One Week Left !

Already approaching the end of my first week holiday and the beginning of my second and last week of holiday before I fly to Bangkok, Thailand for starting a new page of my university life !

10 days to be exact before my flight on 4th October, but since I am involved in the 3rd IchemE Asia Pacific Students Sports and Career Day, it reduces the number of remaining days available for me to prepare and pack for this journey to Bangkok to about 1 week only.

Task-to-do next week:

  • Buy all the necessary stuffs and items (Since the allowance is in, I have some money to buy all these necessities for my internship purpose already)
  • Start packing my luggage.
  • Get my unkempt hair cut and trim neatly.
It seems there are not much to be done, but indeed there are lots of thing I need to prepare, so 1 week's time is just enough for me.

Started my second drama yesterday and hopefully I can finish it by next week before my trip =)


Will be going back to UTP next Friday for the last-minute badminton practice with my junior partner before going all out in the sports event on Saturday, 1st October. Hopefully can get a medal this time also.. Ganbatte !! ^^

That's the post from me this time. Bye !

2 Weeks Left Before I Start My Awesome Internship In Thailand !

Finally booked and confirmed my flight to Bangkok, Thailand on 4th October 2011. Which means that only 2 weeks left for me to be in my home sweet home and Malaysia. Within the blink of an eye, it is now approaching to a countdown stage of my remaining days before I start my awesome and much anticipated internship !

Well, though the day is approaching, my preparation for it is not 100% complete yet. Speaking of which, I still need to go to the Royal Thai Embassy in KL tomorrow to collect my visa. And then, I still need to print out all the important and essential documents to be brought to Thailand and also for back-up purposes, not to mention I have not start packing ! Clothes, toiletries, some food and instant noodles (for me to settle down before I can buy those stuffs there) and the list goes on and on.. In simpler words, there are many things to be packed !!

Besides, another much anticipated event that I will be participating is the 3rd IchemE Asia Pacific Students Sports and Career Day that is going to be held on 1st October at Monash University ! Hehe ^^ Still remembering how much fun I had when I first joined this event together with my best friends, achieving good results and all the cheering and excitements that I had been through ! Hopefully this time, I am able to produce good result too :)

Started my drama spree today. Watched 6 episodes continuously, using up the whole afternoon. Haha.. Well, I think I will miss Hong Kong Drama for 7 months, so better don't miss out the chance to catch up with a few latest released Hong Kong drama in these 2 weeks ^^

This is the first drama. Hopefully I got more time to watch a few more in these 2 weeks ! Huhu..


Guess that's all from me this time. Gona spent my remaining days with my dearest family as after this, I will only reunion with them during next year's CNY !! Sobs.. =(

Finished My Third Year Final Exam !!

Yay !!!

Finally it is all over now. Four papers in four days were not easy, but well, I managed to pull through. Now, my mind is extremely relieved as I am done with all the 4 papers for my 3rd year 2nd semester.

Some little review on my performance ? Well, overall it was not too bad, I think should be better than last semester's papers. It is just that I am struggling with time with 2 of the papers but I managed to finish 90% of it I guess, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Hopefully my result will be better this sem.

But all that doesn't matter now as I am somehow bored with Final Exams. This is the 8th Final Exam I am taking in UTP. But for now, I am taking a break !! A break from tests, assignments and Final Exams for 7 months for I will be going for my industrial internship in Thailand !!

I can feel much more freedom from those boring and routine academic stuff. Really need a break from these as they are really sickening.. Haha..

Well, guess that's the update from me. Tomorrow will be going to KL to do my Visa for Thailand, Tuesday will go to buy an insurance coverage and Wednesday will meet our honorable UTP Rector, before I am off to home, leaving UTP for 7 months !! Hehe.. Kind of excited over my internship now.

Till then, take care !

Little Break For My Study Week

Will be off these coming 3 days from study study and study ! Really need a small break after I have started my study week since last Friday. Had been studying for the past 7 days, mentally a bit bored and tired. Guess a 3-day break to KL would refresh my mind a bit so that after the short rest, I would be able to continue go all out for the remaining of my study.

Well, I can say that I didn't expect I can reach my target set before this one day earlier than expected. Guess that was because I was forced to study most of the time when I was stuck in UTP. What I mean was, well, when you are in UTP, there were really not much thing that you can do, not even sports, as UTP was so deserted and quiet. Most people already gone back for Raya. So, the daily routine was study after woke up, Fb, study, nap, dinner, study again.. But really thanks to that, I managed to reach my target early and got extra time to do extra revision for other subjects.

Phew.. Now I can really relax a bit and really enjoy my holiday in KL.

NO STUDY FOR ME THESE 3 DAYS !!

=)

Till I blog again, to those who are preparing for their Finals, especially those who just came back to UTP, all the best to you all !! Ganbatte ^^

Yosh !!

Study Week AGAIN ??!

Another 14 weeks just gone and passed like that. It's just like the flow of water from a pipe, takes seconds only. Still remembering how I started this semester after a one-week sem break, and now, within the blink of an eye, it ended so fast like the speed of light. And here comes the study week for my 3rd year 2nd semester.

Unbelievable huh? Already finished half of my 4th year in UTP. Kind of missing the moments when we just entered UTP and being naive, always enjoying all the time. The more seniority we get, life tends to be more stressful as we are not only engaging with academic assignments and tests, but we are more emotionally involved especially with our social life and friendship, when we start to be matured and being serious over our socializing life.


Well, enough being sentimental and nostalgic, it is time to move on. Life has to go on and growing and aging is inevitable. So, in simple words, enjoy the real meaning of life when we could, as one day we are going to lose all of them. What lies in us will be those happy moments that you will cherish forever and those sad moments that make us stronger.


Planned to declare my study week starting today but it ended up in vain. Perhaps I am not disciplined enough, but the main reason is I am quite exhausted after working on my assignment till 6am in the morning ! By the time I woke up, half of the day already passed. Afternoon I went to see my lecturer to handle some stuff and had a badminton session in the evening. Well, what worth to be happy about is finally I have done with all the coursework for all my 4 subjects this semester !! TOTALLY DONE ! Just left with study week and Final Exam.


Guess it is not too much if I demand 1 day rest after working on the assignment for hours. Mentally and physically, both need some time to regain some strength on them. And well, guess tomorrow I will be OFFICIALLY starting my study week. Gona stay focus from tomorrow onwards till next Thursday as the 4 days following Thursday will be spent in KL for my cousin wedding and Visa Application. So, as the saying goes, bersusah-susah dahulu, bersenang-senang kemudian. If I want to enjoy with a peace of mind, I better start tomorrow or else I won't be feeling comfortable mentally.


Confidence and undivided attention is all I need starting tomorrow. Though sometimes the feelings are unbearable when I am alone in my room, no one to talk to, but I believe for the sake of my concentration in study, it is good to be alone also. Well, the situation is not too bad and won't last too long, as it will end very fast, just 1 week. After which, I can enjoy a bit before I go for the Final Exam.


There goes my finalized Final Exam schedule:

Process Plant Design - 8th September
Engineers in Society - 9th September

Corporate Communication - 10th September

Engineering Economics and Entrepreneurship - 11th September


Guess that is all about my update this time.
Wishing all my Muslim friends

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI

&


MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN



and those who are not celebrating it (including me)


HAPPY STUDY WEEK !!

P/s: Looking forward to ending the Final Exam and start my Internship at Thailand. Life's full of excitements. ^^

Down Moment

My worries really did realized in the end. All this while I have been worring about my internship in Hiroshima, Japan until the extent that I got the feeling that my internship in Japan will be in vain.

Well, my nightmare really turned out to be a reality now. Really can't imagine this will happen to me. The internship company suddenly changed their mind and they are not accepting any students for internship in their company.

WHAT THE HECK ???!!

Yeah, I am serious. This is serious, it's not any joke. But never in my life did I expect there is such a company out there, behaving so unprofessionally. I don't know what's the reasons behind it, but let me say it, BIOMASS TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH CENTER, I am extremely pissed off by your company and my only impression towards this company is - Extremely SUCKS !!

It is really saddening and disheartening the moment when I heard this bad news. All this while, I am mentally prepared to have intern in Japan, not to mention I have already started spending a lot of time learning Japanese language. But out of a sudden, because of the sudden change in decision, I suffered from the trauma.

Well, I should be thankful as there is one placement in a research lab in Bangkok, Thailand called MTEC. Perhaps this is all arranged by God. Unfortunate things happen to me and at the same time, there is another placement available for me. It is as if all this incidents have been arranged by God. Well, I guess that's what we call as FATE. Things happen for reasons. Looking at the bright side, I may spent less in Bangkok and can save the money for some vacation to places nearby, and I can celebrate my Chinese New Year at home.

I should get over with it as soon as possible. But now I really need some time to recover from the trauma. I am really traumatized by this experience and I hope it won't happen again. Time is always the best healer for my mental wound.

Tired... mentally and physically =(

One Month To Go

Perhaps when you are engaged with enjoying the semester most of the time, you really do not aware the passage of time.
Had a satisfied durian feasting with a gang of friends. Forgot when I last ate durian already. Anyway, it was just simply irresistible !! Yummy ^^

Within the blink of an eye, it is the end of week 11 already, which mean 3 more weeks to end this semester, study week in one month's time and after Final Exam, I will start my brand new journey; going for my 7 months internship !

Speaking of which, I was elated and excited about my internship placement. Well, I got an offer from Biomass Technology Research Center in Hiroshima, Japan. The first dilemma is I am reluctant to accept it in the first place, due to the recent disaster that happened in Japan. I went through a lot of thinking and considerations, with a lot of friends giving advice, and finally I made up my mind to accept the offer. Well, I guess I tok that offer simply because I WANA GO OUT MALAYSIA AND LOOK AT THE OUTSIDE WORLD !! That's the main reason I accepted the offer; to experience different culture and increase my exposure to the outside world.

But nevertheless, I wasn't out of any dilemma and hardships yet. And now I had accepted the offer, I need to proceed with the application of Visa. And that process is very troublesome in which I need to get ready a lot of documents before I can get my Visa. And this is when I am bothered with some worries. What if the company is not willing to provide those documents I needed in time? What if I can't go there to have my internship and neither can I intern in Malaysia since I have rejected a few offers ? What if... ??!!

Well, these things did really trouble me a lot, set aside the problem of learning Japanese language. Thousand of questions in my head I wish to be answered at this moment, as I am so worried about a lot of things.. Well, guess there is no use to be too worried. When the time comes, there is sure a solution to every question in my head. What I really hope is that I can have my internship there and I ask no more than that. Please, I really hope my prayer is answered.

Guess I have poured out some of my discomfort in my heart in this blog temporary. A lot of things lie ahead of me, tests, projects and assignments to be rushed, lots of procedures to be done for my internship and last but not least prepare for the Final Exam. Anyway, I hope I can get a bit of inner peace when I spend this weekend with my beloved family ! Gona be home sweet home tomorrow !! Hehe :)

Can I handle all this in this coming crucial month ? I hope I can.

Be strong and tough to face this crucial and busy month Yi Herng !!

Endure all the hardships and dilemma with patience and perseverance !!

Gambatte Kudasai ^^
