NACES 2010: Evidence to Success

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

   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 opportunity to participate in essay writing competition and technical power point 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

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!

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 wasn't 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

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

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....

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.........................
