p/s: for the sake to reach 100th post... this entry is bored.. haha...

- CUTSE 2007: First Day -

Curtin University of Technology of Sarawak Engineering Conference (CUTSE) 2007 is back again. This time, i'm not the audiences in the crowd no more. I'm one of the presenter in Chemical Engineering Stream. It's a proud and honor moment to present our research paper for everyone to listen and those junior that are gonna gain experienced from this conference.

At early as 730 am already we reach the Harry Perkins Lecture Hall Foyer to register ourselves. Everyone looks smart today as they all wear professionally to present. As for some student, happily jumping high as some of them already presented their paper and some of my classmates presented their poster presentation.


This year, there's about 130 Students from Curtin, inclusive University such as Monash, USM, UTP and some other university in Malaysia will come and witness the presentation as well as joining the presentation. For me, i haven finish my slide for the presentation for second day. Hopefully by tonight i'll finish the slides. Anyway, it's scary how u need to warm up first before you presenting the next day. Seeing people being asked questions by some of the keynote and industrial speakers, i was like.... mmmmm ok.... that's interesting. I hope i can answer those question the next day.


For more information, visit the website at http://www.curtin.edu.my/cutse2007/.... More photos coming up tomorrow.

Cheerz~!!!

- Last Ride -

Oh, and did i mention that it's my last ride 2 days ago to Lutong with the bicycle i had. I sold it off already.... It's a good experience... hope i don't see that bike again. Haha...


Yeah this is my longest ride to Pulau Melayu to see the sunset.. Believe it or not.. haha..

Cheerz~!!!

- Chronology of my Study life at the end of Semester -

OMG!!!!!! Lots of peeps say that when i finish my exam on Wednesday, 3 days ago to be precise. I'm not sure what to feel or what to say also. Mix feeling to be precise. Part of me can't wait to get out of here and Part of me will miss all the good time here..... especially final exam for ever semester........ -.-'''''' YEAH RIGHT!!!! haha..... Well, it's the time to say goodbye again. End of the year is here and Holiday seasons is just getting started. Rehearsal for Christmas caroling is started one month before Christmas already... not really, before my exam finish already peeps say that they are rehearsing for it.

A cup of Ying Yang makes my day...

Anyway, it's been a great semester and lots of unexpected stuffs happened which is why I LIKE!!!! It's not that i'm not being able to arrange my time properly, it's just that i want to do stuffs that most peeps cant do at this time around. Getting busy all the time. First of all is the Prom Night. Sorry guys. Can't post any of the pix yet.. will be a surprise for the 100th Post later and second of all. it's Melissa's Birthday.

Melissa's Birthday Card design by Pau Choon Hock, assisted by Me... Haha...

I remember that the first time when she was here, it was the most enjoyable time for me. Saying enjoyable means that i had my 50% test the next day of my year. Extreme i would say but i enjoyed it very much. Aside from Splashing each other with water, wet everyone, and face full of icing, with icing become hair shampoo (yiks) to well, it's i remember its raining that night also. We went back home only at around 2 or 3 am. Can't remember. This year, it was kind of like a mature type of Melissa celebrating his birthday. Congratulations Miss President of Student Council 2008. Good luck and do take care of the students welfare wor.. hahah...

Make a Wish: "I wish i can be fat and one day and Jackson will behave himself..... hmmm but i only can make one wish..... so, ummm here goes nothing."

Besides, most of the time i spend without studying kind of situation. Not true actually. Cause half of the semester i spend camping in the uni lab to do my design project. Aside from that, it's research project and other units taken as well. Site visit to SMDS in Bintulu is memorable and we learn lotsa things about the Middle Distillate Synthesis Plant in Shell, especially we get to see the life size of the Air Separation Unit (ASU) which is part of our design project as well. Thanks to those Shell employees for the explanation from A to Z of the plant. Thanks to our lecturer Dr. Veena Doshi. She's such a wonderful lecturer.

Plant Visit to Shell Middle Distillate Synthesis (SMDS) in Bintulu. Can u find me???

I got my hair cut before the final exam also and i spend half of my time studying in Coffee Bean as mention in previous blog. Kinda ironic how i end up in CB all the time. Course i can't study at home. That's why. Apart from the whole semester didn't get to fix my fluorescent light in my room, movies and serious are temptation for me. WAH!!!!! Lots of time for me to watch those series now.

Coffee Bean In Miri

Exams finish!!!! YAY!!!! My last last last exam of my study life. Can't wait to go out and expose myself more now. Erm.. not the other way around. Go find work la.. what do you think i'm implying?? Christmas Tree was set up in Bintang weeks ago and Christmas songs starts playing everywhere and it's Anne's Birthday on 14 of November.

Christmas Tree in Front of Bintang

Like wise, I will miss all those regular food that ate previously. Cant' name all cause i don't have any random pictures to show. I'm a camera fanatic. Everywhere i go, i have to take pictures. peeps was saying all the time, "sai mmm sai kam ooo"... Haha.. i don't care what peeps think of me.

Darn... lots of peeps birthday in November.. I pok already la...

Curry Fish head, located somewhere behind Lou Wai Lou, previously known as Pujut Seafood. The food in HALO Cafe is not that bad also. Drinks are kinda expensive while the environment is conducive with songs and peeps to look at.. haha... Am gonna miss the Full moon toast in Uni also. My regular in my foundation and first year until second year, i venture into something great.. Great food not only limited to these. Cheesecakes in Coffee Bean i already ate all and erm.. i wanna try something new now.. especially cheesecake and stuffs.

Coffee Bean Cheesecakes - Choco Swirl, Brownies and Oreo...

My All time favorite Full Moon Toast

This is what i looked like when i was having my exams on the second day....

Does it looks like me???

And this is what Edward looks like when he was in the mood of playing a rapper role...

Yo Yo... Dude, wad'cha looking at???

Ok not this pix.. can't find any but the pig looks angry for some reasons. I started to pack right after my exams. Seriously, until now, more than 10 boxes to bring back.. WTH!!!!! i don't know how am i gonna pack the rest of the stuffs. and this is what my room looks like before packing...


And this too...


After all my furniture has been sold. i have no choice but to stack my monitor on the box and online for couple of days before i'm leaving Miri next week... Yesterday evening was my last ride to Lutong using my bicycle which i've sold off last night as well. everything goes last night at cheap price. No more.. sob sob...

Finally, after all these days, the sun shine brightly in the sky, evening sky

Well, i'm trying my best to make my post till 100th before i go back to Kuching.. Can i do that?? I think i can.. Anyway, all the best to all my friends in their CUTSE 2007 presentation on Monday as well as their poster presentation till then, more picture coming up....

Cheerz~!!!!

- 1Down, 2ToGo, 4DaysTillEF, LessThan2WeeksBK -

Currently i'm studying in somewhere that i don't think anyone would approved me doing it. I like. But i can't concentrate anyway. Exam has been ok and everything went well, i hope. time flies and less than two weeks time i'll be balik kampung for good.

I need a strong Caffeine now basically.. No no... Espresso maybe. Caffe Latte won;t make me stay awake for long now. I'm still focusing on my lecture notes... No no... I'm currently updating my blog in Coffee bean and it's loud here. Sounds amplified from left and from right. Either way, Ambrose is sitting at the sofa for quite sometime now until i start meeboing juz now.

Oooo.. guess what, though exam is still on, i don't see why anyone of us would still come out here and enjoy a cup of coffee at night, chatting causally and making some sort of jokes that could even amplified the whole area here. Some of my friends have finished their exams and some are already back to their hometown. Nop... not really having the mood to stay in Miri for long. 3 months holiday is not a good time to kill unless u find some part time to make use of the time slot. The Spring is opening soon in Kuching. No doubt Kuchinians won't be going anywhere beginning of next year. Christmas is more or less 35 days away..... Good luck in all of your final exams and Final battle is just hours ahead.

- Counting the days -

It started to drizzle again,
heavier this time.

I remember before the crock crew this morning,
the first drizzle was the war between cats and dogs.

It's 7 am in the morning,
I woke up the third time.

It's 730am,
Fourth time couldn't be better than the third.

Coulson and Richardson was at page 648 for a long time now,
I couldn't focus on the importance of this page.

I was once lost but was found,
I was once dead but resurrected by an inconvenient truth.

It was the hardest way to live this life,
By now, i have lost the will to live.

Listening to the drizzle is a pathetic way of thinking,
about things u can't let go in the past.

Holidays season approaching,
moodless is the word that would be the last word in New Year's Eve.

Drizzling sound often makes u wonder how wonderful God's creation,
But not today.

Counting the days from now,
30th November approaching.

It's the day i least want to go through,
and i wish upon the shooting star to make November 29 days.

Sometimes, it's better to close out mind and focus on something else,
It's best i can do that but i can't.

The days you were here and the days you weren't here,
is beyond our expectations.

Details, Distance, Drizzle and Dare.
All the D's are practically impossible to ask for.

One year have pass....
let our ways be separated for good.

November 7th, 2007
