The Carousel of life

Life is a waterfall,
We’re once in the river and once again after the fall,
Stand Still, The weak will fall,
This rule apply to all,

Life runs at one shot,
It’s irreversible; no undo, no replay,
Weaknesses is a gift, not a curse,
Blame not on the One,
God created us in His image,
He made no mistake,


Life’s full of Shit,
I know; view it in a different way,
Everything happens for a reason,
Blame not on the One,
For He had written the story long before time,
He made no mistake.


Life’s isn’t perfect like in the movies,
Neither has it run in steady state,
It’s something we shouldn’t forget,
Always consider variable changes,

Life’s full of hopes, dreams and wishes,
But time spent wishing is time wasted,
It’s all about taking chances,
Seize it, or left it wasted.

Hold on to what you stand for,
For it defines you from one another,
Keep it; treasure it in your chest,
Guard it with your very best,

The Loser part II

This is part II for the loser; I just wanted to update my weight loss program. Below are my pictures before I came to UTP (about a week before I coming back to campus after internship) somewhere in early July ,2010. At that time my weight was about 88kg.



And below are my current picture (Specifically taken on November 3rd, 2010, in my room in UTP). My current weight is 74kg.


Hehe I was verry happy with my achievement and paln to lose until I reach my ideal weight..and hopefully get a nice lean figure :)

To gain for me it was easy, (well actually because I have an animal appetite) haha..but losing weight man it was damn hard! But all my hard work had payed off and I am kindda like shocked of how big no..not big, big is not the word..more like how huge I was back then in July after internship!!!!!!

It hit me when I weigh myself at home. Seriously? 88kg! I was like “Damn Phil! You are so damn fat! You better do something! ASAP! “.

It’s been a tough few months for me to actually lose from 88kg to 74kg. Ito be honest I do not have the dedication to work out or doing cardio every day. Trust me I hated it as much as I hate pineapple.

But I said to myself “Phil, it’s not going to work if you do not try” to me it was just the matter of I do it or I don’t! So, I take my chances I decided to start jogging every evening, sometimes swim (at the beginning of August only then I stop swimming), hit the gym for some time with my buddies (but not frequent). But now I still continue to jog almost every evening. I also do take some supplements to help me to lose weight and surprisingly, when it all combined together, I get a satisfying results.

To lose weight I also have to diet, I eat more vegetables and meat, reduce my carb intake (ie less eating rice) and try to control my piranha appetite.

This is just to share my experience and I hope to inspire others as well.

A Final Year Story

It’s been a while since I update my blog. Just a little updates from me here hehe 


Lately I’ve been busy with my Final Year Design Project I (FYDP I) and gosh I was REALLY REALLY hectic and stressful. I’m glad it is all over now phew! For the last three weeks I’ve spent most of my time in iCON lab for almost 8-12 hours per day for a week doing simulations PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) plant.

At first it was okay, towards the end, you’ll get some error where your simulation can’t converged and trust me it was really fucked up. Then you have to solve each error one by one and start it all over again until there are no more error. Wait! That’s only the first part, the second part is where you have to introduce the recycle stream oh yeah baby and the same frustrating shit occurs again and again.

Okay after recycling is over the next fucked up is to doing the heat integration (HI) where you recover the heat and oh yeah things will gets better and better for you!! (Well, just the total opposite of that actually) after the HI is done you have to redesign your process flow diagram (PFD) that you initially done and you apply the corresponding HI that you’ve made previously into it! Trust me, it’ll make you puke, faint, sick, and everything related that makes your life miserable. Below are my iCON simulation before and after HI see the difference?
(PET iCON simulation before HI)

(PET iCON simulation after HI)


When it’s all finished, you have to present it. And Oh yeah the ass whooping time! That’s what I’d like to call it. No matter how confident you are, how good your design is, it doesn’t matter, you still get your ass kicked , knocked out or at least get a slap! as it is for me, well since I’m a guy it’s kindda like erm..someone slap your balls or I dunno if you are a woman, maybe it was like a light punch on the boobs? (I’m just saying). Obviously, after the presentation almost everyone is in a breakdown mode/fucked up mode/shitty mode or something equivalence to that feeling. Yeah I was down after the presentation, I’m not gonna lie however I’m glad the ass whooping session is over..well at least for that time.

It does not stop there, you still have a report to do! I swear on J.Lo’s butt it’s the worst report I’ve done in my entire life!! Even though it’s a group work, the work load is still to much. Almost every day I slept at 3 - 4am finishing my part for the report and not to mention I have to study for some incoming test/Final year project (FYP) oral presentation and FYP Interim report. Finally, on November 2nd, we submitted report and phew!!!!!!!!!!! What a relief!!!

Well that’s my update for the past three weeks and now I’m free like an eagle baby! Yeah!
