During Infosys Foundation Program - post project

post project. The final curtain was draw. A team consist of 9 persons was formed to complete this task.
Documentation ...... 5 days to complete........
speechless. what else can i say. every details need to be mentioned in the paper work. you need to refer here and there for the latest and correct information.

in the end, we are so tired but become more detail and tedious in our work.

lost of word by the end of documentation day

so now work out our coding part.
may all go well for the coming 5 days.

Then the end of Infosys Foundation Program 2010........................................

During Infosys Foundation Program - Group work

Can you work in a team?
can you listen to other?
can you corporate with other?
can you give solution to a problem in a team?

that is what group work really mean. There are a few projects that required team work between group members. I am lucky to team up with great people. now think back, i don't really have difficult team mate before. everyone do their parts and find solutions together. Really enjoy working in group. ^0^

list of projects during Infosys program:

• PF
• HJSX
• ORACLE
• JAVA
• ADV JAVA
• J2EE

During the training program, i have great time working with great people.
In my team, there are 2 game masters, 1 penghuluwati and 1 .......pikachu.............=.="". Ya so basically, our team is hmm very interesting.

The 2 gamers are very expert at game. All sort of games can be seen in their pc. o2jam, mario, pokemon, and others unknow game. during free time, they will either watch anime, play game and taking nap.

One thing i learn from them are determination. They never give up easily. For instance, in a game there are many levels. if one of the level, they can not pass. they will ask around, search internet, search video to learn up. next even if the level been play for more than 40 times, they will keep trying to achieve their goal.

During project time, they never give up. They give pushing, searching, think for solution. really solute to them. I hope i can be as detail as them.

Penghuluwati is a very gentle lady, She was so good at network. she was very hardworking too. Even though how hard the assignment was, she will try her best to solve it. I like her organizing skills.

She often organise trip for us to play. for instance Matang trip, kuching food fest. she was a great communicator.

while for the pikachu case, love to sleep, have problem during night time, like to kacau people. always bully one of the gamers. so for pikachu case, hmmm really need to find out what is her strength? work harder, focus, think more mature........... hmm pikachu really need to work harder............

now really look forward for J2EE project. wonder what kind of challenge are awaited for us....................

UNIMAS old campus on fire

She mentioned that our old campus was on fire. shocking news. thus we drove to old campus. nearing UNIMAS bus station, weird no lamp. no electricity. burnt... smelled. white smoke was emerged for far end. I was shocked. It was a huge cloud of smoke. and the position was... kolej seroja.

wake up from bad dream

Bad dream does not really mean a dream from sleep.
after watching the movie "Inception", I feel like writing this down. a bad dream that i must wake up. a bad dream i try to forget. a bad dream i managed to faced but still hunted on and off.

Do i really have to face the truth? How i hurt my right angkle? a truth i never want to remember, never want to face. now even, i am not sure whether my leg hurt due to a fall from dance or a fall from stair case. NO, I don't want to know.

after 4 to 5 time of chinese urut on my right leg, i knew i need to face my worst fear. I need an x ray for my right ankle. Hurting my leg was quite usual during dance. but this pain was unbearable.

10/5/09, ask a friend to send me to hospital. never never will ask a friend's boyfriend help again. so weird, they keep chatting and you can see love shape thing flying around them. but he is the only one available to send me to hospital that time. thank you ah kong.

after the wait, the scan, explanation from the doctor, I break down. I cry over the phone. I not sure i was shocked by the fact that my right ankle ligament torn or the xray fare. I can't help hold back my tears. even before the 3p class start, i wash my face. I still break down in front of my friends. I can't help it. helpless, depression.

acting normal is my best acting. I can go through this.

16/5/10 operation day. nervous nervous abit curious about operation room too keep looking around

18/5/10 headache fainted. feel my head cracked like hell

19/5/10 headache fainted again admitted to hospital due to PDPH post dural punctual headache. I cried again. thank for teresa for keep helping me

rested for a week at her house. this event shocked my mum, she immediately flew to kuching to visit me.

started my physiology session, pain and unusual. however, i get use to it and face and practice on it. lucky i heal faster.

During physiotherapy, I can not face dance. I can not dance, i can not exercise. I can not walk fast. I feel like a prisoner to my body. I hate dance. I can't not even face my favourite dance show.

wake up, i wake up time really heal my pain. no matter how i hate dance at the moment, I still miss dancing. when i feel better, I drove to dance studio. I started to dance out. i still like the wind circled around me when i dance around. I still like the feeling of on pointe.

wake up and face it. I started to take photograph. I started to know more dance friends. My world become wider although i can not dance as before. look at the bright side, I still gain alot of things although i can do certain things.

like a story i heard before, no pain no gain

this dream will never be seen anyone until i am ready

yes i am ok now i am standing up facing the blue sky. i travel more than before. i learn to appreatiate the fact that i still can walk can run but not jump. i am dancing now in a whole new dance world. my dance world do not close up but wider now........

The story of a rice cooker

Rice pot is a necessity.
However, things changed when I study in UNIMAS
Rice Pot = All purpose pot.

I can use rice pot to cook soup, rice, fried vegetables, fried eggs, cook spaghetti and lots more.
This rice been follow a long time. If not mistaken, it was with me since i was born. During my first year in uni, mum let me bring the pot to school. wow, it work till today. salute to national rice cooker.

This rice cooker not only contain memory from my family. it also have lots of interesting story behind it. Although some of the story is funny and embarrassing but sharing mean no harm. little laugh may light up your day too.

1) Friendly moments.
I love to cook green bean soup, red bean soup and spaghetti for my friends. Especially spaghetti, although it is just ordinary spaghetti, with mushroom source and slice of hard boil egg, we can enjoy the moment and chatting non stop. Chinese quote say that 3 woman = 1 market /pasar. This quote is true and we can create a pasar instantly.

2) funny moment
During Bako Trip, I was in charge of food and beverage. for breakfast i decided to cook vico drink for everyone to drinks. tang tang tang......no hot water so I use rice cooker to boil water. once the water boil, I took out the vico drink packet. aiaya vico become hard rock.(another friend left for us) it is impossible to crush it into powder form. thus the best way is ... throw the whole packet of vico into rice cooker. stir and stir and stir. slowly the hard rock vico boil into vico drink. phew done....


when i was stirring the drink, some of my friends was curious and approach me. From sleepy face into shocked face.

Friend TSW: hi what are you cooking?

me: vico lah (continue stirring the drink)

Friend P: face turn a bit weird

Firend TCK: where got people cook vico like that one?

me: eeehhh.... can not meh. easy mah later every one can scope and drink it.

Friend PCY: OMG!!! what is this?????????? (the tone is weird too)

me: (weird face) cooking vico lah (really don't understand the situation)

Friend P: this is the first time i see some one cook drink like that

next moment, every one in the kitchen roar into laugh. I went blur. then friend PCP explained to me that vico drink is use teaspoon and stir in a cup. No one in the worlds will cook it with rice cooker. Thus, it become one of the most memorable event in Bako trip.

The worst is when friend YSF come into the kitchen and saw a pot of vico soup

Friend Y stared at me: how much water do you boil?

Again, everyone in the kitchen roar into laugh. My ear turn red. really no face liao ~0~



3) rice pot= "warm box"
life without a refrigerator is unbearable sometime. I can not buy meat to cook. thus, i prefer to be vegetarian when cook myself or with my friend. vegetables that we bought need to be cook earlier. Yes we are survivor.

This is how i warm my burger. I am not an owl. thus unlike my friend, supper = my breakfast. so how to prevent supper from spoilt. Thank to my kawaii rice pot, it keep y food warm till the second day. thus i can still enjoy my meal ^0^

thank mum for letting me having this great rice pot. this rice pot really create lots of memory ^0^

Thank alot to Malaysia government, MDEC, UNIMSA, UTEM, INFOSYS and who ever that sponsored and taught us. However, the consequence is body out of shape, face will grow fatter and become fish ball.

During Infosys Foundation Program - part 2

when past participants said it will be intensive, please believe and be prepared. it is truly intensive and challenging

project completion duration

5 minutes before project submission


after project evaluation


relax a bit ^0^

During Infosys Foundation Program

After 3 years of study computer science, I realised that I very easy get tired in front of pc and thinking solutions for problems.

thus, during break time, a tittle rest will not do harm. so there are ways to take a break (take a kikat)
1) rest on the table.
From my observation, we like to have a small nap in front of the pc. a few moment of rest will refresh our mind

2) hide behind the curtain
=.=||||| speechless may be behind the curtain we can find a pot of gold

3) chatting
anythings and everything can be chat under sun

4) take a walk

5) go to restroom

6) drink a cup of coke/tea/coffee

7)went blank (发呆)

take a small rest before continue the journey (休息。是为了走更长的路)
^0^

True Colour

One of the lesson learned from Dr Ranjit Workshop: do not be emotional.
Even during characteristic test, some of my friends advise me to stay calm and rational. Try not be too emotional too.
After a series of event, I reflect in class and at room. I really need to change my attitude. I can not live on with my emotional unstable.

On a windy Tuesday night, we help 2 friends to celebrate their birthday. After the cake cutting ceremony, the @#$%^&* few naughty fellows/ demons started to play with icing. An innocent photographer like me also been drag into the icing war. After part of my face was covered with icing, I went berserk (luckily I still know how to keep my dslr away first. If not there will be a lot of sleepless night for me)



When I went berserk, I lost track of my consciousness. The following act was unexpected. I not sure what did I do. I really cannot remember. The next moment, I saw demon T*** was against the wall. The worst thing was my left hand was on his neck. What have I done?


Story heard from my other friends, demon T*** was lifted from the floor and struggling under my caught. If the story is really true, that means I have potential energy and can lift heavy thing.
My eye was filled with killer aura that frightens away my friends. This is the first time I saw a guy’s hand was shivering when I stood beside him

From the event, I truly regret on my ignorance, arrogant and childlike behavior. My short term goal: improve my EQ in 2 months time. Avoid throwing tantrum. Avoid throwing or hitting other . try to think dance steps when emotional went too high.

30 May 2010 first free sunday in infosys program

muahahaha
weather is great drizzling drizzling
lucky i fall sick today if not can not travel on tomorrow
really must learn to take care my body

Infosys Program 15 May 2010 to 27August

Finally Infosys program started.
very happy that i was selected for the program even though i was not a brilliant student

really enjoy showing new participants from other universities to their hostel

however, the next thing shock me was
-tight schedule
->for 3 weeks non stop attend module. which mean no weekend for us. sayonaro, good bye my beautiful saturday and sunday. i can not go travel around kuching or unimas.

-no internet access during class
INTERNET, INTERNET. but first i must admitted that i was addicted to internet. life without internet is terrible, i can not bear it
(but now get use to it liao)

at same teaching lab start to know new friends from various university. It been great to know a lot of friends although my great great unimas friends has gone home. sometime i still miss them, because it been 3 years for us together

Days in UNIMAS - self cook food 逛逛UNIMAS。 便当篇

Days in UNIMAS - hostel 逛逛UNIMAS。 宿舍篇

This is just my point of view on UNIMAS hostel

kolej alamanda -> beside small lake and have beatiful view of green golf club. Canteen serve good food especially burger ramli.

kolej sakura -> it was designed by japanese architecture thus, the hostel style is japanese style. very room is a bit small however all the furniture were arrange neatly. I personally find that the building design is a bit dark where less sunlight can be shone in. Stay here for 1 week when doing liaison officer. Most kawaiistudents in UNIMAS

kolej cempaka -> it was one of the newest hostel in UNIMAS. It is aportment style where the hall and kitchen is a bit small. however, the hall and kitchen 's floor is layout with tar. one disadvantage is less place for students to hang clothes. thus, during weekend the corridor is full with wet clothes.

kolej bunga raya -> it was like a hotel. everythings was so big especially the space. the hostel was facing the scenery UNIMAs lake while the back of the hostel was facing forest. thus i called it a hotel. I stay here for my entire 3 years study.

kolej carnation -> it cater for foreigner. all the rooms were equip with air conditioner. furniture was different from other kolej. it was specially reorder to fit the student height. it is the most expensive hostel in UNIMAS. RM450 per month. for a normal double room in UNIMAS only cost RM396 per semester.

Kolej Seroja -> hmm hmm it was next to jungle. it was a traditional hostel where students can easily interact with each other. my experience of staying there for a week is enough.

Kolej Kenanga -> specially cater for pelapis and kadet polis. the apartment is the bigest among UNIMAS hostel. you can even play badminton in the house.

kolej perubatan -> 5 star hotel. the hostel apartment is equip with washing machine , fridge, televisyen and sofa. each study table have a high speed lan cable. (no need to wait for buffering ^0^). the hostel price same as the main campus. the only hostel that allow to cook. the bathroom and toilet is very big too. Visited when working part time as lab demonstrator.

Kolej sebayu -> not yet have a chance to visit

Kolej Tun Ahmad Zaidi (Taz) - it is near kolej Bunga raya and cempaka. Erm due to its location is near  forest, thus there are lots of bird nest. I found it smelly and lots of mosquitoes. The layout is some out different from each floor.  There is one floor the layout is so bad that it was almost wet all the time. However, this kolej seldom throw students out of hostel. Even if you are out of hostel, you can apply TAZ ... success rate is almost around 80%. One good thing about this hostel is the canteen food is quite nice.


photo will be uploaded later.
rented house -> full with freedom
