Dengusan Hati Sewaktu Gerimis Senja
Sudah 17 hari aku bertungkus-lumus untuk Praktikal Industri aku yang wajib dilaksanakan. Secara jujurnya, memang penat tapi bukan lelah badan, cuma otak yang 'penat' (haha). Rasanya, sudah biasa sekarang . Tiap-tiap hari 9am-5pm, sudah menjadi lumrah hidupku buat masa kini . Peliknya cuma satu. Terasa rindu pula kat MMU (haha....entah le ).
(refleksi) Saban hari, aku sering memikirkan hal terdahulu. Pernah aku terdengar satu frasa yang berbunyi "Biar masa padamkan segalanya yang mengganggu fikiranmu" . Pada masa itu, aku terasa pelik dan tidak faham akannya. Aku ragu. Namun, kini aku mulai faham apa yang dimaksudkan dengan frasa tersebut. Memang benar jika masa dibenarkan untuk berlalu, segala yang pahit akan mulai pudar. Begitulah pengalamanku pada satu ketika dulu bila aku kehilangan sesuatu pegangan yang amatku hargai. Terasa amat pilu ketika itu; namun kini, perasaan tersebut tidaklah sekuat dahulu lagi . Aku masih terkenang sekali-sekala, cuma tidak lagi terpengaruh olehnya. Aku tetap boleh merasa impaknya yang kuat terhadap personaliti diriku . Haha . Demikianlah suatu cetera yang jarang diutarakan oleh aku.
(nyata) Haiz .... tidak sabar aku menunggu ketibaan trimester kedua 09/10 untuk aku pulang ke MMU . Sekian.

My first week of Internship
Well, each day for d past 5 days, i woke up later & later (at first 6am...then 6.15am,6.45am,7.15am & today haha.....7.50am) ... getting 'accustomed' d i guessed.
But getting up early each day was kinda usual d, juz that i'll b quite hungry (oh well, gotta eat well coz i deal wit numbers ...so muz focus). Day after day, i browse thru' accounts. My employer is a seasoned auditor (i juz found out her dad is a better accountant ....walao ...it runs in her family). I'm grateful to be under her tutorship. Hope can learn much from her.
Here's wat i did for d past few days :
a) checking & typing using Excel functions for statement of capital allowance, tax computation, balance sheet & also Trading,profit and loss statements
b) learn taxation terms
c) getting used to d format for preparing tax papers
d) getting used to LHDN forms (so lucky supervisor can teach me)
e) using UBS software to record cash purchases
f) labelling past records of transactions
I'm getting used to these tasks as fast as I can as I can feel that more is coming my way based on the stacking files in office. Haha ...
For d past 5 days, I've been to 5 different shops to makan.....wonder where i will go on Monday next week .....(any suggestions, guys ?)
Its kinda nice to know that many of my frenz in IT too have been making positive progress in terms of learning new things. I do hope v could all share what we learn in TRIM 2 ...till then, do keep in touch everyone ....gambateh all ....cya

Days After Exam (Few days b4 Delta 09/10 )
Oh yes, it started off wit me and my fren going out 2 get some ticket coupons 4 car park (so anxiously preparing 4 my industrial training ....really dunno wat its like ....so suspens). It caused me big bucks (imagine RM 84 for a month) hmmm.
Next , we had tea wit 2 of our mates at Red Island Cafe (i hope i got it right). A steady chit-chat till 4.10pm b4 one of my fren had 2 clear up his stuffs 2 head back 2 hometown.
At night, wit another group of frenz, I enjoyed a bizzarre experience of consuming steamboat. I dunno how 2 describe that but its juz weird. D steamboat was naturally ok in terms of its chicken soup and its fresh prawn but lack the atmosphere 4 an enjoyable meal. Guessed it was to stuffy and hot. Anyway, i enjoyed that meal as it was d first time i hang out with this group of frenz.
Later on, wit lots energy in us, we decided 2 belt out songs via the favourite spot of entertainment of MMU students (i guessed its too common 2 b mentioned). I was impressed really by the vocals of my frenz (really.. they were good...haha). Though i was lost at words when it came 2 chinese songs, but i enjoyed listening to them and treated them like a series of short dramas instead...haha....
D next day was rather enjoyable. Had 'dim sum' (dumplings) 4 breakfast wit 3 of my mates. For d first time, I gotta admit its nice (probably was too hungry d). We chit-chatted 4 about an hour over some chinese tea.
There was a lot of exchanges of experience & we had our share of laughs.
Well, d pinnacle of my strings of fun was a movie sreening of 'Terminator Salvation' which tells of a tale where the brains of the machine clashes wit d wits of humanity (d best among all the Terminator movies i'd watched). It was a nice experience (pssstt...first time i watch at MBO....) hahaha
I actually wished that days like this can continue daily but i guessed time muz move on huh ....

GAMA trim 3 @ MMU
anyway, jz thought i spend some time to pen my thoughts down .....
>>> can't believed i'd actually completed 2 years of study in MMU (b4 here...i nvr would hav imagine that i would had ended up here ...haha....)... time really passed by so swiftly.... 2 years ago i was so 'fresh and green' but now ...haha ...i'm so absorbed into my life as a student .....(means neglect my sleep .... can tell by my size huh ..haha) ....
well, of all d trims i experienced , indeed so far this was d most testing one....a lot of activities throughout d 14 weeks of study and until now still, i'm feeling d rush (no so much thought atm)...... perhaps, i'm juz 2 anxious bout' my Industrial training soon ....(wonder what it's like) .....
Assignments were a major source of headache as together wit my mates, we quarrelled and discussed incessantly over weeks to come to complete them....
yeah, no doubt we learnt a lot but i had wished that we didn't had to put only angry faces then ......come to think of it now....it seemed rather childish now ...haha
Some time has past since the IBF event (d most challenging one so far i encountered), yet at times i can't help to reminisce it ...though it ate up a very huge bulk of my time then, yet i seemed 2 enjoyed it in a way....i was rather fond of it.....(d strenouos efforts labored into it seemed worthwhile) .... here, i met most of my coursemates better, many whom now become close and dear friends to me .... if not for it, we would not hav bond so close (hugs ....haha....) ....anyway, its an event to be remembered as we would not be having anymore events in d future d.....
As time seemed to flow on, i came 2 realise that life in uni isn't jz about books and lectures ...... (very silly of me huh ....but that's how i used to think) .... yet now with only a year left in uni, i try my best to make d best out of it..... this particular trimester alone, has tested my patience and my friendships 2 a level i nvr thought would be possible...at least not in uni.....yet at times when one angers me, there would be others to console me ..... thank you to these ppl ....
Juz 3 more papers to go ..... I pray and hope all my plans will be successful ....oso looking forward to spend some quality time wit frenz b4 d industrial training season begins .....cya

D event kicked off wit the emcees introducing d the directors of both events to present their speeches ....quite 'emo' (hahaha....vince vince.... ) .... ahem.................
Mr Halim was next in line to deliver his keynote speech on the title of this event (too long 2 write here ....well ....i guessed u guys noe it anyway) .... anyway, shortly after that, d video and drama presentation went on, but shit ....to our dismay, d sunlight was gleaming like blazes (well, u get my point) ...it was too bright to show any projections ...sigh
Oh well, we moved onto d exhibitions ....it was a crowd favourite ....everyone enjoyed it (i hav proof to display that....haha) .... each group had prepared many activities as well as explanation to deliver to the public.... at a time, it looked like it was a market place (so noisy) ....
After that, v moved onto many other things .....replay of videos, etc....v spent our time chit chatting ... chased each other around (haha...luckily no lecturer ....) ..... lol .... after 8pm onwards ...it was fun time to d closing time at around 10pm .... after packing up all the remaining food ...clear this & that ....all of us went home at around 10.30pm ....was really tired that day .....
Day 2 :
Due to d PA system being dismantled after d first day, many members resorted to getting their very own sound system via speakers + laptops ....walao (like this oso can) .....
D 2nd day was a heck of a rush ....i could c temper flaring here & there .... just like geysers all over the place wit steaming vapour gushing high into d air .....luckily everyone acted professionally ....though i received numerous complains bout' ppl not doin' their part; i guessed dis is part & parcel of every event ..... its INSEPARABLE ....... but let's not harp upon this issue anymore.... to those who hav worked hard for this event, u noe who u r ....thx
At around 8.05pm, v had our closing ceremony at d bazaar ......der were numerous dances and singings by MMU's very own music club of sorts ..... thx guys .... cool performance der .....
Later on, our chubby director (IBF) exchange hugs wit d down-to-earth Inv Director after they both had delivered their 'emo' speeches ....oh man ....later on, there were dances on d stage by our 'very excited crew members' .....well, well, well, ....guessed what ....they decided that i was a bouncy ball; thus, up and down i went ....(5x) ...thx ah wei loons (i will always rmb that) ...after that , v cleared all d stuffs in d conference hall, tore down many items v put up, threw garbages away, etc..
Next, was a memorable 'sayounara' ..i could not have pictured a better scene than that day among all d event i attended.....
"V came as individuals (IBF & Investment students) but v left as friends"........that was our biggest achievement despite all d minor setbacks ..... i supposed der was some goodness 2 dis event after all .... most of us got closer 2 knowing each other better ....v had our share of fun (some had fun non-stop ....haha) .... To me, this event will always remind me of how things can go so badly initially and how it can turn around, bringing so much goodness around .... thx guys .......p/s: I will pass my share of photos around ....could those who hav photos that day share around theirs ....thx ...
