自己的世界有谁看透?

2012-02-01T08:46:00.000-08:00

自己的世界里，到底出了自己还有谁是最了解自己呢?
如果自己也不了解自己，那么活来还有什么意义呢?

24岁了，虽然不是经过什么风风雨雨，也不是被煎熬过什么的。
但是，不能不把自己弄清醒一点、看开一点。
对！某些事情还是看不开，不是因为事情，而是人为。

有人说，世上最难解决的问题还是人的关系。
小学时，朋友是因为认识了，然后一起上课补习讲话被老师一起罚站的那一个。到现在，聚会时都会拿出来一起回味，就是喜欢那种感觉。
中学时，朋友是因为认识了，然后一边开始抄功课、一起谈天、开始会说别人的是非，开始一起因为相同的兴趣而聚在一起，而且感觉也很真实。
大学时，朋友是因为认识了，然后开始互相利用，互相信任，互相尔虞我诈，人的关系转变非常快。一下子可以对你很好，转回头就另一个样子。

到现在为止，我依然活在自己的世界，很少人看得透我在想什么。
因为我不想我的大学生活因为利益而作朋友，也不想因为谣言满天飞而没有了朋友。
你觉得能怎样做呢？
你也可能说：“就是这样残酷的咯，还能怎样？”
我也只能说：“败给你了，生活.....”

大学四年：迷迷糊糊

2012-01-14T05:46:00.000-08:00

总是要有个人主动开口，事情才会开始慢慢发展。
就好像AMCISA final year gang的project，说着说着，今天就开拍咧!!!

过程不简单，真的不简单。
花了大半天，才完成了大约两幕，也突然觉得拍戏的明星们都很敬业..SALUTE!!

回到本人自己这14天到底发生了什么事，其实新的一年里面，我还是迷迷糊糊的。
不懂为什么，想法突然改变。想法的改变，改变不了周围的事物。有时候想到是自己的错觉罢了，事实上，真的只是错觉那么简单，还是误会？还是其实是真的？我不懂。迷糊的后遗症啊~

14天就这样迷迷糊糊了，那你呢？

Diarrhea days

2012-01-02T01:58:00.001-08:00

End with Diarrhea in 2011, start with Diarrhea in 2012~

WHAT THE FXXX IS THIS!!!

New year resolution

2011-12-31T20:11:00.000-08:00

1. Graduate on time
2. Earn a healthy and fruitful lifestyle
3. Travel - Australia, New Zealand??

Number 3 seems hard but will try to fulfill it....

GO GO GO 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011年，我怎么了？

2011-12-29T07:58:00.000-08:00

2011年，看开许多大事情，执着一些小事情。

我差一点就失去了一段真挚的友谊。这让我学到了，做人怎样都要拿捏。
到最后，我还是努力挽回。虽然这件事在很多人眼里不算什么，但是我是个重友情的人，我必定要挽回狂澜!

一向都把钱看在第一份上的我，今年花钱number 1!!大多数花在吃!结果越吃越肥~
原来我把钱看得那么开了...但是对某些东西还是下不了手，所以大多数时间还是在window shopping~ (睧)
成绩呢？还算ok啦，不要太差就好了....

实习的时候看到未来几年会走向什么道路呢？暂时，毕业的一年里总算有着落，也希望能够在那间公司长久逗留。老板很好，全部人都很好，很肯教我，但是我一直都忘记东西，很内疚!

2011年，我，善忘了；我，执着了；我，挥霍了；我，有点变了

有些事，字体和语言永远表达不了

2011-12-19T04:19:00.000-08:00

或许，感觉&思想只差一条线。

隔壁就是思觉的property line。

或许，表达方法有很多种，我选择了奇怪的表达方式。

思觉（思想感觉）永远都交缠在心里，

永远表达不了心中真正的意思

儒弱

2011-12-07T03:06:00.000-08:00

越是逞强的人，越是儒弱..
我就是那个爱逞强，但是儒弱的人...

突如其来的情绪，让我对四周围毫无兴趣..
突如其来的变数，让我觉得我在面对着永远无法改变的，就是改变..
突如其来的心情，让我知道，我的力量是改变不了世界，也改变不了四周围的变化..

我逞强，因为害怕..
我逞强，因为不要他们担心..
但是，最后觉得，原来逞强是多余的..

我本来很有信心，面对每一件事，逞强面对也是无补于事..
到最后可能是最失败的那个..

世界那么大，但却那么渺小的我..我，是不是很儒弱呢?

最后的冬季假期

2011-12-03T23:09:00.000-08:00

假期无所事事吗？
不是
至少我留在新加坡，做我的Final year project，
至少有到公司学习的机会，
却不知道可不可以享受这个最后一个冬季假期

当每个人都回家了，我还在学校做project
当每个人都去度假了，我还在做工

这，就是我假期的行程
不为了什么
只为了下个学期可以轻轻松松度过就好了

朋友语录

2011-11-15T17:33:00.000-08:00

只要克服心中的障碍，必定能活得更自在

别再为他流泪了，你可以把以前和他的回忆慢慢抹去

对，是需要时间，时间肯定可以冲淡一切

只是你太敏感

别再为他流泪了

你应该活得比他更好，更自在，更精彩

要知道人难得活得精彩自在，好好珍惜，不要转牛角尖了

十年

2011-11-06T04:49:00.000-08:00

十年后，再遇见你...
你是谁了？我又是谁了?
我离中心点越来越远，圈子越来越大。是否能找到会到中点的路呢?

Wedding day: Quote of the day

2011-10-24T03:17:00.000-07:00

Quote of the day when we arrived at Bride's house to fetch her. Before that, brothers (Groom's side) have to overcome few challenges or games set up by the Sisters (Bride's side)

Brothers : (Screaming tone) " 啦啦声出来!!!!!(Cantonese)"

Life: 《那些年，我们一起追的女孩》vs 那些年，我被你们玩的日子

2011-10-17T09:41:00.000-07:00

~~那些年，我们一起追的女孩，~~ 那些年，我被你们玩的日子

记得以前小时候，朋友当中如果谁对谁好，四周围的人都会认定：“哦！你们有一腿..”之类的话都会散播四处。

那些年，突然好怀念。当然，小弟我也不例外，被人这样说，或者到反过来说人家都有，想起那个时候，真的很爽！

所以，我个人认为，这部电影的卖点，就是勾起我们高中的回忆，让它深入我们的内心，然后，不知不觉地就这样被它感动到~

感动归感动，下一个事情真的是个天大的恶作剧。
那天，在staff club,我和一群朋友在玩牌。游戏规则是要是抽到最小的牌，就得做一些白痴的东西。那么巧，我就被抽到最小的那个!!
所以说，就这样我的facebook就满wall是留言（流言）....搞得我不懂怎样回应。
感叹 - 那些年，我被你们玩的日子

Life NTU: Blood Donation

2011-10-13T17:12:00.000-07:00

Note: I don't have any photos for this post because I was sleeping during the donation. Next time will provide some if I were still awake. haha

Well, talking about blood donation and one thing I am afraid of is absolutely the needle with the large diameter.
The needle penetrated my veins and I saw a lot of extracted Ribena flowed out of my body.
Once I saw them, I fell into strange mode. Why do I say so?

I fell happy because it's called donation. A charity right?
I fell dizzy at the same time, lack of blood etc.
I was laughing in the room!

Blood donation aftermaths, painful and energy-less hand(which you have donated your blood with)
Talking nonsense (only applicable to me)

Life : Song - 还是要幸福

2011-10-08T09:27:00.000-07:00

Have no idea why this song pops up in my mind in a sudden. Story of life keeps going on whether you like or not, you are lonely or not, you are happy or not, you've screwed it or otherwise. You need happiness~

The happiness is needed( What this song tells us)

Life NTU: Starbucks in NTU

2011-10-05T05:59:00.000-07:00

Different atmosphere in NTU when Starbucks Coffee opened this morning.

I still use to drink the Nescafe and the chocolate chip cream from Starbucks itself. I will never get myself asleep whenever I drink coffee.

Better keep myself away from this until the exam period~ wahaha

Life：这样的脆弱，好可怕

2011-09-28T18:36:00.000-07:00

最近的面子书，有点不一样。Interface换了新花样，很多人埋怨为什么每次都换，其实如果不换，换的后来是人们不玩Facebook了，没有新意，所以Facebook主人当然每次都会更新interface,来吸引全部人逗留在这，不然就像以前的Friendster这样。
最近，我也看到一个吓到我的消息，高中在一起的情侣到现在应该有一个4年了吧，就酱分了。我就在想，是什么让两人感情脆弱呢？说分就分？还是这些年来走得比较辛苦，然后到最后双方妥协不来，结果就酱你情我愿的分了（推测-ing全部情侣分手的原因）。我什么都不懂（朋友分手的原因），也不想猜什么原因。但就只有好好祝福他们日后相见还是好朋友。感情是那么的脆弱吗？如果是真的，好可怕。有什么办法来解决呢?

情绪小品-叮当大长篇-眼泪

2011-09-23T12:57:00.000-07:00

每一次看叮当的大长篇，总会有感动的眼泪。
故事情节简单，但是触动我们每个人的心。

有时候，总觉得人长大了，缅怀过去不好，把视线放在长远的未来路途。但是，没有以前，怎么会有将来呢？

大雄永远都是5个主角里面最笨的那一个，但是，勇气可嘉。
有时候，我也想成为大雄，那个笨笨的傻傻的，但是有勇气面对困难。我还需要更有那一种勇气~

我其实是个很简单的人，不需要很多东西，只是需要少许的感动，少许的色彩，来添加整个生活的画面。我不需要五月天的感动，我不需要偶像剧般的生活，我只需要我要我的生活。
小小的生活，大大的精彩～谢谢你，叮当

也许这已经成为我生活的习惯

你的微笑胜过一切

2011-09-15T06:09:00.000-07:00

不懂怎么形容，微笑就是一个很有力量的武器。
它带给每个人欢乐，也让心情不愉快的人也慢慢转好。
你就是那么有那种魅力，让四周的人都开开心心。
不是夸大其词，是真的~
因为我也被这些微笑感染了..

20 academic weeks to go..Time to motivate myself again!

2011-09-12T09:59:00.000-07:00

Now, what I have to do is to do everything I think which is worth. 20 more weeks to go, academically. And my uni life will end just like that.
Probably, what I regret the most is I did something wrong and did not get the forgiveness from a friend. She was a good friend of mine and what I did was just too wrong.
If everything is settled, I think my uni life is just fine ( but not perfect, in this term, I mean good ). The only thing I miss a lot is the long lost friendship and sorrow in the heart.
This 20 weeks to go, too many things to be done. One of them is the final year project. A compulsory shitty project which has to be done in order to graduate. Other side assignments are also nuisance for me! Sometimes, these things demotivate me and I try my best to cope them all. No matter how nuisance they are, I have to treat them with great responsibility. These are my jobs, my profession, my responsibility.
What really motivates me now is the moment when friends and I got along~

Mid Autumn Festival

2011-09-10T20:36:00.000-07:00

He looked excited with the mooncake

Lanterns

The Mid Autumn Festival is a yearly celebration by Chinese around the world. This year, the celebration was a bit different for me because I was given an honour to bring my foreign country friend, Johan (left), a Swede who is interested in Chinese culture! There were a lot of activities going on, such as games, the Chinese riddles under the lantern (灯谜), mooncake making, stage performance, handicraft, the modernized fortune teller and so on.

Mooncake with “圆” on it

So, we took the lantern for free at the entrance of the garden. I also brought him around the garden to look for interesting activities. One of them was mooncake making. It's weird that we made the mooncake and we can't eat it because the event organizers mentioned it's due to hygienic reason and it's better not for us to consume. Well, we did the reverse thing. Eventually, Johan and I ate it. And for the first time, he made his own mooncake and me too! The word on the mooncake was “圆”，physical meaning is round, literally means reunion. It is a truly meaningful word and yet, I haven't explain the meaning to him.
At that night, I was very happy because I did something great to us (Chinese). I introduced the culture, the meaning, the origin and the activities of the MAF to a foreign friend. This is truly an honour for me, the ambassador.

情绪小波动的夜晚

2011-09-04T19:00:00.000-07:00

昨晚，和友人聊天。聊着聊着，被她点了一下，情绪有点小波动。
但是，过了一下子，情绪慢慢地缓和了下来。

虽然不怎么样，也许这是我的弱点，也是大部分人的特征。
情绪是人类的七情六欲表露的一个管道，所以，凡人都是这样吧。

我承认我需要好好地管理自己，我已经很久没有这样情绪化了。
也许我已经长大了，慢慢把以前的事情抛开，埋在潜意识里。
也许昨天的那一个话题，就是我以后的致命伤。我应该要好好地管理自己，自己的情绪，自己的事情。

我应该很感谢我的朋友，让我情绪有点小波动，因为最近忙到麻木了，需要一点生活小调剂。把我的心情带到谷底也把我的心情拉到高处。
昨晚，我们都有过美好的夜晚....

Photography : Green Building - School of ADM, NTU

2011-08-26T09:07:00.000-07:00

What is Green Building actually? Coloured in green or any other concept?

Perhaps this building can explain it all: School of Art, Design and Media in Nanyang Technological University, which was awarded BCA Green Mark Platinum Award. The concept is environmental friendly and the special rooftop is planted with grass and that's why it was awarded such a prestigious award in Singapore!

Feature:
Grass rooftop to allow absorption of rainwater instead of flowing into the drainage system of the school.

Large atrium to capture the ventilation in the centre of the building, air is allowed to circulate in the centre of the building due to its curvature shape of the facade.

Low emissivity glass is used as the facade of the building. The glass is also used as the curtain wall of the building. Allowing more light to shine in, this can reduce the use of electricity for lighting.

Curtain wall, internal shot of building

Curvature look of the building and the glass itself show aesthetic of building

Water also plays important part in the building. The element of cooling is situated in the centre of the building. Along with the ventilation, i.e. the circulation of the air, this will further reduce the temperature in the centre of the building.

Water element is used in architecture of the building, as cooling element

Hiding nowhere

2011-08-21T08:34:00.000-07:00

Where can I hide anyway?

Hiding nowhere:
You will never know what will happen next. Where can you hide? Just calm yourself down and wait for the right time and matters to come.

I never have such luck in such situation

2011-08-19T01:06:00.000-07:00

~I never have such good luck in this kinda situation~

You know what? There's a welcome week in NTU and the Student Union organized the lucky draw session in the final day of the Welcome Week. So, there were Samsung ST700 camera, Samsung Netbook and 3 Ipad 2 with 3G plan free to give away!!!

I waited for the lucky draw session from 3pm to 330pm, and for your information, 3 IPAD 2 with 3G plan free is really an exciting thing to celebrate for. Well, I never have such luck in lucky draw session in public events. So do for this Welcome Week~~ sigh~

The Ipad 2 I held was from one of my juniors, who was super tremendous lucky to get it!! So jealous!!!

Book: World in 2050 CD: Still Point by Jeanette Alexander

Quite a long time I have been waiting for the arrival of the parcel from USA. Behold !!! World in 2050 by Laurence Smith.

For the CD, it's such a coincidence when I passed by a CD booth in the canteen and I listened to the music played by the DJ, asking him who played this music. Without have a second thought, I bought it! A great piece of CD and the pianist, Jeanette Alexander won the Grammy Awards with this album(according to the DJ/seller)

交叉点，左右难了

2011-08-14T07:25:00.000-07:00

大学乃训练人的耐性和态度的地方。它不只是让学生读书那么简单，它还给我添加不少问题和麻烦。是非题总在人生（我用得比较宏观一点）交叉点出现。
其实，这几天我做的东西有错吗？

～交叉点陆续登场，我好累～

为了一个公平竞争开放和开明的学生竞选，站在自己的立场是没有问题。
但是换个角度，又好像弄乱了整个未来组织的结构。
难道，我所向往的净选是没有那么容易会出现的?!!!!感觉上会害到人家一样，我很内疚，我感觉上我做错了~

2011-08-01T17:47:00.000-07:00

I come across this book during my visit to Popular Bookstore. It has only chinese version and for the English version, I have to browse through ebay to get it.

Luckily, there's something like that on Ebay!
woo!!!!!!
Anyway, I bought both Chinese and English version of this book. This book explains how the earth evolves from the beginning of human civilization until the year of 2050. I haven't started to read it. I think I need time to read it. A lot of time to read it but final year study is coming soon.
It means that I really have no time to read them.

Why do I suggest this book? Firstly, this book explains clearly what will happen in the future through various research conducted by the prof in UCLA( this is the main reason why I bought this book! UCLA prof explanation !) 2ndly, of course, the attractive cover drew my attention at first! haha..

是远见？还是好高骛远？

2011-07-21T07:32:00.000-07:00

有人说我有远见，也有人说我好高骛远。
其实，当你把你会预见的实践的话，就是有远见。
当你把你想要的讲出来，但是没有做出来，这个就是好高骛远。
小弟我，偶尔太过好高骛远。说的出来，未必做得到。我太抱歉，一直都在说谎。

以前，当选择要念哪一间大学的时候，我就在想、在选择，究竟哪一间才是我需要的。
在那个时候，我从来没有想过我想要的。
因为我知道，我想要的从来都不能实现。所以，我跟着时代的要求，追求我需要的。
时代需要的是适应，时代需要的是远见。这样，社会才能进步。否则，没有远见，没有开放，没有适应，社会就会退步。（我在暗喻某某xxxxxxxxxx)

好高骛远不是说不好，只要有去实践的话，目标肯定会达到，这样才是好的。太过天马行空的东西，简直是不能采取的方案。所以，做人终究一步一步来还是比较实际。

Hong Kong - Pearl of the East

2011-07-16T23:41:00.000-07:00

I was very excited when I heard that I got the chance to travel to Hong Kong. However, in my perception, Hong Kong is a very special place. How special?
Firstly, it is a special administrative region of China, same as Macau.
Secondly, it is a mix culture of west and east.
Thirdly, with the big area of Hong Kong, the developed part of Hong Kong is only less than 40% of the area.( FYI, Singapore is much more smaller than Hong Kong and still, the island itself has almost fully developed due to geographical reason.)

According to local residence, Hong Kong is a tax-free port. So, whatever we buy here, the GST(Goods and Services Tax） is not included and hence the things here are cheaper than that in Singapore! Well, it's true enough when I bought the Eclipse( a sugar-free mint product by Wrigley's ) in Hong Kong only costed me around HKD 12.6 while in Singapore is around SGD 3.50!!!! The food in Hong Kong is absolutely must-try thingy! The tea, baked rice, polo bun, dim sum and so on!! (Further pictures in Facebook)

Recommendation: Actually, if we have enough budget, we can stay in a much more decent hotel or resort! So, it's good to have a good plan before going to a place. Luckily it's Hong Kong instead of Korea as I can understand and can communicate in Cantonese!

当我听到我的supervisor说他从来没有给过attachment student grade A的时候，我心开始酸气来了。
现在成绩卡在中间的我其实我只需要在接下来的两个学期考满分，就可能可以拿到first class。
但是呢，再想想，接下来的两个学期，一共有8个科目需要做assignment，赢完了咯，一直以来有assignment的科目都拿到不好的成绩。所以，就辛苦了。

但是再想想，其实，A不A有那么重要吗？
我在UPS有学到东西吗？
仔细想了一想：
我要感谢很多人，我的经理，我的工程师们都是我的导师。他们给了我不少教导，我很感激他们。
尤其是在工程管理方面，是课堂上从来学习不到的东西，在工地里竟然学习不少。
而且，因为工地都是很和气的一个地方，大伙儿相处得还蛮开心，比起其他的同学们，我觉得我还算很幸运。

拿到B，我觉得没什么，因为我觉得我所学的是物超所值，所谓一分耕耘，一分收获。这句话让我深深体会到它背后的意义。
我不懂其他人的A是怎样来的，他们的付出有多少小弟不懂。
但是，我懂我的B是怎样来的，至少不是利用什么关系来争取，得到的也对得起良心，而且，实习期间也让我把人生观放得更开。
未来职场上，难免会有摩擦，跟上司也是一样，不同的意见总会有的。
所以，趁现在就锻炼自己。
我对我自己说，怎样都会做好自己的分内事，无论上司，经理的要求有多高，都尽力尽量地满足他们。如果他们说OK，我就放心了，应该不会有很大问题了。
就算他们还不满意，但是我们是学生的事实是无法改变的，他们还是会体谅我们的能力。

这个大家庭，我永远记得你们。你们给了我很多：知识，处事态度，改变观点，人际关系，技术。和大家和睦相处的日子我会记着你们，希望这项工程能顺利完成，加油UPS！

Malaysia Boleh!但是它真的Boleh 吗??

2011-06-14T16:10:00.000-07:00

Malaysia，我的国家，我成长的地方。
就算它几堕落，它依然是我爱的国家。
国家归国家，政府归政府，政策归政策。
一个好的政府+一个烂的国家====>好国家；
一个好的国家+一个烂的政府====>烂国家；
一个好国家+一个好政府+一个烂政策====>烂国家。
所以说，政策方面还是需要改进。从老马开始说起的马来西亚能！它到底可以“能”到几时？
为了保住权利地位，官员们和一些极端分子都利用政策来镇压其他种族。
为了利益，贪污不断，这个吃那个也吃，吃到国库空虚。
好了，马来西亚能!!
能破产!这个是肯定的事情，国家尽管天然资源丰富，一旦没有好好利用，都是等于零的。
能把人才不断送出去！国家没有的发展。
一个好的苹果既然有那么大的虫在里面，投资者看了也心寒。

话不多说，我期待的是，马来西亚到底“能”到多久，才肯把Jib哥的那个高收入社会实现。
我的所谓高收入不是2000 ～3000，而是多于4000的月入。3000能养活谁啊请问？

透明度呢？
公平呢？
奖学金分配大家有目共睹的，所以还是离理想情况差了一载。

人民的心声不可忽略，华社每次都很像很可怜。其实，还有更可怜的社会。所以，有时候，华社别太刚愎自用，或许用另外的一个角度去探讨，你会发现其实你已经算不错了~

Introduction to Civil Engineering - Laymen version

2011-06-04T18:26:00.000-07:00

All laymen understand civil engineers build something. Yes. Civil engineering is a field where you can discover engineers are busy doing the building jobs apparently. Actually, it can be categorized into three main branches.
Compare to what I knew few years ago(all I knew was build and build and build) and now, civil engineering can be divided into structural consultants, contractors and developers.

DEVELOPERS:

Both of the companies above are the leading developers in Singapore. Their main job scope is drafting out master planning for the area bought, recruiting consultants and architects to design the building they want to develop and also involve in tendering projects. How do civil engineers get involved in this developer's job? Their involvement make great decision in developing an area such as planning skills and the structural knowledge prior to the submission of the plan layout to the architects and consultants(who will make a deeper analysis in design).

STRUCTURAL CONSULTANTS:

Structural consultants do the structural design job. Putting the imposed loads and dead loads into their calculations and then solve the problems. Other than putting imposed loads or dead loads, they also work out to design the beams, inserting the column into the buildings, design the reinforcement to the whole concrete structures and etc. Most of the structural consultants are preferable to have a great analytical skills, which means their brain are more powerful than a computer software( could it be?).

CONTRACTORS:

Before the building jobs begin, the contractors work out the master planning or the milestones of the building projects and also the schedule of the building jobs. This is to make sure every single detail of the plan can be followed accordingly. After getting the design works from architects and consultants( there are many consultants out there in different field involving in one project, like M&E, landscape, kitchen etc.), the contractors can start their building works, starting from piling to superstructures. They also need to coordinate with sub-contractors to make sure every building job is properly done. Site engineers always prepare to solve the on-site problems immediately or issue the problems to consultants.

In conclusion, few years ago, when I was firstly introduced to civil engineering, I thought it is only main contractors job. However, with the exposure of the internship recently, it is not only that. The three categories sum up the job scope of a civil engineer!

Future is in our hands

2011-05-28T04:49:00.000-07:00

For the sake of the future, we have to move on.
No matter what it takes for Malaysia to be bankrupt in 2019, I should have be in other country and work there, stay there either temporarily or permanently. It has no guidelines or law at all for a person to become another country's servant. It's just the matter of moral.

Bankruptcy of a country means a lot. It means the depreciate of the currency of the country, the great inflation in the country, the huge capital outflow from the country(means no more attraction for foreign investment and means no economy growth) and also the failure of the government in controlling the under table trade(corruption). This is due to the inefficiency of the government in the policies they made.

Economy of Malaysia should expand from year to year and the Vision 2020 was established because the PM at that time saw the future of Malaysia as one of the developed country in Asia. However, the financial crisis hit Malaysia and plus the corruption in the country worsened the situation, with big expenditure in the mega projects. The agency in charge of anti-corruption failed to execute their mission and hence dragged the country into greater downturn. In addition, the irrational policies which induced anger from the non-Malay(some Malay) citizens, forcing them to move away from this country. Brain drainage happens.

For the sake of future, this is a globalization era. When I was young, my teacher always tell us that children are the country's pillar in the future. Now, I realize that, children not only the pillar of the country itself, they are also the pillar of this world. Globalization makes all happen. The no-boundary concept and the open-minded policy in some countries dare to accept the foreign talent to develop their own country for example Singapore. We can cooperate and work together to develop the country which does not belong to us. All we need to do is to treat it as our homeland..the Earth! However, before we can cooperate and work together, we must understand the local culture to avoid misunderstanding and communication break down.

In conclusion, a country with abundant natural resources should be appreciated by citizens. These advantages can create many job opportunities if the government is brilliant enough to implement the good policies. But, if a country is governed by a government which lacks of efficiency, productivity, transparency, justice and trustworthy, then, the country will soon be doomed by this kind of government.

Trust me, a good country with a corrupted government, will never be a good combination.

所谓

“天降大任于斯人，必先劳其胫骨，苦其心志”，

我觉得一时间发生那么多的事情，是让我从中吸取忙中带乱的经验。希望这一次的经验让我获益良多~

又老一岁了~

原来，有很多东西都丢不得

2011-05-08T02:56:00.000-07:00

一边收拾房间，顺便来个大扫除，弄了差不多半天了..
看见以前的背包们，想丢都丢不得，因为它们陪我度过很多难关，但是不丢的话，东西累积的越来越多，就搬得很吃力。
不懂要怎样才好，丢掉还是不丢呢?

不止这样，老妈送给我的手表我也差一点连背包一起丢掉。幸好当时没有把那个背包丢掉，我看到那只手表，特别开心!

才发现，原来有很多东西都丢不得~

Career

2011-05-07T09:55:00.000-07:00

Future career is settled..
I hope it will be true and it's my first choice company...
Seems a very unbelievable and very amazing experience I had gone through, Arup gives me the chance to let me shine!

又到了这个时候

2011-04-28T07:19:00.000-07:00

又是这个时候，
为什么是我呢？
我很累，
怎样才能不累呢？
看见很多事物都随着自己的改变而改变。
好遗憾，在我没变之前没有去珍惜它。
怎么突然这样呢？
我还是以前那个我吗？

Standard ?

2011-04-22T04:19:00.000-07:00

Is there any standard thing in the world?
Perhaps when you are talking about the language, there's no such standard or world recognized standard.
Even the ranking of the university reported by the QS also not a standard one. So where is the standard?

For language, we can only say locally standardized. Malay and English are locally standardized. Singapore and Malaysia use British( as from British colonial ) and America uses their own one.

Malay is also the same. In Malaysia, the Malay language is standardized by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, an authority( can I use authority instead of Body? ) and we, the rakyat who learn the language in schools have to follow every changes made by DBP.
In Indonesia, they have their own style as influenced by the Dutch colonial. And believed that Indonesia Malay is the most original Malay because the Malay language in Malaysia has been changed from time to time and also many words are borrowed from English or Portuguese.

QS in the making of the rank of university also has their own rating. So, everything which is standardized is just for reference.
For chemical substance, there's a standard name for the chemical name from IUPAC.
Standard is not standard...So, for something, we don't have real standard, so, we follow the local standard.

Funny conversation and situation

2011-04-18T07:55:00.000-07:00

Situation A:
A: hey, can I ask you something?
B: Yeah, sure. What is that?
A: Is there any sponsorship easy to get cash?
B: erm..yea..like Hong Leong Foundation, CLCF, etc..
A: Hong Leong?? how to say in chinese?
B: Hong Leong is 丰隆，丰胸的丰，隆胸的隆...
A: -.=""

Situation B:
One day, there's a friend of mine, made a silly joke in the website and annoyed other friends. In fact, he was just fooling around and didn't take note of the consequences. Anyway, he decided to stop playing those kinda things.
In the end, when he logged into the account and the website asked the reason why he terminates the usage. His reason is ------ I am an annoying person -------

Situation C:
In the working place, there're a lot of people with different virtues and attitudes. One day, one of my colleague told me about his friend's wife story. It sounds like this..
"I was really regret of not accompanying my wife into the giving birth room." "Why?" My colleague asked.
"Coz, I forgot to ask the doctor in-charge to sew few more needles...sigh" ........

友谊-这种感觉不会流失

2011-04-14T08:55:00.000-07:00

读了同事的部落，看到他终于找到了靠岸，也肯踏踏实实地交个女朋友，真的替他高兴。
不是说我羡慕还是妒忌，我承认以前是那种人，现在，我什么都不理了。
感觉这种东西很难说，朋友/家人都叫我找个，我就和他们说：“放心吧，我会慢慢来的。缘分嘛，说不定下一秒就是了。”

对朋友（异性）难免都会有好感，但是，这种感觉不会流失的。
因为，相信科学的你们都知道正负相吸的道理。这也是在我们日常生活中肯定一定有的感觉。
知己也好，情侣也好，都是从朋友开始，而朋友的感觉是不会流失的。

相信现在，他已经明白了这个道理，人长大了应该要踏踏实实地找一位和他共事共苦共甜的伴。
很高兴，同事们结婚都会请我去。凑个热闹也好，总而言之，人，就是要开开心心过日子。
无论身在沙巴，英国，KL，还是Sarawak的你们，我们这份友谊的感觉不会流失的，我都永远相信。

是的，我相信

重蹈复撤

2011-03-21T06:24:00.000-07:00

有多少样东西我做错了,然后还是会继续犯错..

而且还越错越离谱...

我不想这样,我以为我成长了,结果还是一样重蹈复撤....没有的家伙...

你好！陌生人

2011-03-20T06:14:00.000-07:00

如果遇不上你，我还会认识你吗，陌生人?

感觉；理智

2011-03-18T09:09:00.000-07:00

感觉每次都是错的。无论你如何去决定，
到最后如果理智醒过来，
然后说：“其实，你错了。”

"能改吗？还可以回头吗？”
“应该可以”

“但是，我觉得我好像已经越踩越深了，还可以吗？你能救我出来吗？”
“救不得....”

为什么每次等到差不多要泥足深陷的时候才发现，原来感性/感觉已经超越理智呢?

虚荣心

2011-03-13T06:13:00.000-07:00

以前觉得身边的东西没什么怎样比得上人家，也无所谓...

我还以为，我不会对任何东西的诱惑感到动摇..

结果，来了新加坡后，对身边的事物越来越感兴趣，越来越有那种渴望，往往理智已经被埋没了..

在有金钱的诱惑和物质上的享受的左右，虚荣心凸显出它的威力..

要拥有这个原本就不属于我的东西，根本就是一种虚荣...

难道，真的那么难逃避这个虚荣心吗?

没有你

2011-03-09T06:33:00.000-08:00

没有你的深夜不能入睡

没有你开了灯都很漆黑

没有你的影子拿什么跟随

没有你看不见夜色的美

没有你的咖啡不能麻醉

没有你我是谁都无所谓

没有你叫我宝贝我连哭都不配

没有你我该吻谁的嘴

没有你的酸酶怎么嚼都无味

没有你谁显得我珍贵

没有你我们的之间还能有谁

没有你就像断了手臂

没有你的滋味没有笑没有泪

没有你我将要学会慢慢崩溃

只能说，有时候，没有你，我的日子应该要怎么过才算精彩呢?

有时候，人还是需要一点关怀和一点爱，才算得上享受生活的一部分...

不管在那里，我都是会这样，好好过我自己的生活，让别人开心，同时也让自己的生活过得充实...

comment pls??

2011-03-04T06:32:00.000-08:00

Recently, I struggled when I was thinking of my future..
Thinking of which decision would be better off...
Further my studies in PhD or work as an engineer( consultant is my choice actually rather than a contractor)?

Have no idea...with PhD may offer a better situation, maybe?
Here is the comparison:

PhD : continue study if I got second class upper division, I will have scholarship to further my study as a full time student and also as a tuition grant bonded project officer to serve for 3 years and study for 4 years. The stipend is quite satisfying and less than what we will have out there (work)

Work: In order to get into a better company, 1st class student has the priority and I am only second upper.
The salary is tempting from a good company and also with a good employee welfare...with more and more construction projects booming in Singapore, there's no excuse for a civil engineering student not to find a job..

So?? The main question is ..which should I choose? PhD? Work?

Comment pls....

It shouldn't happen!!

2011-02-23T07:43:00.000-08:00

Well, on Sunday afternoon when I was using my dear Compaq laptop, it was smiling at me...It was still Ok I meant. I was using it to do my internship stuff and my friend said he wanted to borrow for his final year project his own was in the workshop to repair.

I lent him and of course, I will switch it off before handed it over to him.

At night, he called me and told me that the laptop showed nothing but black screen. I never experience this before and I just knew there was blue screen but about black screen..no, never heard of it.
So, I went to his room and checked it out. WTH!!! It's really a big problem for me and I asked him to help me to let the pro check. The next day, he brought my laptop to diagnose the problem---->Motherboard problem!!

Again...FYI, if the motherboard spoilt, you have to change the whole laptop instead of repairing it because repairing motherboard costs a lot!!! and here is the amount SGD 857!!
Of course, I will not repair it instead, I bought a new laptop today! Big bleeding in my wallet...T.T

So, in the end...I bought it! $899 with i5 intel processor, 4GB DDR3 RAM, windows 7 ...blah blah ..inside..

Who asked when I need you the most, you 're gone!!!T.T...Keep bleeding my wallet....

Here goes my S95...no more...-.="

诱惑的街

2011-02-17T22:56:00.000-08:00

演唱:林忆莲

这样深的夜下过雨的街
连星光就要熄灭你赴的是什么样的约
原无意说这些
只是对你还有感觉
以为一切残缺
都能用爱解决
可是我除了爱你
没有别的凭借
话由真心
才说的如此直接
也许是夜色让人不知胆怯
有了我你是否什么都不缺
心再野也知道该拒绝
有什么心结难解
竟让你离不开这一切
只是你生在诱惑的街
只是你生在沉伦的午夜
血里的狂野对真实与幻觉
已无分别

所以你也无从察觉

情由何时冷却
你从来不了解
心痛有多么强烈
不知若要我为爱妥协
我宁愿它幻灭
有了我你应该什么都不缺
心再野也知道该拒绝
有什么心结难解竟然让你离不开这一切
只是你身在诱惑的街
只是你身在沉沦的午夜
血里的狂野对真实与幻觉
已无分别
若是我生在诱惑的街
若是我生在沉伦的午夜
你的心是否会为我而淌血
从此心绝

次次听，都听不厌...也许写着我的状况，听了也陶醉..

不知道要如何把自己从诱惑的街抽出来...

The developers: Keppel Land + Capitaland

2011-02-12T22:56:00.000-08:00

The developer is always the big boss..
They are the main client and their words are the golden rules..

So, if you want to be the boss, you just need to join those developer companies, earn big money and have the big words!

Both Keppel Land and Capitaland share the biggest property ranking in this country and I have no doubt that their shares keep rising from day to day due to stable development and of course the well establishment of the companies.

现代男人的三“不”

2011-02-07T06:03:00.000-08:00

现在，人们忙碌的生活，为了更美好的生活，都埋头于工作，没什么时间去理会感情生活，甚至有家的人开始慢慢忽略家人。
人们都说，现代男人也很难做...物价高得不像样，薪水才那么一点点，要凑老婆本也可能要花上十年，也可能需要走偏门才可能把钱凑够..

那一天在youtube看了黄子华的栋笃笑，里面就有一句，现代男生有三“不”
1）不主动-不主动去搭讪或者约女生出门/不主动做一样东西
2）不抗拒-对啊，当事情到了尽头的时候，往往来者不拒
3）不负责-很多例子，但是我不方便透露...haha...

其实，生活上，基本上如果我把最后的那个“不”，变成“步”的话，就好看得多...
"步“步为营....做什么事都好，三思而后行，都是我们现代人都要有的心态。
因为我们看的东西多了，想法也会随着社会的脚步而跟进..而且也因为诱惑多了，所以更应该把事情看得一清二楚-考虑考虑。

小弟不是圣人，想的东西必有漏洞...所以，希望都可以办得到"步”步为营。

My job past-now-future

2011-02-01T01:24:00.000-08:00

My job:

as a student :

study, do homework, being scolded by lecturers and tutors in case not doing any of them

organizing events, being criticized by publics about the noisiness of the event, the poor conduction of the whole event

Exam is stressful, but the time upon seeing the results---> like nothing..

sleep, ain't enough coz always sleep inside the lecture theatre and also the tutorial sessions.

stress level: still managable

as an intern :

go to work on time,

squeeze inside the MRT in the mornings and evenings

being scolded by supervisors, supervisors' supervisor, clients etc.( means 四面楚歌）

go back to room late(for sure!)

no exam stress, but got credit hour(AU) stress once your grade in internship kns

salary damn!

stress level: moderate

as an engineer:

go to work on time,

squeeze inside the MRT in the mornings and evenings

being scolded by supervisors, supervisors' supervisor, clients etc.( means 四面楚歌）

go back to room late(for sure!)

have to rush for the project 24 hours non stop whenever is necessary

salary still ok but all has to be compensated to the psychiatrist and the high rental fee

stress level: damn high

Conclusion: student's life is still very colourful and enjoy as much as possible!!!!

-"Study is always the most enjoyable thing to do on earth where you are free to learn anything unless you have to pay for it. Just don't know why the hell the government likes to increase the tuition fee until I have to learn it myself!!! Realize the concept ourselves sometimes is better than being taught by the lecturers with communication problem"- Anonymous

“Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”- albert einstein

家的美

幸福来了要握着，快乐虽然短暂，但是只要好好珍惜就会有好结果...

Industrial Attachment

2011-01-26T15:10:00.000-08:00

I am having the industrial attachment i.e. internship (IA) from 24th Jan till 25th June.
It's considered as a long period where I have to fully concentrated in the internship( which is far more stressful than the normal study life). I seriously want my study life back!!

Perhaps, it is still too early to describe what I am doing now because these 3 days, I sit in the company's site office and do all the superficial things like knowing the operation of the site and read the technical drawing. It's ..xxxx....Maybe it is the basic thing I have to know 1st but I really cannot stand for it especially after lunch time. It is the easiest period to have a "fishing" time! So, I really don't want to get myself into trouble when my supervisor sees this. haha..

Well, brief introduction about the project: five star hotel cum office with the new construction technology(I CANNOT ENCLOSE THIS!) by my company ( one of the best main contractor in Singapore) .
The above picture shows the hotel and office, still under construction and I am having fun to participate in this project too..especially when my supervisor arranged the schedule for me( understanding the formwork! ).

That's all from me..

老人与小孩 - Charity Drive

2011-01-21T08:44:00.000-08:00

老人，总是带着忧郁的神情,偶尔会开心地笑笑；
小孩，每次都是东吵西闹的，非常地热闹。

对于老人，我本身还可以和他们聊天，还聊得很开呢。但是小孩子的话呢，就不行了。
真的会有gap咧。

Charity Drive虽然我只当了一天的义工，但是，看得到蛮多的东西，也体会到以前从来都没有想到的。老人家其实很可怜，每天都做同样的东西来度过每一天；而小孩呢，放学后，就到托儿所那边，被看管照顾，看管从来不打他们，只用哨子来喝止他们的行动。

同样的东西不能每天做，这是我的原则。如果真的到了那么一天，我还是孤零零的一个人，行动不便，我会不会像他们一样呢？我希望不会，更希望能够尽早完成我的工作和梦想，然后再做我最想做的事情，那就真的很好了。

Charity Drive是个非常有意义的活动，让我在这次那么一天也是那么的一次体会到不同的事物。

It's alright, right?

2011-01-17T10:07:00.000-08:00

OMG, I can't believe that one of my core subjects screwed up like this..-.=""

My mood is neutral and I am just fine as we get into third year of our uni life, results will not affect significantly as a whole. So, why do I bother so much?

Enjoy my remaining days before internship!!!!

天空的蓝，大地的绿，大海的清 - 大自然的美

2011-01-15T07:10:00.000-08:00

天空的蓝，让我想飞向那个宽阔的天；

大地的绿，让我想在这草原上狂奔。

不知为什么，每次到了高原地区，我都会觉得很舒服。不是冷的舒服，而是心灵上自由的舒服。

不用理会别的事情，也不用理会外面世界发生什么事。

这里拥有着我的生命，我的灵魂。

我想，生活在这边的人们都会很自由吧。

海边，我等着潮起潮落。

螃蟹挖洞造家，水母上岸，都是大自然的美。

海浪走了，卷走我的哀愁；

海风吹来，把一种思念吹了过来。

喜欢听大自然的声音，因为大自然是最美妙的，大自然的声音是毫无吵杂的。

它有着我种种的心情，感觉。

天的蓝，地的绿，海的清，是那么的纯真。

2011年，新的理念-新的气息

2011-01-10T03:04:00.000-08:00

新的理念，新的气息。
仿佛那个昨天，还记忆犹新，觉得自己还是不够好。
接下来的一年里，除了IA, URECA之外，也要尽量地提升自己对自己的了解，对别人的了解。
总是觉得没有好好地静下来想一想，到底有时候是别人影响了自己还是自己的野心遮盖了自己的良心和眼睛。

那一天，在家乡和阔别已久的亲戚（阿姨还有她们的家人）一起吃饭。说着说着，他们就拿他们的孩子和我比较。说真的，我不大会反驳他们，所以到最后我还是没有去理他们。
回到家时，我就和老妈子和老爸讲了这些。他们就说：“他们，书读得不是多，所以才想得那样。”

我再仔细地想一下，其实，为什么我要和他们一般见识呢？我有我的自由，我的理念，我的方法嘛。而且，跟他们一般见识就拉低自己了。所以，从不同方面去想，就会有不同的结果了。

到现在我才post这个部落格是因为如果一个人post太多无谓的东西，到头来，什么都是垃圾。
新的想法，新的理念，我不懂其他人接受与否，那个是个人自由，但是，让他人接受，对我来说是个挑战了。

是时候要把自己放得更开了，这一路以来都是我要踏出下一步最大的绊脚石。

Flashback 2010

2010-12-30T17:53:00.000-08:00

I can't remember anything because too many things happened in the beginning.
I can't recall what really happens this year and I feel that I am unable to do like what I did past 2 years.
Anyway, I remembered that I went to Tioman with friends for the 1st time and also Penang for the 1st time.

A great experience from both paradises. Food Paradise - Penang ; Relax Paradise - Tioman

I ate a lot of delicious food in Penang, there were too many to describe as I ate for 5 days in Penang.

Asam Laksa, the prawn noodles, Butu Mayam, Rojak, Char kuey tiao etc..

Then, I also went to KL to relax after working non-stop for 3 months. I asked my supervisor to allow me relaxing for a few days. OK. Upon the National Day of Singapore, I went to KL. Just for fun. In the beginning, I didn't know where to stay. So, I just simply asked anyone in MSN to see whether anyone staying in KL and his house is available for me to stay. Ya, finally, thanks to Yoon Keat and Yoon Chee to allow me to stay. I had a wonderful moment with their family too. Speaking four different languages at the same time and sometimes there's a sudden switch to Mandarin, Hakka, Cantonese and also English. Funny.

I also bought a few books to widen my knowledge about the economics and other things. These books are absolutely great and I am really impressed.

Soccernomics - Putting the economics points of view in the soccer industry. And also some analysis from some football experts about the Barclays Premier League and Germany National Team. I like this book!

Freakonomics - From the title we read, freaky and weird. It's a different way of looking things. Sometimes, a small case can be a bigger one if you look from a different perspective. For example, the abandoned babies are related to the birth control and the crime rate. Interesting!

In lecture theatre, I kept on sleeping from the beginning of the lesson till the end! I didn't know what happened and I knew that this semester would be doomed! Furthermore, I handled too many positions in ECA and also the project by my prof. I didn't even have the time to do the tutorial problems. All I can do was just copying the solution from the tutorial class. What ashamed!

However, I managed to pick up the lesson after week 7 of the class. No more sleeping yet still copying the answers. -.="" speechless..

Till now, this is the last day of 2010. NTU still owe me money! They are supposed to pay us (URECA students) by today!!!!

FYI: URECA - Undergraduate Research Experience on CAmpus, is a program such that to provides a research experience for the undergrads prior the final year project. It's quite helpful for me because I learnt quite a lot from this program. Self learning for MATLAB, which I have no idea what it is about.

Of course, there are also downs in this year. I don't want to mention them because they are hurtful and meaningless for me.

That's all I have..

2011 has MORE TO COME!

New year resolution : New me...no more painful experience!

Arsenal and Malaysia

2010-12-29T14:40:00.000-08:00

Two matches in one day, that would be a great satisfaction for a die-hard football fan like me. But, greater disappointment for me as for a DIE-HARD Arsenal fan, they drew at Wigan side. So unfortunate to witness a draw after the ultimate win against Chelsea. Sigh..

Anyway, I am happy and proud that finally, Malaysia lifted the AFF Suzuki Cup!! AFF Suzuki Cup is the most prestigious tournament in South East Asia, which Thailand and Singapore dominated the tournament for so long. Malaysia beat Indonesia 4-2 in aggregate! They didn't lose to laser beam anymore!! The team, though did not play so well as what they had in 1st leg, they extended their gap with a wonderful goal in Indonesia. So glad to see that.

But, if the government is as competent as what the team did, I am proud of them too. Seriously, the government still has a lot of space to improve.

According to a journalist :
"‎The only thing that makes Malaysians stand together regardless of race, religion or political affiliations is when we support our national team. 1Malaysia is nothing compare to sports." (Nicholas Chan, 2010)"

True enough! Everyone is cheering for them( Football fans, if you are not one of them, just put the hands together for what they did, though it might not happen next time - it's HISTORY! ). I hope that this will not be the next Thomas Cup for you.
However, it's sad to see not even a single Chinese playing in the national team like what we had last time, for instance Dato' Soh, James Wong .....isn't there any Chinese player in the league at the moment? ( I have been long time out of the clique with the local league, sorry).

1Malaysia is not a public announcement blindly anymore. It can be a simple/great achievement through anything. For example sports! Sports unite all people regardless of race, religion or ideology. Yes, it's proven!

Well done Malaysia!

...speechless...

2010-12-27T07:34:00.000-08:00

erm...
When the money comes, everything's fine..
When the money's gone, everything's kansai...
I really have to settle myself in a financial turmoil until NTU settles my salary prior end of the year..

Going home with no pocket money in hand is definitely a problem when your friends ask you to join the gathering. So, I am thinking of being "off" when I go back later. Is it possible?(anyway, many friends are not in KK at that period)
No, for my own personality, I understand that sometimes I am an emotional person(for no reason), so, I do need some friends to chat with me. I don't want to commit any silly things!

Erm, let me think again...Recently, my mind was a bit congested. Couldn't think properly. I am truly sorry for whatever silly things I've done. and for you guys back in KK, I am a jerk.
Emotional wave struck me again and again and I don't know why when I am alone, I will be like this!

Think too much? probably..
I am finally speechless about myself..

Silent Christmas Eve

2010-12-24T06:09:00.000-08:00

For past two years, I flew back home for Christmas and this year, I choose to stay back though the exam is over two days ago. One of my friend told me to go to Orchard to look at the crowd but I am not going to pay the visit to the crowded place. I went for a Christmas Eve dinner with the friends who are still available in NTU.

I bet the situation in KK is different compared to past few years. Supposing it is more crowded than before. On the other hand, I think it's my fault to lose contact with all of my friends in KK/Malaysia. Sometimes, I think that I don't even truly exist in my friends' mind. Maybe they have their own life and their own topics. But somehow, I feel isolated whenever I go out to have a chat with them. I will never have a clique with them anymore..Perhaps, being silent is better than being nosy and noisy everytime...

Yeah..I am always alone..

.Merry Christmas everyone..

Post Examination Stress Syndrome( PESS)

2010-12-21T19:16:00.000-08:00

I am having this kinda stress after the examination is over!!
Afraid what could have come out after this, I really have to find other things to do to distract my mind.
Luckily, there're still quite many of them, for example watching new movies, dramas , and doing project for the prof. AND...Clarke Quay Exploration!
After the examination, we(Kai Ming, Choon Siong, n Yih Keng) went to Clarke Quay to take a walk and had a dinner. The dinner was a good one and I never eat a delicious Ramen before!!! But, I forgot which restaurant as the place there is too complicated for me to find out.

This is the Ramen set I mentioned just now...costs $17.50++...but very nice!!!

After that, we took a stroll along the Singapore River and the sunset bar along the river. The atmosphere is totally different because there are many tourists there and some more we will take a glance on the sexy waitresses who dressed up sexily (supposed to be like that, to attract tourists , unfortunately, I didn't take a photograph of it)

Singapore River at night

That's my update .. Can't wait for the next outings...

It's our life, isn't it?

2010-12-13T13:05:00.000-08:00

Last few days after hearing my senior talked about his friend's death and also his other friends' marriage, he added,"Seems like we are old enough to witness these kind of things. Those beloved friends, accidentally died, suicide case, get marrieds...too many stuffs happen..But, what to do? This is our lives.."

Not only this, I've heard a childhood friend of mine, disappeared for no reason and his mother called him for 10 days without any reply from him. She called me to call him, no reply too...But I have no idea what happen to him until his aunt( his mother's sis) found him by getting the SMS from him. Doing well but, curiously I want to know, what happen to him??

As I grow up, anything can happen in the next seconds, next minutes. It's really unacceptable when it really happens on you. So, I really have to be prepared at every seconds in order to cope with these critical situations. Not everyone can cope it well and I know it.

Paul, send my condolences...Take care, be strong...

Exam!!!!

2010-12-10T07:52:00.000-08:00

Faint! Exam !!

Lazy bug + Tiong Seng Construction Pte Ltd

2010-12-01T04:06:00.000-08:00

I have no idea what to do now..continue to do my revision or just relax..
I don't know what to do because I studied for whole day and my brain is congested now!!!

After knowing that my internship company, I got a bit numb feeling..Don't know how to react towards this...
Faraway from the university and have to work for 6 days in a week with little pay.-.=" such a great JOKE!!!

Whether I like it or not, it will be another new chapter of my life after this semester, starting my internship in a foreign company. Well, at least the experience can be accumulated and will be a great asset for me!

Tiong Seng is one of the largest contractor in Singapore and I had been there for the scholarship interview. It was a nice company and the CEO of the company is very approachable. What a nice guy.
By the way, I would like to choose a project which is not far away from where I stay now. I prefer that!!!

ARGH!!!! Exam is coming...Wish me luck!!!

Winners will always have the priority to write the history

2010-11-28T05:28:00.000-08:00

Ever heard of this?

Winners take them all and always have the priority to write the history.

Perhaps, every story has a different version.

I wonder all countries have the same version of history.......

Life or death game

2010-11-18T01:32:00.000-08:00

I've been facing a life or death game recently...

Not what I wanted but inner self asked for it..

This is the sin!

New plan for next year/perhaps this end of year

2010-11-06T19:18:00.000-07:00

New desktop is needed as the current specification of the desktop is too low for running a professional program!
Changing handphone!
Changing Ipod Touch!

Before that, I need to work very hard in order to achieve that ultimate goal!
Aiks...!!!-.="

The lesson of good and stable economy

2010-10-29T10:07:00.000-07:00

I attended a public lecture by a professor from Harvard University, addressing the title called " Asia and the global economy". This prof, to my impress, he is really a nice one but I was so unfortunate for not giving him any questions during the session.
So, here we go like this in the session.
Firstly, he showed the charts and the figures (about the past few years GDP of top 10 economy pre and post The Great Recession). China caught up very fast and also India, Brazil..

I was really surprised that Brazil is in the list and for the next few years, perhaps 10 more years to come, Brazil will continue stay in the top 10 list. I wondered why Brazil can have such a powerful economy.
Maybe USA is his neighbour? Maybe after the Great Recession, they became the biggest natural resources supplier in the region and made them became one of the top 10?
Here I want to stress out that Brazil is one of the most populous country in the world, not only vast jungle but also has the greatest metropolitan in the world, namely Brasilia and Rio De Janerio.
I have no idea with the PPP, but for the one thing I can be sure is, Brazil has a lot of natural resource, just like us(Malaysia). Brazil(anyone can provide me the data for this country?) , I believe, besides produces the best footballers in the world, they are also the great dealer( As we can see, they are the top 10 for the past few years).

Why is Singapore not included in this ranking? Isn't it one of the biggest in Asia? Where is Malaysia?
People( foreign investors) afraid of those potential factors that could affect their profits. Just like what we have in Malaysia, the unstable politics, racial issues, social issues are rampant. Risk adverse investors like me, 100% will not take any action on these countries. Right?
That's why Singapore has the winning situation - stable politics, friendly-business law, all-the-way-procedured steps, the demography of the country and also the better facilities compare to the neighbouring countries.

Good and stable economy, Malaysia should achieve this with no negative issues around. But, we have a good example to learn from, why Malaysia is still sleeping?! Don't tell me you are the sleeping GIANT!!!!

Damn nervous and stressful...

2010-10-26T08:23:00.001-07:00

For no reason and from nowhere, I don't know who to share.
I just know that I am nervous and damn stressful now..

For the 1st time in my life, I tembak mcq in test..I believe this will be the 1st time and the last ..
It won't happen again because I will keep myself fully prepared for the next quiz/

For damn no reason, I am still nervous and stressful..Don't know what to share and to whom I should share with!!

At last..

2010-10-22T10:58:00.000-07:00

I never expect that my 200th post will post something like this..
At last, she got her Mr. Right..

I will bless them....(Don't I feel happy about it, do I?)

A senior told me before about a lesson that should be learnt in uni life is to learn how to let go.
I bet that I am still learning how to let go too...Maybe now, I can really have to let go..

Anyhow, I am still who I am...also waiting for the Ms Right, also waiting for the right moment, also waiting for the graduation, looking for a better life ahead....I just want to be the happy one..

Hazy days

2010-10-21T05:01:00.000-07:00

Hazy days, AGAIN??!

Well, this kind of weather really makes people want to sleep, feeling uncomfortable to play, work and even having .....(ok, you know what I meant)

What happens actually is due to the burning fire(hot spot) from our dear neighbouring country-Indonesia.
They are the peasants in Sumatera and as a typical nomad peasant does, they burn the whole jungle for the sake of convenience and then use the land for agricultures(conventional thoughts).
OMG....this is terrible....a bunch of lazy asses ... why are they using such method to destroy the jungle?
Reason is simple, they don't have many manpower to do the deforestration and that's why they use the simplest way to destroy it..uneducated way...burn the jungle and cause the air pollution without considering the consequences and this is an uncivilized society's methodology!

We are experiencing the deadly air in Malaysia( especially West Coast) and also Singapore..
I can see the building just about 5-8 m in front of me. It's serious enough to have an accident!
Not only accident, health is once again in turmoil. However, it's a positive effect for the healthcare sector. The more patients in this society, the more healthcare workers we need, the happier the pharmaceutical producers are!..then, our Mr Ng and Ms Tan, and also Ms Christine Wong, sure have secured jobs!(anyway, doctors are always a secured job)

Everyone is wearing the mask again( as if we were heading back to the SARS/H1N1 period). It's crazy，MAN! I hope that I can see the blue sky as soon as possible...not healthy at all at the moment!

Joke from Seminar made me alive...

2010-10-19T22:37:00.000-07:00

One day, I attended a workshop in my university about the fund raising. As a business manager of a society, this seminar is compulsory for me to attend and with the financial controller by my side( luckily she was there, if not, I would sleep throughout the talk!)

Well, the workshop went well. Started by the introduction ..blah blah....with the fundraising inside university. I just realized that there are a lot of funds inside university itself and not really have to outsource the sponsorship as the fund provided by university is always approved and the amount is also quite satisfying...

So, the workshop went on until there's a segment where this lady , a facilitator of the talk, addressed this...
"Do you know any current issues ?" I was just too attentive to the lady in front and suddenly she said " oh ya, do you know that FedEx and UPS merged to form a company already? called Fed-Ups...." -.="

Wao....a joke...well, this really worked for all of us when all of us were about going to sleep and suddenly there's a force pulling me back to keep on track with the seminar....

The seminar started at 2pm and ended at 6! 4 hours....sleepy of course..but I learned a lot from it...About fund raising, and also networking stuff....it will useful for all of us in the future where we will be the boss of a company to know other representatives...

My recess week+recently what I did

2010-10-15T16:52:00.000-07:00

Recess week!!! But, I have no time to recess as I have plenty of matters to settle.
1. Matlab for URECA ( I had changed the title already)
2. Doing revision for the post-recess CA
3. Attending Matlab Workshop
4. Biz mag thingy
5. Doing Past year papers

Quite a lot of things in my mind and I have no time to take a breath. I wonder what other people will do in Singapore instead staying at home, sitting on the comfortable sofa and relax........That's what I want now...
RELAX for my recess week and don't want to do anything at all!

Recently what I did:
Anyway, I 've been rejected by the 1st choice company and surprisingly, I didn't feel bad at all. Numb?
Or not the 1st choice is always the best? I always tell myself that there will be another way to the best way. So, Arup may be not my destined one and now, I am waiting for a better one to come!

Now, I can feel the tense academically and ECA wise. I really have no time to cope with my academic and realizing that academic just a tiny part of my life and I think ECA will affect quite a lot in the future. Suddenly also realize that civil engineer is not a job for me. Maybe it will be my career but not my interested one. Maybe I need to do some investment like invest in stock market?

Anyway, I am always excited to learn new things, especially career-related and non-academic thingy..=)

Phobia to the project-based subjects

2010-10-04T01:57:00.000-07:00

Project-based subjects are always my weakness..and now, from what I heard from my senior claimed that there will be at least 5 subjects that need us to do the project assignments.

OMG~~~What I need to do is really have to prepare to fight this! I scared of the projects!

1 more semester to final year...-.=" time passes damn fast and ..... sigh..

Please come faster please!!!! If not, after graduate I have no more time!

Ready to move on / out?

2010-09-29T10:17:00.000-07:00

As the seniority in NTU getting higher, the university side will never and ever try to help you anymore in terms of getting hall(hostel is what we called in NTU)...
The distance point in the scheme for international students is deducted from year to year and so as seniors, we all have to find our way to move on (our life) or move out from the university.
But, the point is, due to this newly introduced policy, many of the students are not eager to join the ECA in university anymore. This is an adverse effect of what the university side expects to see---> more Singaporeans to join ECA and hall activities.
In fact, not all of them are actively participating in the activities. From what I saw from past two years, most of the international students were the one who always fought for the positions in the clubs and societies in order to get enough points to secure a room in campus.

Since the introduction of the new policy, all senior students (international) have to consider to move out of campus as not enough points gained and also they will not join any activities in year 3( as the homeworks and assignments loads are getting heavier ). However, from the point of view of a final year student, he or she might think that staying out of campus is very inconvenient as they need to meet up their professors for Final Year Project.
It's not all the SAO(Student Affairs Office) 's fault when dealing with this kind of issue. Anyway, life moves on and moving out definitely not my choice....as I still want to enjoy the campus life more one more year..

If I really take this..

你有想过要这样吗?

2010-09-11T23:46:00.000-07:00

当一些不好的事情发生在你身上，你会怎么想？
你有想过要选择不相信别人了吗？尤其是你一路以来都那么信任的朋友？

心理学上，抗拒某些事物和人物是来自情绪管理不佳和阴影的关系。
你有过这样吗？

这几天，我都在灰色地带徘徊。看着每一件事物发生，都对我来说算不是很好。
朋友们都说ok的，但是有谁可以想到，每一件事情的背后都有它难理解的故事。

我觉得我越来越排斥人群了，尤其是比我小两batch的。不能不认地说，我已经脱离了他们的频率。
她有她的生活，我有我的方式，他有他的性格。

我还是那样执着，对不起。看着你开心，我也开心，那就好了。
不对吗？但是我还是依然的那么灰....

Dean list

2010-09-05T09:03:00.000-07:00

Well, this is the first time I got it as mentioned in the title..
Nothing really interesting,maybe just for fun for a while...

My life keeps on moving..as a student and also a better person to come..

National Day! You need to study Sejarah before you say : "Balik ke tempat asal kamu!"

2010-08-31T09:20:00.000-07:00

Yo...It's Malaysia's National Day! We, as Malaysian, proud of what we have and had....
Vision 2020 is not far away from us...

Wait....

Just now I read the article about the racist's attack in KL...quoting "Balik ke tempat asal kamu!!"
Furious...
Well, if I want to discuss this thing again, I would like to ask all of you to read the history textbook again!!!
Sorry, I just realize most of the Malaysians don't like to read history....Kononnya sejarah boleh memupuk semangat patriotisme.....pui!!!!
It's getting more serious recently when this guy Ibrahim Ali and his gang revived the racism between races and made more conflicts happened..Ok...at this point, I want to know, is Ibrahim Ali illiterate? I doubt he is...never learned and studied history of Malaysia before...
The Malaya's independence was fought by three big races, remember?!

Nowadays, Malays, Chinese and Indians study under one roof, for instance in chinese primary schools and also more and more of them choose to study in chinese primary schools as the chinese primary schools teach those things that the national primary schools never teach..which is learning other language...to accept other people's language and culture, is not difficult...just open your mind and that's it!

Racism...a hot topic recently and it's untouchable until Ibrahim Ali, who almost everytime puts this topic on the table and said:"hey, we have our own special rights! and you guys have no place to stand in this country.." something like this...I really wonder what kind of special rights is...too abstract for me....
I just know that this phrase has been used for decades by the leaders ...to protect their own places in Parliament and also the money they have!
They never protect the lower level society of their own kind! So, is that called fair? For instance, orang asli...the aboroginal people in Peninsular Malaysia, they live in poverty! Is that called fair distribution of properties? Where's all the money goes? INTO THE POCKET OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND PARA DATO' SEKALIAN!!

Please... stop the scandals...this will just worsen the situation and the economy of the country...This kind of scandal will just drag down the reputation of Malaysia as a good place to invest in...
Ibrahim Ali...stop it ok? your propaganda is useless at all....

You want to know the truth or not if you dare to say and ask all the chinese and indian to go back to their own place? You also indirectly ask your own kind to go back to your own place...you guys also the immigrants....you are also the one who conquered orang asli's land...

Sorry to say that as this is unacceptable when you ask us to go back to our place...Our place is nowhere but Malaysia....Please, if you really want to have good things for your kind of people, come on and fight like a man...fight for fairness...you don't accept means you guys are weak...

Nowadays, the credits all go to the wise one and not the one who does nothing...Think carefully before you talk about this sensitive issue...I am unlike you...we all prefer fair competition...

Once again, Happy National Day to Malaysia...I am truly Malaysian!

His blog...my comment

2010-08-25T08:28:00.000-07:00

Ok...It all started when I read his blog..
His blog titled " Is Meritocracy a racism?"
Many of his fans comments were quite fanatic and I was very worried whether if I wrote something offended them then I would be in danger...Life's not easy as we all know and I posted my comment in facebook..

It's not a prudent decision to post a comment on a popular blog like Mahathir's one.
Everyone kept spamming my inbox(though I know there's a way to shut it down)
and what I saw was...quite many of them like my comment...
I don't know what I had commented on it..try to search it out and post here...

"Salam Tun, if u said meritocracy is for those who are elite in every field and are being labelled racist, then, I would say you are indirectly saying all people that who are "elite"( Malays, Chinese and Indians)...We need a fair competition among all of rakyat.. and of course why Singapore can do it because they have a small country and is easier to manage and handle as well as their own people self conscious...compare to Malaysia where the people in higher rank of society(para dato' dan datin..) seldom take care of the welfare and benefit of the low rank or low income society(especially Malay themselves)....and they just care for their own good..that's why corruption happens...
Sorry for any offense taken...“

It's quite respectful for him already when I began my lines with "salam"....

OK....here's the point...I read all the comments of his blog and what I saw was....there're still too many racists out there...pointed that meritocracy is a tool that we all use to destroy their privilege...I couldn't see any kinda protection towards poor one of their own people...there're 9 ppl liked my comments...and till now, still the most-liked comment...

There's no boasting here...But, just want to say that, more and more people like the way meritocracy works...just some of our people like it...

Running with time~

2010-08-23T09:28:00.000-07:00

Time passes faster than you thought..
4 months time passed like that and we wasted the time like that..
I should have spend some time to go travelling and not just working..
But, in order to travel, you have to have some money in your pocket..

Well, I spend whole vacation period to work and travel also(took leave to KL)...

And now, what I have to do is just to pay attention to the work now and then, few days later, I need to move out of the current room and move to my allocated one..
quite far away from the one now and it's my own room again...
But, it seems very not organized at all..I mean my things inside the room now, everything is just messy and once I see those things, I just simply want to burn those things!!!

Next week, juniors will come in and we have to serve ourselves to them to make the orientation camp better..
Time, passes fast....We need to grab each second we have...

One week to a new semester

2010-08-21T21:01:00.000-07:00

One more week, I will move back to my own room.
One more week, the orientation camp will roll the ball.
One more week, the new semester starts.

I have no anxiety at all for this.
Maybe, when the time comes, then I will get myself ready on spot for what ever.
Train myself to take action on spot, that's why we do events, right?
One more week, I will be a senior to a senior to a junior. That makes me 3rd year senior..and time passes fast enough that I never realize I have been staying in Singapore for 2 years already..

Immersing in the harsh environment, I learnt, I experienced, I was in high, and low of course for everything, and always for me, emotion, not excluded at all..
Immersing in this country's culture, being a individualistic person is a must and you may no need to think what others think of you. Just do your best..Being individualistic might not be selfish..You can still offer yourself to others when they need you.
Just that , I define this term as you should do all the things yourself and achieve with glory and enjoy it yourself.
Most of the time, you will be alone and make judgement yourself..
Well, 3rd year, is coming and soon, there will be more and more excitement and also disappointment come in.

Life is always like that. Mixture of happiness and sadness and also mixture of easiness and difficulty.

I tried it

2010-08-20T07:34:00.000-07:00

I tried to control...but, failed to do so...
My mind was out of control and I just want to stop this happening again..
Infatuation is too high in my mind towards this..
My nature of infatuation towards a subject is getting more serious than before...
I really want to get rid of this kinda bad thing...

I tried to get rid of it...
By releasing myself, being talkative and being positive to anything..
Tried to talk to her..
But, in the end, what I did was just the adverse effect...making her so fed up with my attitude...

Sometimes, I really want to think more about what kinda person I am..
I really want to change to a better one..
Is it real that Taurusian has this kinda attitude?
I really want to be an exception!

Tried to put this away from me..-ing...
Improving myself-ing
I don't want myself to be like that again...

是与非..

2010-08-18T08:12:00.001-07:00

以前，幼稚园到小学的是非题...
只有对和错..
到了中学的课外题，出现了对，错和non of the above...

可谓，non of the above 和”错“是有类似的意思..
每次，我都会误解它所要传达的意思...

生活中，大大小小的东西与难题，很多时候看起来是对的，又可能是non of the above...
从以前的0.5机率变成现在 0.333333333333333333333333(超多3的)

在对和错之间，也有一个灰色地带...
在政党和反对党之间，还有一个叫独立人士..
什么事情都变得更有可能了..
难题也变得更多元化...

我们做人会不会因为这些小难题而更复杂呢?
对错和...non of the above...-.="
看来，蛮有趣的嘛...

You can walk as fast like that?!

2010-08-17T09:14:00.000-07:00

I have counted my footsteps in 10 secs...
What is yours?

Statistics reported that Singaporeans walk with average 15 steps in 10 sec...and I

20 steps!!!!!!

faster than them!!!

So, if I go back to Sabah, I could have left my friends behind!!

The vision is there, however...

2010-08-13T03:04:00.000-07:00

Ok...I think he did not post any blog since I criticized his grammar, sentence structure and etc..
And, that day,(I have no idea how long ago), he came to me and asked me how much the rental in Sg city and asked whether I got any idea where the Morgan Stanley building is.

Firstly, I would like to ask him back that does he have any idea how much or how high the rental in the city centre of the city is. Well, we all know that Singapore has the highest living cost among the South East Asia cities and he has no idea ...that the 1st point...
Secondly, I am not looking down on the local higher learning institution degree holder. Someone like him who wants to come to Singapore to learn something..I am really happy to it and proud of that vision. But, up-to now what I've heard that only TAR College or UTAR degree holders afford to get a decent job in Sg. UM or UKM graduates are the next. So, where did the UMS graduates go to? Their English proficiency are not bad too..But, typically like that person I am going to introduce is the one whose English proficiency is under average.

Thirdly, when I heard someone ask: "Is IELTS difficult?" I sure answer yes of course. To this person, with his truly ambitious thought, with his English level is slightly worse than me, said that he can get band 7 out of 9..But, I only get 6.5! He is way too ambitious! With his lack proficient in English, I think he can't even speak well and write well in Singapore where all business are done in English, including speaking and reading and writing as well..Of course, Singapore, if you are able to speak some singlish then is totally perfect to them...

Well, next point I want to argue is...Morgan Stanley..a great investment banking firm in America, set up the branch( I suppose) in Singapore because they think that Singaporeans are good and also proficient in English(Singlish might be because Morgan Stanley's staffs in Singapore are mostly Singaporeans)...This, my friend, who really eager to go into a firm like that and learn in the company. After that, he will establish his own company in hometown.What a vision!
Ok, good....according to another friend of mine( undisclosed name), he told me that every single investment company whose the superiors are about 40 or 50s...and why? because they started their companies long time ago or roughly a few years ago due to their success in the long term investment...and setting up a company is a not-easy business...You need a lot of money...and my dear friend, who is so ambitious, wants to make big money and brings the money back home and establishes his own one...wao....a great great deal or not deal business!
At that time going back and setting up company will be only 30+...a very young CEO I would say...
Good...ambitious and ideally thought...(I think that my own hometown does not have that big type of investment projects, maybe in the future, it will change, who knows?)

Now, why not he just upgrade himself 1st by starting with his own English proficiency? and also why not he just think thoroughly of what I've told him and my friend advised .. a truly ambitious vision but lack of true ability..IF Singapore business is conducted in Malay, then, of course, welcome! BUT, Singapore is Singapore...English is dominating here...Keep it up with your postgrad study in UMS..I know you can, but if really want to learn, why not step by step?---->an advice from an engineer( not pro at all, but at least take it as an advice from a friend )

From the last post

2010-08-10T03:57:00.000-07:00

ok....Sorry for a late post for last one...
To continue with the one I posted this morning(while I was working..), I would like to begin with a story...

NTU is the inaugural Youth Olympic Village for the coming Youth Olympic Games which will start from 14th till 26th..
and this morning, when I was in the car with my supervisor and the driver, the volunteers who were on duty to have traffic block in the car park..As usual, what the traffic police does is to stop the car and instruct the driver to the road side..yea, that's what the volunteers were doing on us...
Ok...I think they have not being instructed well by their own supervisors that the car( I used to be inside) was the NTU authorized vehicles...there's logo at the door...Didn't they aware of that?
And they were just being rude to the driver and the driver as response, in a angry manner answered them...
Well, Singaporeans are doing things just according to the law and rules that they need to oblige.
They need to have the sense of gracious, don't they??

Though the economic growth was a tremendous one and is an absolute example and role model for Malaysia to learn. Singaporeans behave just too strict between each other..
Kiasu....that's what I have seen on the 1st day they were on duty...

The driver kept mumbling at the volunteers and yes, the volunteers were rude...and the volunteers are not from NTU either, so, they are just working voluntarily, no wages at all and need to fully expose to sunlight and tiredness...Actually, if both of the sides show gracious to each other, then, this will not happen..
Unfortunately, this is Singapore...

For the story of Tim-do-Sing-job, I will explain further...

Please have a look in this website...

2010-08-09T19:05:00.001-07:00

It would be nice if our country also has such progress..

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_564229.html

I would say :" Good!!! "
On the other hand, be gracious please( I address this to Singaporean..)
More from me after this...

Contra and contrast in KL...

2010-08-09T05:44:00.000-07:00

Kuala Lumpur or known as KL amongst local residents is a hub of everything in Malaysia.
As a capital city and business centre in the country, the metropolitan has gradually changed from its old fashioned look like what we knew in 19th century till now...

I had a short trip to KL recently and I found that the articles in the newspapers contradicted with what I saw.
People's purchasing power is extremely high and this astonished me that why on earth the articles in the newspaper or on the blog speculated the bankruptcy of the country. Well, I really thought of just within KL itself and never think of other place in Malaysia as in KL itself, it is way too facilitated compared to other places.

As a capital, KL serves as a trade in and trade out centre and gather all people from all walks of life in the country. According to my friend, Juin yi who recently likes to use economics terms instead of his own medical jargon said that during his posting in Tanjung Karang, people there live in poverty and illiteracy is quite high. So, we can't judge the situation just based on the situation in KL. Of course there's some place in KL are living in such condition but less illiterate.

KL is facilitated with their own public transport LRT lines and KTM( the worse public transport in KL but intercity is better) . LRT line, basically divided to Ampang Line, Sri Petaling Line and Kelana Jaya Line. LRT is considered a better version of KTM. Why? KTM is notorious for slow, massive usage and smelly compartment. Now, they have new compartment which is only for women and also new model from Korea(I suppose). The government gathers all the modal and capital in the metropolitan and optimizes the usage but the efficiency is low.

Like this morning, when I was having my breakfast with my friend's sis, I saw a gang of cops-liked people hanging around in the coffee shop. Then, I suggested that they were DBKL's authorities. Yeap..that's right. They are DBKL authorities. But, time like 10 am, I thought they are on duty just like what we have in DBKK.. My friend told me that she was shocked when she was in Sabah last time when she studied..seeing DBKK's authorities worked so hard but DBKL's....-.="" Actually, KL residents pay tax for nothing in the end , seeing the money they pay to the authority wasted like this.. It's inefficient at all!

In terms of facilities, ok...I now really realize what is meant by first class facilities low class consumers..For instance, I really shocked with the condition in the Kolej Za'Ba. Building which is badly managed and the wall is "flourished" with amateur students' artwork. I wondered why and how the university side managed all these things. Afterall, to provide a decent environment for the students to study is the most important priority. The government should look into this case seriously and if the government really wants to improve the quality of the education, therefore then the facilities in the universities should be upgraded ( no matter what it takes! where all the money goes I don't care...Corruption and racism is still the biggest challenge in the country). and furthermore, UM is top 3 in South East Asia region（We should be proud of it^^, however, with the current situation of badly managed facilities, I quite disagree )...Tertiary students, shouldn't you aware of this??

Apart from travelling around the city, I was really happy with the warm hearted people in KL. Especially my friends who have been always so kind and nice. Taking me to 1 Utama ( where I never drop by before), watched movie( though it is considered the horror of the blockbuster) and ate chinese cuisine in the shopping centre, made my day full of enjoyment. Thanks guys..I know that you guys won't read my blogs..haha..

Also thanks to my friends who offered his bed to me and a shelter to me to stay. Aunty, you are a good mom and I am really thankful to you, appreciate it so much! Thanks for everything. KL....

Erm.....ya....Maybe I should just alone for whole life....haha

When it goes bankrupt...

2010-08-04T02:20:00.000-07:00

It was a scary thing to watch something that might not be true spreading like contagious disease,e.g. H1N1...
But, we all know that the speculation sometimes might be true and might not..

Well, we...as Malaysian always live in anxiety and doubting that when the country becomes bankrupt in 2019, what will it be?
I suggest that we migrate...
The speculation of the Malaysian Bankruptcy has been circulating recently after the nearly collapsed Greece in Europe. The government in our beloved country, which is highly corrupted and biased, afraid of what the Greeks have done. So, by taking out the subsidize they had done for so long, they believe that it will cure the economy..

Perhaps, this method may work under ideal condition. (Without rumours and speculation)
Another ideal condition is, the country accepts more and more Foreign Direct Investment and triggers the economy. Thus leading to a high income society..Not just by decreasing the so-called helping-people subsize only. On the other hand, if the government does not undergo reformation such as the reshuffle of the cabinet, the corrupted people get more corrupted, the fanatic racial or religious entities get more fanatic, then, here goes our Malaysia...boom!!!

Well, last time when I would have always hoping that our country will change and change to a better one by introducing the useful policy like the NEM ...New Economic Module...which is believed to help many people and which is also fair enough for every person in the country. However, this module is actually not supported by the remainings ( leftist ) and always oppose this module due to its harm to their own privilage...

I think that's why Singapore is always better than Malaysia in terms of competition and fairness..
They are transparent, fair and unbiased(biased from other aspects but not in racial). They are more open, they are growing bigger than ever...than the neighbouring country like us...(in terms of economic map)

Migration will work for me if really...Malaysia goes bankrupt and makes Ringgit Malaysia a piece of junk...

Holiday in July

2010-07-31T18:36:00.000-07:00

During this holiday, I work like hell..
Plus the YOG is around the corner and the university side gives priority to all the YOG related person such as the committee members, athletes and volunteers. The students who want to stay in the campus encounter problems of accommodation.

Last few weeks(I think 3 weeks ago), I was struggling with SAO(student affairs office) to ask for accommodation on campus. After struggling with ridiculous reasons and with the advantage of first round room excuse, I got the room..It's like heaven if you have your own room and not staying in your friends' room where you will cause inconvenience for your landlord.(E.g. I saw my landlord was about to kiss his gf on the bed, and I was just like going into the scenery without giving any notification.)

With extra space in the room now, I always want to go out to buy some books to store in the room and I do.
Buy the books which are really quite widen my view towards the hidden ones. And also, with the holiday will end in the end of August and the Freshmen Orientation Activities(FOA) will be coming up at that time, I will be very busy and probably cannot go for the first lesson of the week.

Whether it's managable or not, I feel that NTU has promoted itself towards another tier in the world university's ranking. Though it's still far behind NUS or any other universities in the region. I still prefer this university as it provides a lot opportunities with just one certificate( as for the slogan of the EEE school..)

Holiday in July, why it's terrible? Because I really hate holidays and love it also at the same time.
Terrible because I had the mixed feelings again!
This kinda feeling came back and found me..I tried to resist it..
And I think the most important thing is when I chat with someone important now, I feel I am comfortable and soothing...a very nice feeling going through my soul...

Well, hopefully August( busy with FOA while working), will be a better month to come..
I just want to enjoy my holidays..especially weekends..buy more things...or save money for the next item spotted-----> Digital SLR camera...probably the cheapest one in my list...
