An Early December

Holy shyt! I was lost in Kuala Terengganu! As we known, Kuala Terengganu is so micro as compared to Kuala Lumpur and the other places! On 1st of December, I planned to get some sunset photos and so I departed around 5.30pm with my Yahama Cup along. So, when I reached Cendering, I actually saw the place which I could set-up the tripod and get a nice scenery but I didn't know where is the entry located!


I decided to proceed my journey and find out the location of the entry but I failed to search for the entry. I was in a kampung and the place was so unfamiliar! Since the maximum speed of the motor is only 90km/h so I did made a U-turn and rode 80km/h to get out from the kampung! After I get out from the kampung, I had chosen Masjid Terapung as my place to snap the sunset photos. Next, I put my motor car keys into pocket and set-up the speedlight and started the shooting. I did shot loads of photos but this is the one of succeeded result.

I had a mini heart attack after the shooting. I kept my stuffs around 6.45pm because the sky turned dark. At the time when I want to take the keys from my pocket, I was shocked because I missed the keys! FML!  What I did was kept on searching, hunted on the floor but the sky turned darker! While I was hunting, I was asking myself "How am I going to explain this to my dad?!" Luckily, I found the keys around 30 minutes later and it just beside the motor. WTH! 


Besides, I did attended Hebe's promo tour on 10th December which is located in Tunku Abdul Rahman College (TARC).  Before this I was worried that I failed to grab the ticket but thanks to my friend-Shery Kan who redeemed it via Yeah! magazine. Fast forward, I reached TARC around 7pm and there was a long queue! What to do? I am not a loyalty fans.


We entered the hall around 8pm and the promo tour started at 9pm. Before the promo tour started, some strangers loyalty fans were dancing and luckily I was at the very back so I couldn't watched it clearly. Around 9.30pm, Hebe came out and the people who were standing in front of me rose up their hand as high as they could! Well, maybe they were worried Hebe can't saw their hands clearly.

Is Hebe! Obvious right?

Since I was standing at the very back, I couldn't get a clearer pictures. Moreover, I  failed to buy a 18-300mm lens before the promo tour. Luckily the fella who was standing beside me was using the 18-300mm lens. So, I could see Hebe clearly through his screen! LOL! Besides, the sound system was so darn sux worst! I can't even listened what did Hebe said!


Hebe started signed the albums after her performance and again there was a long queue. I decided to queue up in a while. Suddenly the host said "Thanks for those who participating them self for this promo tour. We do appreciate and because we are lack of time, we have to stop the autograph section."


Hence, an disarray occurred! The host just kept comforting the situation and finally Hebe stepped forward sand asked "Who haven't get the autograph yet?" Hmm, around 300 fans rose up their hand included me. Then, she said "Ok, let them in!" I think any singer who refuses autographs has a hell of a nerve. I think I will throw away all her albums if she dare to cancel the autograph section.

Here is her autograph.

When I was on the stage, I requested her to write my name in the album but I failed. I called her twice but end up with a smile. I was so shocked by her thick cosmetic when she showed her smile to me and she looks so skinny! For sure, I did shake hand with her. I'm going to miss her! 

My Astro 开心了龙龙

On an early October, I saw an advertisement via Astro and the advertisement is about shooting a music video. Since Chinese New Year is around the corner, Astro plans to shoot the music video in every states and so Kuala Terengganu is one of the spot. The shooting was started at 8am sharp on 18th Nov.2011 and before we departed, my mom was wearing a sexy red shirt and she looked like a cardinal bird a.k.a angry bird. Then, I questioned her, "Mom, are you sure you want to wear like this?!" and she replied me "Sure! Shooting music video for Chinese New Year what!" Please larh, Mom! Who you think you are? Super star arh? The director will only asks you to stand away from the camera!

We reached there around 8.30pm and I was shocked! Around 300 people (according to the news reported) were participating. I guess almost all the Chinese in Kuala Terengganu were there. After that, I walked around with my camera and I saw my friends-YiNien Toh and ChuiYing Fong. I did invited to join the shooting but I rejected. Actually, I wanted to tag along but I need to carry along a 300g camera and since they were shooting, so I need to stand away from the camera.

"So mom, where are you?" 

Queuing Up. 

Later, I found a perfect position  and it was next to their camera. After I seized the place, I started to snap some photos. When I looked through the screen on my camera, I saw somebody was dancing and I was like "Uncle, can you please move your ass away?!" then I shifted my camera away to make sure who was that man and... oh, it was the director a.k.a ChiuDao! Next, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

"Ok, nice shoot! Take a break and we'll shoot again." 

"ChiuDao, you said good shoot but why we need to re-shoot?" 

"Mr.Director, make it fast larh! Very hot wehy~"

Terengganurians, are you ready?!

Cheers!!

"Ok! Good shoot!"

"Mr.Director, make sure it's a good shoot arh. I am not going to re-shoot.
Hold on, where is my mom? WHERE IS MY MOM?!"

The product

After the shooting, I did take a photo with ChiuDao and he was very kind. He thanked me after we took this photo and I wonder why? "Erm, Mr.Director, I never take part in the shooting because I need to carry my camera. So no need to thank me."  My friend told me that I look awkward in this photo. Is it? Hmm, I think it is because I do not know how to respond when people put his or her hand on my shoulder. It would look more weird if I put my hand on his waist.

Besides, I like their t-shirt and I regret that I never request it from the director! I wish I could wear it on the 1st day of Chinese New Year. So, can I have one? Ok, I am going to call-in to Astro and ask for it! Last but not least, I am looking forward to this amazing video and wish to see you guys soon!

Random

I was chatting with one of my course-mates few weeks ago and she did told me how her life carries on. Recently, she works as a part time in a contractor firm because she is having a 3 months semester break.  She told me that she learnt quite many things in the firm. Hmm...at least she went to site for twice and as a friend, I am glad to hear it! When she questioned me how was my job progress and what I told her just "read the drawings lorh~ read the articles lorh~" I felt so  embarrassing  upset because I did nothing besides study the drawings and articles.


I told my dad that I am going to quit when I was having my breakfast with my parent on the next day ! But my dad just kept silent. Then, I went to the office after my breakfast and I read some articles as usual. Around 12pm, I applied some jobs from the kakak in-charge and she said "tarak larh~" then I requested some drawings from her. She was impatient and showed me her bitchy face. Fine, I looked for the supervisor!


On the beginning, the supervisor asked me to estimate the quantities of a bungalow but I stopped him because I only knew to calculate the foundation, floor and wall and I haven't come across with the stairs and roofs. I did learnt AutoCAD in last two semester. So I issued him "Can I draw some drawings by AutoCAD?" and finally he gave me a bungalow with A2 size and asked me to draw it by AutoCAD. Thus, I can tell my friend that "I do some AutoCAD works" instead of study drawings and read articles.

When I was drawing the bungalow by using AutoCAD, the boss a.k.a uncle was surprised when he entered office. Then he said "Not bad marh! At least the shape is coming out." I was like "Please larh~ I had been taught this by an architect k." Before he left, he touched my shoulder and said "Ban Ban Ouk (pick up slowly)" and what was appeared in my mind was: I had been trained to summit two plan views within 1 week and now you ask me Ban Ban Ouk?!

Life in Kaytee

Hello folks! I am back! Since there have not been offered in short semester, so I am now enjoying my 3 months break at my hometown. Hmm... Enjoy? Sometimes it could be dull because there is no cinema and shopping complex in Kuala Terengganu aka Kaytee. However, I sometimes accompany my mom to pasar and  I accustomed to listen to this "Eh, holidays arh?" and I feel like reply them in this way "Yea larh! If not come back visit u arh?!" instead of "Yea.. Yea..(with a smile)" Even though the life in Kaytee is boring but I still love it!

Before that, I actually tried to get a part time job in KL area which is related to construction field but after I contacted the person in-charge, she told me that I need to walk around 30 minutes from the LRT station to reach their firm. 30 minutes you know! Therefore, she suggested me to take a cab. What I want to tell her is "If you are willing to give me RM1000 as my salary, I am ready to accept the job." In the end, I get a part time job in Kaytee which is also relayed to construction field. In fact, the job should start in October but due to some reasons it started few days before.

I used to call the boss as uncle because he is my neighbor since I was born. On the first day, I reached the firm at 11am and he was in the meeting room. After that he introduced me to other colleagues. Next, he told me that "Actually your time can be very flexible larh~ If you want to come then you can come. No need to come here everyday." Once he told me this, I know, this is a non-profit part time job. I really don't mind about the salary because I am not even a diploma holder.

I am the kind of person who can't get along with strangers quickly hence till date I have yet to speak to my colleagues. One of my best friends told me that, as a trainee, you yourself have to request some jobs from your colleagues. Not just wait them to give you a job. Hmm... Well, I am prepared to work for them if they are willing to give me some tasks. But they can even play FIFA when boss is not around and it shows that the jobs are limited. Do you think they will give me some 'extra' duties?

Besides that, I am required to read all the drawings with the materials and it was just a drawing on the first day and so I used around 1 hour to finish it. Next, I was asked to read a Contract Document. I am kinda familiar with this because I studied it last semester. It is only a Lump Sum contact. So I had used 1 hour to finish the tasks which was given by the manager and so, from 12pm to 5pm, I repeated reading the same thing.

On the second day, when I reached the firm at 9am sharp, I thought I am going to do the same damn thing as yesterday. When I started to flip through the drawings again, the manager stopped me and said "You can also take a look on the catalogues at the back there and try to understand the price lists." and I was like "Thank GOD, at least, I got something to do!" I was so excited and read through every article inside but few hours later, I turned idled. Apart from this, I realised that almost all of the catalogues were published before year 2005. What is the purpose of me understanding the prices? However, I am now still reading the catalogues.

Few days ago, I met a Fortune Teller and he said my career gonna be well developed when I am 26 and he also added, my partner will come into sight when I am 24. Well, I am not a superstitious person but what he told me were quite true. He said I am a person who like to spend money and sometimes the way I speak is ill. Hmm.. Quite true! Hahaa! I guess my friends who know me well are nodding now. Right?

Life in Year Two

Hi folks, I am back! I just realised that I have been abandoning my blog for almost 3 months. I am truly sorry about that. Hmm.. The difference between Year One and Year Two? Well, pressure and work load are much higher as compared to Year One. Early of the semester, one of the lecturer-Dr. Lee had distributed an assignment.

After we get into a group, works distribution started and my task was questionnaire survey. We have to collect at least 10 set of questionnaire survey from the professions such as Architect, Quantity Surveyor, Engineer and etc. Actually we did this assignment last minute just because we had to deal with other assignments and the inefficiency of our leader group members.

Since it was a last minute work, I was lacking of time to post or mail the questionnaire survey. Therefore, I decided to let the Architects in our campus answer the questionnaire survey. First was Architect Liaw who was teaching Building Services and Equipment when I was in Year One Semester Two. He is very kind and he used 40 minutes to complete the questionnaire.

Second was Architect Ong who taught Technical Drawing & CADD when i was in Year One Semester Three. Thirdly, Mr. Lim who was an assistant of Architect Liaw during BSE lecture. Mr. Lim looks fierce and since I never communicate with him before, so I dare not to ask him to answer me the questionnaire but I manage to give him the questionnaire throught Architect Ong's help.

Some lecturers are willing to help but some aren't. One day, I sent a set of questionnaire survey to one of the Architect in our campus.  He was having class that time and I knocked the door and requested him to answer me a questionnaire survey. He grabbed the questionnaire and flipped through and said "I cant answer u now.. You see, I'm having class now." Then i questioned him is it possible to get back the questionnaire 2 days later. He never answered my question and he kept on flipping the questionnaire. He said "Maybe I can fill in this after my class, so if you can wait then you wait larh. If cant then..." I was like What The Furk! Can you please be polite to me?! I know you are an registered Architect but So What?! If you are not willing to answer the questionnaire, please do tell me! I will disappear in front of you! But I never wait for him in the end. He sms me after he fill in the questionnaire.

On 19th Aug, as usual, class started at 8am sharp. Before the class started, we were chit chatting and suddenly one of my coursemates-MeiChee entered lecture hall and shouted "I saw Swee Chen lying down on the divider, he met with accident!" We were lost when we saw Swee Chen on the divider! He was in pain but could hardly make a noise because some broken glasses which partially penetrated his throat. After the accident, some fake friends showed their concern by writing him a wishing card but some prove it by actions!

Time flies! Year Two Semester One gonna end! =(

Swee Chen, get well soon! 

Early of The Semester

Hi folks, I'm back to be a blogger now and I'm now in Year Two Semester One. What I'm gonna share in this post is about my life in this semester. First of all, lecturers in this semester look so serious and yet i haven't get used to it. No more fun, no more enjoyment and no more jokes!   

In the beginning of the semester, some of my friends and i dropped Economics. Well, maybe it is because we haven't get used to the way she lectures as she expects us to know so much about the subject in week 1 itself. Besides that, instead of guiding us, she asks a lot of questions which could not easily answered due to the fact that we are still new to this subject.  

Apart from this, I'm also taking Team-building and Effective Leadership as a subject. 3 assignments have been distributed by Miss Chan and one of them is Community Service and the rest are Outside Classroom Activities. We have chosen a nursery as the Community Service. Yea, it is a nursery! Can you imagine? I am going to have a bonding session with the kids! While for the Outside Classroom Activities, we are still considering. Wash the toilet bowls in UTAR, maybe?

Besides that, I had done something silly during this semester! One of my friend who had failed Site Surveying in Year One Semester One and i accompanied him to attend the first lecture by Mr. Ng. At 3pm sharp, the lecturer entered the lecture hall. After he went through the introduction part, he spotted me and pointed at me and asked "Hey, you re-take arh?" and i answered "Yea larh! Who asked you to fail me?!" It was an awkward moment because the lecture hall was so silent and I am the one who shouting like a monkey! In the end, i left the lecture hall at 3.15pm.

The Most Torturing Semester

Hi folks, i'm back and  i just finished my last semester in year one. Now i plan to share something interesting and torturing in this post. On the first day, i attended the class at 8am sharp and a bunch of course-mates were chit chatting among each and other while waiting for the lecturer to enter the lecture hall. At 8am sharp, the lecturer came in and we were so shock to see Mr.Ng, who had taught us in previous semester. Undeniable, once he stepped into the lecture hall, i felt like "God, i'm going to score a bad result in this subject!" Undeniable, he is more advance in calculation subjects instead of theoretical subjects.

Few weeks later, he distributed an assignment entitled "Site Visit Case Study" which is about the waterproofing proposed system. I had questioned him on how to contact the person in charge and he just answered "Just contact the suppliers larh!" but at the end we managed to complete the assignments. We learned a lot of things during the site visit and a billions thanks to Mr.Lee, a Project Manager who leaded us at site.

In this semester, we are also studying a subject name AutoCad which is a software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting and it is normally for Architect. For this subject, we are taught by Mr.Ong, a so-called Korean lecturer or Architect lecturer and it is the most torturing subject in this semester. Now, i dare to tell you that, I AM HALF AN ARCHITECT NOW!   

It is his first time to lecture a bunch of students and before the first lecture started, my friends and i were chit chatting outside the lecture hall. Then, Mr.Ong appeared and i asked my friend "He's our lecturer?! Why he looks so young?! How come his hairstyle looks so nice?!" He is a perfectionist! As a  Quantity Surveying student, we just have to know how to study the plan and do some simply sketches but the lecturer treated us as a Architect students. And well, i'll let the pictures do the talking.

Final Product

You may think that the processes are easy or you may think that it can be finished by using only 3 simple commands. What I want to tell you is, if you really can finish it by using only 3 simple commands, please do come and challenge me.

Besides, coursemates and I went to Genting Highlands after the last paper on 9th May and we had a blast there! Apart from this, we also sneek into Casino at night and for sure we gambled there! The next day, we celebrated Linsye and Swee Chen's birthday and now I will let the pictures do the talking again. 

Madness of the UTARians

Hi folks, I'm back to be a blogger now! I just realised that i have been dumping my blog for almost 3 months now! Im so sorry about that. Hence I intend to share something interesting in this post.

We went to a night market which is located in Sri Lampai at 6pm sharp. On the way there, one of my course mates, Lyn Sye said he might travel to Genting with his friends, ZenXin and Sherly around 9pm later. 

It was unfortunate that I couldn't go due to the fact that my friend's four seater car was occupied. On top of that, i had to attend class at 8am the next day. I reached home around 9pm and it was almost 10pm when I'm done.

Later, I received a call from Lyn Sye and was told that ZenXin and Sheryl were not going to join them. There were actually 2 more extra seats and he had invited me to join them. I accepted the invitation.

He told me on the phone that he decided to travel to "Look Out Point" instead of Genting.

At the same time, i thought that "Look Out Point" would be much nearer. I estimated that I would be able to reach home before 1am if we depart at 10.30pm.

In order to view the whole of Kuala Lumpur, we had to go to Panorama Restaurant which is located at the top floor of the restaurant. There, we only ordered one beverage instead of 5. The waiter told us that, "You guys have to order 5 drinks, if not all of you have to go to the ground floor." We went back to the ground floor in the end to avoid any conflicts.

When we were on the way back to the car park, LinSye suggested to go to Genting and i was stunt! I had to follow them since i did not have transport to go home!

We reached Genting around 1am and it was rather foggy due to the cold weather when we reached genting, causing us to have limited vision. Luckily i was wearing my sweater! When we reached "First World Hotel", we started looking at the location of "The Coffee Bean" and 45 minutes later, we found the shop finally but it closed! In the end, we went to "Starbucks" and 'chik-chat' there.
