Men r not afraid of difficult tasks. Its da unpredictable dat scares them.

Its been a while since I last update my blog because of industrial training n I'm all da while stuck in Klang. In da factory I work, in da office I rest, around da factory I loiter. Before dat, I had doubts about my work, uncertain wat will happen during da 3 months. Wat will become of me? Will I be treated badly? Will I be bored? Will I get scolded frequently for my wrongdoings? All weren’t answered till now. Well, its hard for me 2 describe, then I shall tell u my routine, everything I do everyday.

1^st thing in da morning, a morning call by da uncle living in da same hs as me at 7 in da morning. 2 early 2 be true dat I’m actually getting up dis early for da past 3 weeks. Reach da company at 7.30 and have breakfast in da canteen. At 8, its time for work. Due 2 my special identity in da company, hardly anyone ask me 2 do any job n I’m not quite happy bout dat. I should have asked the HR department 2 keep it a secret. Recently, I felt like I have taken over da executive director’s job by patrolling da factory everyday at 8 because I really have nothing 2 do. After dat, I’ll just loiter around by observing how the other supervisors do their job, repair machines, do wiring and stuff till the supervisor or engineer gives me specific tasks.

Wat I’ve done so far

- Loiter around, visiting every department, observing how they do their work. The HR department was kind enough to give me a white helmet although I’m not really an engineer yet, it actually acts as a license or a pass to enter every single building which general workers are forbid 2 do so.

- Donkey jobs like painting numbers on da trolleys, sealing busbars with silicon gel, helping a co worker to change the conveyor belts which weighs more than 10 kg per belt.

- Curi tulang. Dats wat dap pl there tot me. Sometimes, I’ll walk around the factory as though I have something 2 do but at fact, I do not, and general workers do not interfere with me as by right I should be higher ranking than them, supervisors think I’m da same rank as them, engineers do not want to risk offending the CEO of da company n so practically no one really pressures me.

- Observing da time, keeping tract of da lunch time and off work time as closely as possible. After all, theres a saying, start work while waiting for off work.

- Rest. Others rest by seating on platforms in da working area, but I rest by seating in the air con office of the department

- Bring clients n suppliers into da factory 2 meet da engineers, dat would give me da chance 2 meet with other ppl from da outside world, n also a chance 2 meet with leng lui suppliers, surprisingly, there r.

- Passing n photostating documents 2 da management in da office, giving me chances to keep track of da leng luis in other departments, listening 2 gossips in da factory.

Wat I’ve learnt so far

- Man wat a company, an employee can be on da engineer and manager rank while his job is onli weighing da scrap aluminium everyday just because he has relationship with the directors of da company. Practically when da aluminum scrap arrives, he will not be available most of da time, either he is loitering around, or either he wil be sleeping under da water tank, sheded from da sun. Wat a parasite.

- Language is no longer a barrier for foreign workers from Bangladesh, China, Myanmar, and Vietnam because theres always sign language and da international languages which are Lan ciao, Chee Bye, and da middle finger FUCK sign. Irregardless wat language u speak, these 3 things r essential in da factory in da noisy n hot environment.

- Avoid from bosses. Bosses uses the main entrance, u run away from da back enterance. Da more u avoid from da boss, da less work u need 2 do. Dats wat da general workers r doing.

- Working life is definitely boring. Da entertainment after works r like playing mahjong, drinking beer, smoking, watching TV n sleep, nothing else.

- I miss my study life which I had a more flexible time back den.

After work, bath thoroughly 2 remove da dirt, go for dinner. After dat, watch TV n sleep at 12. Da next day is da same routine. I’ve been living dis life for 3 weeks, n 9 more weeks counting. Details of da working process of da factory will i upload in another blog.

I miss my com, I miss my friends, I miss my life.

Live updates on my life

Tuesday will be my 1st day i will be experiencing da taste of the work force.
PMB or rather Press Metal Berhad will be da company who accepted my application for internship. Countless questions arises, many uncertainties. Man r not afraid of da known but rather afraid of the unknown. Yes, da pay is considered high, but den da workload is also great as compare, so for da next 3 months, i will be very very busy, with onli 1 day off per week. Well, no pain no gain, if u wanna get 2 da top, u've gotto work ur ass off.

Announcement : There r many ways 2 write a blog, some blog on their misery, some use blog as a complain board, some use blog as a warzone for personal affairs. Nope, i will not blog on any of dose, in fact, i despise ppl who do dat. In fact, i've decided 2 blog on my own opinions n my way of viewing life. I dun mean 2 b harsh but to readers of dis blog, its up 2 u 2 accept my opinions n plz dun degrade me. Howabout lack of viewers? Its ok, coz from da start, i didn't blog for audience, rather for the sake of pleasure n hobby.

LAW ???

Sometimes it really makes me wonder if theres really equality in dis world. Some r born rich, some r born ugly, while some r born deformed. If everything is fair, we should be born with da same talents, same status, same looks, y it isn't da case?

Have u ever put in effort but da returns r not as satisfying, often thinking dat u deserve something more than wat u get?

Have u ever loved someone but ur love isn't returned with the same love?

As i study more on law, i start 2 see things differently. Law doesn't balance out preceding equality, nor does it weigh out the unfair parts. Wat i see is dat there isn't such a thing as fairness and equality. Fuck off with law !!! In Malaysia, da law protects da filthy rich and its da same all around da world. Its da amount of money dat counts.

Song listened at dis moment : When you're gone - Avril Lavigne
New things realized : I have a soft spot for beautiful voices.
Recent situation : In da perils of exam.

Perspectives of Life

So everyone wants to a superman. Everyone wants to be good in everything. Everyone wants to be better than others in many fields.
A little of this, u can give it a word, " Motivation". Too much of that, n u get "Kiasuism". I've seen many with the later trait rather than the 1st 1. After all, its a rat race out there .
I always didn't believe that someone can be good in everything. If 1 is good in something, surely, he isn't in others. These r the ones that have great achievements in life irregardless which field.
And there r others which r moderate in everything they do, but have a wide field of knowledge, means he can handle every situation very well but do not excel.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Jack of all trades master of all.

Which 1 do u fit? the 1st one or the later?

Tq TNB

Twice i wanted 2 complete my FYP design drawing n twice i was interrupted by a cut in electricity supply, leaving me clueless in a dark room, grieving n cursing for my unsaved file. Haiz, 3 days 2 gob4 presentation starts, hopefully i can complete the slides by 2day.

PS : Its been a week, but it seems like a year, n I'm still waiting.

Copy, Modify n Paste.

Ppl often ask me, wat did I learn after being in MMU for 4 yrs. My answer? The most important skill of all, the rule of the thumb, the utmost useful skill --- Copy, Modify n Paste.
When i came in during Beta, I always wondered, howcome my lab reports can neva go beyond 6 marks. After some research, finally i found out wat is going on in MMU.
Neva neva underestimate dis skill, coz after so many yrs, it has yet 2 fail me. Assignments, Lab reports, Tutorial answers, even Exams, all can be acomplished with dis skill.
If its a soft copy, we simply forward messages to the whole YM group of " Heng Dai " n u'll get multiple versions of answers, sometimes its really a hassle 2 pick n choose the best answer.
However, if its a hard copy, also can be done with the technology of 2day. Simply just take it 2 da shop 2 photostat or just scan it into the computer and distribute the soft copy.
Below is wat i wanna share with u all 2day, a video taken from http://laozhabor.blogspot.com/ very funny , very creative singaporeans. Sometimes i really wonder if the famous kiasu n kiasi attitude of singaporeans is really that bad after all. At least they r able 2 produce quality products.


Sit back n relax.
I'm off for my 10 hr marathon, hopefully i can make it at the end of the day.
N, plz vote for my poll plz.

Things 2 b done.

Things 2 b done

As a grown up of 22 yrs of age,u'd wished dat u had many things, done many things. I mean, who wouldn't? After been dis world for 22yrs, of course u've done many things, have many things but theres always something dat u wished u had done or wanting to own something dat badly dat u would go all out for it.

Yes, a new handphone, as mine was spoilt ages ago, now currently using a temporary 1. My friends used 2 say, u have been mentioning dat u wanna change ur phone since beta, but den, till now u r still using ur old phone. Often they complain bout my hp being old, heavy, non-coloured screen, non polyphonic, no 3G, no Bluetooth, n da list goes on.

An EOS camera. I endured photography but neva had many chances 2 take pictures, coz firstly, i dun own a camera, 2ndly, i dun have da money for an EOS cam. Many beautiful things, scenery, moments dat i wished 2 capture, save it in my own space, but till now, i've onli managed 2 get my hands on my gf's cam.

My own car. I loved travelling, going places, visiting ppl, which i couldn't do without proper transportation of course. Of course a convertible mini cooper is too much of a car for me, just a normal 1 will do. Something dat can bring me 2 da beach when i feel like it, something da will bring me 2 other places for meals other than da same old thing i eat everyday at bear bear hill, something dat would bring me out on occasions, chillin out, partying.

Music is definitely a big part of my life. Playing in a band is 1 of my dreams, writing songs are 1 of my interests. Some say i write lousy songs, some say dat its an achievement for my 1st song to be choosen out of 40 songs for da concert. As i see, i'm still a beginner, lots 2 learn, lots 2 try, give me time n i'll show u wat i can do.

Experiencing winter in a cottage in hokkaido r one of my dreams. As da sun casts its shine onto the pure white snow on the ground and the clouds, blotting da sun, forming irregular patches on the ground, adding patterns to it, yet another mother nature's painting is formed.

Well, u can't be satisfy with everything in life don't u. Hope when time comes, i'll have both da money n time to do wat i like.

So long n good nite.

MERDEKA !!!

MERDEKA!!!

I've been in MMU for 4 yrs n every yr we celebrate MERDEKA da same old fashion way, either Pure Bar or Yum Cha at VJN.
However dis yr, we had a spontaneous kind of celebration. <<>>
At 1st it was Liang Boon n I who decided 2 go MITC, den we were joined by Alvin. 3 of us went 2 MITC in 2 motor bikes n da Flag i took from a tree in
Kerjasama by riping it off its ropes. Jam was terrible along da way with police bikes along da road 2 MITC, luckily we were on bikes so da jam was nothing 2 us.

With 2 handsome fellas, a motorbike, n a Malaysia flag, dis is wat u get.

2 eng tau kia, a Harley Davidson police bike, n a stolen flag, n u'll get dis.

Best pic taken in dis Merdeka.

Yep, dats me in front of patrick's hs, all set n good 2 go.

















Pic with MMU lec after we help him get his keys outta his car which he accidentally locked it in.

Gathering b4 setting off 2 lap motor.

Liang Boon n I doin da Lion Dance style, but as u can see, we failed.

Da gals, Yun Hui looks so cute in dat helmet. U should see how she clings 2 Alvin's motor, its like as though she is riding da ride of her life in da roller coaster in Final Destination.

And at last, da gp photo of our spontaneous MERDEKA trip, after all da shouting n cheering Merdeka visiting friends, shouting their names as we pass by their houses, with liang boon singing Merdeka song on da road, I swear 2 god its like a cat who got it's tail stuck in da door, or maybe worse. Its da 1st time i'm doing dis, since no one recognizes me with my helmet on, so y not feel like a Mat Rempit for once n put ourselves in their shoes. Suffice 2 say, it was fun.

MERDEKA trip around Bear Bear Hill. Success !!!

Beijing Olympics 2008

Beijing Olympics 2008

With 356 days n counting, Beijing is already in high spirits and they can't wait till dat day arrives, where they get to host the Olympic games for the 1st time in history.

Well, CNN quoted it to be the most expensive games ever.

http://edition.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/east/07/12/beijing.olympics.post/index.html

Then lets see a few of these stadiums built just for this event.

Well, for dis event, China has put in a lot of effort in promoting a green environment. It has spend billions beautifying n cleaning its' cities and it has also banned 1.3 million cars for emmitting black smoke.

Even when i went 2 China for a vacation on 2001, China has already started cleaning its cities with a great difference from the China we once known.

While i was browsing back the favourite videos i saved in youtube website, i came across dis video which i particularly loved very much.

LG Shine - This is 'Shine' Moment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Px_TNRNo3UE

The music, da plot, da characters, da flow, da everything about this advertisement is nice. It is actually an advertisement by LG to promote their phone, LG shine KE970, which till now, I still think its the best n perfect phone for a gal with its mirror surface when the lights at da lcd screen is off n its sleek design.



N for dose who wants da better quality video of dat advertyisment clip, feel free 2 get it from me. I have da full version, english version n high quality version.

PS : Pay attention 2 da verse " Memory, Love, Friendship, Passion, Hope and Dream. They make ur life shine."

Gals Out Loud

Girls Out Loud

This is my current favourite Singapore reality Tv show. Hosted by Sg's top blogger Wendy aka xiaxue with her blog, http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/ and Rosalyn, Sg's radio station DJ. This reality show covers all Singapore's daily issues from dating to kiasuism, to beauty tips, to dancing, bla bla ....... definitely a 5 star rating from me. Except for the bits of singlish xiaxue speaks, not 2 say i dislike her or theres some bias about it, everything about the show is hilarious and realistic, its like filming Singapore's society in a half an hour show.

Heres the website for the streaming clips. http://clicknetwork.tv/watch.aspx?c=1&p=2&v=22
Watch it, and u'll not regret, u will, if u don't.












Enjoy, guys n gals.

Da left 1

Xiaxue aka Wendy Cheng, da top Sg blogger, compatible to our Kenny sia. So of course wat she posts on her blog proves to create a turmoil.

Next, Steven Lim

Still need a dictionary?

Well, in short, dis fella gained fame when he participated in da Sg Idol and stripped while singing "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin. Which now claims 2 be a street eyebrow shapper and a part time model.

Da point is...

I just can't stop laughing at these 2 fellas having a saliva war over something so petty. I'm not sure either they r acting this out of publicity means or its just plain war. But either way, the war really entertains, especially seeing 2 childish fellas commenting on each other's outlook, personality, and the other party retaliates with a video clip of almost 8 minutes. 1 calling the other a pervert, n da other retalliates by calling her a chicken pie, n bla bla...

Here, have a look for urself http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/, http://www.stevenlim.net/

and this is da reality TV show xiaxue is talking about, http://clicknetwork.tv/watch.aspx?c=1&p=2&v=27 just click da youtube link, 1st 1 is bout chelestiar (a dork who is an author for a book bout love and chose da name Chelestiar just because he likes Chelsea n thinks Belestiar is a cool name) dating ros n da 2nd 1 is xiaxue dating steven.

Enjoy guys.

Short talk : Wat a dull world without "entertainment".

Ma Name

My name is Nicholas, my name is also Hiew Wai Leong. Ppl often call me by da name Nicholas or Wai Leong. However, there r also individuals who call me by my whole name, Hiew Wai Leong, well, its ok, after all its just a name.

Once in lab, my lecturer asked me : " R u Nicholas or r u Hiew Wai Leong?"
And wat came from me was, : " Both"
Man, wat an answer, da lec must have tot dat it was ridiculously lame.

Ppl often wonder if i'm just being fancy, or stuff copying some superstar's name or so. I would like 2 tell da world, absolutely not. If i were 2 do so, i would have called myself Rain, Moon, Sky, or some other ridiculous names like Jummy, Tamey, Roncious, etc. Da truth is, Nicholas was my name since birth, from da min i opened my eyes n cried 2 da world. In kindagarden, primary school, sec school, college, uni, till now.

Well, as da 1st blog, let me show u wat do I do everyday.
