Awaiting Hong Kong Trip 2012

2012-02-10T20:59:00.000-08:00

Yeah, finally its arrived. Less than 24 hours, I will be boarding and traveling to Hong Kong. It is my first oversea trip this year (2012) and I am really excited to be a part of this trip. There are 7 of us will be heading to Hong Kong tomorrow and we are taking the morning flight (6.00 a.m). Thanks to AirAsia for promotion previously that finally we can fulfill our dreams to fly to Hong Kong. I watched TVB dramas since I was young and I really wish to visit Hong Kong once in my life time. Finally, it comes true and much preparations have been made to make this trip a success one. Arguments and agreements among us cannot be avoided and I hope it doesn't turn out to be hatred later. Hopefully not!

Coming back from Hong Kong later, I need to focus on my final year project and my final sem starts very soon. Really thankful to God for the good results in the sem 7 examination. Job hunting will be carried out soon and more updates will be posted later. Stay tune!

Happy Chinese New Year 2012 to my beloved readers. May this water dragon year will bring much lucks and good health to all of us. Personally, I do hope that some of my wishes will be materialized this year and I view 2012 year as the most important year to me because I am going to graduate soon and I am anticipated to enter the workforce. More updates will be coming soon....

Blogging Time!!

Currently I am doing my internship at Menara Telekom for ACN. So far, I had completed 3 weeks of my internship and it was indeed a memorable experience for getting to know other interns. Most of them were studying overseas and they came back to Malaysia for summer break. Here are some photos to be shared:

Main office entrance

Lovely ACN board

Souvenirs received during interns gathering

5 more weeks to go before a new sem starts and I am officially a fourth year chem eng student by then. Recently, I received a good news that I won a consolation prize for 'PERTANDINGAN KEPENGGUNAAN 2011' under essay writing competition.

KLCC 2011

2011-02-19T01:27:00.001-08:00

Hi everyone..Welcome back to my blog.After living in Malaysia for 22 years, this is my first visit to KLCC (the highest twin towers in the world to date).

PetroSains entrance

Before visiting twin towers, I went to PetroSains. Really memorable and amazed by science innovations. Children are advisable to visit this place for science exploration.

This view was taken during the bridge visit. Creative right?

Amazing view in the late afternoon

Love the way the bridge joining both towers

The lights were switched on around 7.30pm and KLCC looked spectacular

The highest floor we could treasure was 86th floor. Pretty high isn't it?

A good shot for Public Bank building. The architecture of this bank was really unique and special

Another great shot of Public Bank building

Great outing with friends for KLCC trip. Everyone should visit KLCC twin towers and the fee entrance was quite cheap. Thats all.

Activities!

2011-01-28T09:03:00.000-08:00

Last week, my schedule was really packed. I went for L'oreal Brandstorm 2011 preliminary round presentation and unfortunately, my group didn't manage to qualify for semi-finals. Fail to reach next level wasn't a big deal as I enjoyed every moment I had with L'oreal Brandstorm. Good luck to other groups who managed to reach semi-finals and all the best to them. My member and I were determined to participate in the next edition L'oreal Brandstorm and we would give our best to it. Lacking of preparation would be the main factor why my team failed to proceed to the next round. Perhaps I will take part in some L'oreal business games later.

Next thing would be my participation in P&G Business Challenge 2011. I just registered myself last week and I was waiting for their call to bring some good news to me. I'm really interested in joining this challenge and I hope I will advance further in this challenge. Mucha suerte...

CNY 2011 is coming soon and I wish everyone will have a prosperous year ahead and have good health throughout the year.

Back to real business

2011-01-15T09:29:00.000-08:00

Almost spent 2 weeks in uni for sem 6 and the first week of lecture classes were always filled with introduction of course syllabus and lab group division. For the past two weeks, my team mate and I were busy preparing PowerPoint slides for L'oreal Brandstorm 2011 and I just sent my team's slides to the Dan (the judge for this competition). Hopefully, my team would be shortlisted for preliminary round and get the opportunity to go to head office of L'oreal next Saturday for short presentation. There are upcoming assignments, lab reports and plant design project waiting for me to compete for the next 12 weeks and I hope I will give them a good shot.

It's time to let go

2011-01-05T08:38:00.000-08:00

I just feel like CH's Passion has become my personal diary and now I would like to add another page to my diary. Someone (acts as fortune teller) tell me that no one in my family member really understand me as a person and he says that I'm a kind of person who like to think so much till no one really understand what I need. At first, when I hear his words, I feel like really want to laugh and my response to him is "Really!!". Now I'm convinced that I'm believe in his words. I always imagine that I'm going to have my tertiary studies (undergrads) overseas (did not materialize), having my internship in the multinational company like Trump's Empire (still building castle in the air) and at last I'm able to secure a high-paying job (still a way to go). I believe that the time has come for me to let go all this kind of imagination and dreams. Back to reality by knowing that you can make a difference in your life if you believe in yourself. When one door closes, there will be always another window will open for us to explore and what you sow is what you reap. Hard works will be paid off well when our efforts don't go futile.To conclude, my family member still don't know the way of my thinking.....

Happy 2011 and Back to School

2011-01-02T05:26:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year to everyone. Arrived at UPM college around 2pm and it took almost 4 hours to clean up my room. Really tired and exhausted. During sem break, I managed to finish watching Glee season 2 and Desperate Housewives season 7 till episode 10 but didn't have time to start watching Big Bang Theory (BBT). The second half of 2011, I will carry out my internship in Hexza for 2 months and I'm really looking forward to work as chemical engineer trainee in the company. Tomorrow, I will attend my first lecture class at 8am. All the best in 2011....

NACES 2010: Evidence to Success

2010-12-25T20:47:00.000-08:00

Early December, I went for NACES 2010 and I managed to win some prizes. I won first place for Technical Essay Writing Competition and third place for Technical PowerPoint Presentation with fellow team mates (Daniel, Weewee and Szeleng). More happy news is UPM was announced as the best univesity in NACES 2010 because we managed to grab top three prizes.Here are the some reports on NACES 2010 made by UPM internal affairs:

Back to November

2010-11-21T08:18:00.000-08:00

Finally the gruesome exams were over and I was planning to take some time to relax myself at home before going back to uni on 1st of December to attend Naces 2010. Naces 2010 can be considered as an annual grand event for all chemical engineering students in public and private unis. This time, I was given the oppurtunity to participate in essay writing competition and techinal powerpoint presentation. I was greedy enough to accept the offers and I must admit that I was struggling to divide my time and focus on both competitions. I am hoping that there will be good outing for us in this Naces.

Glad to be able to watch Asian Games report daily on tv but I'm really disappointed at badminton players the most. They can make us proud by grabbing the gold medals for individual event and I will put the blame on BAM for the team competition failure. The back-up players of our country always fail to give good performance in crucial stage and this indicate that our country will not have good players for the coming decade. Personally, I don't know why our players like Koo/Tan and Lee can't handle the pressure of playing in the rubber game. They are easily making the silly mistakes and didn't give a good fight to their oppenents. Their coach always make excuse for their under-performed and they never brave enough to admit that our players are still not good enough. Very disappointing and I wish our badminton players can emulate Nicol DAvid success and she did lose in several matches but she always make quick recovery by winning the next tournament. I'm not saying that our players must win all the tournaments they participate in but at least they will try not to lose to the same opponents easily.

Coming up next....report on course trip and tv shows.........

Mucha suerte

2010-11-06T09:30:00.000-07:00

Tengo el examen viene esta semana. Deseo a responder a la pregunta asi. Deseo que el examen no es muy dicifil. Coming home last week to do revisions and there is no way you can fully concentrate on your studies. There is no way you can fully focus on studies as you did for SPM and STPM examinations. I totally agree with this statement. Hopefully the cming final examination would not be difficult to answer. Good luck.

Keep On!

2010-09-26T10:47:00.000-07:00

Back from sem break, I started to do some revision for upcoming tests but it was kinda failure because I wasn't fully focused on it. The lectures in class still remain the same...Bored......During raya break, I got the opportunity to meet Chee Kwang ( former Science 5 classmate) and he told me that studying pharmacy wasnt easy as I thought. They still carried out killing experiments on innocent white rats and frogs and I found it very disgusting. I hate dissection. After hearing more stories from Chee Kwang, I found out that I was lucky enough to pick up chemical engineering. Today, it was a great day because I wake up early to attend charity run. Almost a month I didnt do exercise and feeling great to see my sweat dripping from my body again. After having my dinner, I went to watch Donnie Yen's new movie in the Mines and I liked this action packed movie very much. Able to see real action and plus having Su Qi on the big screen again. Finished reporting. Hoping I'm able to find new direction in my studies and catch up Glee season 2 and ANTM cycle 15.

MEMO FOR 1ST WEEK HOLIDAYS

2010-09-10T23:10:00.000-07:00

After struggling in uni life for 8 weeks, the time had come for me to take a break ( I mean raya break). In university, most of us always were burdened with assignments, homeworks and not to forget lab reports. I always asked when this kind of works gonna to stop!!....I guess I need to wait for graduation ( still have one and half year to go)........
Normally this is the list which people like us always do during sem break:
(1) YUM CHA..is a must so that we can share our stories with former classmate and gossiping at the same time.
(2) Watching movies with buddies and we don't care what movies we are watching as long as we are watching it with buddies.
(3) Singing session...we cant escape during sem break and rap along also.
(4) Short trip...not a wise choice because it always meet with peak season.....

Still left one week break and I'm trying not to waste it. There is a long list of things I want to do before heading back to uni for second half sem. Finally I managed to finish watching Glee and now switched to TVB dramas. Tomorrow I'm going to Nava birthday celebration dinner and I wish him all the best in his studies.

Random Memo

2010-08-29T23:58:00.000-07:00

My test one ended last two weeks ago and last week I went to Mid-Valley with friends. Dropped by Kim Gary shop, I ate cheese baked rice and yin yong for my dinner. Luckily, it wasn't packed with customers that day and headed to cinema for 'The Expendables'. The movie can be considered good to watch for overall. But I prefer Inception than The Expendables because of its intriguing story. Just now, I did some editing to Kelly Clarkson wikipedia regarding the sales and certifications. Haha.....

July....

2010-07-29T23:40:00.000-07:00

Before July ends, I should write something in my blog.

1st, 2nd and 3rd week of sem 5,

- Busy in preparing for the Chem-E-Car competition but didnt win anything..sorry UPM
- during this period, I didnt have my proper meals and spend most of my time in material lab AND skipping
   the classes as well.
- managed to escape from experimental failure by going to Green Box with kakis. Really enjoy by singing
   'Baby- Justin Bieber' twice and Adam Lambert hits 'Whataya Want from me'
- Not to forget, I was trying to finish watching the TVB drama 'Mysterious of Love' and Raymond Lam really
   blew me off.

This week

- I received the money from JPA and no worries over financial problem
- watched 'Inception' on Wednesday and this movie was awesome.....I wished I was one of the casts.
- announcement test 1 by lecturer = no holiday for this weekend
- And today I received one good news...I won consolation prize for essay writing competition...(extra
   RM100 in my pocket and a cert for my collection)...wish to hit the jackpot (RM2,500)
- Dressing casual for the coursenite..just few hours away from now...

That's how I spent my weeks in UPM so far.........................

Justin Bieber

2010-06-15T01:57:00.000-07:00

I never knew this guy till I saw this cover and I wonder why this singer looked so young. According to Billboard, this young man already got the platinum status through his first album My World and I went to Youtube to search for his songs. My first impression was wow because I never knew that his song 'One Time' had been viewed over 110 millions times. This song was great to listen to and I planned to sing it in k-box one day. Then I went on searching for his song in second album My World 2.0 and his international hit Baby already hit 190 millions views. Guess what I like this song very much and his dance part in the David Letterman show. Baby was the third most view videos in the youtube history and less than 12 hours each day, this views always hit 1.0 million views. No wonder why he can catch up with the Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. I think it will be a bright future for this young boy in singing career.

Gentrip Trip 2010

2010-05-05T02:06:00.000-07:00

Feel lazy to update my blog lately. But I want to share my marvelous experience in Genting Highlands with my readers. I went to Genting with course mates last week after I finished my last paper for this sem. It was my first time to step on Genting's land and really fell in love with the weather here (windy always). After checking in, we straight away went to theme park and had fun.

here is the theme park entrance

At night, I spent some time to visit casino with other male course mates. The casino really crowded with people and the air was filled with cigarette's smoke as well (really cant breathe). At first, I wanted to gamble with my RM50 note but seeing the other males didn't want to gamble so I just kept that note.At the end, we bought poker cards from 7 Eleven shop and played in the room till 2 something.

Although it was 2 days and one night trip, I felt happy to spend some time in Genting because this was my first visit to Genting. Hopefully, more opportunity will come after this.

Group pic in the theme park

2 MORE PAPERS TO GO.....

2010-04-19T23:23:00.000-07:00

My last paper for this week is Pengucapan Awam on Friday night and next week, I'm going to sit for Unit Operation 1 before heading to Genting with fellow coursemates. Hopefully, my first time visit to Genting would be memorable and fruitful one. Really can't wait to visit casino and theme park. Last week, I went back to Ipoh and I felt that the climate in Ipoh had changed tremendously because I was sweating all day long. With Andrew Garcia's exit, I think I will not going to watch the American Idol season 9 because the rest of the contestants are really lacking of star power and charisma. This sem break would be the short one to me because I have to go back to UPM earlier to invent my Chem E Car. My group was selected with other 4 groups to represent UPM in this Chem E Car competition this July. All the best..

Adam Lambert: For Your Entertainment

2010-04-04T00:18:00.000-07:00

Everyone knows him (Adam Lambert) through the reality singing competition (American Idol season 8) and personally I like this season very much til I will play the random episodes whenever I got the free time. Haha.. Today I would like to write some reviews for his songs in For Your Entertainment album and here are the track listing:
1) Music Again
2) For Your Entertainment
3) Whataya Want from Me
4) Strut
5) Soaked
6) Sure Fire Winners
7) A Loaded Smile
8) If I Had You
9) Pick U Up
10) Fever
11) Sleepwalker
12) Aftermath
13) Broken Open
14) Time For Miracles

For Your Entertainment (dance pop) was his official first single and it quickly climbed the charts in various countries. It is still charting according to Billboard charts.com. Whataya Want from Me (rock pop) was his second official single and it sold approximately 756,000 legal digital downloads (Wikipedia). If I Had You was his third single and would be available for legal downloading in few weeks times.
My personal picks are For Your Entertainment, Whataya Want From Me,
If I Had You and Aftermath.

For Your Entertainment
Whataya Want from Me

Best-Paying Degrees in 2010

2010-03-23T11:00:00.000-07:00

Not much personal stuff to be shared for this week . Today I found one interesting article entitled 'Best-Paying Degrees in 2010' in Yahoo website and I thought it was good to share this article with others. It said that engineering still dominated the top 10 highest - earning and the most demand degree. However this survey was conducted in US and UK only, therefore the scenario might not be same in Malaysia. The lowest earning degree reported was sociology, hence all of us should not worry too much. Here is the top-paid Bachelor's degree:

Spoilt

2010-03-19T09:01:00.000-07:00

Today I should have my last paper for test 2 and I'm looking forward to relax myself in the coming weekend. But the lecturer spoilt the day by postponing the test to Monday. Most of my course mates were stunned by the lecturer's decision because majority of them including myself already gave up for this course. The lecturer claimed that the paper she set was too tough for us and she had made a decision to change the questions. Not sure whether she was telling the truth or not, we had to accept this bad new in this morning. Initially, I and several friends planned to go to Genting this weekend but everything has to be postponed. Perhaps God give me another chance to revise this subject properly since I got 7.33/20 for my test 1 and I can fail in this subject if I cannot get high mark in this test 2. Bored........

Importance of me.....

2010-03-13T21:50:00.000-08:00

I won't receive many messages in normal days but I will receive abundance of messages during certain period (exam week)......I start to wonder my importance to course mates...Am I only can be associated with studies only or something else....Should I proud of it or mad of it?

Mixed Feeling

2010-02-26T11:33:00.000-08:00

Last week I spent my holidays in hometown and went out with friends for two days. The highlight of the week was eating dim sum in Foh San restaurant with friends. Wake up at 5.30am in the morning, I got myself prepared and waited for Sengaik to fetch me at 6am. Arrived at restaurant around 6.40am and this restaurant was packed with people already. It was my first time eating dim sum there and all I could said about the dim sum was delicious. I really enjoyed every moment at Foh San restaurant and I hope that I would drop by this place again.
Recently, I got to find out that my Thermodynamics 2 test 1 mark was horrible because I managed to score 7.33/20 only and I was expected I'm going to fail in my test 1 as I didn't use the formulas provided by killer lecturer. I learned my lesson already and I should open my eye widely when answering exam questions. I hope that I can catch up in my test 2. God bless me...
Lately, I'm busy watching American Idol season 9 online (thanks to Eric for providing the link to me) and my early favourite is Andrew Garcia and I'm really addicted to his Hollywood week song 'Straight Up'. I guess I'm not the only one who loves his song because his video in You tube has been watched over 1 million times for a short period of time.

Reunion Dinner 2010

2010-02-08T12:13:00.000-08:00

Few more days, we will be celebrating our Chinese New Year and recently I had my reunion dinner with course mates at Yuen's Steamboat shop (somewhere near the Sunway). The theme of the day is everyone is red. We reached there around 7.30pm and the shop was crowded with people already.

Here are the food taken by 'fungry'( Ah Kwan & Kenny suggested) course mates
Guess what is meant by 'fungry'? Stay tune.....

the group photo in the shop - ultimate red!!

something you should take note of this picture-bummy tummy
please forgive me hj because everyone has the right to know it..

More photos will be uploaded and more stories after this.....Happy Chinese New Year to everyone

I want it more....it feels great to watch badminton matches because you can see how the top players retrieve or smash the shuttlecock. I'm an avid fan of badminton star for long time because personally I'm only interested in badminton in comparison with other sports. Malaysian Open 2010 just ended yesterday where Malaysia managed to won two matches (men single and double) in Bukit Jalil Stadium. In principle of economy, the rule 1 is people will face trade-off in their lives. I'm sacrificing my studies time to watch badminton matches and this means that I will have lesser time in preparing for my test but I'm spending my time to watch something I like the most (haha I'm still the big winner here). My advice is we should not feel guilty for sacrificing your study time as long as you enjoy the thing that you do. Congrats to Datuk Lee Chong Wei and KKK&TBH...

2010-01-13T16:22:00.000-08:00

I shall take some time to manage my blog as it is left unattended most of the time. I can't post pictures in my blog as my notebook is still recuperating and it takes time to get well soon. Last December, I was glad to meet my best friend, Zarul who came back to Malaysia for summer holidays and he bought some souvenirs to me. I will upload the photos of souvenirs later. Time flies very fast as my phone is one-year old already and recently I got my cheque from Nuffnang...haha

Lappy Caught Flu

2010-01-03T23:00:00.000-08:00

This is my first post in 2010 year and I felt sad because my lappy caught flu last Thursday (New Year Eve). Now, I started to appreciate my lappy because it brought many thrills and entertainment to me. I can't finish watching desparate housewives season 6 and many more tv series. I just need to blame the Dell notebooks for causing much problems to the users like me. Ahrrrr......

Where am I?

2009-12-01T15:30:00.000-08:00

This picture was taken quite some time ago and I found it recently from Peter Khiew's blog. I didn't know that he had taken the photo of my class when we were having marching rehearsal in the badminton court. Really miss them alot....

It's My Day

2009-11-16T08:44:00.000-08:00

Birthday cake

On Nov 8, I had my birthday celebration in Mines Shopping Mall with my fellow course mates. About noon, we reached the destination and bought ticket to see Ninja movie before heading to KFC outlet to celebrate my birthday. It was quite boring watching the Ninja movie because the storyline could be predicted but we watched it for the purpose of filing the free time. After celebrating my birthday, most of us were busy chatting and the topics of conversation were varied. About 8pm, I reached my college and went to sleep at 12 something. Last year, I had my birthday celebration in Penang and this year I had it at Mines. Thanks to my fellow course mates who willing to spend their time to celebrate my birthday. Not to forget to say thank you to those who wishing me via hp or facebook.....

My course matesMake a Wish...

2009-11-09T08:17:00.000-08:00

Coming this Friday, I'm going to finish my last paper for this sem. Therefore, much time will be spent to do the revision and I need to neglect my blog first...More from me after this...

Sharing

2009-10-29T12:30:00.000-07:00

It feels great for coming back home before I'm going to battlefield for 2 more papers. Sem break is going to start soon and not sure how I'm going to spend it. For sure, I won't take part-time job and most probably I will watch TV dramas all day long. Luckily, I came back to Ipoh for one week because there will be no water supply in my college for several days. Cant imagine how dirty is the toilet because my wing got plenty of uncivilized toilet users who often don't empty the toilet bowls after they finished their business. I wonder if they will do the same at their homes. That's why I'm planning to move out after I complete my fourth sem. I'm keep on thinking why my r******* likes Jay Chou so much till his ring tone, message alert and not to forget his alarm also Jay Chou's song.

D Day

2009-10-27T21:40:00.000-07:00

Really hard to describe my feeling right now....I miss the shoot again and this time is more severe...Perhaps I set my bar too high till it exceeds my capability and I realize that I'm not superior and I'm just like other humans as well. I have learn t my lesson and hope that there will be a brighter day for me.....

Myolie Wu 胡杏兒

2009-10-09T14:29:00.000-07:00

I'm started to admire this actress when she got the chance to act in Wars of In Laws (我的野蠻奶奶) with Liza Wong (汪明荃). I commend her for the outstanding performance in this series and eventually this drama turned out to be the best drama in the year of 2005. Last year, I got to know that Neway Star company had signed her to become a singer and this new had created much heated debate among the netizens. Some said that TVB actresses should concentrate in acting only whilst the others received this new positively. After hearing the new, I'm really curious about her singing. Here is her 1st EP promotion ( Evolve):

I didn't buy the album but I'm really fall in love for her songs in the 1st EP such as Solo Travel (单身旅行) , Romance Century (浪漫世紀) and duet song with Vincent Wong (哪時此刻). At the end, she is the only TVB artistes who managed to grab the Best Newcomer Singer award from 4 prestigious Hong Kong awards presentation. Coming this November, she will be releasing her 2nd EP and there are several songs in the EP have been plugged such as Love Delusion (恋爱妄想) and Brigher Day (光明日).

Apart from that, she also get the chance to duet with many singers such as Kevin Cheng ( Have Intention - 有意), Bosco Wong ( Thankful for Meeting You - 感激遇到你) and Julian Cheung (Break Off - 一刀了斷). I hope that her upcoming albums will reach Gold album status (25,000 copies sold).

2009-09-26T09:15:00.000-07:00

The holidays will end tomorrow and yeah...just a norm that I didn't read the books that I brought home even though test 2 begins next week. Haha.....It feels great to meet my former classmates on last Sunday (1st day of Hsri Raya) because I have not meet them quite some time and also get to know that they are doing well in their studies. Keep it up buddies......My ever best friend, Eric, will be going down to south for his industry training and I would like to wish him all the best during his training and take care. I'm sure it will be an amazing experience to him for having training there and hopefully I can get souvenir from him when he comes back to motherland. Haha...just joking....Another friend of mine (Jeff) really stunned me because he is getting more stylish nowadays and it is good to see his changes so that I'm able to emulate his steps. Coming this November, I will hit 21 years old and pray that I will graduate with a partner...Haha....maybe that's hard to achieve. To Zarul, I forget to wish you Hari RAya Aidilfitri....please forgive me....THat's all from me.....

2nd match debate..

2009-09-13T16:40:00.000-07:00

I'm feeling good right now as my college K10 finally won the debate match today. There are still numerous matches to go and I hope the debaters including myself will keep the fighting spirits till the end . I'm venturing in debate when I was in my first year studies and I never dare to dream that I will become a debater one day as my grasp of language is not really that good. However, the drive of achieving victory spurred me on participating in debate. Today, I took a huge step where I become the second speaker of my team. The task is getting harder because my tone shouldn't be monotonous all the time and I need to rebut the comments made by opposition sides. Nevertheless, I think I'm managed to nail it. The motion of day is this house believes in affirmative action and I shall give you some time to digest the motion. To be continued.......

Within two years, most of the TVB leading actors and actresses ( named as siu sang and fa dan) have released their albums and they are Raymond Lam (林峰), Bosco Wong (黄宗泽), Myolie Wu (胡杏兒), Linda Chung (钟嘉欣) and now Kate Tsui (徐子珊). How successful they are in becoming singer? Hong Kong music companies are definitely clever and strategist because they know that these tvb actors and actresses do have a large fan base already and no matter how terrible their vocals or singing skills, their album sales will definitely surpass the gold mark ( 25,ooo copies) within a month after released. So far, we can see that Raymond Lam is the only one who able to sell at least 25,000 copies of his albums ( Searching For You In Loving Memories , Your Love and the least album Let's Get Wet) worldwide while others are still struggling to do so. Kudos to Raymond Lam again because recently his CD and DVD concert album had reached platinum status (50,000 copies) and it seems that Raymond Lam is doing well as a singer. Myolie Wu and Linda Chung will be releasing their album respectively in October and November and we will see how is the sale of their album. Personally, I like their new songs very much and they are :

1) 林峰-如果时间来到 (Let's Get Wet album)
2) 林峰-Let's Get Wet (Let's Get Wet album)
3) 胡杏儿-恋爱妄想 (*)
4) 胡杏儿-光明日 (*)
5) 徐子珊-Hit Me (*)
6) 徐子珊-读心术(*)

Note (*) means the album hasn't released yet

Overall, I like Myolie Wu the most because she is really good in singing and acting as well. We should support her more. ( sounds biased). Haha

No words for it

2009-08-21T01:12:00.000-07:00

Yeah.. I just finished my test today and I would give myself score 7/10 for my performance in my test 1. Few week later, I shall having my test 2. Lately, I spent most of time doing lab reports and catching up the syllabus. These few days, I get mad because I'm not only re-do the whole technical reports but also get to hear some harsh words from someone about me. I'm not saying that I'm a perfect guy but in my whole life, I never heard someone saying bad things about me. The story is like this...this sem, I got three labs and got 3 different groups of people. For first group, I will call it a working team as we are complement with each other vey well, the second one, it is acceptable as there is one or two hardworking people in this group so I don’t have to worry much and for the last group, I would say horrible. You know why I said so is because I need to redo the whole technical reports even though I have distributed the works to them. The outcome was their works were unacceptable and I can't close one eye for this kind of works. I'm not aiming very high when coming to lad reports but at least it must meet the acceptable level. The funny thing is this...I'm glad when one of the member keep on asking me about how to write the abstract, introduction and theory of the experiment because they show to me that they start to take initiative to do their works. I was told that she had written on e page of abstract and 2 pages of introduction. To me that was great because she finally kicked off her laziness and finishing up her works. I got shocked when I got the soft copy from her.. .totally unexpected and felt cheated in the way that what she meant by a page is like writing only 3 sentences in a paragraph and double spacing with front size 14 for 2 pages. Oh my gosh...is she kidding because I thought she could have do better than this and plus this week is exam week so a lot of preparation need to be done.You expect me to do the whole report and at the end you're enjoying the same marks. Why I got such group??? In another group, there was a guy who got mad over me for no wrong reasons. Neither I utter bad words to him nor gossiping about him. All of sudden, he blamed me for saying his lacksicidal attitude in doing his report and to be honest I really sure that I didnt comment his work at all. So unfair to me and now he's uttering harsh words to me to hear. Really speechless now….I pray that I could survive through this sem more smoothly. 8 more weeks to go...

I got a bad new from my mum about my uncle (father youngest brother) got stroke and landed himself in hospital unconsciously. Damn scary because he is so young and just reach 40 only. I'm worried that he might paralysed for his whole life. It was a kind a shock to me and his son is now only 5 years old. Just pray hard he will wake up soon.….What a kind of drama that I have to go through now…really cant imagine.

Nerd Boy Gone Wild......

2009-08-02T20:49:00.000-07:00

Story to be continued.....I'm used to be called nerd by friends in school. Nerd boy is the one who always read books all the time and don't spend much time on entertainment like playing games, watching television etc. After I had my course night on Thursday night, some seniors suggested to go for clubbing and some girls agreed to go for clubbing without giving it a second thought but the guys hesitate whether they should go there or not.Take it easy man....at last, the guys including me decided to follow the girls. Around 12 something, we drove down the south to Sunway there and reached the pub called coco-nut (i guess). As I entered the pub or bar, it was total shocking because I didn't expect there will be a loud amplifier and everyone was dancing crazily. We went to search seniors as they arrived earlier than us and finally found them. Seniors passed the drink to us and of course there were insufficient of glasses, so we just shared the drink after one had finished. Imagine how dirty it is.....then we shifted to table near the stage where the DJ was busy playing the hard beat songs and most of my course mates went to the stage and started dancing( dancing like they had taken the ecstasy pills).
Some of them were drunk and their behaviors really stunned me as I'm not used to observe this kind of situation. Around 3am, the pub closed and we headed to mamak stall before going back home. I reached home around 5am and quickly took bath before sleeping for two hours. This is really a nightmare to me and I promise I wouldn't visit it again. I prefer to go to red-box to horn my singing skill or watching late night show at cinema...than this..

don't know what to say..girls take care yourself

Course Nite 0910

2009-07-28T12:30:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, the UPM chemical engineering students had their course night at Mines Resort successfully. The second year students are the committee members in this event. I was given the task to be the program protocol but I didn't do much thing due to my laziness. This year, not much seniors attended the course night because they said it was expensive. What a lame excuse!! Haha just kidding..they have their rights for not attending plus they are having exam for the coming week. There were array of food but some of them were tasteless but still can fill in the stomach. There were also three performances from juniors but the last performance with Phua Chu Kang character really captured the audience's attention and the first two performance really..........speechless......kudos to their efforts. Below are the pics taken during the event..

The food still being warmed...

High Five bread is here.......just add favor to it so it will look tasty

what is this??? cakes....so minute only one plate is on the table....

can everyone got the chance to taste it? I guess nope..

pic of me and direct junior....

The event ended at 11.15pm and the juniors were safe to reach college. Earlier, I had packed my things to stay in my course mate house for one night.......... Exciting story would be up next......
Please stay tuned..............................................................................to be continued.......haha

Result Out....

2009-07-27T14:21:00.000-07:00

Last weeks, I created a poll regarding the accommodation that undergrads prefer in the Uni and I received total 32 votes only in this poll. Maybe the result wasn't accurate but we can take it as reference. Out of 32 votes, 19 votes go to living outside campus and the balance is staying in the college. Thanks for all visitors who participate in this poll and thank you for your suppport.

Honestly, I don't know which one is better and there are pros and cons between these two choices.

Another poll is coming and this poll is about the favourite on-screen couples. Since most of my readers are watching Tvb series, so you should know the couples very well. Cast your vote now......thanks

2 weeks at Uni...

2009-07-17T18:19:00.000-07:00

I have been in uni for 2 weeks in this semester. I registered myself at college on 5th July and I got a new room mate, Daniel Lai. He is my course mate and my former room mate, Pow, is now staying outside campus. Many of my course mate had moved out and they seemed happy to stay outside campus. I miss them a lot because we used to eat lunch or dinner together at college cafe but now I just eat alone or sometimes with Daniel. However, we still continue with our old tradition that is celebrating course mate's birthday and now we are no longer having our birthday celebrations at mamak stall nearby college residential. Majority have brought their cars and they fetch us to better place (cafe) for celebrating birthday. Actually, it is very convenience to have own transport as you can travel everywhere to eat. Last weekend, I went to Mid Valley shopping mall with course mate by car. It took about 45 minutes to reach there and it feels great to reach there by car as because we do not have to pack ourselves in the Ktm. Some took this chance to buy new clothes for the coming Course Night. Later, we watched Transformers there and ate pizzas for our dinner. About 11 pm, we walked to the counter to pay the packing fees and went home. What a tiring day.....

Cheng Chu Sian...

2009-07-03T14:50:00.000-07:00

Last semester, I took archery as my co-curriculum and I did gain a lot of information regarding archery from facilitator. Thanks to him as he gave me grade A for my co-curriculum. At week 14th, we were given the opportunity to organize archery competition among students but I was not qualified in this competition. On the day of competition, I was happy to see Cheng Chu Sian ( he was representing Malaysia in the Beijing Olympic archery) attended the competition. Many avid fans rushed to him and got his signature. For me, I just took photo with him and my friends. He is standing 185 cm tall but I'm standing 178 cm tall only and I wish i can achieve his height. A memorable experience to me...

My part time job.....

2009-06-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

Not to waste my sem break, so I took up my part-time job as a shop assistant. At first, I was reluctant to take up this job as I really did not have any passion in fishing equipment. I just give it a try.
Till now, i still don't like my job....left one more week to go. I learn my lesson now and not in hurry to get job next time.

this is net....i guess u can use it to catch butterfly too

most of my working time is key in data....mundane job

here is some of the fishing rods. The price tags might catch your attention.

Two Disappointments

2009-05-25T23:07:00.000-07:00

After watching the finale of both reality shows recently, I get disappointed because my idols (Danny Gokey frm American Idol and Allison Havard frm ANTM ) didn't win the competitions.
They are really outstanding but we need to accept the fact that there will be a winner and loser in the competition. In brief, I'm catching up the ANTM cycle 12 since April and this time Trya Bank is really biased because she wants a black skin model to win this cycle (arithmetic comes to play if u notice). The black winners are :
cycle 3: Eva Pigford
cycle 6: Danielle Evans
cycle 9: Saleisha Stowers
cycle 12: Teyona Anderson

Teyona Anderson
she still not good enough to be crowned

On the other hand, Allison's pictures are really beautiful and stunning every single week. She is constantly received first calls frm Tyra. I think she has a bright future ahead.

Allison Harvard
runner up

The second disappointment comes when Danny Gokey failed to enter the final of AI. His voice doesnt capture my attention really but I'm attracted to his SPECTACLE so I will turn on the tv for several weeks to watch his performance (....not really...to be exact is his spectacle). I wish to have one. Am I weird?

Danny Gokey
second runner up

For final showdown, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert are competing for the title last week. I get the opportunity to watch the finale. Everyone know that Adam( strong vocal, rendition....everything) deserves to win but Kris(talented in instrument) is not bad as well. I like the song entitled "No Boundaries" performed by them on that night but the lyrics is a bit strange like Simon said "....mountains....Overall, this show is good to watch. Hopefully, PAula will renew her contract.

Kris Allen
winner

Adam Lambert
first runner up

Failed to load the song....sorry guy.

Catching Reality Shows

2009-05-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

These days, I'm busy catching up reality shows such as American Idol season 8(AI) and American Next Top Model cycle 12(ANTM) Now, I am getting excited as the finals of AI and ANTM draw closer. I'm a huge fan of ANTM since cycle 3 with Naima Nora emerged as winner of that cycle. Now it comes to cycle 12 with Celia, Teyone, Allison(my favourite) and Aminat still in the running for the title. to be continued....

Stupid Exam Question!!!!

2009-04-17T21:30:00.000-07:00

Today I'm having my thermodynamic paper and thinking that I am able to do very well. First two questions are easy and I continue with essay part. As I read the question, I know that the question contains errors because the lecturer took the question directly from text book. But he did modify the question in order to make the question more complicated. At the end, the answer turned out to be unlogical at all. When I asked him regarding this, he said my answer was wrong and I tried to recheck my answer but I didnt find any mistake in my calculation steps. So i asked him again and he still insisted that my answer was wrong. I started worry because I didnt want to miss any marks in this paper. So, I proceed with next question. The same thing happens again and now he left out one important info for us to do the calculation. I asked him why there is a missing value in the question and he asked me to read the question again and he tried to walk away. But this time I was smart because I asked him to read the question himself and soon he realised that he forget to put the missing value. He went to his office and almost last 5 minutes of the examination, he shown up and told us the missing value. He didnt extend the examination period and everyone was rushing to do the calculation. I had wasted my time in asking him and cant finish my last calculation. The chance of obtaining A for this subject looks very slim.

Pesta Ang Pow UPM 2009

2009-02-21T00:11:00.000-08:00

Have you seen this before?? It is called tangram or 七巧板 in chinese. I was involved in UPM Pesta Ang Pow 2009 carnival and it was held on 14th Feb 2009. The purpose of having this carnival is to promote Chinese cultures to other races. I am sure that other local universities are also organising this event. It was my friend's idea to have this games in the carnival. Coming to UPM, I'm frequently using Mandarin to communicate with friends and now I have learnt a lot of Chinese characters too. Tangram is a one of traditional Chinese games. All you have to do is form one particular shape like cat or house by using this tangram. It seem easy to form but majority hardly form a complete shape. Only genius can do it within seconds. Are you the one?

I hope you all really enjoy seeing it. The reason why i write short entries in my blog is because of time-constrait. Coming to 2 sem, there are a lot of assignments need to be finished up and i need to do revision as the formulas and calculations getting more and more complicated.

First Try

2009-02-20T23:50:00.000-08:00

I'm taking archery in this sem. At first, I am worried about my safety but now no more fears. In fact, I'm really enjoying this sport.

Reunion Dinner

2009-02-03T13:20:00.000-08:00

Here is my fellow coursemates:

Herb chicken

Grilled chicken

dessert curry tofu

Last month, my course mates and I had reunion dinner at South City Plaza vicinity. About 8.00pm we reached the restaurant and we ordered 8 dishes( forget the name already) for that night. Later, we were busy taking photos and about 11.00pm we left the restaurant. It was my first time having reunion dinner with friends. Really enjoying it. Total RM19.00 per person and I think the price is acceptable.

What a tiring day for me?

After we went back to college, we also celebrated one of our fellow coursemates birthday at ANJUNG. We bought the cappuccino cake from South City Plaza shopping mall. The price of the cake is around RM40.00.

Credit to my coursemate,Yuk Ling, for organizing this reunion dinner for us especially this auspicious Chinese New Year 09. At last, I would like to wish my friends like eric,jeff,kpy,ahbao,weitheng,audrey...the list goes on....Happy Chinese New Year.

2009-01-24T08:58:00.001-08:00

Coming this Chinese New Year, I'm going to buy new handphone. The model is Sony Ericsson W595. The estimated price is around RM 1k only. The specifications of this phone are 3.2MP, shake control etc. Sadly, it doesnt has wifi...
