vacation to Singapore

Exam's over! Don't know what to do. Still have few more days in Shah Alam before I fly back to KK this Sunday. I haven't packed my things yet. I hate packing! Perhaps I'll start packing tonight as my housemate who will transfer to my room keeps nagging to ask me to pack my things.

Many things to blog about but don't know where to start..

Ok! Let's me start with my vacation to Singapore few days ago. What did it get from the vacation? BROKE and flu! Damn!! It's actually unplanned vacation for me as my family-my mum & sis and my aunt's family has booked ticket since months ago. I didn't book because of the vacation was during exam's week and I don't know when I finished my paper. After the exam's schedule was out and luckily my last paper was the same day as the date they traveled. So I rang up my mom and book flight ticket to Singapore. After checking few airlines-Tiger Airways, MAS, Air Asia, Jet star, Fire fly.. I bought the cheapest fare amongst all.. Can you imagine return ticket from KL to Singapore is ONLY RM95?? Yes! It's damn cheap! Air Asia offers ZERO fare to Singapore. (And now they are giving free seats until 15 Nov to selected destinations. Check Air Asia for more details.) Right after I finished Thermal Engineering paper-last paper of semester 5! My friend, Farah sent me to LCCT. I've online checked-in 48hours before the flight. See how excited I am! no la, I plan to take bus from KL Central to LCCT so I'm worried about I won't manage to arrive to LCCT right on time. So it's safer to check in earlier right. I think online check in is more convenience rather than you have to rush to the air port and queue. You also don't have to worry about time. You just have to be in the air port at least 30 minutes before the boarding time. Back to my story, I arrived to Changi airport at about 6pm and my family who travels from KK was waiting for me for about an hour already! Not much to do on the first day. Except that we discovered around our hotel to search for food court. Jalan-jalan sendiri d tmpt org.. nasib baik xsesat..LOLs..

The next day, we went to Sentosa Island. Since our hotel is located near to a MRT station, so we travel by MRT to everywhere. All of us never been to Singapore before, but you won't be lost if you know how to read direction and ask! An Indian man suggested to buy a ez-link card (it's similar like Touch n' Go). It is more efficient. Just scan your card and you can go to any destination by MRT. But here in KL, there were still long queue to buy tickets either for KTM or Monorail. Sentosa Island is nice place, but some places are still developing. Roller coaster is still under construction. Luge & sky ride was awesome! From the Tiger sky tower, whole Sentosa Island can be seen. We also went to the dolphin show and underwater world. The dolphins were so cute! Then, we met my mum's former classmate aunt Helen and brought us to China Town. Thanks for the treat aunty! =)

Then, the following day, Singapore zoo was our destination. Inuka the polar bear is cute! Like I wanna hug it.. LOLs! He was the first polar bear born in Singapore. Do you know what the color of a polar bear's skin is? Surprisingly, It's black! And the thick dense fur is white as snow. There were many more animals in the zoo but Inuka caught my attention. That was the first time I saw a polar bear! Haha.. after the zoo visit, we went to Orchad Road. The next day, after Sunday mass(I have no idea how my aunty can find the church) we went shopping at Bugis Junction. My sis bought 3 GUESS bags there! Crazy.. (hope she give me one of it) *evil laugh* On the evening, we planned to go to the Merlion City to watch the sunset but we couldn't find the way so we decided to go to Orchad Road AGAIN. Orchad Road is already in Christmas spirit. Nice decoration along the way with Christmas songs everywhere. (jingle bell..Jingle bell.. Jingle all the way)*Christmas mood* HoHo..

If you're looking for perfumes, go to Lucky Plaza. It's opposite to the IOI mall. I bought a Ralph Laurent perfume which cost me $78 (convert to RM = times 2.5. you do the math!) I went to SASA yesterday, the selling price is about RM250+ *wink!* Before flying back to KL (me) and KK(the rest of them) we sempat went to Bugis Junction again before going back! Tidak puas2 shopping!! I <3 Singapore.. I like the cleanliness of the cities.. looking forward for my next trip to Singapore but still dunno when.. hihi..

here are several pictures at Singapore.. more pics on FB.

weekend activities..

Since 31 August was a public holiday for Malaysia 52th Merdeka, not Malaysia actually, its MALAYA! So we had a long weekend (3 days off!). These are some activities that we had done during our long weekend.

Saturday

All of my housemates (except for Tina) + 2 of my housemates’ friends(Alvin & Charles) went to Bukit Cerakah for cycling. It was kinda tiring even though we only cycle for about 2 hours+. The entrance fee to Bukit Cerakah is RM3 for adults, and you can rent the bicycle price ranging from RM3 – RM5 for an hour and additional RM1 per hour. We were separated into 2 group as x muat keta. So, Pet, Belle,Alvin & Charles were in the same car. We didn't wait for them because takut x puas cycling cuz the park gonna close in few hours time.

rehat2 dlu!

ayo! tali putus tgh jln.. =(


oit! curi mangga!!

Actually we want to go to the four season house, but we lost the direction. Too excited till didn’t see the map. So we end up going to ‘Dusun Buah-Buahan’ and Cactus garden only. but the other group went there. unforturnately, the four season house was closed. After tired cycling, we went to Asia Cafe, Subang for dinner.. =)

Almost all of us never played futsal, suka2 sja mo join. Kasi ramai2 bah! and we got 4th place!! out of 5 teams.. hehe.. ok la dpt kasi kalah 1 team kan.. =)

Merdeka day which falls on Monday was our rest day after 2 extreme days.. smua sakit badan gara-gara x fit.. hihi.. and Jaja got injured during warm up before tournament.. blum lg tournament injured sudah.. isk3..

internship..

Whoa! Its like almost 6 months since I last update my blog.. super duper busy right now with hectic schedule and tons of assignments + lab reports. Suddenly the blogging spirit comes after reading my friends' blog. *wink*

Too many things to be updated but too little time.. will try to update when I have time.. =)

I'll be going for my internship a.k.a industrial training for 15 weeks starting end of December. I've send my application letters to few of the company around KK last Friday but no news yet. There's a FB friend (can be trusted ka ah?) who is a pilot and engineer at the same time told me that he had discuss with his partner according to this matter and they agreed to give me the opportunity to do my internship in their company. He told me that he'll pay allowance (not salary ah!) 1K for practical. OMG! 1K..? $_$ Moreover, their office is strategic which located few minutes drive from home. Few weeks back, he called me asking about the internship and asked me some questions.
1. Why do you like mechanical engineering?
- erm.. I also don't know.. I apply for it and I get it. I have no choice so I just took it! SILLY answer!
2. Do you know about plastic casting?
- owh, yg itu. yg macam sand casting smua tu kan..? erm.. sa baru blajar psl manufacturing, blum sampai chapter tu. Again, you stupid moron! how suppose you answer like that?

By just answering these 2 simple questions like that, I think my chance to get the place is only 20%. But if I get it, I have to think longgggg to accept it. I know how my performance is. No working experience in mechanical engineering field. Who would pay you that much for nothing? I mean, the task given must be tough! (That’s just my speculation, ok!)

The moment he called, I just woke up from nap. Still blur! And he asked me again, what year are you in now? -2^nd year. Which semester?- 5^th semester. 5^th semester? That’s 3^rd year already! My gowd! What happed to you, Majoree?? If I were the person who called me; I wouldn’t accept anyone like that to do practical in my company. So, how about me? I don’t put high hope to get it since I’ve answer his questions like that. Stupid me!!! I also had sent my application letter to a piping company. It’s kinda big company as it make pipe for petroleum and has connection with Petronas. I’m kinda interested but its too far; located at KKIP. Other than that, a friend of mine also recommended her company; an engineering consultant company. Ok juga kalau di sana. Shah Alam has many industries but I have no transportation, so I decided to do my internship at KK. Hope I’ll get respond cpt2.. mls mo fikir psl internship lg.

~anyone knows any industry (kilang2/oil & gas/engineering consultant/ automotive) around KK?

Next post : last weekend’s activities..

In loving memory..

IN LOVING MEMORY OF

GERALD MUIS

1^st May 1955 – 9^th April 1998

It's been 11 years since my late dad left us. It quiet a long times but the memories are still lingers on my mind. Even though I only spent 10 years with him ( HE passed away when I was 10!) I learnt so many things from him. HE was an amazing guy. HE was a good leader. HE was a good chef. HE was GREATEST man on earth!! I'm glad to have HIM as my father..

It's true when people said, good/kind people will 'meet' GOD earlier. HE was just 43 year old when HE passed away. HE got stoke because of high blood pressure.. I still remember; we were at our shop (Ben Ben Textile) that time when HE complained HIS back head was in pain and dizzy. Then my mum brought HIM to clinic but HE refused as HE said HE's okay. So HE decided to go home and get a rest. When we reached home, HE hardly can talk. Then my mum brought HIM to clinic then HE was admitted. HE was comma and admitted in the hospital for only 3 days. I'm regret that I'm not there to be with HIM till his last breath.

I was much closed to my dad because of maybe I looked more like my dad. People used to say that I'm the photocopy of my DAD. I'm not sure which part of my face looked like my dad. *confused* I used to follow HIM when ever HE went to. Still remember I followed HIM to Lok Kawi beach I guess. There were huge wave; I stood with HIM at the sea side when the huge wave came across us. I turned 360° and luckily I leg touched the ground. HE panicked because I was lost from HIS sight for few seconds.haha.. Thank God I didn't drown. *palis-palis*…

I really2 Miss you DAD.. I believe that you have Your special place there in heaven. May His soul rest in peace. AMEN..!

 

 

 

p.s : have so many things to write but I'm way too busy. Let it be just my memories..

Towards the end of the semester..

I hate it when it comes towards the end of the semester!! Every projects, assignments due date will fall on the 2 last weeks before the study week. I have few projects to present and submit the report. Luckily, today was my last lab session but still have to do the report. I hate doing lab report! I totally have no idea but since I get a soft copy for all of the reports from senior that made my job easier.. *devil laugh*

There are still lots more projects waiting for me. I have a CAD mini project which has to be submitted next Tuesday and my group hasn't start anything yet! My group member always said ' sikit lagi nak start..' peh! We even still haven't decided what product to do.. can we finish it in less than 1 week? I don't think so with this crazy busy week but I hope so, somebody had volunteered himself to do the CATIA drawing part. Other than the CAD mini project, I also have BEL report writing project which has to submitted and present next Thursday but we're half way through it and my group members cooperate well! Then, I also have Japanese sketch. I still have no group yet and the sketch has to be presented 2 weeks+ from now. We have to do the sketch and record it then present it to sensei. These are only the projects *gasping for air* I haven't mention about the tests! I haven't sit for test 2 for few subjects and I think test 2 will be held between this 2 weeks before the study week.. test 2 for CAD theory will be held next Tuesday. My brain nowadays can't process reading subject. I mean the 'menghafal' thingy..

My exam is just around the corner and I haven't start my revision yet. Too busy with the last minutes works. I'm left far behind, there so many things to catch up on my studies. I hope I can struggle and get a better results. No more repeat paper!*finger crossed* My exam starts on 21^st April for CTU, ethnic relation. Followed by Power on the 30^th April which mean I have enough time to study for this subject and Microprocessor on 2^nd May, 2 days after my previous paper. Lastly, Fluid II which fall on the last day of exam; 10^th May. I know I still have plenty of time to gear up and concentrate only for this subject, but do you still have the 'excitement' to study when you see everybody has finished their exam?? That's only the draft of the schedule. I hope they'll change the schedule. I'm planning to go to Penang IF I finished my exam earlier as I had bought my air ticket last year! Punya semangat beli awal2.. padahal byk lg promotions. My cousin is working at Penang and he willing to bring us jalan2 if we go there. hehe.. since I'm here in penisular, why don't take the opportunity to go Cuti-cuti Malaysia right! ~

*yawn*

I'm waiting for the email from my BEL member to proceed my part for the report. I'm doing the final part- conclusion etc.. I don't know why I haven't receive the email is. Even send via YM also 'A problem occurred while transferring the file "xxx.doc". The transfer has been stopped.'

~few moment later~

I've receive the email and I have to do it now as much as I can since my brain still working. Partially working! If I'm sleepy, my brain would not function well and I rather sleep than continuing doing my work.

ok then, good night everyone! Have a good rest, while me still struggling to accomplish my work..

p/s: oh yeah, today is Samantha Tam's birthday! Happy 21^st birthday SAMe! May God bless!! ^_^

Korean exchange students program..

Last Thursday, my English (BEL) lecturer set up a meeting with the Korean students. Before this, we had been writing to them for a month. My lecturer is our 'postwoman'.. haha..In every class, she'll bring letters and ask us to reply to our Korean pal. We had the opportunity to meet them before they go back to their home town. They supposed to go back tonight(Friday), I think when I wrote this, they were already on board.

There were about 25 of them who came from 2 different universities at South Korea, but I don't remember the name of their Uni. They came to UiTM for a month just to learn English. Wah! So nice, learn English in Malaysia.. From the way my pal wrote the letter that I received, his English is not bad. I want to learn Nihon-go at Japan can ka? Hehe.. Currently, I'm learning Japanese language (Nihon-go) but it's kinda hard especially the grammar.

Ok, back to my story.. We gathered at the computer lab of Akademi Pusat Bahasa (APB) at around 10.30 am. All of us were so excited as we still don't know to which person we wrote for the 1 month. So, the first Korean came forward and introduce himself.. 'hi.. my name is… and I want to meet my Malaysian friend, Majoree!' yeah, me!! I didn't wait so long to meet my Korean pal. My other friends were anxiously waiting for their turn.. We had our lunch after all of them introduced themselves. My friend, Hafiz so disappointed when his Korean friend couldn't come because she had fever. He had brought a special gift for her.. Oya, I gave my Korean friend a coin box with 50 cent inside and a bookmark. I totally had no idea what to give him and he gave a TOBLERONE!! =)

Let me introduce to you my Korean boyfriend.. haha.. boyfriend? Yeah, we called a male friend boyfriend right?? The special 'Boyfriend' is a different story laa! =p

He is Bang Sung Min also known as Denis. A forest environment resources senior-year student from South Korea. We had a little conversation as he not the talkative type of person so do I. so we just talked about general topic. He is a free thinker, that's mean no religion and he said that some of his friends are a free thinker. I was a little shocked as I never heard about it. A free thinker? Owh, ok! His English is good but sometimes he don't understand what I'm trying to ask him because my English also not that good. After the meeting, I followed few of my friends with their newly meet Korean friends to nearby café to have a drink. I like to listen to their language, it's like erm.. something like spiritual? I don't know how to explain but I like to listen the way they talk. I wish I could learn they language..hehe..

Here are some of the pictures.. enjoy..! =)
