Today, is a day to remember. A day when I said many thank you's and many good byes. This day is the day when I completed my internship training at Agilent Penang. It has been a totally wonderful eight months in Penang.
There's so much more that I want to say, but I really need to get my packing done. Good bye Penang... I will miss you much, so I definitely will be back for more!
Penang...
I will definitely miss you...
I will miss you for the way you make me feel.
I will miss the fun places like QBM, Perangin, Gurney, Auto City...
I will miss looking at you who is so familiar yet always seem so new.
I will miss you for the way even the simplest food that you cook up seem so special.
This is my last week here in Penang. Now I wish that it will not end so soon. Going back to UTP, I will miss all the wonderful delicious food in Penang!!! Arrrgh!! It's just two hours away.. but.. it's still FAR... Penang hawkers... they are the best weh... I don't even miss food from my hometown... *sob*
It's the end of my internship! No more going to work from 8 am to 5 pm... No more writing programs, no more meeting with people just to have a 30 minute discussion about one issue, no more sneaking out of the office early, no more going out for lunch in all the wonderful eating places in Penang and even getting bored with the wonderful food.... Aaaaa.. I will miss the food here the most!
Going back to studying, is not going to be easy. I just hope that things will really get better in UTP. I hope that it will not be the same as the precious semesters... A better final year in UTP!
The air in Penang is different today. The air is damp, the clouds hover over the skies, blocking away the sun. I guess this is how Europe is like. Always gray. The air is cool, and extra cold in the office today.
I did something really stupid today. I was working on my project, and I added a new chunk of code that retrieves data from a database, and somehow, I messed up everything. The whole project interface can't be edited anymore in design mode anymore. (Forgive me for all the technical stuff.. if you don't understand, just think of it as a white board that you can draw things, but now, the white board had been blocked, and you can't change anything anymore) The solution was to start all over again, but well, good thing this happened much earlier before I added a whole lot more functionality to the application.
Well, who to blame? The compiler for not warning me about the warning before compiling and saving, or me who made the mistake? Well, I would choose not to blame myself. :p
Anyway, I have made a copy of the project and I am reminding myself to do it everyday. =) Just incase I do make another mistake like that, I can just revert to the last editing that I made. The most time I would lose will be 1 day instead of losing weeks or months of work!
The rain has been pouring the whole day today. It's such a nice weather to sleep in. I hope tomorrow will be the same. Cool and cloudy, and gray cause that's how I feel at the moment. Well better still, a chilly day in Malaysia~! But I guess when that day comes, the world weather is so seriously messed up~
* * * *
Sometimes I feel that there's no meaning to all that I'm doing. Feel like the things that I do have no substance. No form, no "solid" matter. Anyone felt that way before, or is it just me thinking too much or too little? Pretty messed in the head I think. =S
I need some professional help I think.. xD
OK.. enough crapping.. Should start seeking direction from Father.
Father, grant me Your grace, grant me some strength, breathe into me again.
Jubilee year celebration for Malaysia.
I must say I'm proud to be a Malaysian. I'm sure there are some of you out there who think otherwise, and that Malaysia is not good enough, but I feel, Malaysia is indeed a blessed land.
What more can I say? This is where I'm born, I believe that this land is a land of destiny if we are to answer our calls. Amen?
Well, what I did for tonight was:
1. Ate Mc D for dinner
2. DOTA at home
3. Blog (doing now)
4. Pack up ( for tmr la)
Hehe...
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Today ho, Spoke to the girl sitting beside me after what felt like a long time we had this silence between us. Don't know why, but the past few days, ... maybe weeks, we didn't talk. Then today, I just plucked up my courage and offered her some "Wrigley's Eclipse mints" hehe.. So got talk a bit lor.. Feel so weird like sit beside each other but never talk. Lolxx.. The boys school syndrome.. hahaha...
Well, don't know what to do now, maybe I should do more dotaing.. hehe.. Or sleep.. lalala...
Ok ler... better start packing, and sleeping soon.. Leaving early tmr...
Happy Birthday Malaysia!
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Today seems to be a gloomy day.. Woke up at 6.15... then snooze n snooze till 6.28... Still felt a little heavy in my head.. didn't feel like getting up at all, but it's MONDAY... so got up... Shower and all and was down at the condominium entrance just when Ben reached. Got into the car, and here I am in office. At 8 am, the engineer came to my table to see if I could find a solution to the problem last week. I just don't understand how come some of the things in here are so not uniform. Like the production line next to each other can have different label requirements... It's kind of frustrating because this side wants so so so much while another side is happy with the system already.
Sometimes, I wish that all I'm doing is just some office paperwork.
Now have to swap PC for people.. huhu... k lar.. got things to do.. atleast now I know that the project is COMPLETE! haha.. I think so lar.. just the setup, and final testing.. Pray to God that everything will be okay. =)
Today is Thrusday! Yesterday was piggy Wednesday! hehe...
Well, I've added something new to my blog again... it's the Cloud Links you see on the sidebar there.. nice rite? =D Thanks to a friend who taught me how to go about it by showing me the link ler.. =) Thanks!
Anyways, today here at work, I'm kinda bored... Got nothing much to do, and I'm thinking of starting the second project earlier, but then again, I have this weekly report to write, so I guess I'll finish up this report first.
If you want to know how internship is like.. well, for me... the first few weeks was super exciting, learning new things, knowing new people, and getting new assignments... that you will work on and it will somehow contribute to producing money or aid in the process of wealth creation.. hehe... Sounds like BIG BIG BIG responsibility rite? Well, it gets boring after week 5... Things begin to be familiar, you will find that work is actually BORING and you just wish that you can break the norm like go and play badminton, or run the track, or just go shopping in IPOH! But noooo.. u cant.. work is work.. 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week, 2 days on the weekends to "chill out" doing nothing basically cause by the time weekend comes, you'd be too lazy to do anything else but sleep.. hahah..
Just pray that yours will be different and super exciting all the way ler.. ehehe... oh ya.. actually ho... Agilent is a very good place to do your internship. You get to learn things, and you also get very little pressure n stress.. ehehe..
By the way, I'm going back to Kuching this September.. Not because it's my bday la... haha. but anyways, u guys can prepare presents for me. hehehe.. Will write in another post...
Whoa! This is early! Everyday since last Tuesday, I have been getting up at 6 am, and reached the office at around 7 am! Wooh... I got to say, I'm really hardworking! haha... Everyday I go back from my office at around 6.30 pm and that means that I'm in the office for more or less 12 hours everyday! *don't I deserve a pay raise? haha...* Just and intern and I'm working so hard.
So, a little bit about this wonderful company that I'm in. Well, for those who do not know yet, I'm doing my internship with a very prestigious company called Agilent in the most wonderful place in Malaysia after Kuching; Penang. I'm in the Quality Control - Electronic Measurement Group. My supervisor is Mr, Asyraf Tan, a very wonderful SP I must say. He trust me with so much freedom to do whatever I want as long as I get the job done. Hehehe.. Anyways, today will have a department meeting, so will see how things go.
Currently I'm working on a project where I'm debugging another person's work, and so far, I am quite pleased with what I have done because I feel that I have made the program much more usable, and more logical. *a little self praise once a while ler.. :p *
Ok ler, pass 8 am ady, better start to do some work. More updates coming! I'm going to be able to update a bit more ler, since I have Streamyx in the condo ady. Weeee.. *Missing me? Look for me on MSN or yahoo!Messenger or skype or GTalk... All also got.. haha.. *
I can't remember when i fall in love with Penang. Its a small island off the coast of Kedah, with the world's craziest, most notorious drivers I've ever seen, but I just love it. I've been there 4 times so far for vacation, and the food there is amazing. Never failing to satisfy my taste buds. Always able to find food that I cannot find anywhere else in Malaysia, except for the lovely Sarawak Laksa and "Mee Kolok".
Next month (June 4) I'm going to report to work at Agilent Technologies Malaysia in Penang Bayan Lepas industrial Zone. Woohoo!! I want to thank all those who prayed for me, even Pastor Ryan, and I believe that my parents were also praying for me. Really praise God that I got this company. God is indeed going to do something great in Malaysia and I believe that I'm going to be a part of it, as long as I do my part. Just so excited when I think of it, being a part of God's huge plan for Malaysia. Don't matter what it is, even a small thing, I'd be glad to be a part of it.
Just want to share with u guys, that God has been speaking into my life, and He has been encouraging me to move forward, to take leaps of faith, to get up and start running, to start going faster maybe because time is running out, but God is not letting me go yet. He will never let me go. No matter how far I run, He will still catch up with me, and bring me back. "Thank u God, for never letting me go, for never forsaking me". Do keep me in prayer, sometimes, i feel lost, I don't know where to go, what to do, and sometimes, i struggle with just picking up my bible and reading it during my quiet time. Still, God is good, for though I have been so tough He has been ever gracious.
I'm having my finals next week. This semester, I feel so lagging behind, with regards to studies, I've never felt so stupid since form 2. I feel that I have left God out of my studies life, and I am struggling now. God brought me in here, I believe that He will take me out successfully too. I just have to trust Him, and do my part. Time flew really quickly, it's like suddenly I wake up to find that my exams are in 1 week. There's no point regretting the things that I have done, I have to move on, pick up from where i left, and do my best.

Miss Cheryl (sorry won't be able to be there 4 ur bday), miss Charles (when r u coming back?), miss Pastor Cheli (hope to see you during Christmas at least). miss all the guys in Bethany (how is everything going?).
