Sitting by the windowww...

Looking back...

This week was so stressful week for us... Everyone was rushing to finish up the coursework due today and yesterday... Everyone has this look...the "Get out of my way...im trying to get my work done" look... its kinda scary...but without realising it...i too had that Look...

But today...the sun was shining...clear blue skies above us... everyone's faces changed... change to smile, laughter...and yes....eveyone handed their work today... we had the different kinda a look now..."aahhh...now i can go to sleeppp" kinda look....

I was looking down by the window in my room... everyone was wearing tuxedos and gowns...sitting by the lake...its the Chancellors Ball... a ball before the exams!?..damn..these people really know how to have fun before exams huh!?...well...anyway....seeing them all dressed up, taking pictures by the lake...its so nice...reminds me when me and my friends after Diploma Convocation.... with our graduation gowns..taking pictures of each other....i just smiled to myself....

Its like popping a bottle of Champagne for me...but i just popped my bottle of Ribena...and drank it to my job well done...then suddenly...fireworks shots up to the skies... (man...they really do know how to celebrate pre-examination week here eh!?!).... It brings me a wider and bigger smile.....

Feel so relief now.... no more burdens...just me and my examinations next week starting on the 3rd...

Good luck to my dear friends who is facing exams too...may the force will be with u?!... =P

Back in Birmingham

Back in Birmingham, arrived Digberth at 8am, everything was so quite, cars were not that many, unlike in London...

The whole week i was in London, stayed in Colindale with Tiar, Reja, Wandy, Lala, Omar, Kodel and the newest edition of the gang...Imam Fachari a.k.a Bronong... But that not all..Indri and Anggak was there too...

London was my last and my closing destination on my Easterbreak...As soon as I arrived Dover and had a short nap in Islington, Adella called me up and wanna me to come to Colindale... Once u in Colindale with the Colindallers......U dont wanna go back... and at the end..i spent 7 days there...

I really had a good time with them... And most of us share the same interest... Travelling and Shoping for Tiar, Cars and Harleys with Reja (Reza), Language translater with Wandy, Wacky as Della and Lala, all of them really had their own colour... And one thing in common with all of them... Having fun with each other... =)

A week knowing them as if a whole life time knowing each other... They even thaught me Indonesian Language....and also...Capssaaakkk!!!.....oooo..im Goood in it now... with Both of them...Gue bisa mengomomg bahasa indon dehhh....dan jugakk main capsakk bersama anak anak Colindale....jika mao saya main utk Colindale jugak bisa dongg....yyyeeooooehh.... and i cudnt speak any other language other than Indonesian Language there....its kinda akward for me at first coz mostly its like bahasa Baku for me...but bahasa gaul for themm.... But I did influence them the usage of one Malaysian Language.....JOMM!!.... =P

Theres one thing that they really love to do...Eatingggg.....Nasi Bebek...Crepes...Crispy duck and a lot more dishes...In short....they know where to get best food in London...just ask them..not the Tourist Information Center...

Thanks Guys....U all really made my Holiday Finale a great one!!....Thanks again..hope i cud visit u all again sometime...and my place is always welcome for u guyss...

Chilling with Cup of teaa..

I didn't really posted any new blogs about my days lately. Life has been very busy, race against time finishing up all my coursework before the Easter holidays, beginning to like football , which is kinda weird for some and for me too, and yea...no ideas to write about...or to talk about...

It has been 7 months now iM away from home, and i just realised that iM about to go home this July...thanks to my friend Mat talking about my flight tickets back home. Cant believe time flies just like that. I still remember the 1st time I arrived UK, scared of new surroundings, people are much taller than I am, the weather and away from the loves ones. But now, been to alot of places around UK itself and later this week, I'll be heading my way to France and then to Italy. To think of it again, Im kinda lucky compared to some. Thank to GOD for it.

Being away from family actually teaches me about myself really. I thought u knew yourself well then...but nope...u dont really realised ur capabilities... Usually back home, if you're hungry, all u need to do is wait for mom to cook or go to some food joints to buy them. Here, Im really amazed of myself that I can really actually make sure Im survive by cooking myself, although i Know how to cook back home...but iM just too lazyy... Laziness never appeared ,well..sometimes, in my vocabulary when it comes to eating. If u dont eat, you will be without energy and cant study or have fun!...and eventually get yourself in trouble...now im a lil bit rounded than before. =P

Than, somethings u need to sacrifice. This is gonna be the 1st ever I missed the Formula One race in Malaysia, it might sound like...ahhh...just small matter...well..its a big matter to me, coz something that I enjoy doing it. Since the 1st race held in Malaysia in 1998, till 2004 never missed it..All I can do this year is to watch it in the TV. Watching in the TV and watching it live is different... U wont feel the atmosphere if watching it in Tv..All u can hear is the sounds...but not REALLY feeling the HEAT...maybe there is a blessing in disguise for me not going to Sepang.

Ouh....now football is game i play lately... Join with the Malaysian people residing in Birmingham, and play every week. Manchester Games held last weekend and the team won 3rd placing. I didnt scored any goal tho...but being a defender need to run as fast as the opposing team striker and intercept the ball.. Not a easy job either...

Tiar, a multiply friend of mine is now on her journey across Europe. A Europe Freak what Adella said... (sorry Kodel..hehehheheh)...just backpacker style travelling...alone...i really respect her for that...I always wanted to travel alone without any plans...to the unknown...without even speaking their language apart Malay or English... Something like my journey to Japan... dont even speak a single Japanese and they dont really speaks English...all I did was sign Language...and i did survive....But Tiar really did what i ALWAYS want to do...like the Traveller program on Discovery Channel.... KUDOS TiAR!!!..

Im gonna dissappear for the next two weeks!!...I'll be joining my Aunt and Uncle, who is staying in London and follow them to France and Italy for Easter.. Will be seeing some friends in France and Italy too... And yea...i promise to take pictures!!...

So...take care everyone!!....Have a Nice EASTER Holidays and for those who is sitting for exams....GOODLUCK!!...just relax...dont get too tense!!... =P

The HEAT is ON

The Formula One (F1) Season will start kick off this weekend at Albert Park, Australia. 10 teams will be competing the whole season with Red Bull Team taking its debut appearance replacing the financial troubled team, Jaguar.

Major driver reshuffle for the whole F1 teams except for Ferrari, maintaining The 6 times World Champion, Micheal Schumacher (MS) and Rubens Barichello (RB) with their F2005 car. 2nd on the Constructors championship table during 2004 is BAR with their Honda powered engine car, with Brit young gun, Jenson Button (JB) alongside with Takuma Sato (TS) of Japan. Despite some confusion on JB's contract, he is determine to drive for championship this year with team. Sato on the other hand would make the Honda name to the World wide brand name.



After the good start of the 2004 season, Renault with its best launch control car, also retains Spaniard Fernando Alonso (FA) with Italian flavor, Giancharlo Fisichella (GF). Alonso was tipped to challenge MS for the title this year, while GF wants to redeem the poor performance from the 2004 season with the Renault car.

2 cars were launched by BWM Williams last year after some design failure on the aerodynamic side, is hoping with new drivers and a new car would bring back BMW Williams to the contenders of the constructors standing with the choice of Patric Head and Frank Williams drivers, Mark Webber (MW) and Antonio Pizzonia (AP). MW was from Jaguar and did an impressive performance last season which caught the attention of Head and Williams and would bring the team back to greater heights.



Meanwhile, Ron Dennis from the McLaren, thought that, by bringing Juan Pablo Montoya(JPM) would turn the disappointing performance of the team last year back to the contenders of Ferrari. Kimi Raikkonen (KR) is kept in the team to show his best results. This promising Fin was able to challenge MS and would do the same this year.

Team from Hinwill, Switzerland, Sauber Petronas, brought back previously World Champion Jacques Villeneuve (JV) to the team pairing with Brazilian born, Felipe Massa (FM) with its Petronas 05A Engine to rev up the season. The team spent million of Euros on wind tunnel testing should see the results this weekend in Australia.



One of the Biggest car manufacturer, Toyota is confident with Ralf Schumacher (RS) style of driving and would bring back points for the championship. RS is to drive along side with Italian born Jarno Trulli (JT). JT is famous for his aggressive driving style and is set to score championship points this year.

Another financial ailing team, Jordan was bought by Midland Group in January secured its position in the Formula One race. With the faith of Eddie Jordan to a newly upgraded driver from the F3 league, Narain Karthikayen (NK) from India would be his debut appearance in the F1. Another rookie for Jordan team is Portuguese born, Tiago Monteiro (TM), 2nd on the Nissan World Series Championship.



Austrian first ever debut appearance, Red Bull team would be their fist race after bought the Jaguar team from Ford is set to drive with David Coulthard (DC) with vast experience in F1 together with Austrian born Chirstian Klien (CK) for the team.

The last but not the least, its the Minardi team. Paul Stoddard did a lot of miracle to the team. Despite the team performance is not up to par as the Ferrari, the Minardi team manage to score some points and manage to keep it selves running throughout the race.Maybe with their 2 new drivers, Dutch born Christijan Albers (CA) and Austrian Patrick Friesacher (PF).



Well, there you go for the teams and their respective drivers. Major reshuffling and some were retained would spark an excitement to the race this season. Few questions still looming,

Will the Micheal Schumacher dominate the whole race again!?
Will cars like McLaren and BMW Williams be reliable and stay on running throughout the whole race?

The guessing games is still there... SO....Ladies and Gents....THE HEAT IS ON!!.....

The car is my Passion...my dream...and my

LOVE... Yup....the love for cars... i would rather not having a girlfirend than not having a car or drive a car...

I got this idea of writting is when Nanie, my ex-gf was asking what whould I be when i graduated...and i instantly replied Im gonna be an Automotive Engineer because i LOVE cars... We talked to each other quite frequent now.

Cars to me is like the energy moving in me...u know what i mean??... Seeing the curves and the power exerted by the vehicle itself can drive me crazy. I think its because the adrenaline rush in me makes me to have this kinda drive. Just talking about it ... or just feel it...man!!..i can't describe the excitement.

I missed the times of me just driving the car to nowhere...just where the road leads me to... and of course..the fuel...

Cars ... all about cars!!..

A day...

Without internet is something like a day without a girlfriend or boyfriend in that matter (which ever suits you). Eddie , a friend of mine was talking about a day without electricity, ouh, that really scares me if it happens to me, but as far I’m here, no electricity cut off but INTERNET CONNECTION Cut OFF!!...

I would really thought that in the UK, the internet connection anywhere, any ISP ( internet service provider) is providing excellent job than ISP companies in MALAYSIA. I got it all wrong alright!! Malaysian ISPs are far more better than in the UK. Another kudos to MALAYSIA!!!Since my internet were out for the whole day of Monday night, I did some DVD watching. I’m supposed to do my coursework but nope, I watched Italian Job ( Old Version ) instead. Besides I’m not feeling that well. My throuth aches, my head feel so swingy, my chest is feeling a bit of pinch. I think I’m getting my flu… again … hopefully not.

HHEEYY YAAAHH

Yea, my klasses are now on the go, Structures and Stresses ( calculating the stress and strains of any member that is loaded with some force on it, which also cause some strss and strains in my brains!! ), Control systems Engineering ( hate it… cause it involves electrical circuit and formulas shit… V=IR thingy… my brains will be electrocuted!! ), Engineering Materials (ouh… this is a cool subject… tells you the composition of some material… do you know carbon fibre is light as a feather but stronger than steel???) Thermodynamics and Fluids ( this is not bad, done that during my diploma dazes, maybe I shouldn’t have any problems with it… ) and lastly Electrical Machines and Drives ( Electrical again!!?!?!....am I in the right course? )

Look at my laundry… so the penuh!! ( full ) Maybe do it tomorrow after class. I just cant stand opening my eyes! At least I can get connected from the room from where I used to get myself hooked on the net… at the computer lab…

I missed my family so much. I was online with them yesterday, I saw my grandmother on my webcam back home and my aunts. So missed them so much, especially my grandparents and my mom and dad. At least now I could appreciate them much more than I used to. SO lesson of the day boys and girls!!...LOVE YOUR FAMILY!!!!

Ok ok … my eyes wont open that big now, I guess I better get my rest and try to avoid of getting another flu on the 1st week of class!!!..

My type of girl

It’s been awhile since I’ve haven’t watched this movie, The Girl Next Door. The last time I watched it was I just got through my heavy breakup. Its all about a guy, Matthew running for scholarship to get his scholarship and he requires to give a speech about moral fibres, don’t ask me what it is but it surely convincing. He is joined by two ever faithful friends ,Eli and Klitz, with the ‘K’ and not with a ‘C’. These three guys was known as the ‘geeks’ of the school. Then One night, a girl moved to Matthew’s neighbour’s house. Matt fall for this girl next door but he don’t realized her past occupation, as a porn star. But really, Matt falls for her and for what she is. Not because of her background.


HHEEYY YAAAHH


So anyway, my point is seeing Elisha Cuthbert reminds me of the type of girl that I like. Someone who is strong, someone who brings me up when I’m down, someone who is cute, someone who can makes you laugh and this is the part that I really like, someone who gonna push me up someone who’s gonna make me do things that he never thought that he can do. That me really. I can’t be with someone who nags all the time or complaining of what I am really. Throughout the movie, Elisha always ask Matt, “ What’s the craziest thing that you have ever done lately?” I like that type of girl. Brings me out of me. Well if I do meet someone like Elisha Cuthbert, like Elisha herself, I would just go and ask for her hands in marriage!!!...ahhahahaha

I used to had one like this, but doesn’t last long. I don’t know how the next would be, right now, just staying low and concentrate doing my study, my coursework, but YEA…I really like to have someone like the character in this Movie. Hopefully, my wish will come through.
About the movie… go buy a DVD and watch it, really worth the money.
