I'm Employed

I'm currently working at IDT as a Product/Test Engineer. This is my first ever job in my entire life. The first week in the company was very relaxing. What I've done in my first week at work was simply watch, learn and do a little bit of hands-on on testing IC. But there were simply too much to learn and remember in my first week there. I hope I can pick up my pace on the learning process so that I would be able to do my jobs smoothly and independently in coming weeks. It's a new beginning for me and I'm looking forward to find the true joy of working life...

1st Interview

This is a little story about my first ever interview for a job. What to say? I may say that it was a below average performance. I can't say that I did not do my preparation a night before. I did do my revision on a few technical stuff about engineering. But what I have ignore is the detail about the company. The interviewer just keep asking me what I know about their company, their products, the job in the industry, what is my responsibility as an engineer, what do I expect from their company, How do you relate your academic results with the job you may going to get, what's the job scope of production engineer...etc. For someone who are experienced, those questions are definitely just a piece of cake. However, a newbie like me and it was a first interview...those questions are real tough for me!

I'm pretty worry abt remaining jobless until the end of the year. So I guess I simply have to step my game up for the next interview. Good luck to myself!!

I'm Home and here comes the emo feeling

Four months oversea journey ended now. Once again, stepping on the ground of Malaysia, I smell... FOOD!! M'sia surely has the most diverse local delicacies and cuisine, I can't deny it. Laksa, Prawn Mee, Jawa Mee, Cendol etc. those food are simply irresistible. Now, my primary mission is aimed on those food.


The next mission is......looking for a JOB >.<
I was amazed about how time flies. The 22 years of my existence in this world has become part of the history. I am now a young energetic man...ready to go...prepared to venture into new things - the job and the future. Speaking of which, the future is quite obscure for me unless I manage overcome the only barrier in my life. I just don't have the guts. I have fear and I afraid my fear has already became a phobia, as it haunts me in my dream occasionally.

Looking for a helping hand, striving for acceptance...I guess it will turn out to be a futile attempt after all. So, no use struggling, no use being vulnerable, no use looking for sympathy. Because nobody would ever understand. Even if it does, it takes very long time...

No matter what, I just have to hang on and be strong....


I wish there's a time

where I don't need another perfect line
don't care if critics ever jump in line
and I'm gonna give all my secrets away...

72 hrs trip to Scotland

I was still sick while on the trip to Scotland. I have no choice because I had paid the fees already. Having runny nose on the 1st day at Scotland and I was sneezing all the time at Edinburgh. Quite suffering at the moment but yet an interesting journey. We went to few places including Edinburgh, Inverness, Urquhart Castle, Loch Ness, Fort William, Fort Augustus, Glenfinnan Viaduct, and Glasgow.

Edinburgh: 12 hours in Edinburgh for me is quite boring but the city is simply beautiful.


Loch Ness: Loch Ness Monster !? I don't believe it at all...and I hate legend..


Fort Augustus: We went there just to see the stupid canal locks.



Glenfinna Viaduct: Stunning view...and it's the place to see the steam train that appear in a scene in Harry Potter movie.



Glasgow: Nice shopping experience there =D





p/s: been very busy recently so i have to write a very brief post.

from Whitby to Livepool

Apparently I've been slacking on my posts. I realized I haven't posted since 12th July. It become almost impossible to post on a regular basis while the assignments are pilling up. However, I manage to spare a moment of leisure under the pressure of my heavy workload. It was pretty nice having my day trip to a fishing port of Whitby. Walking around, sight-seeing and chewing on the popular MagPie Fish n' Chips...what a wonderful experience I had there.

I like blue Sea.....

...Blue sky...

...and the beaches...love everything..

this is Whitby abbey...please ignore the silly and a-bit-scary looking smile of mine


No doubt, shopping is another way to put the stress behind you. That's exactly the reason I went to Livepool One and Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlets to spend my money!! Trust me I'm a total shopaholic when I lose myself. Anyway, shopping in UK is a whole new experience for me, because the tempting sales is really cheap!! It's cheaper than what I normally see in Malaysia. For me, clothing stores in Msia have never had a decent sales all along. They are really not generous and kiam siap on the price reduction. I become even more puzzled about ppl calling it a 'MEGAsales' when there were sales in Msia...@_@!?!? Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna miss shopping in UK once I go back to my home country.

As shown in picture...we were having lunch at RED HOT

OMG the Mussel in Mongolian Sauce is really really delicious...I had 10 pieces of it...I wish I could have more!!
