Internship in Nestlé - 24-25th Nov 2016 (8am - 5pm)

Thursday, 24^th Nov 2016 (8am - 5pm)

At 8 a.m., I met my colleague, Jaclyn Yee in the office. She had been working in this department for four months.

At 9.15am I followed Jaclyn to attend the routine meeting in the boiler control room. In this room, various performance graphs of power consumption are displayed on the wall. The on-duty operators from each section were gathered and reported the feedback to Tee. The meeting lasted 10 minutes.

At 10.00 a.m., I went to the WWTP control room and met the on-duty operator, Mr. Vasu. He shared the process flow chart of existing WWTP and explained each process. Suddenly one alarm was triggered and he pressed a button to switch off the alarm. He told me there was a case when there was a high level in the balance tank due to incoming industrial effluent from the production plant, however, it was considerably accepted.

At 3 p.m., I went to the control room again. This time Mr. Ridzuan was on duty. He had shared his knowledge about the WWTP operation. I took this opportunity to understand the daily tasks carried out by the WWTP operators.

Friday, 25^th Nov 2016 (8am - 5pm)

At 9.15 a.m., I attended the routine meeting in the boiler control room. Before the meeting, there is a tradition of making a swear, ‘Safety begins with me’ by all attendees. As usual, the on-duty operators from each section gave feedback to Tee. The meeting lasted 10 minutes.

At 3 p.m., Ridzuan brought me around WWTP while collecting the samples from the final discharge point, DAF inlet and outlet, etc. Next, he conducted the laboratory test using these samples to check the water characteristics such as pH, colour and chemical oxygen demand (COD), etc.

I was taking this opportunity to observe the procedure of testing samples. He willingly explained the details of these procedures. He explained that these are routine tasks to be carried out by operators and several water parameters must be recorded for further reference.

Internship in Nestlé - Wednesday, 23rd Nov 2016 (8am - 5pm)

At 8 a.m., we gathered in the HR meeting room before we were sent to our respective departments and met our training supervisor/coach.

At 9 a.m., we took the anti-typhoid vaccination at the factory clinic for health and hygiene purposes.

At 10 a.m., three of us including me followed Ms Jiwana to the Engineering department. In the office, we had a short meeting with our manager of the Engineering department, Mr Shinya Nakagawa. He welcomed us and gave us some pieces of advice.

I was arranged to have my three-month internship in the General Service section. My supervisor is Tee Chee Sin and he is a General Service Engineer. He is mainly in charge of all utility services of the whole plant. He had assigned and briefly explained the tasks I should complete during my internship period (See Appendix A). He advised me to communicate effectively with operators throughout this period to assist me in completing the tasks successfully.

At 11 a.m., I followed Tee to the utility site. He briefly explained to me the existing utility services in the plant such as steam boilers, chillers and industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the plant.

Then he gave me an operation manual of the existing dissolved air flotation (DAF) system and assigned me to understand all the information about the DAF system. He told me that recently there would be new equipment to be installed in WWTP. He assigned me to be involved in this project and to prepare the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the start-up of the new DAF during commissioning.

A safety helmet must be worn since there is ongoing construction in WWTP.

At 2.30 p.m., I followed Tee to visit the coffee ground processing plant. Again he emphasized prioritizing the safety aspect of the site. The process of handling coffee grounds involves equipment such as furnaces, hoppers, etc.

At 3 p.m., we went to the WWTP control room and Tee was doing routine log book checking. At the same time Mr Ridzuan, a WWTP operator shared his experience working in WWTP.

Place where I learnt most during internship period

First day of My Internship Period

Tuesday, 22^nd Nov 2016 (8am - 5pm)

At 7.30 a.m., I arrived at the main gate and registered myself at the security office. In the following working days, we should report ourselves here before entering the plant.

An officer from the Human Resources (HR) department, Ms Jiwana briefly introduced today’s schedule in S.H.E (Safety, Health and Environment) meeting room. Then we collected a pair of safety shoes. Wearing safety shoes is mandatory during the working hours.

At 10 a.m., Mr Izwan bin Zainal, senior S.H.E. officer, gave a detailed presentation about the safety aspect in the Nestlé manufacturing factory. He emphasized that the safety issue is always the first priority for us as the employees when in the factory. He shared his experience with the aid of video, statistics and cases that he dealt with during his career life.

At 11.30 a.m., we attended a course about the master plan of Nestlé in the future. It is totally new for trainees to understand the concepts, however, I took the opportunity to understand the benefits and opportunities given by Nestlé to its employees.

At 2.00 p.m., we attended the training session relating to hygiene issues by Mr Lee Heng Hooi, HR executive. He mentioned that hygiene is an important concern for the food industry and the employees are strictly required to follow the rules and regulations when involved the food processing. Employees are not allowed to bring the uniform back home and the laundry services are provided. Then we had a simple visit of the whole plant led by him.

Before the end of the day, we were required to sit for a short test about safety and hygiene to pass the requirements before working.

邂逅

7月11日上午9时，如往常般，我起身就玩手机刷脸书。这时，我收到来自她的问候。这是个阔别近半年以来，她主动邀我见面。我感到惊讶，毕竟半年前闹别扭，随着她的离开，我们好久不再联络了。当时我没马上回复她的信息，心想：还是过一会吧。

当天是个忙碌的日子。上学期成绩公布了，我应好兄弟 Eng Kein 见面。我俩近一个月不曾见面，各自有自己的生活，一见面有说不完的话。他知道今早的事，并告诉我要好好回复她。当中他告诉我，认为我心中依然有她，并且认为我们其实是很配在一起的。我笑笑以对，说明我和她是朋友关系。当时我回复了她的信息，过了些时候她很快就信息我了，还约我一起看电影。奇怪，很不像平时的她拖时间才回复信息。我想：也许是她邀我所以不好意思怠慢吧。直到我回家，我们才定好日期和行程见面。我们谈话得很愉快，过去的矛盾抛开了。我当下心情很兴奋。

这天终于来了。7月13日星期三早上10时，我收到她的信息，说无法陪我看电影了，因为她爸爸要早回。我很失落，不过我们依然可以见面。上午11时，她终于来到约定的地方——校园，我带她四处走走看看校园的小改变。我们来到新图书馆区，新食肆。我们也经过正在装修的tutorial room。她感慨为何她一离开校园才逐渐装修好看。一会我们便离开。

大约12时，我们来到咖啡厅吃早午茶。美食来了，她也不忘拿起相机拍照，还要我做简单pose拍美食。她说：在墨尔本她很少这么做了，因为周遭的环境她不敢这么做，看起来很突兀。她也说：其实墨尔本算是走遍了，最后她还是想回来马来西亚。她依然记得之前我在暑假忙碌的活动，关心地问我ChemeCar比赛成绩如何。我展示给她看影片，却忘了给她看我得奖的画面。谈话中，聊到她在墨尔本的生活，我们的近况，人际关系，课业烦恼。我们互相聆听，互相倾诉。她说：“你是JY以外我告诉心事诉苦的对象。"

接着我们来到Sunway Pyramid逛街。其实是我陪她买东西，她想买生日礼物给她的朋友和JY。我说我也一起出吧。她说：希望我们A level朋友的生日一起庆祝。我听在耳里，铭记于心。她买了很多用品，很多次我想帮她提东西都被她拒绝。我想是用错方式吧，还是我们还不至于某种程度上的关系吧。

然后，我们来到caffebene 吃冰甜品。在宁静的环境，我们再次深入聊天。

这时的我问了她：“可否问妳，妳是愿意谈往事，还是说过去的事不提了？”

她说没关系。我说出了心里纳闷的疑问：“妳为什么今天约我出来？”

她说：“as promised。”

我笑说：“原来那个约定是没有限期的啊。” 她笑说是的。哈哈，也对。回想起当初我还真没规定限期。

接着的谈话，我们谈清楚当时无法在信息中正确传递的想法。我向她道歉，说：“我不是为自己找借口，不过也许同龄朋友，男生永远都比女生幼稚吧。之前我不该执着我们的误会……” 最后，我告诉她：“比起之前，我渐渐学习不再执着任何事物了。” 最后，误会冰释了。

当中我们也谈感情。我问她怎么到现在还没找到对象，她说没有platform，再加上本身有点保守，不像她的闺蜜开放可以去夜店的个性；我和她有同感。我问她心中理想的对象，起初她说没有特定的要求，后来在我的追问之下，她说：“成熟稳重的男人。”

接近下午5时，我们的约会结束了。离开Sunway Pyramid的手扶梯上，我对她说：很感谢妳依然当我是朋友。然后我送她在她爸爸工作地点下车，目送她离去。回家的路上顿时下起雨来。

到了家，我打了很长的信息给了她，对她坦诚之前对她做过的不成熟举动。虽然我知道告诉她简直就在给今天的约会扫兴，并且印象扣分，不过我还是选择告诉她。我也后悔，忘了为今天的邂逅来个合照。

记得好兄弟汨茜对我说过：无法在一起就好好地守护着她吧。我想：我和妳之间之前发生很多事，难得误会冰释了。直到遇到下一个适合的对象之前，我会好好地守护着妳。在妳难过找我聊天，当妳的聆听对象；需要帮忙时，能力范围内一定伸出援手。虽然，妳不一定会找我，妳也有很要好的朋友以及闺蜜。虽然，妳个性很坚强。

希望我们友谊永存。=D

A levels' peeps

阔别4年了，我好久好久没有写blog了。如今大学暑假三个月，偶然间读回自己曾经写过的blog，文笔青涩又写实，中学生涯的点点滴滴都历历在目，反映了当时我的心情与想法。一时兴血来潮，开始写起blog来填补这4年来的空档。

中学毕业后的2012年我在Sunway College报读 A levels课程。由于选课关系，我上的每一堂科目，都遇见不同的脸孔，好事是我可以认识许多人，但相处时间甚短，而且同学都是小我一岁，一开始我很自卑，从来不和任何人来往，总是一人上课，休息，下课，图书馆是我唯一的落脚处。我的AS成绩标青，只因我之前曾经上过一学期，早有所准备。

我记得数学课是最拿手的科目，引起老师和同学的关注。好几次同学都误会我是不是有拿Further Mathematics，我笑说我是这数学班的（P/S：不是自夸；further maths有特别的一班）。我认识了一名印度朋友，到现在我们还是同一所大学。物理课是让我很失望的一堂课，因为被菜鸟老师教课。曾经我是最喜欢物理的，感谢中学时期Mr Wong培养的兴趣，但却一瞬间没了。化学课，第一学期我独来独往，却认识了也是新来任教的老师 Ms Loh。记得第一次的测验她宣布有人竟然得满分，同学们惊讶。而我保持低调，但同学最后知道是我。从此这份成就感在心中油然而生，决定精心专研化学。如今始终对化学很感兴趣，或多或少都有她的启蒙因素。

同年3月22日是SPM成绩放榜的日子，同学大多缺席，只有我和几位international students复习化学。我记得那天迟到了，进入实验室后发现前排坐着一位女生，本地人，有空位，便走在她旁边。我好奇她怎么没请假去拿成绩，在空档时我还是问了她，第一次开口与她聊天。原来她也和我同龄，曾经读过MUFY，后来决定再读过A levels。我诧异，她愿意分享她的过去。我看着她，怎么看起来她就小妹妹型的啊。后来我才认识她是PY。不过这次交谈彻底地改变我过去日子来的自卑看法，觉得隔年学习一点也不耻，毕竟这是人生的一段经历。后来我逐渐放开心怀与同学们打交道，尤其是化学这一班有许多可爱的女生，当然当时的我纯粹只想认识她们而已。我也参与了malaysian studies的瓜雪旅行团，认识了Wayne，大学工程一年级我们还同一班，现在他出国留学了。第一学期结束前，我认识了一名很容易脸红的短发女生，我觉得自己笑疯了，为她取外号Tomato。

第二学期开始课程有些更动，数学和物理老师都换了资深老师。数学老师Senior Lee有个至今我很欣赏他的教书方式，就是在第二学期结束前教完所有课程后，直到A2临考前几个星期，每周至少一次不断给我们past year paper当正式考试，给我们备考。他称赞我的表现，总是以我的答案作为批改答案。可是第三学期开始我的表现欠佳，他当众提点我，我知道问题所在，重新出发。物理老师个性很懒散。化学班依旧是 Ms Loh。

在化学班，我开始认识其他的女生（因为这班女生占大多数），个个性格鲜明。当中三人很喜欢cosplay，因为她们我开始接触动漫，认识御宅族文化，也参与当年的AMG活动展览到场支持她们cosplay。当时我很喜欢一个动漫角色，深紫gothic loli服饰的水银灯，刚巧KY扮演这角色，而且很美很逼真，我很欣赏她，只可惜她好像很排斥我。MQ，一位很特别的女生，经常笑我矮。她扮Miku很漂亮，是她拉我进御宅族世界。其实她外形就很美，可是就冰山的感觉。后来我们在同一间大学念不同科系，反而比起当时，现在关系变得要好，她也帮助了我许多事。PY是一位学习认真的女生，她很低调，不过也拍了几次外景。当时我超爱动漫《俺妹》，2013年A2临考前夕播出的《俺妹》第二季依然追看。我和她都很喜欢“黑猫”这角色，至今我们依然喜欢。

当然在那个学期经常乐意陪伴我的是Tomato (SX)。我们上课，课余都在一起，所以认识她最久了，她总是愿意聆听我的心事。还有经常陪我们的是JN，课余时间经常一起复习。我很乐意在课业上无私地帮助她们，这一点与大学的我完全不一样。可是JN有男朋友的管制，所以我和她很少相处。不过在我们毕业后的2014年，记得是我生日的前一天，我接到她的来电，静静地听她诉苦数小时，后来我才知道我是她在遇到心事第一个寻找的朋友。在她回国的暑假，我们经常与其他人约出来吃喝聊天。

记得一段时日我与SX经常短信，还打电话超过数小时，结果电话费超支了。后来网上信息逐渐普及，我们在LINE聊天，聊到很晚，天南地北，那段相处我是很依赖她的，很珍惜这段友谊。可是后来，应该是第三学期开始吧，她渐渐迟回复信息，我也许得了所谓的信息焦虑症，还一度以为在她心目中自己不重要了。现在回想起来就觉得自己很可笑。现在我们都在不同的国度，依然保持联系，就像昨天她假期开始了还不忘找我聊天。还有其他朋友，但我们甚少联系。不过JY是在毕业后的几次聚会才熟了。她经常用心地举办聚会，旅行。我认为没有她的穿针引线，我们也许很难维系这段感情到今天。

曾经遗憾自己为何这么迟才认识她们，A levels的日子很忙碌，时日也不过短短一年半载。这段日子，我们一起庆生，吃晚餐，旅游，聚会。为我庆生与赠送生日礼物，是为数不多的一次，我很珍惜~ 后来的Triple A Ceremony，我们分道扬镳，正式各奔前程——我们毕业了。至今我遗憾的是，我没与每一位好好相处，合照留恋，不过庆幸的是我们依然偶尔会聚一聚。

当然回忆不仅这一篇，还有许多美好的回忆在脑海里。如果说小学茫然，中学莫名奇妙，那么Pre-U 是最棒的。想想还真是奇妙啊！如果当初我没在那个时间点上到这里读A levels，也许在人生中就不会有这段精彩的回忆。天时地利人和，我没后悔当时，选对了科系，认识了她们~

怀念，只因这段美好的回忆~

初到东海

9月5日的早晨是我在马来西亚的最后一次享受这儿的阳光。这天我准备好行李后，爸爸载我们去吃肉骨茶。可能在许久的一段时日我再也无法吃到家乡美食了。约12时，我们抵达吉隆坡国际机场，这也是我第一次来到机场，也是第一次出远门。这次我随一群到台湾留学的团体搭机，有些是进入侨大，有些是以外籍生进入大学。在登记之前我认识了3位也是到东海大学的同学。

约下午1时，我们进入候机厅，此时我将与亲爱的家人挥别。我不时回首向他们挥手道别，心中不舍，但感到兴奋，希望这份心情能够持久。接近下午2时，我们进入机内坐下。下午2时40分，飞机正式前进、加速，于2时46分起飞，离开马来西亚。这趟行程约5小时直飞到台北。第一次乘飞机，我四处观察，享用机上的娱乐设施。

晚上7时20分，我们终于抵达台湾。办理好入境手续，提了行李，就到大厅，见到了一路以来帮助我们的学长学姐。然后8时20分他们带领我们乘坐出租车往台中市东海大学去。台湾国道电子收费站可以时速110公里通过，比马来西亚的smart tag快了许多。
过了1小时15分钟的车程，我们终于抵达大学里了，另几位等待已久的学长学姐接待我到宿舍去。我认识了二位室友，分别名为博浩和维荏，另外一位回去台北。我们短暂认识彼此聊天，我也简单地整理室内安置好东西。可是我的寝具还没送到，借用回台北的室友的床褥。我还没有网路线，所以没与家人联络。时候不早了，我也睡觉去了。
问了室友，台湾正处于夏末。

台湾的黎明来得特别早，9月6日的早上6时多就天亮了，我起身梳洗一番。可我的室友还在睡，不过今天8时开始就有一连串的测验和活动等着我。我只好自行问人到达目的地。早上有华文测验和讲座；中午赶着去体检；下午有微积分及英文测验；晚上在中正堂参与迎新典礼“相见欢”，然后alpha leader带领我们到系楼自我介绍，不过leader的带动很无聊。就这样我忙了一整天回到宿舍去。博浩搬出宿舍了，剩下我和维荏，还有台北人。
我终于与家人连线交谈了，结果那晚我们交谈了1小时12分钟。我很对不起我的家人，没在第一时间向家人报平安。看见他们，虽身处异地，不过心里感到窝心。2天没上网，facebook有许多留言和notification。

9月7日早上8时享用早餐后，我们到中正堂参与“我的人生”欣赏历时1小时30分钟《遇见苏格拉底》英文片，片中讲述一名体操选手遇见阅历人生的老人，老人经常提醒年轻人做人的态度，不过年轻人固执不听。最后在遇上车祸后才渐渐体会老人的话，成功成为一名出色的体操选手。片中经典对白是“活在当下”。这是一部值得观赏的影片，相信对新生有很大的启发。
午餐后各系学生到各自的系所见系主任、教授的讲说。坦白说，系主任说的话让我感到很sienz，再加上昨晚睡得不足，让我感到昏昏欲睡。晚上，我们新生自我介绍，环顾四周，只有我是外地人，来自马来西亚，他们感到好奇，问了我许多问题，不过我有一定程度上的孤单。哎！傍晚和晚上10时与家人视频。每每见到他们，心中就有坚持下去的意念。

9月8日。这天活动是社团活动与游逛东海校园。早餐后学长姐带领我们参观社团活动，这天的校园很热闹，有许许多多新奇的社团派发传单介绍各自社团。下午我们漫游东海辽阔的校园，如教堂、东海湖、农牧场等，在音美馆欣赏了一部超赞的短片—东海爱情故事，感人。晚上7时我们观赏精湛的社团表演。

9月9日。这天我们都在各系所进行游戏互动，可是alpha leader实在是逊透了，我感到好无聊。幸好有其他学长搞笑陪我们玩游戏。晚上6时，我们到路思义教堂的草坪上集合，我赶回宿舍邀请家人观赏现场转播的活动。晚上7时，“希望之夜”节目正式开始，草坪挤满三千多位新生，晚上9时20分节目结束了。本地同学纷纷于今晚或明早返乡度过最后3天的暑假，室友也回家了，我正计划这三天怎么过。

9月10日。校园冷清清的，我也睡到很迟，然后无所事事上网留言。下午3时我到国际处处理文件，并约好在马来西亚认识的永威晚上到东别去。4天中在校园里忙了迎新活动和呆在宿舍，今晚终于踏出校门来到闹区东别！这里有点像茨厂街，有许多小小的店铺和行人。我们走了几回，便决定吃炒饭，然后他带我去吃冰。我点了红豆芋头粉，我们在小店里聊了一个晚上。回宿舍前我买了日用品。

9月11日。我到永维住的第二教学区新宿舍去。坦白说超羡慕他们的宿舍。夏天吹冷气是最棒的。我借他的笔电与母亲聊天，倾诉这儿的生活。下午我们到东别的subway吃午餐，然后回我的宿舍过着百无聊赖的午后。说是在，天气超热。

晚上6时，我们到校门口集合参与大马同学会举办的中秋大餐，到黨主席餐廳聚餐。我们宴开4桌，点了许多菜肴，不过说实在菜肴并不丰盛。我们交谈、饮胜、合照。回到校园，我们一群年轻人到路思义教堂的草坪围个圈聊天。夜晚的校园凉爽，周围有许多人摸黑到这儿来漫游、团聚。学长姐分发零食、饮料，我们还提灯笼在异地提早庆中秋。我抬头望着夜空，月亮也很圆。就这样我们过着愉快温馨的夜晚。

人生 • 过渡期

上了一学期A levels课程，我就不再继续了。当初SPM才考完不久就被爸爸送到Taylor's College Subang Jaya 校区，虽然一开始的大转变与仅用英文为教材，让我很难适应而几度倍感压力。可能是想逃避吧，当我获悉另一个选项是到台湾东海大学深造的机会，心里只想摆脱这环境而选择后者。

距离开学还有两个月的时间，基本上就是在家耍废、上网看电影。当时我追看一部台湾的连戏剧《犀利人妻》，讲述了一个原本幸福美满的家庭，因男主角有了第三者而破坏了一切。虽然剧情离我的心境还远，但剧中表露出各种复杂且真实的心情，如愤怒、无奈、惋惜、遗憾、祝福，觉得也许这就是人生的经历吧。

回首刚中学毕业至今的这半年来，除了调整升学的心境而感到茫然，在欢庆农历新年不到一个月之后，外婆离开了人世。我感到非常难过，也很遗憾，心想：到底是什么原因，也过了多久的时候了，我们一家人没有去探望外公外婆了。是我们外孙逐渐长大而忙碌于学业，还是一周两周没去而‘忘’了呢？后来外婆因年迈的缘故吧，进了医院的老人病房，我们也几次探访她。据说同一个病房的老人都不久离去，而外婆是病房中住院最久的。虽然如此，听到此况，心情也不好。

记得小时候到外婆家，偶然间我‘发掘’花生夹心饼，就爱不释手地吃。外婆见到了我喜爱吃，每次都准备好一大桶给我。有时发现我没主动拿来吃，也会亲自拿来给我。也许，这就是所谓的外婆的爱吧。到了外婆家，你无须担心没得吃，哪怕自己长胖了她也觉得你还是瘦了。

外婆的葬礼在三舅的家具店挪出空间后进行，这两栋（包括毗邻的大舅的电器商店）位于繁忙的加埔路，是外公外婆常年居住的店、屋，直到后来才搬去公寓住。妈妈告诉我，依然住在这的老街坊在知道外婆过世后，都纷纷前来送她最后一程。为期三天的丧礼，我们每天都前来换上孝服守着灵堂。

直到出殡那一天，我记得我们聘请了RELA 来帮助我们维持交通、开路。车水马龙的公路暂时停了下来，记得当下晴空万里的早上，顿时细雨纷飞，直到我们往墓园的路上驶去。我心中感到惊叹，也感到欣慰。也许是为了全家平安，外婆好多年茹素、虔诚拜佛感动了上天吧。当时的情景，目前我依然记得很清楚。

人们常说：人生充满喜怒哀乐，生离死别，有快乐，也有难过的经历。对于年纪轻轻的我，觉得自己是否总是“少年不知愁滋味，为赋新词强说愁”。18岁的我，人生才刚刚开始，加油吧！

18岁生日快乐～ 18th Birthday

好巧，SPM成绩放榜的这天是我的生日。之前我就紧张了，担心成绩如何，我在脸书留言祝福朋友。当天上午10时，成绩放榜了，我考获辉煌成绩。此外这一届同学们个个都考获佳绩，老师们感到很光荣。

这一天朋友都知道今天也是我的生日，纷纷祝福我。拿了成绩后，我们当然聚会玩了。这一次很特别，我与A1朋友来到Aeon Bukit Tinggi，最近开张的大型商场。我们一起吃午餐，聊天。

然后Vivian和EM来到Starbucks请我吃蛋糕，祝我生日快乐。后来Vivian提前离开了，我和EM单纯地聊天。我很开心，难得在这大日子里有她的出现，还陪我一个下午，第一次一对一。我们相识了10年，而且平常的同学的聚会未必遇见她。我们聊着毕业后的目标，现在的课业。可是好景不常，杀出了一个程咬金。我无奈，但也只能接受这个“第三者”。为了留下这一刻，我要求他为我和EM合照。谢谢妳，祝福妳 =)

      

Mars Needs Moms

I have three days holiday and it's the time to relax from busy pre-U college life. Yesterday noon sister and I went to TGV Bukit Raja to watch a 3D computer-animated movie Mars Needs Moms. I like the effect of this movie, especially its background is outerspace. We enjoyed one and half hours for a nice movie =D

Synopsis

The film follows a boy named nine-year-old  Milo. Milo is just beginning summer but his mother gives him chores and tasks like weeding the garden or eating his vegetables. But after Milo tints his sister's face purple, his mother sees no humor in this. She orders him up to his room. After an argument with his mother in which Milo says "I don't see what's so special about mothers!", Milo goes to his room. After falling asleep, Milo does not hear the rumble of the rocket landing outside. After, Martians enter Milo's house and take away his mother, Milo realizes that he has to rescue her. He embarks on an adventure to rescue his mother.

Milo finds out just how much he needs his mom when she's kidnapped by Martians who plan to steal her "momness" for their own young.

Milo's quest to save his mom involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader, the Supervisior. With the help of tech-savvy underground Earthman Gribble , his bionic underground pet Two-Cat and rebellious Martian Ki, Milo finds his way back to his mom.

6M Gathering 20110219

It was 5 months we 6M buddies didn't have a gathering since September 2010. At the beginning of the year 2011, many of them keeping urge me to organising a gathering after SPM or during CNY. But it's not easy to organise which everyone agreed on. I almost get dilemma, I think maybe first time organising a gathering. Haha.

It was a great gathering on 19 February 2011 finally! Our gathering began on 7 pm at 88 Steamboat BBK. I was glad to see them, especially Steph and Chee Siang, new buddies who first time attended!

That night we had a great time with enjoy our steamboat and chit-chatting. I was keeping change the seats because wish to take this moment to chat with you all. Most of the topics were around current activities we did and ambition in future.

At 10 pm onwards, each of them left and brought back the happiness we had. It indicates I successfully organised a gathering and created a great moment for us, did I? XD

Glad to see you again, my awesome buddies!

=D

Working as a promoter

At the beginning of year 2011, I don't have to go to school for attending boring lessons, but it indicates that I have nothing to do. So Loon wern and I went to the malls for asking vacancy available and suitable to us, but we had to wait until being informed.

On sunday I received a call from Aussino KP that asked me to have an interview at the noon. Actually there was just simple conversation before get the job. The manager told me next day come to work at clearance fair which held along 10 days in Centro Klang and I was excited when heard it.

So, it was the beginning of 8 days working as a promoter.

At the first day 6 pm, I came to the place and saw some people seen like wait the manager, same as me too. We carried on our first duty after instructed by manager, which moved all the stocks from the FIVE trucks to the fair centre! It was time consuming but afterwards we had to arrange all the stocks on the racks and shelves! It was midnight ad when I went back home and I was super duper exhausted!

On the next day I came to the place and began to work as promoter. I thought the following days would be tiring but it's not, I started to enjoy the work and environment here. There are four male part-timers including me and three permanent staffs. The fair was just in front of Secret Recipe and CIMB Bank.

Oh ya! Forget to tell you what we did there. Our jobs were to promote and sell pillows, bed sheets, quilts, boosters, bath towels, blankets and many more. So sad we can't sleep on the bed but had to serve customers. The cakes and ice cream displayed in Secret Recipe were trying to attract us. But the atmosphere is great, quiet and luxurious. My job is quite easy and comfortable. =D

There was peak hours when the customers off their works (There are many offices and companies in Centro buildings) and after having thier lunch or dinner. Actually serving customers can be fun, but the condition is I meet good customers. I would get a wonderful sense of achievement when they had decided to buy something after I promoted, especially some purchased as much as they wanted. Some customers are nice, they even asked me questions such as "waiting for SPM result?", "what is your next future study?". Of course I'm willing to help them carrying things to counter and sent to their cars or location seen they bought many things, although those aren't our responsibilities.

Serving customers is a very challenging task. I have to agree the statement "Customers are always right". I thanked to the nice customers when they're leaving. I still remember a man gave me thumb up before he left with the things. It was great =D

But the statement maybe allow some stupid fellow abusing their rights for meaningless purpose. There were a lot of bitchy customers when choosing the things. It's troublesome when you have to pack all the things they opened, especially the bed sheets or blankets, and arranged back nicely but they buy nothing. Some of them still disagree the price with dissatisfaction and suspicion. They should know this is a stock clearance and the price is as low as the cost of production.

I still remember there was a stupid drunk customer from the bar came to choose the shirt. You won't imagine how the drunk people keep the shirts messy around the shelf and left without purchasing anything! And there was a super duper troublesome and annoying customer came to buy a shirt. That time Kenny served him and he was angry of that stupid fellow. "Wah! Service here is so low quality arr? Didn't arrange the shirts properly?" bla bla... The staffs and I get to helped Kenny to serve the customer who just bought ONE RM 25 SHIRT only!

I was glad to know some friends there, which are Justin and Kenny. Justin is hard working and helpful when serving customers. Kenny is a talkative and nice buddy. He always chatted with us and shared his happiness, the topics are around family, future study, school life in kwang hua or high school and his girl friend, bla bla... Then we always played like the children, two of us chased Kenny around the workpalce when free time, because Kenny is a nice person to be bullied! XD

We also noticed the surrounding during the working hour. We always saw a malay guy being around here, went to New Zealand Nature, then Mynews, then moved to Secret Recipe, and seen like no work for him. So I called him si lepak, same also my buddies. I also saw some of my friends there, and they surprised when I was working. XD

Due to the high price of food there, we part-timers brought the meal by homemade or from outside. We always sat on a bench which under escalator to enjoy our meals during rest time. You won't visualise how nice and fun I had during an hour break. We shared our food and chit-chatting. Kenny always shared his school life as a Form 6 with me and I bought some Pre-U books from him. We also used Kenny's notebook surfing internet to have fun.

It was my last day to work as a promoter at 17 January. There were out of stocks for certain stocks, which is pillows, kids towel and bath towels. It was the last day I played and joked with my buddies. It was also the last chance I served the customers. At 6.00 pm, I wished my buddies before I left.

I still miss the moment I had although preparing for my college's course intake. Even though I began my college life, I also visit them when back from college. Nice to see them again and feel good when having dilemma! After two days, the fair was coming to the end.

It was a great experience of my very first job. Sometimes I also went to Centro and refresh back the memory when working. And of course we're still keeping in touch. =)

真心话

接近下午五时，几位同学围坐在一起进行活动，说出一人的优点。大家的高谈阔论引来越来越多的人加入。最后，我们一起坐在屋外人造草围着大圈进行这项活动，就定为“真心话”吧。当时Eric说他之前已提议进行这项活动，我说：“这个活动会…就是说会有点touch。”

首先美菁带头，全场鸦雀无声聆听她想说的朋友忆玲，评语是"sociable"。忆玲选了Eric，是个friendly的朋友。轮到Eric时选了班长嘉玮，说他是尽责的班长，"但你不要这样 blur吗? XD" 嘉玮开玩笑对Eric说: "then 你可以不要这样gay吗？" 结果引起哄场大笑。

然后轮到嘉玮选了我，“有义气，只是不要这样sensitive啦。”当然接着轮到了我，坐到中心点，然后爱说笑的彦亨说“开始sensitive了喽”“先讲自己。” 哈哈！其实我正如此意。

“首先我想说的人是我… 我昨天阅读班刊的时候，发现许多朋友对5S1的感言提到分派，其实我当初在部落格post上去纯粹是开玩笑，没想到引起大家的关注，也造成伤害。”

“可能我个人不大会笑。之前照过镜子笑的时候看不出我在笑。其实我是在笑，也许大家看不出来吧。所以每当我只不过是在开玩笑的时候，大家就严肃看待……”

“我这几年来得罪不少朋友…”

当然期间有许多人给予意见。我说着说着，双手无端端发抖、有点口疵，差点落泪。但到最后，“我会好好考虑是否会出席毕业典礼，无论最后有没有去，祝大家旅途愉快！”

然后我选了文强，“大家都知道他很友善，笑嘻嘻的，但就不要太懒惰啦！”企图扭转悲伤的气氛。

文强选了志享，志享坐在原位，一向开朗的他先道出自己心中想对说的话，不禁哽咽，落泪，气氛一片忧伤，仍然聆听此时此刻感性的志享。听了志享的话，我低下头赶紧擦拭眼眶的泪…

接下来大家都说出了心中的一些真心话，虽然气氛凝重，但不失欢笑；大家也给予鼓励，澄清、冰释先前的误会。

可能谈话说到心灵深处，天也不作美，下起毛毛细雨。最后大家欢笑地离开聚会。

也许大多数别班朋友毕业后尽情狂欢唱K吃大餐，但真心话让S1更了解彼此，也更有意义，纪念这一天。

对不起，曾经受到伤害的朋友。

感谢您，5S1同仁！

四条一的日子～毕业

今天是踏入我班的最后一天，我抵达依然充满欢笑的课室，然后与同学合照。不久我们被召到礼堂参与毕业典礼及颁奖仪式。冗长的颁奖仪式后，光华校歌奏起，中五生这一次充满激情引吭高歌，毕竟这是最后一次唱校歌。然后《萍聚》也响起。这首歌，不知为何许多朋友听了开始落泪，我也感到惆怅…

过后我们赶回班上准备毕业呈献，时间仓促。我们回到3A班，依记忆坐回当年各自的座位。然后我们赶到礼堂观赏其他班级的演出，并不时集体站起来鼓掌欢呼。

终于快轮到我们班了，我们在礼堂后准备就绪。成功演出的5S3朋友离开舞台，祝福我们演出顺利。我们在舞台就位，尽情地演出、歌唱Together with are ONE。还有许多感人的画面 =D

短暂而灿烂的几分钟过去了，我们离开后台也祝福5A2朋友的演出。当时离毕业典礼结束的时间不多了，大家除了观赏演出，也拍照留念。

“第47届毕业典礼结束，谢谢！” 我们纷纷走到台上，走来走去、围个大圆圈、抱抱、拍照、落泪、大笑…… 台下，我们与朋友聊天、合照、道别…

下午一时，我们来到曾经的回忆处－美菁家来个毕业聚会。为了解决午餐，我载了嘉玮、章毅等人去买pizza。回来不久食物一扫而空。然后我们进行活动，下午五时围在一起聊天。下午6时30分，我们依依道别。

晚上七时，由于有说不完的话，我和抡温一块儿吃晚餐，他邀我在他家住一宿。当晚，我们与几位朋友煲电话，卧谈在床上。谈话中我们因一时间忆起往日的回忆而兴奋，绵绵细语，有喜有泪… T.T~ 后来太晚了，又过了一整天的感触，我们躺在床上就入眠了。

四条一的日子也许是离别的时候吧。

毕业快乐！

20100908 6M gathering

It was the last holiday before SPM trial and we had 6m's gathering on 8 september at Bukit Cahaya. But we changed the venue to sunway pyramid for very last minute. We watched 3D movie Step Up 3 after having teatime. I like this movie and eugene is crazy for it because of dancing element inside. =D

After that we loitered around and chit-chatted, and did randomness. Some of us were ss-ing XD

And of course I took the photos for us^^

Then we passed by a photo shop. Someone suggested to take the photos together and ss-ing or showing narcissistic. XD

After the photo taking, we let the girls decorated the photos but they "smudged" it especially on polar.

After the photo was printed, we cut the photo in to pieces and each received it =)

We had lunch at mcd. The girls had took many photos of guys.

At 4pm, we left sunway and went back to klang then.

Thanks to eugene for becoming our driver for a day.

I really have a good time with you buddies although just seven buddies.

I hope we have a successful gathering next time!

Wait for me to plan it~!



53rd National Day 2010

I still remember today of one year ago I had visited book fair at KLCC and enjoyed myself there. In this memorable day too, two friends experienced thier sweet moments. Those memories make me think of Form Four really was a honeymoon year.

After I had tuition with grace tay and on the way to return home, I was thinking about Malaysia, either her history, constributions or the news related with nation. I felt proud when thinking of the scene when Father of Malaysia led the crowd in announcing "Merdeka!" 7 times in Merdeka Stadium 53 years ago.

When I was in lower secondary, I also thought that government didn't provide this convenience seldom made benefits to us, and indirectly disliked the motherland. Same thoughts with some of my friends now. But now I realize that we should not label that Malaysia = government. Be rational, we cannot burn flag of Stripes of Glory because we dislike the political party.

I love Malaysia, just because I stay and grow here.

马来西亚并不代表政府，我们生于斯，长于斯，对祖国大地始终都有归宿感。祖国利益高于一切，与个人命运息息相关，紧密相连。政府只不过执政机构，在民主制度下，它的存在并不永恒。
