METC Exposure


In a short period of 1 month , I have studied in this building . The small extension on the left of the building is the Cafe 147 which we have our meals here . I study from 8 in the morning till 5 p.m. All the time before our class, we will have a roll-call in front of the building . That’s what we do in weekdays.


This is the attendance list of our class 5. Do you see my name?


On the left is Timonthy , I am in the middle.


Over looking from the window in our classroom is the hangers of DCA and Island Air by YTL Holdings.

Everything .....BUT

Stream flow like a river,
Difference is in its speed,
Humans vary in terms of skin colour,
BUT, Authorities determine who is the boss.

Apples fall off to the ground,
Proves earth has a force called gravity,
Fell off from motorbike doesn't prove anything,
BUT, Foolishness.

Hidden treasures are meant to be found,
Everybody loves to own the valuable treasures,
All of us love to dream,
BUT,are we getting what we want in our dreams?

Game over in computer games mean start from Level 1,
Enjoy process of failing and success before conquer the rest,
In reality,none of us want to start from scratch ,
BUT, For our future we have to say ' YES '.

Free Round Penang Island and mainland with Rapid



I have taken this booklet on the first day Rapid Penang hit the road. They gave out this booklet to everyone on the bus and also to the public at bus station. I was lucky to get this booklet on the first day to guide me through the journey to round the Penang state without transport fees.



11.09 a.m. 02.08.2007
I was waiting for the bus U401 to begin my journey . This bus is from Weld Quay bus hub to Balik Pulau bus hub . The bus was packed . This is the larger version of Rapid Penang with more intricate manoeuvre system.




Everyone was packing the bus and everyone including the senior citizens and the handicapped people have the chance to board the bus.



11.54 a.m. 02.08.2007
This is the new bus terminal for Balik Pulau. The journey was a bumpy ride because the road is being repair and expansion of the road is in progress.



As i walked passed , there is a school on my left.



12.30 p.m. 02.07.2007
Em.... Nice isn't it. This is the famous Laksa of Balik Pulau.Before this, i ate a bowl of Wanton noodles.I ate it before continue my journey .



This is the Laksa stall which i ordered from. The old Balik Pulau Market is going to be evicted to the new one next to the new bus terminal.



1.23 p.m. 02.07.2007
This the small bus T501 which brought us from Balik Pulau to Teluk Bahang . The journey took around half an hour.




We were stucked with another 2 Rapid buses (another bus is not in this picture)on the opposite direction .So our bus had to reverse .




Do u see the coastline at the far end?



2.07 p.m. 02.07.2007
This is the Teluk Bahang Dam. Annual event like the dragon boat race organized in this venue.




3.36p.m. 02.07.2007
I took the bus U101 from Teluk Bahang to Weld Quay . While sitting in the bus, I noticed the MPPP employees were busy labelling the Rapid signboard .



3.45 p.m. 02.07.2007
I have reached the Weld Quay bus terminal.The buses were systematically drop and pick the passengers.



All walks of life are trying out the free service given by Rapid Penang.



5.12 p.m. 02.07.2007
Reached Megamall bus terminal with sleepy eyes because i slept all the way from Weld Quay to Megamall which is on the mainland via Penang Bridge.



MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
This is my the journey i have travelled ,round the Penang Island to Butterworth and came back home .

Thanks Rapid !

Changing path ( Jealousy emphasized)

As the title suggested , it may means anything from transformation to a small rectification . As for my meaning here is that ,i am a biology inclined student changing to become one of the physic students. This happened in just mere ONE month from submitting my application to getting the good news . I received the email saying that there was an intake of Aircraft Maintenance Engineer . I said why not give it a try . I just finished my work as a sales person for a shoe fair and i was waiting for my time to go back to my institution for some preparation work on Food Carnival. I didn't expect the project was postponed And this gave me ample time getting prepared. I found all the details from the organisation chart to the components of aircraftfor the interview. I spent most of my time surfing the net for the information . The most helpful part of all is the interviewing part . I got most of the benefits from speaking skills learnt from interview session techniques online.

I can't believe my eyes when i realized that i just obtain the offer . I was surprised and then i felt like i am at the top of the world. I also experienced some disturbance during my bedtime for all the excitement going around. Now i also experienced from some disturbance.

Enviness experienced by most of the people after hearing my news , shows that people are vulnerable to avoid such feeling. My friends also shows that to me when i told them.
After getting the agreement letter from MAS after the briefing session , 2 guarantors are needed to prevent us from escaping the laws and regulations . If i break the contract during the course duration of 5 years ,i have to pay RM 140K . I have asked one of my aunties' son to become the guarantor and before anything . That aunty of mine uttered some sarcastic words and with the expression on her face make my self esteem suffered . She warned us if anything happens she will not pay for that (This is too hurting to say it out and it is understood i knew that i won't bring any trouble to her as this agreement to me represent just signature). She repeated the words again for many times ,but not her son (my cousin).She also spoke to us about her son who failed to get any scholarships and because to secure her son's future , he is taking the cert. of car repair even if he is still an engineer in INTEL . Bla bla bla The hardship he went through.
But then again this is all about jealousy , by getting something you have to be ready for with any bombardments which will let your heart ached.

This is all about life.

Review of Mid 2007

Starting my new life

As a pessimistic thinker from the recent past , to a person full of confidence and willing to fight for my future . These big changes has played a significant role in my life as i would say thanks to become one of the scholarship recipients from a 5 star rating airline company in Malaysia. This is my turning point of my life . I would like to thank my all those people surrounded me during the interview and also after the good news.

I obtained the most inspiration to get me participated in this application of this scholarship came from my recent past-away grandfather. Although in his real life ,he hardly make any close or intimate contact as a grandparents would do with me. He was just an ordinary person and i get the most inspiration from him is because i really respect his courage to fight the disease he had before breathing his last breath without even hissing a word of his pain.

The last time i saw him was during chinese new year 2007 in a private hospital . He came in and out of the hospital many times . But we as the younger generation (grandson) had to respect his wishes to be transferred from his hometown hospital to private hospital in Penang. He said he trusted the services over here and comfortable staying in while received the treatment.

Just after midnight of Pai Thean Kong , he was knocked out because he had complained about breathing difficulty . He went straight to the Govern. hospital. After a few days of observation , he requested to be transfered to the private hospital in Penang. With the life support system ,he was unable to sit on a normal car to arrive at the destination,instead an ambulans was called to make the transfer process can went on smoothly .

2 weeks after he stayed in the hospital ,he was gone. The night before ,he was sitting upwards reading newspaper as my mother advised him not to stay up late . And that was the last time my mother ever spoke to him.

As for me , I spoke to him right before i went back to my study position in Sabah during February 2007. I was not able to pay my last respect as i had a mid term exam that day . This is what make me most regretful about . But i had paid my respect to him , after i came back from my annual semester break .

he gave me a lot not something to do with material stuffs but he gave me more than i could possibly imagine.

Just a mere 6 months / half a year of 2007 , major changes happened in my life .

Comic strip



Haha this a a small programme which i used to create a comic strips artwork . I think i have made it in an interesting way of expressing my thought. Isn't it nice to convey my message in this way?
