Glory or Gory?


Soon... Soon... Soon.... It's 9 days away from my final papers! Hereby, I declare a war on 22nd Nov till 29th Nov in UTP. Will it be a glory or gory this time around? Argh... This semester is too stiff and fragile for me. I want to hit the first G but I barely spend time to avoid the second G. Am I starting to feel bored with my student life or I just can't wait to be in the industry?


Ok, I can still see some hopes in my Gas Field Engineering and Well Stimulation papers but not for the Advanced Drilling and Petroleum Economics courses. I don't even see a spot of light in Petroleum Economics. It is important to know about it but I just can't absorb those hurdle rate, sensitivity analysis urgggghhh that is so just not me. Advanced Drilling war will be tough I know it but I have to work really hard to win that and defeat my enemies (questions) haha.


Before I officially officiate my study week, here is just a good and releasing video to be watched upon to burst some stress especially to those having tests or exams. All the best people and have a clean and fair war in the hall. So long :)
sorry can't attached the video, to watch

God of Knowledge

What happen when a student is believed to be brilliant and do not make mistakes in his study life? Yes, a God of Knowledge. I have a classmate who I now called him the God of Knowledge. Whatever he says, he does, he talks everything are swallowed blindly by people around him. For me, it is too funny and I just can't stop laughing whenever I called him the God of Knowledge. God does not omit sins and He's the creator, He knows every single things that go round this world. So if people believe that he made no sins, then we should just call him the God, right?

I would say most of my classmate praise him like he is some kind of miracle that is sent to this earth to help them in they studies. I am dare enough to say this because I was the victim of this 'miracle' several times and yesterday was the peak moment of everything. I'm not jealous with his knowledge but whenever he says the solution is wrong, IT MEANS WRONG and there is no even a single human being trying to argue or spat his idea. All they do is copy his work and submit to the lecturer. Then, why on earth do they have to attend those lectures, just stay in the room and wait for his solution. It is so disturbing because people tend to be dishonest in their works and the main concern is just to get an A with no sincerity and efforts and eventually it happen to my group my group mate believe in him (who is in a different group) and claimed our group assignment was wrong.

Back in 2008, I had this assignment that I did all by myself alone. So when people asked for solution, I explained my workings. After couple of days, I had an email by others saying that my solution is wrong so to clarify thing, I asked them how do they know it was wrong, they answered 'because *****'s answer is different from yours'. What the heck is that? Just because my answers is different doesn't means it's wrong so I met my lecturer for some opinions on the working and he told me, mine is correct and maybe there are several methods applicable to compute the solution. So, what would you conclude from that? He's the God of Knowledge for them isn't it? Since that I just don't feel like sharing my solutions with others and that makes me a better person because I can survive with no one helps and I felt sincere in my studies.

Before dropping off, I just what to remind myself and everyone, Humans are humans, no one can be God because we make mistakes and imperfect. Those mistakes are to be the best teacher in teaching us to be humble and trust in ourselves. No matter how high you jump, you'll fall back to the ground and that is just how life works. Learn to be independent and use your brain to think! Thanks for your time so long :)~

Kellogg's Rice Krispies® Treat

Westerns make their own rice krispies at home! Isn't that wonderful and that just gave me some new projects once I'm back in KL. haha. Do you still remember this snack long time ago in Malaysia? I grew up with this snack man, so I will never gonna forget it. I still remember last couple of month I questioned my sister about this treats. I wonder where those stocks in Malaysia because the markets just stop selling those and I really want them back into my pocket.
When I was in primary school, it's like a force that made my hand to keep few packets in my school bag and have them as my snacks during break. The advertisements on busses really stuck permenatly in my head. REMEMBER: the krispies treat is being pulled away with the yummy-looked sticky thing? Haha. Wooooow irresistible. Unfortunately now I have to make my own instead of buy-and-eat haha

Handy Manny Cake

Since it's gonna be my lil nephew birthday soon, my sister puts some thoughts of making him a 3D handy manny toolbox cake. Ok, I know it sounds ridiculous and how on earth are you making those characters? urm, so I browsed through several sites and blogs on that handy manny cake. Oh my Oh my, it's not easy OK but I felt in love with some toolboxes. Have a look at those pictures that I ranked based on my own personal decision. I bet you'll love them too. :)

1st prize


I love how the baker can make the toolbox perfectly using rice krispies treats for the structure (I miss those krispies treats auuuuummmm) hahah plus the cake was put on top of another cake Imagine how big the cake is.. hahah love it love it! But she left Mr Rusty (the wrench), Mr Squeeze (the plier) and Mr Flicker (the flashlight) out.


2nd prize


This is a darn cute cake too with prefect 3D tools the only thing that the baker left out was the Handy Manny character itself. He's a cute little dude and please he should be there on the cake. haha Oh yeah one more thing Mr Flicker. haha

3rd prize


Look at this messed up cake. Handy Harry really needs to rearrange all his tools back into the box before those tools jump of from the table. Haha :)

Yeay, so people have fun doing and baking or browsing some good cake design for your love ones and so long :)

Breakfast

It has been almost 3 days I had my breakfast as early as 8.30 am. Yeah it's unusual for me in UTP haha but it is all because I wake up early for my new morning routine (just started for 3 days anyway), JOGGING. On the first day, I went with Hani and we only managed to round the lake once and most of the time we stopped and play those poles and exercises facilities piled about 200 m away from each other. So less time were spent for jog on that day! haha

Yesterday was not really a productive day eventhough it's the second attempt, we tried our best to jog we actually jog more than quarter of the track, unfortunately, no sweat! Ok, am I trying to prove that sweat symbolize the effectiveness of the jogging? haha my bad. Any how that was really weird because there's sunlight on the second day unlike the day before today but we didn't soak like hell.

This morning, the weather was very good exactly like the first day and there are Hirundinidae (burung layang-layang) flying low with groups of stock (bangau) sunbathing over the lake bank. Wow isn't this sounded like a literature. haha Back to our business, so today we broke our personal records with 2 rounds and most of the time we jogged! It's a good improvement and we should do it frequently.


As usual, after tired and thirsty, our tummies start to make the annoying sound that as if they're saying "we're empty, we need something to digest!" so yeah we headed to the nearest cafe and had our normal breakfast. I bet people will start to ask why is the post title is 'breakfast' yet the only thing that I typed is on the jogging activity. OK people I was actually thinking of having a pancake for my breakfast. I missed my sister's pancakes (she's really a good maker I'm telling you haha) so the only thing that I get for my breakfast in UTP is the Kueh Teow Goreng and Maggi Goreng and that is why I introduce you with my new routine just to cover up my starve. Haha...

YUMMY!!!!
That's all friends. So long :)

P/S: Reference for Hirundinidae and stock

Melancholic, am I?

Some people say that being sad is normal and making it as an illness is not a good lifestyle but how am I suppose to do if I just cant leave out those diseases? Am I a melancholy?

I found a good reading material on the Melancholic personality traits, check yourself whether are you in this category or not: link here

Personality Strengths of the Melancholy

Deep and thoughtful
Analytical
Serious and purposeful
Genius prone
Talented and creative
Artistic or musical
Appreciative of beauty
Sensitive to others
Self-sacrificing
Conscientious
Idealistic
As a parent, sets high standards and wants everything done right.
As a homemaker, keeps everything in order.
As an employee, schedule oriented and hard working.
A list maker and keeper.

Personality Weaknesses of the Meloncholy

Easily offended
Can get too caught up in details
Doesn't do well with change
Struggles with insecurity
Tends towards depression

However, melancholic traits tend to dwell towards the negative attributes. So identify yourself and try to make the worst to better. Effort is more important that surrender without try. Have a nice day So long :)
