Well, we've passed February 2014 today. The <b>New Year</b> and <b>Chinese New Year</b> of 2014 just passed by <i>*snap</i> like that, in a blink of eye or whatever terms that describe time moves fast. Anyway, back to the story from the previous blog post, I've mentioned that I was transforming myself from the fat, geeky, boring dude into something new right?<br />

Yeah, my old me. Back in 2012 when I was in a vacation with my colleagues at Cameron Highlands. Great place as always in my top vacation sites list. See that bump? That's a fat bump.<br />

And now...<br />

Sorry for not showing my front because it's still under construction. The abs and chest part is quite hard for me and that more effort and duration to build. Anyway, if you wanna know more (or peek on my frontals <i>*gosh sounds awkward</i>, just head yourself to my <a href="http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/nigelfoong" target="_blank">Bodyspace</a>.

From 95 kg, I dropped my bodyweight until 80 - 82 kg and I think I hit my limits as the measurement is more likely buffering at that range. The important one is that my bodyfat percentage has dropped from 23% to 16%. I've hit my target partially for my bodyweight but my bodyfat is still in progress as its goal is 8%. Fuh, another 8% to lose.</div>

So far, the workouts are quite good, not that intense and I learned a lot from this program. Just that I need to maintain my motivation level up to par so that I won't give up easily. I have several times that those soreness from my muscle from hamstrings, calves and other parts of major muscles causes most of my weekends bedridden.<br />

<br />
Practically, I can't go anywhere but to stay on bed while taking time to recuperate and having some casein shakes to improve my situation. When comes to that, we are gonna move on to my nutrition.<br />

During October & November 2013, I made myself eating mostly fruits like apple and banana during morning and lunch while I was testing out fat burners. As I mentioned on my previous post, I've changed my fat burner to a better one (I think). Muscletech Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite.<br />

This babe is a real deal and I would recommend this even for beginners. As long as you can tolerate high caffeine intake and the jitterish feeling daily, you will like this product. Back to normal intake, I added my nutrition with more fiber from oat. Uncooked oat to be precised. I just dunk 3 tablespoons of it into my cereal or shakes.<br />

<br />
When I started my program on early December, I stopped my fat burner and move on into taking high protein. Hence, whey protein and casein come in.<br />
<br />

<br />
Platinum Hydrowhey and Gold Standard 100% Casein from Optimum Nutrition. As planned, these proteins help me in building up lean muscles and possibly help me shred fat too. For your infomation, whey protein is a fast-absorbing protein which can be taken before or after workout and casein is a slow one and only can be taken before heading to bed. Both are proteins but different rate of absorption. They are not cheap but helps me a lot when comes to repairing micro tear of muscle fiber which causes the soreness and pain I had..<br />

<br />
This fish oil supplement comes as an additional supplements. It's from Optimum Nutrition by the way. Well, that's wrap up my nutrition and supplements status quo from me. In future, I might add CLA and creatine and just see how my pocket money goes as expenses on proteins don't come cheap.<br />
<br />
For now, I will keep going on and on as long as I kept my motivation level as I started from my transformation. My target:-<br />

<br />
Hey peeps. Another post from me in wee hours (practically the time now is 2.07 am) and I'm widely awake. I think it's due to something I started off in the early of this month that made me... erm... how should I put my word here?<br />
<br />
Miraculously, insane, spontaneous decision?<br />
<br />
I wouldn't think it will be in my 2013 to-do-list but in sudden, I decided to transform myself from fat to lean. Yeah, and believe of not, today marked me as the fourth week and I have set my goal within a year. I'm not sure how well I will go but I'm quite determined and persistent lately, perhaps due to exercise regimen which is practically everyday either I'm at gym (yeah, I go to gym now), swimming pool (don't sound surprised but I do know how to swim) and home.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.puma.com/system/articles/images/1765/body/gym.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://www.puma.com/system/articles/images/1765/body/gym.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I recalled my first gym session was during my varsity year, almost the end of my degree where one of my friend asked me to join him at campus gym. Back in those days, me and my friend were fat and well, overweight. So, I hit the gym twice a week but ending up I gave up due to muscle soreness, lack of motivation and I had a packed schedule with my final year projects and studies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://en.bellebeirut.com/wp-content/themes/duotive-fortune/includes/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/go-to-the-gym.jpg&h=200&w=550&a=c&zc=1&q=100" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="145" src="http://en.bellebeirut.com/wp-content/themes/duotive-fortune/includes/timthumb.php?src=/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/go-to-the-gym.jpg&h=200&w=550&a=c&zc=1&q=100" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Well, I admit that I was lazy to go for an exercise. Maybe another reason I would blamed is the inadequate gym equipments in the campus gym as they have basic equipments, treadmills and a cross-trainer and sometimes, those equipments broke down.<br />
<br />
Next, my sister enrolled herself to a gym which I would say it is (hopefully still) the best gym in town which located at Kinta City called Fitness Embassy. It has the most equipments I've seen so far and I was given privilege for 3 days free pass to go there. I was so excited until I worked out for almost 4 hours. My sister said that I was crazy and energetic. Anyhow, I ended up myself crash to bed after the gym session. Yes indeed it's cool to enrol there but when comes to the fee...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://classicvelocity.com/static/516b4509e4b0f727065b368f/516b4621e4b0fa60c3d73554/516b4629e4b0fa60c3d7497c/1301275443917/expensive-bill.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://classicvelocity.com/static/516b4509e4b0f727065b368f/516b4621e4b0fa60c3d73554/516b4629e4b0fa60c3d7497c/1301275443917/expensive-bill.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
<br />
Yes, it's expensive and I don't have much money back then to hit such gym.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, I kind of abandoning my exercise since then until recently. Maybe I made my decision to quick but I like to come out with unexpected ones as it gives me adventure. As I have started to work with UTAR, I didn't bother to go for an exercise or even a swimming session with my mum and sister. I was FB-ing a lot, taking sleeps on weekends, do my job on weekdays and the days just goes on and on.<br />

<br />
In the early of this month, I've decided to make another life commitment: A transformation of my body.<br />
<br />
I want to lose those 'spare tires' that I've seen since I was teenager.<br />
<br />
I want to make my life better with healthy liver condition (I have a fatty liver condition btw).<br />
<br />
I want my body to have lean, shredded muscles just like fitness model.<br />
<br />
I want to look better.<br />

<br />
But the word 'I want' doesn't come just like that. It's not a wishful thought anymore if I take the steps now, fast.<br />
<br />
Hence, I told one of my good friend (also happened to be my colleague) to hit gym with him every Tuesday and Thursday. I make myself to go for a swim on Saturdays. I do crunches on the other days. In the end, this week has been the third week. I make myself to change diet until my parents worried and my colleagues teased me for being a sudden healthy freak. I even starved myself by resisting temptations from all around me. And heck, I still diet and exercise everyday in recent vacation.<br />
<br />

<br />
I see results that makes me want more. More fat shredding. More lean muscle. At the same time, I had help from Bodybuilding.com by setting up a Bodyspace account. This account has tracked all my exercise regiments, giving me guide on which exercises that I should do and focus on and for the first time, I picked up a supplement. A thermogenic weight-loss supp.<br />

<br />
What is it actually? Based from various info, it is a kind of supplement that helps you to metabolise fat whether you workout or not while curb cravings and give some kick during workouts and reduce lethargic effects after exercise session. I got this Musclepharm Shred Matrix a try for about 1/2 to one month supply and the price is fine but will it works?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So far, I did feel something but I'm not sure what I'm felt because it is my first time taking supplements for gym. I remembered the first time I took it, I felt the energy kick as it has caffeine. And it was just one capsule. The whole bottle has a strong scent of berry, hence from the ingredient of raspberry ketone. I dared myself to take two capsules during afternoon (suggested use is 1-3 capsules before 30/45 minutes prior to breakfast and lunch) and the kick stays. It happens to be my gym day so I took another one capsule before I hit for exercise and heck, it works.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The verdict is I don't feel hungry and lethargic after gym session. There's one thing I noticed that I took about 4 bottles of 1.5L water throughout the day. I was a bit worried because I didn't go for toilet to pee quite frequently as the product mentioned that it has diuretic effects. Anyhow, I sweat a lot more that day.<br />
<br />

<br />
On the second day, it's Friday and I do crunches. Yes, the energy still there but I was a bit hungry hence I take addition small meals like few pieces of crackers and some juices. That day, I took 2 during morning and 2 during lunch.<br />
<br />

<br />
For today (it's Saturday), I did go for a swimming session but I took an extra. Same as on Friday but I popped another 2 before I swim. That counts the maximum intake of the supplement as recommended. I feel good and my energy level reduce just a bit. Yet, I crashed on my bed at 8 and woke up around 12 am till now. I still feel the energy and maybe, or just maybe, I would like to do another crunch session later before I go to sleep again (for your info, I had a crunch session right before I go to swim). Crazy or what.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I still widely awake but started to have some yawns. This product still under evaluation as it says and I quote, "Visible changes in less than 2 weeks". Well, hope it does as it said. I'm gonna pop 3 capsules tomorrow for breakie and lunch and see how my body response. For now, my throat feels the acid reflux and I need to quench some water to reduce it. Gotta stock up some apples tomorrow and pray that this product does the job.<br />

<br />
Well, you can monitor my progress from my <a href="http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/nigelfoong/" target="_blank">Bodyspace</a> as I will track all the exercise thingy that I do. Just like Twitter but it's for people who are obsessed with exercise and muscle. That marks my point here to stop and actually I still have errands to do now in the middle of midnight.<br />

I hope that I can achieve such lean muscle in future and retain the result. Not too bulky but just some nice muscle and definitely the six packs. The kind of body that attracts people's eye on beaches or elsewhere that I can be half naked.<br />

<br />
Hey guys. Another post has been delayed long time ago but feeling wanna spill my life event.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://sites.duke.edu/dthrenaissanceballet/files/2013/08/the_great_migration_f1834340cd6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="http://sites.duke.edu/dthrenaissanceballet/files/2013/08/the_great_migration_f1834340cd6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since the last post, it has been few emotional months that I've been through. Decisions that would change my direction in my life. A sudden thought of migrating to Australia for better living and the plan has been stalled (notice here that I still have intentions to move out from Malaysia) due to immigration worries. Of course, If I'm moving out, it means I told my Master studies supervisor that I quit and ready to ditch a resignation letter to UTAR.</div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
When this matter was over, me and my mom was planning to venture into food business as our main plan going to Melbourne is to open a cafe. Since my local area doesn't have such business before, it would be great to be the one. In the end, it turns out to be another stop. The price of a shop is darn hefty and cost a life. My mum couldn't afford to get one as predicted that the loan will be for life.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, in that period I was actually still giving myself the final decision: resignation. In the midst of packing up my things, my supervisor approached me and ask me to become her Master student again and she really have patience to let me decide again by giving me a month. I was puzzled, confused and worried with path would I choose.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Getting another job and leave my dream to have Master qualification or stuck myself, continue what I've done so far for 2 years, graduate again and find a new job? Indeed I want to look for other jobs as my career in UTAR has no job advancement and my salary increment is the least compares to my friends working outside with corporate and big companies. At the same time, my sister asked me to work outside for better salary, expand my career portfolio and get a Master studies in business and management.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In that time, I'm also worried that I'm not ready to face new challenge and have no new direction to look for.</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Thus, I remained UTAR and proceed my studies as planned at the first place. Sorry for disappointing people who heard my news and those kinds of 'leaving' anticipation.</div>

<div>
Last few weeks, there are few positive turnouts that I didn't expect to have.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
Firstly, I'm going to get my first investment home in Kampar. This decision is made when I was looking rents which probably starts on upcoming January. My parents advised me to look for home as they would like to help to buy a house and become landlord instead of spending two or three years paying rents for a room. Yes, no more 'fake' surprises and it's in progress.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
The second decision would be another life event. You might guess but I can't promise that this decision will be a success as I'm letting the nature takes its coarse and the decision that my fate lies.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
That's it, folks. I might not be posting much but I hope I can do more in future. Anticipate more stories from me then and thanks for your patience!</div>

<br />
Win or lose?<br />
<br />
Today's topic is not about competition or contest. It's about conversation.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/316/2/3/the_art_of_conversation_by_rttmsdag-d32q8oc.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/316/2/3/the_art_of_conversation_by_rttmsdag-d32q8oc.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
It is inevitable to ignore conversation and has becoming one of the important delivery mode among society in order to move and evolve, despite the addition of facial expressions and body languages. I'm not going to explain more about it but I would like to emphasise on healthy conversation. Making such conversation, we can boost up our knowledge and correct others from mistakes and misunderstanding. But what if a conversation turns into a debate, naturally?<br />
<br />
Now, it's becoming a 'healthy debate'? I'm not sure there's such word but it's does not related to HEALTH debates. So I hope I make it clear.<br />
<br />
In order not to reveal anyone, I should mention the person as an acquaintance, <b>A</b>. There is a situation (hardly a situation where it happens quite often thought) where conversation starts like usual days. Conversation from hottest news in current society, political issues and others were the topics. When the time comes right, <b>A</b> will start to pop up with questions which leads to his disagreement.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://theintersectionist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/I-disagree-with-you2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://theintersectionist.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/I-disagree-with-you2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
We can't stop someone from disagreeing some points as they might speak up something which is true and making sense. Hence, people will evaluate the points based on their knowledge and experience. Some will agree and some will not.<br />
<br />
The situation will get sticky when <b>A</b> starts to disagree all the way. <b>A</b> is a person who is consistent and bold with his words which most of people thinks it's a strength where else I think it's a flaw.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Simple, the statements made in the early talk were indeed true and understandable but <b>A</b> loves to start statements which are nonsense and disagreed by most of people in the conversation after a few moments. Suck isn't it when we had person like <b>A</b> to talk with? If there's someone who stop him, <b>A</b> will be more stern on his points and keep talking in order to support his stand. The 'someone' here would be me, mostly because I really can't stand a person who talk craps continuously and want to move the conversation back to positive manner.<br />
<br />
Can you see the <b>healthy conversation </b>is turning into a <b>debate</b>? Luckily, it doesn't turn out to be an argument or else it would be a very bad moment for me and others. As a persistent person, <b>A</b> will not give up until he wins the 'debate'. When he does, he will eventually utter, <i>"Yeah, I win!"</i>. And he likes it, very much.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJddEuiwo057N-TdHxKIWOTBXK4QFi6Oy9U416z0cuZfDpWnxHmk1pnn7GQjC_oyB0cudkrAVAEhGb5KEMsQYk1dK2zh3xI9nyFxbPXdDe2H_-EqezQ_Ng6Xv9MQt7I3Mnb0cEbdnuQmu/s1600/meme-are-you-kidding-me.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwJddEuiwo057N-TdHxKIWOTBXK4QFi6Oy9U416z0cuZfDpWnxHmk1pnn7GQjC_oyB0cudkrAVAEhGb5KEMsQYk1dK2zh3xI9nyFxbPXdDe2H_-EqezQ_Ng6Xv9MQt7I3Mnb0cEbdnuQmu/s200/meme-are-you-kidding-me.png" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
I care less who the person wins or loses because it is a <b>conversation</b> in the beginning. It is him that make the whole thing became a debate. The 'conversation' ended abruptly and turns out to be uninteresting because of a participant like <b>A</b>. It's like passing a ball around and someone have the ball on his own and not passing it to others.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/win%20lose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/win%20lose.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
If he can't win the debates, <b>A</b> will bring something negative about his opponent in order to cover up his losse and try to get his winning back. It's more like competition, as I said like a debate.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure <b>A</b> notices bad things were piling up to himself and it's not a good sign. No one will start to talk with him or bring him into conversation and it's kinda sad when he is not being invited, more likely as an outcast. If you can't win something, just lose it by accepting people's point of view but not with a person who thinks his points are definitely correct without doubts or indeed crap.<br />
<br />
True or false, there is always a balance like Yin and Yang. Not everything will be the right ones and wrong. We have to understand there is a point of moderation on every 'Yes' and 'No'. We cannot be very bold on an issue or too soft by letting it go. Just go average, a balance.<br />
<br />
About the winning and losing, it's not important to win everything as we human are not perfect to win every moments. First, don't anticipate to win or lose as we might be on either sides. Secondly, please do not declare yourself as a winner where people look at you as a "winner freak" and never ever proud of it. Lastly, do not back up your loses by pointing out someone's weaknesses and make it as a strong point. It will make others to hate you more and in the end, you will become a loner.<br />
<br />
No conversation = No social life = Forever alone.<br />
<br />

<br />
I don't want to voice out the criticism to such person as they will 'fight' for their stand eventually. The only way to curb this bad attitude is when everyone starts to point out this issue to him. Majority rules by the way.<br />

When you are deemed to be in the losing side, just suck it up and be proud. Being a loser is not a bad idea as we will learn from mistakes and these experiences are invaluable and no one will teach us but time. Don't try to act up and end the conversation abruptly when you can't disagree more on people's voice. Pointing out someone weakness necessarily proofs that you are a person who lack of confidence and self-esteem. Not everyone can accept negative things when it's not the right time to be discussed.<br />

<br />
Respect other's opinion and try to think twice before you speak. Every words matter. Voicing out your words is like throwing several stones in a pond. The lighter you throw, the wave produced are smooth. Same goes to your conversation, smooth conversation.<br />

Hey guys. I'm really into hiatus mode as daily chores and work keeping me up quite busy recently. Anyway, I would like to jot down something you guys for an update.<br />
<br />
Remember my post about '<a href="http://howsmydayinutarkampar.blogspot.com/2012/10/pasion.html">Pasion</a>' that I wrote about myself regarding what I'm interested to do in the past and future? Yeah, I got myself something.<br />
<br />
Something expensive yet I have waited for the past 12 years to get one on my own.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
See something black there? Yeah, I got it. My 2013 bonus just cut half for that price tag. Why I choose it? Actually it wasn't part of my plan for 2013 but my colleague mentioned that he bought something from a local music store. <a href="http://www.ckmusic.com.my/">CK Music</a>. In December 2012, they were making a promotional period where items were discounted and I checked out the piano section.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They sell Korg brand which I heard of but not that familiar. I've played digital piano from Yamaha, Casio and Roland but not Korg. I checked out forums and sites about this brand. It turns out there are some quite good review as they are well-known stage musical instrument provider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I looked on the list of digital piano they offered and I came out with my decision. Actually two. SP170 and LP350.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Differences? SP170 is much more affordable but it's bulkier, lesser sound preferences and effects, hidden preset where we need to press the keys to access modes like changing sound and tuning and this piano offers sustain pedal. Somehow, it's portable as I tried to lift the piano. It's light.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On the other hand, LP350 is more sleeker, space savvy, 30 sounds with reverb, touch and chorus selection, built-in metronome and 3 pedals. The 3 pedals are quite important to me if I want to go for music class again. I can't deny I like its design and there's one little feature that really look cool. The hatch that enclose the keys has a soft closure, meaning that we just close it halfway and leave it close on its own smoothly. Can't get it, see the video here.</div>

The keys were weighed as if they were keys from upright or grand piano, giving out the real expression of touching almost precise, feeling of a real hammered key from uprights or grand piano. They called it "Real Weighted Hammer Action 3".</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
From the super duper long description above, it's clearly that my decision would be LP350. At the first place, I want the white one but after a few looks from the piano in the showroom, the dust is much more visible. They offered other colour which is black. The other colors which are not offered in Malaysia is:-</div>

Why I chose a digital piano? Well, I learnt to play piano using a digital one and I felt better. They are much lighter compares to an upright. Digital piano does not require tuning and maintenance from pest like termite and fungal growth due to high humidity in Malaysia. Electric doesn't eat your wallet much compares to its maintenance. One maintenance costs more than changing your engine oil. Other words, the price for upright, cheapest is about RM 6000 to 8000. Even for those refurbished piano, they cost at least RM 4000.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Digital piano? The decent and stylish looking like mine just cost me not more than RM 3000. And it smaller and can give performance just like an upright up to its par. The only one thing that I can say bad about digital piano is if there's not electricity, it won't function and the piano goes off when its electronic parts spoilt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, I got it about one month and so far, the piano is indeed a new companion in my life. After await for 12 years since my mom didn't bought me one because I didn't passed on her expectation, finally I got one on my own. Why I want to get it one now, this time? My answer: I don't know but believe it or not, it's like a calling for me to get one and this decision that I need to fulfil in part of my life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the next one, I think I won't be using my money that often as I have another major plan. Planning to get a hybrid car in another 5 years time where my salary can afford a loan for a RM 95k to 130k as for the price of a current hybrids.</div>

Why my next plan on getting a hybrid? First, hydrid save petrol usage which greatly reducing my money in paying the tank. Second, these cars are environmental friendly as they emits lesser CO2 combustion. Third, they can work alone as an electric vehicle, EV where they move quietly and no petrol use at least 10 km. Great for short distance travelling without using a single drop of petrol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If Malaysia plan to get an EV with affordable price tag, I'm hoping for Nissan LEAF.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A total EV vehicle without tailpipe. Zero combustion, zero emission. I hope that this car can take more than 160 km per charge and battery replacement from using lithium to sodium. This would make the battery price drop significantly hence the price of the car.</div>

<br />Everyone has his/her own dreams and in order to achieve, passion comes to play the role. Dreams without passion are merely meaningless journey.<br /><br /> After a distance of my new journey, I began to release that I started to miss, or to say, forget my passion and they were recently came back into my consciousness whenever I see the world. It has been a very very long time that I immerse those also-forgotten passions that were burning in my soul which define and characterise me a lot since I was small.<br /><br /> Currently, my passion towards further studies still the main ones as I have made my next step ahead. Hopefully it turns out at least by next year or the other depending on my decision. <span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span>

<i><b>Music</b></i>. The first long lost passion that I always remember. Since I was small, my mother enrolled my sister for music class to ease her children with healthy activities. I remembered that I was around 5 years old, still in the kindergarten sulking with rants when my mother decided to enroll her only.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be fair, my mom finally put me into the music as well. Astonishingly, I like it very much. From there, I found my first talent in music. Frankly speaking, playing music is like doing lab practicals and therefore comes the test part: Theory.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.learnpianolessonsingapore.com/images/music_theory.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.learnpianolessonsingapore.com/images/music_theory.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not easy to do it as I was having bad time with my English and lazy to count (as those beats and some rhythmic notations requires simple maths). So, I always stranded myself in theory. Didn't take any test on theory so just took a few test on Organ test. By the way, I started to learn music using an Organ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Due to time allocation, I told my mom to try piano lesson as well. Logically, once you know how to read the scripts and press the keys from Organ, it's a definite that you can do it as well in piano. Just remembering that the key pressed in piano has its own pressure which leads to the quality of the key hit. Loud, soft or crisps like staccato move.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
As I was 12, my mom told me that if I got myself a full A's in my first major examination (UPSR for locals), she will buy me an digital piano which comes with expensive price tag. In the end, I didn't get it. And anyway, I save her money...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Too bad. Plus, I had my music class stopped in order to focus myself back into full time study.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
For now, I'm working now and I can afford to have one as the price for a regular digital piano is quite affordable. So, if depends now this passion will decide my next move? Or not?<br />

<i><b>Photography</b></i>. Another indeed a passion that I profound in secondary (high) school when I was 16. It started when some of my seniors invited me to join in the club. Hence, new things to be learnt and we have some photo-shooting jobs whenever the school held events. From there, the supervisor of the club taught me a few extra things and my passion for photography started from there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I own a digital camera which bought by my mother and it's a Kodak. I chose Kodak as its chip was kinda good back then and the camera is user-friendly. When I started to hold a DSLR, things change and I'm currently eyeing on Nikon and Sony Alphas. So, from photography this blog is kinda initially come with it as you can see I had quite a number of pictures taken by myself (mostly except those credited by their respective owner).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
For time being, I have no investment in photography but hopefully I can do it in future time. It's not a cheap passion to be chased anyway, just an interest I had. Having a decent phone that has a good MP is good enough for me to take photo and share in my social networking.</div>

<i style="font-weight: bold;">Cooking.</i> Perhaps I was being trained by my mum or the taste buds of mine prefers me to do it on my own, I enjoy cooking. Spicy, sour, sweet, salty. And I fond of herbs. They simply amazed eaters without additional flavoring. In fact, no salt or sugar is used. I began to cook when I saw my father prepared omelette himself. From there, I pick up pans, little bits of oil and an egg.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I keen to learn cooking from my mom whenever she cooks. Unless, those dishes were cooked repetitively. I tried several cooking by referring recipes from internet sites and book. There's a person who inspires me a lot in cooking:- Jamie Oliver. One word: Simple. He cook things with simple ingredients yet creating a meal that is marvellous. I haven't got enough money to buy all his cooking books as I intended to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm also a person who likes to try at new places (eventhough I'm almost broke). I have a few buddies who like to test tasting from one place to another and rate the place. So, anytime (if my wallet <u>still</u> allows me to unfill it) I would be glad to taste and give my own personal opinion. And I'm serious when comes to good and bad in food.</div>

<b><i>Art</i>. </b>I do it whenever my mood kicks in. Erm, where should I start about my art. Oh yeah, I fond with art during my primary and secondary school. I think it was fun and a place to be creative and imaginative when our hand holds a pencil, crayon, paint or pastel and starts to dribble on a piece of white canvas. It was simply a calm situation for me to draw without guides but my thoughts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Not much I can talk about my art as I kept my art brushes, pencil colors and pastel aside quite a long time. I should get a new ones if I intend to make an art in future. Perhaps, painting for my own house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Overall, you can see that I'm quite an artistic person, not a science geek. Just that, I need energy and time to do these things. For me, science stuff is my backbone in my 20s till 50s as I'm depending on it to earn my major income. I planned to stop doing things in science when I reach my pension years and wish to set up a cafe on my own.</div>

After the day on tomorrow, it will be a complete year for my first job. As a lab officer (aka Assistant Laboratory Manager) in UTAR. Believe it or not? I felt it was like just a month, or two. Felt so short yet I've step this far.</div>
<br />
A year of full service meant I gotta be confirmed. Yes, I'm a confirmed staff. And I'm not showing off here (for a certain readers who thinks I'm showing off. Sorry for the late disclaimer). As I was confirmed, my first impression is either happy or sad. Feels like in the middle but more to the down mood.<br />
<br />

<br />
When comes to doing my job, everyone will say,<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Nigel, we depend on you."</blockquote>
<br />
I don't know whether it was a compliment or merely just sending me a smirk. Taking higher steps mean having heavy responsibilities, I feel that but I need to take it slowly and have the obligation to ignore them if I still have unsettle business. I hope people will know everyone has a limit before going overboard.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Sigh...</span></i></div>
<br />
Anyway, I try to take it positively when my feelings tell me the opposite. Try to climb higher still but remember my limits. Hope all of you understands. :) Currently, I'm trying to get back my track with something I've planned along.<br />

<br />
Yeah, master studies.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm preparing myself with some early discussion with my supervisor before determine the route for the study. Before that, I would like to deliver my gratitude to my FYP supervisor, Dr. Chee who still have a keen interest on me to become my MSc supervisor. I hope that we will collaborate and make something out from the research. So, up up the way and hope my plan can be carried forward as I was imagined.<br />

<br />
<br />
Will I survive for another year before I do it with my part-time studies on Master? Hope so because I will have thoughts on the next level after the study. For time being, let's stick back the plan which I had in mind during my third year of undergraduate.<br />
<br />
Before I miss out, I would like to thank my previous life that prep me with plans even though I need to go through pains and bitter moments. Just let my passion kept burning as it is but not fading away.<br />

It has been a long time I type something due to my hectic workload and travelling period from Kampar to Ipoh. Wanna blurt some off my rants actually but hard to explain in the proper manner so I just make it short and simple.<br />
<br />
For the past 7 months that I've been working as a lab officer (position known in my campus is '<i>Assistant Laboratory Manager</i>'), I learnt lots of stuffs and have the high and low experience. From the wackiest scene made by my students and facing my bosses on jobs that I've never encounter with minimal guidance, I would say it was a hell of a ride. In fact, I like the most is my colleagues who share laughters and discuss matter around without having politics.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What I can <i>hope</i> to see in my future is producing a laboratory professional, but what I see in <i>present</i> is way off the road. Hurt or not, I want to say that the batch of student I had currently came from a generation called '<i>Spoon fed generation</i>'.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeah, it's my <b>quote </b>of the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Plus I've encounter several students who are not just only disobey your words, they even challenge me back. See the picture? Perhaps they thought that once they paid me to do the job, I have to be like a servant. Sorry, I was paid to teach you to become a professional in a society, not a dung. Even I was being paid with a decent salary, I know my purpose for being here as a teacher and lab coordinator. It's way too different compare to my batch as we do and learn things most from ourselves, not by just ask to do for it. So, suck it up. I won't change my way of doing my work...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Next things is about my working place management. Yes, I was being told and experiencing the hectic procedures with no guidance from the upper personnels. They even don't bother to guide me properly on doing things and ending up I was being scold for nothing. Plus, a letter that will compromise my confirmation interview. My (upper) boss said it wasn't a big deal on getting that <i>letter</i> but hell yeah, it matters to me. Mostly. So, as a good lesson, I won't start my engine doing things unless I'm in the right track and procedures. Enough saying on saving <i>someone's</i> ass and get my ass hot red.</div>

Back to the main topic, my journey is kind of foggy but hey, I told myself that I accept challenges and learn how to face it. Nothing can beat me down, even I fall. It just a matter of time that I crawl up back, stand firmly and move on confidently.</div>

<br />
It's really been a while that I've drop a few words on my life chapter. Got graduated, have my first lifetime full time job and busy with it. What can say since I anticipate myself as a working adult. In another month time, it has been a half year and I felt that my time has passed by so quickly.<br />
<br />
Has been quite lonely since I'm still single and available and most of close friends are not around with me. The closest I have currently is my dear UTAR colleagues who are fun and joyful to be with. The one that accompany me the most is my never-ending workloads. <br />
<br />
For another few days, that's the end of 2011. So, do you peeps have your new year resolution? Better make list now and try to work it on. I haven't make mine but will do it soon.<br />
<br />
Not much to talk since I'm trying out the blogger apps in my iPad. Yeah, my latest gadget that will replace my mobile computing since my notebook starts to give me the 'pension' sign after four years of service...<br />
<br />
More to come in upcoming post as I haven't post out graduation story, my jobplace and upcoming trip to further place called China in next month Chinese New Year. Be hopeful that I fill the space here and update you guys as usually how is my day in UTAR (which is my jobplace now) plus my daily doses and dilemma.<br />
<br />
Night peeps and Merry Christmas to all!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOD4Btzi6ArFIqvQIU33r5jgGWpo-UdCuxZxAlofuvsc95kqmhCLtvqkgVbKDQxXV61EWI-jKo9qzzvAtxF_427SazvQ6X_5ygm1u7I_7vZWKJlBA3LrxHv-NQ8aa1ql34gBEjK4N4jM_e/s640/blogger-image-1151819388.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOD4Btzi6ArFIqvQIU33r5jgGWpo-UdCuxZxAlofuvsc95kqmhCLtvqkgVbKDQxXV61EWI-jKo9qzzvAtxF_427SazvQ6X_5ygm1u7I_7vZWKJlBA3LrxHv-NQ8aa1ql34gBEjK4N4jM_e/s640/blogger-image-1151819388.jpg" /></a></div>Nigel Foonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11410403180116866312noreply@blogger.com0Jalan Rasi Jaya 15, Taman Rasi Jaya, 31450 Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia4.5760827076019677 101.029672622680664.5741042076019678 101.02720512268067 4.5780612076019676 101.03214012268066tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021898638897099686.post-25827599290570954382011-08-30T12:51:00.000-07:002011-08-30T12:56:47.466-07:00Hari Raya V2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelfoong/6097203447/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="raya2 by Nigel Foong, on Flickr"><img alt="raya2" height="800" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6208/6097203447_25ba4ee23b_b.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">No no no.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yeah, so Islamic friends, Selamat Hari Raya and maaf zahir dan batin. Have a safe trip if you're travelling back to your kampungs and for those who are not celebrating, the same advice goes to you too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">In conjunction of Raya, the independance day of Malaysia fall on today (the second Raya of 2011) but I care less about it due to the recent political issues (now I'm talking about the Bersih thingy) so I'm not fancy about the celebration this year. I just hope the upcoming election and my first ever vote for the Malaysia society will change the things that are currently awfully exist. That's my frank words, dear PM.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cut to the chase, back to Raya dedication. I would like to post this music video from Yuna as she sang this song last year and I think it's still the best Raya song I had listened rather than the "Oh oh oh Hari Raya~" old or improvised version regular Raya songs. More to come please Yuna as I'm your fan of Malaysia artiste after the era of Datuk Siti Nurhaliza. I vote for you, deary! Let's sing this song together!</div><br />

</div>I bet the same.<br />
It will be the same.<br />
Same blog name. It won't be any chances in future.<br />
Meaning that I got the job at the same place.<br />
It will be the same.<br />
But with newer, frequent post. Perhaps some fresher bits from me around.<br />
<br />
(I hope...and wish too.)<br />
<br />
Now, there's a new chapter for me to run.<br />
<br />

For the pass few blog post made, I think I was depressed by a few things.<br />
<br />
Quite a month where I find jobs, deal with family matters and got some unexpected events around me.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
Let's talk about my job hunting. I got several calls including the ones I didn't apply. Probably due to that I grant access of my resume and personal profiles to those companies are seeking for workers. After being introduced by one of my friend about trying out a position, I got the interview for the company though. During the interview, I was being told that the position I applied was assigned at Shah Alam instead of my hometown, Ipoh. Plus, they offer the salary below what I expected if I live in KL. I told them to reconsider the offer by putting me in Ipoh where they can put me back in the town instead of KL. Finally, I got the offer but there was something about their company policy which made me to turn down the job offer.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dailyrosetta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1307591725-12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.dailyrosetta.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/1307591725-12.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Soon, I was being called for second interview which happened to be in Shah Alam area. Due to my last visit to KL to visit my grandpa's grave, I was being appointed for the interview right after the visit. At first, I had some quarrel with my mum that I go to the site on my own by driving. She asked me to go there by public transport. Since I have to make wise decision, I did some research about the area which is Bukit Jelutong. Asking friends that are from KL, map search and even Wikipedia. In the end, I have to drive due to lack of public transportation in that place. As a result, I went there with my mum.<br />
<br />
As for the outcome, I was being interviewed by a stern lady but she's very friendly in talking, just she talk very little. During the interview, she was impressed on what I have but she told me that the salary will not be high, not more than 2K. So, she saw me as a opportunist, she arranged me with the second interview with the director. I was quite shock and didn't prepare much for the higher ranker's interview. On the other hand, it went even better than the first one. More on academic questions and experience. But I didn't touch about the salary matter as I was being told not to ask in front of the director. In the end of the day, I was quite disappointed that I was being offered with low salary in KL places.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://micanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/low-pay-300a042308.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://micanonymous.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/low-pay-300a042308.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Since then, whenever I accept a call for interview, I will ask them about the salary and see whether it fits the bill. If not, I won't bother to waste my time and energy to travel far for the sake of interview. Anyway, I got my third interview which was in Penang. Same thing, I went there with my mum.<br />
<br />
This interview was even astonished me. Before the interview, I was given an application form but not just this, a QA test for a QA engineer position. What the heck! I'm able to answer the math, some bits and bytes questions of computing but not electronics. Darn it, the test asked me about calculations on volts after passing severals resistors. I remembered the symbols of electronic circuits but I don't remember the formulae. So, I just leave it blank. In the end of the paper, there were some questions which were more to personality such as leaderships, decision making and personal interest.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/chaos/finco/lucasckt.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/chaos/finco/lucasckt.gif" /></a></div><br />
Something like that.<br />
<br />
During the interview, there were three staffs and in sudden, one was added and it became four. They seems to be interested in projects as I told them I didn't undergo internships as my course didn't offered it. Then, I realised their directions of asking questions. They told me that every problems that being encountered will become a project. Projects that required rectifying the source of problem, giving out presentation internally and externally, solving problems, application of methods and generate new ideas for future process. They even told me it's a routine as a QA engineer. I was like "Duh, why I come for this stupid interview that the job assigned is totally not related to what I've learnt. Plus, I even don't have an interest on it!" It's not that I didn't read the job description at the first place as they inserted the job details which were quite related to what I can do. In the end, I treat that journey as a short trip to Penang. At least, I had a meal there before I come back to Ipoh.<br />
<br />
After my Penang interview, my father went for a surgery and he needs a long time for recovery. Hence, I need to stay close to my home to take care of my father and help my mum in the night market. In that tough time, I was so stressed as I can't go far to get a job. Plus, the low salary matter contributes to the feeling as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://c3.yousaytoo.com/rss_temp_image/pics/65/56/13/5192365/original/remote_image20101220-21343-1w4vdei-0.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://c3.yousaytoo.com/rss_temp_image/pics/65/56/13/5192365/original/remote_image20101220-21343-1w4vdei-0.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
On the other side, I found out that some of my friend mocked me about my job hunting. So called I was showing off and even dared to repost my FB status, make it as a joke and wish that I can't get a proper job. If they were taking it as their entertainment, I don't like it. Seriously, it sounds that you're looking me where I'm a very bad person and a person that treats for gossips and centre of the attention. I've been in that state before I met them. I arise from those negative looks and I don't mind doing it again but you have change my point-of-view on you. In the end, there's no change when I look at you on that way. Consider me that I've blacklisted you and I will just ignore your presence in future. Even that I'm not as good as other people, I'm proud of what I have done, what I'm doing and what I'm going to do because this is me, not other people. And I'm proud of people who thinks the same on themselves.<br />
<br />
Okay, end of the blurps on these people. Back to the real story. As for last week, finally I got the call from UTAR for lab officer position. I even changed the two interviews on that day for the sake of it. Well, two of interviewers were happened to be my lecturers. Not to mentioned, one of them video-cam with me from PJ campus. In the session, I was asked by those general interview questions, and including identifying a glassware.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chemlab/techniques/graphics/vol_flask/vol_flask1.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.dartmouth.edu/~chemlab/techniques/graphics/vol_flask/vol_flask1.gif" /></a></div><br />
Volumetric flask. 50 mL (not as pictured above). And with glass stopper on it.<br />
<br />
I know what it was but being asked further about preparing certain concentration and some formulae to do it. Simple. He was giving a smile and little knuckles, looks positive. Then, the main question comes by asking me how long would I spend here and my willingness to work more than 5 days. Since the campus is not far from my home, I agreed and willing to do it. Plus, I might move back to Kampar after a few months when my father is fully recovered. At the end of the session, I was being told to wait for a week whether I will get this job or not. I think it will be a 50% chance as there are another two person applying for the same position. Hope that I can get it and start working as soon as possible.<br />
<br />
I think I will end this post for now. On next week, I will go for the postponed interviews in Penang but I hope to receive the good news from UTAR before I go to Penang. All the best and I'm wish good luck to my coursemates who were just started working, or still seeking job like me. Just be prepared expect the unexpected and wait for them.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't know there's a few of people in my life who kept thinking about 'Why's on my decision.

Yesterday, I hardly sleep not because of my freaking aircond.<br />
<br />
My aircond works fine since monday.<br />
<br />
It's because I was hungry at night...<br />
<br />
I'm having a jobless and boring life and lastly...<br />
<br />
I downloaded some movies yesterday.<br />
<br />
Can't hold my urge to watch it but anyway, I slept afterwards while the movie kept running but without voice. I watch and read the subs.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm awake when I heard my mother talk to someone. Jump from my bed and have 2 chugs of water.<br />
<br />
I'm like a cat who has wake up in sudden by a very, very bad dream....<br />
<br />
Like the above.<br />

JobStreet.com has been second favourite place after Facebook. I've been going to that site everyday like my homepage. Darn, it's not <u>easy</u> to find a job and hope that you got selected. Currently, I'm waiting being called or mailed for job interview. So far, no news from my two submissions.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ZXyiItD-09U-qkOGFRoryKRvZMOVkSy_dlfvwMxCzFTCoRtL8UUg_rp9bIoKtNh9mS6CYc-JBnyKNqzV-XYTplsMv4DEJq_3Xk_qaib0I8TJmqhloalhUtNW2ELHLej81cRodI_WmiRY/s1600/Bored-Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7ZXyiItD-09U-qkOGFRoryKRvZMOVkSy_dlfvwMxCzFTCoRtL8UUg_rp9bIoKtNh9mS6CYc-JBnyKNqzV-XYTplsMv4DEJq_3Xk_qaib0I8TJmqhloalhUtNW2ELHLej81cRodI_WmiRY/s400/Bored-Logo.jpg" width="398" /></a></div><br />
Pfft. It's very boring to stay at home, just doing house chores everyday and become my mother's chauffeur whenever she goes. Recently, I just feel that I don't want to touch my car and go outside. I don't know and it weirds because I hardly use my car for the past three years as I wasn't driving in university vicinity. Perhaps the long travels shifting my stuffs back from Kampar has sickening me since then.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://media.freefundoo.com/Get/Greetings/I-Miss-You/I-Miss-You-86.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://media.freefundoo.com/Get/Greetings/I-Miss-You/I-Miss-You-86.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Yeah. Finally, I have shifted back all my stuffs to my house. I miss my room and it has served me very well for the pass two years. Hopefully, the next occupant will treat you nice and sound. I also miss my room back when I stayed in Westlake. I heard that until today it has not being occupied. In short, I gonna miss Kampar (if I'm not going to work there).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTycdZk7h4P74f3NTyD59z4A01Ja7m1iOgeA5NSlD2nV8iNlu6vZkGOUNZLn6T3cAbt4H6c_AjvzJ7kJCKTEpRmutJbhKer1I8z2suhRzUYl1TV7RMDH1wztM9YWPYsCxqnKQs8nWP430/s1600/hireme+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTycdZk7h4P74f3NTyD59z4A01Ja7m1iOgeA5NSlD2nV8iNlu6vZkGOUNZLn6T3cAbt4H6c_AjvzJ7kJCKTEpRmutJbhKer1I8z2suhRzUYl1TV7RMDH1wztM9YWPYsCxqnKQs8nWP430/s1600/hireme+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Okay, back to my job scavenging matter. It's hard to find one especially when you want (or <u>asked to</u>) stick in your hometown. I found two which are quite near to my house and need not much time for travels. Both are coincidently my favourite which deals with polymer and environmental science. The environmental company are seeking for radiation analyst but it's compatible with my qualifications.<br />
<br />
If still no one hires me in Perak, I'm gonna think moving out either Penang or KL. My first choice is Penang as the living cost there is not as high as KL.<br />
<br />
If not, I go to Fukushima to become radiation analyst there.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://a.abcnews.com/images/Health/gty_fukushima_radiation_jef_110405_wg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://a.abcnews.com/images/Health/gty_fukushima_radiation_jef_110405_wg.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
He he.<br />
<br />
Anyway, Jobstreet has a feature where job applicant can get priority by getting attention by fellow employers. It's called 'Priority Application'. I don't know how effective that this feature can capture the attention of people who wants to hire you. Is it like this?<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, should or shouldn't I get this feature? I need to spend either RM 25 or 50 to get it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I'm OFFICIALLY declare myself as a graduate now!<br />
<br />
The jump in the picture above is worthed it as today I viewed my final examination result. Although, I stuck in Second Lower Honour since my first year, I don't mind it as long as I can pass my three years in UTAR and celebrate my convocation with my fellow coursemates. For those are still pursuing, I miss you guys and hope you do your best on upcoming semester. With or without us in convocation ceremony, we still indeed know each other and became coursemates. Bon voyage, guys!<br />
<br />
For pass few days, I was worried about one paper which I'm not prepared at the first place but it merely pass. Last Wednesday, I collect my first publishment which is my thesis...<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My maroon baby here. Tee hee. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It's been a long journey to make this thesis book and don't ask me how I survived in this period. It's a long story and I'm also asking myself <i>"Did I wrote this book?"</i> because when I look at it, I can't believe those words in it is written in such way. I just know that I wrote this book before 2 weeks of first draft submission dateline. Initially, it was around 70 pages so it's a hard time for me to write it in such short time. Anyhow, thanks to my previous <i>"Foong Jee Lip"</i> who made early research job and citations in tonnes of books and journals which facilitated my 2 rushy weeks. In the end, this 86 pages thesis book is done and it looks handsome. Love it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I wanna make a short summary about my three years life in UTAR Kampar.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>First Year Semester One</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><ol><li>I enrolled to UTAR with the help of my senior who are based in UTAR Sg. Long. Asking her a lot of things about UTAR and she prepared me very well with guidances. </li>
<li>Started blogging in Friendster and later shift to Blogger which is the origin of this blog.</li>
<li>I came to UTAR Kampar with a music partner (no other intimate relationship in this matter) of mine. Started about three weeks and gotten some complications and minor misunderstanding with her. I'm sorry that both of us have to stay apart and I hope she will do well in her journey. </li>
<li>Meet new coursemates. First, meet Bong Sze Hao and Teo Chea Lin. And being introduced to other fellow coursemates as well. About like 10 to 15 people.</li>
<li>I was admitted to hospital due to some health complications. Friends were helpful to help me shifting my stuffs to second home.</li>
<li>Some minor fight and misunderstanding among coursemates with my fellow friends. Helped, confused and end in a complicated manner. Not in my control anyway.</li>
<li>Fail my first paper in General Physics but manage to survive my Algebra & Calculus subject.</li>
<li>Happy to get an A- for my first laboratory subject.</li>
<li>Planning to move out, again.</li>
</ol><div><b>First Year Semester Two</b></div><div><ol><li>Not much difference than semester one except after having a 3 months long semester break which is kinda boring.</li>

<li>Know more fellow coursemates from activities.</li>
<li>Resit my General Physics paper. Obtained astonishing result of getting a B+ for it.</li>
<li>Have difficulty on Ancillary Statistic subject but with the help of my lecturer and friends, I survived this paper.</li>
<li>A bit down when I see my laboratory subject when to B+</li>
<li>Close to a chinese lecturer who taught Pengajian Malaysia *surprised?*. Bid farewell to him.</li>
</ol><div><b>Second Year Semester One</b></div></div><div><ol><li>Having a lecturer who taught Environmental Science & Technology I which is quite similar to my Chemistry teacher back in Form 6. Demanding but emotionally control. Her notes were merely pictures and a few points of notes. Extra notes were written myself. Got a B+ for her paper and it's NOT tough.</li>
<li>Still not satisfied with my laboratory subject. Got B+</li>
<li>Have first elective paper: Organisation & Human Resource. Last minute revision for finals but got a B.</li>
<li>Enrolled to French class. Good teacher but sadly I lost my language cert.</li>
<li>A friend of mine advised me to know more people in the course. Friends were increased since then.</li>
<li>Coursemates reckon that I'm a quite a techie in computer stuffs. Start asking me to fix computers in the class or theirs.</li>
<li>Gotten a Twitter account and activately updated until today.</li>
</ol><div><b>Second Year Semester Two</b></div></div><div><ol><li>Not much differences but the subjects were getting tougher.</li>
<li>First time having an African lecturer from Nigeria. Very kind and scored an A- for his paper.</li>
<li>Failed to achieve back my laboratory subject. Still B+ and it's final.</li>
<li>Became part of the EXCO member of newly established Chemistry Society. Pile of jobs but enjoy back the moment of doing society stuffs. Learn lots of official things between the society and UTAR, and improved leadership skills. Get more friends from other faculties and courses.</li>
</ol><div><b>Third Year Semester One</b></div></div><div><ol><li>Anticipating the project supervisor selection. Got what I want which is environmental studies of polymer and started a careful and organise plannings. Had guide from my senior.</li>
<li>Love Environmental Science & Technology II subject and got a B- for it.</li>
<li>A sudden heavy task on Factory visit but manage to savage it in last minute. Tested my ability to the max.</li>
<li>Got a new handphone, E71. Have more guts to travel alone in KL city with its free GPS navigations.</li>
<li>Didn't expected to travel to UTAR Setapak to do my project. Enjoy it though.</li>
<li>Got a rough fight with my sister. Silent moment between us until now. Not much talk about it.</li>
</ol><div><b>Third Year Semester Two</b></div></div><div><ol><li>No 3 months break as I stayed in Kampar to finalise my lab session of my projects. Manage to end it before Chinese New Year. Got positive outcome from it.</li>
<li>Got a MySpace as a precaution step if Facebook is banned in Malaysia. In the end, no ban.</li>
<li>Recognising two tough subjects. Indeed, they are very tough.</li>
<li>Sudden problem among friends. Helped but useless and wasted my effort. No apologies accepted forget the existence of that person. No hope for such person.</li>
<li>Didn't attend my course pre-grad dinner due to money constraint. Instead, meeting up with an anonymous junior. Glad to help him.</li>
<li>Rush my thesis writing in 2 weeks time. Got a B+ for overall project. Not as I expected but it's fine.</li>
<li>Trouble in one course but a relief after getting the final result.</li>
<li>Having first big trip with friends to Cameron Highlands. Got experience in using a DSLR.</li>
</ol><div>So, consider this as a summary? It's really a summary but long ones. There are certain events which I'm not quite remember but they remains in my memory. Some of it I wish not to mention as well. Anyhow, in this three years time, I can say it's a rough ride. There were smiles and tears behind these years and yet I managed to get over it. As I promised to my family and my beloved grandfather, I will prove myself that I can be a degree student in future.</div></div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm happy that I did it. And I wish to do more. Due to my result, my supervisor advised me to gain some working experience first before I continue my studies in future. I hope that my passion to further my studies will not fade away when I'm working. For now, I just need to browse more job options around the net and get one in short time. I miss lab sessions. I miss analysing things with concepts and theories. I miss popping up questions and giving possible answers in lab reports. Whatever I miss, it deals with lab.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Before I end my post, I would like to thank to all my lecturers and tutors who taught me in UTAR!</div><div><br />
</div><div><div>Dr. Aissa Boudjella</div><div>Ir. Chan Cheong Loong</div><div>Ms. Chan Poh Ying</div><div>Ms. Cheah Lee Fong</div><div>Dr. Chee Swee Yong</div><div>Ms. Cheng Siew May</div><div>Mr. Chin Hong Soon</div><div>Mr. Frankie Tey Chee Chieh</div><div>Ms. Geetha A/P Veerappan</div><div>Dr. Ha Sie Tiong</div><div>Dr. Hnin Pwint Aung</div><div>Mr. Ihediwa Samuel Chibundu</div><div>Ms. Kemmy Foo Kam Mee</div><div>Dr. Khoo Kong Soon</div><div>Mr. Lee Eng Heng</div><div>Mr. Lee How Chinh</div><div>Dr. Lim Chang Kiang</div><div>Dr. Lim Tuck Meng</div><div>En.

</div><div>You shaped me, teach me and guide me to become a degree student of Chemistry. I will always remember you all! Not forgetting, the other coursemates and friends. Thanks for being there for me when I need you guys. You guys rocks and I have no regrets to meet you all. Maybe a small regret to minorities but they taught me the existence of such people in my life. Friends or foes, still a thanks.</div><div><br />

It's quite famous these days when we are talking about social networking. I'm sure the first word that pop ups in your mind about is "Facebook". Sorry to say that certain countries has banned the usage of Facebook but I can say Facebook indeed a very good place to find friends, reconnect with old ones and making business interactions.<br />
<br />
It's true that nowadays most of the companies like Apple and even McDonalds have their Facebook pages. It's essential for them to have such thing as they can acquire feedbacks and comments just a few clicks of buttons on keyboard from their respective customers. Plus, the adverts carried out in social networking is very effective and viral as we know that interesting stuffs can attract fellow internet users by their headlines and summarised description.<br />
<br />
Another social networking site that kinda do the same but with added mobility and simplicity features. Let me hint you. "140 characters left".<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpm6CmlRUizFXaFzxtBpwf-FJmneVUFKFLKoXsPjZFIdYKeWGrLHvPoK3KB-_sI5nowwy3IV8hM7OcWd5BgMG5_vilo2P2nV4y89BXCf3JjMwRKp3RafL5RkHib4gntnjocQIKBf2McRjQ/s400/twitter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpm6CmlRUizFXaFzxtBpwf-FJmneVUFKFLKoXsPjZFIdYKeWGrLHvPoK3KB-_sI5nowwy3IV8hM7OcWd5BgMG5_vilo2P2nV4y89BXCf3JjMwRKp3RafL5RkHib4gntnjocQIKBf2McRjQ/s400/twitter.jpg" /></a></div><br />
If you are a hip in social networking, it's Twitter.<br />
<br />
Yes. It's very good and a necessity for a blogger to have. For me, I have no time in the pass to write blog posts as most of my readers demanded more pictures rather than words. In the addition of editing each pictures that I'm going to post and thinking the post contents that is enthusiastic, it's a long duration job. So, Twitter is helpful as a microblog. To go to my Twitter account, you go to have a look and follow me by clicking one of the tab above my site.<br />
<br />
Since last year, my advert revenue provider, Nuffnang has opened another sister company called ChurpChurp. Let me explain how it works.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af226/bean367/churpchurp_logo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af226/bean367/churpchurp_logo.png" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Just like Nuffnang, ChurpChurp will receive requests from people to put out their ads. So, instead of working in blogs and websites, ChurpChurp dominates the social networking world like Facebook, Twitter and so on. Because we used to spread news and updates to our friends, it's another good way to spread these advertisements. Even you don't have a Twitter account, Facebook and other stuffs such as Vimeo, Yahoo and Youtube can be your portal to spread adverts.<br />
<br />
To start, you just need to post their adverts with your personalised words and certain tag words that the advertiser requires such as tagwords in Twitter or given shortlinked websites. You just tweet or updates all the way until you got clicks from your friends or your own when you or your friends saw the interesting offer from your updates. Let the pictures do the talk, shall we? :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1urwajUnmnFU6Yh_bsOP6JbjHrjZ2p8x1f3q23K69GzDHU-0TdpAGD7rO7Y0t3nYU9wBxLK18dFjCTAlFIDJLFiTd2Ij4STGvByFdZy_kJi8PU0klxIU-WbghX6dUcPRGVSNPOMFdLkt/s1600/churpchurp-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp1urwajUnmnFU6Yh_bsOP6JbjHrjZ2p8x1f3q23K69GzDHU-0TdpAGD7rO7Y0t3nYU9wBxLK18dFjCTAlFIDJLFiTd2Ij4STGvByFdZy_kJi8PU0klxIU-WbghX6dUcPRGVSNPOMFdLkt/s1600/churpchurp-1.JPG" /></a></div><br />
That's simple.<br />
<br />
About the earning, you have to earn until RM 100 at least for cash out and how do you earn it? I'm still confused on it but I'm earning currently day by day. This earning method is only applicable to Malaysians and Singaporeans currently.<br />
<br />
Since I'm sure that most of people can't live without internet and especially Facebook or Twitter like me. Making it as a 'Must-do' daily basis. In fact, my homepage is Facebook.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY37L7Ygkeo/TdAekiIj_oI/AAAAAAAAASs/pF-D0qYl900/s1600/facebook-addiction1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wY37L7Ygkeo/TdAekiIj_oI/AAAAAAAAASs/pF-D0qYl900/s400/facebook-addiction1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Like pumping drugs of social networking. It's simple to spend 5 to 10 minutes spreading some adverts and earn day by day. Although it's very slow to earn at the first place but you will build up a sum of money. To startup, you can click the picture below or <b><a href="http://www.churpchurp.com/nigelfoong/share/churpchurp-invite/">here</a></b>.<br />

<b>Turn to earning little birdie (if you're a Twitter) by kicking out the old ones.</b> Good news for existing Nuffnangers that you need not to do new registration. Just go to your Nuffnang status page and link from there.<br />

Hi guys! It's been exactly a week after my final test. I just got my draft thesis back and corrected it last night and it's looking good as it came back with lesser mistakes and need to additional words for my figures in the text.<br />
<br />
So currently I'm tuning back my body clock by having nap in the evening and wake up about 5-6 am everyday as I'm sleeping earlier. I just arrive back to my uni town (Kampar) and gonna pack a few things back later such as my thick reference books, piles of files of my previous 3 years degree momento and hopefully I get to see my supervisor to check out my lab stuffs. Now, even my master senior has got a job and move out from his office in the campus. Lucky him that he found a job but not his girlfriend who still undergo master studies.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in next week time, I will come back to Kampar occasionally to shift things back one by one and leaving soon my third home in Kampar. Sigh, it has been more than two years I stayed here and it's like just a glimpse for me as if I started staying yesterday back in 2009. Well, time really fly fast and I need to catch up to move on.<br />
<br />
So, I'm gonna update the previous to do list:-<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol><li><s>Varsity coursemate vacation to Cameron Highlands</s></li>
<li><s>A reunion from my former secondary school classmates</s></li>
<li>One or two trips with my family</li>
<li><s>Getting back my second draft of my thesis, make any modifications (if present) and finalised the hard copy of thesis</s></li>
<li>Attending my primary school classmate's wedding reception</li>
<li>Fixing computer</li>
<li>Looking for permanent job around Perak (if possible)</li>
<li>More to come...</li>
</ol><div>The list won't stop piling up in the future. For now, I just hope to get my final result and pass on to convocation without resit any papers. Pray hard for me...</div><div><br />
By the way guys, I'm on the weekly competition toward <b>Nikon D5100 Extra Ordinary Angle Contest</b> and I posted the picture above so please help to click "Like" button in this <a href="https://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fd5100.nikon-asia.com%2Fsubmissions%2F2391&h=c8b18">link</a>. I have another few uploads but this one steals the scene the most which I took it with D3000.<br />
<br />
A hopeful competition towards the winning of <b>Nikon D5100</b>.<br />

It's gonna a relief soon since I have another one test left. The one I love the most. So, after the test, there are tonnes of things to do such as:-<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol><li>Varsity coursemate vacation to Cameron Highlands</li>
<li>A reunion from my former secondary school classmates</li>
<li>One or two trips with my family</li>
<li>Getting back my second draft of my thesis, make any modifications (if present) and finalised the hard copy of thesis of three.</li>
<li>Attending my primary school classmate's wedding reception</li>
<li>Fixing computer</li>
<li>Looking for permanent job around Perak (if possible)</li>
<li>Much more...</li>
</ol><div>The list can go on and on without any warnings so I must be prepared. Talking about my previous exam, my ACC exam went bizarre so I hope I won't get any bad news from it. I want to grad with my beloved coursemates and straight to get a permanent job.</div><div><br />
</div><div>In the mean time, I still got the last revision for my finals. So wish me good luck and hope that I can end my varsity life as I need to move on to another chapter of life.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Reminding me of one of my former coursemate <a href="http://seeds-of-pumpkin.blogspot.com/">Emel</a> asking me, "Will you change your blog name after you got graduated from UTAR?" Now, the answer will be "Maybe". Because if I'm staying in UTAR to work, it will remain the same plus I still want to help those people around the globe who wants to enrol to UTAR for further studies so yeah, "Maybe". If not, I already prepared a new name for my blog.<br />
</div><div>Wait till you see my decision. The future is the answer of everything.</div><div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Just passed by the second week and now I'm in the third week in Kampar. Now, just stealing some time to blog a bit on my experience lately. I had passed the two tests:- Entrepreneurship and The Industrial Organic & Natural Products Chemistry paper which on last Friday and Tuesday (this week). I had a rough ride in the revision and seems all are in the last minutes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For entrepreneurship paper, I hope I can score since the paper is not that bad. I like the case study because it's understandable and easy to find the points that I want to write for the questions. Comparing to the previous case study I had in OHR paper, I hate it. The case study is about soccer team management. Why I hate it? First, I'm not a fan of soccer and second, I don't understand even a single things in soccer sports team. All I know is there is a goalkeeper and other ball chasing dudes (players). But somehow, I did go on that paper.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On the second paper (Organic chemistry), I had a hard feeling during the revision because there are tonnes of things to practice and memorise. No, according to my lecturer, it's not memorising but it's recognising it. Duh, it means the same but sound better because the word 'memorise' is the hard way to study. So, in the end, the paper is quite tough. Manage to savage those questions I know plus those who I shoot randomly with my M-16 in my mind. In the end, I found that I wrote quite a lot of serendipity answers. The answers that make sense to me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Now, I'm still preparing myself of the next paper which is gonna happen in the next few hours. Another tough ones but I hope I can deal it. The last paper is Polymer Chemistry which is my strongest Science course I had for these last semester. It is because I prep myself earlier for this course as it helps my final year project on thesis writing. Thanks to my senior, Elaine who borrowed me with her notes plus minor guidances on the side notes.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay. I think I blurt quite long in such a short time. Till then, wait for my next post on my final week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">P.S.: I'm a bit homesick now and it has struck me since last week. So, I miss my daddy and mommy. Hope that my staying in Kampar is worthful for the sake of the damn finals.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another small post of mine. Yeah, 3 weeks ahead and that's the end of my journey in my 3 years degree life. Currently, I'm preparing myself now for my 'final' finals and I will say bye bye to any written test in the future. No more written test and that's it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, now I just having a break while my oven is cooking my chicken and waiting to have my dinner. About the previous emo and dull periods, it's now officially an off case and I need to focus myself towards the end. First hope is on my result, hope it will be better. Second hope, I hope that my FYP get at least a B+ because I put lots of effort there as it carries 6 credit hours in two semester. Kinda a good news that my supervisor likes my thesis, not much a problem there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The last hope I counting on is to have a permanent job ASAP after my degree. Possible, as soon as end of June or early of July. I don't want to waste my time anymore so any place (hopefully it will be back in UTAR according to my <a href="http://howsmydayinutarkampar.blogspot.com/2011/03/4-weeks-left.html">previous post</a>) that can offers me, please do so. Opps, sounds more like I demand bosses to hire me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyway, time's up now peeps. Gonna continue my cooking, study and whatever comes to my mind now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ciao.</div>Nigel Foonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11410403180116866312noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2021898638897099686.post-541736752613346012011-03-28T00:24:00.000-07:002011-04-30T05:16:06.914-07:00Beware.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpsZv00sFJiIH8fbQxyew0qRM8MwILTNfO4nhads7cTaZuIhAmFZMMWNp92Ryf_VLps0Ttb2tohmGawbLdcLKllB1wgdSoqpf96KuXRjC9bF3N2Qdenz2KdXYAokisdENDAQuAcVkFlOk/s1600/backstabber.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpsZv00sFJiIH8fbQxyew0qRM8MwILTNfO4nhads7cTaZuIhAmFZMMWNp92Ryf_VLps0Ttb2tohmGawbLdcLKllB1wgdSoqpf96KuXRjC9bF3N2Qdenz2KdXYAokisdENDAQuAcVkFlOk/s400/backstabber.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><br />
Another short post I fillin' in.<br />
<br />
Yeah. Take caution, trust no one except yourself.<br />
<br />
Just kidding but we must take care ourselves among people we know. Backstabbers are around and it's undeniable.<br />
<br />
More precise word, <b><u>inevitable</u></b>.<br />
<br />
So, the backstabber I know can emo everyday. I recommended XXX to get a job as stars. XXX can do it very well. I'm not sure whether I can put my trust on XXX but it's a no no. End of story.<br />
<br />
Okay, I'm gonna hit my lecture class later. Perhaps, I can see XXX emo thingy again. Pfft.<br />
<br />
Ciao.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sharing something here for a while.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've just finished my Viva presentation of my final year project. It went well and smooth and kinda thank god for giving such a lucky day for me. So, still my thesis writing is on the move and realising that there are another 2 months for me to end my degree life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Yeah, that's 3 years in UTAR but I might be extending my stay for little longer. Perhaps another 2 or 3 years. Suprise? I planned to work in UTAR and I hope to the the job being lab officer in my own faculty. People asked me why I should stay? Emm, that's will be a longer story I need to say but I will tell you about it after I ended my degree.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For the pass few months, I face quite a lot of problems. Relationship problems on my family and friends sidea. From what I can see now, the problems will keep bothering me but I try to keep myself away from this issue and focus on what I need to focus now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, wish me luck ahead and see when I have short, tiny time like now to post.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sorry for not updating my stories here and hope you, my beloved blog readers will understand.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's (Another) Chinese New Year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nigelfoong/5410878564/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="cny by Nigel Foong, on Flickr"><img alt="cny" height="800" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5296/5410878564_299224e1b5_b.jpg" width="500" /></a></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">Happy Chinese New Year!</span></b></div><br />
Sigh. I can't believe that I've passed through 2010 and running forward on 2011. And here's come the CNY 2011. There's time for me now a bit sadness due to some family problem but hey, I hope I can get through this as I'm happy, happy, happy to have consecutive four days of festive celebration.<br />
<br />
Not forgetting about...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.seenobjects.org/images/mediumlarge/2005-02-09-chinese-new-year.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="263" src="http://www.seenobjects.org/images/mediumlarge/2005-02-09-chinese-new-year.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
My beloved ang pows. Not to be greedy but hopefully, I can get quite a sum from it.<br />
<br />
Not to mention, I have another two things (or more) things to do during CNY.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://voyager.dvc.edu/~kLong/226/media/PanacetinPrelab1-p1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://voyager.dvc.edu/~kLong/226/media/PanacetinPrelab1-p1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Lab report. Only one. I think I'm gonna do it tomorrow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.kdcomputerservicesinc.com/images/computer_repair2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://www.kdcomputerservicesinc.com/images/computer_repair2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Fixing somebody computer. I earned during this time. Tee hee. But kind of a disturbance but I'm promised my customer to do it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mythesis.co.uk/images/example-bindings/hardbound-theses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://www.mythesis.co.uk/images/example-bindings/hardbound-theses.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
My damn THESIS!!! I haven't really get on it. I'm doing a lot of patch work but I need to connect them! OMG, when I think of my supervisor, I really don't have a concrete answer for her about it. Erm, I think I can survive on it, but not in the last minute. This is a no-no game.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hotgiftideastips.com/images/Graduation_Hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://www.hotgiftideastips.com/images/Graduation_Hat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Anyway, after this CNY, I have a tough journey to pass. My once-in-a-lifetime journey. There'll be no second time. My graduation time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://gfrendz.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://gfrendz.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/1_01.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><br />
I heard from TV programme about Feng Shui Zodiac on 8TV. The sifu said those who are dragon zodiac will have a good fortune in this bunny year. For me, I have a good prospective on my workplace (which I'm gonna find after my degree study), meet a lot of seniors that can help me and <u><b>ahem</b></u>, a bit of luck in love relationship.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>We (dragon zodiacs) must take this opportunity to look for partners. It's a good time and don't miss it!</blockquote><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAQFjhiIMKbOZt-gdmosPAr-HP_QItQ6emC43N6OobtWoXBnfgUOBp_0J4gv0Qz9IYJtAYtvxa4mOG5ZOp8_hzYF7ap8vfl24kNfxIznlxIT3na6RES1QfC7TynVvPXKO-vUqU-sX-hkty/s1600/love-you-shirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAQFjhiIMKbOZt-gdmosPAr-HP_QItQ6emC43N6OobtWoXBnfgUOBp_0J4gv0Qz9IYJtAYtvxa4mOG5ZOp8_hzYF7ap8vfl24kNfxIznlxIT3na6RES1QfC7TynVvPXKO-vUqU-sX-hkty/s1600/love-you-shirt.jpg" /></a></div><br />
This is his words. So about me, erm, I think I just pass as I'm still in education line and I want to focus more on my path which builds up my foundation of my future life. That's why I said, no-no game time. About love, I think I just let it come on another time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://chethondo.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/dating.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://chethondo.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/dating.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Like wise, I still like to be a bachelor. Single with freedom. :P<br />
<br />
Okay! End my words now and heads up to my bed for the CNY Cho 1. Good night peeps and once again, <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL & HAVE A PROSPEROUS YEAR AHEAD. BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE OF YOU.</span></b><br />
<br />
A bientot!<br />
