Hari Malaysia (16 September)

Bermula pada tahun 2010, koleksi cuti umum bertambah lagi untuk negara dan rakyat Malaysia yang terdiri daripada berbilang kaum. Kali ini, 16 September pula yang dipilih oleh Perdana Menteri untuk dijadikan hari umum sempena penubuhan Persekutuan Malaysia dengan penyertaan Sabah dan Sarawak (16 September 1963).

Oleh itu, rakyat Malaysia akan menyambut 2 kali Hari Kebangsaan (31 Ogos - Hari Merdeka dan 16 Sept - Hari Malaysia). Hari Merdeka mengingatkan rakyat tentang perjuangan untuk kita mencapai kemerdekaan daripada penjajahan asing manakala Hari Malaysia adalah bersifatkan konsep 1Malaysia (diperkenalkan oleh Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak), di mana untuk mengeratkan perpaduan dan persefahaman antara kaum.

Persoalannya:
1. Adakah semua rakyat Malaysia betul-betul mengingati tentang sejarah Malaysia?

2. Adakah semua lapisan masyarakat di Malaysia menyambut Hari Merdeka yang disambut di negara ini?

3. Ataupun hari-hari bersejarah negara sebegini seolah-olah dijadikan sebagai cuti umum untuk berehat di rumah, menemani keluarga , saudara-mara dan sahabat-handai?

Badminton

Badminton, a game which I start to play in the age of 15. The person who influence and teach me on how to play on that time was my dad. He likes to play badminton so much. At first, when he taught me, I feel that I'm not suitable to play badminton (usually I played football with friends during secondary time). However, after being train for few times, I started to get interested in playing badminton.

My interest towards playing badminton had increased. On 2006 (the first year when I entered MMU), I had became a member of Badminton Club. On that time, I had thought of become the sub-committee for the Badminton Club but ends up I did not turn up for the interview. On 2007, I had decided to join the committee for the Badminton Club and I had been assigned as Sub-committee under Sports Affair Division. On 2008, I went for the interview for the Hi-com selection and again I succeed to get the Assistant Director of Sport Affair Division. Besides club post, I also had hold the 2 post in MMU MASTER OPEN TOURNAMENT ( 2008 - Asst. Director of Safety & Security Division ; 2009 - Director of Special Tasks Division).

Lately, I had "put aside" my badminton activity. Starting June 2009, I had my internship for 4 months. During that 4 months, I had no chance to play badminton at all. So, I could say my skills was drop due to lack of practice. Yesterday, my daddy had invited me to join his team for badminton. I had agreed to join him and members. At first, I was a bit worried with my performance because I did not practice for a long time. But, after warm up for some time, I realized I still able to play but I feel that my movement was "slow down". After the match, I still satisfied with my overall performance and did not blame myself because I knew that it needs time for me to get back the "ummphhh" like previous I played.

After this, I will be busy with assignments, quizzes, tests, FYP etc etc... But, I still hope that I can steal few hours to play badminton with my university friends...

Happy Deepavali

I would like to wish a "Happy Deepavali" to all Indians in Malaysia, especially my friends. Enjoy the D'wali!

Genting Trip

I had joined my internship's company trip to Genting Highlands on last Friday (2 days 1 night). Besides the trip, there was also a training session conducted there. So, after having our dinner, all of us depart from Melaka at 6.30pm and reached Genting around 9.30pm. After the check-in matters had done, all of us went for a short rest before met with the clients 40 minutes later.

After that, all of us went for a supper before headed to the Highland's Casino. For your information, this is my first time enter into casino. So, the situation is like "children enter for the first day of the school". I had observed the environment, and the gamblers too.. I found out there are many types of gamblers at there, like cool type, aggressive type etc. After spent about 2 hours there, we decided to back room for a rest.

On the next morning (7:30am), all of us had a breakfast buffet with the trainer, Mr. Liew. This is also the first time I met with Mr. Liew and I noticed that he is good in creating jokes. Not bad~ We had spent about 1 hour for the breakfast and went to the training venue to make some preparation right after the breakfast. Once the training session starts, we stay for 45 minutes to see the overall progress of the training before we headed to theme park.

At the theme park, all of us had enjoyed ourselves till the max. But, due to the rain, we can't really play all the outdoor games such as roller coaster, go-kart, and Pirates of Carribean Ship (the game that we supposed to put on revenge to someone). I still remembered the time 4 of us (HS, CL, LS and Me) played for the flying dragon and someone was extremely scared that *he/she will felt down from the dragon... Haha! "FUNNY!"... Hmm.. Rain Rain Rain... So, we have to switch into indoor games and among that, I still think that the "Adult Bumper Car" still the best! Haha!

We leaved Genting Highlands at 4.30pm and headed back to Melaka.

There are few photos taken during the trip (Still waiting for Theme Park Photos - Please view my facebook later on if want to see more):

Life without exam....

This semester I'm having internship for four months (Trimester 1)... So, in conclusion, No Quizzes , No Assignments, No Tests, No Final Exam! Life's free from those "must components" in Uni life... I had decided took a bus to Melaka on Monday night for the purpose of submit my industrial training report on my own and at the same time joining my colleagues for the company trip at Genting on Friday.

On Tuesday afternoon, I went to find my supervisor to submit my report but unfortunately she was not around. So, I just put the report on her table and leave. If she's around, maybe plan can have a short chat with her. At night, a gang of 4 ( Stanly, Johnson, Chun Wei and Me) have a "yam char session" at Oldtown Kopitiam. I could say I didn't meet up with Chun Wei and Johnson quite a period of time since our last meet. So, the topic of the night was mixed. It started from experience sharing during internship, then goes for "girls topic" and more... It was fun and our table is the most noisy among all... *shame*... The session ends at 12.45am...

On Wednesday afternoon, I being invited by Huey Lian for a lunch and after that accompany her to submit the training final report. Her supervisor's office is located on 1st floor and when I passed by, I saw my "Abang Fendy" was there... I'm happy to see him because I didn't meet him quite a long time.. At that time, he was on phone and later on entertained his student. While talking on phone, he says to me "Nanti Datang Ya!"...

Since he still on the phone, so I plan to look for my internship supervisor and have a chat with her. I had shared all my internship experiences to her and she had told me one thing that I feel relief.. "The time your boss telephoned me, he had praised you for your good work during your internship!"... Thanks GOD! Besides internship topic, we also had chat about the students who are taking Financial Management II ( Lecturer : My FYP Supervisor ; Tutor: My Internship Supervisor) in this trimester... According to her, the students become worse and really not shows interest to learn. Even given a group quiz that selected from the tutorial question, they can know nothing and get 0... Oh No! Our chat holds for 30 minutes...

After that, we headed to "Abang Fendy" office room and have a chat with him... Hmm... for your information, the topic while chatting with "Abang Fendy" can consider "rojak" type... Whatever topic will be okay for us.. It includes current life story, internship story, FYP story, politic story, hometown story, etc etc... During the chat, one of the student who join our chat later on said that me and my FYP supervisor shared same similarity- "Mulut Laser"... Haha.. This makes me "tersenyum dalam diam"... Our conversation ends after 2 and a half hours... After that, we went to MBO and purchased for the 8:45pm showtimes- Sorrority Row... It's kinda scary movie, but still NICE! Hehe....

Here's the life without exam... Full of relaxation and enjoys while others are busying for the discussion and revision! But after this semester, it will be a hectic semester for me... Main focus : Final Year Project 1... Gambateh~

Supervisor's Visitation

I'm currently in the Week 10 of my industrial training. Week 10 will be an important week for all the internship students, because most of their supervisor will meet them up to discuss the student's progress during the internship period with their external supervisor.

MMU had assigned Ms. Ong Shuk Wern for the area of Plaza Pandan Malim. There are few students under Ms Ong, including me. On 3rd August 2009, Ms. Ong had came over all her students' workplace to discuss with her students and external supervisor regarding their performance and progress.

Ms. Ong had visited all my friends workplace before went to my workplace. My workplace was the last. Before went to my office, all of the students under Ms. Ong + Ms. Ong met up at Pizza Hut and we had our lunch at there. It was fun. It was a golden opportunity for all of us to gather and having lunch together since in a normal day, all of us have different time of lunch hour. All of us were busying sharing story related to our internship.

We finished our lunch at 1.15pm. It's the time to make a move. Ms. Ong went to our office to meet with my external supervisor, Mr. Chong, but unfortunately, he went out for his lunch. So, Ms. Ong had to wait for him to come back (Paiseh la, Ms. Ong).. Once Mr. Chong is back, 2 of them start to discuss about the "2 wei loon"... Gan (WL) and I were very worried about Mr. Chong evaluation and comment towards both of us to Ms. Ong. We really hope that he give positive feedback to Ms. Ong. They had spent about 20 minutes to discuss about us.

2-Loon interns in the same company (ITS)

After that, Ms. Ong leave the office with a big smile. I can guess the feedback that given by Mr. Chong to Ms. Ong. It looks positive. (Hopefully!) In the evening, I received a sms from Ms. Ong, saying that " Just to tell you, Mr. Chong had gave me a very positive comment to both of you. Great Job! Keep it up!"...
