First Few Days of Work

It has been 3 days since i started working in Huawei Technologies. These few days we just prepared for training so just go through some documents. But luckily can get approval for next week 5 days leave which i wanted eagerly as i have a trip to HK aka graduation trip. If cant get it approved then it will b a waste then. So far has been busy first few days. Do not even have time to write long story here..

100th Post

When i wanted to post this message only i realised that i've reached another milestone..total of 100 post..i never thought that i could make it here.. Besides that, when im writing this, im actually shifted everything back to my Shah Alam home and said goodbye to Melaka.. It has been a wonderful 5 years and it seems that time passed by so fast as though it was just yesterday.

On Saturday evening, my dad rented a lorry to help me bring back those big stuffs like fridge, tables and etc. Then today(monday), my parents came down to melaka to help me shift the balance. I cant imagine that i have so many things to shift after the lorry trip and this time also filled the car full of items.

So tmr gonna be a busy day unpacking and arranging everything...

1 more week

Next monday i'll be going back to Shah Alam and this week gonna be a slightly busy week, need to clean up the house and pack all my stuffs to be brought back to Shah Alam. Shifting house has never been nice as i experienced b4 when I shifted from Subang to Shah Alam and from previous apartment to my current house. It's troublesome as there are lots of things u need to throw, clean and pack nicely. Cleaning is a big problem as those spider webs and dust are covering everything that have not been used for long long time its time to sweep it off. So it is time to clean now....

A Quick n Short KL Trip

Today together with my gf and few friends (Driver:Kimfei and Aleng), we went to KL for a quick day trip to run some errands. Both me and kimfei need to go to Huawei to get our offer letters and also sign the pre-employment contract. We left Melaka at 8am as we need to go to Sg Wang to get some stuffs for a friend. When we were at Sg Besi toll plaza, something strange happened where we tried to 'check-out' using the touch'n'go but no response from the system but then lorry behind was honking so we just left as the bar is open. We went through SMART tunnel and realised that the system didnt deduct the toll fare and we earned RM16.50.. So we reached early to Sg Wang and waited for about 1/2 hr for the shop to open and this is the first time that im so early in a shopping complex. Then after that we go to KLCC where Huawei's office is actually located at ETIAQ Twins Building which is just besides KLCC. We waited awhile and got our offer letter signed and went over to KLCC Medical Center to perform a pre-employment body check. Spent some time there and had lunch and waited for both aleng and another fren, zhong then we left for Melaka. There goes my day!!!

One More Month

One more month to go and i am going to finish my degree course but wait....wait...wait... this is where important things start to kick in.. Though just one month but then there are lots of things need to settle.. here is the list:
1) Assignment
2) FYP Presentation
3) Final Examination

So basically, the above 3 is the main priority in this month and heck, that will determine whether i able to grad safely..so to those who having the same agenda as me, good luck and i hope i can safely go through it and pass with flying colours

What a Week!!

It has been a week since i last update my blog..wow..what a long time.. The past week has been a busy one where i have a midterm on wednesday evening, career and entrepreneurship fair, fyp reports and job interview... here is the list of how things went...

7/4/08: Meet my supervisor to discuss about my fyp report and we discussed for about 3 hours, what a record but at least i know what he wants in my report. During the night, we have the final preparation for the career fair which starts on 8/4 until 10/4.

8/4/08: Went over to the career fair early in the morning to meet up with the companies representatives to confirm with them about the interview rooms that they need as im the logistic director and in-charge of those interview rooms. Spent few hours there until the whole opening ceremony ended then i went back home to study for my midterm.

9/4/08: Spent the whole day at home studying for the evening midterm test.

10/4/08: My first full day appearance at the career fair. At least not that tension anymore as both subjects midterm already done and now fully focus on the fyp report and assignments.

11/4/08: Did small part of the report and rest due to the hectic schedule for the past few days. Prepare for Saturday's interview.

12/4/08: Went to KL with 2 friends for Huawei Technologies walk-in interview at the Renaissance Hotel. A new experience for me as this is the first time attending an international company interview. They have 3 levels of interviews in total and i think its really lucky get to reach the final interview so now just need to wait for 2 weeks for them to make their decision.

So this was what happened during the past 6 days...what a day and now im still rushing my report..

Some quick updates

This week as predicted has been a busy week for me..besides that, there are also some problems with my internet connection thus not much updates here.. Today is Friday and im glad that things completed as planned where i was able to finish up my FYP practical part and now move forward to complete the whole report which need to be handed up in less than a month's time... Besides that, next week there is a test awaiting me on Wednesday night and til now yet to fully prepare for it. This weekend gonna visit Sepang for the F1 race and will only be back to Melaka on Sunday evening and straight away gonna go for the Chinese Dance Competition in Pay Fong Secondary School.. So hopefully i'll able to update with some pics from those events.. c ya..

1 Week Mid Term Break

This week is my last mid term break as this is the last trimester that i'll be in this University. Usually breaks are the time where we can get to take a short while off our busy study schedule and visit our parents and friends at hometown. As for now, during this short 7 days, it will be a very very busy week for me. Today just came back from a 3 days holiday at Genting with my girl girl and also few friends. Then tomorrow onwards, i need to work hard to find some details i need to complete my FYP, then on Thursday, I need to meet my supervisor in KL to do some practical for my FYP. Then this weekend, its the Formula 1 Malaysian GP and most probably i'll be there to witness the 10 year anniversary of organising F1 in Sepang. So kinda busy week but i guess its an enjoyable one..

Streamyx

2 weeks back, the internet connection at my place was so poor that all the downloads were running at a total speed of just 20kbps and the browsing speed was as slow as a turtle crawling for a distance of 1meter. Then i decided to make a complain and it has been quite sometime since the last time i did one. This time was on a Friday so i expect them to fix it on Monday since i called quite late but on Saturday morning around 9am, a technician called me and ask me to check whether any improvement on my speed, i was like, wow, they do act immediately to my complain then the problem solved but few days later the same thing happens again. Due to busy schedule so yday only i did another complain, and this time it took them few hours to settle my problem and today they called few times to check with me about the speed and stability. Personally, i found that their service is quite good or mayb im lucky?? Though they implemented those fair usage policy but at least their technical assistant is quick enough to help me solved my problems without asking me to check this and that anymore, so thumbs up for their service at the moment...haha

2 Months

Today's date is 3rd March 2008, and this morning only i realised it is 3rd of March when i need to adjust the date of my watch... y is it big deal???? coz its only 2 months more and im near final examination...oh...
In this 2 months, i need to settle my final year project together with the super thick report, finish up 2 assignments, midterm test and of course prepare for final examination..wow that's lots of stuffs to get done in just 2 months time.. Then to make my mind more stressful is today's tutorial where the tutor which is also the coordinator of the subject told us that we need to work very hard to pass that subject, i was like WTF, the other subject is tough and this seems to be even worst and he even said that we need to read the text book and get other information online in order to answer the questions during finals and besides that, perviously we are used to aim on chapters and drop those difficult ones but this time i dun think so we can do it as he claimed that each questions might come from several chapters..wow.. so i guess from now on neeeeeeed to fullllllly utilise the 2 months else its the end ..haha

Plan

Few more months and I'll be graduating and soon i'll b stepping into the working world. So it is almost time for me to look into the options i have. I guess this is not just me, but my fellow frens who is currently in the final year. Every year, our university will invite some companies to our uni to provide some talks to students to provide them some idea about what they might be looking for and what they should look for after graduation. Currently, there are companies having walk-in interview session in our uni and those who are interested can just drop by with their resume and try their luck. Besides that, this coming April, Student Affairs and Sports Division of MMU will also organise a Career Fair and invite several companies to conduct their walk-in interview here in our university, so my fellow frens, if you plan to get a headstart over others, this is the time for you to do so, get urself ready and talk the opportunity with it comes.

What A Weekend

Even though CNY break has ended but im still stucked at CNY mood, where i promise myself to start doing my stuffs when back from hometown but still spending time playing here and there esp spending time every nite playing cards. So this is the weekend before Chap Goh Mei and guess what, we "worked" our hands and brains from nite until early in the morning, even more hardworking that i was doing my ITP.
During those hours, we can really play hard until all new kinds of card games were created. Oh my gosh, this gonna kill... HELP!!!!

UNITEN gets RM 4.8Mil

Uniten gets RM4.8m for research projects
KUALA LUMPUR: Universiti Tenaga Nasional (Uniten) has been awarded a RM4.8mil grant by the Higher Education Ministry to undertake research projects on energy and water.
Its public affairs department director Datin Noor Zarina Musa said in the area of renewable energy, Uniten was awarded RM3.8mil to do research on energy from landfills in Malaysia. – Bernama

Uniten gets such a big fund from the government to do research on energy and water, y our university didnt come up with some special research that can benefits the country and get funds from gov for it?? I guess our uni is also capable of doing some research which is special and benefits not jsut local people but also others around the world

Chinese New Year

CNY is just around the corner, about a week til the first day of CNY or 初一. CNY marks the beginning of a new chinese calendar or also known as lunar calendar. During this celebration, chinese likes to celebrate it with fireworks, mandarin oranges, 'bak gua', and many more. The most important thing that for those who havent married is to get Ang Pao.. Besides that, there is one thing that many would do during this festive season which is gamble. Usually many will get together to play some card games even before the first day of CNY. Here are some games that usually played:
- Blackjack: this is the most common game being played as it is easy as long as the player know how to calculate.
- Chor Dai Di: This game only allow maximum of 4 players to play and this game requires skills and good memory. The biggest card is 2 of Spade which is Dai Di.
- Poker: Not many play this but some who is daring prefer this game.
- Pak Kah Lok: This is a game where the turnover is high and fast. 2 cards at first and then if ur points is less than a certain number set before the game, you can take one more card. 9 points is the highest.
- Ngau: 5 cards and from there 3 cards must form total of 10s then balance will be your point.

There might be many more but this are some of the common ones. So good luck to those gamblers and Happy Chinese New Year to all Chinese and Happy Holiday to non-Chinese.

Bus Driver in M'sia

This few months Express Bus accidents in Malaysia has increased tremendously. In order to reduce more and mroe accidents, JPJ has taken actions against those drivers that have bad records on the road and also those companies which have problems such as poor handling on driver matters. Eventhough we saw that they caught how many drivers and so on but how come accidents still increasing? Today's paper, there is another accident and this time the driver had 13 summons against him and how come he is still driving a bus and risking the life of all the passengers?

Quick Facts bout My ITP

Since few days to the end of my ITP, i'm doing a quick facts here regarding what i've done this 3 months. The company i'm being placed in is a company that provides mobile value added services and also provide bulk sms services. This company has gained MSC Status company in Malaysia as they are involved in IT products, have office in Cyberjaya, receive intern(like me) for internship at their office and using computers to do all their work. The place where i need to report everyday which is their main office is located in Desa Sri Hartamas and by taking NKVE, it takes me 30 minutes to reach and paying RM8 for toll inclusive of return.

1st Month:
- when i entered, given first task was to have a run through on their web sms interface and provide a report on my feedback and also improvements for that site.
- after done with that, the next assignment would be using JSP to develop a page for internal usage which took me 2 weeks to do from scratch.
- all of us were given a task which due on 31/12/07 which is to find customer contacts and input to the system. We need to get 5000 contacts by then.

2nd Month:
- doing touch up here and there for the project i done previously
- as previous, getting more and more contacts
- helped to do a mock up system for a customer which took me a week using PHP

3rd Month:
- since just a month more, no new task assigned, so basically main focus is to get those contacts to reach 5000 target.
- helped out on system check to ensure that msg to 019 is ok as im using 019..haha

so basically that's wut i did and im sure most of u have wonderful stuffs to learn n work during ur ITP. Stay tuned for more photo updates in next few post.

What I've Done

Human are not perfect and we tend to do mistakes time by time. Im sure i did quite alot of mistakes in my life til now and there are some which i really regret it alot. And im sure that i did quite alot of mistakes which made my darling unhappy and angry with me, so i would really like to apologise to her for what i've done. It's always nice to know that you have done things wrong and compensate for the mistakes you've done especially towards those that are beside you. I'm sorry to all my frens, if i've done any mistakes which have caused some unwanted trouble and caused any unhappy moments, please do forgive me as i'm just another human learning the way of life.

HuMaN

Its been 4 days since my last update as this few nights were so busy. This evening, together with my family, we went to Sunway for dinner at a restaurant that serve buffet steamboat. Its quite famous here so i guess many of u noe which one. What i wanna touch is not bout the food that are being served but the attitude of those ppl eating there.

Besides those dishes that u can put inside ur steamboat pot, there are also some other dishes which u can eat straight away like fried rice, fried noodles, fruits, 'kuih' and so on. Then this restaurant is famous for their chicken wings. So its kinda like HOT item there. When we reached that time, the previous serve has been all taken up so we gotta wait til the waiter serve the chicken wings again to get a hand to try it. While we were waiting, we took those prawns, vege and blah blah lo..so then i saw few ppl waiting around the table there so i guessed they surely waiting for the chicken wing. Then few minutes later, once the chicken wings are served at the serving table, few more rushed there and so do i. Guess what happen.....

A guy took two big plates, then using one to collect, the other plate he use it to sweep the chicken wing into another plate....he took more than half of the chicken wings that are being served and guess how many i got???? just 2 pcs.. which consider a bonus..haha... Less than 1/2 a minute the dish is being served its been cleaned up.

Then about half an hour later, the waiter serve another round again, this time many rush there again and so did my parents as i was busy with other stuffs. This time they are lucky to get few back better than what i got... Then another 30 mins later this dish is served again and around 30 sec the chicken wings have been taken up..

From this we can see that human are really so selfish that they took so much without thinking whether other ppl need to eat it. Esp the guy that used 2 plates to take, i think its a shame to do so. Everytime the waiter serve it, its really funny to see those ppl rush there just to get one or two chicken wings and for about 30 sec, the whole dish is clean...

What a Morning...

18th December 2007, Tuesday.. This is the day where epsilon engineering students need to register their course for next trimester. Since i need to come in office at 9am and the registration time starts at 9am so i asked my colleague to pick me earlier so we could reach the office earlier.

As promised, he reached my place quite early which is bout 10mins earlier than usual so i thought sure we will reach early. Then, just as we joined the KESAS highway, oh my, the traffic was so heavy that cars hardly moving. Guess what, those highway maintenance team didnt open the side word to divert those vehicles going to KL, Subang. Therefore, all the vehicles gotta stuck there for about 15 minutes. So my planned seems to be ruined. So immediately i inform my darling bout the situation and she can prepare herself to help me do my registration.

So as predicted, i reached office 5 minutes past 9am where the registration has started. So for those of you who do not know, we, MMU students like to rush to register our subjects with the timetable which suites our own time such as avoiding early morning classes, no friday classes and so on. That's y our registration is so jammed up.

Though im late, but my darling still having trouble login to the system and i tried it too. Even though able to open the login page sure enough it will not able to proceed more than that point. So then we keep on trying and surprisingly where i cant get myself login to the system, my darling helped me registered both of the subjects for next trimester..yahoo...thanks alot to my darling..then we also need to help a housemate to register and this time she also able to login and registered both the subjects..wow, melaka line better huh..

Lecturer's Visit

It's been few days back since i last update here, so since im abit free at the moment, i do a quick drop-by here to update. This late morning, the lecture in charge came over to make a visit for the Industrial Training Program. He is a lecturer from FOE in Cyberjaya. Since he is a foreign lecturer and doesnt really know where the company im attached is located, he called over and ask for directions then he stopped in Sri Hartamas rather than Desa Sri Hartamas as its quite confusing here.

Then my supervisor took me to the place where he stopped and guided him to our office. He made a half an hour visit here interviewing the person in-charge in this company regarding trainees' performance throughout the 8 weeks. Then after he is done interviewing him, its time that he interview the trainees. Im the first to go in so he asked about the things that i've been doing all these while then how is it going on. The interview is more like a feedback that he needs from us regarding the company whether is it suitable for students to be sent over for their internship.

So after he is done with all the questions, then he proceed with another trainee which i think also the same sets of questions. Basically its kinda rush visit as he just get those verbal answers and didnt check on the things that we did previously. After he is done with the interview, he left for another stop which is in Sri Hartamas, the place where i met him to guide him over here.
