1st week review

The above picture tell everything. Just got my staff card or security card today after one week i started off my working life here. Yea..it is official, i am officially an exec in SKO.

It has a whole new experience to me, from that moment i touched down to the soil of Miri to the moment i pen this blog, everything seems to move very fast. One week just passed without realizing it. Been picked up and "chaffeured" everyday by SKO driver, staying in a quite luxurious hotel( each of us got our own triple sharing room) for two weeks reconfirmed my predictment of the intensity of outside ppls cracking their head, trying to squeeze themselves into oil and gas industry.

My hotel room

Been here for the 1st time. everything are so alien and new to me. But Thank God that there are various party of people who are there to assist me. In my working environment, BRE/5 or MCI section colleagues who have been helping me in adapting to this "thinker" section., especially to Ivy, Jing Jing , Ester, Ruzlan and FridauSEEEE...thank you. To those saints who help me to settle my accomodation and brought me to familiarize with the Miri city. May the Lord remember your offering.

My rooms for next few years

More of my house picture are available in my facebook.

Anyway, one week has passed.another week here before i fly back to west msia for PIPE. Time to learn more and get used to the life in Miri and SKO. Till then, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it and Happy new Year....countdown to 6 days before we closed the curtain of 2009

Adios West Msia, Hello Miri

The time has finally arrived, after 6 months of lazying around been jobless while waiting for the placement, i am flying off to Miri tomorrow for my first job. Tomorrow, my parents will be sending me to the KLIA and bid adios to me.

My feeling now is totally mixed. With the belief that i have made a right decision to accept this offer , i am anxious yet excited, anxious as i m pondering what really going to happen next few days and how my future going to be unfolded, exciting due to my new home, Miri and my working environment. I have been googling a lot and asked some unbiased feedback regarding this city. And the response was very possitive except that the cost of living there is just slightly below comprare to KL which force me to do early budgeting.

Recently, i had the opportunity to fellowship with my youth serving one for advice as he has been in this industry for quite some times yet he can still managed to live a proper church life. From the fellowship, i been reminded that no matter how busy i will be , i still need to live a proper church life. One of the useful way to keep myself attached to the church life is thru engaged myself in the church service. The phase he used " Not according to our own preference" which give me clearer picture on the church service which i hope to engage. Thank you brother for such a timely reminder.

To my friends whom i managed to meet up for farewell in 4 different places, Sitiawan, KL , Melaka and Penang, i enjoyed hanging up with you all and thank you for your time spent to meet up with me. You have my best wishes in your future endeavor. All the best and see you when there is chance.

I have to stop here , gonna prepare for my dinner with my parents in sunway piramid. sad to leave them too but life still have to go on, hope they can take care themselves when i am not around. Ok...Time to off...Adios to West Msia and Hello to MIRI...May the Lord continue to preserve me.

Flying off soon

The flight is confirmed...16 december 09...Morning 830.. departure airport, KLIA, i m going to leave west msia to Miri for my new stage of life..working life..counting down..less than a week left for me to enjoy here.... appreciating quality time that remains..sound like i m nt going to come bec like that...haha...may be that the feeling of me, being a kampung boy...from childhood till university life...all in Perak.. Suddenly need to go a place which i unfamiliar with.....1700km away from hometown, surely i hav this "sudden" feeling

But luckily, thank God, i have Miri saints who are more than willing to help me. settle my accomodation and assisting in transportation while waiting for my car to ship over and of course will be helping me to have familiarization in this town. and also to seniors working inside SKO miri, ever helpful, this time have to ask for your help in settling down in my new job....Thank Thank...

Update and update

Since my time in west Msia is numbered, i have been occupied with quite a few activities that really left me not much time for myself. 1st in the line is the medical check up for pre employment. It had been a terrible experience having to conduct the check up in KPJ Ipoh specialist Hosp. What i heard from my friends who did medical check up in Prince Court Medical Centre didnt happen to me. One word to summarize, Low efficiency. A medical check up which can done in few hours or the half day, took me two days to settle. Had to travel back and off between Sitiawan and Ipoh for two days. Among those blunder they did, you name it they have it. BMI result hilang?? Missed up drug test??Audiology test missed again?? Been the most expensive hospital in Perak, how can their efficiency be lower than those government???? May be the Lord specially arrange this situation for me to experience Him more and more. Anyway Praise the Lord for this.

Next, the "implementation day". The planning for my 2nd sister wedding dinner reception. Been in planning for the past few weeks , coordinating with the event management company, Everything planned to make sure that my sister and her husband have a wonderful and memorable wedding dinner, once in a life time, surely it have to be done perfectly. and the outcome??? for me is turn up to be what i expected. The guests liked it and the most important, my sister and her husband love it. Thank you to those who attended for your support and i appreciate for been given such an opportunity to do the planning and MCing. Thanks for loving the video that i did too

After settling my sister wedding, next in line is road trip or farewell trip that i planned before i leave west msia. Melaka is my 1st destination, managed to meet up with sis wendy, my internship supervisor Adrian Chek, my fellow trainee who is now engineer, Jun kiong and last but not least, Bro wei Bing. All done in one day and appreciate these ppl who spent time to met up with me. Thank You guys and Thank you Melaka for been such a nice place.

After Melaka, i went straight to Shah alam who is my sister place. Stayed a few days there while saying adios to my youngest sis who departed to Singapore for better future. At my sis place, i been unlucky enough to be spreaded with the three most common sickness, i called it " three musketeers" flu, cough and sore throat. Not H1n1 coz i dnt hav fever..hahaha..... By the way, i managed to meet up with my close buddies in USJ..great to see you, Mr Tee.

While trying to cure my sickness, i traveled to Penang with my parents and my sister's family and of course the naughty yet cute elvin. Staying in Berjaya Hotel in Georgetown while spending quality time with my family definitely worth it. Last night, i managed to meet up with my former internmates who surprise me with a gift. A brown colour T shirt which have these words" My Jobs makes my life possible but my job is not my life", That very true that reflect my personal opinion on the job which i obtained. Thank you Sue Ling, Poh Tshin, Jing Quek and Zting for this farewell gift. i loved it very much and surely i will wear it. Thank for the sacrifice you all did, having to travel 40 mins from Bayan Baru to Pulau Tikus, stucked in heavy traffic jam.Thank you ladies....

Next week, i hope to have my flight ticket settled, all the my personel belongings packed up and the car shipping to east msia settled. Countdown 10 days before i start my new stage of life...working life.......I have been reminded of one sentence...." In Everything give thanks" That really been a great encouragement for me....Thank you saints..

Finally...finally.....

Sorry for letting this blog idling for quite some time...for the past few months, there were basically no highlight or lowlight probably due to this waiting period.

Here how the story goes...

20 Nov 09...afternoon..while i am still preparing my lunch, a courier service agent came to my house and presented to me an item...from the cover of the item, it stated...group talent sourcing dept, HRM division, Petronas. OMG??omg??Omg?? Here is what i received

Ta!!!da...!! is a job offer letter from Petronas...after months of waiting and patience, here is the outcome of it....When i received it, i am very excited on what position i am assigned...Looking into it...executive(reliability-integrity)....sound not bad.....then continue reading it....FUH...MIRI?? am i m going to work in Miri??east Msia??? I am living in west msia...how come i been posted there???a lot of opinions come out(may be due to over-excited)... Calming down, i feel myself been very fortunate to get the offer as many are still waiting for petronas offer...

The next thing i do is decimate this news to my family members and seek fellowship with the relevant saints. Most of the responses are positive...congratz...all the best..... includes some teasing me of going to work in sarawak. Thank you for all the encouragement. But one comment that made me visibly upset when i contact this person asking about Miri this place.. When he found out that i am coming to work there...The next response is : " You are selling your soul to work"??? and ???? and countless ???.. I don't understand the reason he said this. Is that a sin to get a job??

Coming back to more possitive issue.... I really thank God for such an offer...the reason is simple.. He has answered my prayer...Since that getting a job is unavoidable due to the agreement, thus the job's nature that i wish to get will not only enable me to fulfill my job's obligation in my best effort, more importantly to enable me to live a proper church life...spending time to put myself into any Levite services. Thank God that thru the fellowship with my serving one this afternoon, it strengthen my desire to live such a living....without forsaking humanity's obligation, yet spending time to live a proper church life...This is my consecration and may the Lord remember it.

Now that the offer letter reached....the fuss to register myself as employee starts...Look at this.
Medical check up....kwsp...bla bla bla... settle one by one and hope it can be settled before due time...Jobless period ending soon and my time in west Msia is numbered...Miri is my home for the next few years...Memang Itu Rumah I...MIRI

Jobless period

After i graduated last June 09, i have been idling(jobless) for the past 3 mths d. Many people asked what i have been doing for the these period, and of course many suggestions been offered on what should i do next...i e. wait for petronas placement, go 4 master, find temp job ...go do teaching..bla bla bla..blu blu blu...i appreciate all these suggestions. Anyway, let me just summarize what hav i done in the past few mths.

June 2009- Just graduated, of course this whole mth for the well deserve rest after 5 years of unhumanly uni life...had my 1st oversea trip with family to Perth, visited my former intern place- Melaka and of course met up with several kakis there too.

July 2009- Basically this mth, i did some job applications, attended several interviews, report duty in klcc(not job placement fr pet k), watch MU live@ Msia...Go Rooney!!! n also help sis to do her job placement with Telekom.

August 2009- 16/8/09 My Convocation....Yeah..officially grad and of course officially jobless. made no difference whether in unofficially and officially...still same.. Besides that, in this mth, i recieved a "good" news from a company for the possible placement but only ended up in dissapointment due to some crap reasons given. That took my time off too.

Sept 2009- 5/9/09- My sister finally gave birth to a boy...the 1st 3rd generation in my family. Something to ponder. This baby was born after i was born..just that the gap is 23 years...Since my family dnt employ confinement lady, thus as the only jobless member in my family, i was unofficially been appointed to become "confinement boy"..Yeah..there is sweet n bitter in it.. The bitter is i treated like kuli by my sis...she keep on instructs me to do this and do that...macam queen controlled... As the revenge, and that the sweet part...i can bully the baby everyday..day and night..make him cry..n of course make him smile as well..but when the baby do big n small business..i am the 1st wan to runaway..hehehe..

Anyway...wish that this jobless life can ended by Nov..jobless life is worst than unhuman uni life..where u duno which direction u r heading for...continue study or step into working world which i prefer the latter...Hope Petronas can give me the placement..cross the finger and hope for the best...ALL the BeSt

Review of 5 years university life

Today is start of the new semester in UTP and for the 1st time in 5 years, it doesn't relate to me as i am under the status of unofficially graduate aka officially jobless. All the best to my friends who are still fighting for survival in this jungle university. Gambateh and hope you all can graduate successfully.

Looking back at 5 years of uni life, basically i come here as naive high school leaver, and close the curtain of uni life as an young , raw adult. There are certainly some ups and some downs. The ups include been successful in organizing events and the downs include been betrayed and forced to resign. All these events color up my uni life and it serve as priceless lesson for me as i face the next stage of my life which is more challenging.

To those people who been with me during the ups and down, i wish to convey my sincere appreciation to you. You have been fantastic and wonderful. I am glad that i met you in my life. Thx you. To those people whom i have offended, i wish to apologize and seek your forgiveness. Sorry. To those who have betrayed and hurt me, i wish to thank you for the valuable lesson that you gave me as it made me a more alert and mature person.

Thx to UTP, Meche dept for providing me a chance for my furtherance of teatiary education. To ICC, for providing me a platform to serve in the cultural diversity nature. To Meche coursemates, thx for been with me of course letting me copy countless assignments and projects..Hehehehe...

To those saints who helped me and live with me during my 5 years campus church life. May the Lord continue to strengthen you in your future endeavor. Be in the church life, the lord recovery and be the testimony of Jesus, the continuation of the Jesus Christ. May God continue to bless you all

Family trip to Perth

As planned a year ago, during Air Asia free ticket promotion, my sister managed to book six air tickets for our family to have our annual family trip to Perth, Australia. But the numbers increased to 10 ppls due to later addition of my eldest sister, my brother in law n his sister n my sister's bf. So 10 of us for this trip. perfect 10!! yeah.

This time around, we decided nt to follow any tour, instead we plan our itinerary ourselves so that we can spend more time on places we wish to stay. Thanks to my sisters for the effort made to plan this trips. Really appreciate your effort sis.

Date is 8th June to 14 June. destination is Perth, Hotel stayed is Criterion Hotel at Hay Street, rented car is one Mitsubishi Lancer and one Hyundai Accent. All the booking has been done to make sure there is no blunder this time around.

Tis is my 1st time i m going for an oversea trip with my family. For sure the expectation is high that it would be a wonderful experience. Yeah, it really a fanstastic experience. the places we went are Caversham Wild life park, Swan valley(for wine and chocolate factories), frementle (Frementle Musuem, round house, monument hills & Chocolate factories, Cohunu koala park, E shed markets, Frementle markets, Perth city tour and of course some shopping in Perth city.

What really amaze me is that Perth has no night life. The city become almost dead after 530pm. There are no crowd on the street at night. There are few facts and incident i wish to share here.
Firstly is the people in Perth are generally nice to the tourists especially the police. They are really helpful. Kudos to Perth Police. But one thing i dnt like is those immigrants from Asia to Perth, no need to mentioned their formally nationality. They are just a bunch of ARROGANT ppl. i really dnt understand why they r like that. can someone tell me??

Secondly, i am astonished on the way the authority managed this city. Everything is so proper. The transportation system is reliabilty, security is good. authority is helpful and places and scenary is so marvelous. The money spent in this trip is well worth.

Lastly, to those aussie drunken ass who duno wat u do when u get drunk, you hav cause some damage on my rented car. it resulted in the damaged cause to be more than Rm3k which my family have to foot the bills.

For the pictures taken in the trip, kindly browse my facebook.

Last day and Last night at UTP

Times has come, 5 years university life will officially end tomorrow once i exit the guard house tomorrow morning. The moment i step out of UTP, i can officially close the curtain my university life, yet another stage of life.

5 years??long ?not so....short??not so, bt it seems to be proved to be vital to me. It helped me grow to who i am now. From July 2004, i first steps into this university, everything is so alien to me, been a person who follows all the rules till now, a person who try to break any rules if possible. That what i am.

Throughout this 5 years, there are two major groups of friends i mix with. First is ICC clubmates whom i mix from the first three years. Organizing activities together, process of getting approval from all the stupid management and so on, all the moments i cherish it and will remember it. Been in ICC is a pleasure to me. learning to deal with different type of ppl an useful experience for me. Enjoying the sucess of a project will definitely be a sweet memory. Been scolded during and after the organizing process proved to be a learning curve for me. To those people who helped me directly and indirectly throughout my involvement in the club, i wish to say thank you and sorry. Thank for been a supportive colleagues and sorry if i have offended you. Hope the friendship bond established will last 4ver.

The other groups i mix with is my church friends. Two years been alone here as no saints register in this uni make me desperate for a companion. Been individual Christian is not easy, but with a companion. It will make my church life more stable. July 2006, a brother came in, July 2007, another sister came. July 2008, two brothers and two sisters came in. and just recently May 2009, another sister came. There are officially eight of us although the latest sister came while i am in the process of deregister myself as students. Living together with them is definitely a nice experience. Guiding them to down root their church life, dealing with their different characteristics led me to experience God more and more. Thank you saints for such a wonderful memory with you all. I love you all with the love of God. Hope you all can continue the church life and be the testimony of Jesus. Hope to see you all in the all the church conf, blending or training. Please try to attend as many as you can.

Yeah....mix feeling. happy due to graduation, no longer in this University and i am eager to explore a new challenges. Sad due to all the memory i have had here, sweet or sour , doest matter. i will cherish it 4ver. Thank UTP for providing me an opportunity to further my tertiary education here. Thank also to management for providing such a low class service to us. and Finally to those who help me in this period. THANK YOU..XIE XIE...TERIMA KASIH.

Okies time up, is time to leave. All the best to you all in your future. May it be a blessed, cheerful life. Take care. Bye

The Vigorous 12 hours

As tis week is my most important week in my university life. I need to settle my FYP report before i can graduate. To settle it i need to get my supervisor approval before i can proceed with the hard bound. Let me introduce my supervisor. His name is XXX..he is very particular in reporting and he is very DEMANDING. i have been editing the report for at least 4 times and each time the returned report was full of corrections. i know that he is trying to get the best out of me but his standard is very high, every students under him feel he is torturing us with all those correction needed to be made.

Tueday(2/6/09) evening 515pm, i was waiting outside of his office, waiting anxiously for his remarks on my report. He came out and say to me..EDIT and send back to me the day after tomorrow. I was shock as i have edit the report. time is running out for me as i need to get his approval by Wednesday so that i can send to hardbound. I have to leave UTP by Thurs. Thus that time, all over my mind is about settling the report. That night, i am so tension over my report as i really scare that my supervisor will reject my report again. I have to forgo an invited dinner from one of eating shop owner from Tronoh. Whole night busy editing the report till i sent the edited version thru email. i missed my dinner as well. The night is torturing, thinking of what will happen tomorrow.

Wednesday(3/6/09) morning. My supervisor email me by asking me to submit the hardcopy. i submitted and waiting for his reply during the morning. The waiting is killing me. Without his approval, i cant go for hardbound this week. Thus if i hardbound next week, thus i can bid adios to my Australia trips. It is family trip which is surprisingly is my first time going overseas with my family.Singapore nt considered. Hehehe.

12pm. SV email me d. he told me that i can collect my report and he promise me that it can be settle by today. Although that time is not confirm that it can be finished. But base on my sv comment, the chances is there and is quite high

230 pm I submitted the report and he checked in front of me . By 3pm, he told me : "You got my approval and can proceed with hardbound". WOW..that time the feeling is so marvelous, great relieve, great joy and great let off. That the nicest words that my sv spoke to me. My joy is indescribable. it is just fantastic.YAHOO!!!!!!...finally, is really finally.....i got my sv approval.

By having his approval, i can do my hardbound. Consequently complete my last course in UTP and GRADUATE. That time for me is happiest moment in my university life. I completed my studies here on 3/6/09. For the past twelve hours, it had been a torturing yet a learning process for me. Ya i do believe that i suffered emotionally, but yet in this process , i learned to endure and depend on God. Without the presence of God, i dnt think i can go thru this period. Learning to be patience is a great virtue. This period will remain in my memory forever.

Final Year Project Final Oral Presentation

The last assignment to complete my studies here is to conduct presentation for the FYP and submit the final report. The presentation will be tomorrow afternoon 3pm. This is among my most nervous presentation as i am not really confident in it may be my project is not good enough. i duno about that. But one thing for sure, i hope to pass this subject the best way it could be. i seriously dont wish to stay here for any longer.hehehe..5 years is enough for me and i wish to go out and explore another new day, new challenges and new life.

The preparation for this presentation went quite smoothly and i am more concern about the report. I hope to get my supervisor signature by next tueday or next wednesday. then i can ask my fren to do the hardbound for me. I have to settle it fast as by next sat i need to be KL, departing for family vacation to Perth. Thus i am racing against time and i do do really hope that everything will be fine starting from tomorrow. and i hope my supervisor will be nice and linient this time around.

Cross the fingers and hope the best for tomorrow presentation. Wish me luck.

Final Week in UTP

The days are almost over, time are running up, with last week in UTP approaching, there are really a mix feeling deep within me. After my final final exam and had a deserving rest, the effort been gathered for the last push in my university life. Settle FYP in the best possible way and then i can unofficially say i have GRADUATED!!. and leave this jungle university.

The last week here, it will be a busy week for most of us. Presentation of FYP and our eagerness to get supervisor signature in order to hard bound our project report drive us thru. I cant imagine when my supervisor put his signature on my report which signalled the end is almost there. It will be surely a great moment to experience. Having been "depressed" by uncountable assignaments, test, projects and exams for the last five years, the end of FYPII means the end of all the tortment

The final week here means that the time for me with my frens are limited. After that, all of us will be seperated and embark on another stage of life. Everything will change in one week, and the changes have a huge impact on us. So guys, the days are coming..make the best out of it

UTP saints farewell

As my uni life approaches to the end, i am glad that i manage to attend some farewells arranged. One of it is the farewell organized by UTP junior saints. These saints are those who i live with in my church life for the past 5 years. The relationship built is so intimate and we are quite close to each other. The date is 20/2/2009, place is Kow Song(if i am not mistaken), near Greentown. time is 7pm-10pm.

Sister Henna is the one who book the places while i fetch all the saints except bro Jonanthan. Reached there, without waiting for henna, we start our steamboat.Dam bad le me. While enjoying the steamboat, i manage to took some pictures

Bro Elisha, Bro Sim and me
The sisters and two brothers.

Throughout these three hours, i enjoy having fun with all the saints. But one thing we forget to do, we forget to fellowship with each others. There is no word of God flowing among us. We are chatting all the worldly matters. We have enuf of worldly matters chating. But when the saints get together, we should take the opportunity to dispense Christ into one another. But overally it is still fun and enjoying as we manage to celeberate Shuen Shyan birthday.

Here is my wishes to all remaining saints. Remember one thing, live a normal Christian life. That the most important. Without a normal Christian life, your life is meaningless. Grab every opportunity to enjoy and dispense Christ. Be a human being, been a christian, been in Lord recovery and Live an Overcoming Christ life. I know there is sure up and down in this life.But be faithful, the Lord will remember our faithfulness.

I hope you all still can keep the campus meeting going on and take up some church service and hope that you all can become the continuation of Christ, testimony of Jesus, coprate body of Christ that consummate in the New Jerusalem.

Free from exam.

Yeah..finally after 5 years on exam trauma.Now i can officially declare that there will be NO MORE exam in my life. Today 22/5/2009..a day to be remembered, last paper which is facilities engineering, transport and storage is my final paper in UTP.

The paper is in the morning.as usual last min study..the precious 7-8am one hour, been utilized to squeeze as many info as possible into my brain. But once i enter the exam hall, open the questions booklet..oh gosh..been "cheated" by lecturer. normally this paper, the lecturer recycle the question over and over again. But this is exceptional..he change some of the questions, some aliens terms appear...i m quite stunned over it...But anyway..jz do my best and the next three hours goes on with attempting to answer it the best i can.

When the chief invigilator say...STOP writing...that the greatest relieve.it means that the exam is over. consequently last paper is over as well. The burden on my shoulder just drop down. a sign of relieve appear on my face..smile..joy..watever it is.. The exam torturing is over and i hope i wnt enter exam hall anymore in my life.

Overall, i am quite satisfied with my preparation on this final exams. i have done my best and hope it will yield a good result for me. To all my frens who have also finish their final final exams, congratulation!!well done guys!

5 years University Life review: Memorable trips(1)

As the time counting down, days are coming, i have to admit my 5 year university life coming to the end. I am closing down the curtain of my university life. I guess is time to do some review on some highlight and lowlight , up and down in this 5 years of vigorous life. 5 years??long??nt long also.short??not short too. But it do place a crucial role in my growth( i will review my feeling in next few posts). For as for now, throughout this 5 years, there are few memorable trips that i managed to join which leave me with wonderful experience which will remain my mind forever.

The most memorable trip is definitely my Hong Kong and USA trip in December 2008. It is church trip by which the main propose is to attend 2008 Winter Training in Anahiem, California. Thus, now economic crisis, no money,i also have to my trip expenses to be as cheap as possible. That why i stopby Hong Kong due to cheap Air Asia ticket and depart from Hong Kong to Los Angeles, USA via Taipei using China Airlines(cheap also).huhu.

Here is start!!!...

Departed from LCCT on 16 Dec 6.20am and reach Hong Kong International Airport same day 10.00am. This is my 1st time going Overseas beside Thailand and Singapore. kampung boy like me sure get excited lo..hehehe.

Reach Hong Kong airport, while waiting for a brother to come and fetch us to the accomodation place, i look around this airport. It is dream come true as i watched before the documentary about the building of this airport. It modern marvel as it is built on a reclaimed land as Hong Kong is already much crowded place. WOW, it just amazing to see this. Wish that Malaysia government can learn something from them.


Yeah, after been fetched by Bro Shu. he brought us to our accomodation place in the AUTOMATIC van. Hong Kong really advanced, everything also automatic. or i am kampung boy.hehe. I am staying in new territory or Xing Jie. Hong Kong is divided into three parts, Hong Kong island, kowloon and New territory. Journey took around 45 mins.

Reached my starting place, it is called Yuan qu. I can't imagine there is still places in Hong Kong which is so peaceful, not many high rise buildings, but only some high rise residantial buildings. each one more than 50 storeys Yuan Qu consists of three blocks, 1st block is for Full time training purposes which i am staying, 2nd block is for meeting hall, and 3rd is saints housing area. Look at it, i am quite sure if the church decided to sell this land, it will easily reach up to 30 million.not joking.

Beside the yuan qu is Hong Kong Heritage musuem and although this place is quite peaceful, but if want to go city centre, this place which is called Sha Tian contains two stations of MTR. so easily accessible. and one thing for sure, we no need to bring any cash around coz Hong Kong authority introduced multi purpose card, Octopus like touch n Go(not widely used yet). Every where in Hong Kong , you can use it. So just bring this card, and you will never get lost in Hong Kong. So as for 1st day, we were bought to visit Tsim Tsa Chui in Kowloon. no idea what it is all about.

Ya. Tsim Tsa Chui is the last place in kowloon by which the next station is in Hong Kong island. It is a must visit place for those who come to Hong Kong. It is river side bay by which many Hong Kong series took scenes here as the view is just fanstastic, as we walk along this bay, all Hong Kong famous building like IFC, HK exhibition center, Bank of China HQ are under our eye. Besides that, as we walk, we will reach Walk of Fame whereby many chinese artists have their hand print there like Andy Lau, Aaron Kwok, Leon Lai and etc etc etc. Even some dead artists "star" is there.Bruce Lee!!. They have a bronze statue for Bruce Lee. It definitely a romantic place to go. definitely it would be wonderful experience for couple.Too Bad my companion that time is a guy..lolz. And look at picture, is quite blur..not my camera skills lauya. But Hong Kong pollution is quite high.

Okla. that all for my 1st day in Hong Kong. 2nd day follows next.......

Two exams down, last two coming

Yeah. my final final exam kicked started two days ago with operation management exam. With the expectation of last semester final exam question will be recycled again, i went into exam hall with the hope of doing well. But the expectation went back fire. The lecturer changes some of questions which make the exam more difficult. I am quite stunned to look at question trying to figure out the best solution..huhu..at the end...jz do my best and hope for the best...

The next paper is Engineer in Society exam, two credits subject..but i duno why we study till it is like 3 cr hour subject.haha. Also almost the same case as OM...the hints we got are not really 100% correct. Wat to do, hav to do the best and hope for best. hope i wnt stay here in this jungle for another semester.

As two papers down, the next one is Alternative energy, this friday and the my last paper in this university is next friday. 5 years university life is drawing to a close soon..huhu

Two presentations

Yesterday i had two presentation, 2.30pm Alternative Energy Project Presentation and 6.30pm Operation management Project presentation. Both presentation went well and i am pleased to have done this presentation.

For alternative energy, as mentioned in previous post, these ladies r among the best that i ever worked with. The lecturer who is also my fyp supervisor(very hard to please him) had apparently praise the output of the project. i am very glad to hear it. Thx you ladies for all the hardwork. I appreciate it.

For operation management, i have similar group to work with by which all the team members willing to cooperate to ensure the success. The lecturer also pleased with the output of the project. Thx you guys for the cooperation.

For both groups , with deep humility, i wish to apologize for my any misconduct during the process of completing the project. i don't mean. As the semester coming to the end, this is our final semester here, thus, Happy graduation for all of you. All the best in your final exam and FYP oral presentation while your future be undertaking. Take care, and best of luck

Alternative energy Project group

I have been assigned to do project for alternative energy course with three other lovely ladies. Let me tell you all straightly that, this are few project groups during my university life that i appreciate and enjoy the most. These ladies are just fantastic!!.

From the starting of projects, job divided equally between four of us. They have tried their best in producing the result considering that they have final year project, operation management project+presentation and other stuff to take care of too. They have produced their best which i really appreciate that. I know all the hardwork, time and effort been poured in for the success of the project.

Now the project is progressing towards the end, the presentation is this coming thursday afternoon. I know that we have done our best and hope the lecturer will appreciate it too. Frankly it doesnt really matter how much score it will be cause i believe we will get pretty good score. I am not boasting.My point is as long as we done our best, the reward is there. No pain no gain.

Again, i wish to thank those ladies groupmate for their effort. Thank you. Xie xie.

Final draft of examination

Yesterday our final draft of examination came out. In a way in really shock us by having two papers on the 1st day of exam. one in the morning and one in the afternoon. That really cause some uproar among those affected. i am one of them who are disappointed with it.

But when i really think properly, i believe that exam unit have done their best based on complaint made during 1st draft. i appreciate what they have done. With a small amount of workforce(i dnt think there are more than 10 staffs working there), they have to face different character of 5000 students who constantly deal with them. i know that they cnt satisfied all of our requests and they have try to cater all of our needs.

There are ppl who try to do petition or official complaint over this matter which i have no qualm. But compare to 1st draft, ppl with back to back paper also lodged complain over it. This time their action are more reasonable.

Those ppl out there who wish to do complain over this, Please think twice over it. 1st, exam unit doesnt only serve you alone, they need to serve over 5000 students. If your case is nt clash cases or two papers per day case, jz back to back paper, i dnt think there is need to create extra task for them.

2nd, imagine yourself in the position of exam unit ppl, students came in with "unreasonable" complains as they wan to get better timetable .How would you feel??i m sure you will feel fed up over this. I am not denying their right to voice up the complain. But please think of exam unit ppl who has to deal with these complains.

I might not be the right person to voice over this. Bt i have been in the position whereby ppl lodge complain to me over small, tiny matters. I know wat the feeling been loaded with all the complains. Some of the complains is really worth of given attention, but some of complain lodge due to ppl desire to seek comfort zone so that they wnt be suffering over certain decision made.

So dear reader, in this case, not only jz think of yourself, think of exam unit ppl. I agree on the complain lodge for final draft as it involved more than 1000 students, it is worth giving attention to it. But on the same time, i strongly against the complaint( which related to my subject) lodged in the 1st draft as it only involved around 50 students. and it is not clash or two papers per day cases. it jz back to back paper. So how do you think , my dear reader?
