After 1 week

View Comments


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.

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.

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.

So, I'm gonna update the previous to do list:-


  1. Varsity coursemate vacation to Cameron Highlands
  2. A reunion from my former secondary school classmates
  3. One or two trips with my family
  4. Getting back my second draft of my thesis, make any modifications (if present) and finalised the hard copy of thesis
  5. Attending my primary school classmate's wedding reception
  6. Fixing computer
  7. Looking for permanent job around Perak (if possible)
  8. More to come...
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...

By the way guys, I'm on the weekly competition toward Nikon D5100 Extra Ordinary Angle Contest  and I posted the picture above so please help to click "Like" button in this link. I have another few uploads but this one steals the scene the most which I took it with D3000.

A hopeful competition towards the winning of Nikon D5100.

Opps. A tear down but the feature that interest me is the swivel pop up screen. If not, at least I might win the weekly price of Nikon CaptureNX2 software.

You can join as well by simply connect the contest site to your Facebook account and send your original shot (from your camera, not edited ones). But remember...

    5 Reasons

    View Comments

    It seems that lots of people are looking forward to this contest and it's no exceptional for me! Actually, I was my first time to post a blog for contest after Nuffnang have given so many contests. So, I bet my luck on it...
    So, what are the 5 reasons to have a BlackBerry Storm 9520?

    (1) I'm using a old phone.

    ... and it seems to start have problems! Comparing other opponents in this contest, no one can beat mine. Many of them are having nice, colour displayed, multimedia and GPRS function but not like mine. Same case when my friends look on my phone... :(

    Here's my Nokia 2300.
    1
    Hopefully I will find other contestants to have much older phone than me such as Nokia 3310 and so on... :P
    2
    I've been using this phone since 2006 and it has been four years with me. It's also my first phone that I bought with my own money.

    "RM 450"

    I still remember the price!

    So, what the basic functions of this phone? Making phone calls and SMSes are definitely on it. A bit funky polyphonic ringtones (only 5 of them and they are the default ones!) and the best feature is it has a built-in radio.
    3
    Still working but start to have problems. I've expected the maximum lifetime of my phone is about 5 years. So, now what? Four years? Emm, I'm prepared...
    4
    I can't totally protect my phone with bumps and drops. Sure it will leave some scratches...
    5
    Dust inside the phone is another problem. So, I can say is Nokia Xpress-on shell sucks!
    6
    So, what's gonna be?

    Answer: Get a new phone.

    (2) I prefer BlackBerry than iPhone.
    19
    When I first hear about BlackBerry, all I can see is most of the phones have the tiny little QWERTY keypads. When iPhone arrives, all the mobile phone manufacturers starts to implement the concept of touch screen phone.
    Actually, I adore iPhones. I like their apps; their multi-touch with flick, zoom and taps; its embedded iPod and so and so... :)

    When the Apple iPhones arrives to Malaysia under Maxis, I changed my mind. The price was too expensive and it's not reasonable at all.

    So, I'm focusing on phones such as Nokia E71,72,73 and BlackBerry. As a result, BlackBerry is not a bad idea! Price + performance = Reasonable
    7
    In this case, Celcom is currently promoting BlackBerry Storm 9250. Nice and beautiful just like iPhone.
    8
    Yeah! I like its boldness and not forgetting it's stormy looks! :D
    9
    I think it can works like iPhone but I would like to use it as a productivity. So, iPhone has been crossed out in my wishlist!

    (3) I want to become a real-time and full-time blogger.

    Since I was in my university life, I started to blog about my things such as experiences in the process to become an Chemistry undergraduate. I shared a lot and meet a lots of friends. Plus, I enjoy reading famous bloggers such as Nicolekiss, my first fav blogger with her traveling stories, Fourfeetnine with her 'WTFs' and recently, Xiaxue.

    Hardly you can find me reading a male blogger because I kinda like gals to do the blogging job. They have more passion to write their stories comparing to guys. So, no hard feelings to male bloggers. :)
    16
    I need a phone which can enable me to write blog in real-time without waiting by typing my post in notebook. I might miss something to write and it requires me to recall them... For example, now I'm taking the job where I need to update my course blogs for announcements and files distribution.

    UTAR WBLE is terrible. Ask UTAR students and they will tell you the 'experience'.

    Enough said. Period.

    (4) Love at the first sight

    Cameraphone

    12
    Being a blogger, I believe that photos can speak more than the text. Plus, I'm an avid photographer and I carry my camera, Kodak along whenever I go. Shopping, lecture classes, loitering and even in restaurants.

    So, instead of carrying a bulky camera in your pocket, why don't we use a camera phone.

    You might not going to capture super nice picture but it can be an emergency when you see a moment that you want to capture. Moments don't wait for people as they go along with time.

    So, this BB (instead of calling BlackBerry) has 3.2 megapixel with the flash. I saw photos taken by BB phones before and they are okay. Not-to-perfect-and-yet-not-so-terrible rating from me.

    Entertainment on my hand.
    13
    Believe it or not, I don't have a MP3 and MP4 player. I prefer to have such feature in my phone instead. Plus, I won't hurt my wallet by spending extra thing for another separate devices except for camera.
    14
    When I look at it, it was gorgeous.
    15
    It's cool as if I'm having an iPhone!

    Paper-less organizer.
    11
    I've the principle of saving the environment. Minus plastics and more on biodegradable materials. I think that by using a PDA instead of an organizer book can reduce the usage of paper. Plus, I can save my energy without jotting down words and sentences...

    GPS & BlackBerry Maps
    10
    I remember the last time I was driving to KL and tried to reach my uncle's house with my written instructions. Well, I almost going to Putrajaya instead of Sri Petaling. That time, I sweared that I won't stay and work in big cities like KL.

    Since I didn't travel much, I think it's an essential to have a GPS system either in a standalone GPS device, GPS software in phone or GPS in your car console. So, this BB has it!

    and last but not least, the fifth reason!

    (5) I want to win this phone!
    17
    Hopefully Nuffnang or Celcom would let me win this phone...
    18
    ...then my life will be much easier.

    *praying*

    So, you can win this BB from Celcom by making a post on your blog about BlackBerry® Storm™ 9520 by Celcom. The contest starts from 5-25 February which means you still have less that two weeks to do that. Send your permalink and your full name to celcombbstorm2@nuffnang.com once you have your post done!

    Why wait? Be a part of the storm! Roar~

    A bientot!

    Sad but yet happy.

    View Comments

    I've joined a photography competition and submitted 5 photos.
    In the first filtration, my 3 photos have been kick out...
    Wonder why...
    Siok San, I cannot give you a treat since I've promised that if I win, you will get a treat! T.T
    Never mind.

    In the top 30, I waited for my photo anxiously to be selected.
    In the end, 1 photo was kicked out.
    I'm in tense and my last photo is in Top 20.
    Considering that I'm using digital camera, Kodak Easyshare M883, my camera can be like DSLRs because most of the Top 20 photos were taken by DSLRs.
    Not bad!

    One of the judge approached me and ask:

    Judge: So, your photo is still there ar?
    Me: Erm, yes.
    Judge: Emm, not bad. It's hard to get into Top 20 eventually but consider your photo is nice and quality.
    Me: Yeah yeah...
    Judge: So, what is your DSLR? Canon?
    Me: Erm... I don't have DSLR. I took the picture using my Kodak.

    The judge give me a weird look as if he didn't believe my words...
    Then, he go back to his position to other judges.

    So, my best photo is...
    Nice? I hope I can do better in next photo competition in the future.
    Love my parents for giving Kodak last years in my 21st birthday!
    Kodak, kaulah permata hatiku!

    By the way, this is the 100th post for the blog!
    Can't imagine that I have 100 posts of my rantings, experience and stuffs I shared in this blog!
    More and more to come in the future (even I've graduate from UTAR)
    Some one ask me before, what happen to my blog after I graduate?
    Simple.
    I just keep it as usual because this blog is telling the life of an undergraduate of chemistry student in Kampar! Nothing will change my blog until I decide to retire and let go off my blog...

    Â bientôt!
