Restart

Well, it has been a week I am back to my beloved Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (Petroleum?!). Attended my very first lecture of Engineering, Economics & Entrepreneurship and lecturer was teaching chapter 4. Engineers in Society lecturer happens to be my former Engineering Team Project supervisor (He gives our group an "A", yay!). Process Plant Design lecturer is superb: a master of Separation Process and Reaction Engineering. Malaysian Studies is exactly (or nearly) similar to SPM History but the class was a little turn-off. A Canadian teaches Corporate Communication, the most unusual lecturer ever.

A total of 5 subjects for my first May Semester in UTP, there is no labs and tutorials this time, only lectures, 2-hour lecture. Mostly are conceptual and theory courses, urgh, I can foresee this semester is going to be a hard one for me as I am not really into reading kind of subject. It's not my cup of tea. Hard and boring. Struggles await. I would prefer struggle solving Maths problem rather than punching myself for not being able to memorise the details in the textbook. Seriously.

Anyway, my third year first semester has finally come to an end when the result was released on Thursday (in which supposed to be Wednesday but UTP Registrar was unable to be efficient enough to deal with the registration, add/drop and result at the same time, so....). It's better than I thought, though. It dropped but I am contented enough lo. For the first time ever that getting a "B" can actually make my day. Haha, I am not joking. Maintain in Dean's List, I have to work harder this semester before leaving for internship. (Waa, interns soon! >.<)

Tomorrow will be the actual commencement of Week 1 of this semester. The new season officially begins. =)

*Last Friday was the craziest day ever! Thank you, DJ! XD

Embracing New Season!

Well, I guess it is not an appropriate term for me to use since I have been skipping lectures for the past 2 weeks (New semester starts on 23rd May. What's the date today again? Oh, it's 3rd June! XD). One week holiday, seriously, after going through lectures for 14 weeks and 2 weeks of exam season, students will definitely be worn out at the end. The worst part is that the result is yet to be released and new semester commences. In the need of proper closure before new semester begins! -.-

On the other note, the new implemented trimester system that my Uni is having makes the time flies a little faster this year. Woots, it's already the month of June. 5 months of 2011 passed by, just like that. Another semester to go and I will be having industrial training (i.e. interning). As much as I am looking forward for this October, this whole interning-stuff always reminds me that I am nearly at the end of studies in UTP (for undergraduate, at least) as final year follows when intership period is over. That's the end of next year. (21 December 2012, the world comes to an end, huh? "Habis lah, tak sempat habiskan study. Apatah lagi konvo?" lol )

The fact that I am already turning 21 is still unbelievable because I don't act like one. Very, very young at heart. Like what they say, you can't stop growing old but growing up is optional. The older you get, most of the things you can easily ignore when you were younger, hardly can be ignored at this phase. Ah well, ignorance is bliss, right? I second that statement with a risk, which is it does not always yield desirable result as you expect it to be. It might worsen due to your own utter ego to let it be and eventually spells disasters. I am speaking in general, though.

January 2011 Semester, in my opinion, didn't really go well as I thought it would be, in the beginning. Going through several emotional turmoils and dilemma till mid-semester. There were things I did those I regretted and learned that how much I have hurt people without the intention to do so. I did things with good intentions but I guess the implementations were poorly conducted or worst, the wrong method. In the end, I was the one who did most mistakes (I felt sorry for doing them) and yet, I was still the one who were being hurt the most. It's a lonely feeling when you are feeling so fragile and defenseless. Low point in life, it's inevitable.

Nevertheless, things turn out to be getting better towards the end of the semester, which is something I don't really expect them to be. It's a good thing, I presume. Despite of the loneliness that I had once in a while, I can only feel contented for what I have, instead of feeling down for things that I have not. Gotta find the meaning of life to move on. If there is nothing to look forward to in life, then what's the point of living? =)

Oh well, enough ranting. I am returning to my campus tomorrow. Hope that I can cope with the studies that I have left behind for 2 weeks and plus, I am taking 5 subjects. That's a lot of classes that I have missed! >.<

Before I ended this post, let's recap some of my favourite moments for previous semester:

Celebrated Chinese New Year in KL with my brother. Get to meet new friends.

In front of pavilion.

Visited Wai Choong's house, the only house I visited this year. To add, I am the first UTPian to visit his house for CNY. lol

My last event in UTP of being a part of organising committee: 6th Malaysian Chem-E-Car Competition

Me with my committees. Ceremony and Protocol Department

Celebrated 21st Birthday with my twin!

Mu'ez and me!

The best birthday celebration in UTP ever. Well, not totally in UTP. The day started on the dance floor and followed by treated lunch and few games of bowling. The final agenda (I thought it was) was celebration at Pizza Hut, Batu Gajah, in conjunction with Chem-E-Car appreciation. To end the day, both of us were splashed with F&N Grape drink. Lol, the chain of events of that day still remains vividly in my memory. :)

Last but not least, I went back to my long house for Gawai after didn't make it for the previous years. The flight on 22nd May was worth to be missed. lol

Me with my dear long house (not really long though, only 7 rooms).

Selamat ari gawai ngagai kaban belayan bak serta dunya! Gayu guru gerai nyamai. Oo.... ha!

Reflecting the past, setting new targets, new burning positive spirit, I am going to embrace this new season with a blast, in which was delayed for 2 weeks. lol

My friends in UTP, see ya~

Gaga's Haters and JLo

All little monsters (just in case you don't know, little monsters refer to Gaga's fans, in which they call her as Mother Monster. I am not sure whether I am a little monster. lol) surely anticipate her upcoming third album, Born This Way which will be out on 23rd May 2011, that is on Monday! Few singles were released earlier prior to the release of the album which include "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". "Judas" is currently my favourite track of the album. The music video is super brilliant. It is a masterpiece and the supremacy can't never be challenged. Lol, that's going overboard.

The album cover is little disturbing though. She is really into darkness images lately but her music is still rockin'.

One thing I don't like about Gaga is her haters. Been reading the comments on YouTube, Facebook and any other websites. Those rootless accusations really disgust me. They all call her names, saying her worshipping satan, mocking religion (Christianity in particular) bla bla bla. From wearing meat dress to using fake blood as prop for her performances. She really likes to trigger controversy by producing songs like "Judas" or her "Alejandro" music video which include the symbolism of religion. The most common one is Lady Gaga claims to be an Illuminati puppet, as one of her popular gesture is showing the "All Seeing Eye" by covering one of her eyes.

Seriously, Gaga is still dust in God's eye, just like everyone (well, to those who believe in God). Why would anyone getting so intimidated by her if they have real faith in God? Since when we can judge someone whether he/she will go to hell? That's God's job, not us. I really can't stand seeing these comments pop up. These haters are just plain LAME, trying to get attention by posting such comments. These are the real attention whores. Gaga, well, I never deny the fact she is an attention b***h but she does it beautifully. Lol. I see Gaga as a great entertainer. I enjoy her metaphoric music which can be so inspiring. By the way, haters keep on saying she's copying Madonna. I mean, where's Madonna? I didn't hear she's complaining. Another thing what I like about Gaga is she never lip-sync when performing, which makes her a REAL entertainer, which happens to write or co-write her own songs as well. =D

This makes me ponder though. No matter how sweet you are like Taylor Swift, how decent like Celine Dion, how innocent like Justin Bieber, they all have one thing in common. They all have haters. So, I guess Gaga realises the fact that no matter what she does, there are groups of people will always be displeased. So, she pushes a little beyond the limit to do what she likes, in which I happen to enjoy them. Paws up! (")('')

I miss this Gaga. Though.

It's the new generation..

Of party people...

Let me introduce you..

To my party people..

In the club...

Lol, this happens to be the intro of one my favourite JLo's songs. Not really a fan of JLo. The truth is that her songs barely made any hits previously, in my opinion. That has changed when her latest single, "On The Floor" was released 2 months ago. Incorporating latin beats and with a sample of "Lambada", this video has garnered more than 150millions views currently, surpasses Gaga's "Born This Way" which was released about the same time, earlier actually. This song makes me wanna go club! XD

On the other note, she still looks incredible in her 40's. Having 2 children, she is a truly hot mama. LOL. Her vocal is really not that powerful but she definitely can sing. Tracks from her Love? album are quite good, I would say. "I'm Into You" and "Papi" have that catchy beats that keep me hooked!

Other than Gaga and JLO, I have this another song keeps wondering in my mind.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom....."

Presenting...

NICKI MINAJ - SUPER BASS!

Hehee, enjoy!

p/s I can't adjust the snap shot, I think...

Have a nice day! =)

*Enjoying my semester break and won't be back to UTP that soon although new sem starts on Monday. I am being a bad boy now. Quoting from Dr. Nurul, my dearest TP lecturer. :)

**Waiting for the time to unleash all these....

Happy Mother's Day

My laptop crashed a while ago. When I restarted my laptop and Window Media Player, it randomly played "Mama" by Spice Girls. Lol, I guess my Window Vista is aware of its surrounding.

"Back then I didn't know why

Why you were misunderstood

So now I see through your eyes

All that you did was love

Mama I love you.

Mama I care..

Mama I love you .

Mama my friend.

You're my friend~"

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY BELOVED MOM

and to all the great mama in the world.

May all of you be blessed with

joys and happiness

with the loved ones.

:)

I like this photo of my mom. She sits there just like a queen, queen of the family. ♥

Currently in exam mode. I have so much to share for the past happenings. Stay tune for juicy updates! Lol, all the best to all who are taking exams. See ya!

With much love,

Steward

*Currently in love with Jennifer Lopez! #jlo

My Heart Will Go On

“It’s been 84 years.

I can still smell the fresh paint.

The china had never been used.

The sheet had never been slept in….”

Remember these lines? Well, perhaps the next line will stir up your memory a bit..

“I’M THE KING OF THE WORLD!”

Late evening yesterday, for some reason, when my player randomly played “My Heart Will Go On” (it always does, lol), I just remembered how the song has always been so soothing every time I am listening to it for the past 14 years, and still counting. Compared to songs released nowadays, the popular original soundtrack of Titanic will never get old.

Was chatting with a friend and talking about childhood. Just like any other normal people, I have my own personal preference of cartoons/series. I watched Power Rangers, Dragon Ball, Doraemon etc. Those were the times when I need not to worry about the world. When I was younger, I wish I could be a grown-up in no time. At this point of time, how much I wish the time would have passed by a bit slower back then. Anyway, back to the story, among all these things, the most vivid childhood memory would be the time when I fall for “My Heart Will Go On”, my very first love and still is. I remembered the time I always sing this song every night before I sleep. I still remembered when I always play with my toy as “Titanic” and sing the song along. Lol.

One of my favourite scenes in the movie: the sinking

First time watching the movie when I was 9, the perception changes when I grow older. Back then I might feel “eeew” as there are so many kissing scenes between Jack and Rose. Watching it now (in which I just did), I view it from other perspectives, in a more matured way. Humanity. Friendship. Loyalty. Love. How far you can go to preserve these? Does the fictional love story of Jack and Rose really exist? Does true love exist? By the way, I always come across this line, “If you really love him/her, let him/her go.” What say you?

Titanic, a fusion of historical fascinating actual event and forbidden unstoppable fictional love story are basically the reasons why I love this movie. TITANIC FOREVER!

And I just love the soundtracks! All of them.

Okay, move on to my next agenda for this post. This month is coming to an end and this is my second post. I was so caught up in many things and I didn’t really have the urge to blog. I have so much wanted to share but too little time (or maybe I don’t feel like sharing them now. May they eternalize in my memories). It is coming to the end of this semester. It’s 14th week already! How time flies!

Eventful semester it has been. So many happenings when the semester commenced 13 weeks ago. It didn’t really start nicely. When I was going through half of this period, it didn’t really go well either. Fully recovered (or still recovering) from these has slowly changed me, in some ways. I really learned big lessons from the mistakes that I have done. I’m not putting something that is so dearly precious to me in jeopardy again for very stupid mistakes. Sometimes I whined why these bad moments hit me but these were the times that actually make me to be stronger each day. Good moments, I am thankful for them and it is something that I’m looking forward to keep me living. Sometimes I hold on. Other times, I choose to let go and move on. I did and I feel great.

Life is short, eh? Don’t waste it. Grab every opportunity offered and don't let them slip away.

I shall stop right here. Let’s see how this very last week ends. =)

*I am not in the position to judge people. Everyone is. We observe. We hear what people do but we can just talk about it. Or maybe we shouldn’t.
