at 11.45am today, I walked out of The Academy and YES! It's almost the end of my engineering education which span for 3 years long. I am glad that I have been through thick and thin and survive with what I can say it was very satisfying! I am very fortunate to have helpful and kind friends who are willing to help. I might have fallen into the right path at the right time. I am glad and there's no complaints! There's ups and downs which I believe that could help me throughout my journey here so far.
There's one more to go and it will not be taken for granted. Tools and Techniques for Enterprise which is the final paper on the coming Tuesday. I am willing to work hard even I know essay would be a predicament which I could face in the future. This is the first step towards greater challenge!
Apart from myself on my coming-to-an-end undergraduate journey, Roger Federer had came through even more difficult challenges before today. In his last 16 match in the French Open, he overcame a 2-0 deficit to come back 3-2 winning his final 3 sets to secure a place in the quarter-final.
Monfils hails the Champion!
His quarter-final opponent, frenchman Gael Monfils who is the local favourite made Federer work hard for his win. At the end, Federer was the victor. The result, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4. now Roger Federer will face Argentine Juan Martin del Potro. Looking forward for the match between FedEx a.ka. Federer and lanky Argentinian, del Potro.
A random blog entry from me at 12.40am in the morning. Return from the worst club event of my life in Manchester. Road House it is. What I have experience before, wasn't the greatest but this was the worst I have been. Music wasn't that bad actually but the atmosphere wasn't there for me and my friends to enjoy. So, we decided, "That's it!" Get out!"
A couple of man asked us about it, "The atmosphere wasn't that great, don't waste your money in there" Wait! wasting money! I have wasted like £2.90 for a bottle of Budweiser. What ever it is. Experience that counts!
Purple People Orientation tutoring starts like in 10 hours. City Bus Tour. 8 people in a team. 3 Buses at one go. New Freshers! Hopefully well-behaved! :)
back to the gloomy, rainy city. where else, but Manchester. Got off from the plane today after a grueling flight. Sitting at the tail-end of the plane and gastric attack.
piccadilly point still the same. messy as usual at the corridor lane as well as the kitchen.
Room sweet room. enlightening the room with groovy music.
What else i need is my full time rest and regular exercise back on track!
3 days an counting. 3 months of summer holidays back home is coming to an end. Packing is normally an uninspiring thing which I would always don't look forward to do but this time, I have nothing as much like last years.
Less shopping and less money spend this year (Recession?)
Can it be the same as last year? I don't see the urge to go back this time but neither do i want to stay back here.
Meeting up with a bunch of friends at Shi Hui's farewell was delightful and fun get together.
Piccadilly Point here I come home!
p/s: Selamat Berpuasa to all my Muslim friends and Happy 51st Merdeka to Malaysia!
Health is wealth. Haven't been feeling well since I came back from Manchester. A good rest is what i need most, just before I step foot on foreign soil again.
What I can say is that time really flies. 3 years since I first step foot on Manchester soil. In less than a week, life as an 'old man' or whatever your wanna call, is gonna begin. YEAR 3!! Yes sudah TIGA TAHUN!! Fuh!! Can't believe!!
There's a few milestone to achieve. I have been in the Malaysian Students' Society of Manchester (MSSM) family for the past 2 years. Joined the 1st time in 2006 as ordinary member, serve as the Webmaster and now outgoing President for the year 2007/2008. 2 more months of service and then I am off duty and focus on my 3rd Year (hopefully not my final year). I had a wonderful time with the MSSM family. Thanking my mentors like Alex D'netto and Vince Chong whom they had guid me through the years in MSSM. Believe me or not, there were blood, sweat and tears were shed during the 2 years service.
I wanna see a change in myself and some of my pals neither back home nor on foreign soil.
The last time I set my foot off the land of Malaysia was on this historic date, 12 September 2006; I felt myself being seperated from my best part of my life and a new life in the foreign land. Now, I am here, realised that I have less than 3 weeks left only to be back home sweet home.
Landed on this foreign land, did not make me a scary-cat person anymore from that day onwards. Being left alone without my computer, only a mobile phone; entertaining myself with nnothing but music, staring into blue sky of the spring season from my window. Thought of staying here alone had strengthen me. Without the help of friends, I might not be standing here firm and strong facing everything. Care for them and appreciation is inevitable.
Reasonable whenever stand up to speak and also be brave. Not only speaking for your own sake, make sure everything blurted from your own mouth doesn't hurt anyone. Mind your language. Bare in mind that, do not beat around the bushes. Go straight to the point. Not everyone knows what are your hidden meaning in your words.
Take things easily and not push yourself into doing something that you think it is not possible. Try your very best. And the results will be taken care of. But remember that DO NOT TAKE THINGS FOR GRANTED!! Never think that you are secured of getting the result you always wanted to but forgetting the perspiration and diligence.
Being out here doesn't look as easy as you think. :)
