Another Batch of Pictures

Yippiee!! Thanks to s1nach for the Official Photos of the Batch May/July2002 Dinner held at the Casuarina Ipoh, way better pics and definite keeps!! Im gonna miss each and every one of you!! But save the mushy wishes cause we'll still see each other next semester. Hahaha.. Im so hyper today.

My round table Left-Right Mod,Me,Radio,Tqa,Sara,Yatt,Shada,Ireen


The boys from MMC..Lan and Din


Another luvly picture..


gc and me


The rest of the mechanical friends

Close examination would tell those who are not really mechanical. Such are the specimens that ran astray during Pn. Ainul's Open House recently. Speaking of which, I think I should tell her that the boy who claimed to "have not yet taken Mansys" is actually a fraud. Eyp..save that for another entry but I doubt that I shall tell on those with bad manners. I shall do the opposite then. Toodles.

A Tangible Mix(up)


I am supposed to be free. But I am not. I was supposed to have presented my FYP (final year project) to a panel of material smart adjudicators cum examiners. I am pretty stressed out about it. Where should I start? The day is Friday, 820am and I rush off to block 18 to setup my presentation arena. The darned pc won't let me in. Username? Password? To make things worse, there was no saviour of "Login to Workstation Only" box for me to tick. I am late, sweating and the next thing I know I am off to block 17, room 11. Its one of the PC padded room, long and dark. The USB port works smoothly, I exhale. Calm myself as I go through my slides for the trillionth time. This is it. In 30 minutes it's all history and just a bad bad dream. I had a mile long list of things I am going to do in celebration after the presentation.. return library books, post overdue raya cards, burn telly series..feast with him and get some propper sleep..etc etc

The next thing I know, my SV runs into the room and in a determined tone says, "it seems like your examiner has no intention of coming for the presentation, I have nothing to say other than your presentation is cancelled" What?? You can't possibly cancel a FYP presentation??!! My head screams. Yeah, it was at that moment did I cry and wail so horrendously in my heart that I could not make out the look of my face, when real salty tears did come arolling down these cheecks and I was forced to tell a lab technician what went down. What went down? Nothing. Nada.

By the time they got a hold of the examiner and I dried my face from all the sweat - yes sweat, we shifted to another alien room and this time the USB wasn't up and running. So the time was 940 am, and the lecturers had a seminar at 10am, a pot luck compulsary event at 11 am, and another board meeting at 230 pm. I am postponed, and so I would like to say the same for my spirit and enthusiasm which I believe I have had endless supply to when it came to presentations. But this time, I wouldn't really care how the presentation turns out to the next time I'm scheduled for mine.

Mechanical Friends

Cheesy yet meaningful entry of mine..

Thana, Sara and Naz

I have myself a loving set of mechanical friends. They get rusty just like you do. A little bit of oil and they're in tip top condition. Wouldn't have made it through the years without all of them.

Mechanical Component Design Lab

Lived the past 4 years in boy-kingdom, the smell of sweat in class, the attention we got was overwhelming. There's 4 of us to begin with and then there's Dayah, Yati, Zati and Pae.. What a small population, no? The real working world won't be like this. Im gonna miss each and every one of you. There was a time when we realized how much we will eventually end up missing one another, and since then, we'd make the effort to go to an excellent outing nearing the semester's end. Last year we tried Lata Iskandar in Tapah, just an hour's ride from UTP. This year will hopefully be just as fun and memorable. Sigh. Some snippets and whatnots.


Taman Polo, Ipoh. We took a stroll in the middle of the night (in pitch blackness) whilst waiting for our late-nite movie (Harry Potter 3 I think) and went on about good looking Gujaratis and hidden people in the dark, yikes! Purely memorable..wouldn't take the walk alone on any given day by myself!


This was after the waterfall event, all rejuvenated and famished, pizza's the way to go!


At Lata Iskandar

Thanavathy a.k.a. She's the Girl!! For mechanical engineering =) Robust as she is, she is more optimistic then the rest of us and always thinks the good things in people on top of everything. Fortunate for me, we share the same likes and dislikes in people. My petroleum buddy, helps me keep sane for making the darned decision cause she regrets it too, maybe on a different level.

"Don't worry, you'll work with Petronas punye" - my favourite quote on her.



This is Naz, she and I have always been close throughout the years. She'd support me emotionally and usualy got me on the same wavelength. Been to her house once, love the brother cause he is sorta like mine (takpe kan naz?) Materials Lab on Friday mornings brought out our true colors, and zishan always got on our nerves. haha. masuk gak nama die kat blog aku nih. Naz is taking up automotive right now, kudos girl!! I just didn't have the guts to face the challenge. And some other stuff.Nextt~~



Padan muke kau sara
. Hahaha.. But this is actually a good picture of her. She looks good and candid, which is actually how she poses every time, cume kali ni mulut ko comel sket sara..hahaha..The thing is I and probably everyone else, enjoy making fun of her pictures. She always poses in an outrageously silly manner and then the time comes for the batch CD and everyone is supposed to submit a self potrait and she finds that none of hers are senonoh. haha. My catalyst that made me more determined to change courses from civil engineering to mechanical. I'd ask her all the time and she'd be like, "Aku nak tuka kos jugak la, nak amek medic" She's happily married now. Figuratively speaking, that is.



This is my world, I fit in so snug that any adjustment will make the cold seep in much much faster. We have almost come to our end here now, what will we do next? Naz has her sights on Beijing, Petronas will have a joint-venture with China and hopefully she will work her bums off to get into a training program there, Thana will probably adopt kids, or raise kids on her own. Kidding! Sara..I'm guessing she'll be the first to get married, eventhough she keeps giving me this talk about being the eldest and having other plans after graduation. Yea rite sara.. And me? I'll go wherever the wind blows and I am the person you see me to be, because it is you that has guided me and shaped me through the whole journey. Thank you so much. Huargh!!

Batch dinner at the Casuarina Ipoh. The food was hay wire for selection, a mix of beef in black pepper sauce meets kerabu mangga that had more onions than sambal nasi lemak dkat asrama dlu, the door gift was too big, something that wouldn't last me the years. The event was such a drag. My camera's battery died a tragic death. And I don't have a proper photo with gc nor my roomate. Oh, and the theme was black.

Excuse the enthusiasm.
