one step closer

Final week of lectures means the final week for my undergraduate lectures!!!! Oh my... what a time to end it and how fast can you imagine. This also means EXAM IS VERY NEAR!

First stop, 21st May - Variable Speed Drives. Then, 26th May - Control Systems II. Thirdly, 3rd June - Sensors and Instrumentation and FINALLY, on the 9th June - Tools and Techniques for Enterprise. WOOOOOHOOOO!!!

BUT!

NOTHING IS DONE ON REVISION!!!!!!!!


:(



Another thing which is coming to an end, the English Premier League and the Champions League. Usual suspect, Manchester United is on course to retaining both titles in coming weeks.

The Premier League trophy

The Champions League trophy

Can we do it again? YES WE CAN!

CAN I DO IT? I DON'T KNOW! :(

Wishing everyone the best of luck!!

Look, who's going to Rome!

OOh yeah! Well done, United! Bravo for making it thru to the Finals in Rome again, but not against Chelsea (last year) but Barcelona (nemesis of the last year's semi-final). Gave Arsenal a thrashing of 3-0 ( 4-0 on aggregate). Look who's coming Pep!

Anyways, I will be going to Rome as well as my 1st destination after exams. The list of places is virtually (maybe realistically) infinite. Sorry to all readers for not updating much.

Jailed for assignments, final year project, and EXAMS! The sentence was harsh but forgiven.

Knowing that time really flies if you don't appreciate every single second, I was able to carve out some time for tennis over the last week (not this week). Decided to make a deal with my dad for a new racket (for me Birthday) Hehe.. At last, I have got one through the web. (Milletsports.co.uk). View below for the full snapshot of the racket.

Pretty much of what I have done the last few weeks. Revised deadlines as follows:
1)Viva Voce (Project Presentation) - 8 May 2009
2) Final year project report - 14 May 2009

I need the luck, all the perseverance I had put in should be included into the equation!! (Hopeful)

everything must come to an end

Easter holiday is coming to an end in 4 days time. Malaysian Night is just 3 days away. I felt that I have just finish producing the Malaysian Night with the rest like just a couple of days ago. You know what, I think I am laging behind time. Time is catching up! My god.. can it be slowed down?

Exam time table is out as well. Prefer this time table than the last one. Starts on the 21st May and ends on the 9th June. Each paper per week. 4 papers. BUT nothing is ready!!!!

*Screaming out*!

what about today

Easter holiday is coming to end precisely in a week. Time do really flies. What have I done?

1) almost 60% of project work
2) none of the 2 coursework
3) gym (almost constantly)
4) Study and revise (a little skeptical about it)
5)

See, I don't even know what I have done. Nothing much instead of slacking around the clock.

P/s: purpose of this post: meet up the quota of post per month

No.6

Have you ever thought you would see all of them succeed in your lifetime? Some had ups and downs in their career. Some might not be able to reach the peak of their career or some might just be an average person throughout.

A couple of days ago, our 5th Prime Minister, Tun Abdullah Badawi had stepped aside to make way for the always-expected, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak (son of the 2nd Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak). Congratulation to the man and kudos to Tun Abdullah for his civil service to the people of Malaysia since the 70s.

Ever wonder, the likes of Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Abdul Razak, Tun Hussein Onn and Tun Dr. Mahathir would emerge again in the future. There you go, we have one now, who is in the mold of his very own father. Datuk Seri Najib has never thought that he would take over as the leader of the country. But I would always thought otherwise. Being the son of the ex-PM, why would not he thought so? Watch the future, the cycle has repeat itself. Tun Abdul Razak son is now starting the cycle. What about the likes of Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Tun Hussein? Mukhriz Tun Mahathir?

Tun Abdul Razak was the Father of Development. Najib? Father of Development 2? Get ready Malaysia. We could witness the new development of Malaysia towards achieving Vision 2020. Malaysia - A Developed Country. I came across on Wikipedia on one fine day. I found out that Malaysia is bidding to host the 2020 Olympic Games. Can we do it, Najib? The country is counting on you to get the bid.

Negative reactions on the current government has been looming for over a year since the 2008 general election. Malaysia is a land of full potential. We want to see it prosper to its highest level which benefits everyone in Malaysia. Datuk Seri Najib has got a lot to do once stepping into Putrajaya on the Monday morning. Drafting plans for the future of everyone in Malaysia. We are counting on you, Mr PM! We want to see the anticipated change to the current government.

Congratulation again to Datuk Seri Najib on his appointed as the new Premier of Malaysia!

something new

ah! My previous post was to channel my anger to.

Anyway, I have found something new to do!

TENNIS

Why haven't my dad taught me tennis since young. I find it much more fun now! I missed out a lot on what I could do when I was young. I could have been playing tennis every day with my dad. But now, this what I am picking up from scratch (I guess, it's still not too late).

Played a couple of times in Sportcity Manchester, getting hold on the racket, movement, etc etc.. It's hard though as I played badminton my whole life. wrist movement is wrong in tennis. Swing your arms! Oh my, that's got to be tough for a amateur like me. Very well, it's not too old to do something new!

Can I be like him?

Haha, thats a joke! Nah, I would be satisfied if I could play a decent tennis game.

too much

Oh gosh.. its already the 3rd month of the year!!

it's all about too much!!!

too much of work
too much to think about
too much of food
too much of cabs
too much of stupid things
too much of crazy things
too much of books
too much of words
too much of papers
too much of shit!

and it is always because of TOO LITTLE TIME!!!!!!!!

Things Just Fallin' Off

This morning as I was buttoning my shirt, a button fell off. After that, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle fell off. Then I went to open the door, and the doorknob fell off. I went to get into my car, and the door handle came off in my hand. Now I'm afraid to pee.

I knew that..

1) it is harder than I thought

2) love is not L-O-V-E

3) hardwork really pays off

4) there's no short cut to success

5) simple logic is everything

6) time really flies

7) looking forward is better than looking at past success

8) procrastinating is a form of DEATH

10) it will eventually come!

Charity Drive

Be bold and do good!

"Shave bald and do good!"

What do you think folks? Going bald for a few months for the sake of the hardship of many (e.g. Cancer-stricken patients, HIV-infected children, poor kids etc etc). Do aware of their existence?

Will you do something to help them? 

Will you be the one? Will you stand up for them? Will you get your friends to help?

Think about it! Get it done! Come out and help!

P/s: Dear readers, I've got this idea from the top of my head on one fine day. I am hoping to get it done on one fine day.

Little Johnny... Stand up

A new teacher tries to make use of her psychology courses. The first day of class, she starts by saying, "Everyone who thinks they're stupid, stand up!"

After a few seconds, Little Johnny stands up. The teacher asks, "Do you think you're stupid, Johnny?"

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself."

Amazing

tiny thoughts

Week 1 and counting. Things are moving as fast as the stocks drop from the peak value a year ago. Speaking of the terrible economy in the world and political chaos back home, I don't foresee any fast forward to the new chapter of rejuvenated world.

Months of speculation of where my future lies, I come to a decision to stay back in Manchester to continue a post-graduate studies in the business field. However, I am still skeptical about the whole structure of the business studies. Having getting views from friends and acquaintances, they might have the impact on the decisions made as much as I thought. A wise man yesterday said that whatever you have decided, don't look back and look towards the future. "Your father had high hopes on you. Don't disappoint him too much!" he said. I would sometimes consider him an "advising father" to me over here.

"Nothing comes without EFFORT"

Till then.

mid-morning post

Greetings to all readers. 1st post of the year 2009. Barely 20 days into the 1st month, I am already struggling with my exams. Not a good start for the year. Adding to the 'misfortune', Chinese New Year falls on mid-way towards the end of my 1st semester exams. What a occasion to usher in the new year of Ox. How horrific can it be.

Exams start on the 22nd January to be precise. Ends on the 5th day of CNY. Well, can it be that long more? Reminisces the moment of celebrating my 1st CNY away from home in 2007 and 2008. This would be one of the year which it is 'fortunately' fall on CNY week. I can go on complaining and whining like a pig and things won't change.

Things to change for this new year of 2009! Read the next blog entry to know what are the (new) resolutions up and running for the next 11 months.

TROFFE!!

long gone but not forgotten

hi to all readers, i appologize for my ignorance and lazy-ass behaviour of not updating my 'beloved' blog. I may have hate it or lose the love for my blog. Hmmm.. Can it be a relapse of emotional state? Anyway, it was a busy month of october and november. From busy schedule of lectures to MSSM duty, i really dont know where did my time have gone to. whether it is my nature or its fate, i had jump from trouble to another. Since stepping aside from duty of MSSM, I thought I was done. But it never left me. UKEC is the name.

Did a bit of traveling during winter break. Dublin was the first stop then Belfast. Back in Manchester for a day and off to Scotland the next day. Let the road trip begin!

p/s:sorry vincent!

Isle of Skye was the first on the list. Saucy Mary? Well, it will be explained later. Next stop, Inverness. The famous monster in Lochness (pity, she was not spotted). Last but not least, Edinburgh! An amazing city with lights of the city was flashing the night life!

Exams are on the way! 22nd January till the 30th January 2009. Preparation wasn't going at the right pace! Interviews crop out in between of preparations. (Fingers cross!)

This my brief update on me for the year 2008 end to the beginning of 2009!

Happy belated new year! and Do come back for more this end of the month!

Good luck to all for exams!
