Today, my mom admitted to ICU due to rapid heart bits. Luckily she is fine now. Thanks God.
When I was at the hospital, I felt that I couldn't do anything for my mom.
(Touch wood) If there is a need of operation, I don't have enough money for it. (T.T)
I must grow stronger in a more rapid pace to protect my family members!

I Am Lazy =P

2011-01-03T21:52:00.001+08:00

I revised my last post for one time dy due to my laziness.. I seriously need some motivation to move.. Okay, here it goes.. JH, your next car.. XD

JH, GO TO DO WHAT YOU SUPPOSE TO!

CFA.. Hwaiting!!!

2010-11-07T21:46:00.004+08:00

I had enrolled myself into Charted Financial Analyst (CFA) course today.

Getting to know the word CFA is from Shin E, I would like to thank you her very much. Without her, I wouldn’t know there is such a thing exists.

Goooogle-ing around, climbing pages of comments in forums and asking friends’ opinions (thanks Ally C) and I came to the decision. I didn’t want to think too much as afraid of I am not going to work it out. Since it is a good thing, I would like to give it a best try.

A brief intro of CFA. It is a professional certificate in finance. It consists of 3 levels and its passing rate is damn low. The challenging of the papers has attracted my attention! Yes, this is what I want.

People always posted question on me why I wanted to study CFA.

The reasons are:

1. I want to get more knowledge. =.= (Whacked by my most of the questioners because they don’t believe that) Well, I myself also wouldn’t believe that if someone answers me like that.

2. Of course to increase my value la!! Study so hard on Sunday for what? Of course for $$$$ la!! Hehe.

3. Third is I would like to join investment bank in the future like the wall street guys. You are my idols!!

4. I want to increase my earning power to the next stage!

To study hard, I need to have some motivation. Let me write down my motivation here so that whenever I am lazy, I will go through this post again.

1. I still remember my first ever post in this blog is to have a Honda Civic – Honda, the power of dreams. It is my motivation 2 years ago. Unfortunately I lost my motivation recently! =P Since everyone is looking forward, I have no choice but to set my next target as BMW 5 series or Mercedes Benz (Nowsaday, Mercedes looks great dy!). I prefer executive car more than sport car due to its comfort.

2. I still remember I said in one of my post that I don’t want to eat at food court in the future. I really mean it and no kidding at all. However, due to the financial ability now, still not achievable yet. I really wish that it will come true. However, wishing is not enough, need to work it out!! Let me share a bit, just had my lunch with my family at Dragon-I yesterday. I paid RM150 for the bill. That’s mean I need to have high income to sustain my expenses. Okay, my second motivation.

3. $$$$! Well, someone would say that money can’t buy everything. Yes I agree but if you don’t have money you would have nothing. My 2 cent/sense (Don’t know why they call it in that way, why not 2 ringgit =P), those who say that are those who didn’t suffer from broke before when the money in the pocket is less than RM10. Increase my standard and market value so that I am sellable in the future.

4. JH, you need to buy FIXED ASSETS ah. Okay, roger that.

Well, I think that’s it for now. IF you would like to take CFA, do let me know, as we can study together. ;) TO MOTIVATE YOU ALL A BIT, today my classmates mostly are fresh graduates. People are working and spend their ‘supposed to have fun’ Sunday to study. Sometimes, we need to be kiasu a bit (That’s how Singapore grows and everyone would like to work there).

Graduated!

2010-10-19T09:40:00.003+08:00

The day I made my parents proud.

The day I achieved a mile stone in my life.

The day I officially declared myself no longer a full time student.

The day I am going to start missing my classmates.

The day I am going to start missing my afternoon nap. =P

The day I was looking long enough since foundation year.

It’s my graduation day! Finally, I graduated and I can earn my salary already!

During the orientation week when I was in the foundation year, people was talking senior A is a top student with CGPA … and his gorgeous girl friend is a top student too with CGPA …. (wwhhaaoooo) and then that senior also got high CGPA and that senior too. Those seniors look smart. Some said it was very difficult to get CGPA above 3.80. Those seniors are really ‘the geng’ or godlike. They got great job offers before the final semester.

As a newbie, it looks like the curriculum in University is very hard, those professors are insane and to graduate with good grade it seems like a distance of sky to reach. From that day onward, I set a target for myself – to study hard and obtain flying color result. Well, a student should do that as it is the responsibilities of a student.

I still remember the night with Keith when we talked about our future at our hostel. I said: “5 years to go and 5 years I will be “stuck” at this place, it is a very long way to go.” I really dislike the feeling at that moment. I really dislike the feeling of having to wait for so long and the time is moving very slowly. At that time, I emo alittle bit. =P

University life – DOTA! However, being so noob until scolded by Jason Lee. (T.T) I don’t want to play already!

I hate the government at that time (now also =P) as they cancelled the exemption for first class honor. I went for scholarship and obtained YTL and Genting offers. Why did I choose Genting? It’s simple, Genting gave me RM4000.00 more. It sounds ridiculous but it is true. My dad said both are equivalent the same and I have to decide myself.

One more thing I dislike UNITEN is it is a boy school! Haiz, it is difficult to get to know a girl! (May be it is my problem as not being working hard enough for it) My other classmates all have to ‘hunt’ outside. You see, when my friends from another colleges told me that almost every guy got a girl friend in his class and they have a lot of options. I was so envy!!! Arrgghh! Should study business!! =P

As I typed until here, a lot of memories came across my mind. I think better to keep it in my heart.

Okay, my achievement in UNITEN is being the top student in ME (but I don’t have girl friend yet like my seniors four years back). First class, yeah, I got it, piece of cake (Just kidding). =P

My first award from Uniten.

My second award. I simply like the name of this award. hehe.

MBA

2010-06-11T23:11:00.001+08:00

.
.
.
.

I just received an offer letter from UNITEN to study MBA. Why MBA? This is because the limit is up to the sky for business. I am thinking whether to take it at this moment or not.

Currently I am appointed as a Condition Monitoring Engineer in Genting Energy. I am the only one in the newly formed department which I have to set up all the procedures and techniques for condition monitoring. What is condition monitoring? It is a predictive maintenance; we continuously monitor the health of the plant to minimize the break down time and to ensure failure could be predicted at the early stage.

A decision made will result great changes in everything and of course commitment for 2 years. I have to consider my financial status. No more using my parents’ hard earn money, but my own hard earn money. RM 22,468++ from my own pocket. Should I take it?

I would like to express my gratitude here to my Final Year Project supervisor Prof. Dr. Ir. Ramesh for giving an A and the guidance of life to me so that I can increase my CGPA. Thank you. =)

Yayasan Negeri Sembilan!!! I am loving it!

Anugerah Kelas Pertama and UNITEN is recognized by them (I was disappointed last time because UNITEN was not recognized)! If I am not mistaken, they will give RM 10,000 for first class honor! $.$ hehe. I will go to ask about it on monday. YES!!! I have bullets to invest! I am really happy now!!!

Scaffolding 3 in 1 Competent Person

2010-05-05T21:36:00.003+08:00

Just after I had finished my final, my dad asked me to attend a basic scaffold course. (Instruction from dad =P) It was a 6 days training + 2 days examination course. What is a scaffold? A scaffold is a temporary structure for support, load, access, protection and storage. (Yeah, I still remember. My memory is still good) Still has no idea? For example, in a construction site, usually there are frames set up around the building. They are called scaffold as shown below.

At first, I thought it would be easy by just sitting in the classroom listening to lectures. I found out that I was wrong on the second day when we went to field to erect scaffold (practical part) for 4 days. We were using GI steel tubes as components of the scaffold. GI steel + hot sun = very heavy and hot steel tubes! However, I enjoyed working with my new friends from vast background in erecting the scaffold.

Finally, I had made it! I am now a registered certified competent person for basic scaffold. My signature now can earn money for me! $.$

For those who are interested, you can go to take this course because you can earn extra income by just signing. BUT, make sure that you don't have height phobia! (Honestly, I have a tad of height phobia, working at height is not easy!!) Fees is RM2,500. I am going for a intermediate level in this coming May 17th, Melacca to increase my signature value! Hehe.

New friends with totally different background.

Took 2 hours to erect it. I thought that's it. I can go home.

The trainers were not satisfied with a low level scaffold. They instructed us to erect a 4.5m or 3 storey scaffold. (Working at height is not easy at all, hard earn money)

My practical test is 2 bays 3 lifts. 4.8 metre scaffold. I did it!!! =)

$$$

2010-03-23T18:25:00.001+08:00

There are two more weeks to go before I graduate. If you ask me, am I feeling happy? I will say NO. Graduate from college meaning that’s the end of student life and it’s time to perform in life! No more playing around but have to be serious. I could feel the heavy pressure on my shoulders because I want to be a rich guy at young age. Not to say I love money but to have a better life style, money dominates in this cruel and reality world.

I don’t want to drive a kancil and get bullied on highways.

I don’t want to drive a local car that will cause me a lot of problems after 1 year or may be less than that.

I don’t want to use a phone with a keypad attached.

I don’t want to have my meals at food court.

I don’t want to go travelling with limited budget.

I don’t want to live in a place without air being conditioned (because my hostel is HOT).

I don’t want to save money by cutting down my meals and expenses.

I don’t want to pay bills, toll and petrol with a long face.

I don’t want to see the price tag before I buy. =P

Hence, I set my goals here:
1) Wear a suit with collar shirt and necktie working in office.

2) Own a reputational and money making company.

3) Buy a BMW 5 series car. It costs around RM500,000. A monthly installment of RM8333 is needed for 5 years. It is costly!

4) Own a BIG high-tech and comfort house.

5) At least not going to eat at food court everyday!

To achieve that, I have to work hard and smart. I want to become
1) 1st grade Steam engineer

2) Design engineer

3) Safety and Health officer

4) Chemical Health Risk Assessor (CHRA)

5) Last and most important – a successful businessman!

Setting my goals here is to enable me to check my progress in the later time. Happy graduation and it’s time to work hard for future!!

Why our pay is low?

2010-02-26T14:05:00.004+08:00

http://www.malaysiakini.com/letters/125197

Click on the above link. It is an article that is worth spending your time to read. I open the floor for discussion. I had highlighted points that we should be aware of.

"以美国为例，我们卖给她的是以我国汽油津贴制度之下，低于国际石油价位的附加物品（含低估的国人工资薪金），而向美国买回来的是以她近于国际石油价位的附加服务和物品，确实倒贴他人，资助他国发展。因此，低油价压着各个社会生活成本和收入所得，自欺欺人出售他国所谓大马制造 “有竞争性”的廉价产品，低估国货应当原有成本和更高的回收收入所得，无形中压迫老百姓应当的收入，即又流失与国际接轨高水平生活的契机，不是明智之举! "

I totally agree with it because the money for subsidizing the petrol comes from the taxation of the people. We (whole Malaysian) are indirectly contributing to the production cost of all the products made in Malaysia.

" 如今大马95号一升为马币1.80，其它国家没有汽油津贴政策下95号汽油一升为大约马币3.20。大马2006年GDP国民人均所得7千余美金（而2007的大马官方还没公布告示），按照大马国情，GDP成长率为4-6%来计算，那2009年GDP国民人均所得为7000 x 1.06 (2007年) x 1.06 (2008年) x 1.045 (2009年) = 美金8200。如再加上恢复接近国际原油价位的原则，以95号一升为马币3.20来计算，那大马国民人均所得的付出成本应当为3.20/1.80 x 8200 = 美金14600。这一计算就轻易把大马归纳入“中高收入”国家行列？其实这算法，真正意义是反映出大马国货真实的原国际成本和国人应当的收入所得。"

''所以，把汽油价位回归到国际水平石油价位是个转型，也是走入高收入国家计划之一步，是必然要走的路线。我想，随着油价“正常态”后，万物之价也随着上涨，这时国民应认知事理，百姓应对水平也要优化，把竞争能力有所提高，工资薪金也要逐步加快上调以反映国民更优化的竞争能力。''

I understand that it would be a tough time for us when we carry out the total removal of subsidies for fuel and gas especially for low income group (Price of goods will shoot up). However, we have to go through it. Nowadays, we enjoy low price of goods because they are all heavily subsidized. We don’t pay for the ‘real’ price but the government pays for us. Subsidy is not helping us because the government’s money actually comes from us. Those who enjoy the benefits are people who produce and export products using subsidized petrol. Agree?

Health is everything!

2010-02-25T19:32:00.002+08:00

My far cousin is diagnosed to have leukemia which is blood cancer. He is going through the first stage of chemotherapy. During my visit, he looked so weak and couldn’t raise his hand up. I was SHOCK when I saw tubes going in and out from his body. I am worrying about him. Dear God, I pray that You give him the strength to go through the chemotherapy and please help him with your divine strength and love in his recovery.

From now onward, I will :
• Sleep early before 12 am ( a MUST do )
• Avoid second hand smoke. ( Cancer incubator)
• Have my breakfast everyday. (Jun Jie’s Professor said if we skip our breakfast for a day, our life will be shorter for a day!! We are prone to have cancer!!)
• Drink more water.
• Eat more fruit. ( An apple a day keep the doctor away)
• Adopt healthy lifestyle!

Health is wealth, Health is everything.

Jogoya

2010-01-27T14:10:00.005+08:00

I made a call to Jogoya this afternoon and was frustrated by the phone receptionist. Therefore, I made an online complaint to the Jogoya. Here is how the story goes:

" I am here to complain about the service I received recently from your phone receptionist.

I called Jogoya on 27th of January 2010 at 12:15pm to find out on the availability of the restaurant on next Thursday evening. The receptionist asked me if I would want to make a reservation. As I have to get confirmation from my friends before making the reservation, I politely replied “no”. Not only did she not wait for me to finish my sentence, she bristled at my reply and straight away hung up. Needless to say, I was quite frustrated and it was RUDE! As a customer, this is not the kind of service I would expect from an established restaurant like Jogoya and I am utterly disappointed with the rude treatment from this particular receptionist.

I believe and hope that Jogoya will uphold its motto of providing a warm service to all customers and take prompt actions against these inappropriate responses towards customers. I sincerely hope that I would get a reply on this matter before I invite my friends and family again to Jogoya.

Thank you. "

Thank you for correcting my complaint :-)

2010-01-16T23:44:00.001+08:00

Sorry to my blog followers for my not up-to-date blog. I am busy in writing my thesis because my final year project supervisor is going to read it line by line, chapter by chapter. As you know, my supervisor is Prof. Ir. Dr. Ramesh, he is very stringent in giving out an A. Unfortunately, I want an A for my FYP so I have to do it perfectly without flaw. Here are some updates from my past few weeks:

It is my 22nd birthday!! 1218..

Thank you Choi Wan for your fine cake =)

Thank you Jason Lee for your Wii!! =D

Thank you everyone for the present.. I like it very much!!

After one week of my birthday, (18+7=25) it was CHRISTMAS! I like my birthday because after a week, it will be christmas. New year is a week after that. So many holidays!

Snow war!

I was suprise to receive a card from my lovely friends. :-)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Pui Kuan and Shin-E!! ( I like the ESPRIT button)

Another week after christmas (25+7=1), it was new year! 2010, have you bought your ticket to board the ship in year 2012? We went to Port Dickson to have a feel of the new year celebration and had fun capturing special effect using DSLR.

Happy New Year!

Thank you Wai Foong for the j ( i like the dot) and Steve Chan for your camera..

Shopping Spree!

2009-12-16T00:19:00.000+08:00

Shopping spree! Last Wednesday, Steve Chan and I went to Esprit at the Pavilion pampering ourselves with some new clothes. Here is our bill:

The total amount is RM 1,149.20.
Of course we came with preparation. Steve took out a 40% discount voucher. ;)
Deduct with the discount amount of RM459.68,
we need to pay only RM 689.52.

Is 40% a good discount? I don’t know whether I had a great deal or not. However, I hardly see Esprit slashes its price. =P Back to home we realized that the cashier lost her count. We bought 9 clothes but she just took as 8 clothes. Buy 8 free 1. We are sorry. Here is our booty:

答案

2009-12-07T03:54:00.004+08:00

等待了一年半，今天我终于得到了答案。
虽然不是我想要的答案，却让我可以停止对你的思念，也把这段感情画上了句号。
谢谢你曾经给我的美好回忆。祝福你。

答应不爱你

2009-11-16T12:37:00.003+08:00

明明爱很清晰却又接受分离
我只剩失恋的权利
难过还来不及爱早已融入呼吸
不存在的存在心底

虽然很努力练习着忘记
我的心却还没答应可以放弃了你
真的对不起答应了你不再爱你
我却还没答应我自己

说好要忘记偏偏又想起
原来我的心还没有答应放弃了你
真的对不起虽然曾经答应了你
我却还没答应我自己
却又如何真的不爱你

Sushi King - RM 2 is back!

2009-10-14T21:01:00.001+08:00

Yesterday, it was a hectic day. We had one presentation for Industry Energy Management subject and test 2 for Economic for Engineers. Our group received "Good presentation, it was interesting & straight to the point" from our lovely Associate Professor Dr. Mohd Hariffin. Thank you and good job to my partner Jason Lee. So far, we are the best group in the presentation. (hehe)

Since we had done our presentation well, Jason Lee proposed to celebrate at Sushi King Mid Valley because there is a RM2 promotion for all the rice-based sushi. However, he somehow managed to get his pilot license yesterday when we reached Mid Valley car park. (Hehe, just kidding, I understand that girl friend is always the first priority) ;) The normal price for Unagi sushi is Rm6 but now it is just RM2. I had 8 plates of that. Girls and guys, tomorrow is the last day for the Sushi King promotion. Hurry!

Digi Campus - Always the smarter choice

2009-09-30T19:39:00.004+08:00

The telco price war breaks out when Maxis slashed the call rate for its prepaid plan by launching ‘Hotlink Youth Club’ for youth age below 25. As expected, Digi reaction was quick. It came out with ‘Digi Campus’ to retaliate with an equally compelling package to lure new youth subscribers. Let’s have a look on the price war!

The Telco H in red color is Hotlink Youth Club while the yellow color stands for Digi Campus.

Compare with the existing prepaid plan, the Hotlink Youth Club and Digi Campus are indeed attractive plans for students and youth. The average call rate for prepaid plan is RM0.33/min while the average Youth Plan call rate is RM0.15/min. A significant price slashing of more than 50%!

Since the call rate is low and I am eligible to the terms and conditions (student and age below 25), what am I waiting for? I changed my call plan immediately! However, the decision wasn’t easy to make when both of the options look attractive and competitive. Going through the call plans and pressing calculator again and again, finally, I had chosen Digi Campus. The decision made was not because of the Digi motto: " Always the smarter choice " >.<" but it was supported by some reasons.

Reason 1: Digi Campus is meant for couple and for those who can talk for hours!

Digi offers free calls within the same network after RM2 of total daily usage. How much it can save?

Digi: For instance, by setting my girl friend into one of the 11 Friend and Family, the call rate is RM0.08/min. If I call her for 30 minutes, it costs me RM2.40/day. Due to the FREE CALLS after RM2, I just have to pay RM2/day.

Hotlink: If I am using hotlink, the call rate is RM0.12/min. Hotlink will charge me RM3.60 for a 30 minutes call.

I have to pay 80% more! If my Digi bill is RM30, I have to pay Hotlink RM54 for the same call usage. The FREE CALLS AFTER RM2 is simply irresistible!

(*It is important noting here that, I call my girl friend not because the call rate is cheap but it is because I miss her. Even though the call rate is high, I do call her daily.*)

Reason 2: Digi Birthday Bonus
Digi gives 50% addition talk time bonus on your birthday upon reload up to RM500. What most people will do is they will reload a large amount on their birthday. A RM200 reload will receive addition RM100 talk time. $.$

All in all, Digi-- Always the smarter choice ;)

A4 papers

2009-09-23T18:33:00.003+08:00

Yesterday I went to buy A4 papers at Tesco Hypermarket in Seremban. I couldn’t decide which brand to buy when I reached the A4 papers section because there were many brands available. Double A looked attractive in quality, Tesco Choice looked cheap and Bright (new brand I think) looked competitive in price! Which one should I buy??

The paper manufacturers are smart businessmen. They lower the price at the same time they lower the number of sheets too! You may think that you have bought something cheap, however, the truth is although the A4 papers are cheap but you have fewer sheets of papers! (绝代商骄-->合理化烟雾 business theory) For example, Double A offers RM11.50 with 500 sheets while Tesco Choice offers RM8.35 with 450 sheets of papers.

So how to decide which one should I buy? As an engineer, to compare which one is the cheapest, let calculate all the brands in Ringgit/sheets (so that sheets is not a factor).

For 80GSM A4 paper
(note: GSM=gram per square meter, it means the thickness & quality, high GSM meaning it has high thickness & quality):

*Tesco value A4 Paper
440 sheets---RM 7.90--- RM/sheet 0.0180 (cheapest)

*Tesco choice A4 Paper (Tesco has two different types of A4 paper)
450 sheets---RM 8.35--- RM/sheet 0.0186

*Bright A4 Photocopy Paper
440 sheets---RM 8.90--- RM/sheet 0.0202

*PaperOne All Purpose Paper A4
500 sheets---RM 11.49---RM/sheet 0.0230

*Double A Premium Quality Paper
500 sheets---RM 11.50---RM/sheet 0.0230 (most expensive)

For 70GSM A4 paper

*Bright A4 Photocopy Paper
440 sheets---RM 6.50 ---RM/sheet 0.0148 (cheapest)

*Tesco value A4 Paper
440 sheets---RM 6.90 ---RM/sheet 0.0157

*PaperOne All Purpose Paper A4
500 sheets---RM 9.90 ---RM/sheet 0.0198 (most expensive)

In conclusion, Tesco Value A4 is the cheapest which is RM0.018/sheet while Double A is the most expensive which is RM0.023/sheet for 80GSM A4 papers. You have to pay 28% more per sheet for 80GSM Double A papers! For 70GSM A4 papers, Bright appears to be the cheapest among the others which is RM0.0148/sheet while the highest price is RM0.0198/sheet which means you have to pay 34% more per sheet for 70GSM category!

(note: we have to look into quality of the papers as well. For normal usage, the quality of the A4 papers are almost the same)

September Babies

2009-09-21T16:03:00.003+08:00

I have abandoned my blog for quite a long time because I have to do assignmentssS and study for testssS. I promise I will write more frequently. When September came, I realized I have plenty of Virgo friends. Let me highlight my close friends’ birthday celebration.

Curry Egg: Happy birthday to you. May all your wishes come true. You had a memorable EggieQue moment. =) http://curryegg.blogspot.com/

Pei Saan: Happy birthday to you 090909! (Where are the photos? I have been waiting since 090909. All accidentally deleted??)

Jason Lee: Housemate, happy birthday to you! And congratulation for (n+1) <3 [no more lonelykidd!] hehe.

Makiyo: Happy birthday to you! I am sorry for not being able to turn up on that day (20092009) but I have prepared a present for you. I will upload the photo later since I haven’t given to you.

Happy Raya Aidilfitri to all my Malay friends. Because of you, I have one week holiday and horrible traffic jams! The traffic was terrible on Friday night when I went to fetch my sister in Sunway. I was trapped in the heavily congested traffic for more than 1.5 hours before I can reach Sunway College from Kajang. I saw minor accidents on the road the way back to home. Guys and girls, drive safely when back to class. Speed can kill!

Raining cat and dog + High traffic load = Heavily Congested Traffic

I went to visit my grandma in Kuala Pilah because moon cake festival is around the corner. If I am not mistaken, it is on 3rd of October. There is a very famous moon cake bakery shop in Kuala Pilah 马口南发饼家. The red bean paste moon cake is very delicious! It can compete with 大同月饼. Thumbs up!

南发豆沙月饼 Rating: 9.1/10

DiGi-Deep Green Challenge

2009-08-28T20:58:00.005+08:00

Recently, DiGi organizes a go green competition and came to UNITEN. The price for the 1st place is RM70,000! Our renewable energy class is selected to take part (because it is the most relevant course regarding to the competition) to save our environment by trying to reduce the energy usage of the air conditioning system in the Radio Based Station (RBS). Reduce in energy usage will therefore reduce the CO2 emission to the environment (Sustainability). Two 2.5hp air conditioners are running 24/7 alternatively. The average energy bill for the air conditioning system is RM400/month. Our challenge is to design a technical model that minimizes the energy consumption and at the same time the Return on Investment (ROI) has to be more than 50% and payback less than 2 years.

A team of 8 consists of Jason Lee, Kok Wei, Chun Hong, Yik Hong, Kiang Wei, Zhi Xing, Wai Yan and me. Jason Lee is indeed a report designer. The first time he proposed the report format and the team role (I am surprise!!), I can let him do the rest without any worry.

Chun Hong is good in drawing the schematic diagrams of the ideas. (I want to show but the idea is confidential until 1st of September. Maybe next time?) Kok wei, without you, we won’t go till so far. Last but not least, thank you Kiang Wei and Zhi Xing for the information searching and Challenge 2.

The difficulty of this competition is the low energy bill of the air conditioning. It is very hard to save $$ from the RM400 because we have to take care of the payback (engineering devices are costly). Nothing much can be done! Initially, we proposed three options which are the close loop water cooling system, heat recovery adsorption chiller, and solar thermal adsorption chiller. We are lucky to be selected for our proposal. Millions thank you to our advisor Associate Professor Ir. Dr. Erie Sandhita for voicing out our ideas and support us in the meeting of proposal selection.

Being selected --> have more sleepless night. Our team has to stay up until 4am for three days to refine the proposal in order to compete with the other universities. Now, we are doing inverter technology and our proposal is 97% done! Thank you brothers for all the effort that you all put in. Good luck and all the best to our team! (RM70000 divided by 8 = RM8750 per person $.$) hehe.

Rest in peace my dear friend..

Genting Sanyen Power Family Day

2009-07-29T20:51:00.002+08:00

Last week, I got my Final Year Project title which is “Effect of Alumina Addition on the Mechanical Properties of TiO2 Ceramic” under supervision of Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. Ramesh Singh. (Prof. Madya Ir. Dr.) --> A very intelligent and knowledgeable professor. It is a research based project that requires me to do a lot of literature reviews and experiments. Unlike design projects, I don’t have to spend money on building up prototypes which sometimes cost more than thousands. I still remember the conversation with him on the first day I met him.

Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. : Why you want to take my project?
JH : Because I can progress after I graduate.
Prof. Madya Ir. Dr. : What is your CGPA?
JH : My CGPA is _._ _ (CGPA is more important than my name)

He explained to me later that why he wanted to look to my CGPA first is because he wanted to see whether we can have what sought of talking……… (Censored out due to sensitive contents). In short, CGPA is very important. I had a happy conversation with him and will try my BEST to score!

Last Friday, I bought a new modified refillable cartridge for my Epson printer CX3900 at Lowyat Plaza. This modified refillable cartridge requires less maintenance and is problem free compare to the Continuous Ink Supply System (CISS) that I previously installed. If you are having dilemma in selecting which modified system is the best or genuine cartridge, I would recommend modified refillable cartridge rather than CISS or genuine cartridge. Below are the proving: (Engineers are well trained in proving)

CISS -->
Cost: RM 200
Advantage: Do not have to top up the ink.
Disadvantage: If there are bubbles inside the system, high maintenance skills are required! Believe me, it’s not an easy task.

Modified refillable cartridge -->
Cost: RM 70
Advantages: Problem free from the bubbles and complicated transmission system.
Disadvantage: Have to refill the ink when the ink level runs low. (May be refill once a month, depends on the usage)

Genuine cartridge -->
Cost: RM (120 x N times)
Advantage: Compatible problem free.
Disadvantage: Costly and cartridge cannot be refilled. Unlike the CISS and Modified refillable cartridge that require one time initial cost.

Modified Refillable Cartridge

4 x 100 ml refill inks that can print up to 2000 pages!

Last Saturday, it was our annually Genting Sanyen Power family day at Genting Awana Resort! This is the time to know all the junior scholars. (Time flies! I have become senior dy). Again, let the pictures tell the story on that day. May be this is my last Genting family day? (I am sorry, only certain people will know why. Hehe.)

On Saturday, we went to Ipoh to try some of the famous food --> the Lou Wong Ipoh bean sprout chicken and the ‘tau fu hua’. Luckily Jason Lee didn’t bring us to the Ipoh Old Town Coffee to have our lunch. If he does so, we will definitely kill him! (FYI, Old Town Coffee cafes are everywhere in KL!) The ‘Lai Kei tau fu hua’ that Jason Lee recommended is so FINE and DELICIOUS!!! The ginger sugar is just nice and best fit to the ‘tau fu hua’. I like to eat ‘tau fu hua’ and always look for great one. This ‘Lai Kei tau fu hua’ is the BEST!

After staying an hour in Ipoh, we started our long journey to the Cameron Highlands for the Harmonica concert. From our previous experiences, we had prepared plastic bags for Jason Lee. Luckily he was fine. Thank you Pei Saan for inviting us and the tickets (RM180 each). Due to too many things to wrap up for the Cameron trip and I believe that pictures paint a thousand words so let the pictures summarize for me. Last but not least, I have a wonderful Cameron Trip!

Last Friday, Jason Lee and I were planning to have our dinner at Cheras大排档 to try 蚝煎 and 糖水. However, unfortunately, due to heavy traffic jam and unfamiliar with the roads in Cheras we had dinner in Mid Valley Kim Gary. 蚝煎 and 糖水, we will come to you soon. For your information, Malaysia Mega Sales is on!!! Every shop is on SALES!!! 70%!! It’s time to SHOP!!

Mix Curry (correct me if i am wrong) Steve Chan's favorite

Also is Steve Chan's favorite!

On Sunday, I fetch my father to Melacca to have eyes treatment from a traditional Chinese physician (中医师). The physician (he) is very famous until the Singaporean is willing to travel all the way to get his treatment. The result of his treatment is good and satisfactory. According to my father, ‘I am not afraid of the sun light anymore’. I am not advertising here (didn’t get any single cent) but just want to share with you all. If your parents or friends have eyes problem, you can try this. Leave a message if you would like to know the details.

If you read Jason Lee’s blog, we have 5 hours break on Monday. This week we went to sing K at Puchong Neway. (I dunno who proposed dy) The Neway is much more luxury than the red and green box. I am impressed with the design of the interior of the K rooms. It is very HIGH class but we paid at student rate for just RM 5++ including a lunch and drink. Love to be a student.

New Semester --> Food Hunting Semester

2009-07-09T18:52:00.000+08:00

New semester begins and it’s great to be a student again! No more staying in the office for > 8.5 hours long. @.@ And I can take a nap in the afternoon! I have changed my priority in arranging my time table for this semester. Friends are my first consideration because in the future we wouldn’t study together anymore. (Jason Lee, we will miss you when you are back to Ipoh) Mean while, I didn’t mess up the subjects. All the subjects I am taking are the road to Oil and Gas.

This semester will be a food hunting semester. Since I am a student I am free to travel anywhere at any time I like. Jason Lee has proposed Melaka Satay Celup for the next station. Let’s go! Keith Tan, you want to join us? (because we need a tour guide =P) Below are the snap shots of the first week of the food hunting:

人生有多少个十年？

2009-06-28T23:00:00.000+08:00

Yahoo! My industrial training has come to the end and I have one week holiday! Time flies. I still remember the first day when I was at KLPP worrying about the uncertainties and how to go through the three months. Fortunately I have other scholars to accompany so that my life wasn’t dull at all.

Last Wednesday was our final presentation of what have we done during the three months to the bosses and engineers. The management team will determine who will join the organization base on our performance. Thus, I was busying preparing my power point slides for the past three weeks. (Reason for why I didn’t upload my blog)

The day before the presentation, the tension was very high because a lot of questions will be asked from the bosses during the presentation and I have to answer them well. I couldn’t sleep (first time because of assignment I couldn’t sleep) and my mind was thinking of possible questions that will be coming up. Luckily I managed to answer the questions well. Comment I received is: ' eager to understand and learn all the assignments given. Well done & good job!' ^^V Here I want to specially thank you to miss Regina Wong. She helped and covered us a lot. We (scholars) appreciate that very much.

After the three months of the industrial training, I gained a lot of knowledge that are out of the book (the real world) and opened my eyes. However, my knowledge gained is just 1% and there are 99% waiting for me to learn. Besides, hardworking of Mr. Rajeswaran (one of the engineers) really impressed me. His pace on everything is always quick and rapid. Therefore, I will spend my time more wisely and be more hardworking to learn and be prepared to take new challenges because人生没有多少个十年. I want to live meaningfully and memorable.

Below are some the photos for the past three months:

Father And Mother I Love You. Last weekend I watched小孩不笨2 again. It touches my heart.

There is a scene where the father is canning his kid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQ0t9-Vabs

Father : 你为什么要偷钱?!买怎么多Pokemon卡干吗?
Kid : 我没有买Pokemon卡…
Father : Then?
Kid : 我只是想买你的一个小时的时间来看我的演出. (touching… T.T)

The father and mother stunned. Their children have to save money to buy their time to be with them. Here, I make a promise to my future wife and my little sons and daughters. Daddy will always spend time with you all and be the best and lovely father and husband. Love you all.

When come to satay, most of us will think of Kajang satay. Though I am staying in Kajang for years, I seldom go to eat Kajang satay because in Seremban there is a very nice satay stall. The satay stall is running by one of my best buddies so I don’t have to pay a single cent for all the great satays. (winks ^^ thanks you Jen Kent for your satays over the years) You can try satays that are made by pork (yummy!) that you are hardly to find elsewhere.

Ipoh is famous of bean sprouts chicken and white coffee. Well, Seremban is famous of chicken porridge and 烧包. I just had my dinner with my father and ‘future colleague’ Crusaderz Wee Ser Tan at the famous chicken porridge restaurant in Temiang street. There, the porridge is so fine and the chicken is soft and delicious. Thumbs UP! Sometime, I would think it is better than the bean sprouts chicken in Ipoh and Kajang. That’s why I always recommend to Jason Lee (It has been a long time I didn’t see you, what is your hairstyle now?) to have a try and compare. So far we haven’t done it yet. My future colleague wanted to buy 正宗芙蓉烧包 but it’s too late. All the shops are closed. I will buy for you next time. Last but not least, I love Seremban!

Below are some of the snap shots:

Can you speak English?

2009-05-17T18:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, my father brought me along to observe how to do business. We had our meeting with a boiler consultant (he) from India at Victoria Station.

“Can you speak English?” he asked me after starring at me for some time.
“Yes, of course. I am speaking English right now.” I replied. =.=”

He seemed unbelievable and asked me to read out the ingredients of the chili sauce. (I forgive him on that) It was piece of cake and I did it perfectly. Oh my goodness, people in India don’t think that we can speak in English. We have to prove ourselves to the world. Or do I look like a person just transferred from China?

Recently, quite a large number of students with 12A1, 13A1 and 11A1 failed to obtain scholarship from JPA. According to a government officer, “With their flying colour result, they should have stayed in Malaysia to further their studies. Let the intermediate students (7As, 8As) to go overseas!” [So, please do not study so hard. If you wish to get sponsored, 7As, 8As or 9As are the right amount of As. For those who are studying locally, we are recognized as best students! ] We are exporting our geniuses to nearby countries free of charge and eliminate the ability of our nation to work hard and think.

For example, during my industrial training, he likes to copy and follow my ideas and innovation. I am really fed up with him because he duplicates my ideas and presents the same things to our supervisors. Imagine, you are creating something new after some critical thinking; a guy just duplicates your idea and both of us receive good comments. Definitely, you will be frustrated. Sometime, his products failed because he didn’t know the principal behind it and just copied blindly.

In the end, I am well trained to use the Alt+Tab buttons. Initially, I will open up a blank window. Whenever I hear his footsteps, I will press Alt+Tab to jump to the blank window. I have no choice but to do this. You are a scholar, please think and don’t copy my work.

The bread is delicious ^^

It is durian season again!!

2009-05-09T14:10:00.001+08:00

It is durian season again!! I was busy managing and taking care of my durian farm these few weeks. (That’s the reason I didn’t upload my blog) I have to mark all the 73 durian trees in the farm by using spray paint. It was fun to spray and it brought out the sense of my art. Now I know why there are a lot of vandalism cases everywhere. I bet you will be addicted to it once you have tried it. Baby durians are hanging all over the trees and expected to fall in June. If you like to eat durians or would like to try, just let me know. I will reserve D24, D12 and 黄肉干包 to you for FREE!

Every day after coming back from work, my housemates and I will sit in front of the TV at 8.30pm sharp to watch lljimae 一支梅 starring by Lee Jun Ki (a Korean Drama). It is one of the BEST dramas!!

In KLPP, thank you to the GSP boiler supervisor for your VERY detail explanation and demonstration. You were sweating all the time while showing us detail demonstration. (I am touch). I appreciate all the information that you told us and the way you tried to clear our doubts. Thank you.

Last Friday 8th of May was Shin e’s birthday. Happy birthday to you!

Industrial training - Kuala Langat Power Plant

2009-04-12T23:17:00.000+08:00

I have been taking Genting Sanyen Power (one of the subsidiaries group from Genting Berhad) a.k.a GSP scholarship for three years yet I have no idea how my sponsor’s Kuala Langat Power Plant looks like. I always think is it the same as what I read in my text books? Am I studying irrelevant things? Now I am able to tell that I am not wasting my time in UNITEN. It is very similar to what I am studying.

For engineers:

Kuala Langat Power Plant is a 720MW gas fired combined cycle power plant. In the combined cycle power plant, the gas turbine will first burn natural gas (>1000 degree C) to generate electricity in the first power cycle. The exhaust gas a.k.a waste heat from the gas turbine (>500 degree C) will then route to the Heat Recovery Steam Generator a.k.a HRSG or boiler to produce steam for the second steam power cycle to generate additional electricity. Kuala Langat power plant is one of the most efficient power plants in Malaysia which is 51.75%.

For non-engineers:

720MW = 720,000,000 Watt. A typical fluorescent light consumes 22 watts. Therefore, 720MW can light up 32,000,000 (32 million) fluorescent lights.

To be more realistic, the electricity bill in Malaysia is calculated base on kWh. We have to do some math here.

Converting 720MW to kWh will be 43,200,000 kWh. According to the TNB electricity tariff, the cheapest tariff is RM 0.218/kWh.

(note: this tariff is just for the first 200 units. For any extra units, the tariff will be RM 0.334/kWh)

Thus, RM 0.218/kWh x 43,200,000 kWh= RM 9,417,600/hour or RM 9.4 million/hour.

RM 9.4 million will be the amount that TNB receive for every hour. The above calculation is the payment that TNB will receive from the public. It is just a very rough calculation. For power plants, the calculation will be different. The attention that I want to draw here is with just a power plant the profit that it can gain sometime is out of our imagination……….(sensitive here so censored out).

My working environment

Every day I will sit in front of my laptop busy calculating (one of the job scopes of engineers) and doing the assignments given by my seniors a.k.a supervisors. I have to recall back all the theories and apply them. Sometime, I will be at the ALSTOM mini library to search for information to complete my tasks. So far, I have successfully created some programs using PI (π) Process Book to monitor the operation of the power plant. ^^ My senior said he has never expected me to do this. GOOD! ( No pictures are available here because I want to abide the contract that I signed).

I appreciate the job I am working now because I can sit most of the time and use my brain to work. Compare to last year when I was working as a waiter at the Curve Dragon-I, I had to stand/run for 8.5 hrs per day and every morning I had to carry and arrange 30+ chairs (The chairs are not made in plastic but HEAVY steel, you can ask Chun Hong how heavy it is). During the working period in Dragon-I, I always have the thought of ‘With my qualification I shouldn’t have to do this kind of job’. I have PROMISED myself that in the future I will NEVER ever use my strength to work but my intelligence. I am proud to be an engineer because I can design devices for example power plants or factories or machines that could gain profit by themselves with minimum supervision so that the profits will be automatically earned and multiply with how many devices I have made. One man can only earn little without any good partners.

(note: partners in this case will be the devices). Everyone please study hard!!!

My Meal

GSP provides lunch to all the staff. I like the pantry in the office because every morning I can have my breakfast there for free. I can cook Maggie mi using the oven or make some special drinks there. During lunch time, I will go to the canteen. There will be SIX different types of Chinese cuisines consist of 1 fish + 1 chicken + 2 vegetables + 2 types of special cuisines (most likely 炸料理) + FRUITS (never expect fruits will be on the dining table!). What a balance diet that follows thoroughly the pyramid of food. Every day the food will be different and special. I have tried the 奶油虾, 芋头饭, 鸡饭, 大鱼丸, ABC soup (yummy!!), Laksa, Nasi Lemak. Of course, I take all the six dishes as MUCH as I can and I don’t have to pay a single cent. If I do this at outside, it will cost me at least RM 7.00. However, for dinner, I have to pay on my own. Maximum RM5 per dinner. I just need to pay RM 80 for my meal per month because I will go back on every weekend. I can save all my allowance. Hehe. ;)

My Apartment

My apartment is very near to the power plant so I am still on my bed at 7.30am. I have no worry about being late and the heavy traffic jam in KL in the morning. (Tension FREE!) My room is equipped with air conditioning system and water heater. Every night I have to wrap myself like a mummy because my roommate will set the temperature to 21 degree C. (He said he feels hot with 26 degree C). :-S To my surprise, there is housekeeping service for my apartment every weekend. I don’t have to clean my room at all and the bed sheet will be replaced with a clean one every weekend. Thank you Genting Sanyen Power. ^^

At last, I have finished all my final examination papers and Electro Mechanical System a.k.a. EMS Project. It had been more than a month I didn’t go for outing. After the super duper busy week, I had to sit for my final for two weeks. No rest at all! (T.T) Every day I had to stay at home to study or do project. My brain is saturated with all the theories. My body and I are EXHAUSTED, we need rest. I want to sleep for more than 5 hours per day. I want to take a nap in the afternoon. I want to watch movies. I want to shop. Although the semester is finished but I just have one day to rest. Tomorrow, I will be heading to Genting Sanyen Power Station for industry training at 6 am. Happy one day holiday to me and my friends who have just finished their last paper on Saturday.

Though I had to scarify my sleeping time but all my efforts paid in the end. For the EMS project, we have to do animations and a prototype of a three phase induction motor in three days. No one has the skills to use Macromedia Flash software. Jason and I tried our best to produce animations by using Flash. It was a hard time for us since we had to learn from zero and meet the time constraint. However, after long time sitting in front of my laptop, we managed to produce four animations!! Hohoho.

During presentation, our group received excellent comments from our lecturer Dr. Khairul. He said: ‘This one will definitely get full marks! Your group really wants to score (Of course =P). I will show your animations to students of next semester. I have no question to ask you’ BRAVO!! We feel great and in high spirit!! (^-^) V Thank you to all my group members: Jason Lee, Chun Hong, Kok Wei, and Yik Hong. Below are the animations:

(note: suppose all the animations are continuously rotating in loops but since blogger doesn't support .swf format so they just rotate once)

容忍的人其實並不笨, 只是寧可對自己殘忍

2009-03-21T15:49:00.000+08:00

Finally, I have finished all the projects and presentations which drove me crazy.. Now, I can sleep for more than 5 hours.. huuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh.. BIG relief.. Last week was a super duper busy week.. Each day due one long report..

Monday – Mechanical Design Process a.k.a MDP report (70 pages)
+ Sport and work place management report (25 pages) &
presentation (I like the presentation, we danced for the intro)

Wednesday – Thermofluid Lab final exam

Thursday – MDP presentation ( good comments from instructor )

Friday – Engineers in Society a.k.a EIS report (50 pages)
+ Technical Communication report ( 30 pages)

The most difficult report for me is the Technical Communication report because I was the only one who wrote the report while the other groups had at least one group member to help in the report (FYI, all the groups consist of minimum 5 persons).. My life was miserable because of my S _ _ _ group mates!!!

Although they did sent me the assigned tasks to me but the problem was they simply did the tasks.. I couldn’t put the tasks inside the report.. The same things returned to me again when I asked for correction.. I had NO choice at all.. I want to score the subject so I did it solely.. All the marks should belong to me!! 5 times more efforts than other classmates..

You may wonder why don’t I select my group mates.. Well, initially I was in a group which everyone in the group is willing to put in effort.. However, unfortunately, there were people in the class didn’t put effort to form a group.. (See they didn’t even try to form a group, how am I going to expect QUALITY outputs from them)..She dragged me out from the group and promised will take care of me and the group………………….......(sensitive here so censored out)..

To my group mates in TECB class: I want QUALITY output from you not GARGABE!!! If you didn’t do your part properly and correctly, bear in mind that someone else will need to do for it.. The report wouldn’t fall from the sky.. ( 容忍的人其實並不笨, 只是寧可對自己殘忍) I want to score but have no choice to do it on my own..

In my opinion, I think the same thing is happening to some groups also.. ( Land slide, ok? =P) The TECB class should allow students to choose their own group because there are people who are willing to put in effort while some are not.. If you put them together, the lazy bump will get a free ride.. If there are no multi-races groups, I bet………………………………

Below are some of the examples:

''Once a source of drinking water, many rivers in Malaysia have become dumping grounds for various types of hazardous wastes. Of all natural resources.''

I thought International students are good and hardworking.. I don't know what you are writing.. If you want to cut and paste, at least make it to be perfect.. Whenever you couldn't meet the deadline you just came to me and said sorry, you have tests (well, only you have test) bla bla bla then sorry and bye.. Can I say the same thing to our lecturer???? Well, you need to plan your time wisely and be responsible.. I have not very good (sounds nicer) / _ a _ impression on International students..

''was conducted on February 17, 2009 at MPKj. We had taken about 8 weeks to complete this long report and had spent about RM 50 for transportation and printings.''

This sentence is under the scope of research in the report.. Well, for academic writing, readers would not want to know how much we spent on transportation and printings.. Besides, there is ''we'' in the sentence.. I had told her not to put I, We and Our in the report.. BIG SIGH.. No choice but have to do her part..

Mechanical Design Process (^^)V

For the MDP project (spent 12 weeks), I can say that my group did very well!! Thank you for your hard work to my group mate Mr. Chun Hong a.k.a ah chan.. (PS, he was with me all the time doing the project) Without you, our group will not succeed.. Our group was designing an electrical automatic car jack system..

The prototype of the electrical automatic car jack system..

Spent 4 hours to derive this equation.. Proud of it.. =)

Below are the optimization done on the design..

The initial safety factor is too high which means the design is too safe.. Material can be saved from the design..

Cost that have been saved for one mounting head is RM0.10..

If the mounting head is to be produced for 1 million units then RM 100,000 ( house or car) can be saved!

Proud to be an engineer!!

Yesterday, my dad saw things blurly.. I brought him to see eyes specialist in Kajang.. The eyes specialist immediately sent my dad to Melaya Hospital.. My dad's eyes were very critical.. In the hospital, my dad was hardly seeing things.. I had to hold his hand all the time to guide him.. As I held his hand along the way to another department.. Feelings came into my mind and heart.. I was so afraid that he............... The operation MUST be PERFECT!! God, I am praying very hard for that.. I hope my dad will be pink in health tomorrow.. Thanks in advance..

随着自己愈长大，看着父母亲,脸庞从年轻变憔悴，头发从乌丝变白发,动作从迅捷变缓慢，多心疼！父母亲总是将最好、最宝贵的留给我们，像蜡烛不停的燃烧自己，照亮孩子！而我呢？有没有腾出一个空间给我的父母，或者只是在当我需要停泊岸时，才会想起他们...其实父母亲要的真的不多，只是一句随意的问候「爸、妈，你们今天好吗？」随意买的宵夜，煮一顿再普通不过的晚餐，帮他们添衣服...都能让他们高兴温馨很久.

朋友,那你呢?

Excited Weekend

2009-02-22T21:27:00.001+08:00

Usually I will go back to my hometown Seremban every weekend.. I enjoy the time to be with my family and sisters.. I know, as we grow up, it would be difficult for us to see each other anymore.. Besides, I can play badminton with my high school friends and look after my papaya trees(they are getting taller and going to have fruits soon) ^^.. So many interesting activities I can do in Seremban but this weekend I grudged going back.. I had to stay in Kajang to join my Sport and Recreation at Workplace project.. It was an excited weekend indeed..

On Friday, 20/2/2009, Keith Tan a.k.a Fai Jei Tat, Jason Lee a.k.a bubu, alvin law, Kok Wei and his girl friend a.k.a Mr. & Ms LOVE went to the Restaurant Shabu-Shabu in Bandar Puteri.. This restaurant was different from the other restaurants of steam bot buffet.. Everyone had his own steam bot utensil to cook his food.. The food were delivered to us by a conveyor belt which was similar to the restaurant Sushi King.. The SPECIAL thing of Shabu Shabu was the VERY thin sliced pork meats.. Believe it or not? It was so thin in thickness until once I immersed the sliced pork meat into the hot soup, it was ready to be served in the following second.. And it was YUMMY!!! The drink was a little bit special too.. They served ice blended orange and grape.. No doubt it was delicious..

Below are some of the pictures(I only have two, others are with Keith Tan):

PAINT ball == PAIN ball ??

On Sunday,22/2/2009, we went to a paintball field which was located near Amcorp Mall.. This was my first time playing paintball.. It was VERY EXCITED as I can 'KILL'(eliminate) my opponents in practical way.. During the game, my heart was beating very fast and the level of hormone adrenaline went up high.. This was a REAL war game.. If I failed to 'kill' my opponents, I would be shot by them.. FYI, it was very painful when hit by ''pain'' ball.. OUCH!!! (Pei Saan please takes note) Steve Chan a.k.a (don't have yet) had some bruises over his body but I was lucky enough to have none.. And I managed to kill three 'enemy'!! (^-^)v This sport game is good in team building.. It requires effective communication, strategies and team work to win the game.. I enjoyed it very much =)

Happy Single and Available Day..

2009-02-16T13:38:00.000+08:00

THIS POST IS STRICTLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE SINGLE AND AVAILABLE!

PLEASE LEAVE IF YOU ARE NOT SINGLE!

IF you are reading up to here and in a relationship with someone, post a message with your name and your soul mate(s)'s name in the blue chat box..

For example: [your_name]=3=[your_soul_mate's_name]..

(note: the symbol '=3=' represent [abc] is holding [xyz]'s hand)

IF you fail to do so, you will break up with your soul mate(s)!! **CURSED** :-P hehe..

Happy single and available day to all my single and available friends and myself!

I hate Valentine's day (ONLY up to the day I meet my Mrs. RIGHT) because everywhere will be flooded with all the sweet couples holding their hands hanging around while my hands are in my pockets.. Therefore, I have decided to date with my text books at my Seremban home..

**Advice: If you are single, Genting Highland and A'famosa are definitely not the places you should go on Valentine's day.. You will feel lonely seeing the couples there"..**

However, I do celebrate 'Single and Available' day.. As usual, every year Jason Lee a.k.a bubu will organise a bachelor party .. I joined his party every year!! (T.T) In 2009, we went to Look Out Point at Hulu Langat.. The light was dim, the ambiance was romantic and the night view was stunning.. I wish I won't join Jason Lee's bachelor party anymore >< (Bubu, take the courage to confess.. She is there waiting for you.. Don't miss it!)

Below is the beautiful night view (specially thanks to Vincent Ong):

Unfortunately, in this romantic month, there are a few couples broke up.. I am sorry to hear that.. Brothers, life goes on and there might be a great one waiting for you.. You lost a person who doesn't love you but she lost a person that love her very much.. Achieve your targets that you are not able to hit when you are coupled.. ~gambate-neh~

In my network, everyone bought expensive gift for his/her love one such as Ipod Touch (one of my to-buy list), Guess, very nice looking NIKE bag (boss, you must raise my salary dy), branded drinking bottle and so do I.. I bought a Carlton Racket as my Single and Available present.. (^-^)V Finally, I don't have to rely on Zhi Jian already.. Thank you for lending your racket to me all the time..

Carlton racket & shutter cocks

(RM$$$ more expensive than the Guess purse)!!

New year new resolution!

2009-02-07T15:31:00.000+08:00

My first blog in Blogger! Visiting my friends' blog and facebook is my daily routine.. I found out that all of them are putting efforts in their blogs.. Their blogs are well decorated and have a lot of stories to share with.. I do wish I have a blog like them too but tonnes of assignments and tests had killed all my time.. At last, I managed to take my time to write.. Hope you can kick me as support.. (note: kick=post a comment)

New year new resolution? Why?

This is because during the visiting to my relatives' houses I heard the conversation between my dad, my aunties and cousins.. They were sharing some great investment plans that could make big money.. ($.$) The plans they talked were deep and detail.. I was attracted to the rewards of the plans.. Since I am no longer a teenager (no more protection from my dad and mum) and I only have one year left in my college, I need to have long term financial plans to secure myself.. Here are some of my plans..

Plan A: Swiftlet Farming

The great demands of Chinese for birds nest has spawned a multi-millions ringgit business of swiftlet farming in Malaysia.. Traditionally, birds nests were harvested in caves.. It was risky to harvest them.. Now, we want to build swiftlet shop houses for the swiftlets to nest.. The cost for one house is around RM 100,000 ~ RM250,000.. If 40 swiflets nesting in it, we can earn around RM7000~RM10,000 per month.. A typical swiftlet house can have 90 swiftlets at peak.. We don't have to feed them, they will look for food by themselves.. The cost for operating and maintenance is very low.. We just need to collect the nests every month and do some cleaning.. That's it!

Well, the major resistance for me is the cost to build swiftlet houses.. I have to think how to get RM 100,000 ~ RM250,000..

Plan B: Ikan Keli (catfish, clarias batrichus)

Ikan Keli is the great demands of Malay and it is subsidised by the government.. Let me make it short.. RM 1,600 for one fish tank (8ft in diameter) that can culture up to 15,000 ikan Keli!! The pallets for the fish are cheap and the mature period for the ikan Keli is 75 days (2 and a half month). If I have 75 fish tanks then I can produce mature ikan Keli everyday..

Let's say: 1 fish is RM2(market price is 1 kg RM3), pallet+cost is RM 1, the net profit will be RM2-RM1=RM1.. If I have 10,000 fish then RM1 x 10,000 = RM10,000 per day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKjrI880zU0 (15,000 fishes in one small fish tank) This is an aquaculture company located in Hulu Langat.

This is the plan I am thinking of.. The starting cost is high but I will find some ways to solve it..

My dad's advice: "Go to join and have elderly friends, your knowledge will increase very fast..If you join friends who are same age as you, you will not gain any extra knowledge and the thinking is the same, just know how to spend!!!!!! bla bla bla".. :-P

Well, I agree with my dad.. My first step is I'll start to cut my spending and save to have positive cash flow..

Below is my motivation to move forward ;)
