Should I update?

What say you?

Jadikan Aku yang Ke-2

Somehow this is the song right now. Hmm...

Jadikan Aku yang Kedua - Astrid

Jika dia cintaimu
Melebihi cintaku padamu
Aku pasti rela untuk melepasmu
Walau ku tau ku kan terluka

Jikalau semua berbeda
Kau bukanlah orang yang kupuja
Tetapi hatiku telah memilihmu
Walau kau tak mungkin tinggalkannya

Jadikan aku yang kedua
Buatlah diriku bahagia
Walau pun kau takkan pernah
Kumiliki selamanya

Definitely won't be yang kedua for obvious reasons. But hey, great song. In fact, was thinking of getting a haircut something like Astrid's in this videoclip. Maybe get it done in Bandung.

Did I mention I was going to Bandung?

11 days to go~!

Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?

Who cares?

Hahah. So I've been on a superlong unannounced hiatus. A lot has happened (as usual), some kid read my blog, commented mcm dia hebat. Pfftt... was seriously a kid and I have no idea why I wasted time chatting with him and why am I wasting time blogging about him right now. Heheh.

Final year, final sem. Previous semester GPA was almost 4.0. Unfortunately, NOT 4.0 and therefore puts me in a greater pressure to score a 4.0 this semester. Unfortunately again, things don't seem to be looking as great as I want to.

Busy with activities, lost of passion in project, other many projects demanding my attention, not doing well in tests, no job offer in Bakun =(

Am seriously worried about EMS and RE. Die2 must get A but i'm guessing die2 masuk grave pun tak dpt. Nevertheless, am still hoping. EMS final tomorrow. uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :'(

Confused feelings.

Sigh.

No I was not kidnapped by any Jakun from Bakun

In fact, there are no jakuns there. I am very much alive here, back in my hometown, slaving through my final year of uni.

FINAL YEAR!

Gosh. Whoever said final year was a year to relax... was indeed as wrong as the person who said Bintulu was cheap.

From the moment I landed till this week I was VERY occupied. Ok, well there were instances where I was pretty free but was just too LAZY to type anything. Heee~~~

It's the last few days of Ramadhan which means one thing - RAYA! which also means another thing - EXAM!

Darn. Am taking 4 subjects + 1 senior project. Sigh. My timetable's pretty empty but with the amount of assignments and tests and projects, I feel like I'm back in first year! Sometimes I still can't believe I'm gonna graduate in April and that I managed to survive almost 5 years in this uni of mine. Experienced A LOT during these years which some of them may have been blogged earlier. Hey, this blog started when I was in my first year of uni...(as in foundation year). and I am obviously not 18 anymore.

I don't really know what to type here as usual since I've got too many things on my mind. My internship at Bakun was a really good experience and vacation. Hoping to go back there again once I graduate. Hopefully after that I get transferred to France or something. Haha. Ye lah tuh.

Well, I think I'll stop here. Just dropping by to inform u that I still exist. Will prob continue after Raya. Till then, Selamat Berpuasa (for the next few days) and Selamat Hari soRaya. Hope it's berSri and berCahaya. =)

I think I just poisoned myself

I think I just poisoned myself.

By accident of course! Bought this cheap rice cooker which metal pot was thin and got heated up easily. And then they gave me a plastic senduk for it. Yes, plastic and heat = poison.

Had to remove it using my, again, cheap metal spoon. Thought I managed to remove the plastic (it was very small anyway). But there was still some kinda smellll……. Anyway, I still fried my egg (thought perhaps it was the garlic + oregano smell) and heated up the sardine. Hmmm… the pot’s kinda big… The portion should be bigger. Hahah. Maybe I should’ve bought a smaller one like the one I have back at home. Sigh. Watudu.

Anyhoo~ I’m in Bakun. Smacked in the middle of jungle-nowhere. When I arrived, I walked up to the driver and I was like “Alstom?” and the driver (and his nephew, which at the time I didn’t know it was his nephew) were like “Huh? Yah2…”. I was like “oh boy… 3 hrs like this?”

Later after dropping off his nephew and building courage to speak to the driver, we started chatting and got to know him better (3 hours man!). He thought I was a Sabahan so that’s why he was a bit terkezut when I came up to him and said I’m for Alstom. Hahah. He brought me around Bintulu to buy some stuff. Damn. Whoever thought the stuff in this area are cheaper (or whoever gave me that idea) is sooo wrong.

You’ll never appreciate Carefour till you’ve shopped at Farley’s.

Not that it’s really bad or anything. But. Well. Oh nevermind!

Anyway, my room’s pretty ok. It’s actually like an old hotel room. Got a double bed, settees, a balcony, a big fridge, a big tv, Astro (Yay! to civilization)… (although Astro still hasn’t reactivate the account). HOT WATER SHOWER. Haha. Fully aircond. Hey, I’m staying here for free. Why need to complain?

Till today that is. Not really complain. Just I need to figure out how I’m gonna cook. << Long story, too lazy to type.

Well the office is pretty small, but then again just enough to fit us and in fact there’s still more space. Yes, there are girls in this place. Actually there are a plenty lot here. More than I expected.

One week passed by, not bad. Visited the site. Went down bout 4 floors down the powerhouse. No wait - one floor kinda has like 2 sets of stairs… so it’s more like went down 8 floors. Of course, there were stops in between. Went with the safety manager from the other contractor so that was the furthest she brought me to. And the place schtoinks of urine. And ciggie smoke. Haih~

That wasn’t so bad. Going down with stops. Going up was a challenge…….. Imagine going up 8 floors – at one shot! Like, people. Can’t u go down 8 floors at one shot and go up 8 floors with stops? Sigh.

Pretty much nothing to do except chatting on the net, and helping the secretary here and there and bore myself to death with EHS stuff. Seems to be the most favorite topic of my boss.

Went to Bintulu on Saturday, bought stuff for the room ONLY. Like great achievement. I did not spend a single cent on unnecessary items. (although my hands are itching to get new clothes. No really, I think I need them). The day before my boss came in with a list. I thought, wow, a list of keje to do. Rupanya a list of items he wanted me to buy at Bintulu. Haih.

On Sunday followed my boss to the clubhouse. Would have prob burn some calories swimming, IF ONLY I DIDN’T FORGET TO BRING MY SWIMMING SUIT! Oh well, nevermind. I’m sure sitting in the hot sun would have burnt at least some.

Did housekeeping all by myself. I actually washed my own clothes. But since I couldn’t hang them out during the hot sun coz I was busy watching my boss swimming (not that I don’t appreciate it, he’s a real nice boss), they kinda… well… not smell as how they should smell.

Yesterday went down to the powerhouse again but this time with boss and secretary and went one more floor extra. He explained more stuff which the safety manager couldn’t so I got a better understanding. Shytes. I’m gonna get fat. Everytime I visit the site, I get hungry. Dang.

This morning I went to the powerhouse with the site supervisor, FINALLY! I get a better grip of what’s what. And oh boy, was I treated like one of em. This dude totally made me turun alllllll the way, siap masuk the spiral casing get in the middle turun2 till the draft tube etc panjat sini sana… waaah… funny thing is, I wasn’t that afraid of falling. Till he brought me to the transformer area. Oh yeah! My first catwalk, my momma would’ve been proud of me!

I have no idea what u call em but those steel rods used for structure – yeah erm arrange them like the tic-tac-toe thingy or well like your math book and there you get it! The thingamajigwhatchamacallit I had to walk on. It wasn’t like I’d die if I fall, just that it wasn’t so convincing coz it wasn’t a flat piece of wood or metal for me to walk on. More of paranoia than anything else. Ok, add some ego to it. Hey, imagine falling in front a lot of men. Ugh! Never! I guess the supervisor noticed how far I was behind and prob the “SHITSHITSHIT” expression on my face and my super ladylike walk and so he was like “Careful…” Oh yeah, like tell me TOMORROW! But anyway, he showed me a LOT. This time I learnt A LOT. Best thing is, I went empty handed. No notes, no pix.

Well, I can always go again =P

Kinda kantoi-ed singing happily in the room and well I made up for it by finishing the EHS filing (EHS AGAIN!) which I thought was actually finished. Hahah. Boss was happy. So happy he decided to give me more things to file! Oh yeah boss! I came here to learn filing. Let me write that in my logbook. An experience I’ll never forget.

After he discussed some stuff with me bout the presentation that he wants me to do, he came in with the stack of papers he wanted me to file. “When you have 10 mins, maybe you can file this…”

“Oh sure no prob, can do them now.”
“No, no, when you’re free.”

Like is this old guy kidding me?

I should’ve answered, “Ok, when I’m free. I’m busy chatting with my frens rite now”.

So I was doing the filing and then si orang tua ni masuk balik bilik aku dgn muka tersengih2 senyum kambing with one more piece of paper to file. Haih~ il est tres amusant.

Speaking of which, I totally can’t understand when he speaks French. Hahah. Till he translates that is. Then only I figure out the words he was saying. If not everything sounded like “shhhhezzzzhhhhaaasshsh ghhh ghhhh shhhh zhhhhh”.

After that I was left to continue with my chatting coz I was just too lazy to do start on the presentation. Everytime he enters his room he’ll always glance at me. So when he entered his room, glanced at me, then came out with some papers, smiling masuk bilik aku, I was like prepared to attend to him igtkan ade keje lagi nak buat………… skali die tgk paper tuh, tersengih2 senyum kambing balik. Die tersilap bilik. Appadaaaaa… Comel jugak la orang tua nih.

Anyway, tomorrow gotta find time to kacau the supervisor or I shall end up not doing anything again. I so need to get more clothes. Don’t think the very VERY few pieces I have with me can last for 3 months. Hahah.

Oh. And I really need green leafy veges.

Really really need em.

And I also want to eat keropok lekor, cendawan goreng and pisang goring.

Can I Still Wish "Happy New Year!"?

After about a 4-month hiatus, I'm back wishing you a belated "Happy New Year!" and "Happy Chinese New Year!".

Like oh my gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwdddddddddddddd.

I have been so freaking busyyyyyyyyyyy...... Then again, when have I not been busy, rite?

So I started a new semester (although it's actually the end now) and currently taking 6 subjects and STRUGGLING my way through. I think I know why God gave me a super high GPA last sem - to make up for this semester's grade. Sigh~

Was pretty occupied with Career Fair - no wait - Career Carnival and 6 projects from my 6 subjex. WAaaaaaaaaaaa............... Had a couple of breakdowns in the middle but managed to pull through. Now it's the end of the semester and I can barely accept that 4 months have passed by. FREAKING FAST.

Sorry, can't really do a recap on whatever has gone coz it's like 4 freaking months maaaaaaan..... I can tell something in the future though - I'm actually going to do my Industrial Training in Bakun. Yippeee!!!

Yup, thank God I listened to Vincent's advice on contacting Michel directly coz blegh... waiting for the HR..... Kinda excited and scared... Hmmm... oh well, hope for the best and prepare for the worst!

I kinda need to stop here. MUST FREAKING STUDY MAN!

Very the Penat~

Just came back from a whole day of walking, and walking, and walking, and walking around KL. Though it rained slightly in the morning, the rest of the day was perfect. Started off with the Islamic Arts Museum, had lunch at some warong somewhere near DBKL, went to Butterfly Park (thank God we only paid RM5. didn't have no exotic looking butterflies pun...), then waaaaalked all the way to Hibiscus and Orchid Park (which we completed in 15 mins?) and then finally to the Deer Park. Gosh. My feet were aching badly. Fortunately I had the Japanese slippers Joshua gave, which made my trip on feet slightly more comfy.

After the deer park we wanted to take a cab to KLCC but since the er... DBKL tram thingy dropped us off near Dayabumi, Bob convinced us to go on our feet (again! Boy, can he walk!!) to central market and then took the LRT to KLCC.

Let's see how much I spent.

Stupid &*%$ing Umbrella = RM 10

Breakfast = Free

Cab = Free (ok. Azri paid for it.)

Islamic Arts Museum = RM 5

Lunch = RM 3.50

Butterfly Park = RM 5

Orchid & Hibiscus Park = Free

Deer Park = Free

Drinks at CM = RM 3

A whopping total of RM 26.50! Wow! One of the objectives of going to these parks were just to get out of the house without spending too much. However...

After the visits I went to KLCC supposedly to get some tickets at Philharmonic. Tak jadi. And so I dragged Bob to Pavillion and uh... I spent ...

Belt = RM 33.90

Bday Gifts = RM 31

Not so bad waaaat... coz the belt is something I've been searching high and low for and the gifts are reeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaalllllly overdue.

Conclusion : Pavillion is more affordable than Gardens. The End.

Yay! I'm back on the List!

Pheewwhh! Finally after 2 semesters of having my grades below 3.5 (which dragged my CGPA waaaaay down), I'm back on Dean's List! And even better than before! (Although it just brought my CGPA back up by a teeny tiny bit. But I'm not complaining. Much.)

At least now I know my hard work of slavery and not sleeping or eating (or breathing!) paid off. Well, except for CAD Lab. Dang, that Kamal. Ok well, it's not entirely his fault. We didn't do our presentation. Fair enough. But alaaa... that's like my first Lab that I didn't get an A for. =( Even Tan Ee Sann gave me an A. *stop complaining!*

Alhamdulillah. It's been a great day today. Ok, so I had to put up with Faizal's I-like-to-ask-you-so-many-annoying-questions. But he was kind enough to send me to Bangsar Village 2 where I got free lunch and dinner, a free manicure and pedicure, and a funky orange top all thanks to my sister. And when I was doing my nails Bob msged me about results I felt I was gonna burst if I didn't check it immediately so I got him to check it for me. And YAY! Thank God the results were GREAT!

Tomorrow am gonna go try out the class at Didance. I am so looking forward to that. =P
