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!

Random

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!

Last but... not least

I just finished the last practical for site surveying last saturday. It was the last practical and im supposed to be very happy but i feel bad now. The last practical reminded me of the first practical that we had done few months ago. When i first saw the timetable, i shouted "Sux! There's a practical on Saturday!" then i complained to my mom via mobile phone. I did not intend to join this practical in the beginning because it was on 8am.

During the 1st practical, the lecturer was late but he walked into the lab without any response! When i first saw the lecturer, he doesnt looks like a malay (he's Thai actually) but dare not to ask nor talk more coz he looks fierce
. That explains why nobody dares to ask him for our results. Fact of the matter is that he's not as fierce and unfriendly as we thought.

We still have another practical test in this coming Saturday. In the test, we will be asked to set-up the theodolite within 2 minutes. I tried asking him to increase the time to 3 minutes but he rejected me and said that our senior can make it within 1 minutes and he can make it within 15 seconds. In the previous practise, the average time for me to set-up the theodolite was 3 minutes, so i don't think i can set it within 2 minutes.

So, im going to end the last practical in this coming Saturday. Wish me luck!

Life in Uni

Again, i just realised that I've abandoned my blog for almost 1 month. Sorry, folks. But im back to be a blogger now! Time flies, i have been here almost 2 months and im kinda under pressure preparing for my midterm. Apart from this, i checked my course structure few weeks ago and i realised that start from year 2, im not going to have short sem. anymore. Which means, im about to enjoy my long holidays soon! What to do at that time? Work as a part-time teacher? By the way, im taking 5 subjects this sem. which includes, Pengajian Malaysia, Building Structural System (BSS), Site Surveying, Measurement of Building Works and Construction Technology (CT). While, i like Site Surveying the most then continue by Construction Technology.

site lecturer-Mr.Thirak

There are 2 lecturers for this subject. One is giving us the theoretical about Site Surveying and another one is a part-time lecturer who teaches us during the practical. He's actually a Site Surveyor and very nice in person. Im wondering why the lecturer said "Don't play the fool with the site lecturer" during the 1st lecture. The site lecturer looks fierce actually. Undeniably, i felt scared when i 1st attended the site practical and our lecturer had already advised us that "Don't play the fool with him." But, i found out that he's nice and funny actually. Ok, back to another lecturer who is giving us theoretical about the site during lecture. He's good but sometime he teaches too fast. During the lecture, he likes to say "Class, there is no magic..." after he proven something on the white board.

setting up the equipment


Few days ago, i asked him about the hints for midterm. Because in the previous lecture, he had already mentioned that which part of the questions are not straight forward and have to think when answering question. But I was busy doing the exercise given and therefore, i missed it. So, when i asked him again :" Sir, that day you said which question have to think ar?" and he answered :"All lar.. All have to think." (what the... that day u said SOME only... =.=")
Apart from this, as i mentioned before, i got 2 lecturers in Site Surveying. During the tutorial, i took the result which i got in practical and showed it to the lecturer because im not sure whether the calculation was correct or not.

Choon: Sir, how to calculate this one? Lecturer: Eh, i thought Mr.Thirak (Site lecturer) already teach u all! Choon: Never.
After he proven me the method of calculation, he realised that there was some mistake at another part of the result. After he calculated...

Lecturer: Why your Reduce Level for A to C and C to A is different? How you get your reading one? Choon: According to the value showed in the screen lar!
The lecturer was pointing at the result and said "This one.... lousy surveyor lar~" (he just making fool with me, don't take it seriously)

Make a contrast here! Should i complain about the Building Structural System (BSS) here? Well, in the previous assignment, actually there was some mistake for the question given by her. We tried to ask her about the assignment, but in the end, she came out with this "This is your assignment, you cannot ask me here." Apart from this, in the midterm, i screwed up my last question. She came out a question which i never seen it before. After the midterm, i asked my friends whether they know to solve the last question or not and their answer were NO! For the latest assignment given by her, i still have no idea about the last question and i asked her during lecture and again, she said "This is your assignment, you cannot ask me here." (seriously, the questions given by you memang banyok masaloh lar~) BSS is fun actually but because of the lecturer, i feel it's uninteresting.

Mostly, every lecturer will come out some their "own" word. Just like the lecturer for Construction Technology, she likes to name those workers as Ali, Abu and Ah Kau and for the lecturer for Measurement, he likes to mention about first class during lecture. While, for the Site lecturer, he likes to say "There's no magic, class" after he proven something on the white board. Apart from this, he also likes to say "Why makes life so difficult?" and " we ASSUME this...." I wonder why he likes to use the word ASSUME! So, im going to say "Sir, you ASSUME this answer is correct lar, but how about this?"

The Rules To Be A Malaysian

As a Malaysian, i know the spirit of a Malaysian nowadays very well. Malaysians are very 'kia su', no matter what, they want to be the winner or champion. Parents nowadays like to force their children to study and get the top ranking in school. Btw, parents like to compare their son/daughter with the other auntie uncle's son/daughter. You can often hear this in market, "Eh, ah dog's gia 9 le As in SPM lar (ah dog's son score 9As in SPM)! Lu eh leh (How about yours)?", "Eh, ah cat's daughter tak chek wua kok (study overseas) ler ", "Eh, Abu's son chia gao tak chek (good in his education) ler~"... Maybe it's just the 'small talk' in market, but they don't realise what they've said might hurt those who did not do too well in their exams. Try to put yourself into his/her shoes! So juniors, if your parent compare you with your friends next time, you just ask them, "Why my friends can sit mercedes benz but i can only sit kancil?"

Malaysians like to compare no matter what! Car, accommodation, lifestyle and even education! Apart from this, some Malaysians like to show their high grade identity by speaking in english. Speaking in english does not shows that you're in high level! Usually people like to ask, "Hey, ah cat's banglo got how many stories ar?" Why don't people ask, "Hey, ah cat's banglo got how many hecta ar?" So, the conclusion is... the higher the banglo, the richer you are? It would only totture your maid actually!

As a freshman in KL and the 'natural' alarm clock will wake me up early in the morning! Sounds great right? Early in the morning, they like to honk here and there just because of the traffic jam. Drivers! No matter how you press your honk, your car still stuck inside the traffic jam. Undeniable, im also one of those impatient drivers. Don't blame me coz' im also one of the Malaysian. Apart from that, Malaysians like to rush. When i was in LRT station, i realised that, people like to queue-up (not even Q-ing-up sometimes) quickly
when they heard the friction sound of the LRT. While i was inside the coach, i discovered that, even the coach was already full and the warning tone kept ringing, they still rushed into the coach.

Malaysians should master this words in mind "Save The Environment". I don't know why? Malaysian likes to use plastic very much! Even he or she buy a very small thing and he or she will say "Dek, mintok plastic se!" At the end, you can see those plastics 'flying' all around the streets in Malaysia. When i was in the class, the lecturer had made some comparison between Malaysia and the Ang Mo. In Malaysia, if you ask your client to built something which can save the environment for their building. Before you start your explanation for the importance of saving our environment, 1st thing they will ask.... "How much ar?" and once you tell him or her the price, they will only say "No need lar~" So what to do? Client is your boss!

What's Your Name?

Andy? Alex? Michelle? Micheal? Kelvin? Kelly...

Don't you think it sounds familiar? You can hear these name all around the world. Undeniable, it's quite easy for me to remember those freshman who has an english name. During the orientation days, i met one of the freshmen whose name Kelvin and he's from Skudai, Johor. I can easily remember his name, but i don't know how about him since i didn't have an english name.

Well, Im studying in UTAR, Setapak currently and it's quite fresh for me. New Life, New Friends and New Environment for me! There's nothing special bout the orientation days and surprisingly there were quite a number of ex-candidates for STPM studying here. Oh ya! For those who spammed my blog before, i can tell you that, i enjoy with my uni life now and what you have expected is not the fact! Disappointed, right? Yea, it's ok! Hahaaaa...

Oh ya, another thing is... i didn't get home-sick since im here. Maybe its due to the reason that im staying with my cousin and i share a master room with 2 guys who's studying in TARC. Maybe i don't like to be alone and if im alone, i would start thinking something very negatively. Tell you guys something but please don't spread it! On 23rd May morning, my parent did sent me to the airport at 7am if im not mistaken. When i was on the way, i got no any special mood but who knows, when i reached the airport and at the moment i closed the car's door, my tears was flowing out but i quickly turned my body away and ran into the airport. Funny right?

Apart from this, the MC for the orientation days was quite funny and i didn't know his name since 1st day of orientation. He likes to ask this, " Pulau Pinang! Who's from Pulau Pinang? Terengganu? Who's from Terengganu? Melake! Who's from Melaka?" When came to "Terengganu? Who's from Terengganu?" and i wa the only one who raised up my hand.

During the Mass Call, it's quite formal and all the VVIP and VIP were invited and what caught my attention was when the UTAR President Ir.Professor Dato' Dr. Chuah Hean Teik said that: "SPM and STPM is just like passport to enter UNI". Before ended, we had to pledge and it reminded me the secondary school's life which we had to pledge on every early Sunday.

So, the conclusion is.. should i have an english name? xD

Ok, that's all for my orientation. Bye, folks!

Appreciate

Hi folks, i'm back to be a blogger now. What's in my mind currently is i'm leaving KayTee soon. It was Teacher's day few days ago and what happened was... i celebrated it in primary school. The feeling was quite weird coz' almost 8 years i didn't celebrate Teacher's Day there. Actually, i didn't expect to be there celebrating there. It's because i went to school last Thursday with one of my friend-Soo Hong. Firstly, we just planned to have our breakfast there. But we met our ex-teacher and here are the photos to share.


I showed him the photos through the screen afterward since he asked me whether the photos look nice or not. Hence, he asked me to wash the photos and give it to him and for sure i said YES! We were going back at 1230pm and before that, we went to the staff room and just to wave good-bye with the ex-teacher. Initially i thought he just kidding with me bout the photos but who knows, he said " Don't be so stingy lar~" and i was stunt... Since Teacher's Day was around the corner, i decided to give him the photos i took as gift. =)



the gift

On that day, we went to school around 930am and since it was recess time and to prevent children being frightened, we decided to stay at the wayside pavilion which nearby the canteen.




There were some activities in the hall at 10am but we dare not even to step into the hall because we're neither students nor parents. While we were stalking around, we met up a teacher and got the permission to watch the performance in the hall but with condition that whatever videos or photos taken during the performance cannnot be uploaded on facebook.
( She said no facebook but she didn't said no twitter or plurk )

The performance ended at 1245pm and i felt like taking photos with my ex-classroom. Then we rushed to staff room to get permission again and here are the photos!

The word H is not Hijau but is Hell

6H



Ok! That's all for today! Bye!
