Outward Bound School

Alhamdulillah, aku dipanjangkan umur untuk menaip blog lagi setelah lame bercuti. Hohe. Sepanjang 3 minggu kat rumah, aku tolong rumah siapkan persiapan untuk majlis kahwin Kak Ida. Da habis majlis, kene setelkan rumah pulak. Akibat badan aku ni terlalu dimanjakan oleh tuannya sendiri kat UTP agaknya, aku kalah dengan kepenatan. Aku demam~ Huhu. Tapi aku lawan jugak.. siap ajak mak keluar lagi time2 demam tu. Sebabnye, aku nak sihat untuk pergi ke Outward Bound School (OBS).

Buat pengetahuan kamu2 yang tak tau tu, OBS ni merupakan satu sekolah yang mengajar kamu2 tentang perkara2 yang paling asas dalam hidup, yang mane tak sume orang boleh dapat ilmu tu. Haaa. Senang cite, bile da habis kursus tu, aku da dapat catat sejarah baru dalam hidup aku. Aku dah berkayak lebih kurang 20km di sekitar Lumut dan berlayar lebih kurang 25km mengelilingi Pulau Pangkor. Pengalaman berada di tengah laut sambil memastikan kenderaan yang kamu naiki itu bergerak dengan tenaga empat kerat kamu sangatlah berbeza kalo nak dibandingkan dengan bergerak menggunakan kuasa enjin seperti motobot. Aku berbangga sebab aku dah tawan laut Pangkor tu dengan usaha sama watch members aku yang sporting habis, watch Ulu Sepat. Biarpun nama watch kami kedengaran sangatlah 'hulu', tapi kami tak pernah ketinggalan di belakang.

Macam-macam ilmu yang aku perolehi sepanjang 7 hari berkursus kat OBS tu. Aku dah faham konsep2 kapal layar, name2 untuk tiap layar, fungsi2 equipments dalam sebuah kapal layar etc. Oh ye, aku juge dapat belajar macam mane nak mengapungkan badan dengan bantuan life jacket. . Muahaha! Fado tak reti berenang ! Thanks untuk Nawal yang tabah mengajar watch members beliau cara2 berenang (^_^)


20 Jun
Hari pertama di OBS. Tertarik dengan pemandangan tepi pantainya. Pada sebelah siangnya, kami berkumpul mengikut watch masing2 untuk menyerahkan barang2 seperti handphone, duit, wallet, IC and other elctronic gadgets kat instructor. For the whole 1 week we were not allowed to contact our family except for urgent matters. Pada malamnya pula kami berkenalan sesama ahli kumpulan. Watch aku terdiri daripada 6 perempuan n 8 lelaki. Sebelum ni di UTP aku sesama ahli watch perempuan yg lain kenal gitu2 aje while for the boys, I only knew one of them. So OBS ni dapat mengeratkan silaturrahim sesama kami.

21 Jun
Pada sebelah pagi kami diberi latihan berkayak. Seronok rasanya kali pertama sentuh air laut setelah berkurun lama tak cecah kaki kat laut. Huhu. Waktu latihan capsize, aku agak cuak bilalatihan tu dibuat agak jauh dari pantai dan akibat kecuakan tu, aku tak dapat menarik badan aku keluar dari kayak dengan cepat. Akibatnya, kaki aku tersangkut kat dalam kayak tu~



Camnila keadaan badan aku dalam kayak tu. Dalam air, aku tak nampak ape2 melainkan kasut crocs pink aku yg tak ori tu. Aku nampak kaki aku tersangkut tapi panik sangat sampai tak tau nak wat ape. Maka aku pun keluarkan tangan aku mengharapkan ada orang yang dapat tarik aku keluar~




Lepas Abg Fadzli tarik aku keluar, secara rasminya aku telah diselamatkan. Maka tibalah giliran rakan penyelamat lain untuk menolong aku n partner kayak aku, Zul untuk teruskan usaha menyelamat. Hoho. Alhamdulillah, aku berjaya naik kayak semula pastu. Hohe. Tapi, amek masajugak nak chill down. Maklumlah, first time pergi tengah laut! Hohe. Cuak2~

Petangnya, kami berkayak kira2 8km menuju campsite pertama iaitu Pantai Syawal. Kat situlah kali pertama aku merasa pengalaman mandi dengan air telaga yang dicedok sendiri, buang air bukan dekat jamban, mandi tak sempurna, n macam2 lagi lah. Rasa sengasara sangat takde toilet. Huhu. Tapi lama kelamaan aku da tak kisah da. Huhu~ Malam tu kami bermalam kat campsite tu. Angin malam kat tepi pantai memang masyuk. Aku tido lena sungguh.

22 Jun
Bangun dekat pukul 5 pagi, kami sama2 siapkan breakfast untuk pagi tu. Then solat subuh berjemaah. Best sangat pemandangan waktu solat berjemaah kat tepi pantai. Dengan berlatar belakangkan pokok kelapa, gelap, tapi terlihat beberapa barisan jemaah lurus mengikut gerakan imam. Indah sangat2. Tapi sayang, aku tak bawak n takde camera. Kalau tak, dapat capture pemandangan subuh tu..

Pukul 730 pagi, kami load barang ke dalam mother boat, bersiap untuk bertolak pulang ke OBS. Perjalanan pulang sejauh 15km mengambil masa kira2 4 jam untuk tiba ke destinasi. Dalam perjalanan pulang tu, berlaku satu insiden yang agak mengerikan di mana sebuah kapal besar amat hampir2 melanggar rombongan kayak kami ketika kami sedang menyeberang muara sungai tu. Sungai yang kami lalui itu sebenarnya merupakan laluan kapal dagang yang ingin menuju ke pelabuhan yang terdapat di sungai tersebut. Dengan tindakan cepat instructor kami, rombongan kayak kami cepat2 diarahkan untuk patah balik untuk memberi laluan kepada kapal dagang tu. Alhamdulillah, takde perkara yang diingini terjadi waktu tu. Kemudian kami teruskan perjalanan pulang. Aku dan Zul tidak mudah patah semangat walaupun hari makin terik dan bahu rasa macam nak tercabut. Berbekalkan semangat nak sampai cepat, aku dan Zul merupakan 'pasangan' kayak yang kedua tiba di OBS. Hehe. Bangga gila la weyh~
Baki ari tu, kami tak banyak sangat aktiviti. So dapatla peluang untuk berehat~

23 Jun
Hari ni kami diajar tentang whaler. Whaler merupakan sejenis kapal layar yang jarang digunakan sekarang. Menurut Abang Fadzli, whaler di semenanjung ni hanya terdapat di OBS. So sekali lagi aku rasa bertuah sbb dapat belajar guna whaler ni. Whaler boleh memuatkan sehingga 15 orang penumpang, termasuk 8 orang pendayung. Kami diajar tentang setiap peralatan yg terdapat dalam sebuah whaler, cara memasang layar n macam2 lagi. Barulah aku tau yang fungsi setiap layar dalam sebuah kapal layar berbeza; bergantung pada arah angin.


25 Jun
Seawal jam 730 pagi kami sudah bersiap sedia untuk bertolak ke campsite. Perjalanan kali ni agak jauh kalau nak dibandingkan dengan yang sebelumnya sbb kami akan berlayar mengelilingi Pulau Pangkor.



By the way, kami tidaklah berlayar memandangkan perjalanan kami melawan arah angin. So nak tak nak, terpaksa mendayung. Bile da nak sampai ke Pantai Syawal tu barulah kami dapat berlayar. Tapi disebabkan kami 14 orang sama2 meggembleng tenaga, tidaklah rasa sangat penatnya. Pengalaman mengelilingi Pulau Pangkor memang mengasyikkan. Pantainya bersih, airnya jernih. Memang sesuaila Pulau Pangkor tu dijadikan antara destinasi pelancongan utama kat Malaysia ni. Subhanallah, memang cantik. Cantiknya takleh diungkap dengan kata2. Nak tunjuk gamba pun takde, so mintak maaf la kat kamu2 semua. Huhu. Perjalanan ke campsite mengambil masa hampir 5 jam so sempatlah kami berzohor kat campsite. Siang tu kami lepak sikit sebab da bawak pack lunch dari OBS so tak payah bersusah payah nak memasak. Hohe.

Malamnya, kami lepak dengan Abang Fadzli dok bercerita kisah hantu. So macam2 la kisah hantu yang kami dengar malam tu. Yang paling banyak berkongsi cerita, Abang Fadzli la. Sume kisah yang berkaitan dengan camping habis diceritanya. Tapi cool je aku tido malam tu even tido yang paling tepi. Tapi yang menyampahnye, nyamuk tak habis2 gigit aku. Last2 aku bakar 2 ubat nyamuk sekali gus, letak betul2 tepi aku. Dengan asap berkepul2 dari ubat nyamuk tu la aku tertido dengan lena tanpa gangguan binatang yang tergila2kan aku ni. Huhu.

26 Jun
Bangun pagi, baju aku dipenuhi bau asap. Nyampah tol. Tapi takpelah, yang penting nyamuk tak kacau. Huhu. Kemudian kami terus bersiap untuk pulang. Siapkan breakfast, solat subuh, breakfast and pastu terus bersiap2 untuk balik OBS. Lebih kurang pukul 8 pagi kami pun bertolak pulang.



Memandangkan perjalanan kami kali ni lebih pendek, so takdela lame mane nak sampai ke OBS. Dengan menggunakan 4 kuasa kuda bersamaan 8 kuasa lelaki Ulu Sepat, kami merupakan watch yang pertama tiba di OBS walaupun kami merupakan watch yang terakhir bertolak dari Pantai Syawal. Tu lah orang kata, sepakat membawa berkat, sampai pun cepat. Hohe.

Petangnya, kami berlatih untuk persembahan malam BBQ. Malam, wat BBQ. Sedih sangat waktu wat persembahan tu bile memikirkan tu la malam terakhir aku kat OB. Huhu.

26 Jun
Pagi tu, Abg Fadzli menyerahkan semula barang2 yang disimpan dari awal kursus. Memangla hepi dapat fon, tapi sedih bile fikir da nak balik UTP. Huhu. Pastu ade penyampaian sijil. Dengan itu, secara rasmi aku dan kawan2 seangkatan yang lain dapat gelaran Ex-Bounder n aku bangga dgn title baru tu. Hohe. Setelah sejam lebih menunggu, bas UTP pun sampai membawa kami pulang ke UTP. Naik2 bas, radio mengumumkan kematian Michael Jackson. Aku ingat aku salah dengar aku pun tak rase pape~ Lagipun aku bukanla fan beliau pun~ Bile balik uma Kak Nim, adik angkat Michael Jackson kelihatan sedih dengan kematian abang angkatnya itu. Insan yg dimaksudkan adela abang ipar aku ni~


Abg Fir n Arif melakonkan watak Alex n Melman~




P/S :
Setelah dikira2, kecederaan yang aku dapat dari OBS ni disertakan dengan pakej lengkap.

1) Benjol kat dahi - terkena paddle kayak orang dgn momentum gila2 kuat
2) Kaki terseliuh - terjatuh kat cerun bukit dorm Jerai
3) Kaki luka - kes sama mcm kat atas
4) Lebam banyak kat kaki - mula2 aku ingat antu pelesit isap darah aku, upe2nye kaki aku banyak terhantuk bnde tanpa disedari~

Drilling Engineering Lab

Ini choke manifold namanya.

February 19 - Had a drilling lab on this day, and I was sooo excited bout it as I'd read the manual and did some extra reading on the topic ;)

I had 5 others in my group and they were all boys but working with them was not really a problem for a pemalu girl like me as they're kinda easy to go with (^_^)

Now here goes the unofficial lab report for this experiment, specifying the job scope of a choke control console operator (choke is like a valve where you let your unwanted fluid to flow through. This choke is only functioning during kick, where your drilling mud comes with gases or other type of formation fluid. At this time, you aren't ready for any hydrocarbon production yet).

*********************

Objective :
-To understand and to see how things really work on the platform.
-To gain a high and multi spirit to be a drilling engineer.
-To make mistake while working with the consoles and see the results.
-To identify those who make mistakes.

Procedure :
1) Start the drilling console and start drilling by driving your drill bit deeper and deeper.
2) The lab technician will make your well penetrated by gas, indicating that you have encountered a kick.
3) Run and save your life. Eh. No. Use your brain how to overcome the kick.
4) Choke operator moves the lever to open the choke. Note: when the choke operator adjusts the choke correctly, the mud and kick fluids flow out, but no more kick fluids enter the well because the back-pressure held by the choke prevents more formation fluids from entering.
5) See the result lah.

Result:
The kick occurred twice.

Discussion:
- The kick was not supposed to happen twice. This might happen due to the mistakes that the choke operator did. Kisah sebenarnye camni. As he/she was moving the lever, he/she suddenly confused of which direction should he/she move the lever. This is not a paralax nor paradox error, but a parapid error. Note: Parapid is the synonym of stupid.
- As the choke operator failed to adjust the choke correctly, the back-pressure wasn't held well and this had caused the formation fluids to enter the well due to the high pressure difference.
- The choke operator is a female.

Conclusion:
- The choke operator should be fired as soon as possible to prevent any blow-out.
- The choke opearator is Fado.

International Petroleum Technology Conference 2008

Instead of my birthday surprise (which I knew weeks ago, but they somehow got me at last), I'm here in KL for another function, which is called International Petroleum Technology Conference (IPTC for short). This is the second oil and gas conference that I attend in my 2 years studies in UTP (the previous one was organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineer UTP Student Chapter). Everyone was coming from every corner of the globe for the conference!

IPTC was held for 3 days in KLCC, starting Dec 3 to Dec 5. I didn't know bout this conference till a friend of mine advertised bout IPTC at her Gtalk status and I thanked her very much when I discovered that if I were not a student, I had to pay a sum of USD900, which is equivalent to RM 3500 to attend that conference! That is why I really love my 'job' as a student in this expensive industry. Everything was for free, and I would do anything to grab the chance; sacrificing my cuti-panjang-tapi-pendek which makes my holiday to be cuti-extra-pendek.

So what's so special bout this conference?

1) There were about 80 companies participated in the exhibition and I tell you what, here was the place where me and my friends got crazy trying to get the companies' freebies. 4GB pendrives from Saudi Aramco; stylish Vodafone cap and jersey from ExxonMobil when you try their F1 simulator and be the top 10 winner; a digital organiser and calculator from PTT Exploration and Production Public Company of Thailand; belgian chocolates from Chevron; car shades from Baker Hughes; singing magnet, landyard, puzzle cubes and blinking chain from Schlumberger.... oh.. oh.. this list will keep going if I go and check what I've collected for the past 3 days :p

2) Free technical paper work from the participating societies such as the Society of Exploration Geophysists. As a student of petroluem engineering, I need to read a lot on the current technologies used in the industry. I need to fully understand the industry by reading related magazines and paper works. Attending lectures is not sufficient to make one a good petroleum engineer. Reading teh text books is not enough to make you see the real view of the industry. You can't see the problems in your field by just reading your text books. Here is the chance for me to start thinking of final year projects!

3) Expensive foods. I'm not used to go to Dome just to have a cup of coffee, buy a cup of Haagen Dazs when I feel like eating something cold or even to order something with a long name for drinks. But for the past 3 days, I got all these for free!

4) Here I met the industry people, listening to their experience, eyeing on their elegant suits and admiring their communication skills. And from all these, I see the future me (or at least, this is how I want to be in next 10 years' time).

5) There were also technical sessions in this conference where some researchers from the field presented their research and case studies. Frankly, when we (me and friends) got into the presentation room, we could only understand a very small portion of their presentations. We absolutely understand English, but there were some terms that our memory could not recall well what the meanings are. And from this I know la now, attending such a conference makes us know what we should know.

6) iPod. Don't you worry, you didn't read it wrong. It's not Podi the Drill Bit or Dopi your ex boyfriend/girlfriend/pet. It's iPod. Yeah, iPod. True, Schlumberger was giving us 2-3 iPod Touch per day by just listening to their presentation slots and answer the quiz given, and have all the answers correct. And if you're lucky, the iPod is yours. As I was toooo kind and generous, I gave my other friends the chances to win the iPod and voila, they did. Amir got one, and Nahvin also got one. I really hope that my kindness and and generosity will pay off in the next conference by winning an iPhone! :D ( next time, I will be kind no more :p )

Interesting kan? Now I'm looking forward to attend another oil and gas conference coz I really love the industry and plus, I love money. So saya mahu berusaha sungguh-sungguh untuk menjadi seorang jurutera petroleum yang berjaya dan kaya! :D


Future petroleum engineers. Ngeee~

Mathronicamp: I'm Teacher-blooded

How does it feel being a teacher? Well for me, as most of family are teachers, this is not something new. And on last Saturday, I got the chance to be one :) It was the Mathronicamp, a one day course organized by UTP Electrical and Electronic Engineering Student Society (E3SS), in collaboration with UTP Robocon Team. It's Najib who offered me the chance, as he was the one who initially in charge to be one of the representatives from Robocon Team but luckily, he got something to do on the same day, so he passed me the offer :) In this Mathronicamp we had to teach the Standard 5 students from SK Raban, a total of 70 plus students. Maths and teacher, is a great combination to make feel eager to join!

My day on that Saturday started at 630am (this is really rare to me.ngehe), rushing to reach Jehan's at V4 before 700am. I texted her as I start walking to V4 and she replied that she was not ready yet. When I reached her room, she was done with baju but not tudung and she honestly told me that: Aku bangun bile ko msg aku. Kalo ko tak msg, habis.

Ahaha. But never mind la. Jehan kencang. Ehe. We then got into the car, ready to gather with others at the V4 parking area. We waited for the other 2 boys from Robocon, and only then Jehan remembered that she forgot to bring along our Robocon corporate shirt. Lalala~ As she had to wait for the other boys, I volunteered myself to walk and get the shirts. Huhu. Done with the shirt-matter, we hurried to RoboLab as we had to take the batteries for the robot and some other thing. I did bring the lab key with me, but UNLUCKILY somebody had changed the padlock, and I only have one key with me! Pity to us, and pity to those that we had to wake them up, just to get the key. We had to wake up 3 guys on that weekend, and this is enough to make me feel guilty. But what can I say kan. That was the only way that we could do. Huhu. It's quite a long story for this key-matter so I'd like to stop it here.

It took us more than two hours to reach SK Raban, which is in Kuala Kangsar. We arrived the school somewhere around 1030am. Jehan and his boyfriend Shah were assigned to Group 9, while Nazrin and me were assigned to Group 10. Nazrin and me brought our 4 'kids' to another classroom. Then we got know each other, and then started working on their exercises together. The kids were quite shy-shy cat at the first time and it took me nearly an hour just to make them feel easy with me. I acted as usual, like a clown. Making stupid jokes and it gave me a relief when the laughed seikhlas hati. Ahaha. I really enjoyed teaching them. It was a great feeling being in front of them, writing on the whiteboard, trying to make them understand. I taught them just like my father did when he taught me during my childhood. Translating the sentences word by word just to make sure that I understand the question. I applied it and it worked well to them. It's not that hard to teach them; they can read english well but the only problem was that they couldn't translate the words well.

I had a problem teaching them the topic on Time. One of the kids could not even remember the month. This IS a serious problem. I even had problem making them understand using fist:


I tried hard to make them remember of how many days are there in a month. I told them this: "Kalo kite stop kat Tinggi, bulan tu ade 31 hari. Kalo Rendah, ade 30 hari" and then we did some exercises on Time. Then the big problem came: when we counted the month, one of the kids will always get different days from the others. When we got it 31 days, he would get 30 and vice versa. The kid then said to me: "Akak, betul la saye kire. 30." I then asked him to count it back. Only then I realized that he had a serious problem. A REALLY serious problem. His first two Tinggi and Rendah are obviously flat! No wonder he got different answer from others! I then made joke to the other kids, I said that they have to keep their body slim so they won't face the problem as what their friend had. (Note: the kid is a sihat type. Hehe. Chubby orang kate). And they all burst into laugh. Haha. Really funny.

In the classroom.

Then we had a break at 1230pm. After we were done with our lunch, the four of us from Robocon had to do the toughest task in this Mathronicamp, which was to take the robot out from the car. Believe me when I say that it took us more that half an hour just to bring out the robot! Doing the 'task' under the baking sun, I felt like my body was really baked. In an hour time I might turn into muffins. Cupcakes. Chocolate moist. Yummy. Erm you just see la the pictures that I curi-curi snap:

Nazrin and Shah. In the car: Jehan. Fuuh

The kids started to surround us as they found out that we were working with the robot. But people, you know what. We told them this: "Adik-adik, kalo robot ni tak boleh keluar, adik-adik tengok je lah robot ni dalam kete ni yek!" That was actually the bunyi of giving up. Hu


Jehan muke penat. She even blamed my group for making such a huge robot. Believe me Jehan, I never thought that my robot will ever ride a car, sitting beside both the driver and the back passenger seat! And people, do you get what I mean? The robot is LYING DOWN from front to the back seat!!!

And we have a secret to unveil here: we scratched so many parts of the car during this 'process'. But luckily it is Dr Naufal's car and he's the type that mind a little, but will just forget it minutes later. Hu. Lucky us. We then got back to class and started the teaching session. The session went normally, and we tried to finish all of the given modules in time so I selected certain questions for them to solve.

We stopped at 3, and the next slot is the Robot Demo. Oh. My time my session. We changed baju, and ready for the robot demo. The kids seemed so excited seeing the robot in front of them. I explained to the kids, teachers and also the facis bout the robot. How we fabricated it, what's this and what's that. And I was quite nervous demonstrating them the shooting mechanism of the robot. I said this to myself: "Ni kalo tak jatuh tin-tin tu, wat malu aku je. Robot punyela gempak, sekali rupenye demonstrator die gile looser." I then tried my best to give a best shot and voila, I made it! Hehe. I felt relieved when they gave me big applause. The kids seemed so proud of the robot's ability to shoot. We then give them some questions to answer and if they got it right, they would get the chance to try our robot. We even gave some snacks to them (sponsored by me. It wasn't much, but I know that it was a great feeling for the kids getting something when others don't. Ehe)

Nazrin conducting the game session.

The real view.

Then we had closing ceremony, and tangkap-tangkap gambar time!! Hehe

2 groups in 1, with the facis :)

I had so much fun with y'all guys! We are a great combination! :) And to Shah, you're too old to show your long-time-ago baby face.

And this is my very the very happening group! :D

--------------------------------------------------

Going back to UTP..


Plaza tol Jelapang. The new one. You know the issue don't you?

Really new.

And finally, home! (with tonnes of work waiting. Sigh)

Geology Field Trip

This entry is a bit late, (great apology to Kak Nim :D ) but as I said before, never mind about the date you see above. It's only a decoration with numbers in your blog, just to make your blog looks technically right! =))


Saturday, March 22. My course of 80 students went for trip to I-don't-know-where but not so far from UTP. All I know is, when you pass the front guard post, turn right at the traffic light and go straight. AND one more thing, DON'T SLEEP, as you won't know how to tell the others when they ask you this : how to get there eh? =p

As we reached the site, both our lecturers, APDR Chow and Dr Bernard gave us some briefing on what to find, what to observe, what to measure etc. Their briefing seemed useless to me as my ears my eyes my mind my everything had already been set on the outcrop! (apology to them :p) I couldn't believe my eyes; everything that I saw in book was just before me! Wowo! Once again I don't feel any regret taking Petroleum Engineering as my future career. This is the best choice I ever made in my life. This is the best choice I ever made MYSELF. Once again, MYSELF ;)


Then we got into groups and started to search for interesting site of 10 meters. Zaza and Naila were in my group, and to make our job easier, we did a joint venture with Ima's and a boy's group.

This was the site which attract me at first,

but Ima insisted on finding for another interesting site.

Ehem. Reader, note this : when you hear people saying “jom la cari tempat lain” in a geology trip, this means that they want to go for something more adventurous. They want the higher part of the outcrop. This means that you have to climb the outcrop. And this means that your pants and shoes will get dirty. And all these mean another great experience in your life =)

Finally we found this site :

IT IS an interesting site as what you can see, there are obvious different layers of rocks. But hey, did you know how these different layers are formed? How is an outcrop formed? Well, here’s something for you to get a better picture of the formation.

This is the picture of the earth crust with different(many) layers which is subject to gravitational pressure by the load of overlying rocks and also, other stresses. Then it becomes this :

And due to climate change, the alternating layers of hard and soft sedimentary rocks will be eroded to form :

THIS


THIS








and many more!




Example of stones found in our site :

You might think this as a decomposed wood kan? But it is actually a type of stone =)


We call this shale stone. The brownish part is caused by iron oxide. This type of stone is typically used to buat cement I guess.


A type of mudstone.


Yellow : sandstone, very fine sand.


And now, picture time!! :D


Agus in gray cap was helping us with the compass.


C'est moi! Taking the sandstone sample.


A graduate assistant (GA) helping us with the task. He's soooo adorable :D


This is what we call joints. Brick-like structure, naturally occur. The ruler as the scale.


Measuring the angle of dip and strike.


Oops! We 'accidentally' destroyed the joints! Haha


Me, Zaza and Naila sebagai Gadis-gadis tukul :D


Everyone was so HAPPY lah!!
The only girls in the huge class (from left) : Ai, Ima and me, Zaza, Uyun, Naila, and Syima =)

Kempen Mengundi : Pertandingan Slogan

Petang Khamis lepas, aku terlihat borang penyertaan pertandingan mencipta slogan bertaburan atas meja makan. Aku pun terfikir, menarik jugak kalo aku masuk pertandingan ni, bukannya kena bayar pun. So aku pun mula la mencipta satu demi satu slogan. Memang seronok waktu tu, terasa macam buat esi pendek gitu. Hehe. These are how the slogans sound :

  • Students' participation in elections is important because every single
    cross is the key to mind empowerment and a better quality of our
    democratic house, Malaysia.
  • Students' participation in elections is important because the sign of
    an intelligent community is when they realize that the power of
    democracy is in their hands.
  • Students' participation in elections is important because their
    intelligence will only complete when they fulfill the responsibility
    towards the power of democracy that is in their hands.

Tibe-tibe petang semalam, aku dapat message from an unknown number menyatakan yang aku kene pegi Undercroft, untuk amek hadiah pertandingan tu. Aku tak tau la pada awalnya aku dapat tempat ke berapa. Sekali waktu majlis penyampaian hadiah tu, rupenye aku menang 1st prize tu! Slogan aku yang terplih tu adela yang 1st skali tu. Fushh. Memang tak sangka! apa-apa pun, aku nak berterima kasih pada Kak Nim yang turut menyumbang (diulang sekali lagi, menyumbang) idea untuk slogan ni. And terima kasih jugak untuk mereka yang congrate aku! =)
