Another Research Project Maybe?

Our 3rd year group design project has just started and we have already working our ass off. And it is going to carry on for four more weeks.... -_-

Will talk a little more about the group design project later.

When do people use handphone?

When they wanna make phone call? Okay.
When they wanna play games? Okay.
When they wanna take pictures? Okay.
When they wanna listen to songs? Okay.

What else?

When they are extremely bored in class.

We had our 4th year subjects briefing today and there were 12 subjects to be briefed in 3 hours! It was utterly boring, with the lecturers coming in and out by taking turns, giving an overview of the syllabus of each related subjects.

Yes I know we should always appreciate these kinda effort from them. But sometimes when it's really boring, it can't be helped. It's like, sometimes we don't even feel like wasting a second of our life when a salesman can't even sell his product (which often happens in KL when we are eating out).

Bored! So what do we do?

Play with the phone! To be honest I have no idea what they were doing with the phone but it was more of like, pressing pressing, moving the cursors, looking at the screen, and putting them back to the pockets.


And more. Our brother Hong Ling. Well I suspect he was texting Jasmine.

HL: What to cook today dear?
Jas: Up to you lor dear!
HL: Dear decide lar!
Jas: Dear.........

*shudders* Sorry I cannot continue... Although I overheard lots of these conversations of theirs (it is overheard ok! O-V-E-R-H-E-A-R-D!).

Hahaha... Andy was caught red-handed too! Not sure what he was doing with his phone? Have a clearer look on the next picture.


Well, I think he was taking some pictures of the professor. He probably has some fetish over old, knowledgable, male professors. =)


Ohh, back to Hong Ling again. They haven't decided what to cook yet I think.


Hahaha... Mona too was playing around with her phone.


And at the end of the day, I was the one who was the most boring person who had nothing better to do because I was capturing people playing with their handphones, with my handphone. Why? Simply because they are lousy sales person! =P

As you could have noticed on the previous picture, there was someone sleeping. Yeah the design project was too stressful as it is carried out right after our exams. When there isn't any time to recuperate, work starts to pile up again.

I am paired up with Vilex and we are currently working with another 8 people over a research project with the title: Hydrogen Economy. As you know I am currently pursuing my tertiary studies on Civil Engineering. Frankly, I don't see any "c-i-v-i-l" or "e-n-g-i-n-e-e-r-i-n-g" related to our topic, at all. It is really cracking my brain. Loads of background reading to be done and I basically have drained up all the fluid in my brain. I need a HOLIDAY!

And guess what? Our group is going to Isle Of Wight this coming Monday for site investigation purpose. Yay! I can add one more entry to my "Place I Have Been To" list. Other than that, thousands of sighs....

They are not much better. Patrick and Hong Ling had their site visit trip to Tower Bridge area for 3-4 hours, on the first day of the design project. The day when the handout was given out. The day when we were allocated into groups randomly. The day when we were given briefing on the design project. The FIRST day itself.

Hence we have this during today's subject talk session.


Yinky and Wee Yow were allocated into a group to design the municipal waste management for Cyprus. The WHOLE Cyprus, they emphasized.

What should I say? They are lucky bastards because a site investigation is not possible! =P

But still, they work like crazy too! Proof:


So, just when I was giving out an impression that I was enjoying life after exams, I was totally, utterly wrong. Feel so stressful everyday with all the work to be done. I think the worst thing is I need a lot of reading so that I can get more insight on Hydrogen Economy. Read Read Read! Again, I have had enough reading for my exams. Sigh...

One thing I feel good about the design project is, it gives a true feeling of professional working life. My leader, Mike has done a good job in organising. The leadership, I think I need 10 more years to obtain his ability. -_-"

The feeling of this project is like, The Apprentice! We have to work in group and everyone has to contribute to lead to success. I personally am lack of knowledge of this field we are working on, hence I am trying to compensate with a bit more of hard work. Hopefully I won't be the first one to be fired!


You are fired!
Kamu sudah di-api!

You are fried-sotong!
Kamu sudah digoreng sotong!

Hopefully the Isle Of Wight trip will be fun. At least, a good weather I pray.
