Within These Wall

Its nearly two years since I graduated from SBU or formerly known as Bukit Bintang Girls School...

Some of you might ask why a boy like me graduating from a girl school...

To answer that, SBU is actually a co-ed school formed in 2003 and I'm the first batch of boys admitted to this school...after BBGS was demolished in 2001 to make way for the development of Pavilion KL which is a majestic mall for shopping...

During these break, in a serendipity I played some of the videos I made using Windows Movie Maker few months back and I listened to 'Within These Wall'...

The following is the lyrics of the song:

Within These Wall

If through these walls, we can hear the stories long ago
Those BBGS dreams their hopes and more
If through these walls, we can see the days before
We'll see the joy, the rise and growth
Every smile that greets hello

Names may change and faces pass
But the tune's the same we'll make it last
We'll learn these words before they come to pass
BBGS in my heart, ten decades we've grown to love
Add a hundred more, my heart will still belong
Within these cherished walls

Here on these walls, I found meanings of love
To conquer fears to wipe the sorrow tears
Here I learnt of friends, learnt to give a helping hand
And when I'm lost, they'll guide my way with God's will till the end...

Names may change and faces pass
But the tune's the same we'll make it last
We'll learn these words before they come to pass
Within these walls we've built our lives
For a hundred years it stayed with us
Let us keep it standing strong...

Hope that the school spirit of BBGS/SBU last eternally...

I'm back Again!!!

I safely reached my house 6.30pm last Friday after three hours of bus journey, 15 minutes of LRT journey and almost two hours trapped in my dad's vehicle due to jam traffic jam...

I'll be here till the 19th September...

Tomorrow will be my first day of my part-time job...

Urhmm, you might ask when was my last time doing part-time job...

To answer you that question, its a week after my SPM or to be precise, its December 2008 till February 2009...

Some might ask why I get a job during this short break....

Its simple, I'm gaining some money in order for myself to get a second-hand car, most probably a Proton Iswara or a Proton Wira....

Besides doing part-time job, I'm going to complete some of my tasks and assignments during this break...

If time is sufficient, I might meet up some of my high school friends before the fly of to start their studies abroad...

For those(friends) who wanted to meet me during this break, please do meet me on 17th and 18th as I'm free on these two days...

J.Z.Wong

Balik Kampung Mood!!!

With or without realising, I actually completed seven out of fourteen++ weeks of lecture which is half of the semester...

This means, mid-semester break is around the corner...

Finally, its time for me to lay back and relax my mind from any academic deals...

Besides that, its also a time for me to work part-time at my mom's restaurant in order for me to gain some money to pay the deposit of a second-hand Proton Iswara that I wanted to buy end of this year and the money for my vacation after my finals ...

Secrets!!!

When I first downloaded this song last year, I felt that it is not special at all...

But my mindset change upon hearing it when my housemate was playing it via his laptop few weeks back...

I asked him, "What meaningful song you are listening?". He replied me,"Its Secrets by OneRepublic, the OTS for Sorcerer's Apprentice."

I was like ROFL...

I did not notice such nice song before....

I turn ecstatic when I listen to this song....

Secrets (OneRepublic)

I need another story
Something to get off my chest
My life gets kinda boring
Need something that I can confess
Til' all my sleeves are stained red
From all the truth that I've said
Come by it honestly I swear
Thought you saw wink, no
I've been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

My god, amazing how we got this far
It's like we're chasing all those stars
Who's driving shiny big black cars
And everyday I see the news
All the problems that we could solve
And when a situation rises
Just write it into an album
Singing straight, too cold
I don't really like my flow, no, so


Tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame
Got no family I can blame
Just don't let me disappear
I'mma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear
Something that were like those years
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away
This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics never jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away
All my secrets away, All my secrets away

My First Encounter at Bukit Gambang Water Park...

Although I'm in Gambang for a year, I never entered Bukit Gambang Water Park before...

If you considered my attempt of passing by, I did it on numerous occasions...

Last Friday, 27th of August 2010, I went to Bukit Gambang Water Park for the first time with a group of friends that have been there before...

Our trip started at 9.20 a.m....

Guess what?

During the journey, the vehicle that I'm riding ran out of diesel...

Luckily the gas station is a stone throw away...

Without wasting our time, we requested help from the other car to get RM3.50 worth of diesel to start up the car to enable us to have our breakfast at Gambang Town before refueling at Gambang Town...

Sharp 10 o' clock we arrived at Bukit Gambang Water Park...

We entered the water park around 10.20 a.m.

First, we played the wave pool and followed by the mat of free-fall...

Then we played the dark tunnel slide and the amazing 6-person tube slide...

At 3pm I changed my clothes as I'm do not want to play under the rain...

Some of them played under the rain...

We departed from BGWP at 5.30pm before heading to E-Garden to have our dinner.

My dinner was Pork Ribs with Rice and Barley as the drink...

Looking Forward for Such Event in the Future:

J.Z.Wong

Hungry Ghost Festival...

Tonight, the gate of the underworld will be opened for our good 'Friends' for them to roam our human world...

Now I'm playing Metta (Loving Kindness)...

Hope this will allow them to feel peace...

Insomnia!!!

Its 3 o' clock in the morning and I'm still not sleeping yet!!!

I think its due to the inability of me to clear my mind t allow myself to sleep...

Well this may be my first post for my third semester...

During this five weeks, I'm kind off busy till I forgotten to update my blog...

Please be patient while waiting me to update my blog...

Is there anyone that can help me to ease my problem of unable to clear my mind like Dave in the Sorcerer's Apprentice when he was told by Balthazar...

J.Z.Wong

I desire you HTC Desire!!!

Yesterday, Maxis had just done a soft launch for HTC Desire...
Maxis is the only telco company to have the privilege to sell the fastest (for time being) Android enabled phone one month earlier compare to other telco.

Too bad Maxis does not offer packages for prepaid users like me...

The picture above is the package for Maxis users to get themselves this beast.














I'm eyeing to get myself one end of this year if there will be no new phones that can bet it...

Android rocks....

Hope that it will have Android v2.2 Froyo updates....and packages for Hotlink users

After Waiting for Ages about the Results

The highlighted is the list of my house mates for my third and fourth semester in UMP...

This is my results for my second semester...

I'm screwed up for chemistry as I'm weak in Analytical Chemistry...

The ratio of Organic Chemistry:Analytical Chemistry is 3:2...

If not because of Organic Chemistry, I will not get an A-...

Luckily I scored well in my Organic Chemistry...

Finally Its Holidays...

I think that its been a while that I did not post things to my blog...

As you can see that I'm involved with Chemical Engineering Students' Society (CHEST) as the Head of Publicity and Publication Unit...

That's not the sole reason why I'm not blogging for a month, having idea drain also causes me not to blog...

Finally my Finals for my second semester has ended last Thursday and it significance the start of my holidays...

After going through a light and easy semester, I must brush up my weaknesses during this break besides getting myself a driving license and some cash from part-time job...

If I do not do that, I will not have a light and easy semester ahead as I'll be learning Thermodynamics, Engineering Mechanics, Material and Energy Balances and Electrical Technology which requires plenty of calculus...

Differentiate and Integrate...

As usual there will be Engineering Lab session and English for Communication for next semester....

Besides learning subjects mentioned above, I'm going to learn Technopreneurship and Islamic Institution....

During this resting moment, I'm looking forward for gathering, reunion etc. with friends...

Please do invite me if there's any...

A Joyous 'Family' Trip

On the 13th of March, I went to Cherating with 19 other friends that I met while organising the UMP CNY '10 Event.

The bunch of friends were the members of Food & Beverages unit along with our beloved 'mother' aka our head unit, Ong Huoy Ying...

We went there by using the chartered bus offered by our university's management.

Our journey started at 10.30am...

Throughout the journey, there were songs singing, throwing the beach ball in the bus and photo session in the bus...

At noon, we stopped at Berserah to have our lunch at KFC Berserah.

Then we continued our journey till we reached to the apartment we rented at Pantai Sungai Ular...

The place we rented is Sanctuary Resort Cherating.

We placed all our belongings and have a rest after few hours of bus ride before getting ourselves wet at the beach.

We had a great time at the beach, especially playing with the sand and covering our assistant head unit with sand.

Then, we dip ourselves in the swimming pool and we had a water polo game there.

That evening, we had steamboat as our dinner.

Although the steamboat prepared is not as grand as the one my actual family normally do annually in Cameron Highlands, its a very enjoyable one as its prepared by most of our 'family' members.

This is what you call the importance of body chemistry!

That night, we played poker card games which include big two.

We also watch Woo Hoo.

After wacthing Woo Hoo, our 'family' was split into two groups, one having ghost story telling session and one having their great time with big two.

At 1am in the morning, we prepared for our next activity but it is failed by the weather as it started to rain when we set up our BBQ set.

We postponed the activity to 9am.

It might be a joke to you to see people doing BBQ session under the scorching sun but you must believe me as we did ours under the mighty sun.

At noon we packed our belonging before departing back to our campus.

I hope that we can be a 'family' forever without looking at distance and boundaries.

Our spirit will continue.

F&B Forever

Busy Weekend: Part 3

As early as 20 minutes past seven, I woke up to get ready for Briged Siswa's event, gotong royong.

The bus departed from UMP to Kg. Pelak, Pekan at eight o'clock.

The journey took half an hour.

At there we were greeted by the villagers warmly...

After having breakfast we were divided into four groups.

My group were assigned to clean up the cemetery area.

I took about two hours for my group along with the villagers to clean up the cemetery.

12.30pm I took my lunch, I was served Ikan Patin with rice and cabbage masak lemak and siren (syrup + orange) in malay as si for sirap and ren for oren as my drink.

Then we left the village for UMP at 2pm and reached my campus at a quarter to three.

Then I continued my work at Block W to wrap the remainding hampers...

Then at five in the evening, I went to the carnival to continue assisting the carnival unit till 9pm...

Then, I went to block W to continue doing the last hamper wrapping...

Then at midnight, our unit were asked to help the 'logistic' unit to shift the things from the square in front of the girls hostel to Block W...

Our job is done at two in the morning before having a briefing session regarding the last day till three in morning.

J.Z.Wong

Busy Weekend: Part 2

Normally when it's a public holiday, I'll be getting up late (minutes before noon) as I watched movies via my laptop till late night but its differs for Maulidur Rasul as I woke up as early as nine o' clock in the morning. With just merely five hours of sleep, I get myself ready to help the carnival unit to prepare the set-ups as they were lacking of members.

My work is done after 2pm then I had myself only a two hours of rest as I'm needed to rush back to assist the carnival unit till 9pm...

Although I'm required to assist them till 9pm only but I stayed to help them till 10pm.

At 10pm, I got myself moved to Block W to wrap several hampers as ordered by our beloved head unit of food and beverages.

Work is only done when it's twelve...

Then we had our own unit's post mortem before having one with the program director of CNY '10 event.

Things were settled at two o' clock in the morning.

J.Z.Wong

Busy Weekend: Part 1

It was the starting of my busy weekend...

It's the eve of Friday...

Normally, the eve of Friday will be my most relaxing night...

But its different for 25th of February 2010...

I'm having a test for Organic Chemistry on that night, then I need to rush myself to meet the head of food for the CNY Carnival then to CHEST(Chemical Engineeing Society) to do the banner for the Maulidur Rasul celebration.

At half past 10, I went to the main lecture hall a.k.a WDKU1 to attend the general meeting of CNY '10 celebration....

I'm stranded in the meeting for nearly two hours of nothing as there were no proper coordination between the units due to the last minute changes that were caused by several unwanted factors.

After the meeting around minutes past midnight, I'm required to rush myself to the square in front of the girl's hostel to set-up the carnival as logistic unit was 'lacking' of 'members'.

My service is done for that particular morning at a quarter to three in the morning.

Light = Portable or Less Function?

Look at my beautiful babes.

On the right is my new HP Mini 210 and Fujitsu L1010 on the right.

Well, I'm sure that most of you will ask me why have two computers.

To answer that question netbook is for portability and notebook is for performance but not as good as desktop.

After a week using my mini.

I feel that you should get yourself a netbook if you can afford it.

Honestly its really portable.

About a kilogram of mass, need not to bring bulky notebook to Starbucks or McDonald's to surf the net.

But if you are using heavy softwares such as Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Autodesk AutoCAD 2010, get yourself a notebook first then get a netbook.

I watched a few movies that I downloaded before coming back to KL for the Chinese New Year break, guess what?

The video played well like a portable DVD player.

No drop of quality if you are playing the video from the hard disk drive.

But there is a fall back when I played Cloudy with a Chance of Meatball via my USB Flash Drive, the rendering of the video drop causes the frames per second (fps) to drop from 30fps to 15-20fps.

My advice, transfer the video to you hard disk before watching it.

Using Skype is fine as I'm given two choice, using the Skype in my Windows or Skype in HP Quick Web interface.

I can log in to my Skype without entering my Windows.

Surfing the net also can be done without entering the Windows.

This reduce the time of getting yourself on the net as entering the Windows take at least half of a minute, the HP Quick Web interface is ready to be use as you turn on the netbook like your PDA just without touchscreen.

In a nut shell, get yourself a netbook if you want to surf the net with portability and less fuss.

Welcoming the Roaring Year of Tiger

Sorry for the late publish for this post.

Before I continue, I would like to wish all Malaysians and Chinese around the world Happy Chinese New Year.

Besides that, I would like to wish you all Happy Valentines including singles as Valentines is meant for day of love not day of couples.

I reached KL on the 12th February 2010. It took four and a half hours from Gambang to Pekeliling as there were a few distraction that causes the delay.

Among the distractions were the present of an irresponsible passenger that took extra 45 minutes of break at a Rest and Relax stop and a few more that I shall not discuss here as it is very sensitive to talk about.

This year was my family's first time having reunion dinner at my new house.

The dinner was held on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Although it was a simple dinner with merely nine person, but we had a great time.

As usual there will be prawns and sea cucumbers as they significant happiness in Cantonese.

This year we got extra large prawns and sea cucumbers as my dad did not went to the wet market of Pudu to get it but from the jetty in Mersing.

The prawns we had this year is four times larger than what we had last year but at the same price.

Besides that, mom cooked me my favourite vegetable dish, Hong Kong Choi Sam with Shitake Mushrooms and few slices of canned abalone.

There were also my family's favourite on the table, Pei Pa Roasted Duck and Emperor's Chicken.

We had grass jelly and yee sang as our dessert.

On the first day of Year of Tiger, my family did some prayers to the ancestor (a Chinese culture not Buddhist culture) before going to my maternal grandmother's house.

After going to my grandma's house, we went to my maternal granduncle's house to pay respect since he's the eldest in terms of position though he is a decade younger than my grandma.

There I had fresh oysters, salmon sashimi, roasted lamb and stir fried beef as my main course.

I took some fried mee hoon as starter. Then I had some Ice Kacang as my dessert as I do not take alcohol. My brother get himself some red wine and cocktail as his dessert.

Then we went to my paternal granduncle's house.

There, all my father's relatives gathered at there including Uncle Andrew from Melbourne except my aunt which is staying in Kota Kinabalu.

That night we went to my grandaunt's house to have dinner.

That's all for my reunion dinner and my first day of new year.

Almost the End of the First Half of Semester II 2009/2010

After seven or six weeks of classes, Chinese New Year is nearing!!!

But before that, I need work hard for a week because the season of test has arrived.

Maths II and Grammar Test.

Just sat for Computer Application yesterday and Engineering Drawing a fortnight ago.

Well, its also time for plenty of assignments.

Not just only that, I'm just been elected as a student representative for my program to my Faculty's Student Society as an Exco for Publicity. As the new member of the committee I'm required to scout for new members to work with me and prepare a report on changes should be done to CHEST aka Chemical Engineering Society of UMP by next Thursday night as there is going to be a meeting on Thursday night.

These are the thing that I should face before going for a week holiday.

I'm craving for Yee Sang.

Besides that, I'm going to get my brand new HP mini 210 when I returned home as it is scheduled to be delivered on this Monday's afternoon.

A Distinquish Talk by a CEO.

Initially, I was forced to attend a talk by the

Chief Executive Officer of our National Car Manufacturer, Tengku Tan Sri Mahaleel. I'm required to attend this event because we need to obtain some

marks for Briged Siswa.

The title of the talk is, 'Human Resource Management'.

The whole talk is being carried on in English,

which I expected from a CEO would do.

I enjoyed his talk especially his point of view

about the changes that we need to make.

As he mentioned, a country progress needs to have changes in

human capital not physical changes

such as economy.

To have change we must not have resistance towards changes without leaving our own morals

and Asian qualities.

Besides that, I do agree that we must not simply choose a leader

or an employee based own a short period of

time.

He or she might perform well in the interview but might not in the future.

As Rome is not built in a day, we must spend several years of

devised research to change the nation along with its citizen.

This is what most of the governments in everywhere are lacking off

which includes our nation.

I enjoyed the talk and felt that my precious time is not wasted as

most talk does.

I hope that we will have more such talks in the future with a

proper seating in the Sports Complex as I'm struggling to seat comfortably.

Mini 210.

Yesterday I just signed-up for the Streamyx Uni Cool Pack as stated in the 2010 Budget.

I'm not fond of the wi-fi nor the internet since my hostel area is equipped with an awesome internet speed up to 100Mbps with average 30% of its actual ability.

I'm actually into this new HP Mini 210 as my secondary computer after my Fujitsu L1010.

The RRP is RM1349 but I'm paying RM1200 to get it as this package requires me to pay RM50 per month for two years which cost me RM1200 along with 384kbps internet for my uncle since I used his house's line to apply this package and an TM Hotzone ID that enable me to surf the net if the server of my campus is down.

Besides I'm getting 50 legal licensed songs per month from hypptunes.

I hope that I will be able to see my mini when I return home for the upcoming Chinese New Year celebration.

With this, I do not need to bring my hot buddy to see my lecturers to view the slides that I want to discuss about.

This does not mean that I do not want my L1010 because this mini will not be able to allow me to run Microsoft Visio, Auto-Cad or Aspen.

To all local university students grab a unit of yours while the 100,000 units of Mini 210 is gone.

All you need is your Student ID, letter of entry to your university, I.C. and an endorsement to prove that you are a first year or second year student of that particular institute.

Confusion of Words Used by Malaysians.

Last week we were informed by the press about the chaos happened in our nation due to misunderstanding of the usage of a word.
Few churches were being attacked by unknown parties due to the decission of the High Court on the 31st of December 2009 to allow non-muslim to use the word 'Allah'.
Here, I would like to comment as a non-muslim and a non-christian.
I'm confused about the definition stated in Oxford Dictionary.
As stated in the book, the word 'Allah' means God in Arabic and it is first used by the Arabians since the exixtance of Abraham by his followers.
As we know that, Abraham existed before the era of Islamic Civilisation as stated in our textbooks.
If the word 'Allah' is not allowed to be used by all, I think that the word Tuhan cannot substitute it as it means 'The Lord'. So what should say in malay when it comes to 'The Lord God', Tuhan Tuhan?According to the malay metaphore, it shows plurality in the phrase and it might caused confusion to the public that Christianity practices polytheism. In this era, no religion practices polytheism which includes Christianity.
In my opinion, the word should be allowed to be used by all God believers but I'm not in a state of oppossing our muslim friends rights to exclusive it.
If we want to exclusive it for muslims, we should ask the linguistic experts to invent a new word to substitute the word 'Allah', so the new word can be used by non-muslims.
Besides, I heard some words like 'bin' and 'binti' should be only used by muslims.
Here again, according to Kamus Dewan, 'bin' means 'anak lelaki kepada' or son of in Arabic same goes for 'binti' as for daughter.
Futhermore, Arabic names like Hussein also being used by non-muslim which includes a prominent leader, Barrack Hussein Obama. This does not means his muslim.
In conclusion, we must not make so much of fuss over words that can disrupt our nation's peace.
Thus a new word should be invented to substitute the word 'Allah'. If we want to preach 1Malaysia and unity we must not add oil to fire as history proved us that unity is important for nation's interest.

10th Year of the Second Milenium

This will be my first post of this year.

Before that, I would like to wish all of you Happy New Year.

I hope that is not too late for it.

Since I started my new semester, I will be informing you more about my life as a university student.

Thus, stay with me.

I hope that this year will be a year like no other year that will allow me to excel my life.

May all of be blessed this year and the year after 2010.
