i'm back... but my posts will be far and few... right now, i'm typing my blog in a cyber cafe (i feel kinda old and left out... everyone is playing something i've never even seen or heard about before... damn...) this is something i never thought i would do... blogging from a cyber cafe i mean... anyway, here i am and this is the reason why.... my finals ended last week (30/03/2006)and from this week onwards (03/04/2006), for a duration of 12 weeks, i'll be away on industrial training/ vacation training/ internship. as i have posted previously, i was hoping my industrial training will not be in kl. and guess wat? i got my wish! half of it anyway. at first, i was hoping to get a placement with schlumberger. and after going through 4 interviews, i had high hopes on a positive outcome. i really did. however, the fourth interview came a bit too late (24/03/06) i guess. so till now, i'm still waiting for the result of that interview. this leaves me with the only choice i had - agilent technologies. probably i shouldn't put it to sound so bad especially considering agilent technologies is a pretty good company to get attached to for industrial training. or so i've heard. i'll give my point of view at the end of my 12 weeks here.
anyway, right now, i'm renting a place with 3 other frens. it's a pretty small place with only 2 rooms but it only costs 500 bucks and it's fully furnished. with the rates in penang, i guess we can't ask for more. after a couple of days, the house is alright. not too bad. pics will be up soon.
i guess that's all i have to say about my industrial training for now. i've only been here for 2 days so nothing much has happened. all i can say is that i'm looking forward to the coming 12 weeks - this is my first time away from home for so long.
bout my previous sem, i'm glad it's over. i had a huge, huge problem with one of my lecturer. i'm pretty close to hating him. anyway, i'm glad that class is over and done with. i'm planning to write a complain letter bout him though - he tricked us in the final exam by providing the wrong formula in the formula sheet. if u want us to memorize the formula, dun give us the formula sheet! it's that simple... ok, i admit it... i hate him...
other than that, the other subjects were pretty fine... several competitions kept me busy... oh yeah, two competitions left me disappointed (einic 06 and phillips young challenge 06) but another one (indec 06) gave me a silver medal! =) actually i joined all 3 competitions with the same product and the silver medal is nothing major really. coz indec (invention & innovation design competition)is in it's first year and it is organized by uniten for uniten. so it's kinda like einic but solely focused on uniten's students.
and there is one ongoing competition - robocon 06. the actual date is on the 5th of may so the work is being continued by other members. i am planning to return to kl during the weekends to cont working on the competition. but obviously i can't do that every weekend, so i'll just have to wait and see how everything goes.
i guess this will have to end here. it's getting pretty late and i'm still not used to waking up at 7 for work.
ps: the cyber cafe rate here is really cheap - 1.50 per hour so i think i'll be doing this often if i'm not too lazy. =)

Hey there, greetings from UK. Hope that you are settling in well in Penang.
As for me, my absolute finals is in one week's time. Wooohooo! ANd that's not because i like exams, it's more of an expression for my near-liberalisation from undergraduate studies.
Do tell us how your internship goes? See ya.
hey... it's been so long since i last heard from you... so when are u coming back home?
i'll try to keep this blog as updated as i can... =)
