2008北京奥运会

全球瞩目的2008年北京奥运会已经在昨晚画上完美的句号了。16 天的追捧，每晚放工后就期待哪位运动员破了世界纪录，哪位运动员爆冷摘金等等。。。

2008年8月8 日，我在ss2路边和一众路人在街边看北京奥运拉开序幕的那一刻（因为赶不及回酒店），心情很激动一下。这次奥运的开幕仪式已经被各方赞到天花乱坠了，不过我依然要给北京献上一个大大声的掌声。单单整个场面的视觉效果已经让我目瞪口呆了。。。好精彩！！

接下来16天的赛事更是让全球穷追不舍。这一届奥运的经典事故一点都不逊色。美国游泳猛将菲尔普斯八天夺八金，甚至可以在一个小时内进行两场决赛，夺得两金，可谓前无古人。再来，十三亿人口，26亿只眼睛盯着的刘翔突然在祖国的赛场上退赛。。。网球球王，费德勒夺得了大大小小无数的冠军宝座，但是依然得不到奥运金牌。美国“梦八”队成功重夺篮球金牌。这次最令全球关注的莫过于主办国，中国的崛起。中国在这次京奥中的表现竞艳四方，在传统弱项都有非一般的表现，最后如愿以偿，凭51 金的绝佳成绩创高峰！



天下无不散之宴席。昨晚来到了北京奥运闭幕典礼了。如果说开幕仪式让人惊叹，闭幕仪式更让人对北京的不舍。16 天精彩画面再次出现在“鸟巢”环周的手册上，直到最后一天，圣火在主题曲的伴奏下徐徐熄灭。。。过后再来一连串的精彩特技表演，加上烟花，再来很多巨星的演唱，高喊：请你留下来。北京奥运就在万般的不舍中落幕了。

这次北京的成功，让我有想去北京的冲动！！“鸟巢”和“水立方”，等着我吧！！

毕业三部曲

毕业前传：拿毕业袍

说起拿jubah，让我无法忘怀。那天被人放飞机后，因为大山脚一年一度的超级大盛事导致我没办法买到星期日的车票，被迫提早在星期六晚上出发。游荡了一天后，星期一早上6.45am去拿jubah。怎知一抵达那里，人山人海，有点不可思议。

我们几个人在那里布局后，趁着局势混乱的时候，混进人群。挤啊，挤啊。。。一直挤，挤，挤。。。直到交了表格，等着入场选jubah。选择的时候，花了一段时间，因为我一直选到有问题的，担心如果我的身体“突然膨胀”导致纽扣爆裂就不好。。。一直换，换，换，直到满意为止。

结束了疯狂的早上，我们一群人到麦当劳来个小聚会。欢乐的时光特别短，欢笑很多，但一下子就要回家了。

接着就是继续埋头苦干的工作，心里默默期待即将来临的毕业典礼。

重头戏：毕业典礼

等了四年的这一天终究还是来到了。经过了一个月多的工作熏陶下，对于校园生活渐渐淡忘了之际，如今可以重返校园参加这个盛事，还是很期待的。

毕业典礼前一天，我还在公司里埋头工作。不过不同于以往的是，我当天准时下班，十分难得！！然后，全家人赶夜班车到吉隆坡，抵达后，用完简单的早餐和梳洗后，就浩浩荡荡的前往DTC了。

毕业典礼最开心的莫过于可以再次和昔日的同窗们聚（废）在一起！！嘻嘻！！

进入礼堂后，整个场面十分严肃。表面罢了。。。我们几个被安排坐在不起眼地方的，继续谈笑风生，十分轻松。怎知在要上台之际，突然紧张起来，脸部开始紧绷，接近抽筋的状态。上台领证书的时候，知道有很多摄影镜头对着我，所以坚持要笑！！结果出来，我的笑容，真的很。。。好笑！！=)

工程系的学生就是如此不平凡，以非于常人的速度完成整个毕业典礼！！毕业典礼在两个小时内火速完成！走出礼堂后，人山人海，不只是人海，旗海也相当吸引人！当然，过后就是拍照时间。这里拍，那里拍，我还不至于见人就拍。。。

这一天就在这么冲促中结束了。结束后，我们全家人即刻到酒店check in,然后就来个痛快的。。。睡午觉！！

结局篇：还毕业袍

接下来的星期一，我留在校园准备还毕业袍。可能是经受拿毕业袍时候的折腾，今天整个场面显得莫名的冷清。人潮不见，不懂是人潮太少，还是心里的不舍，整个过程显得非常的落寞。

手续非常快地完成了。我还趁机到faculty见见我thesis的supervisor，Dr. Hamdi和mentor。最后只成功跟我的mentor畅谈了一个小时。Dr. Hamdi因为突然有会议，发了简讯跟我连声道歉。

毕业只是人生中的一环，顶着四方帽，还有重重大大件的毕业袍，从此告别我的象牙塔生活了。开始步入人生另一站。

Whatever it takes

It's been so long that I gone missing (again) from blogging...u know la, working life...actually I think that working is one nouns, there's no "life" when u are working even though u still alive. jz kidding...y so serious? Am I alright? of course! (sounds silly if I continue talking like that)haha.

One month plus alredy I'm in the real engineer's life. Two times of machine setups and a couple times of grand lunch, which is very rare incident happen in this company. People said that I'm very lucky bcoz can learn many things from machine setup, am I? I guess so gua...But the situation is going out of control sometimes. I have been crazily busy until I got no time to drink water or even forgot to go to toilet. unbelievable!

Sometimes, walking to peoduction line makes me wonder coz it will take me many many hours there. I plan to do jz one thing there, but some people will approach and ask then need help then I have to stay and problem comes up and I need to find solution and if I can't solve, I have to solve oso, and...sorry. I can't finish with one sentense lor. paiseh.

I can feel the importance of production engineer and I'm really proud of. Somehow it makes me sweat alot even in the fully and well air-conditioned working area. Immediate decision making is needed sometimes. No matter how exhausted you are, you have to be at least 50% consious when u make a decision. If a severe wrong decision is made, GOOD LUCK then.

Boring to keep talking about working laaa.

Last weekend, I went to UM to take jubah. It was a "great" and "unforgettable" experience for me. My fren and I went to exam hall to take jubah at about 6.45am on Monday. I planned to go there at 6.30pm and woke up late. Guess what? when I reached there, there were around 800 ppl queue up alredy!! siao! I heard first group of ppl queue up there came by 12 midnight. When UM staff opened counter, crazy crowd started to push forward, no queue line exists anymore. Thanks to the crowd, I walk walk and pushed pushed by others, I successfully got all my stuffs before 10am.

No matter it's working or taking jubah, I can see a spirit there. "Whatever it takes, people will continue move forward to their target". Great spirit actually. Whatever it takes, I think I can survive and tommorrow will be a better day!

p/s: "Whatever it takes" is a new song of Lifehouse. It is one of my favourite song for this moment. =)

Japanese style

I finally able to find 15 minutes to update my blog here...

this week is a *%$#@$% week for me...wordless, priceless and I learn a lot!! Since two new machines have been shipped in on tuesday, so this entire week will be doing machine setup. 5 japanese engineers and manager from headquarter came to help us.

Thanks to these japanese "big guy", I have chance to have free lunch for 3 continuous days. My big boss and vendor sure will treat those VIPs and I am surely invited lor!All is grand lunch actually, having in big restaurant!!haha!!

But, it has to be paid with hard work. I worked until 9pm every nite...oh hell! I felt so exhausted when I on my way back.damn tired...every moment I am praying the machine is running well, and I can get the expected data, get acceptable yield level.

Good thing is I have chance to learn from true japanese engineers. Forget their poor english communication skill, their other technical skill and hardworking really impressive. They really dedicated for work. We stay late coz these japanese guy work until so late.

Japanese style continues...

Tough

Update from my job...

Today I gain more knowledge and erm...kind of worried about my life after that.

I did some testing programs for classfication machine today. When I was still in uni, C++ programming then come to robotic programming...all not my cup of tea!! I'll escape from programs when I have chance but not this time. Goshhhhh!! The program for testing machine is not that hard, just the theory behind it makes me dizzy! Thanks to my poor electronic fundamentals, now I have to work hard on it... the only word I familiar with the machine is "counter"!! I learned it in robotic in my last sem. Besides that, nothing in that automatic classification machine appeared in my mind b4...

My professional little boss use sometime to explain basic knowledge of product to me. And, in the same time, I have to remember all the testing stuff. And, he keep remind me that I have to figure out how to improve the process which is the main responsibility as process engineer...sien!! Then, he asked me to come to company on this weekend for machine relocation and sorting confirmation stuff...I have no idea what's all that about. It just...this is my first week leh, give face la!! haih...very cruel!!

life is getting tougher!! much much tougher if compared to my training time...that time I only have to deal with paper and supplier. Now not only hv to deal with paper, but operators, other engineers, machines, programs, defectssss...I need some fresh air!!arghhhh...

Engineer is back

I'm an engineer...again! May b some of ppl may find that I have been dissapeared from msn and some forums that I usually browse for a couple of days...yeah!! I'm officially can claimed as engineer now!! (although I have to go thru 6 months probation period, sien!). I started working in a japanese company in Kulim on monday, very far from my sweet home. But, since it's not as far as KL, I decided to stay at home and travel for 40 minutes to work. (not including so so unfortunately meeting with big lorry and gigantic transportation...)

It has been 3 days from my first day, I decided to share here what I've been thru, jz like during my training. In this early stage, I still can breathe and have time to write blog, I must really appreciate it!! You know la, japanese company, no OT means no working life!? ridiculous!! but I have to accept it...

1st day

on very 1st day, I reporting to HR at 8.15am, 5 minutes late from the time I supposed to be there! I'm late ... but guess wat? HR even nearly forget I should show up today. sien! But they have alredy prepared la. Whole day I was sitting there with operators (all malay and indian gals) listen to talk about safety, ergonomics, security and bla blah blah...finally, I have been "sent" to my little boss, who is the engineer I am reporting to during this 6 months. He is a super hardworking engineer and passion for his job. I hope I can be like him, but the other side of me told me not to!! In the very last minute of the day, he still took me to production line and briefly told me what product type they have.

2nd day

In early morning, my little boss straightly brought me to production line and explain more about each machine. Then, he introduced me, again, to many ppl that I can't even match their name to their face...I have raw idea what I'm responsible for as a process engineer. Basically, process engineer is dealing with yield problem and have to do analysis if there are defects on product. After lunch, he assign me to do yield report for each product type in june. At first, I was like...ok ok...then, after doing that for an hour, I was...damn it!! The data was ...huge huge numbers of data!! My eyes almost pop out!! But, that's what I'm going to do every week!! In the end day, I only successfully finish report for one product...

3rd day

Luckily, my little boss don't ask me to continue doing report. And, another luckily, he is going to another branch for meeting today and will take leave after that. It means he won't be around for whole day!! I'm so relief!! He jz throw a word to me: Go to read all those details about manufacturing spec and many many things. In the morning, I spent all my time in production line to find out all machines. After lunch, I continue to reading the specification. I afraid he will test me tomoro...but bo bien...after reading and chatting and nearly sleeping, I don't understand at all...I need some proper training actually. Now still considered as "honey moon", so I must enjoy it. Later I will have the real "taste" being a real engineer...as many engineers told me here.

That's all so far...I will keep updating here...if I have time. I must tell that uni time really nice to remembered...I miss the time that I can sleep late and skip class and have supper and...many many things that I can do when I was student. Now no more!! so tired...even not doing anything required physically task...Bless me!!

泰国之行 - 完结篇

匆匆忙忙就来到了在泰国的最后一个晚上。那个时候，有些团员生病了，有些累垮了。。。淋雨造成许多人不适。不过，从MBK回来，还是要有一个最后的聚会。。。等着全部人到Silk Bar之前，Alex, Mandy和我先到隔壁的pub跳跳舞，流汗流汗一下！！舞池里很多人一下，男人女人，当然还有泰国身价最高的第三性别人士。。。在这里很容易迷惘，女人可能不是真正的女人，娇媚底下的她其实是他。。。一直这样玩到他们打烊，我们才离开。

到Silk Bar的时候，一些人已经准备离开了。不过，还是有一些人留下来。原本不想再喝了，不过难得在这里，什么酒都特别便宜，Alex还是叫了一瓶Red Label还有汽水。。。继续猜猜会。今晚轮到Happy的真情流露。。。还有我在三种不同的酒精熏陶下，开始语无伦次，作了一些让人费解思疑的举动。我知道自己在做什么，但是无法控制自己。总结：喝酒伤身，不要乱乱喝。

就这样喝到凌晨6点。。。7点就要起身了，因为要提早出发到Chatuchak周末市场。我拖着沉重的身子前往那个拥有多达15，000个档口的市场。这里如有需要，可以领取一个地图，避免失踪。在这里，什么都有，从衣服装饰到陶瓷家具，甚至宠物都可以在这里找到！而且物价便宜到哇哇声！！虽然整个人很gong，但还是争取机会买了一些手信。哈！不得不提的是这个市场不懂在泰国什么位置，超级热！那种热可以让人走久了会昏厥的感觉，很夸张！！
一轮疯狂购物后，我们踏上回家的路途了。直接前往机场，我们一行人乘坐第一趟的飞机回KL。离开泰国的行李和心情一样沉重。这次跟coursemate是最后一次可以疯在一起了，万分不舍。天下无不散的筵席，希望全部人都在泰国有难忘的回忆。

泰国这个神秘的地方，有机会的话，我肯定会再去探索！！

全篇完。
