merdeka ? (ii)

hei guys,

share with you something..

"you don't have to believe in the government to be a good citizen,

you just have to believe in your country"


for a better future and peace, as we are staying here currently,

although almost everyday we all can see many stupid dramas and selfish acts from our government..

well, prove to them and show them what exactly what we are really capable of...!!!

merdeka ?

hi..

tomorrow is our country's 52nd birthday. to all Malaysians...

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY!!!

my roommate kept on talking about it since this morning. playing all the patriotic songs and sang along.. :)

however, one thing that he told me which is really true is that UTP doesnt seem to have organized anything related to national day at all.. not even a simple countdown for it.. if you dont believe it, you can refer to his blog. (eric's blog). During our secondary school time, everybody in our school definitely will be crazy for it and doing all sorts of the preparation for merdeka celebrations. kinda missing that period now.

well, the main thing is that... is UTPians not patriotic at all?

yesterday was my conventional milling lab. where i got to play and learn about the big milling and drilling machines. as it is my first time operating it, it is quite an fun experience also.

early in the morning that day, i woke up and went to the lab without even having my breakfast. the lab started with some simple briefings on how to handle and operate the milling machine from the lab technicians before we started our project.

at that time, kuhan and i were in the same group. the first task was to produce a metal block with the desired dimension. so, we clamped our workpiece which is a metal block onto the working table and switched on the cutting tool. the thing produced kinda loud sounds as it is switched on. without thinking much, we began our cutting job.

face milling...

most of the operations of the machine have to be operated manually. the clamping, hammering, turning, adjustment and lots more.. it quite fun but tiring also. (plus i haven have my breakfast at that time)

after surfacing, it is the time that we cut our blocks into the shape that we want..

end milling...
the process to cut out the small details of the product.

finally, this is the product that i produced...

shining... ^^
i named it THE cube... haha

THE cube with other members...
=.=

the next day, i ended up with my whole body aching... :P

fishing

still remember about the lake that we have talked a few days ago???
yea.. we really went to fish there... today.... :)

after having a great fight with my vector calculus test, kuhan, vyner, jj sundeep and me decided to take a break and the idea of fishing suddenly popped out from our minds. after went to photostat our lab manual, we went to the nearest pet shop to buy our equipments.

never even know what a proper fishing equipments are, we managed to get two simple set of fishing rods with the help from the kind shopkeeper. besides, the shopkeeper also taught us with some technique about fishing, too.

after went through some quick tutorial section, we went to the lake immediately. the weather was so comfortable and nice during that time. a bit cloudy but no rain. we started to set up every things and also started to test on our new fishing rods.

my fishing gears... :)

so, we began with hooking up the worm onto the fishing hook. look easy but actually not. we tried several times but still hard due to the slimy surface of the worm. actually quite pity also to the worm. :( but sacrifices needed for the better good. (according to the teleological theory)

the worm.. so fat..

after several moments and screaming.. we finally get our first worm hooked onto the fish hook. with joys, we threw the bait into the water. and then we wait..... wait....

this is me... fishing... haha.. (paiseh)..

still waiting ..... wait....

then suddenly, i felt something pulling the string of the fishing rod. starting to get excited, i slowly pulled back my fishing string. all of us are praying that it is some big fish so that it will settle our dinner later. :)

fish... fish...

slowly, i pulled more of my string. and then all of the sudden, ~pop~ nothing came out. only empty fishing hook without the worm... the fish bitten the worm but not the hook!!! sad..... so, in the end, we have to tried again.

while waiting, we took our time to relax and enjoy the senery of the lake. it is really nice and beautiful. especially when it reached sunset.

wow..

really cool.. actually it nice to do picnic there also.. ( but maybe next time)

it really took us so many times of trials that time. hooking the bait... throw the bait... wait.... wait.... wait... pull back the bait... and do again... haha.. (have to do it because the worm always went missing after we thrown it into the water) after realizing that we are constantly losing our worms , we came out with one idea..

"aiyo... the fish here smart la... "

"i think they have taken some degree in UTP or some where la.. so smart one.. they actually can take the worm without biting the hook la..."

"next time must find kampung place to fish.. the fish there might be not so smart.."

"=.="

"if really cannot catch fish, then how? "

"maybe later we go the the market and buy some fish la... then hook it onto the hook and pretend we catch it.. after that, we can ask the restaurant people to cook it for us.. can say we catch the fish also"

"can also.. haha.. "

"eh... what if suddenly the restaurant people says... 'wei... so li hai oo.. you can catch ocean fish from the lake oo'... coz we donno which fish is which also ma... "

"then we screwed up lo.. haha"

***

so, we continued on our fishing for about an hour before the sky grew darker.. in the end, we got.....

fish!!!!!

*
*
*

no la.. actually it was caught by a lizard and was left on the ground ... half eaten...

the truth is .... we caught nothing...
all this while all that we done was doing charity to the lake by feeding the fish there.. :P

***
although feel a bit disappointed, it is still very fun!!!

as a revenge.. we took fish as our dinner that night to return the favor for all the things that the fish has done on us... but it is indeed a very enjoyable trip.. and we sure will do it again...

:)

today, during my meeting, speaking about Halloween suddenly make me think about Christmas. donno why also. maybe kinda missing the festival season already. anyway, due to the sudden mood change, why don't we talk something related to it for now although Chirstmas is still hundred of miles away from now.

adventure for the day

it was a warm afternoon when kuhan, jj, vyner and me (aka the four meche guys) were going to tronoh to have our lunch as usual. but for this time we reached there a bit earlier as out classes 'ended' early. upon arriving, one of us voiced out..

"hei, why dont we go somewhere else in tronoh to eat? everyday eating at the same place only, not boring ka???"
"ok lo.. but where le?"
"donno, try la find new place. we got lots of time now."

so, four of us began to drive and try most of the unknown roads there. finally, we arrived at a small kampung namely, "Kampung Nalla". (it is still in tronoh). the place is so quite and look a bit deserted at that time. donno why as it is suppose to be the peak time.


"aiyo, so empty one..."
"yalo.. better drive back la.. nothing inside here... later all of us got rape by someone le.."
"haha.. we send someone to become the kambing korban la while the rest run away..."
"hahaha" (=.=)

"wow.. look at that!! got lake here!"
"come, come, go and see... nice wei..."

without thinking much, we stopped by our car at the road side and walked down.. it is quite surprise that in a small place where people thinks that got nothing actually is having such a nice place.

the lake actually got a path to the center where
we can walk to the middle and it's really nice!
especially to fish there.. ^^

another view..

hehe

from here you actually can see several buffaloes wondering at the other side of the lake..
but cant see it in this picture due to the low resolution.. :(

well, it is indeed a perfect place for fishing. we definitely will come back again to fish there someday. yea~~

new

hi, this is my brand new layout for my blog. look simpler than my previous one but still nice.. dont you think???

the old one..

:)

p/s : 2.00am... just came back from chancellor hall after the long preparation for tomorrows 30 HOUR FAMINE..
extremely tired... so , gonna sleep... bye.

busy + busy

halo..

with a bit feeling of guilty and sad for my blog, i finally able to squeeze out some time to update it. with all those assignments and events, i think my time for myself to enjoy is getting lesser and lesser. even so, life still have to go on eventually, right... >.<

so, what is the highlight for this week??? without thinking any further, everyone in UTP will sure say it's Convofair!!! well, the one year once pesta aka 'pasar malam' in UTP sure had brought a lot of joyment to all UTPians. however, for this year, there are less stalls compared to the previous year and the food is getting more expensive as usual. maybe it is because of the H1n1 or the economy crisis or others things. i not sure also.

anyway, there are still a few thing which had caught my attention. one of them is the fire works during the opening ceremony.

the pictures dont look quite nice as i took it using my handphone..
those firework really reminds me of chinese new year in my hometown..!!
:)
ang pao lai 2x~~


***

oh ya, for this weekend also, i will start my all day-long lab on manufacturing.. which means that my Saturday rest will be officially gone.. even so, i still cant wait do do all the factory works such as welding, milling, machining and many more!!! sounds fun actually..

hehe ^^

but hopefully i will not cause the whole lab and buildings to be burnt down in the end.. XP

=.=........
(no comment)

ok.. thats all for this time update.. c ya...

break?

SO..., UTP finally been closed due to the outbreak of H1N1. a little not so shocking news to be heard as all of us have been expecting it since a few days ago. its just the matter of time i think.

however, what make the biggest surprise is that, UTPians are REALLY very good in running away indeed. serious!!! in the morning, we are still having our classes as usual at most of the academic blocks and running all sort of events at different places. peoples can be seem around all corners as usual. but, after the announcement of the closure, the campus was immediately deserted...

well, as what one of my friends said, "...when to come to the campus, most of us needs around a week, but when to leave the campus, all can do it within an hour!... " :) its so true!

therefore, our campus will be closed until the next thursday ( 6 august 2009) and our academic sections will be resumed on the following monday. i cant imagine how many classes that we will have to replace once we get back UTP later on.

for now, i am staying at eric's house for another short adventure in penang :P
