Finally,im back to blogging after almost half year! I was really busy with my research project & thesis writing after back from Industrial Training for 3 months (ends in Apr). The 3 months was used for training & all of us need to rush for our research projects b4 writing thesis. Then,here comes the final exams, the last last exams that we're going to sit to complete our whole degree programme.
Unfortunately, we're so pack between the finals & the thesis writing. The draft of the thesis was written & submitted to our supervisor and another 2 lecturers b4 hard bind it. Corrections were done based on all the 3 lecturers' marking & i was kind of confused as different lecturers have different comments on our thesis, quite headache also...Frankly speaking, i dont have much time to study & the whole study week was just spent for thesis writing. Furthermore, i had been applying jobs since July so that i can start work immediately after i finish my final exams. So, job interviews came in & i need to travel from here & there to attend the interviews & doing my thesis at the same time. I sometimes was frustrated also cos the time really is not enough to use! Maybe due to my time management is not that good,that's im facing this problem.
However, everything was done now. I got a help from 1 of my classmates, she's actually my housemate also to print all the contents of my thesis & hard bind it in KL, then submit to the lecturers. Since the color printing in KL is much more cheaper than here and I also need to do 4 copies of my thesis which has lots of color pages.
I'm so relieve now cos final exams had over, thesis were done & i manage to got a job right b4 i finish my exams. Well, i would say that it's a good thing, but then every1, especially my friends seem not to agree with that. According to them, i should have enjoy the max b4 i enter the working life,or else i would have regret in future!
I think it's ok for me already as i had entered the working life for a week since 1st of Sept, which i only spend 3 days of holidays b4 going to work....
I would like to take this opportunity to thanks to all my beloved friends, classmates & those who had been assisting & guiding me along this period of my degree programme. Without them, i'm sure i would have not grad. Btw, just a reminder that my convo will falls on 10th Oct 2009. Hope u people can attend my convo ya~
All the BEST to all of my friends in their future undertakings!

Nine words women use
(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome' . that will bring on a 'whatever').
(8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying F-- YOU!
(9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

1st month of internship
Times flow very fast. I did my industrial training in Plexus for a month already! There are 3 categories of QA department, Product Quality, Supplier Quality Engineering(SQE) and Incoming Quality Assurance(IQA). I was placed under the department of QA-product quality. My internship supervisor is a married lady while my co-supervisor is a cute lady who's going to married in this coming Sat. I had a co-supervisor because my supervisor was too busy to handle me...haha! When i join their department, I was told that she had 4 projects under her, that's y she was so busy cos she was the Head Section of Product Quality. So,until now I never work for/with her before. I'm currently work for/with my co-supervisor. It's quite nice to do my training there as I learn lots of things such as verifying the body marking checking of printed circuit board assembly(PCBA), how to take the pictures of those PCBA and also using computer software to do documentations. I still remember that I joined Plexus on 2nd of Feb, that time it was still the 8th day of CNY and my supervisor treated me n other colleagues for lunch to welcome me. I was quite happy and surprised cos I never heard that during our industrial training, the supervisor will treat their trainees for a meal. If the supervisor didnt bully u or ignore u, it was considered that lucky already. When I told this to my friends n ex-seniors, they were happy for me too cos this shows that my supervisor is a good person. Ya, i need to admit that she's a good supervisor though i din work with her before, but I can really see from her performance and the experiences that she shared with me cos I always have lunch with her...haha! She's also a serious person who really focus on her works and this is different with other supervisor of my friends. As I meantioned before in my previous blog, 2 of my classmates also join in Plexus with me but they are in SQE department. Both of their supervisors are men who jokes a lot which is totally different from my supervisor.haha! The operators there are quite helpful and skillful as well. Whenever i dunno how to do this or do that, I'll ask and they will teach me without complaining. That's the part where I like the operators. However, the work loads are quite heavy as well cos i'm from QA department which means we are the 1 that dealed with ustomers. Once we received the customer complaint, we need to ensure that the products that shipped out should be zero errors. That's y it involves many documentations as well.... 2 months for me to go before I went back to university. The duration of my internship is very short, i wish that it could be extented somemore. However, my wish wont bcome true as it was stated that it's only 3 months in my university handbook....I still prefer to do training more to going back to university to continue my studies!!! These are some of the pics that I took for 1 of the models of PCBA: It was taken with both camera and microscope which is quite challenging as we need to do the correct adjustment.

Story that Makes Me Cry
This is a Simple Story of True Love and True Care:
I was born in a secluded village on a mountain. Day by day, my parents plowed the yellow dry soil with their backs towards the sky.
I have a brother who is 3 years younger than me.
I wanted to buy a handkerchief, which all girls around me seemed to have. So, one day I stole 50 cents from my father's drawer.
Father had discovered about the stolen money right away.
He made me and my younger brother kneel against the wall as he held a bamboo stick in his hand. "Who stole the money?" he asked. I was stunned, too afraid to talk. Neither of us admitted to the fault, so he said, "Fine, if nobody wants to admit, you two should be beaten!"
He lifted up the bamboo stick. Suddenly, my younger brother gripped father's hand and said," Dad, I was the one who did it!" The long stick smacked my brother's back repeatedly. Father was so angry that he kept on whipping my brother until he lost his breath. After that, he sat down on our stone bed and scolded my brother, "You have learned to steal from your own house now.
What other embarrassing things will you be possibly doing in the future? You should be beaten to death, you shameless thief!"
That night, my mother and I hugged my brother. His body was full of wounds from the beating but he never shed a single tear. In the middle of the night, all of sudden, I cried out loudly. My brother covered my mouth with his little hand and said, " Sis, now don't cry anymore. Everything has happened."
I still hate myself for not having enough courage to admit what I did.
Years gone by, but the incident still seemed like it just happened yesterday. I will never forget my brother's expression when he protected me.
That year, my brother was 8 years old and I was 11 years old. When my brother was in his last year of secondary school, he was accepted in an upper secondary school in the central. At the same time, I was accepted into a university in the province. That night, father squatted in the yard, smoking, packet by packet.
I could hear him ask my mother, "Both of our children, they have good results? very good results?" Mother wiped off her tears and sighed," What is the use? How can we possibly finance both of them?" At that time, my brother walked out, he stood in front of father and said,"Dad, I don't want to continue my study anymore, I have read enough books."
Father swung his hand and slapped my brother on his face. "Why do you have a spirit so damn weak? Even if it means I have to beg for money on the streets, I will send you two to school until you have both finished your study!"
And then, he started to knock on every house in the village to borrow >money. I stuck out my hand as gently as I can to my brother's swollen face, and told him, "A boy has to continue his study; If not, he will not be able to overcome this poverty we are experiencing."
I, on the other hand, had decided not to further my study at the university. Nobody knew that on the next day, before dawn, my brother left the house with a few pieces of worn-out clothes and a few dry beans. He sneaked to my side of the bed and left a note on my pillow; "Sis, getting into a university is not easy. I will go find a job and I will send money to you."
I held the note while sitting on my bed, and cried until I lost my voice.
That year, my brother was 17 years old; I was 20 years old. With the money father borrowed from the whole village, and the money my brother earned from carrying cement on his back at a construction site,finally, I managed to get to the third year of my study in the university..
One day, while I was studying in my room, my roommate came in and told me,"There's a villager waiting for you outside!" Why would there be a villager looking for me? I walked out, and I saw my brother from afar. His whole body was covered with dirt, dust, cement and sand. I asked him, "Why did you not tell my roommate that you are my
brother?"
He replied with a smile," Look at my appearance. What will they think if they would know that I am your brother? Won't they laugh at you?" I felt so touched, and tears filled my eyes. I swept away dirt and dust from my brother's body. And told him with a lump in my throat, " I don't care what people would say! You are my brother no matter what your appearance is?"
From his pocket, he took out a butterfly hair clip. He put it on my hair and said, "I saw all the girls in town are wearing it. So, I think you should also have one." I could not hold back myself anymore. I pulled my brother into my arms and cried.
That year, my brother was 20 years old; I was 23 years old. I noticed that the broken window was repaired the first time I brought my boyfriend home.
The house was scrubbed cleaned. After my boyfriend left, I danced like a little girl in front of my mother, "Mom, you didn't have to spend so much time cleaning the house!" But she told me with a smile,"
It was your brother who went home early to clean the house. Didn't you see the wound on his hand? He hurt his hand while he was replacing the window."
I went into my brother's bedroom. Looking at his thin face, I felt like there are hundreds of needle pricked in my heart.
I applied some ointment on his wound and put a bandage on it, "Does it hurt? " I asked him. "No, it doesn't hurt. You know, when at the construction site, stones keep falling on my feet . Even that could not >stop me from working." In the middle of the sentence, he stopped. I turned my back on him and tears rolled down my face.
That year, my brother was 23 years old; I was 26 years old. After I got married, I lived in the city. Many times my husband invited my parents to come and live with us, but they didn't want. They said, once they left the village,they wouldn't know what to do. My brother agreed with them. He said, "Sis, you just take care of your parents-in-law. I will take care of mom and dad here."
My husband became the director of his factory. We asked my brother to accept the offer of being the manager in the maintenance department. But my brother rejected the offer. He insisted on working as a repairman instead for a start.
One day, my brother was on the top of a ladder repairing a cable, when he got electrocuted, and was sent to the hospital. My husband and I visited him at the hospital. Looking at the white gypsum on his leg, I grumbled,
"Why did you reject the offer of being a manager? Managers won't do something dangerous like that. Now look at you, You ar suffering a serious injury. Why didn't you just listen to us?"
With a serious expression on his face, he defended his decision, "Think of brother-in-law. He just became the director, and I being uneducated, and would become a manager, what kind of rumors would fly around?" My husband's eyes filled up with tears, and then I said, "But you lack in education only because of me!" "Why do you talk about the past?" he said and then he held my hand.
That year, he was 26 years old and I was 29 years old. My brother was 30 years old when he married a farm girl from the village. During the wedding reception, the master of ceremonies asked him, "Who is the one person you respect and love the most?"
Without even taking a time to think, he answered," My sister." He continued by telling a story I could not even remember.
"When I was in primary school, the school was in a different village.
Everyday, my sister and I would walk for 2 hours to school and back home.
One day, I lost the other pair of my gloves. My sister gave me one of hers.
She wore only one glove and she had to walk far. When we got home, her hands were trembling because of the cold weather that she could not even hold her chopsticks.
From that day on, I swore that as long as I live, I would take care of my sister and will always be good to her." Applause filled up the room. All guests turned their attention to me. I found it hard to speak, "In my whole life, the one I would like to thank most is my brother," And in this happy occasion,in front of the crowd, tears were rolling down my face again.
*Love and care for the one you love every single days of your life.* You may think what you did is just a small deed, but to that someone, it may mean a lot.

The astonished Chinese man replied "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor , it was the Japanese".
"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.
In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship."

- You cannot live without internet (3 hours on a train and you’re already complaining).
- You tend to ask people “Have you read my latest blog?” instead of “What’s up with you lately?”
- You’re starting to earn more by blogging then your day job.
- Many things you do are governed by your blog (like trying the new spicy Indian cuisine just so you could post it on your blog).
- You think you’re popular cos your number of guests at your blog just reached 5 digits.
- You get invited for events for media coverage…and the invite’s addressed to “Dear Blogger”.
- You actually get recognized when you go out, but not because of your daredevil stunts back in high school.
- Your dog has its own Dogster and your idea of bonding with it is by updating it constantly.
- You carry a 555 notebook with the title “Blog Topics” everywhere you go.
- Your girlfriend is breaking up with you because you’re more obsessed with Kenny Sia then what she has to say.
Why it’s so addictive?
- You can look like Jabba the Hutt and yet still people find no fault in you except for your writing.
- Your life always seemed so much more HAPPENNING in blogs then in real life.
- This is the only way you can get people to listen to you!
- Apparently, many make money when people read your blogs!
- It’s way easier than mailing or phoning…and it’s actually interacting with the masses.
- It’s your online diary, just in case your forget things that happened to you.
- You get psyched when people leave comments on your blog, shows that people are reading your life!
- You can express your most inner thoughts without listening to criticism from people and you can go anonymous.
This means you can trash the new girl in school online without her knowing that you’re the culprit! Brilliant!
Now, slowly step away from the computer and just take your time to read this and if you fit these symptoms, there’s a chance you may be a blogoholic! Not that it’s a bad thing of course…

Chinese New Year Check List
It’s time of the year where you see RED everywhere and the word Ang Pau brings dollar signs to your eyes! And of course, it’s always time for FOOD FOOD FOOD! Kammpung Chicken, Nian Gao, Mee Sua, every food you can think of! Plus d juicy Mandarin Oranges! The excitement is overpowering……
It’s the exciting month where we can visit our relatives and friends and shamelessly siphon cash from the elderly (in the form of red packets). Here is the ultimate CHECKLIST of stuff that you gotta have before you embark on “balik kampung”. Make sure you have everything for CNY on this checklist!
Phone Check
1. Top-up your prepaid card! What’s a celebration without wishing all your friends Happy Chinese New Year? Plus, you’re bound to get bored when the old folks are chit-chatting, so top-up to sms your friends during these times…
2. Remember to bring your phone chargers as well as your camera/ MP3/ laptop chargers.
Vehicle Check
1. Check the brakes on your vehicle as well as other stuff and make sure the experts take a look at it before you embark on your loooong journey home.
2. Check the route that you’re taking to avoid any other ‘technical problems” like getting lost or ending up on the wrong highway…save time and fuel. Also, find the best route to suit your journey to make your journey shorter and quicker.
3. Check for the fuel level, as the road can go for miles and petrol stations are scarce.
4. Check the toll rates and prepare enough cash/top-up your “Touch n Go” to cover the toll.
Body Check
1. Make sure you’ve had enough rest to undergo the long and taxing journey. Stock up on caffeine during your long trip home and plan ahead to make sure your body gets enough rest before heading back home again…
2. We know it’s the season to be merry but drinking overload causes you’re happy isn’t a good excuse! Going overboard on alcohol is never a good thing, no matter how merry you are. Remember, moderation is the key!
Social Check
1. People are bound to visit you or vice versa, so it’s best to look spanking new in your new garbs. Make sure you bring along your new clothing and make sure they’re comfy! You don’t wanna spend the entire evening adjusting your top during a family dinner, do you? Also, it’ll be wiser to just choose clothes that will accommodate that swelling tummy after a nice, fulfilling meal…
2. We’re begging you here to please clean up your house. Show your guests a dusty, unkempt habitat you call home and you can never show your face in polite society ever again!
3. Stock up with food, especially with mandarin oranges, cookies and drinks to entertain your guests with! Be a god host and treat your guests to yummy CNY delicacies and they’re bound to be back!

Touching Story
I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
The boy couldn ' t have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, ' I ' m sorry, but you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll. '
Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ' ' Granny, are you sure I don ' t have enough money? ' '
The old lady replied: ' ' You know that you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear. ' '
Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.
Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
'It ' s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.
She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. '
But he replied to me sadly. ' No, Santa Claus can ' t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there. '
His eyes were so sad while saying this. ' My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister. ' '
My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said: ' I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. '
Then he showed me a very nice photo of himself. He was laughing. He then told me ' I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won ' t forget me. '
'I love my mommy and I wish she didn' t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister. '
Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ' Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll! ' '
'OK ' he said, ' I hope I do have enough. ' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: ' Thank you God for giving me enough money! '
Then he looked at me and added, ' I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! ' '
'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn ' t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. ' '
'My mommy loves white roses. '
A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket.
Please read it,it's really touching!
I finished my shopping in a totally different state of mind from when I started.
I couldn ' t get the little boy out of my mind.
Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma.
Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.
I couldn ' t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.
She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.
I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
The boy couldn ' t have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, ' I ' m sorry, but you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll. '
