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!

This is my dream watch. A true precision engineering masterpiece. A watch inspired by japanese katana sword.

The Loser part 1

The History:

In my 2nd year 1st semester my weight is 92kg in January 2008 and being in that fat body is very hard, I have low self esteem and lack of confidence of myself. Then in my 2nd year 2nd semester after the fucked up part of my life had over, on October 2008 , I’ve dropped my weight to 72kg! in 3rd year 1st semester my weight increases and I’ve maintained it within 73-75kg. in 3rd year 2nd year Semester, I had my internship back in Sarawak and I had enjoyed my life so much that I gain weight. Towards the end of my internship my weight is 88kg.

Now.

After my internship I came back to UTP and once I’ve reached UTP, after I unpacked my stuff, I measure my weight, my weight is still 88kg! That is such a humiliation, I used to weight 72kg 2 years back and from that point I set my goals before 26th September,2010 my weight will reduced to at least 75kg at least. Unfortunately I am not determined enough to achieve the 75kg target and my weight now is 78kg. I’m 3kg away for my target. The achievement is such a huge disappointment to me. However I determined to lose mo weight. I do not want to caught up in body full of fat that restricts my movements, I want to increase my confidence level and most importantly I want to feel good about myself.

The Target:

The target is that in four(4) months from now, prior to my birthday I would like to have my 72kg back at least or lower. I want my weight to be ideal and it’s my 2011 present.

Let’s do this!!!! Come on Phil!!

Horology : A General Perspective

There are many definitions of horology availabe but in general horology is the art of science of measuring time. The word horology is derived from the greek word ὥρα, "hour, time" and Greek: λόγος, logos, "study, speech". Clocks, watches, clockwork, sundials, clepsydras, timers, time recorders and marine chronometers are all examples of instruments used to measure time. This time I would like to share my interest of the world of horology, my interest in watches. Let us learn some basic things about watches to be specific; its framework or in other words "anatomy" hehe. The pictures shown below are the watch "anatomy"

 

I hope the picture above is clear and understandable for all of us :). Besides that, for watches there are basically 4 types of watches that is basically available in the market.

a)  Analog watch

b) Digital watch

c) Combo/ana-digi watch.(combindation of analog and digital)

d) Pocket watch

The figures are as shown in the figure below:

 Besides that there are two terminology used in watch strap which are strap and bracelet. The term strap refers to watch strap that made of rubber, leather, plastic or fabrics. Meanwhile the terms bracelet refers to watch strap made of steel ( gold, titanium, stainless steel etc.)

Well I guess that would be all for now, I'll update it again soon...

A story of how I met her

This is just a simple story of how I met my beloved girl friend.

It was August 15th, 2009, I was in my second year and that day is the day that my friends and I went to Kota Kinabalu, specifically Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) for an event called National Chemical Engineering Symposium (NACES). I still remember vividly in my mind, we arrived there at about 2pm. It was my first time to UMS and it is a pretty big campus compared to UTP. We settled down for registration for NACES and after that we went to the provided place to stay at near Likas stadium. The place was disappointing and my friends and I decided to stay at Azlan’s place.

After that we went back to UMS for NACES ice-breaking session. We went into a big hall (I forgot what’s the name already) and was divided into groups. Then, the ice-breaking session begins and we start to play some ice-breaking games and someone had caught my attention. She was there, standing and talking to her friends, with her sweet smile and I was like “wow that is one sweet smile”(my heart giggles..hihihi). At first, I taught she was my ex schoolmate because she looks familiar to me. Then, I said to myself “Alright Phil! Go and talk to her”, but I am too shy! (omg! Since when did I started to shy?-This is what my friends always say).

Then, there is this one game where a guy is picked and standing in the middle of a circle, and this guy have to run and pick up another person in the circle to replace him/her in the middle and the game is being played until the music stops. The person who is still standing after the music stops in the circle will get the “punishment” . There is one time I was picked as the standing man and I purposely pick a guy who sits next to her so that I can be next to her. Then, I was next to her and I spilled my guts out and said “Hi”, before she can say hi, some guys pick her up and I was like “argh!!!!!!!!! Potong stim btul!!”. And the game goes on and on until its ends. Cilakak btul! It was VERY DISAPPOINTING!

Then, it was break time, once again I said to myself “Alright dumbass go talk to her!” I was in doubt to talk to her. Then finally I said to myself “ Ala..lepas ni mana ada jumpa lagik”, then, with the two balls that I have, I spilled my guts out to open my mouth and used the WORST pick up line ever in human history “Excuse me, do I know you from somewhere?” and she replied “ Err..No” . Just like a tsunami, embarrassment flooded my face….Then just to cover up my shame, I said “ I look familiar la, btw, I am Phil Foster, call me ,Phil” (at the same time I showed my NACES name tag) “ And you are?” and she replied “I am Abidah”, since I was half deaf I answered “oo Adibah..like Adibah Nor la? Hehe” and she replied “ No, no I’m Abidah” (showed her name tag) again I am embarrassed ! It was like a pile of shame poured to top of me!!! Shameless, I just walked out of that door….Have you felt your penis inverted and your balls shrinking? Yeah that’s exactly how I felt!! I left NACES for good that day (I escaped the night activity because my friends and I planned to go to NACES to have a good time in KK instead of involving in the NACES activities).

The next day, August 16th, 2009, we went late for the NACES activity (at noon) and I was looking for her, unfortunately she was not there. Then, we went out again to pasar pilipin and shopping complexes. That day we only step our foot once in UMS.

On the final day on NACES, again my friends and I went out to Pulau Manukan and only come back to UMS at noon for closing ceremony. During the closing ceremony, I saw her there, talking to her friend and I saw a guy next to him, talking to her…I was like “ Oh Snap! She had a boyfriend!! “ but I calm myself down and said to myself “luckily I’ll never meet her again after this” but still, I still can’t stop looking at her (my heart giggles every time I saw her..ahh~~~)

Finally, NACES comes to the end and I have to go back to UTP. I still don’t want to give up and I swear to myself I must have her phone number! I don’t want go back to UTP empty handed!! Time is running out, before my friend and I went to the car, I went back to the closing ceremony hall to look for her again but she is not there!! So, I have a cunning plan in mind. Previously I has saw the facilitator of my group was talking to her and I plan to get the facilitator’s phone number and get her number from my facilitator. By God’s got the facilitator number already, and crossing my fingers, I hope my cunning plan works. (evil grinds).

Then I took my flight back to KL from KK and we reached LCTT at night. Then we took a bus to UTP and arrived in UTP at dawn August 17th, 2009. It was Monday, and I can’t sleep after arrived in UTP and I got Engineering Economics class at 8 am at D1. Upon my arrival in UTP, I just can’t stop thinking of her, her smile, it’s just gets me every time I remember how sweet her smile is. That very morning, I went to the Engineering Economics class and only a few people turn up to that class basically because most of us are tired from the trip and the class itself is just too bored.

Since boredom struck the hell out of me in that class, I went facebook online via my cheap nokia phone. When I was online I saw she wrote at my wall! I was so happy! I am so happy that I shit butterflies!! It turn up to be that we’ve had been friends in facebook for a while..hahaha..So, my cunning plan to get her number through the facilitator failed up until today instead, I get her number on my own via facebook and we’ve been in contact ever since. I get to know her more and more from the day onwards; from strangers to friends, from friends well we get closer and now she’s my best friend, my companion, my heart and my beloved girlfriend. We may be separated hundreds miles away but we are close in our hearts. I love you babe 

When I'm bored..

Today was a boring dah..sigh...I was too bored! I'm so bored I can hear the blood running in my veins! Then I decided to do something stupid....I tried to hurt Betty. I took a knife from the kitchen and put it on Betty's face and I scratch it as hard I as could!! Then I stop it after I felt satisfied scratching her. I pity her because she's not even a week with me. (Baru nak kesian). My intention is that, I just wanted to test how tough Betty is. After I wipe her face, I was amazed! Not a single scratch!Geez Betty! you are tough! woot woot!!!!

Meet Betty...My 1st collection

Well firstly I would like to introduce to you my first colletion..Betty..a TISSOT PRC 200 CHRONOGRAPH WATCH. Just arrived to me on monday, June 27th,2010 at 08.03am that will be Betty's birthday :). Why I called my wife Betty? Well it's just the first name that comes to my mind when I saw her...she's very pretty..like the first time I went to KK and fall in love with it. For the time being I'm sorry I do not have a clear picture of Betty since I do not have any camera here with me in Bintulu...I only have my Handphone Camera..so I took a picture from the net.

This is Betty! (TISSOT PRC 200 CHRONOGRAPH)

Isn't she look gorgeous? aah~~ hehe here are some of Betty's pictures:

Betty is resting at her bed..Along with 1 year international warranty card, a book titled "The Story of a Watch Company - TISSOT" , catalogs and also user's manual.

This watch is a very important collection to me because it symbolizes the achivements that I had obtained during my internship. The pride that I've earn with my very best, the hardwork that I've put been through and symbol of my strong desire to do the best. I will keep this watch until the end of my breath, this is the watch that I've earn, that I've bought by my own effort and will be passed on to my generations to come. A sign of legacy, a sign of great achivement. Maybe to some I might be a bit too much or showing off or whatever..but this is what Betty means to me. The icon of quality and exellence.

Boy's Toys!!

It's been a while since my last post. But today I felt like writing something. This time I wolrd like to talk about boy' toys..what is boy's toys?well in my definitions it is basically a guy accessories. what is a guy accessories? well to me it's nothing but a wrist watch holla!! Yeah my new obssesion after perfumes and fragrances..well I hope anyone who read this does not think a boy's toys will be some sex fantasy stuff like you know?? like Sex doll, some exotic condoms, black erotic leather with some ass whopping cemeti like in the porno movie and what not.

Moving on, I am planning to have my own collection of wrist watches. Each watches will have each sentimental vales and certain personal meaning to me. I chose watch because it can last for a long long time, unlike my previous perfume collections, the fragrance liquid will eventually finish and finally only left with empty bottle. When I think back, it's kindda lame and stupid buying the perfume for it's smell then when it's finished, am I going to keep the bottles? where am I going to keep all of the perfume bottles? of course in the end I have to throw it away and I will be like.."sigh sayang pulak tengok botol cantik kena buang...adoih!!!..nak simpan botol kosong buat apa?.." you know what I mean?

I will reveal my first collection next week..Jeng je jeng~~~

Alternatif

Terasa pula bila ingin menulis blog dalam bahasa Malaysia, jadi untuk terbitan blog aku kali ini, aku ingin menulisnya dalam bahasa yang membawa kita bersama di negara ini...

Semakin hari, aku rasakan yang aku semakin tua dan semakin tua ini bermakna semakin mencabar perjalanan hidup ini dan aku juga dapat merasakan tanggungjawab aku semakin besar. Sesetangah kita, memang petah bercakap dan berkata-kata..mungkin tidak bagi aku kerana aku rasa lebih senang menulis serba sedikit coretan tentang apa yang aku rasakan dalam sanubari ini..

Bagi kawan-kawan seperjuanganku yang sedang menjalani praktikal, sekarang merupakan waktu yang genting kerana pendaftaran subjek telah bermula dan mula berfikir tentang apa jurusan yang ingin kita dalami sebagai seorang pelajar jurusan kejuruteraaan kimia. Seperti rakan-rakan sekalian, aku juga tidak terkecuali dari dilema memilih apa yang ingin aku pelajari. Aku akui, pemilihan ini bukan mudah seperti sesetengah orang,tidak terkecuali; diriku sendiri.

Aku pada dasarnya seseorang yang tahu akan apa yang aku mahukan, tetapi apabila aku ingin memilih jurusan apa yang aku mahu ceburi, aku menjadi keliru, takut dan ragu-ragu. Aku takut adakah aku mengambil pilihan yang salah? Adakah aku bertindak terburu-buru?Dapatkah aku menghadapi subjek-subjek yang aku akan hadapi? dan bermacam-macam lagi persoalan yang muncul di fikiran aku. Kenapa aku jadi begini? Bermacam-macam pendapat aku cuba dapatkan, ada yang membantu, ada yang tidak dan tidak kurang juga yang enggan memberi pendapat. Tapi tidak mengapa, aku faham mungkin aku cuba membesar-besarkan hal kecil seperti ini bagi mereka.

Mungkin ini bukanlah sesuatu yang besar bagi sesetengah orang tetapi bagiku ianya sangat penting kerana aku punya tanggungjawab kepada orang tuaku. Aku sangat menyayangi mereka kerana telah mendidikku sejak aku menjejakkan kaki ke dunia ini. Aku ingin memilih jalan yang terbaik agar aku dapat membalas jasa mereka. Tanggungjawab anak sulung bukanlah mudah, aku mula merasakannya sekarang. Keluargaku amat memerlukan aku, dan aku harus bekerja keras untuk membahagiakan mereka dan orang yang ku sayangi. Aku terhutang budi pada kedua orang tuaku.

Seperti kata orang-orang tua, belajarlah dari pengalaman hidup. Sejak aku menjalani praktikel aku di ABF, bermacam-macam pengalaman yang aku perolehi. Pada mulanya aku agak kekok untuk berdamping para pekerja ABF, tetapi lama kelamaan kemesraan itu terjalin dan aku telah mempunyai ramai rakan-rakan di tempat kerjaku sendiri. Satu budaya yang aku kagumi di tempat kerjaku kini ialah sifat hormat-menghormati antara pekerja-pekerja yang aku rasakan hanya wujud di ABF. Mengapa saya katakan hanya terdapat di ABF? Ini adalah kerana golongan muda di sini memanggil golongan senior sebagai "Apai ". Dalam kaum iban, "Apai" bermaksud bapa. Pada mulanya aku amat terkejut dan kagum apabila mendengar seorang operator Melayu memanggil seorang senior operator sebagai "Apai". Bukan operator sahaja malah manager dan jurutera di situ juga turut memanggil mereka "Apai". Ia amat unik bagiku dan aku berasa bangga kerana perasaan hormat menghormati ini wujud di sini tanpa mengira bangsa, agama dan budaya.

Banyak lagi pengalaman yang aku pelajari semasa aku menjalani praktikel aku di sini. Jika aku ingin kongsikan, barangkali sesiapa yang membaca blog yang aku coretkan kali ini akan tidur sebelum sempat membacanya sehingga habis.

Naive or Just plain stupid?

This time I would like to share some interesting thing that might be controversial but it is true!
To those who get offended well, sorry in advance but this is happens quite number of times to me and some of my friends before.
So, what is it all about? This is about people who judge us who lives in Borneo. Here are some FAQs that some people always asked us. Well to me these are some fucked up questions and seriously and it is very offensive and really? Are you guys come from the moon? Or civilization blinded you guys?

FAQs:

1. Do you guys stay on trees?
Answer: No dumbass! We got our own houses and even big ones! Geez!

2. Do you guys have Astro back in your village?
Answer: Duh!! Who hasn’t?!

3. Do you guys eat rice?
Answer : Yes! What kind of question is that?!

4. What? Is it true in Borneo got nasi lemak?
Answer: Yes got....*yawns*

5. Do you guys still wear “cawat”?
Answer: Do you ever saw I wear one? What a dumb question!

6. Do you have car at your place?
Answer: excuse me we have cars okay? Are we that uncivilized?! Seriously!

7. Do you use a raft?
Answer : No a boat. With boat engines, we even have our own speedboat(s). Do you have one?

8. I don’t know Sarawak/Sabah has durians?
Answer : Seriously?! What a loser!

9. How to you get here? Are there any airports there?
Answer: *gerigitan suda* Ko pikir saya naik apa? Sampan ka? Please don’t be ashamed, I know some of you never step your foot into an airplane kan? Kan?

10. Do Sabah/Sarawak have shopping complex?
Answer : AHH!!!! I can’t take this anymore! Yes of course! 1Borneo, Centre Point, Warisan Square, Bintang Megamall, Parkson Sibu, The spring etc. etc.

Think about it man there a few stupid questions being asked and trust me neither you and I want to read it. This is some typical questions that always being asked to us. Please next time read more or google more. We are people too man! So please stop asking these retarded questions again…Seriously it’s offensive!

My path, the 2nd Genesis

Course registration for next semester had started today until June 11th,2010. This iis avery critical moment for me as I’ve got only 5 options to pick for my major.

1. Industrial and Environmental Engineering
2. Process Plant Engineering
3. Gas and Petrochemical Engineering.
4. Process Analysis and Control
5. Petroleum Engineering

Out of this 5, I have to choose one. Man this is one of the biggest decision that I have to make. Out of this five, I’m in dilemma to choose between Process Analysis and Control and Process Plant Engineerin. Petroleum kindda interesting too. ..Hmm.. But I guess I have to let Petroleum Engineering go as there’s Petroleum Engineering course in UTP. So, now basically I’m having my internship in a petrochemical company and handling lots and lots of process plant task and projects .I even designing and simulating the process as well. Here I’m learning about some environmental stuff too. Most of my projects here involving a lot of calculations involved in process plant as well as some simulation using iCON, HYSYS, COCO, CHEMCAD, PPO-SIM and COMPRESS. At first, it was tough for me, now I enjoyed what I do and it was fun and my calculations are trusted by my manager and supervisors. These are a few strong points for Process Plant Engineering for me.

Well, what makes me wanna choose Process Analysis and Control? This comes when I am studying a turbine with a Turbine Guru in my office. When he taught me the control oil system, It fascinates me how a simple standard of 4mA-16mA current is being used to control the throttling of basically anything. Well it’s kindda hard for me to explain it further but for me it is interesting.

As I think further, along the way when I start to work I can learn process plant design. And in order to control a process, I need to know plant design, for example a chiller a process plant engineer design it, what medium does that chiller uses, what is the operating temperature and pressure, how many tubes, how many baffles, bla bla bla and the list goes on and on but a process control engineer he needs all the data right from the very beginning and into the root of the design data of the chiller in order he/she can control the process, (ie. to control the temperature, to control the pressure, the level of the chiller, to control the dynamics of the process, he need the heat integration data to do the control of the process and bla bla bla yada yada yada..and from these data we convert electrical signal to control the variables, and the implementing feedforward control or feedbackward or cascade control..bla bla bla) Well to me I see it this way. Taking process control is like killing 2 birds using 1 stone or maybe can hurt one bird and killing the other bird well either ways..I’ve ask a guy in my office and he said, “Not all people understands process control, but if you look at if you look at it, it’s an interesting thing”

Well I guess I’ve made my decision..I’ll choose Process Analysis and Control as my major elective..to all of my coursemates..all the best for all of us, cheers!! :)

Simple touch :)

A trip I'll remember

This is a story of my fucked up weekend. It is all ruin thanks to the award winning skytrax world’s best airline. Well you know what I mean? I was like a biggest fan of this particular airline but now…it’s hard to tell. Well here goes the story of my weekend.

One month before, I bought a return flight ticket from Miri-Kota Kinabalu-Miri. My flight departed from Miri to Kota Kinabalu is at 2.45pm on the 31st March, 2010 and my return flight ticket is at 1.30pm on April 4th ,2010 . I was so happy because I can finally meet my beloved girlfriend soon.

But 24 hours before my flight to Miri, the skytrax award winning airlines send me a massage telling me that my return flight time has been rescheduled. My flight from Miri to KK is being retimed to 9.40pm on 31st March, 2010 and my return flight ticket rescheduled to 8.25pm on April 4th ,2010. I was like..wtf? it’s not going to KK that worries me, but my return flight to Miri is quite late because I am afraid I may not made it in time to get a bus to Bintulu upon my arrival. Damn Shit Happens! Then I try to call the award winning Aviation Company. The conversations are as shown below:

Phil : Tut teet tut teet tut teet (dialing numbers)
Careline : Welcome to bla bla bla.. Untuk Bahasa Malaysia Sila tekan 1, For English please press….
Phil : tut….(Pressing number 1)
Careline : Sila masukkan kata laluan anda dan diakhiri dengan #
Phil : Tut tet tut teet teet tuut tueet tuut teet teet teet teet tuut # (entering the numbers)
Careline : Tekan 1 jika betul
Phil : Tut!! (Pressing 1)
Careline : “ Harap maaf, perunding perkhidmatan kami tidak dapat melayan anda pada masa ini, sila hubungi kami kemudian atau cuba sebentar lagi” (This shit is playing over and over again and I am so irritated with the fucked up repititions..Seriously! “ The skytrax world’s best air line” you should work on this one!!)

The night before my flight to KK, I was in a dilemma and I almost to cancel my trip to KK. That night I try to get a good night sleep, but I can’t. At 4am I was awake and straight away turn on my laptop and went to the airline website and purchase my new flight ticket from KK to Miri at 6.55am on April 4th,2010. This time I am comfortable with the time as I can get back to Bintulu early.

So on the 31st March 2010, I went to Miri and met my old friend, Ridzwan and Gedeng. At 7.30pm Wan sent me to the Miri Airport. Then, I check in and hang out for a while with my course mate, Anas. I was waiting for Afzal to arrived actually because he’s going to KL that night too.

A t 9.00pm I went to the departure hall and sat there waiting for my departure. At 9.20pm Afzal arrived and we had a talk. It is 9.30 and it’s my time to boarding, as I queuing for boarding, I met an old friend, Azie and astonishingly she’s heading o KK too.
Then, 9.40 I was in the plane. The captain said our flight is being delayed for 25 mins due to some problems and I was like “okay what’s the big deal?”. 25 mins passes by and one of the old looking flight attendants is opening the entire bag compartments above our seats and announcing “ bla bla bla..this flight is being cancelled” I was like “Oh Shit! Now everyone cannot fly!”

It is not only me who gone mad there, all of the people were pissed off! Then all of us went into the airport again and I gather all around the counter. Some of the people there are having their business trip and man! They’re pretty pissed off! The Arguments continue until 12 am. I was too arguing there but maybe I was young and seem unimportant the people who are in charged that time just ignore me. I tried to talk again but again I am just a buzzing sound to them. Anyways what the heck?! Fuck them anyways. They said that the plane rear tire had problem and they have no spare parts and their only options that they have is to have a rescue flight or to wait for the spare part to arrive tomorrow morning at 9.20am from KL. And plus the only rescue flight is from KL. Why everything is centralized there? I overheard one of the passengers said “ Kasi bangun ba si Datuk Tony Fernandez tu, kasi sa bercakap sama dia”

I am so pissed off because the flight company is awarded the “world’s best airlines” and yet they had a fucked up system! Ok here are some suggestions for the pea brains or shit heads:

1. In case SHIT HAPPENS, since you guys are the so called “The world’s best airlines awarded by skytrax” , please USE your COMMON SENSE. Since you guys have dozens air plane, sent a rescue flight from any nearest air port ok?? Do I have to think of everything?? If the pilot are still asleep woke them up! If the flight attendants are busy having sex or something ask them to stop! Ask them to get ready! You guys pay them after all with OUR ticket MONEY Dammit!
2. Please do not let newbies handling the counter alone!
3. Please do not ignore people like me! I know I am nobody to you guys, but somewhat I pay for some of your paycheck or even help you bought a new plane.
4. Ok this is quite interesting, If I want my flight money back, please give back in cash or something else..no E-gift! E-gift means nothing to you guys! I am not stupid! Oh yeah by the way if people are asking for ticket refund, please give all their money back including the Insurance money and he airport tax ok? Since we cancel our flight and ask for refunds, please give all of our money back ok? INCLUDING INSURANCE AND TAX! We are NOT THERE to USE your SERVICE ok? That is Cheating am I right?!
5. Next is some suggestion on spare parts, please place your spare parts at least at some on the main airports ok? Don’t just keep it at one place! If there are no spare parts, please again use your common sense to ask some spare parts from the nearest main airport!
6. Provide more COMMON SENSE COURSE to your staff or LEADERSHIP SKILLS or QUICK DECISION MAKING SKILL to them! I have no problem waiting, but not a long wait ok?! I wrote this suggestion because I pity some of kids who have to stay there that night, waiting there.
   
   Finally at about 1am I gave up already and I overheard tomorrow the same flight will depart to KK a 10.30am after the spare parts arrive from KL at 9.20am.

On Friday, 2nd April,2010. My flight to KK is 10.30 am. I went to the airport early and at at 10.00am I enter the departure Hall. Again my flight is being delayed to 11.15am. Maybe you guys must think again about the award that you get. Maybe you should change your slogan from to “Now Everybody Can Fly with delayed or cancelled flight” or “Now Everybody is waiting to fly”. Seriously put that shit on your banners or T-shirt.

It'd done! Phew~

Today is a very hectic day; I spent the whole day in the office, sitting in front of my laptop doing my project. Roughly I’ve spent almost 2 months doing my project..of course, there’s a shitty times and good times, but most of it is shitty times. The worst part of my project is getting all the necessary data. And God Damn! It ain’t easy…well I’m used to it already. The best part of my project is yet to come; I have to present it to my supervisor and probably my manager (hopefully I’ll not crap the hell out of myself!).

Since the past few weeks, I’ve been crunching numbers, doing all the things that I’ve studied and it felt worth it because I used everything that I learnt since my 1st year. The “ best” part of my project is to do the calculation. Since there’s no available simulation software available, (The existing one can’t be used due to some unknown reason and the problem had been there for about 3 months I think), I have to do the calculation manually. Trust me I’ve work some calculations back at home and I am killing about 2-3 trees…The calculation was too complicated.
As the tie passes by, suddenly I become so damn smart and I manage to find a way to do a simple calculation without cracking my nuts and head…finally I did it!! I’m the happiest man alive, I am so happy that I shit butterflies!!..well literally~ hehe

Then I move on into the next level calculating mass balance, well I thought it was easy but damn! When I started to do it, damn! Have you felt your penis inverted? (If you are a guy la...for girls I don’t know, maybe you’ve seen a cockroach or something that have 6 legs or 3 eyes or big butts or whatever). Now I think I’ve settled everything already with my smart brain (angkat bakul jap). Thank God! Damn I’m good!

Today I’ve just finished finalizing my projects and will be submitting it soon. I’ve saved my project in a PDF format file just in case some motherfuckers fuck with me and all my hard work will be gone. God it feels good! !!

The 00's

Fashion world is an ecstasy,
Models are worshiped for they are holy;
God and Goddess of a perfect body,
Instead of Healthy be Skinny..

Skinny, skinny the symbol of sexy,
Food once a friend, now a foe;
Calorie taken is always a war,
The hunger is sentenced behind the bars,
Shivers the figures unlike before,
Big tummy is the new enemy.

Biscuits and yogurt are low in fat,
The world is thirst for love and peace,
We fight for fat instead of peace,
We fear for fat instead of God.

Gucci, Prada, LV and Armani,
Shitty fabrics and it cost you money,
You give them money instead of the needy,
The richer gets greedy the poor get a penny,

Media share lies and hides you the truth,
The naïve will nod and the fact is faded,
We live in the shadows and despised the truth,
The truth voices becomes more unheard.

Every King's Origins

You might be wondering how do kings exist? Where are they come from? well maybe some of you know the history and blah blah blah..yawn yawn~

Well this is my theory on how the king exist..Before time began, Homosapiens only wears leather shirts erm not technically a shirt..more like a dress, yes man n woman both wear dresses..well I don't know about any underwear, there may be there are no such things such as lingeries or bikinis for the ladies there is no Victoria Secrets, no Armani erm definately no Triumph and for the guys there's no Renoma trunks or anything to cover their Johnson's down below you know what I'm sayin'? hehe anyways back to the story..well that time, people live in tribes; some are nomads, some stays in one place, some are bandits and hunters well all of them are living in a clan of their own.

All of these clan have their own leader, some are good, some are cruel, some are brilliant maybe some are just plain stupid..(I’m just saying) During these times, rivalry began to emerge; here good or bad it doesn’t really matters, only the strongest will win and conquer. The winning party will begin to build their own empire and legacy and new kingdom emerges from every corner of the world. Then the legacy passes on generations to generations up until today where we can see their royal bloodlines. From all of these emerging kingdoms, only a few remains up until today.

Hm..I began to wonder right now, how can they become so rich? How can they have so many lands and assets? Why they are so rich? While where we are talking about having Vios, Latio, Hilux, RX-8, Fairlady.as our dream cars, to them owning Ferraris, Bentley, Lamborghini and Burgatti is just normal. While we are dreaming of having a vacation to Paris or New York,sitting in the first class in the airplane, to them their private jet is just a cab to ride. While we are talking of having Nike sweaters, Crocs Sandals or Onitsuka Tiger Sneakers for style, they have their own Italian tailor to make them a fine cut suits and designer shoes like Jimmy Choo is just a phone call away. While we are dreaming of having the luxurious lifestyle and to be served like VIP, to them it’s just another normal day. Where we are sleeping in our own bed; a cheap sale mattress at a 50% discount, they are sleeping comfortably like a baby in their own designer bed made by Dr. Gustavo..with Japanese silk as their bed sheet…Must pretty awesome huh?

Back to my point; This world once is not owned by anyone, the soil, air and water, are all free in nature, Originally back then, all the lands belongs to nobody and now look around us, most of the lands have their own landlords. Well I just thought about this anyways…just skip this part.

Well erm..I’ll be writing again soon..

My Ecstasy

Everybody have thier own heroine, I used to have mine;- perfumes, I've collected may perfumes already more than both my feet and my fingers could count. When does it started? It started when I was 13, while everyone in my high school are into linkin park and limp bizkit *Haaah~~ those days* hehe I have my own passion for things that smells nice. I started with a cheap type of perfume, cologne..it can be found easily in many supermarkets and my addiction continues and more and more it grows..up until now, theoretically I have a shelves full of perfumes. Armani, Christian Dior, Ralph Lauren, DKNY, CK, shiseido, Elizabeth Arden, Hugo Boss,Mont Blanc, Dunhill, Bvlgari, Davidoff, fcuk, Burberry, dvb, Guess, Urge, Clinique, Resonance, Bybos Blu, Armand Bassi, JPS, you name it I have it all...each of the perfumes I had the scent is special, each scent have thier own memories, makes me sleep well and provides me a calm state of mind.

I don't know how it works but perfumes makes me feel comfortable, calm n confidence. I know maybe some of you who read this will said this guy is crazy or something else but I just want to share with you here my passion, my ecstasy or my own personal brand of heroine. Some of them when I sniff the smell, I'll give me good memories about myself, some are bad..that is what is interesting about perfumes, It some sort of like a trigger to you, reminds you of your history, what you've been through, who you were, your ups and downs. Every scent has thier own story. It don't just covers your awful armpit smell or makes you smells nice but it gives you confidence and medium for you to store every seconds of your moments in your life even better than HD camera or a DSLR.

But now I just don't know the passion seems to be gone, the scent are trapt in thier bottles..my passion is gone....

The Return

This is my latest post and the first for this year (2010) wow..that's along time since the last time I updated my blog..hehe anyways here's a lil update from myself this year....

This is my 3rd year 2nd semester already in my study and currently I am doing my internship in ASEAN Bintulu Fertilizer (ABF) Bhd. in Operations (Ammonia) Department. Hmm just want to say something about internship though..for me internship so far is intersting, it is completely new to me, more towards applications of what I've studied in UTP so far, and Currently I am doing my projects of revamping one of the Units in the plant, hopefully it'll be successfull.. :)

I still want to experienced the shift work myself but unfortunately my manager doesn't approve it for the time being..*sigh* but anyways I am just making the best out of everything for now. The best part about internship is that there will be NO TEST and NO FINAL EXAMS but! there's always a but...but you have to do your weekly report and that is just annoying, maybe for the first 2-3 weeks you write things everyday but sooner or later...you felt like you already a "staff" and you began to said " later la buat my report" to " hmm..takpela..next week can do" to "Bile nak submit buat la..lame lagi.." to " Ade report ke?" and then things will be very hectic...and the story goes and goes...

Working in ABF is fun, everybody is friendly here, I mean VERY3 FRIENDLY, tak kedekut ilmu, suke derma senyuman....hehehe..yeah the work culture is just sooooo harmony~~

Other than me, there are some of UTP students also having their internship here in ABF with me like Amy Goh(NH3 OPS), Renae and Hui San(Process Dept.), Aaron (Rotary Mech), Abdullah (Project Dept.) and Zahirah ( Urea OPS).

ok enough about intern and moving on hehehe..well erm so far life's been treating me just fine, I am in a relationship now and she's definately a heaven sent...her name is Nur Abidah, and She's from Sabah..we 1st met during NACES 2009 in UMS, Sabah. She's a nice girl, pretty understanding, smart and a very easy going young lady. hehe..love her soo sooo much! XoxOxoXo.

well erm I guess that is all for now I'll write again soon enough :)
