TwentyFour on the 24th

I'm a solid 24 now. Countless mistakes, resolution and even more empty promises made. How will I change as the numbers accumulate? I often wonder.

I've decided that the only way to go is to look forward. I should stop thinking about what others think of me, and if it mattered that much I should care more for what my Creator thinks of me. Relevation. I need to learn to be more kind to people. Not everybody is as I want them to think, react, or believe. I want to be around those who love me. Love has always been a problematic area of my life. I came to realize that its not them, it is usually me. I've made amends with someone from my past, I think. I am happy for that.

Who am I today, and what have I achieved?

I am an engineer, still on the road to discovery of the world in full bloom.

I am a daughter, away from my family, in search of what I can claim as mine.

I am human, still in need of your companionship to keep me sane.

I am a lover, learning to love, like you and for all that,

I have You to be thankful to.

Syukur. Alhamdulillah.

Thank you to those who dropped a note and made this day a truly wonderful day to remember. Danke.

Week #5 : Santa & The Project

OTS CTS 019915 + Carl

Not really in the mood to update. But Week #5 was reservoir engineering week. We had Carl come all the way from the states to teach us. He had a thing for geologists. As would all Reservoir Engineers/Production Engineers do I suppose. He is just so funny. And he knows he looks like santa. How cool is that. Cuts away all the guilt from calling him santa in our ym messages!

Loitering the hallways in between presentations,

posed with Andre, Thomas and cutesy May.

Then came the BIG day. Our project 1 presentation. Obviously all the groups procrastinated till the very end and resulted in everyone not getting enough sleep. Every group took 30 minutes to present and then the class had to leave and the presenting group were grilled by our instructor(s). It was ok, they say the 1st one is always the hardest. Scared shit to face the remaining 2 projects.

Felix catching up on his sleep at our place.

During RE week, Dr. Xin is presenting their group's findings from PIPESIM.

One of our old classes. We stayed here for 2 days, classroom 14.

Week #6 we learnt cementing and bla bla bla.. we played SIX rounds of friggin PAINTBALL!!

Infinite Melancholy Sadness

I'm not sure if the title came from a song or it is original. But someone gave me a writing with this as the title. To that someone. Sometimes I miss you. And when I do, everything seems to lose its meaning and my world definitely crumble into pieces.

I just finished taking my test. I am having my period. Is that the main reason to why I am being emotional lately? Or is it his unjust timing of leaving me once in a while that is to blame. Whatever it is. This is super suckkyy.

Losing too is still ours; and even forgetting

still has a shape in the kingdom of transformation.

When something’s let go of, it circles; and though we are

rarely the center of the circle, it draws around us its unbroken, marvelous

curve.

Week 4: The Socializing Thinker

Week 4 we did some fun stuff in class. Basically anything that is deviated from the presentation would be considered fun. The most important thing that I have discovered is the diversity of the class and the world per se. I've made wonderful bonds with the kids in my class, and it is for keeps! Oh and by the way, we always knock our socks off with taking pictures on Saturday afternoons. Its basically the only time in the week we get to be out in the sun if we are not doing practicals outside.

There are so many different types of people and I hate to generalize people into classes or groups. But it is safe to say that we can see how people of different cultures act and react to certain situation.

Anyways we did an online personality test in class and I came out to be the Socializing Thinker. Wadehel. Sounds like some topnotch job as a PR for a company while entertaining potential clients with cocktails and a game of golf. Ngaha. I am sooo in the wrong field! Too late for that. The Socializing Thinker will obtain the colors of green (thinker) and yellow (social butterfly). Thomas' is red (directive) and green ( thinker) = mastermind! Wa wa wa.

Oh and notice the paper bags on our desks? Saturday lunch = shitty lunch. We get cold sandwiches (which most of the time I can't eat since its not halal), chips and coke. Sebu perut aku. Boleh kene saman ke a tulis mcm ni?

No matter where you come from, you are always proud of your roots and origin. It is just that not everybody feels strongly to express it, as a respect to others around them. I think I value that the most about being Asian. Respect is key, and perhaps key to world peace? (apekahhh). I miss my pcs days. Here to end the entry are my class's back street boys.
