First week of Internship

Today was the first time in 2 weeks that i had the energy and want of going out. Watching Man Utd lift the cup was very uplifting if you leave out the last 6 dull minutes of the game. I would've preferred them to go at it for another goal then to just sit back boringly and secure the win. But that's just me.

For the past 2 weeks I've been waking up at 0700 hours daily on weekdays to get my lazy ass over to Technip at Jln Tun Razak. I'll be undergoing an internship that lasts for 3 months until the first week of August. All very exciting,

On my first day, i wore new shirt and pants and even spotted a tie. I even polished my new shoe. First impressions are important unless you're working at site then you're an idiot. Tried to look less of a schoolboy as possible but I dont think i succeeded very well. After registering with Ms. Vicky who recruited me, I was given a  short briefing together with other newbies to the company and mini tour.

Technip has an auditorium and a pool table. Immediately i told myself damn, i'll be spending quite a lot of time here.

That dream was shattered after the first week.

There isn't many hot chicks there. And on my floor there's only one girl and she's quite senior. Life was looking rather dull and sad. Until the department secretary handed me some DWP and GWP.

My first 2 days was spent reading those. It was a sleep test according to a senior draftswoman. And boy was she correct.

DWP - Department Working Procedure
GWP - General Working Procedure.

I almost failed. Almost.

Then i was given my first task:

Complete or try on the examples given in STAAD Pro. I thought like hey, im pretty good with computers so doing these wont be too difficult rite? WRONG!!

Blardy hell, some commands cant even be found and others you have to type it yourself! I didnt even know there's an editor before!

Well, i didnt take Software last sem. Take concrete some more! Quite the useful what. Sigh...

Anyway, after spending a full day on those examples i finally know how to do member offset and response spectrum to name a few.

I'm not gonna spill much bout my work but all in all, it's been rather good for me. I am not enjoying it much since I look like a dumb schoolboy over there but I like the working environment. It's challenging. I enjoy it much. Cant wait for my next task. I'm sure it's gonna be another challenge.

Je ne peur pas!

Osama bin Laden : DECEASED

DECEASED

Born as one of the sons to a multi billionaire Saudi businessman, he was 'awaken' to a sort of religious zealotry that encouraged him to plan and execute such atrocities with his most famous 'feat', the destruction of the twin world trade centres building in New York.

The war on terror has finally achieved it's utmost priority, the capture or death of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the 9-11 attacks.

He was killed in a firefight off the city of Islamabad with US ground forces claiming his body after the battle. It appears that his body in now on its way to the United States.

But this might be sort of a subterfuge. By the US maybe? Take a long look at it, The war on terror doesnt seem to be going very well. Ground forces are locked in a stalemate and there wasnt any 'big' news to be considered as success.

Or it might just be a ploy from Osama bin laden, to take some heat off his back? Maybe he got bored of living in the caves of Tora Bora? How hard would it be to find someone that looks exactly like him or to pay surgeons to create a look alike? After all, once the firefight has died down, there is much to rely on physical appearance to determine the validity of the person.

Unless you're a CSI fan.

Anyway i think we should all take this as what the media is feeding us and REJOICE. That 3000 over lives lost has finally been revenged on. So is 1 = 3000?

Damn.

Canada

Geoffrey Canada : Every day, Canada is driven by a deep belief that all children can succeed, regardless of race, wealth or ZIP code.

He definitely didn't come to Malaysia

Sometimes I do wonder if wearing longs pants and collar tee will make me a better student than when im wearing shorts and tee-shirts

Next Semester

I've been thinking recently, i wonder what should i take next semester. Should take English speaking or should i enhance my proficiency in the other languages?

I've almost forgotten my German and it's such a shame. German was so interesting and fun to learn. It might be due to meine lehrerin being such a sehr gut Frau. I think it might be because it isn't too difficult to grasp and understand.

Unlike French, Il est facile pas et tres difficile. Envidenment im having a hard time remembering words and learning new ones. Blardy french is very similar to English and some words are even spelt the same but gives a whole different meaning. Peut-etre the English copied the french. Nevertheless, french is still kinda sexy for me and lvl 300 looks rather tempting.

I am able to write a little but still unable to speak as fluent as i like. Maybe taking the next level will enable me to fake a parisian-born-chinese speech. Il y a tres bon pour montrer.

A cretin is being censored unlawfully and a cretin being a cretin gobbles it up nonetheless.But do not fear, I will rebound, you invisible dark hand will never prevail for long!

Will be back to the place where i belong in 2 weeks and 2 days.

But now, work work.

Mr. A Teaser Video

 This video is rated -U-
Sesuai untuk ditonton oleh semua lapisan masyarakat.

No actual sex scenes are shown. All you get are some saggy boobs. So is he or is he not the man in the video?

 Video has been removed due to the fact that police are looking for the person who uploaded the vid hence i fear they will also look for ppl who is spreading. I do not want to be ISA-ed. Screw me for being a coward.

Would definitely have hired a hotter girl. Might as well make full use of it rite? I am saddened when newspapers blared foreign! I thought maybe Russian or some woman from Uzbekistan. Bloody hell, CHINESE IS FOREIGN???

Bo ko leng!

SP rekect moi

I just got rejected by SP setia. According to them, I have excellent credentials and qualities but they just can't fit me in their organizations.

These rejection letter makes u feel so good about yourself that u might forget you're being rejected and that all those niceties are just a load of bullshit.

Poco-poco dance

This is the poco-poco dance.



Recently it has been banned by a local mufti who is pursuing the issuance of a fatwa to ban it being danced at in public places.Apparently it contains elements of christianity and the worship of idols. Is that just a fancy way of saying taoism?

I had no idea what a poco-poco dance is but hving read it from The Star i went to youtube to search for a video on this poco-poco.

Poco-poco apparently means CHUBBY in indon. Unless my translation is way off. After watching the video, it looked like an ordinary stupid dance that people are always inclined to organize at events. It looked harmless and could even be a load of fun.

Many people were disappointed with the decision of the Perak JAKIM and it is rather outrageous that a dance will be banned in public for no solid reasons. But what's more important is that we have this overtly zealous elite making decisions on behalf of the people that is driving us backwards.

We are like sheeps and they the shepherds, herding us towards the wrong direction. Religous fundamentalism is growing in Malaysia and that bodes ill for many of us. What i detest most about the fundamentalists is that they are always just too conservative or too extreme. They never did know how to balance things. And i dont think they know how either.

I think we're all gonna be screwed if religous idiots are given seats of power and as it can be seen, some really do make it and began proving their idiocy right off the mark. I think i'm gonna go pray to that statue sitting on a tall table. She might just hear my prayer.

Bleak

Things are looking rather bleak.

UN

The role of the United Nations will be determined in 2011. People of the future will look back to this very year and say "Oh, so this is the year that started it all!"

Is it UN's rise to prominence or its fall to be forever consigned to the back pages of history? The actions taken and the results of those actions will affect the way the UN is pictured in every person's mind.

Is this body just a big clumsy one with too much tape around or is it the epitome of unity and cooperation? 2011 will be the year the United Nations should be remembered.

Bank Of Negara!

I just checked my email and found this hiding in one of my junk mails. My curiosity got the better of me and i soon found myself reading through the whole email.

I was so tempted to give them everything they wanted, except they didn't ask for money. All they did was ask me for my address, Identification card number, telephone number and etc which i am unwilling to disclose even to my University. Too bad! Why didn't they give me a bank account to transfer a sum of my money to enable me to receive my 7.5 million USD? Why? Why?

I will now publish the said letter from BANK OF NEGARA! Wtf man, if you wanna con a Malaysian at least speak the language right!

Hunger Pands

Today i had breakfast at 1000hrs with much gratitude to Dr. Tennis with Dennis for being such a bore.

My next meal was 49 minutes ago.

kithock started to look like a big turkey just now. Damn.

Malaysia's Embarrassment

Not only is it the epitome of a man's stupidity, but it signifies the inhumanity and insensitivity to the plight of others showcased by our very own Malaysian paper.

A caricature just days before depicting Ultraman running away from a tsunami already carrying debris, making twisted joke out of something so horrendous.

Maybe we should learn to take a chill pill yo?

What about our greatest and most beloved one and only wife of our One leader. Blaming the tsunami to Japan's ignorance of its environment and the neglect for green technology and eco-friendly ways.



Seriously? WHAT THE FUCK???? An earthquake of that magnitude will devastate any other country more than japan. Japan is unlucky that a natural catastrophe occurred, she doesnt need any random person speaking without thinking with her brains. We are lucky that we are not situated within the ring of fire, otherwise, i dare not think otherwise.

Japan Nuclear Rumour

I'm sure you guys have heard of the devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake that shook the whole of Japan.
One of the after effect of the earthquake was the failure and explosion of a nuclear facility in the Fukushima prefecture.

As can be seen on new,s the explosion of one of the reactors released a cloud of smoke and steam into the air. Officials have declared that it contains zero or very little radiation which means it isnt a health hazard.

A second explosion has just occured a few hours ago at the same plant but officials are refuting the claim that a nuclear meltdown has occured. BBC news has interview certain personnel in the relevant field that this scenario appears to be more like 3 mile island than Chernobyl.

A nuclear incident occurred on 3 mile island where the outer case of the reactor exploded BUT the radiation was contained!

There was been rumours spreading one saying the radiation will reach Penang hill at 4pm today which means it'll probably reach Nibong Tebal at around now, 5.20pm. Ladies and Gentleman, do we hear flash news of people in hong kong or taiwan dying form radiation?

Another warned people from going out if it rains as the rain might be acidic and that it will burn your arms, head, hair and everything.

Loads of bullshit. Since the rumour stated BBCnews as a source, i quickly surfed the website and searched through every update available. BBC DID NOT report a spread of radiation to Malaysia at 4pm nor that rains will be acidic today.

However, a US vessel 100 miles off the coast of japan did record a LOW LEVEL radiation which is not left threatening.

As of now, what you nice people can do is STOP helping this rumour to spread by checking out the validity and originality of the source before re-posting it.

People are so addicted to instant information that you shouldnt be suprised that some are tempted to play reporter by spreading things that are untrue. This 2 'news' are cases in point.

RVhost.exe

Today my laptop was infected by a virus named RVHOST.exe. Google-ing it reveals quite a number of results that were comforting. Getting hits means you'll probably be able to get some solutions.

I was found out my comp was infected when i turned it on in the morning or afternoon depending on how you judge when you wake up, and everything looks fine. But after entering my password, i was greeted with a permanent BLACK screen. All you can see is black and your mouse cursor which you can move. Nothing else.

I then brought to IT zone, an IT shop near to my uni, they checked it for abit, told me it's an autorun virus and recommended that i reformat. Of coz, reformatting is the easiest in fact dumbest solution to getting infected by virus since you lose eveyrthing because of one or 2 files.

I contacted benny and he told me it was Child's Play. That child's play took me 4 hours to complete.

The thing abour RVhost is that, not only is your screen frozen black, Task Manager is also disabled. To irritate you more, regedit is also disabled hence there's no quick fix.

I logged into my Guest account and tried to fix it from there. I did manage to delete RVhost.exe from the task manager which keeps my task manager seen and finally my desktop screen too. How i managed to do that was by becoming the flash. ctrl+shift+Esc to call up task manager then had to choose the right process to end. The thing is that, pressing it once calls up the task manager for ONE sec. RVHOST is that fucked up.

So i got a bright idea to lag my comp by calling up task manager multiple times. The number reached was 190 tasks. But deleting it was the easy part. Next i tried to edit the registry as i was taught in

http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/spyware-viruses-etc/how-remove-rvhost-exe-malware-71164.html

but error kept poping up. I guessed it was because it's not an administrator account.

All in all, after 4 hours of relentless trying. i Finally succeeded in shoving  RVhost.exe out of my laptop. And i never want to see it appear again.

So guys, next time scan whoever's pendrive you're inserting.

Chap Goh Mei

This took place about 2 weeks ago.

So we just got back to campus thinking there will be a test but found out that it was canceled at the last minute. Hence, out we go through the campus gates straight away.

1st thing we did when we reach Penang Island was to savour a bowl of herbal soup. Situated in Sg Pinang Food court, it looked just like any other stall except it's a tad bigger. We ordered a black chicken herbal soup. It wasnt too shabby albeit the soup was seriously black in colour.

We then went to try 'Kou Lou Sah hor fun.' Now i've known this place a few years back. My dad brought me here but i kept forgetting to introduce this place. Coincidentally, sue searched online for good 'Oo chian' Fried Oyster and it was located at this very same stall.

Unsurprisingly we ordered both at the same time. =)

 

Since it was about 4pm and we had a planned dinner at 7-8pm. We needed to do some walking! But we had to find the location of the restaurant first.. We parked on king street and just started walking as 'The Sire Museum' is located on King's street.

We walked the whole street but couldn't find it. Something smoky caught our eyes. It seems there are some procession or event up front. Since we needed some digestive help anyway we walked towards it.

We saw lots of people gathering infront of the Kuan yin temply and there was a structure with holes erected in front of it. Next to it was a chinese association building and then we saw it. We are in our very first Chap Goh Mei festival in Penang!

 

Stuff like this, you dont get to see it in kl. And having been to Penang countless times, this is the first time that i got to experience.

 

There was also a street food section where people where invited to hawk their wares. We noticed a 'Char ke' stall which was frequented by many people. Alas, we were still full.

Having planned to catch a movie at 9pm, we chose to forgo that to play audience to this celebration.

There were flag throwers and cute little girls selling 'Kam' which is mandarin oranges.

You buy the 'kam' and throw into coloured holes of the hole-y structure i mentioned earlier. Each colour bears a different wish. If i remember correctly, Blue-Career, Yellow-Wealth, Green-Health, Red-Family.

Took me 4 times to get my orange into the hole. Sue was being a showoff.

We found out there will be a lion dance perfomance at around 9.30-10pm by the main troupe of Penang. Promises to be spectacular. Since people were gathering inside the Chinese Association for the opening ceremony, we continue our search for The Sire Museum and have our dinner.

I whipped out my bb and using google maps found out that the restaurant was located a few meters from where i parked my car. But if we did find it earlier, we wouldnt have seen the Chap Goh Mei festival. Blessing in disguise i guess.

Free bread! Woohooo, we all like free stuff.

Sue had her mushroom soup. Which wasnt one of the best but it's one of the good ones. Being not creamy, we could really taste the mushroom and feel the texture of grinded? Blended? mushroom.

Sue ordered a Salmon with Croissant. The salmon was generously served and it was fresh. What more could u ask for from a RM28 dish?

I ordered lamb cutlets with mushroom sauce. It was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Having not eaten lamb for quite some times now. And i dont know why. This lamb is just the thing that tempt the gluttony in me for lamb. I dont need to describe it, just take a look for yourself. And it's cheap to, about RM38 if im not mistaken.

After that Sue dragged me to cam whore around the restaurant.

Once she was satisfied, we rushed back to the temple to watch the Lion Dance. Alas, it was almost over when we reach. Oh wells, there's always next year.

The Racist That You Are

                I’ve never participated in a student election before hence I was like a frog under a coconut shell when I was exposed to the reality and cruelty of one today. It’s not that I didn’t have a chance but rather I wasn’t really interested in politics. Nevertheless I think if I did run for something I’ll probably get one in a million votes, from my mom from way back in kl.

                The way I see it, there was stereotype evident in every sector of the assembly, with the Chinese one side and the Malays in the other. We keep trying to persuade ourselves that we are united and above the race issue. We are not. It’s not that we were born racists it’s just that sometimes we get afraid and that sometimes we are hard pressed against the wall.

                The man with a plan and the correct choice of words wins. That’s politics. Let’s face it, people of the masses wouldn’t know if you are capable or not from the look of your face but If you can persuade them that you are, then you’ve got them hooked. The person able to speak the best with a mastery of language wins. I probably should then I speak 5 damn languages. VOTE FOR ME BITCHES!

                People pretending to be your friends will be your friends until the last minute. I don’t much fancy this racial bias but I can’t say so for the rest of them. I mean to support someone just because they have the same colour whilst rejecting another who might be more capable is just lost in me. But what do I know rite? It’s just politics.

                You might say, oh this is just a student election it doesn’t matter. But most of our current leaders graduated from some university somewhere, doesn’t it make u wonder that things might have manifested from something that doesn’t matter?

                Looking at Egypt and the present situation in the Mid east you cant help but wonder when can we as a proud multi racial country break the mould and truly vote for a capable person and not just to protect something or ourselves. Sorry ISA I aint inciting anything please don’t catch me.

                Coming back to the assembly, what I saw was awfully sad for our country. The racial divide begins from the speaker’s stand with the Chinese on one side and the Malays the other. The Indians, I love your curry but you’re the minority of the minority in this campus. Don’t hate me, you know that is true.

                Kudos to our Civil School. Where every other school has a no contention seat, we gave the people a choice. There were 2 candidates, both being fine speakers and having a great plan of their own. It would be rather tight if I were to make a choice but I would in the end choose the person that I trust most that I believe to have caliber and not because he share my skin or my eyes. Us Chinese, we are born to be branded as small eyes so live with it.

                I am gonna go local(meaning im gonna talk bout my Civil school) and rant for abit now. If you are not willing to read further please click the X on the top right corner. If you get angry after reading this, I am no longer in campus. If u agree with what I say, just smile. If you’re the ISA, I am with Petra now in the UK, burning Malaysian ringgit on Southampton beer.

                Ladies and gentleman, my fellow friends, I hope you will not follow the footsteps of your forefathers. Be brave, be intelligent. Prove that are worthy of the title of an undergraduate with aspirations and brains to achieve that. You need to realize that things are much bigger than they seem an that you might be the snowflake that causes an avalanche wiping everything in it’s way.

                You dumbasses should read a little more and grow from that cocoon that you are in. You might be from the north or from the south it doesn’t matter because what matters is your mentality and your mentality is that of a lioness.

                Am I saying you’re not a human? Maybe I am, because all a lioness wants to do is to rear her cub into a big strong lion. She don’t care if her fellow lioness starves or shit. All she cares for is herself and her breed. AND THAT’S YOU! Reflect and think if I am accusing you wrongly?

                You people flaunt that one civil and one Malaysia crap at me. You wear the shirt every week and you promote that ONE shit. What I see and I feel is that you people are just doing what’s convenient for you. You profess that you’re are not racial bias and that you feel truly in a family of civilians. Yet when the time of tribulations come, you disappear from sight. Don’t flaunt that bullshit at me when me not wearing that shirt feels as homely with Malays and non-malays alike. Keep that bullshit where you keep other bullshit, in your cupboard.

                It’s time to break the fucking mould. Grow up, be mature. It’s no longer he’s black and he’s dumb. Or he’s white and he’s rich. It’s about who you are inside. If you truly believe he is capable vote for that bitch! Don’t vote for another just because your friends are pressuring you or that you fear your seniors. Heck if any fucker dares to even points a finger at you aggressively, I’m sure the whole batch; malay, Chinese and Indian alike gonna be infront of you.

                Sorry, I shouldn’t flaunt this family stuff. You probably don’t believe in unity because all you believe in is race. It’s time to make a difference, it’s time for change. If we as the future leaders do not change our racists and lop-sided mindset, we will be in the same path as our forefathers. And I would very much hate to see that.

                So fuck me and fuck you racists bastards and bitches.

Oh, and for being racist, you might not be able to comprehend my post completely. Oops?
