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.

Short Update

Hey folks, I did something embarrassing! Lately, we're require to get an article which according to our course via website then summarises it. Few days ago, i email some of the articles to my lecturer just to make sure whether my articles were acceptable or not. You know what?! I typed his name wrongly! Embarrassing right?! I told my course-mates the next day and they just kept on laughing at me! I think i have to apologise to him, right?

Last few days, course-mates and I went to the office to discuss the articles with our lecturer. In our uni, you have to skype your lecturer before you get into the office. Unfortunately, the lecturer was offline but we're lacked of time because our class begun half and hour later. Shyt! We forced to run into the office without permission.

As i opened the door, i saw a lecturer and she stared at me just like i did something wrong. I requested her to look for my lecturer. She asked me to skype him first before entering the office. But i told her that he was in offline status but she still rejected my request and said You can email your lecturer or give him a call. No matter how, you're not allow to beyond this point! Bla~bla~bla~ and all those craps!  Luckily my ex-lecturer-Mr. Ng was there and i begged him to help me. At the end, we met the lecturer but our articles had been rejected by him. However, a billion thanks to Mr. Ng!

Hey folks, i'm back to be a blogger now! Just realised that i have been abandoned my blog for almost 2 months and I'm very sorry about that. Well, i just started my short semester currently and nothing funny or special to share with you guys so far. Previously, i got my first semester results and it turned out to be bad! I cant even achieve what i expected but at least I passed all the subjects.

Of course, i have been taught by another lecturer which is Dr.Selva. Dr.Selva is a very interesting person and he makes me feel comfort during his lecture but im still not used to him teaching me. Few days ago, i met my ex-lecturer in the office and i gave him a warm smile. He asked me about the results and i told him that i have to meet him again next semester and he got shocked by that. Actually, i passed his subject but i just wanted to joke with him!

Apart from this, Mr.Tan is going to give us a test next week. Gila babi right? What to do? It's short sem now! Everything have to rush... rush... rush... By the way, i have already registered as a student helper of ITISC this sem and i'll only be on duty in every thursday morning. Since it's a short sem so i'll have plenty of time to work as student helper in uni. That's all for today! Bye!
