extend

aku rasa mcm satu dunia dah tahu aku extend studies. soklan bertanyakan mengapa extend mcm dah beribu kali aku jawab tapi aku cuba untuk tak snap. aku jawab dgn tenang dan berhati-hati untuk jelaskan keadaan sbenar walaupun setiap kali mendengar soklan tu secara langsung dan tak langsung seperti memperingatkan aku tentang kegagalan untuk grad sama2 dgn rerakan same batch. tapi takpe.. aku mmg stress tp aku handle dgn baik sekali. well, look at the positive side. aku nak bila aku grad bangga dgn hasil kerja aku. aku nak grad bukan sekadar lepas tapi grad dgn senyuman lebar dan bangga dgn pencapaian bukanlah grad sekadar lepas je.. hopefully dptlah tercapai cita2 aku hujung sem dpan. wish me luck!

ps: tahun 2009 a.k.a. tahun lembu tahun yg tidak brp lucky utk sesiapa lahir pd tahun lembu. harap tahun depan lebih bernasib baik.

Borneo Convention Centre Kuching

Now, here's some photos taken from www.bcck.com.my on the latest update of BCCK project. The building is lookin' good (good enough for kuching) eventhough its not the most beautiful building in the world, its nice enough for a developing city like Kuching. the photos were taken this month and if u notice the marina is also almost complete! and land have been cleared in the last photo.. it might be kuching tower which will be office + hotel (Marriott) OR shopping mall (TESCO+JUSCO+IKEA) OR just shophouses ( if its shophouse it should be of good design and concept) as planned in the Kuching Isthmus Development Plan. But then again, not sure of the development on the cleared site.. it could be anything

my vision of kuching central business district in the future

FUTURAMAKU

Lately ramai yg terfikir pasal future.. ye la da nak grad.. ak pn same kot. ade yg cite2 menggunung like the sky is the limit.. ade pulak yg nak keje JKR je sbb nak senang keje.. huh! entahlah.. aku pk aku masih kurang jelas.. masih tertanya-tanya apa nak jadi ngan aku.. no choice tp jd architectla kan.. hmmpphh~..penat2 blaja xkan nak jd penyanyi? well.. time will tell tp tu lah.. choice is in your hand. buat mase ni ape penting bg aku ialah future life aku tak semestinya jd seorang arkitek yg famous atau berjaya gila babas tp hidup happily and comfortably.. too low target.. NO.. its called moderate. aku x kejar kemewahan.. aku x kejar kefemesan.. tp aku cuma kejar kebahagiaan.. tp kalau peluang jadi kaya dah terhampar depan mata aku pasti x tolak.. just go with the flow..

site visit AI in segamat

I'm so not a site person but when it comes to marks i'll do anything including not sleeping for the night just to wait for the bus to segamat 630 am this morning. yes, i haven't slept. So, the journey begins early in the dawn, no one's seems to be at the bus stop at this time. suddenly a car stop by and drop off two familiar ladies. It was Era and Nurul. So, i went to the bus stop greeting them.. then appears Lebai followed by Mirul. Since it was too early and very little people came at the time, the bus also haven't arrived.. we went to have breakfast at arcade cengal. Then, i saw Ct Hanis, Kak Asmah, May, Kak Long and last but not least Pn. Amalina. She was also there picking some kuehs for breakfast. After having nasi lemak and plain water, we rushed to the bus stop knowing that the bus have arrived. Later on, we were on the way to segamat and i fall asleep most of the time on the bus.. ZzZzZ..




We arrived at UiTM Segamat at about 12 i guess and straight away taken to a construction site where a new lecture hall is being build. If i'm not mistaken it was the resident architect who give us tour around the building. We followed him around like a school of fish listening to everything he said and (pretend) trying to jot down notes. After the tour, we were then taken to another merely finished building where we were supposed to do inspections on the defects. LALALALA~.. mmmmphh.. then, finally everything was done and we were off to have some lunch. We had lunch at some restaurant that wasn't really good.. the menus are quite sucky but seems like its one of the top restaurant there. Well, its a small town after all and you can't expect to much.. we went back to UTM later that evening and i was asleep again all the way back.. ZzZzZz..



P/S: report have to be send on tuesday

tanjung piai and kukup (part 2)

We immediately taken into the information centre on the main jetty (is that the correct term?) and we were given brief on the island. Not far from the jetty, there are 2 watch tower connected by a sky bridge. However the other tower on the other side of the skybridge was under maintanence due to its leaning structure. Thus, we crossed over the sky bridge and took some snapshots. After having some height fright, everyone continued their journey on the wooden deck looking around whether they could find any life forms.. I've spotted this eagle size bird busy cleaning its feather approximately 30 metres from where we stand.


Finally, we got to the end of the deck where we are supposed to get on a boat cruise along sungai ular.. but the boat or the boat deck was not operating (huh!) so, we went back to the jetty to return to the mainland, kukup. On our journey back to the jetty, suddenly my friend shouted, "BABI!! Ape bende ni!" as she throws away a huge bag full of prawn crackers to the floor and scooted as fast as she could.. Everyone was in shock and spontanously ran together like a pack of bison chased by lion.. (including the park guide!).. After a few minutes of running everyone looked back and burst out of laugh as everyone realize that it was just a macaque that wants a bit of our food. Everyone thought it was a wildboar!

after that short entertainment, everyone was exhausted and continue laughing at the jetty.. thinking back how silly was our reaction "chased" by the primate who was actually approaching us in cool macho mode without the intention of scaring us. It was not showing any agression when it approach us from the back. That was something.. So, as the boat arrive to take us back to the mainland, we were joined by a couple of Japanese tourist acompanied by a tour guide. Around the island there are several fish farms where they are said to be main exporter to Singapore. The boat stopped at one of the farm and we were taken to see how they feed the fishes. After that, we finally got on the mainland and straight away went to find a place to have lunch.



After having a not-so-appeasing lunch, we picked our bags and went straight to tanjung piai by taxi. Arrived at about 3-4 pm, the checked into our resort room and prepared ourself before we go to Tanjung Piai park. The park was under renovation and the route that usually used by visitors was not operating. So, we took the palm plantation route which is kinda scary as if in a horror movie setting. Though we weren't sure whether the road is gonna take us to the right destination, we kept on walking on the rough rubbles and keep walking, and walking, and walking. Then, finally we arrived at the national park after half an hour of painful steps. We head to the counter to buy drinks as we were exhausted and "dried up". The same as kukup, tanjung piai was surrounded by thick layers of mangrove forest and the faunas are similar. but we didn't find any except for the obnoxious macaques and they are not adorable at all, PERIOD!


After that long walk and talking pictures everywhere we go, we decided to head back to our hotel and get ready for the crit session later that evening. Everyone wasn't prepared actually for the crit.. just that to get comments from the lecturers. Back at the hotel, everyone gathered at a wakaf in front of the block waiting for lecturers but they didn't showed up. so, some of us went upstairs to pray or watch tv. At about 6-7 pm the lecturers arrived .. the crit session starts. but i didn't joined, i just listen to other people's crit. Dinner that nught was on Dr Hamdan and we had quite a chat with him and Dr Zin on the dinner table. As all the food was all finish, the lecturers were ready to get back to JB and we head back to our rooms to get some rest after that tiring day.


The next day after everyone was having a good night sleep, we were ready to hop on the bus straight to UTM.. everyone slept again on the bus

popcornizered

Celebrating our batch's very own pre graduation day, the juniors specifically 2nd year batch eureka prepared us with an amazing popcornizer event. We all enjoyed the nite eventhough there are some flaws here and there overall, the event was great and we really appreciate it! Thanks to Eureka.. the best part of the event is photo taking session of course! spent almost an hour to do so.. LOL! we were all prepped up to pose and all the girls are like dressed-to-kill. It was fun and all but the essence of the whole event was as a token of appreciation for our batch, chronicles.

some videos on the event:-

the girl in red dress, sweeney todd, the spirit and james bond

group shot 1,2.. there's 4 jokers

Well, the event was seriously amazing because almost all the performance was superb eventhough almost all are bands. FUN!FUN!FUN!.. ow.. i forgot, i dressed up as "The Spirit". in the end, my face was burned due to the fact that my skin is sensitive to the flammable chemical in the art gum that i used. My friend dressed up as "The Spirit" too and used the same gum but he didn't get burns. Well, all worth the effort (and burns) and the important thing is that i have a lot of fun that night and thanks again to Eureka.

my skin got burnt

p/s: the food wasn't really nice actually but its ok.

Impian ke Luar Negara

Dah lama dah berangan nak berhijrah ke luar negara.. (berangan je keje). Bukan ape.. just nak try hidup kat negara org dgn cara hidup yg berbeza. Terus terang aku katakan yang environment kat Malaysia especially kat Kuala Lumpur langsung x menarik minat aku.. dari politician yang semakin terpesong sehinggala suasana kota yang hiruk pikuk tak tau bila nak reda. Ade bbrp negara yg aku shortlistkan utk try nasib:-

- canada (Montreal)
- australia (sydney)


- america (specifically San Francisco@Chicago)


- and last but not least singapore.


Tapi hati aku berkeras nak p US. aku pun tak tau nape.. kalo nak keje kat msia pn ak nak keje either kat kuching ataupun JB. Hopefully dapatlah p nanti.. semoga aku dapat pergi (fingers crossed)

laksa sarawak

mee kolok

Most importantly is my family. every second spend with them is like a therapy for me.. They're the only people I rely on and i trust. OMG!OMG! I wanna go home.. ~.. too old for a 23 year old guy like me, eyy?.. nah, I'm among the brave and humble person to admit that unlike those ego centred people.. And I really want to go places every corner of the city.. from santubong to batu 7 and from bau to petra jaya.. T___T
