it's the end...

it's officially the end of my training...

=(

or should it be... =)

end of a chapter...

2 hour and 30 minutes more and my industrial training is coming to an end... it means much more than just the end of my training... it also means that i'll be going into my final year of studies...

will i further my studies after that? i don't know.

but if i don't further my studies, this will be my final year of classes. final year as a student. actually, i dun even have one year. i have about 8 months...

i'll try not to think of that now... back to my work... =)

final week

i'm into my final week of my industrial training in penang with agilent tech. more precisely, i've got 5 days left.

the past 3 months have definitely flew by. now that i'll be going back to the life i have been so accustomed with in kl, there is a hint of sadness in my heart. not sad really. it's more of a heavy hearted emotion. i've grown comfortable with life in penang. comfortable in the speed of life, comfortable in what i do everyday.

i think there is more adjustment required than anticipated when i return to kl. back to the hectic life of kl.

last 16 predictions

these are my predictions for those who will make it to the round of sixteen. feel free to place bets on these teams but if you lose any money, dun blame me... =)

actually, i would like to see teams like japan and the usa make it through to the next round as well. but i dun see japan making progress past brazil or australia. and usa definately could not compete with the likes of czech republic and italy. i'll have to wait till the 23rd of june to see how much i'm right (or wrong) with my predictions....

Group A
Germany
Ecuador

Group B
England
Sweden

Group C
Argentina
Holland

Group D
Portugal
Mexico

Group E
Czech Republic
Italy

Group F
Brazil
Australia

Group G
France
South Korea

Group H
Spain
Ukraine

ps: teams in italic i predict to win their respective groups.

lets hear the three lions roar!

one more day to end the 4 year wait. one more day to the greatest cup competition. one more day to the most hyped and anticipated football tournament. one more day to 1 whole month of football. =)

before the world cup kicks off, i just want to state that i'll be backing england all the way! i would've supported malaysia if one day they could make it through. anyway, i know england has their chances magnified by the press and ignorant supporters like me. i know they dun match the silky skills of brazil. but what the heck. football matches are always full of surprises. and you can't deny that this has got to be the most talented english team for some time now. so keeping my fingers crossed, i predict england vs brazil in the final! it could happen, right? by then, england would have to get by argentina, holland, germany or portugal. so i guess if they can beat those teams, they would stand a pretty good chance of making it to the semi or even the final.

ps: i would also like to see brazil, holland and portugal doing well. oh yeah, and definitely japan as well. =)

just for the record

06:06:06 @ 06/06/06

i just wanted to write something at this time and date to keep a record of this moment. some believes it to be the end of the world while some believes it to be the luckiest moment. whichever it is, the day did not start too bright for me and i'm not dead yet, so i guess it's just superstitous beliefs.

anyway, i've been away for some time as my training here at agilent has kept me surprisingly busy. and since i've got no internet connection at my temporary home now, i do not really have access to update my blog. a lot has happened though in the past 2 months but i will find the time to update it. slowly.

back to work.
