What am I doing now?

*

Dunno, dont feel like studying. Quite tired after doing project in the morning and spending the whole afternoon at Bugis.

*

Finally I got my extra RAM added. So yes!! My laptop becomes much much faster than before. I am clicking here and there, open Ms Word, open Powerpoint, open Solidwork then close it, then click on a few websites... ... Everything is running so SMOOTHLY. I should have done it much earlier and could save all the troubles I had with my dear laptop for the past one year.

*

What to do next? Dunno. Brain is not functioning well now. (Giving myself all sort of excuses not to study ;P)

*

I shall continue to CLICK.

Lucky Friday

I think today is my lucky day. In the morning, I accidentally found 2 books at school library, written by Mitch Albom and Spencer Johnson respectively. These are the books I wanted to buy and now I can save the money for other things. Actually all along I thought that there are only reference books available in the library. This is really a great discovery, not too late, at least before graduation.

*

Guess what happen next? I went to have lunch at Canteen 2 and eventually I got a free meal treated by a stranger! He was an uncle whom I met on the way to Canteen 2. He lost his way and I showed him to his destination (which was Canteen 2 also). Then it was another coincidence that we both queueing up for the chicken rice. We chit chated while waiting for the food. When it was his turn, he insisted to pay for my prawn mee. Then he left and I did not even ask for his name. So I am very lucky right? Lucky to meet this kind uncle. I am really grateful to him and today's prawn mee tastes the best.

Happy Belated Mid Autumn Festival!

Remember to see the fullest moon of this month tomorrow ; )

Happy Belated Mid Autumn Festival to All!

新式浪漫史

刚才，陪dear回去他家拿东西后，我们一起回来NTU。从他的家，并没有巴士直接通往学校，所以我们得走一段大概十分钟的路程到179有经过的巴士站。上了巴士后，我们只能在宿舍附近的站下车，然后再走十分钟才能抵达目的地。原来，整段路程是这么累的。

*

以前，我老是很不体谅的埋怨dear用那么长的时间才抵达我的房间，甚至有时候还故意拖延时间不让他回去，现在真的知道错了。Dear为了见到我，天天都走同一段路，而我只是逍遥自在的在等他，等得不耐烦时，嘴巴还会suan他。经过了今晚的体验，我真的为dear所做的感到非常感动，也许这就是他能给我的浪漫。

*

“谢谢你，这么贴心，这么浪漫。这首歌是献给你的。”

*

两颗心同步爱 你和我分不开

什么都还没说 但我想的你都说中了

当你感到寂寞 你第一个想到我

有太多快乐慢动作回放 每天默契更多

我爱你难得你也选择我 同样爱那么多

*

我爱你一天一天更确定一步一步靠近 一点一滴一比一爱

Oh 像罗马一天一天建立 一点一滴一比一爱

不经意就像呼吸 想你就是必需 你的明天我不缺席

Yeah yeah yeah 爱是一步一步在累积 同步爱

*

谢谢你懂得我 可能比我了解得更多

若亲爱的你感到难过 oh 答应陪你到最后

*

Oh yeah yeah yeah 爱是一步一步在累积

爱你就是必需 你的明天我不缺席

Oh yeah yeah yeah 爱是一点一滴清晰

oh 甜蜜一点一滴慢慢 满溢 爱是跟你一步一步累积 同步爱

The recess started on 22 Sept and it will last for one week till 30 Sept. However I shall say my recess ending today.

*

I went back to Muar for last few days. This is the first time in university when I only spent 3 days of recess in hometown. I was so relunctant to come back this afternoon. I am missing the sofa where I could lie down there whole day to watch tv without thinking of my studies; not forgeting my aunty's great cooking; the smell of my bed; the naughty gold fish... ... So sad ; ( I know once the study life ends, I will even go back less frequent than now. The pathetic 14 days of annual leaves will not allow me to do so.

*

I love my home. Sometimes I really feel very guilty to leave my grandmother and aunty there. They are sure missing me very much while I am away. They pamper me with everything which my parents could not give me. Everytime I go back, my favourite food is on the table waiting for me. All my belongings are being kept nicely and clean. How I wish I could be with them everyday. Yet the reality is cruel. I could only go back to see them as frequent as I could, no matter how tiring the journey is.

*

I miss my HOME.

爱之深，责之切

真的不明白，为什么有人可以做出这么离谱的事？在没有得到允许的情况下，公然闯入学生宿舍，强行“没收”学生的私人物件。被没收的物件，都是贵重的科技产品，包括笔记型电脑和手机等等。干案者，居然是应该保护学生安全的大学保安! 请不要觉得惊讶，有一些人，就是喜欢不按牌理出牌，份内该做的不去做，不该理的，却又善做主张。

*

这件事的短片已经流传到Youtube，在世人的眼里，我们，马来西亚人，是不是一群住在树上的野蛮人? 我绝对不是对肤色有偏见，但是，为什么每次都是他们做出这么出格的事？国会议员在国会上出言不逊，羞辱女议员后还死不悔改，有这样的人当政，难怪属下也是一般xx（请以你自己的理解，填上适当的词）。

我国的人权醒觉水准，与世界水平相比，慢了三十年。要到什么时候，我们才不会在全世界人面前闹笑话？

Fish Story

I mentioned in the previous post, I had a few trouble making fishes who keep bullying others. Eventually these fishes were emigrated to Dear's fish tank, where more fierce fishes are staying. Hehe, do you feel my evil grin?

*

Today Dear has bought a packet of fish to fill my "quite empty" tank. A packet of fish, contains a lot (it's a lot, more than 50 i think) of small little peacock fishes. I nearly fainted when I saw it.

*

He bought the packet which costs only $2, but making my room into a mess. When he put the fishes into the tank, those fishes were so excited till some of them jumping out of my tank. It landed on my table, file, fridge, floor and sprayed water all over the place. At that moment, I felt like throwing the whole tank away.

*

Dear ended up catching the fish 1 by 1 from the tank. I forced him to take away most of the fish, leaving only the more beautiful one in the tank. We spent almost one hour to clear the mess.

*

The moral of the story: Do not buy a packet of cheap fish. Only buy the quantity that you need. The time spent on cleaning is much much more than $2.

Sunday

I woke up quite late in the morning. Oh I did some crazy things in the midnight. I had KTV session for 2 days, from Saturday night to Sunday 3am. I would say this is the first time I stayed till so late (early ; P) out of campus. Haha I am a good girl ok? So the price to pay is, a hole in the pocket. ; (
*

Then the whole afternoon, or rather the whole day, I was searching through the internet to look for suitable job advertisement for my assignment. Finally I got the assignment done in the midnight. So sad to spend my precious Sunday in such a way.

Out of boredom, I took some pictures of my babies.

I have fish in my room!

Yes, it's real alive fish in my room!

On Saturday, I went to Qian Hu Fish Farm. While we are on the way to the farm, I took a bet with Tyng Tze. Don't care about what we bet first, the important point is: I have won ;P As a result, I got a fish tank and a few fishes for free.

My fishes are very active. It always catch my attention whenever I sit beside the table. It's interesting to observe their behaviours and see how it protect its territory.

But unfortunately, 1 fish died. I think it was being attacked by other fishes. Some of the fishes are quite fierce and keep disturbing others. Anyway I shall observe a few more days and then only decide what to do with the fierce fishes.

Nice story to share

He met her at a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him, she was surprised, but due to being polite, she promised.

*

They sat at a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please; let me go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee." Everybody stared at him, so strange! His face turned red, but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it.

*

She asked him curiously; why he had this hobby? He replied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I liked playing in the sea, and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood, think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

*

That was his true feelings, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can express his homesickness must be a man who loves his home, cares about home, and has responsibility for his home. Then she too started to speak, spoke about her faraway hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk, a beautiful beginning of their story.

*

They continued to date. She found out that he actually was the man who met all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm, careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story, the princess married to the prince, and then they lived a happy life... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that?s the way he liked it.

*

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest please forgives me, forgive the lie of my life. This was the only lie I ever said to you---the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous that time, I actually wanted some sugar, but I said salt instead. It was too embarrasing for me to take back so I just went ahead I never thought that could be the start of our communication! I tried to tell you the truth many times but I was too afraid to do so as I had promised never to lie to you about anything...Now I'm dying, I'm afraid of nothing so I am telling you the truth: I don't like salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. I have had to take the salty coffee for my whole life with you and never had to feel sorry for it because I did it for you.

*

Having you with me is the biggest happiness in my entire life. If I could live a second time, I'd still want to know you and have you for my whole life, even if I if had to drink salty coffee again". Her tears made the letter totally wet.

*

One day someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee? It's sweet. She replied. Love is not to forget but to forgive, not to see but to understand, not to hear but to listen, not to let go but to HOLD ON. Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

Being forgotten ;(

I feel quite disappointed when not being invited to attend a friend's birthday celebration. This is a friend whom I always attend lectures with. I consider him as my good friend in NTU. But why am I always the one being forgotten? Even a friend staying out campus is invited.

I really keen to attend any of this kind of gathering (provided I am being informed). But many times, people just do not inform me. So sad to be left out. I just do not know what's wrong with me? Not blaming anyone. It's just a disappointment of myself. I just do not want to leave university without a good friend.

Career in finance sector?

I have attended 2 recruitment talks recently. Both talks are on banking, Citibank and Barclay Capitals. Now there is a trend of engineering graduates going into the finance and banking sector. So as expected, the talks managed to attract students from different schools (including Biological Sciences), resulting a full house in LT19A and MLT. (MLT is the biggest LT in NTU) So can you imagine how many students attending the talks?

*

People say engineering is boring, so they go for banking and management. Such a good reason. Why can't they just admit that they go for the PAY? Come on, this is a real world, so you need money to make the globe moving. That will be the only reason for me to give up my 4 years' engineering hardwork and jump into a totally new world. (Provided the pay must be at least 30% higher than the pay for engineering jobs)

*

Anyway, I am not really interested with the banks. I went to the talks for the purpose of gaining more knowledge on the sector. Frankly I am quite conservative. I feel scared to enter a new field without strong foundation. (Even though I have Minor in Business, I still do not know how to apply the knowledge). I always think the techinal knowledge is my competitive advantage, then why should I give it up?

*

So I want to be Engineer.
