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!! :)
