Final Year Countdown

It is the 1st December today, and the calendar marks 45 days more to go to the end of the semester; the end of my study years. Going to kindergarten at 5, and after 18 years of non-stop schooling, I am now marking the final 45 days of the book-homework-assignments age! And after this, book-homework-assignments definition will have an absolute change in meaning in my next stage of life, insyaallah.

Can't wait for January 15 to come, and be home for good! :)

Save the Monkey!

Yes. Am stealing seconds from the running-out time to let the world know that my mind is now half sound.

It's the 9th week but we're not even 50% completed with the FDP!

I don't even know what the heck I'm learning in ARS (Advanced Reservoir Simulation) class but the test will be on next Tuesday!

IKS (Islamic Knowledge and Sciences) project seems fun and interesting but how can I complete the project with the other 2 incomplete? :(

I just can't manage myself for this final semester! I am the crazy, running monkey now!

Field Development Project

This semester this FDP is a headache for me. Out of 4 phases of FDP, I'm responsible in handling one of the phases; reservoir engineering. SO much things to do, so much things to find with infinite uncertainties (mind you, we're dealing with subsurface. Nothing can be seen with bare eyes). And in spite of that, my team is blessed with a super-great supervisor, and of course that comes in a package with some other drawbacks. Workloads and workloads. And yes, insults once in a blue moon. But who would mind that for a perfection? Only loser does.

May Allah blessed me with exceptional strength and motivation to work this out for me and my team.

Bloody Final Year

The ending is coming so close to you, and yet there are just so many things coming up to stop you. I would rather forever live my life in my junior years for the final-year-stress is just unbearable; and yet it's inevitable. Have to go through like it or not. Downpour and sunshine.

Well there's a saying no pain no gain. I know.

New semester begins!

; with much disappointments.

The new semester is back; after a super-short, 10-day semester break. I just hate this new requirement that UTP has to follow for the sake of accreditation. It causes us the final year students to compact all 3 semesters in 12 months instead of 16! It can be simply said that we almost have no mid-sem break as all we've got was a 4-day break including Saturday and Sunday! I wish that you'd know how much I hate this accreditation thing; I wanna spend more time home with mak and abah. I hate the feeling when we're leaving home saying goodbye and promising that we'll be back soon :(

That was the first disappointment. Next comes the second.

Picture taken from here.

I love learning French, and my 4-year experience learning French during high school has never disappoint me but this time, I kinda wanna say 'I hate French' for this one reason :(

I failed to register in the course for my first attempt during my 3rd year as the slot was already full so I did the course registration much earlier this time and luckily, I managed to make myself in! However, as I stepped into the class, I was taken aback seeing a large crowd in the class and it was like 3/4 full! And it's not the seats that were 3/4 full, but its the space in the class! You had let someone to kiss your butt just to make your way to the empty seats! Erghhhh.

- At first I wondered if the large crowd truly managed to register themselves in the PRISM (our online database system for registration etc.) for the course and as far as I concern, it's only those who managed to register themselves in the PRISM will make their way to the course!

- But it's opposite for this course! The lecturer will only take in those who first signed up MANUALLY in the class by writing their name in the list distributed at the end of the class!

- And no one was aware of 'that' system as the lecturer post the announcement in the online portal where no one can access until the end of the first week of the semester!

- And seeing there were so may guys queuing, I just had some little patience for my turn and that makes my name to be among the last and not accepted to be in the class! :(

And that was only 30% of everything that demotivated me within this 3 weeks. Now I'm wishing for a rainbow waiting me ahead :(

Final Year Project

Alhamdulillah, dipinjamkan lagi oksigen dan organ2 yang berfungsi dengan baik hari ini :)

Quite a long time since I last wrote, but to keep this beloved blog silent for months was never an option; there'd been just so many things coming up, and to watch Running Man was one of those :P But frankly, life doing final year is not something easy when it comes to Final Year Project. Yes, FYP.

My project is basically an experiment-based, testing two types of polymer as the drag reducing agent in water flow system. I'm currently doing major in Reservoir Engineering and to have a project on flow assurance are two non-parallel scopes. But I somehow can't help myself from liking and being enthusiastic in completing this project - though I'd lost track for quite many times, as I've put my best effort doing the preliminary research, and came out with a 100% self-dependent proposal myself!

BUT I'm quite demotivated when thinking that I have to fabricate my own experiment setup; getting the pump, the pipes, the beam and everything! But when I come to think that the current technology we're having now is made up of infinite research and EFFORT and PATIENCE and HEADACHES of other great researches, I just keep telling myself that this is my own responsibility to the industry; to at least initiate a research that can assist another researcher. Got what I meant?

Simply said that, I wanna be admired as much as I admire the people who wrote great research papers. Many of the papers I read talked about simple topics, but later I came to realize that their research is basically combining pieces of other research. And that combined pieces are what I'm impressed with now! Great writings with detailed analysis.

I just hope I can someday be like them.
