Good news!!
I've officially settled my accomodation in Clayton.
Another big relief~~~
The greatest honour for getting the house should be awarded to none other than WAI CHE!!
Without her, I couldn't imagine that how long more I need to be haunted by the night mare of homeless, strolling at the street of Clayton..
I'm pretty much contented with the house..
To get a house which is fully furnished, reasonably priced, short distance to the campus, can ngam ngam accomodate the 5 of us..etc etc
Wow..this is really by luck..or the Chinese said the house has 'yuan' (fate) with us..
In fact, the house is awesome..haha..
Well, I won't post the exact location of the house, later my pretty housemates being stalked..LoLx..
Everything happened so coincidentally..
1. Wai Che went over Aussie early..
2. Her brother has resumed studies at Clayton..
3. The house was opened for inspection on Tues..
4. We were somehow the first to submit the complete application form with personal identificaton attachment..
....
...
..
.
Followed by the procedure of signing the lease agreement and payment..
Tada~
We've gotten THE HOUSE.
All the efforts are paid off.
All the worries have turned into joy and excitement.
More to settle after CNY.
To stay off-campus is really troublesome.
But I hope things will work well somehow..
Thank you, Wai Che.
Thanks to those who have helped me to inspect houses before this.
Thanks to mum who has helped for the payment.
Thanks to Chin Ying for the help, accompany and constructive suggestions.
Thanks to the future housemates for the quick decision and cooperation.
Hahaha..Thanks everyone..
I'm *in a joyous mood* =))
Don't Stop da Music...Music...
Industrial Training - Last Day
The respective company
At the title stated, YES..Today is my last day of industrial training..
Cheer~~~~ I've been waiting for this moment like 2 months plus ago..
Finally...Finally..here it is..
Need not to wake up as early as 6.30 am daily.
Need not to be stuck in the jam.
Need not to be roasted under the glaring sun.
Relief..relief..n more relief as I'm done with my report..=P
Before started to work, I was so worried that I might not be able to communicate or mix around with the colleague..
But I'm so wrong about it..
Throughout the training, I've been exposed to professional skills and knowledge.
However, the knowledge gained is not specifically regarding academic sense only, what is important is the social skills.
Being able to mix around with people of different levels and religions is really an invaluable experience.
Lessons learned:
All you gonna do is willing to take the initiative.
People can feel what you are trying to convey even by body gesture like a smile, a nodding head or a helping hand by opening the door or carry something.
We are consider as new and fresh people in the industry, so we ought to be truly polite.
Whatever opinion that we are going to suggest, put it in a proper manner.
Smile to people 1st, then people will smile back at you.
Guess what? The colleagues around made me feel..reluctant to end it now..
OMG.. I can't believe that I'm saying this..
But I just realised that..they meant more than what I've in mind..
12 weeks...Seriously, this is not a short period..
8am-5pm every weekday..Undeniably, my feeling towards this company has grown without my realisation..
They are all good people..really really nice, helpful and kind..
I know it would be very rare to get any colleagues like them in future..
If I could, I would appreciate that much more than I do now..
As some of the colleagues took off today, so we had a celebration 1 day in advance prior to my last day of work.
Supposedly I should be the one that belanja them, but in the end I only managed to pay partial of the bill. Ray, thank you o..
As we only had an hour of lunch break, to save time, we had pizza at Ms Ooi house which is like 5 min driving to her place from the company..
The Pizza
At Ms. Ooi's house..this seems to be like a family photo ^^
A group photo of most of the staff of the company..(Ray, Pai seh o..you have become the 'human stand of the camera)
Lastly, I had a surprise from the colleagues.
A gift (warmth scarf) and a card presented by them. Eww..They are so sweet..
Now you understand why I feel reluctant to go?
Just 12-week time, but they seems to be like part of my life now.
Goodbye, Beh & Wai Che
This is an overdued post..
Was supposed to blog about this on Thurs in order to allow Wai Che to read it before flying off..
But I couldn't find time for it..Aihz..*Sorry*
Well, this girl is so far the earliest to leave PG among all the girls for this summer holidays..
Hey no!!..Now that I remember..Beh was the first to leave..Aikz..Pai seh Pai seh..
Beh don't be jealous k.. I will add you to the title of this post in order for you to forgive me..Hahaha~
Beh was back for only around 3 weeks..not even 1 month..
But her long holidays are different from us..cz she's a student of Jap uni..XD
So proud to have a friend studying in Jap.. I don't know why..Probably that's becoz she is the only friend that study Engineering in Tokyo..Cool right?
It's even more special than those in UK or US..Cz there's like too many of them till no specialty for that case..
So I guess if someone went Iraq or Africa to study..I will feel it is cool too..Haha..this is my shallow definition of cool..Forgive me please..
18/12
This is the first meet up we had with Beh at US Pizza..
Wonder how this branch could survive..
We went on a weekday..reached there around 7pm until 10pm..AND we were the only bunch of customers..Though we have the full privacy to talk all we want, but then feeling kesian for the restaurant..
Anyhow, the background of photo taken is awesome..^^
Beh's hair was still quie lengthy at that time..Furthermore she did mention that she purposely kept it to show off to us..N she'll have them 'chopped' after showing off..LoL..So cute~
1/1
The next meet up with Beh was the cooking gathering at her place on the New Year Day..
We have always wanted to make another same event after the first one which was held in Dec 2006..
We took a photo at the exact same location, the place where making us look as if we are very well-educated XD..You can have a look on any changes with us after 2 years time from the photos below..
Well i think we should really continue making this cooking gathering annually..(but it seems to be harder n harder as year goes by)
Hehe..It's fun to get to see the girls together and laugh our lungs out, reminiscing the old sweet times..
The 'we' on 2006
The 'we' on 2009
Beh has even brought each of us a small souvenir from Japan..U r so caring!! Thanks.
Oh yea, forgot to mention that she is filthy rich now..haha..
Good Good..Keep it up ur saving habit so that u can spend on us in future if we happen to visit u in Jap XD
My gift from Beh Beh
So now let's proceed the other half of this post--Wai Che..LoL
Been hanging out more than ever with this gal for this summer break..
Before this, we seldom got to hang out with her as she is like the 'guai guai lui' who seldom hang out..till late at night..
Erm..Correction..In fact, she is still a guai guai lui..
Just that she has gained her freedom bits by bits upon entering 21? ^^
There are too many photos taken with her..N I'm kinda lazy to upload them (blame my the slow connection..urgh)
So I shall proceed to the last gathering we had at her place.
It was a casual farewell gathering with her..nothing formal was done..but I guess she can feel the warmth among us..XD
13/1
A group photo
Thanks to Shu Xian..U made the photo looks cheeky..hehe..
This shot was supposed to be taken during Mew's Bday..but we couldn't make it that time..(Boohoo RB!)..Anyway, not really a prefect one..But the gals are so reluctant to retake..Oh well, it doesn't matter..nothing is perfect in life..At least all of us look happy..=)
Lastly, I want to sincerely show my gratitute Wai Che for everything she has done and still doing..THANKS!!!
Really appreciate it lotz..N I really duno how to repay her good deed..
A scrumptious meal? XD
FYI, I was finding my Australia accommodation..n been searching for people to help doing the house inspection on behalf of me..Wai Che is the 3rd one that is giving me a useful helping hand..Seriously, she is like an angel to me now..Not kidding..
Hopefully all turns out well..Don't wanna get haunted by the house-less nightmare anymore!!

多事之秋
Sigh..I'm feeling super depressed now..
Tues - Fire at factory caused by some idiots
Wed - Power failured caused by TNB
The whole industrial area got no electrical supply for 4 hours..N according to a senior technician, he said TNB will only pay the company's loss if power failure for more than 32 hours which will never happen..
Of coz la..our gorvernment is typical type of 'if money in anything also no problem, if money out whatever also no talk'..
Thur - Windows of my computer in the office got corrupted
Aaahhhhhhh...My half-completed report is inside the computer..yesterday suddenly electricity being cut off, i already didnt get to save part of it..n now the stupid com totally not functioning..
I only have a copy in the com..i wanted to save it before I go home but due to power failure apa pun tak jadi..
Now they are doing system recovery..i duno whether my file would be recovered..Gonna pray very very hard..=(
I really don't feel like doing anything now..
I'm so reluctant to redo the report..
I don't like the start of year 2009..
The more I think, the more stuffs are against me..
How to get rid of the bad bad luck?
Can anyone help? T_T
If I'm superstitious enough, I'd have already gone to ask abt feng shui
But I'm not..
*Big Big Frown*

Fire
OMG..My factory caught on fire jz now..
Well, to be exact, is the drain outside the compound of the factory caught fire..
According to the eyewitness that first spotted the fire who is actually doing some welding at the backyard, he saw someone pour 2 bottle of thinner into our longkang =.=!!!
Immediately, the longkang caught on fire!!
Who is the culprit behind all this? Which idiot has done this?
Is that true about the idiot?
Now they are doing investigation after done rescueing the fire..
Industrial process factory is damn dangerous..
Especially when all factory all built next to each other..
Luckily the factory longkang is kinda clogged..if not the whole factory gg..
Who dare to say longkang clogged is bad then?
I was like the last person to leave the production site..
Cz one of the engineer is on leave..then another one went to check out the fire..n one more went sembahyang..Left me there..waiting for someone to tell me to evacuate myself..
I cannot leave the site cz the machine is still running..waiting for order to shut down it..
Once the machine is shut down, quickly go get my key from the locker and proceed to my car..
My Hyudai Accent was like the last 3 cars over there, waiting for me to get him out of the dangerous place..
Next time I will bring my car key with me..I dun wanna me or my car to become roasted..
Phew~
Thank godness~Everything is back to its safe condition..
What an experience..

A Change of Mood
A change of mood is needed.
So I tried on an unexpected, whole new template.
A colour, a theme that I've never tried before.
Not to say that I love this template a lot, but it somehow jz caught my attention.
But the rainbow effect does give me a little hope. I wish.
The template changing is still under construction.
Hopefully there wont be any problem occurs halfway while u r reading this.
Cheers~
The clock gonna strike 5..I'm going home soon!
Pray hard..No jam please!!!

After all the festive seasons has over, many things have been bothering me these days.
Nothing seems to show positive sign to me.
Seriously, I mean everything.
Been quarreling more than ever with my parents.
I just don't like it if you arrange sth without even informing me.
Perhaps parents always have superior thoughts, but I'm not a slave.
I have the right at least to know, to say yes or no.
Love life isn't that bright nor lively..
I've lost my mind on communication..
Perhaps a heart2heart talk soon would solve the problem..
Been trying to hold on to optimism..but confident can be seen no where..
Once volcano is exploded, nothing could revert back and the ugly side would be revealed..
As for study, although I'm still on my summer break, but my brain doesn't have the chance to rest peacefully..
The optional stream has caused me lots of worries..
Even had nightmare about it..everyone is so 'sustainably processed'!
Maybe..I should really boast up my confident..believe in my instinct..believe tat I'll be able to handle even if I'm all alone..
I wont be alone for too long till new friends found, right?
I'll never know if I never try..once I've decided then I shall do my best..
***Forgot to mention in the previous post that my senior told me Dr. Ooi has resigned..She is such a nice yet smart lecturer..So good luck peeps!
Another problem is regarding my Australia accommodation.
All the preparation to Aussie is done, except for a place to live in.
Actually hunting a room is not that difficult..the criteria required is jz simply reasonable price, cosy house, near to the uni, safe zone, etc
But it becomes difficult in which we need a house to fit 5 people in it.
1, 2 or 3 bedrooms house can be easily found...but not 4 and above!
The Australians no longer place a friendly impression to me.
Those emails that I've sent out as to request regarding the houses are like 'stones drowning into the sea'..I never get any replies for 70% of them..
Even if there are replies, the replies are terribly short and they don't answer your doubts. All they would do is asking u for inspection.
Didn't I mention that I'm NOT IN AUS right now until Feb?
Grrr~ Geram sangat..
On top of that, my parents think that I didn't try hard enough and I didn't try to ask help from people. Oh Gosh!! I've already been asking around for every single possibility..even asking all my colleagues whether they know anyone in Clayton/ Melbourne right now..
I felt embarrassed enough as some friends are like the 'Hi! Bye!' type.
And you actually think that I'm doing nothing?!
Regretful thoughts, bad dreams have been haunting me..
If I were to know that it's so troublesome staying off campus, I would just apply on campus straight..why I bother saving money for you?
*Scream* *Tears* *Embarrassed*
Ahhh..I need to be optimistic!!!
I cannot be defeated by all the negative things..
天无绝人之路!!
After so much of struggle, finally found someone to inspect the house..*Grateful*
Although he is like a total stranger to me, *finger crossed* I wish things would turn out fine.
As stated in my title, 2 negative(s) would make a positive.
Thus, so many negative(s) that I hv would definitely produce a real good positive impact!

A wish upon the star
Well..here comes my very 1st post of year 2009..
But it is not going to be any fun or happening outings that I've been during New Year eve/New Year..
Sth has been bothering me since 2 weeks ago..
It's regarding my studies..
For ur information, for ChemEng students, we need to select a stream out of 3 in our 3rd level of study..
The options are:-
1. Biotechology
2. Nanotechnology and Materials
3. Sustainable Processig
All the while..Even before I enter uni..I've set my mind on something related with oil and gas industry..so my choice would definitely be the 3rd one--"Sustainable processing"..
Until last year (2nd sem, 2008), when we were asked to fill in the survey form on our desired stream, I was still so confident and chose number 3 without any doubts..
But now..but now..
I was told that no.3 is actually the toughest of all..
Well..maybe not the most difficult..but it's the one with the most workload..
This was told by a senior who has completed his year 3 in Clayton..
We will have 3 compulsory subjects n another subject on our optional stream each sem..
As far as I was told, the 3 compulsory subjects are enough to kill with assignment needed to hand up weekly and test on alternate week. Besides that, all the reports are gonna due on the same time..(Ahhh...the lecturers are crazy!)
Not to forget that for sustainable processing subject, students are required to complete more reports compared to other stream..there is also presentation for case studies..bla bla bla..
"Which stream are u choosing?"
"Sustainable processing."
"YOu sure????" with some quirky tones
After the senior has explained to me, only then I understand why his face expression was so freakish..
Hmm..the reason for I've never gave a chance for nanotech to slip through my mind is all thanks to Mr Lai (Our Bionano temporary lecturer from UTAR)..Sorry to be so straight forward..but seriously, all of us cant bear his teaching method (Is he even conducting a lecture?)..It is a torture sitting in the lecture hall listening him pronouncing a language which is worse than my english..(Well, I noe my pronunciation is really bad..maybe this comparison is not obvious enough..but i'm sure u wont expect this kind of lecturer to be a lecturer..=.=) Perhaps he has hell lots of knowledge..but all he did in the lecture hall was reading slides by skipping those phrase that he doesnt know..n calling those scientist's name by He or She..n we learn nothing from his lecture..(Agree??)
This is like an alien subject to us..it is not like maths or chemisty or even electrical that u probably has touch a little from high school or 1st year..We've zero knowledge on this nano thingy..
Tutorial class is another big big thumbs down..Wasting our time waiting for him to solve 'heavan knows what'..
Can u imagine that?
Sigh~ N now the senior is asking me to seriously consider abt switching to Nanotechnology n materials..
"Lecturers for this subject is very kind and helpful..he is doing all the work..n u jz have to read the stuffs that he prepared for u..HD is confirmed for this stream!!
Although I felt busy enough..but for students taking sustainable processing, u can see them staying back in Uni till late at night dealing with reports n case studies..n yet they couldnt finish other reports of compulsory subjects..n asked for my reports instead.."
O.o {OMG}
W-H-Y I've to face this every year..
Last year was chemical or mechanical..
The year before this was IT or engineering..
Two years before was accountancy or computering..
Years before was Form 6 or HSC/SAM..
Woah~I can see the trend now..whatever I chose initially will somehow being neglected..
Hhhhmmmmmmm..
Since my future work does not necessary need the knowledge I gain from university..
Perhaps I should choose an easy way out..
Honestly, I'm kind of convinced by the senior..
But I'm also quite sure that nobody among my friends would change their mind..
Everyone has got phobia from our Year 2 Bionano..
Especially those who are doing the exchange program..bcz only sustainable processing stream is being offered in Sunway campus..they are not given the flexibility to choose..*Big sigh*
Should I? Should I not?
I wish...I only wish that there is 1 or 2 friends could join me..
Oh dear..This is harder than asking someone to drive me all the way to work..(@#$%^&..what kind of comparison is this?)
So anyone interested of joining me?

Hmm..the reason for I've never gave a chance for nanotech to slip through my mind is all thanks to Mr Lai (Our Bionano temporary lecturer from UTAR)..Sorry to be so straight forward..but seriously, all of us cant bear his teaching method (Is he even conducting a lecture?)..It is a torture sitting in the lecture hall listening him pronouncing a language which is worse than my english..(Well, I noe my pronunciation is really bad..maybe this comparison is not obvious enough..but i'm sure u wont expect this kind of lecturer to be a lecturer..=.=) Perhaps he has hell lots of knowledge..but all he did in the lecture hall was reading slides by skipping those phrase that he doesnt know..n calling those scientist's name by He or She..n we learn nothing from his lecture..(Agree??)
This is like an alien subject to us..it is not like maths or chemisty or even electrical that u probably has touch a little from high school or 1st year..We've zero knowledge on this nano thingy..
Tutorial class is another big big thumbs down..Wasting our time waiting for him to solve 'heavan knows what'..
Can u imagine that?
Sigh~ N now the senior is asking me to seriously consider abt switching to Nanotechnology n materials..
"Lecturers for this subject is very kind and helpful..he is doing all the work..n u jz have to read the stuffs that he prepared for u..HD is confirmed for this stream!!
Although I felt busy enough..but for students taking sustainable processing, u can see them staying back in Uni till late at night dealing with reports n case studies..n yet they couldnt finish other reports of compulsory subjects..n asked for my reports instead.."
O.o {OMG}
W-H-Y I've to face this every year..
Last year was chemical or mechanical..
The year before this was IT or engineering..
Two years before was accountancy or computering..
Years before was Form 6 or HSC/SAM..
Woah~I can see the trend now..whatever I chose initially will somehow being neglected..
Hhhhmmmmmmm..
Since my future work does not necessary need the knowledge I gain from university..
Perhaps I should choose an easy way out..
Honestly, I'm kind of convinced by the senior..
But I'm also quite sure that nobody among my friends would change their mind..
Everyone has got phobia from our Year 2 Bionano..
Especially those who are doing the exchange program..bcz only sustainable processing stream is being offered in Sunway campus..they are not given the flexibility to choose..*Big sigh*
Should I? Should I not?
I wish...I only wish that there is 1 or 2 friends could join me..
Oh dear..This is harder than asking someone to drive me all the way to work..(@#$%^&..what kind of comparison is this?)
So anyone interested of joining me?
*Wishing upon the star*
The wishes I wish
