FINAL YEAR PROJECT

Hello loves!

I was wondering on what subject or which major should I focused on for my final year. I really have no idea where is my strength and where is my weakness. Is it Structure, Material, Environment, Hydraulic, Geotechnic, or what? I really have no idea which to choose and what to do for my final year project which will start this coming semester.

Well, I thought I want to choose Buillding or Construction before but as the registration opens for the majors, the quota is full within few minutes only and I don't even got the chance and finally I choose Structure. That is my major.

For my Final Year Project (FYP), my supervisor is major in structure, seismic and vibration. So, I think, why don't I give it a try and do my very best in any of these 3. All of it sounds interesting. Up until now, I don't have any figure or idea for my FYP's title yet. I thought I want to do something related to seismic, but what can I do? Seismic occurs in the building? because of? earthquake? but in this country (Malaysia), the probability for earthquake to happen is very low. If there is any, it is just the side effect from Phillipine's or Indonesia's earthquake. Vibration? on what and how? I thought of the vibration from the piling works, but end up with my mind diverts to Geotechnic's field. haha my mind is really in a mess and I haven't make any decision yet. I just don't want to feel regret or having problems in the middle of the project and then requires me to change the title or even the whole project. That would waste a lot of time, money, energy and many more. 

So dear friends, would you like to help me on brainstorming the ideas for my FYP? your ideas are most welcome and appreciated with lots of thanks and love. God bless~

Practical

Aloha~ 

Time passed by and I was just realized that within few days more, it had been a month that I already do my internship. I'm doing my 10 weeks practical now at one of the Government's agency. 4weeks done and there are still 6 weeks to go. Wondering how would it be...

BEGINNING~

At first, I was not planning to do my practical for this semester break, but after I heard the rumors that we need to wait for about a year for convocation if we do our practical after our very last semester, than I quickly do my resume and et cetera and escaped one of my lecture just to post my resume to any company or even the Government agencies. Thanks God, I got the reply from this Government agency on the very last minute. Well, few days before the final examination finish is considered as very last minute cause the internship starts right after my last paper (excluding the weekend as the weekend is my travelling time back to hometown). I don't want to delay the convocation cause I need to work and pay back all the study loans which is keep on increasing haha...

Meeting on site

DURING~

Practical? First few days is kinda nerve breaking cause never be in any Government offices before and can't imagine how would it be.Is it hard?busy? bored? tiring? so many question popped in my mind and still, I need to faced it... ALONE...cause I'm doing my internship ALONE. First day, report duty and bla bla bla..I was the only practical student during that time for the Building section but now I already have friends. There are 2 more practical student come and report duty on my 3rd week. During my Diploma's internship, I learned a lot of basics and now, my Bachelor's internship, I'm now more to paper works and how to manage the projects. Slightly different but in the end, it was still in Civil Engineering works. More to paper works, managing and meetings doesn't means that I didn't learnt the basics or anything new on site, I do and besides, I also refreshing the previous knowledge and gained more experience especially for sick projects, for example on how to tackle the problems or how to prevent the unforeseen problems to happen.

Since the internship is not reach the end yet so no comment for this part yet. Hehe...hoping for the happy ending (^_^)

All The Best Friends! 

PURPOSE

hello there....

i was thinking of everything that we are doing everyday....

have any idea on what am i trying to say?

well...what is our purpose on doing this and that... i'm sure that most or everyone of us had ever heard of "there is a purpose on why are you doing that" or anything related.

School, college, university 

why are you entering those place? study or gain knowledge? how? attend the class? but then why don't you pay attention in the class so that you could gain the knowledge given by the teacher/lecturer. Why did you keep on texting(sending sms), day dreaming, doing other stuff like chit chatting with friends or anything it is and you even dare to skip the class (well i was just planning to skip tomorrow's class actually hehe)

Church 

What is your purpose on attending the mass especially on Sunday? Spending time with our Lord God? Expressing your gratitude on the blessings upon you? having a conversation with God? then why did you dress improperly(i myself might not dress perfectly but at least i'm trying not to wear any revealing attire), did not pay any respect to all the flows of the mass, did not paying any attention by thinking of any other matters, talking with friends until disturbing others, texting, playing games on the phone or whatever it is?

Hanging out with friends and family

at times, i'm sure that you did go out just to hang out and having some fun with your friends and family. why? simple answer...just wanna tighten the relationship bond and having a quality time with the one you care about. if you go out with them,but then you keep on busy playing games, texting with whoever it is, your body is there but your mind is lingering around or left at home or where ever it is...then what is the point meeting your family and friend? where is the quality time?where is the fun if everyone is 'busy'?

well...all this stuff is all personally and originally from me...not to insult anyone,but it is just from my own observation. PEACE :)

i love candles~

 

The pic is kinda dark cause i capture it very early in the morning and i'm too lazy to switch on the light hehe....but i really love the view..the silhouette, the candle light, the angel statue, the Crucifix and everything...awww i really love candle...

finally i'm back

IT'S NOT YOUR JOB

Don't condemn each other anymore.Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not put an obstacle in another Christian's path. (ROMANS 14:13)

How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct.

Marcus frowned and twitched in his seat as more feedback blared from the house speakers during Sunday worship service.

"Just listen to how bad that sounds", he whispered to Heather, his sister. "I can do a much better job than that."

Problems with the sound system had progressively gotten worse for the past three Sundays. That's when Jack took over as the new sound technician.

"What made Reverend Starnes think Jack could do that job?" Marcus wondered aloud to his sister. "That guy doesn't know the first thing about sound".

"And I suppose you do?" Heather responded.

"What do you mean by that?" Marcus said.

"You know I worked in sound at our former church. I practically ran the sound board by myself when Don was not there."

"Then why didn't you step forward when Reverend Starnes asked for a qualified person to volunteer and help out with the sound?" Heather asked.

"I had better things to do," Marcus said

"What's more important than giving your God-given talent back to God," Heather snapped
Marcus didn't answer immediately.

It was his sister talking, but he knew the words were from God. He could tell by the way he felt inside. He knew at that instant what to do.

"I'll be back in a minute," Marcus whispered.

"Where are you going?"

"To see if I can give Jack a hand with the sound".

God gives each of us special gifts and talents.When we use them to help others, it pleases Him.

Lord, You have graciously gifted me with talents and skills so that I can bless others. Help me to be unselfish in sharing those talents. Amen.

This story is not originally mine because I read it from a book entitled "God's hand on my shoulder"

I had been touched when I read this story and it reminds me on what happens here.(the church which I always go) <~ don't wanna describe more...the story is more or less alike with what happen here. *sad*

slimming down or keep fit?

hello there! Just out of the blue,I was thinking of my own body...I'm not sure weather my body is categorized as slim or fit or chubby or plum or anything else it would be. Well...recently there is someone who always called me Chubby...oh that's sad...or should I be happy with it? I have no idea...here is the picture when that person starts calling me Chubby...

Am I that chubby? oh my God~

or is it because of the hair cut?hihi (^_^)

suddenly I feel like doing exercise 'again'.Just a simple exercise such as pumping,sit-ups or squat only (since I didn't bring home my sports shoe a.k.a at my friend's house). It feels like it had been years that I didn't take care of my fitness. erm well,I was an athlete before but since I had my operation (August 2003), my active life had been reduced and then it stops.I can't blame others on this because it is my own fault that I didn't try to maintain it after the recovery hehehe... to be honest...I miss those days...I mean,the moments when I'm very active in sports and my health is great and my body is fit.( I mean, with muscles not with fats! hehe).This is me today...

Chubby?

I seriously think that I should back on track...having a healthy life with exercise. I hope I will maintain it and not losing it or skipping it again hehe...
Wish me luck!  (^_^)
