Show Case + F E E L I N G S

No idea for a new post. Just wanna share this before going out today:

Last two days, I am quite happy thinking of my holidays this week. So, I made this:




But last night, I was thinking of some 'dark' feeling, so this came out to my mind. Why 'the dark lord'? - It actually refers to someone who messed up with me yesterday. Huh.~





How fast my feeling can change. I guess it is true that I am very emotional.

Europa Park

Semalam pergi ke Europa Park untuk menghabiskan sisa-sisa masa yang berbaki di sini. Memang best, cuma agak panas. Roller coaster di sana banyak juga yang best, terutamanya yang ini:





Oleh kerana itu, banyak gambar yang aku tangkap hari itu cuma berkisarkan pada roller coaster tersebut.








Apa-apa pun, aku paling suka Cinema 4D dalam taman tema itu. Memang real, dan aku rasa kalau semua panggung menggunakan teknologi 4D, aku tak akan tengok movie dekat PC lagi. Everything was so real, seolah-olah apa yang ada di dalam movie berada di depan kita. Teknologi memang betul-betul melekakan. Huh..~

Last but not least, ini adalah shot yang paling aku suka untuk semalam:





Banyak gambar, kan? Jadi macam fotopages la plak. Hahaha.

Ini masih sikit lagi.
Next post will be about food, so just expect for more photos :)

I hate spammers! Seriously.

If you feel unlikely to give good/positive comments on any of my posts, please, pretty please, DO NOT leave any comment at ALL.

Comment like this "I think I can give opinion about your post which is not boring, so that people will not waste their time reading your post!" or this one "This topic is childish" - is NOT APPRECIATED at ALL. So, sorry (should I be?) if I put them to trash.

From now own, comments from anonymous aka annoying, people out of nowhere have been disabled. If you really want to comment, use your blogspot or other open ID (live journal, wordpress, etc)

I don't care for comments, I don't care for the traffic hit. I write for myself and sometimes for my friends. So, I'll just write what I think is good for us. If you don't know me at all, yes you can comment, but please be good, or I'll be mad!


p.s: Just tired of stupid spammers who think that they are better than the others. Go away spammers, I don't like your unnecessary comments AT ALL.

Internship unofficially ends today ... :(

Today is my last internship day at BASF SE, Ludwigshafen. Next week, I'll be taking a week long vacation, just to finish up my remaining holidays as allocated by BASF in the internship agreement. In fact, even with the whole next week of holidays, I still have 3 days of holidays untouched. (BASF allocates 20 days of holidays - I can't believe it until I experienced it!).

Right now, I'm sitting alone in the office (everyone else has left the office heading for home). I'm still trying to configure out my mind, to take a deep breath, and to make my farewell with my workplace as good as possible. But, I can't help it but to feel very sad. I'm leaving for good, why should I be sad?Why?

Maybe it is because I think that BASF is one of the most wonderful things that ever happened in my life. At first I was not really happy with my work, as I found it very new and really confusing for me to understand. However, as the time passed by, I know it was really good to be here; to do the simulations, and to be a little bit creative with the processes involve. I feel the freedom of working independently, and I enjoy the flexibility given by my supervisor. It was really great.

I am not saying that my working experience is the very best experience for a chemical engineer. What I can say is, working experience in BASF is a very good one, and I just realize that I really enjoy working here after knowing that I am going back to Malaysia soon. It doesn't mean that I am not happy to return to my hometown and UTP, but I just feel very sad to leave all the 8-months working routine, and traveling experiences here. I can't imagine it! Just go with flow, they say. Yeah, I hope I can go with the flow.


I'm planning to travel to some places nearby next week, just to bring back the old memories during my first arrival days here. I hope that I can spend my last days in Germany properly, and I can bring back some beautiful memories to Malaysia.

As for BASF, I will miss it, starting from now, always and forever. I hope I can live with it. :(

Tag #5 - Bertuahnya Saya... :D

Tag aku yang kelima. Terima kasih kepada orang-orang yang mengingati dan mengetag diri ini yang tak seberapa. Kali ini aku ditag oleh Illy. Tag ini agak macam mencapub, poyo, mempromote diri sendiri, dsb, jadi jangan salahkan aku andainya aku nampak sedemikian rupa. Salahkan tag ini. Mwahaha. Here it goes:

5 sebab kenapa aku rasa bertuah menjadi diri aku sendiri:

1. Aku dilahirkan dalam sebuah keluarga yang bagi aku amat bahagia. Abang, kakak, adik lelaki, adik perempuan, semuanya aku ada. Dan hubungan kami adik beradik adalah sangat rapat. Kadang-kadang gaduh jugak, tapi asam garam dalam kehidupan la kan. Tapi most of the time, Alhamdulillah, everything is perfect when we are together. :D

2. I have great parents, especially my mum. Aku rasa sangat bertuah kerana mempunyai seorang ibu seperti mak aku. She is my everything. No matter how hard is the problem, how rough is the route in my life, when I hear her voice everything will go just fine, if not better. Wait for my return mak, I have something special for you, dan tak lupa untuk ayah juga. :D

3. I have good friends around me. I have some issues with some of them, (i know they have it with me too) tapi biasa la kan, asam garam dalam kehidupan. Nobody is perfect and we are usually perfect for each other. Tapi yang membuatkan aku rasa sangat bertuah, aku rasa tak salah andainya aku cakap kat sini yang aku mempunyai seorang kawan baik, my bestest buddy, yang sangat baik. When I heard that he visited my family a couple of months ago, aku rasa sangat terharu. Nak saja aku balik at that moment to join the gathering, makan cream puff yang dia bawa. Thanks best buddy!

4. Alhamdulillah, setakat ini rezeki aku sentiasa murah. (ni macam idea Illy saja..nak ceduk cket hehe). Sejak dari kecil lagi, aku tak pernah rasa kurang apa-apa. Famili aku bukannya kaya raya tapi I have almost everything since I was born. Kasih sayang melebihi segala-galanya. ^_^

5. Last but not least, I am happy with myself, for who I am. I am not perfect but hey, I am so glad to be myself. Jerawat banyak ke (tak macam Alin..hehe), kurus kering ke (tak macam ? ..hehe), I am happy as long as I am just like myself today! Yup, I try to improve (jasmani dan rohani), but if it isn't working, I am still happy and I can live with it, just like this for the rest of my life. :D


Enough of me and myself, how about you? I wanna hear something from Harith, Pitya aka Hafizd, Husna, Anis and Dayla. Come on, jangan malas-malas, silalah buat tag ini. Bagi aku, tag ini bukannya untuk berbangga diri tapi untuk menilai diri sendiri, dan membuatkan kita lebih bersyukur dengan diri sendiri. So, what are you waiting for...just do it. :D

20 Days to go....

Begitu cepat masa berlalu. 20 hari saja lagi aku akan kembali ke Malaysia. Rindu nak balik tapi semakin berat hati nak tinggalkan Germany. There is something here that I think I'll miss forever (jangan fikir bukan-bukan). Hahaha.

Just finished doing another so called art. Hehehe. Ini dia, nak show off sikit.

Kebelakangan ni aku memang lebih banyak menghabiskan masa dengan Photoshop instead of watching movies and series. So, jangan tensen-tensen membaca andainya aku selalu saja menghapdet blog ini dengan showing off my photoshop work. Dah agak lama juga tak review movie. Lain kali la ya. Dah lama tak tengok movie. Hari tu terdonlod The Incredible Hulk berbahasa Sepanyol. Penat saja tunggu. Isk3x.

Ok la, this is actually another blog update before long? sleep tonight. Bye, good night and have a nice day everyone! =D

Yet another boring post: About Internship

*Introduction: Just another digital work that I have done last night. Tell me what you think. (Tak ada kaitan dengan topik di atas)

I need to write something today. Since I am still doing my internship, I am still in good mood to write about it, and it is good to reflect something about the program. My focus would be about the objectives of the program and how far they have been achieved.
These are the objectives of the internship program taken directly from the UTP Internship Guidelines (2007). The objectives of the training are as follows:
• To integrate theory with practice
• To introduce students to work culture and industrial practices
• To give opportunity to students to work with industrial practitioners
• To expose students to potential employers
• To acquaint the UTP students with industry and its programs

In my opinion, most of the objectives were achieved but in different ways for each and every intern. Dealing with different companies; different tasks, with different working environment, it is not easy for the interns to achieve the same objectives. Some companies really give the opportunities for their interns to really work, to be part of the team while some other companies will not give such high responsibilites for the interns to manage.

I have no complaints towards my internship. It is such golden opportunity to be in BASF and to learn research-based work. I have never thought that Chemical Engineering is very diverse from what I imagined before. It is an eye-opener for me. Experiencing life in a foreign country is really great, too. In fact, life experience here is far greater in term of value than the working experience.
I however do have complaint about the application procedure to BASF; about some administrative issues related to the program. It is not a big matter for my friends and I, at least. I just heard that thing got worse for my junior batch (Jun 2008 - Jan 2009 Internship). They didn't get advancement in scholarship and the flight was delayed for two weeks. For my batch, it was only one week, and we got the advancement in scholarship. Maybe for some people advancement in scholarship is nothing, but for me it is really an important issue.

I just feel sorry for them. I just hope that things will not get worse than it already is for the incoming batches. Do they really read the recommendations written by the students in the final report? I wish that they read and seriously implement the solution so that everything will get better. If things get worse, I am not really sure what are recommendations for.


Boring, huh? I'm bored too, that's why I am typing another blog entry today. :p

Kerana bola itu bulat...

Sekarang musim bola. Secara ikhlasnya aku katakan, aku tak begitu meminati sukan yang satu ini. Aku selalu saja rasakan bola itu sukan yang bahaya. Semuanya kerana pengalaman pahit semasa bermain bola sewaktu aku di bangku sekolah. Pengalaman apa? Biarlah itu menjadi kenangan pahit aku.

Tapi apa-apa pun, aku layan saja kalau orang cakap dia minat bola, dan aku tumpang gembira saja kalau pasukan kegemaran mereka menang. Just don't go into further details; how they kick the ball, what is the angle, how they didn't manage to score, etc. Itu aku memang tak boleh tumpang sekaki. Kadang-kadang yang bercakap tu belum tentu hebat pun kalau dia yang bermain. Hahaha. Just kidding =p


Kerana bola itu bulat, dan aku tak begitu berminat untuk melihat orang mengejar dan merebut bola yang satu itu, maka aku pun menghabiskan masa untuk menonton filem-filem yang semakin memenuhi cakera keras (hard disk) aku. Latest hindi movie yang aku tengok, Jodha Akbar. Not so great though. I like Devdas a lot more than this movie. Aishwarya Rai is much more elegant in Devdas.


Movie lain? Saawariya, juga Hindi movie. Agak membosankan. Lepas ni nak tengok Taare Zameen Par, another award winning movie. Hopefully best dan dapat cover 6 jam yang aku bazirkan untuk Saawariya dan Jodha Akbar. Thanks to Illy for suggesting this movie. I have a feeling that this movie is good.

Any more suggestions for great movies? Tak kisahlah bahasa apa, aku layankan saja. Janji best. :D


Next time will be a special tribute post. See you.. :D

Menghitung Hari...

Tak sampai sebulan lagi, aku akan kembali ke Malaysia. Perasaan? Ada perasaan gembira tapi pada masa yang sama ada sedikit kesedihan. Teringat lagi masa awal-awal dapat tahu aku akan ke Germany. Memanglah seronok tapi rasa berat hati juga untuk meninggalkan keluarga. Nasib baik cuma untuk 7 bulan. Ingat lagi, ada sesi fotografi untuk student yang akan ke Germany. Pejam celik pejam celik sekarang dah hampir tamat pun.

Mizi, Tzu Fen, Aku, Pei Chie, Amir (not in the photo: Angie)


Okay lah, tanpa membuang masa aku akan ceritakan serba sedikit apa yang gembira dan apa yang sedih.

Aku akan balik 13 Julai nanti dari Frankfurt ke KLIA dan kemudiannya terus ke Pengkalan Chepa. Kira-kiranya 14 Julai nanti aku akan kembali menjejakkan kaki di Tanah Serendah Sekebun Bunga. Aku begitu merindui kampung halaman, aku rindu masakan mak dan kak long, aku rindu senda gurau bersama-sama adik beradik yang lain. Aku rindukan kawan-kawan, terutamanya my bestest buddy, Harith bin Razali. Bukannya aku tak rindu kawan-kawan lain, tapi mungkin kerana terlalu banyak masa aku di UTP selama ini diluangkan bersama Harith, bila dia tiada saja aku rasa macam ada ruang kosong dalam hidup seharian.

Oh ya, tiga orang intern (Amir, Mizi, Angie) akan balik lebih awal, pada 9 Julai kerana visa mereka tamat tempoh lebih awal. Aku balik bersama Pei Chie dan Tzu Fen pada 13 Julai. In fact, aku tak rasa apa-apa pun. Ada pro dan kontranya sama ada balik lambat atau balik awal. Balik lambat, aku boleh spend lebih banyak masa-masa terakhir aku di sini. Aku mungkin ambil cuti untuk minggu terakhir tu. Entah bila lagi aku akan berpeluang untuk berada di sini. Balik awal, lebih banyak masa untk bersama keluarga sebelum memulakan tahun akhir pengajian. Insya Allah, kalau panjang umur banyak lagi masa untuk bersama keluarga.
Gembira? Banyak sebab. Antaranya famili, kawan-kawan, dan makanan. Aku sudah jemu juga dengan makanan di sini. Tak banyak pilihan. Yang dapat dipilih pun belum tentu sama dengan selera sendiri.
Sedih? Salah satunya mungkin sebab sudah terbiasa dengan keadaan dan suasana di sini. Membayangkan kehidupan selepas ini tanpa tram, dan train untuk bergerak ke mana-mana sudah cukup untuk membuatkan aku berat hati untuk meninggalkan negara ini. Membayangkan kelas dan assignment yang akan bertimbun-timbun bila kembali ke UTP, membayangkan bila tamat belajar, macam manalah suasana kerja di Malaysia, aku begitu resah. Aku rasa kerja di sini sangat menyelesakan, tak ada stress, dan masa kerja sangat fleksibel.
I will miss a lot of things here. Dan bukan semua pengalaman di sini menggembirakan dan menyenangkan hati. Ada juga yang kadang-kadang mengguriskan hati. Ada yang membuatkan aku begitu terasing dan sunyi. Ada yang membuatkan aku emo. Tapi begitulah hidup, kan? Tak indah jika semuanya indah. :D
