A Saturday Morning in the Office

Staring blindlessly into the glass
Whilst the right hand commanding the mouse
Pointers moving swiftly here n there
Rectangulars, circles n whatnot
Extruding up, down, left and right
Tolerance in the mind
Brain working at full capacity
Waiting endlessly for it to perform
This is the life...
Is this the life?

The InBetween

This sounds like a confusion
A doubt that blurs the in between
Anchor down deep into the sea
Drowns and suffocate the clueless of him

He sees red and blue
Not knowing the road that is true
Claiming to know as what he has known
But flipping out on words of the spoken

This is confusion
A paranoia that brings into doubt
No doubt it is blinding
With voices going into opposite ways

Slave to the voices
He bangs and bangs his head
Trying to pull them out
and be as Singular

United
Straigth path..

A week and a half of years to come...

So now, it's been 8 days to be exact. 8 days of being an employee of Sony EMCS. It's a 3 months contract for a start as a probation under the MTP (Management Trainee Programme).

Job title?

Design Engineer. Under the Product Design 3 department of the Video Design division.

What will i be designing?

Video players that is Blu-ray or maybe DVD for Sony. Market for the whole wide world.

But i'm a Mechanical Engineer grad! What the hell am i doing in an consumer electronic company?

Well, I'll be handling the engineering part that those electronic engineer don't know how!

Main thing would be designing the inside chasis of the player, the outside casing including front panels (its cosmetics and all), and also a bit about the ventilation and cooling of the electronics.

Those electronic engineer may know how to design fast, efficient and state-of-the-art chip, but they surely don't know how to control those heat! haha!
They also don't know about material type, strength etc.

So, that's where we Mechanical Engineers come in! Designing those beautiful looking casings of the video players, those inside chassis which hold all those electronic boards, displays, and I/O's in place rigidly, and making sure it's main chip won't overheat!

5-years-Brogarian

5 years in this place called Broga. Witnessing the development from dark winding road to a big 2-lane roads. Let me take back to 5 years ago...

Around the end of September 2005; a f**ked up welcome i received from Pioneer Centuries Sdn Bhd. Had to wait for around 3 hours in front of their office coz my name wasn't one the list on their computer. After 3 hours, baru r nak carik initiatif nak tgk kat hardcopy document, n there i was in the list. Not only that, da dpt bilik, kunci lak bilik lak xde coz they give it to some other student who came earlier n they placed them there for awhile. Didn't remember how it was solved frankly. That night, suddenly there was a blackout. Yeah, what a welcoming treat to the life in Broga.

Foundation was like a honeymoon year, the 1st sem was only about a month and a half or sumthing in the ugly building of the old KL Campus and the 2nd and 3rd sem in the new campus here in Broga. At night, quite often was the visit to Ibrahim Maju, ordering the same thing; Roti Pisang (influenced by Doyeh) and Nescafe Tarik. One time, gile main Counter-strike kat CC. Siap bleh buat 2 3 round per car from broga-semenyih nak maen ramai2 pnye pasal (only me n Nik Izwan had a car that time). One night, it was raining heavily and we were in a CC at Semenyih, and time nak balik tuh, the road to broga was flooded. coz it was too deep, we had to go back to semenyih, and waited at IM tunggu banjir surut. Other most significant experience was, kene tahan dgn polis otw back to Broga. Two police in their motorcycle stopped us, questioning us and looking around my Volvo. Coz we had nothing to hide and do nothing wrong, xde point r die nak paw. hahaha.

Then enter the 1st year of Degree. Lived at the off-campus in TTS 2. The year my love story with Cheb @ Nur Hafizah Umar starts! Nik Izwan, fahmi, sharingan, Dann and Arwah Shadan was my housemate. Notable events? One night the TNB's house was on fire. Explosion sounds was heard from our house and we noticed bright light from there. BOMBA came but the fire was already out i think. only smoke. Adeke diorang sembur air kat situ. Hampess tol.. But i think the most notable one was during the summer break after 1st year, when i received the shocking news through a phone call from Ammar. My housemate, Shahdan passed away. It was quite a shock. I know he's quite sick during the term. Sometimes, he has to be hospitalised during the weekend and he was taking quite a lot of medicine (for a 20 year old). But I never actually thought it was life threatening one. Never really know what disease killed him.

Al-Fatihah. Moga rohnya dicucuri Rahmat.

2nd year, still in TTS 2, the opposite row of the same road in the 1st year. Syapiq n Co. lived at my old house. Cheb's house was exactly behind! The year i know Shah, the singaporean guy next door. I think, the new road was finished (or started?) this year. No more winding road and flooded when rain pours down heavily. The most unforgetable event this year was during the exam weeks. The night before the Computational Numerical Techniques paper. I was studying when suddenly Peja came into my house telling me that my car's windows was hit. that night, a group of the local indian gangster came into TTS2/3 and smashed the windows of 5 cars. My front and back window was hit and shattered. Dann's car was also hit. Spent the night at Kajang's Police Station making the report which was never followed up by them.

3rd year, we lived on our own. No more under the stupid Pioneer Century management. In a 2-storey bungalow with 5 rooms. Pak Cik Sani is our landlord. Nik (Izzat) can make a great impression of him! This was the final year for Sharingan, Dann n Hareez. At this house, we had Internet! No more curik wireless account of students like in 2nd year. Hareez menjadi hardcore addict of Cabal! Nearing to the end of that year, our house got 6 cars, one of each. Quite a bz year this year. Mostly coz of the Individual Research Project; entitled Aerodynamic Drag Prediction of a High Speed Vehicle. The 'High Speed Vehicle' was called Jetblack , a real project with the objective of breaking the land speed record of New Zealand and Australia.

And the final, MEng year. Only 15 of us MARA students of our batch left and I'm the only one doing Mechanical! Still the same house as 3rd year, but with Anas, Uyus and Akram and also the 3 cats; Spotty, Tiger and Pretty! 3 kucing yg sangat gedix! Also a bz year, with GDP, designing a thermoacoustic stirling enigne with Zad, Ammar and Seetho as my groupmate. Spent lots of time at the workshop and solid mechanic lab this 1st sem fabricating experiments apparatus and doing experiments. In the end, xjadi pun enjin tuh. Hahaha.

So, here it is today. The night after my final ever paper; Advance Technology Review. A dissapointing ending coz didn't hav enough time to do it all.

What's next? Job hunting for sure! Already did 3 interviews and got no answer back at all.

...and i wait anxiously for the unkown number to call me and offer me an interview (or a job!).

this place is Death

You arrived!
in my dream..
Beside me every night,
you and me
We explode!
through the scene..
We try to drain the night
empty

No one ever goes off in every way
Like you do...

We got together
We weaved our web
Tangled in the waves
We expected to see red
We both erupt in colors
And carve out our names
You keep me aroused
I know you
feel the same

You arrived!
in my dream..
Beside me every night,
just you and me
We explode!
through the scene
We try to drain the night
empty

No one else has a hold over me
like you do.
You open up the covers, you lure me in
Tackle me anxious, back into bed
Where I hope to discover all of your ways
This place is death
I know you
feel the same

You arrived in my dream
Beside me every night, just you and me
We explode through the scene
We try to drain the night in every way

M.A.L.A.Z.Y

Day by day..
semakin malas..
malas to do this, malas to do that..
while staring at the screen..
knowing nutting to do..
to think like there's something important in front of the eyes...
but pressuring self about important things that havn't been done..
destroyer of self...
increasing the stress upon self..
unnecessary but no effort of overcoming..
when would this stop?
change is all that's said
but when would change be what is done?

FUCK YOU!

23rd on the 2nd of 3rd...

So now, i'm 23. well practically, starting at around 0530 hours (GMT +8).

What hav i achieved in this Allah-given life of 23 years? well, i'm at a fancy name university (that everyone keep thinking its only in UK or for a twinning programme), under a scholarship (well, more of like a 'flexible-loan') and i'm in my final year to achieve MEng/BEng (another confusing thing, would i be a master graduate or a degree graduate?) in Mechanical Engineering.

Used to want to be a pilot, but things didn't went as what i wanted and MARA sent a mail to me home offering me 'flexible-loan' at a fancy name university (although the old KL campus looks ugly and cikai giler). So i accept it n now here i am.

But how about achievement whithin? well, i'm a lousy Muslim. still day dreaming alot, and ppl still think i'm blurry!

Things don't have to stay that way. I can change! although i said it one too many time and still didn't really succeed it, but I'll change to a better superhuman!

Oh Yeaaaah!!!!!!!!!

"Perseverance;
Against all opposition;
Crushing all limitations;
Pure strength through solitude;
Discipline and determination!"

ETA - 4 Months

The 2nd last semester has just finished at 5 pm. 4 papers altogether. and i performance? just average i'm afraid. only excelled at one paper and sucked at 3 others. the last one, Elements of Noise Investigation was quite a dissapointment. thought that i could go smoothly through it but the questions aren't like before. it's more twisting and need more of understanding about the subject. just hope that i got to maintain above 60% (2nd class upper) as the result.

So, one last sem now. Work/Career would be next. when do i start applying? should i just sit around at home for 2 or 3 months before hunting jobs or do i start immediately? well, the 'plan' now would be start applying for the 'big ones' first right after getting the exam result, and after UNMC's career fair perhaps.

Hmmmm............

Plexi SE demo!

Demo of my plexi SE.

already biased to a closer plate dissipation value. resulting in a louder overall volume. no really signifacant tone changes noticed though.

all are recorded using youtube's online webcam recorder with a cheap mic.
