air flight ticket...

Not only that, i am also unable to join Malaysia National Convention back at putrajaya. It's actually a church activity that gather all the hope churches from all over Malaysia and Singapore... In short, it's a huge and important event. sob sob....

Apa tu? It's actually a water filter..

Anyway, what am i doing actually? My job is to fabricate hollow fiber membrane and to design a cartridge for it. Next, i will have to test it permeability and flux. Sibeh "chim" right? To make things easier, usually i will say like that to my coursemates who like to tease me.. hahaha... "Try to pee through it, and crystal clear water will come out at the end :)" Basically that's my project.

Starting from tomorrow, things are going to get more and more challenging and at the same time, getting more excited :) But thankfully, Miss Agnes blesses her green colour Kelisa car for me for 2 weeks. A big THANKS to Agnes again. It means a lot for a poor me who does not have any car or motor. From tomorrow onwards, i will go to any places that i want without having to trouble others to fetch me.

For the past few days, things run pretty smooth. What ever materials that i requested from my supervisor, he will just approve the order without asking so much. Even when the price is kinda expensive. Furthermore, the purchase order is ready within a few days only..!! That's the trust he placed on me, i will work harder to accomplish it. Thank you, Dr Rosalam. I guess that's the different of being a Dekan. Every procedures will move at the faster pace due to greater authority. So now i am just hoping that there will be no further delay on the supplier side.

The end of nightmare....

I am glad to announce, the official ending of my Final Year examination :D

Overall this semester seems like my worst ever semester. I have no confident on getting any A for any subjects. This is really a weird feeling. Most of the things that you memorised or studied were not the questions that came out in exam. This semester "really got no eye to see" liao.... I am just hoping to grab a place in Dean list.

And this time, even after the end of final year examination, majority of the final year students did not have the excitement like previous year..... We don't really feel RELAX. Simply because we need to settle our pending FYP report, Plant Design's VIVA and LABSS~~~

Talking about FYP project, now only i realised, why is it so difficult to finish up your FYP at UMS..!!

Firstly, insufficient of materials. This is the deadliest problem in conducting any FYPs. Basically i am spending most of my time in getting materials and follow up on it!!! Studying at Sabah means that most of the "Rare" materials have to be shipped from west Malaysia. That's why sometime it takes a few months just to wait for my materials to reach UMS.

Secondly, insufficient of equipments. UMS can proud of having a super nice campus and nice environment but when it comes to scientific equipments. It is really sux..... For a simple experiment that only need a few hours to conduct, basically you can waste a few months to look for that equipment.

Even if the equipment is right in front of you, you will need another few weeks just to go through all the stupid protocols of getting permission to use it. And the worst is that, when you get the permission, then they told you that that equipment ROSAK SUDAH... And when you call them, they uttered something like "Terpulanglah kepada nasib kau, kalau engineer tu datang awal untuk repair, boleh guna awal bah, kita pun tak tahu juga kan?"

I was like -.- when they uttered "terpulanglah kepada nasib kau". This clearly shows that how Inefficient they are. If only i have all the materials that i need, I guess right now i already completed my membrane cartridge and enjoying my holiday back at Klang.

Next, is the importance of "Shoe Polishing Skill". Final year student also require to have sufficient "Shoe polishing skill". Without this skill, no matter how smart you are, the lecturer is going to revenge back by giving you "not so good" result. Things to take note:

When lecturer says A, Don't say B
When lecturer says something wrong, just act like he/she is correct and smile :) Don't ever EVER shoot them back

In conclusion, sometime no matter how well you plan and how hardworking you are, still there are other uncontrollable external constraints that prevented you from achieving your goal.

Moody day : A "Poor" Semester

noreply@blogger.com (kuan xiong) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:51:00 +0000

Aih aih... Just finished my management & economic final exam only... Did some stupid mistakes on that paper but it did not influence my mood because overall, it was still ok :)

However, my mood started to swing when i went to Prof Othman room to see our latest carry mark... >< 69 marks only..!! 69 marks might seem Owkie... But when you realised that the lowest mark is 60+++, it means that 69 marks is SUX and is among the lowest of all.... Adding all the marks plus evaluating today's paper... It seems like impossible to get a good result on it.. I am betting a B+ on it... 3.33333333.............

One subject like that nvm lar..... But another subject which is under the same lecturer also suffer the same faith.. I got a bloody 16 marks over 100 marks for midterm... Was it because i was rushing to go airport on that day? And all the assignments are incapable to compensate for the DAMAGE.... Another sad case.... I am betting a B as well. 3.00000000..........

2B's from Prod Othman... To say that he is too strict is not true as well... Simply bcoz others are getting quite a good results... I can only conclude that :

I am getting stupid
I got no luck
Going back to Klang too often <--- excuse?

Aih, no need to comfort me to gambateh in Final examination to compensate for the damage.. Because i am almost reaching the end of Final... Now i am hoping that Dr Rosalam will be giving me an A because his marking style is solely based on "SIAPA KAU"... So far i have yet to anger him. Hope that as his "beloved" FYP students, I will have some advantages to get A for both his subjects.

And hope that i will be able to score for Particle Tech and Plant Design as well... <--- Another Prof Otherman's subject.. >.< style="font-weight: bold;">ever. Based on C3A standard, i am the worst. None of the result is something that i can proud of. Aih, today is such a moody day, got no mood to do anything at all. Just hope that i am still able to grab that 14k

*Thinking to chop my hair now... must be this super thick hairstyle that cause me to suffer brain damage.... haiz..*
