Amen?

While I was preparing to go for work this morning. Notice how the colours of the dawn blend together? And how the tail of a rocket reacts with the background? Such a beautiful scene.
There are no days that are similar to another one, each day is special in their own way.
Same like human beings, we only have one life, and then we're gone. Gone to a place that no one has ever lived to tell. Those dreams that you think you will not achieve, those crazy thoughts that you think you will never dare to do, why wait?

I hope I can be as brave as I blogged, and make the first step.
Life has too much uncertainties, we don't always have tomorrow.
Things that you feel like doing, or say to that special someone, do it, or speak out, and have no regrets.
Clear your to do list! Do something memorable! Leave something beautiful on this world!


God is amazing. x

Gorgeous isn't it?! I've always wanted to perm my hair, but I doubt it'll go well with my thick framed specs..

Oh and hi! Its a lazy Saturday evening now. Not sure what I wanna do so I blogged!
Was having difficulty to wake up for work this morning and made a mental note to take a nap after work. But I'm too full to sleep now. Reason? Sis came to fetch me right after work and off we went.......to Jusco McD for their Chicken Foldovers! Haha. She was telling me how yummy it is after she tasted a bite of her colleague's yesterday, and there we were at the McDonald's today, for its foldovers! hahaha.
And yeah it was indeed surprisingly yummy! What's nicer than combining 2 patties of steamed chicken breast meat with fresh cabbage, tomato, raw union(that's the best part :P ) and some mayonnaise inside a chapati-like piece of bread?! Tasted like yummy sandwich. :9

Okay enough of advertising! Hmm. Life's good for the time being, work is okay. Thanks to the 3 new trainees, now I look forward to lunch time everyday! Cause that's the only time you can really chat. I can't bear a day without talking, I'll explode! And the previous lunch companions, they were too silent. :S Maybe engineers are like that, they don't really chat much over meals. Plus they eat super fast, after everybody has finished their meals, they will go back right away. Its like they all went out just to fill their stomach, not socializing or chatting. Worse is the only girl in the group was the most silent one O_O maybe she's shy, but I dare not make the first move. So the result is, I never talked to her although I've been going out with them for lunch for about 3 weeks..

This work life is actually very beneficial and has achieved its purpose of exposing us undergraduates to real working environment. Frankly speaking, I've gained a lot of practical knowledge which I will never get in lecture classes. And I do consider myself lucky to get to join a decent company for training, although cranes are not my favorite structure, it is good to learn the work flow of a manufacturing company.

Here are some pictures of my workshop in case you're curious!

The colour of helmet indicates your status. White is foreman or engineer, while orange is labour.

 Colorful cabins where the operator of crane sits.

 Giant winch, where they pull and release the crane ropes for hoisting purpose.

The workshop is actually a quite dangerous place. During briefing, we were warned to constantly beware of our immediate 3D environment. Not just in front, sides and back, but also on top of your head. Cause suddenly you'll see some few kgs of metals flying above you. Luckily we work at the office, if its not necessary we won't be hanging at the workshop that often lol -_-''

I'm kinda used to this life now, this is the end of the 7th week in my company. Time flies huh. My lecturer will pay me a visit next Friday to check my performance and evaluation from my supervisor. I still miss Melaka though. The food, the outings, the people.. everything. Will enjoy my last two sems in Melaka after my internship! And for the time being, work work work!
The stressful mentor is returning from the Philippines next week, and I am to expect larger workload! Hope after all these experiences I won't let him down! Fighting fighting!

That's all for this post! I've decided to take a really quick nap. Work always leave me worn out without fail. Not sure why am I so tired though cause all I did was office work.. Nitey! <3

Life depends on how a person interprets it. Give your best, be firm on what you like, and you won't have anything to regret.
"A person needs to stand firm, the only problem is where you plant your feet."
Adieus!

 Getting to know the world, one step at a time.

Hey there!

So.... Third week of my internship is finally over! At first it seems like time crawls at a snail's pace, but now that I'm starting to get used to working life and also the environment and getting to know the people there deeper, well, I kinda wish time would pass slower! Hehe. I can foresee that I will be missing this chapter of my life pretty bad! ^^

My social awkward period is finally over (I guess and hope so haha) and no longer have to endure silent lunches! I'm starting to be able to grasp the characteristics of each and everyone of em, so that I can know when they prefer to be silent and when they're talkative, and which topic suits which person. Oh and talking about silent lunches, its at least way better than having lunch alone! I never dare to try having lunch alone outside, cos it feels so awkward sitting alone and munching your food. Lets say today's vegetable is exceptionally fresher, or the meat taste yummier, there's no one to tell! I would feel so pathetic and would rather just take away and eat it at home in front of my computer screen instead. It would be much comfortable! But there's always the first time, particularly during internship where you part with all your friends into a totally different and strange society. 

That was the first week of my internship. Some of my fixed lunch companions have trainings, some busy, and  I'm not sure where are the remaining people as they normally gather at the lobby, and I see none. I chose to go have lunch myself as they probably also went other places for makan. Lucky I brought my own car, else I would be starving! And having lunch alone...I opted.......

Yup McD! Lol. Well I know, maybe for some people out there, having lunch alone is a norm since not everyone's gonna stick around in workplace, unlike in university or high school where you always eat with bunch of people and chat over meals! I know, its perfectly fine to have lunch alone. But I couldn't really get over myself, even McD also failed to register any taste to my brain! Haha. Eating alone is miserable! And from that onwards, I started to bring snacks, biscuits and tea to my office, just in case! ;)

First and second week were very boring, so I used to doodle on the unwanted papers to pass my time. Seriously have nothing to do besides reading training modules that the company had prepared for new comers. Imagine you have to read stuff off the computer screen for 3/4 hours straight! That is super boring! And you know, I could never stand boredom, I  even sleep at Sunday sermons! I don't mean to say the sermons are boring, but when you have to listen intently to a speaker in front on an early morning for an hour, with nothing to do, yeah that challenges my limit lol. Extreme sleepiness will overwhelm me and you'll see me nodding through the prayers. I can get sleepy really easy! Til I suspect that I have some kind of sickness or high suger levels that make me sleepy! But I seldom sleep during lectures, maybe its the intense silent atmosphere. Hmm. Well neways, I have my solutions to tackle it!

Voila! Sweets and handsfree! I don't really like minty sweets but they're extremely useful to counter sleepiness, so that explains the Halls sweet. :)

Working literally sucks all the life outta you. You wake up, go to work when the sun rises, go home when the sun sets, dinner, rest awhile and its time to sleep. So weekends are vry important! Cant waste a good ol' weekend! So we've kinda into mountain climbing recently! Its fun, allows us to close to the nature and also able to stay in shape, all wrapped in a package! How good is mountain climbing! Alright, done with promoting the sport, so we hiked up to the Indian temple mountain (more like a hill, given its height) located nearby. Its a quite popular climbing spot for the neighbourhood nearby. This hill is kinda a beginner level. Gunung Angsi and Brogah hills are next on our list! Dare not challenge Mount Kinabalu yet lol.

 The hilltop scene. Mountain climbing is so fun! ^_^

'Cept for mountain climbing, we went to explore the gyms nearby too! But was quite disappointed with the gyms in Seremban, some are expensive and their equipments are a lil advanced, focus on muscle building rather than healthy exercise, and others are very affordable but don't even have treadmill! Sigh.

Alright, time for mountain climbing again! Have a great weekend guys, adieus! x

Internship

Hi there!
Well, I've been having my intern for 2 weeks now, tomorrow would be the start of my third week in my company! Working life literally sucked all the life outta you during weekdays! Unless you're really a party animal and able to survive without sleep, and that you can fork out your sleeping time to parteh. Otherwise, you seriously don't have the time (and energy) to play like you used to in college. Hmm that's the price you need to pay when you step out of teenage life and join the work force!

My work starts at 8am, which means I have to wake at 630am if I want to bath lol. Its been long since I have to wake before the sun rises! First week was so tiring for me to adjust, but yeah as time goes I'll have no problem with it for sure! Hehe. Now that school holidays come to an end, I have parents for company! Dad and mom normally wake at 530am to prepare for school hehe. So grateful that I'm able to have my intern here at hometown! When you go to a brand new place, it takes time to adjust (yeah unless you're the type of social people that can simply blend in to any society). The first step was hardest. And the first week was indeed hard for me! I'm super shy type of person, and I won't dare to approach people first.. Therefore, at times I'm quite depressed and have low self esteem cause of the social problems arised at my workplace =( But! When I came home to my cozy home, with parents and sis around me, my worries are all gone and I'm a happy girl again! Can't imagine if I have to have intern elsewhere, have no friends at workplace, and come home with no people to console and accompany me.. how sad is that?

Internship is like an eye opener to us. It allows us undergraduates taste what it's like in future to be a full time employee, to work under boss, sometimes under pressure, and to mingle around with all kinds of people! The society around you is no longer consist of same aged people, they're from all walks of lives, grown ups, different perspective of life and different backgrounds. That's how it'll be like in the real world. I'm seriously glad that I still have 2 sems before I'm officially a proud graduate. I will surely enjoy the remaining time in uni and be with all my favourite buddies before we part! Oh its 10minutes to 11! Time to sleep! Lets hope for the best for the coming weeks! Good night!

Tourist

A pleasant morning, blue expanse of sky donned with one or two thin, floating clouds,
the warm morning sunshine, the songs of happy birds, the embrace of cool welcoming breeze.

Feel like going on a trip, far far away.

Without proper planning, and a small luggage would be enough.

To escape the reality, to a place nobody knows me.

I would be just another foreign tourist with an slr,

who is drawn to even the slightest, tiniest details of this city.

And the mesmerizing different cultures, meeting exciting peoples,

inspiring my mind to the wonders of this earth,

enriching my taste buds by indulging all kinds of food.

Can I? ♥

6h of March

Rumour has it that it is this Tuesday.
It is said to be announced at 8pm. Weird time.
I tried not to put my hopes high, after few lessons i had for the past sems.
I used to be very optimistic while waiting for my results, even hope for some miracles happened that i have better grades when I know I did badly in my tests.
But this time, I only hope to get what I think I deserve. I know how much effort Iv put in for the last exam, and hope the outcome would be satisfactory.
And yesterday, at 8 sharp, the results were released! And I was quite disappointed.
My results were all lower than expectation, It's worser than I thought it would be.

I know I shouldnt complain here, instead, I should learn my lesson and improve.
But let me rant for a post then I'll be just fine to move on.
You see, there are many kinds of people out there:
One, really hardworking, thirst for knowledge, and smart. Strong self discipline, frequently ask lecturer for any doubts. They of coarse, will get really good results.
Second, those who're not really nerds, they're able to put 100% into whatever they're doing. They love outings, they play, but when it comes to exam, they will only study few days before, super concentrate and get the most out of their time spent. They're able to get good results, altho not as good as the first category, but surprisingly enough, seeing their amount of time spent outside of their house.
Third, those who seem hardworking, constantly studying, spent most of their time studying few weeks ago before exams. By exam time, they finished their tutorials neatly, but still frantically flipping through notes and tutorials cause they have no confidence. You'll expect good results from them. But they're just average. Even astonishingly worser than second category. Why? Because they couldn't concentrate, have difficulties in utilizing their time. They are easily distracted, not giving their 100% into what they're studying. They panicked easily,they keep away from all possible distractions like radios, computers. They need to spend double the time studying just to get the same amount of intake as second category.
Well, sadly, I belong to the third category.

I shouldn't take the time spent as my input effort cause its not equal to the amount of knowledge I absorbed. I should change my way of studying so that it suits me, and not to compare with anyone else. It's very unfair when you compare the third category with the second category people. Second category, they spent much lesser time studying and yet they're able to get good results as compared to third category. So don't compare!  Don't care how people look at you, doubting you. They have better brains, their method of study suits them really well, they know what they want, what they capable of. Study is not for a feedback, award or any applause, it is a cause, for your own fulfillment, it is a responsibility, you live on this earth, you'll never stop studying. And when you refuse to study, this means you're decided to be ignorant, decided to reject any knowledge of this earth.

Remember, grades is important, but its not everything. Try your best to achieve good grades, and if you don't, accept the lesson, not ranting about it, not comparing with other people and feeling despair. Try your very best, and you'll have no regrets. Grades are important when you first graduated, and when you're out there working, people will forget about your grades, they only see how you perform. And if you feel grades are important, take it as a lesson. Grades showed how well you transform your effort into performance in exams, it doesn't really have to be proportional. You'll get nothing by comparing. Study well, study smart, be brave to face failure, be braver to stand up and move on to be better. Failure makes you a better person. I can do it :)

a 22 years old's dilemma

I should be proud to be a female.
Female doesn't always have to be the fussy and weaker one. 

Act like a lady, but think like a man. 

Carry a kind heart, but make firm decisions.

Think before I act, and be responsible for the consequences.

Good luck Kristy Chong!
You can do it! :)
