Our Future

I can't be more agree with all the videos below. Somehow or rather I will have to face this...

I wish to dedicate the videos to all fellows CCC. This is just our destiny...C-U-B-E!

If labour is that difficult, then it is worse with all the public conflict

If you think giving birth is that difficult, then it is worse for him...I truly salute him for his courage to love and his affection. I am not sure if I can accept him as he is but I will try...

DrM speaks up on Rulers and politicians

As a concerned citizen, this is surely a must read and must be an article to be aware of.

A leap on my FYP

It is such a relieve today....Finally after weeks of self quarantine in the lab...the major part of my project is done.

I have finished programmed my microcontroller as well as the controlling unit...So now I have a choice to either continue to improve the project with graphical interface or just end there. I actually have done part of the graphical but now I am kind of lazy and tired of the project...7 days a week...and so many weeks continuously...I am fed up with myself...feels like I have no life!

Anyway I have set a timeline for myself...I will continue on my FYP till end of April 10th. and that's it...after all no big deal anymore...already get a job more....haha :D

yeah yeah yeah.......

My next outing to V-I-E-T-N-A-M

Yes...I have my next holiday plan out ready.

Thou I am in the mid of rushing through all my assignments and my final year project, I still managed to lay my plan.

I will be heading to Ho Chin Minh on the very day I finish my final final exam. I am flying off on the 21st and will be back on 25th April. This is going to the shortest holiday abroad. And considering the flying time, we are actually on a 4 day trip only. Just nice for a breakaway after the tensed exam and before my final year project presentation...

We have booked our flights and accommodation there. This is surely gonna be a memorable trip with lots and lots of photos into my collection...and I can't wait to taste their famous coffee...and the

Anyway if anyone is still interested to join us, please let me know...best if you have a companion...easier to move about in pairs...



Hope that I will get recharged to face my challenging future in the working society!



How nice it is if I can have a longer holiday here to visit the hill tribe...

Bukit Tabur

sigh....my leg is really aching even though the hike was 2 days ago.

Last Thursday, I went hiking at Bukit Tabur with my big bro and his colleagues. After my Kinabalu hike, I have been inactive for many months with all my tight schedule. I tend to take things easy. The length and altitude was nothing comparable to Kinabalu but it was still tough. I have always thought that no other spot is worse than Mt. Kinabalu but honestly this place is more physically demanding. Kinabalu is tough because of the length...

But Bkt Tabur was different. It is located in Selangor. Height of less than 1000 meters, is a quartz/limestone combination formation. The Gombak Forest Reserve and Klang Gates Dam are beside the hill. Hence the peak offers spectacular view of the dam.

Bukit Tabur is terrible and scary...you need all your legs and arms...you have to climb almost or near to 90 degrees lime stone and worse is there are cliffs here and there. If you missed one step then that may be the end for you. So with no proper gear or safe line available, it was truly scary. You have to climb like a spiderman. So now both my thighs and arms are aching and bruises and scratches here and there.

This was taken by my brother from the next peak

I am the spiderwoman in white...see how steep it is!

one way passageway...got to be patient

Truly 90 degree...even with the rope there, it was scary

I believe that I don't have to describe a lot about how wonderful this place is with all the photos.

from www.andylim.com

trust me...this is place that worth going but remember to ask your friend along...not advisable for solo.

Intel vs Altera vs AIESEC

I am lost now....I have been looking forward to go on an internship by AIESEC but due to the earlier delay, so I have yet to secure any confirmation....many approaches but nothing seemed promising and to my preference...and when the date I set for @ was over, I have to go out and hunt for job...

I didn't not place much hope in getting a job here but now...I have got...and 2 at once...both are tycoon.

Now with that 2 offers from Intel and Altera, I don't know which to choose...Intel and Altera are all about my career while AIESEC is all about experience and live life to the fullness.

I guess, my career comes 1st...but it seems harder for me than my friends as I got permanent employment offer from both. and both as software engineer. And in terms of basic, it is only a small diff on 100++. And both also have confirmed bonus...altera--> 2 months and intel 1 and half. I have heard that increment in intel is better at most of the time but with higher retrenchment rate too...as for other benefits like share and etc, both org have their own package and both seem promising.

I really hope that someone can enlighten me on this....do drop me a msg if you have any insight about these 2 org...

Is NEP an issue here?

NEP has made the headlight for these past few days. Beginning from the statement from the Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng that he would run the state administration free of the New Economic Policy (NEP).

I am truly uncertain about NEP. As I could recall from my past understanding on NEP, NEP has quote nothing on race. It is a policy for rakyat...especially to assist the poor. So if we are to do without NEP, then why are there racial sentiment in it? Is that really such a thing where this policy is custom made for our Malay friends?...if it is not then why do we have this headline "Lawyer lodge report against Penang CM"

“I would like to ask the DAP which community has been made poorer because of the NEP.” said our PM. So I believe with this, obviously if our CM is to run Penang free from NEP, it is not an issue too...for nothing racial and personal here.

Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz has said "The election results signal the beginning of the possible demise of the New Economic Policy (NEP) and special rights for the Malays ....The Malays are saying ‘you can’t scare us by talking about us losing our rights, because we are here on our own merit’.” Nazri said it looked like some Malays felt that the NEP was unfair, and questioned why special rights should be given to the Malays.

So if that is what some of our Malay friends felt like. Then what wrong that Guan Eng has committed to be put up against of? And out of all, I could not understand our UMNO Penang's stand. Our PM has given assurance to Penangites that he will continue to support Penang where else UMNO Penang has made such a stand, "Call to scrap mega project".

I have all my full support and faith to our state government and central government. I believe in Badawi's leadership and Guan Eng's leadership!

Post-election in Malaysia

I wish to share this article with all my fellow readers...from the ruling heart...

Malaysia will heal her divisions

By DATUK SERI ABDULLAH AHMAD BADAWI

WHILE I am honoured to have been re-elected as Prime Minister of Malaysia and to have received a 63% majority of the 222 seats in Parliament in our just-completed general election, I am also disappointed that we fell a few seats short of the two-thirds majority we were hoping for.

For those who have in the past questioned the legitimacy of Malaysia’s electoral process, the results of Saturday’s election are positive proof that our country does indeed enjoy a free, fair and highly competitive democracy.

As there has been much speculation about the implications of our election results, I wish to offer clarity on three critically important points:

First, we have heard the voice of our citizens, and I will dedicate myself, in this second term, to healing the divisions which became evident during the campaign. That will mean developing new and concrete initiatives, not just rhetoric, that bring our people together and ensure that no one is left behind as Malaysia prospers, whether they are ethnic Malays, Chinese or Indians.

Second, we can achieve the above goal because our economy is indeed strong and stable, with a 7.3% GDP growth rate in the last quarter, nearly full employment, more than US$100bil in foreign exchange reserves, and a flood of foreign direct investment in manufacturing and services that last year reached a record US$13.7bil.

For the benefit of all of our citizens, I intend Malaysia to remain a business-friendly and free market economy with powerful attractions for international investors who, over the past 12 months, have included General Electric of the United States, Britain’s Virgin Group, and important groups from the Middle East and China.

Third, I intend to protect the stability and security of our nation. For all of our citizens to share in the prosperity and opportunities our economy is generating, we must also continue our work to eradicate crime and corruption.

The people’s desire for law and order is as important in Malaysia as it is everywhere. The same is true of the need to make additional progress in battling corruption, which is both immoral and distorts competition in free markets.

Although the size of our majority would be considered a landslide in most countries, the fact that it has significantly reduced and we have had setbacks in five of our 13 states indicates that we need to do more for those who feel disaffected.

Although some quarters have called for me to step aside, my party has given me solid support to carry on our nation-building agenda, something for which I am grateful.

As with any election in any democratic country, there is debate, sometimes heated; there can be divisions, sometimes fierce; then people make their own choices and democratic politicians have to live with the outcome.

What matters most is that governments listen as well as lead, and so I will work hard to create more of a national consensus following our national democratic conversation.

We are listening. I know there is discontent among some parts of our community. I accept it is our responsibility, as the newly re-elected government of all Malaysians, to find practical solutions to ease that discontent, to listen to grievances and to seek to remedy them.

I have tried throughout my period in office to bring our country and our communities closer together. I have stood in firm opposition to those who have sought to divide us along racial, religious and ethnic lines.

We are all Malaysians and we all must have a stake in building a progressive, united and cohesive country. This has always been my approach to government and politics. It is even more important now.

Some people took the opportunity when voting to voice a protest, as can happen in any democracy. We accept the result. That is what democracy is all about. The election results will not diminish for a moment our determination to grow the Malaysian economy, to continue our successful programme of poverty eradication and to provide a level playing field for all.

After an election it is right to have a period of reflection; it is not a time for narrow introspection. Malaysia cannot afford a period of sitting back and risk stalling our progress and our economic growth.

We are in a changing global economy which itself is in increasingly challenging times. That is why, just as it is essential that we reflect internally on the lessons from these elections, it is vital that we look outward internationally to face and overcome the global challenges of economics, peace and international security.

Malaysia will continue to offer business-friendly policies and a welcoming environment for investors. I believe that Malaysia will continue its strong economic growth in 2008. Our vibrant economy and proven record of economic growth will help us prosper despite the economic slowdown and uncertainty in the United States.

What we must now undertake is to move forward as one nation with a renewed sense of a bright future for all.

This was an opinion article published in the Asian Wall Street Journal on Tuesday.

A Brand New Page on Malaysia History

I was up till 3am today to update on our 12th General Election Result. I believe that many of our twelve hundred thousands passionate new voters like me stayed up late too.

I could not believe the result when I first learned that our famous blogger, Mr Jeff Ooi has been granted the rights to sit in the Parliment. I believe this was an early sign of true democracy in our country...freedom of speech!

Then more positive news for the opposition...wait...should I still named them the opposition...no! I believe it is not very right to name them the opposition, they are just a coalition that oppose those great ideas of the ruling goverment but now that they are the ruling party in Penang, then perhaps we should change...we should call them the goverment and the BN as the opposition.

Besides Penang, our democracy voice has blown and reached out to nationwide. The opposition coalition has claimed victory in Kedah, Perak, Selangor and Kelantan.

As up to 8.28am, the result is as below


Finally congrates to all Malaysian blogger for our Mr Jeff Ooi is heading for the parliament...our 1st blogger in Parliament! And congrates to M Lim Guan Eng for being entrusted as the CM of Penang!


So to all candidates being entrusted in the state assembly or the parliament, I wish them all the best and hope that everyone manage to live up to the expectation of the people!

Am satisfy!

yes...finally there is an interview that I find myself doing the best...the past interviews were horrible...

Thou the interview today with Altera has not promise me anything but I am sure that I have done my best. Hope that Mr Ian is happy with my performance in the interview!

This interview has surely boosted my confidence to face my next session with Intel Penang next Monday. I hope that with my collective experience I would be able to perform better then.

........:-(

But another Q in mind, would I accept the offer if there is one?...I don't know. I would really like to venture out to oversea but at the same time an offer locally seem to be a promising future in the field of my preference....so what now?

Hope that someone can enlighten me on this...

A Night to remember with CCCPro Fellows

This may perhaps be the last CC gathering that I attended with still as an undergraduate. I am really proud and thankful to our 3^rd year junior for such a well done job….

Our Graduation Night will always be remembered.

Our night begins at 7pm in the Berjaya Golf Resort's pool side. Though the weather was rather bad, drizzling a most of the time, but we enjoyed the great plan. We was placed on the cafe ground next to the pool side...so no worries about shelter....hence we were all dry....:D

Besides the ground, everything seems well too. The performances were great. I could not believe that they actually put in so much effort in preparing us this special night. and the games....thou at some point it was rather disgusting, it was still a great plan.

And not to forget to mention here...our special event...'Everyone is King & Queen'...well i know many were not surprised by the title...I have been expecting mine has got something to do with food...like Ms. HoChiak. So I was closed....I got Ms. Food Critic...Actually personally until now, I would still prefer Ms HoChiak...let me go and get another key chain on that.

I could not continue any longer in my half squating position, trying to find some free access point around the neighbourhood...no comfortable chair nor table :-(
