Well, I'm not anymore a slacker at the office. But today it's just my task is to read up on some microprogramming before the microcontroller arrive. So for today, I'll be slacking for another few hours before leaving office. Anyway, it's my first time blogging at office. I'll update you guys of my working life here.
Oh for those who still don't know, I'm actually just doing an internship. But I have to be in office for 8 hours a day or fulfill 35 hours a week. I am actually doing a low level engineering job such as redesign some circuit board and playing wif soldering and stuff. Currently, I've completed 80% of my main task which is to redesign a charging management circuit for Lithium Polymer batteries, which is those u commonly see in mobile applications such as cellphone. I've already made my design and now sent for board printing. I have to wait for a couple of days and when it arrive, I'll be doing some soldering. For the last few days, I've been doing some soldering practicing. There's very huge difference soldering SMD devices and through hole devices. SMDs are surface mount devices which are mount directly on top of the board while through hole are those devices we played around during "Kemahiran Hidup" classes. SMDs are much much smaller in market, ranged in mm for hand soldering devices. Therefore my supervisor hav to show me some basic SMD soldering techniques.
Yesterday was quite different from usual days. Yesterday I was sent to one of the project site Inhaus 1 and Inhaus 2(www.inhaus.de). It's sort of an innovation house to demonstrate a practical and intelligent house for the future. As you can predict, it's a house for slackers. You just have to step in the house, press a couple of buttons and you can just sit down and relax. I can't explain too much in details what's inside the house, but i can say it's super amazing what technology has brought to us. Check out the link given if you're interested. It's in German but they have an english page. Meanwhile Inhaus 2 is still under constructions but I have to help out the Tech engineer yesterday to do some measurements on personal tracking systems. First time wearing the Phua Choo Kang boots and the helmet. The helmet is in yellow but the boots are black lolx. After doing the measurements, the engineer showed me around the place and explain every single cell what will be when it's completed. From heating systems, to power supply, person sensing, communications, medical aid equipment, everything is so "intelligent". But the facility cost a bomb.
Well, this is why studying in Germany is so fun. You get exposed to state of the art engineering technology. I wish I have the brains like them to develop such a facility.
Of course though I enjoy pretty much working here, But I don't deny it's pretty hectic though i have a few days to slack. When real work comes, I'm dead. I am still writing some remaining exams which are also hardest exams. I have to work from 9 - 5 and study from 19:00 - 22:00 everyday now for the next two weeks. But that's life and it's a good training for my future as next time I have to work my ass off from 9-5 also and then be a family man during the night. Worse if i had children rite?? but it's too far to look on to lolx.
What's worth looking forward to now is my bro Kelsen is coming over on friday. Man, you can never imagine how good it is to meet up your bro in a foreign country. Though I won't have much time to bring him around, but i'll definately spend some time going to Cologne with him.
Officially woke up at 7.45am. Brushed up, dressed up. Wore a layer of long sleeve T and a pullover, with a track bottom and a pair of jeans as usual. For the past few days, I would feel warm with these on, but today was exceptional. I still feel cold despite so many layers. I draw the curtain and look up to the sky, for the past few days it has been shiny bright though it was still around 10degrees. Today, it was cloudy and dark. The moment strikes me the most was when I reminded myself, today was valentine’s day. Ah, the weather indicates the loneliness emotional feeling inside me. I walked to the bus stop with all the heavy and down feelings. I barely had the mood to even step out my room. I wanted to put on the new shoes but, I didn’t. I just felt nothing that could cheer me up on this particular day. After all it might rain and I don’t want to dirty up my shiny white eye catching shoes on the first day itself.
Many of my old friends knew me well, my uncontrollable emotional personality. As for my newly made friends, they knew me as a loyal passionate person. But I knew myself differently. I thought of myself as a stupid, coward naïve nooby person. Always indecisive and lack of self-confidence, I am always in a sigh mode. I always felt the loneliness, but I have to remind myself that I’m the one having the break up. But then again, why am I sighing since I’m actually happy being single and escaped from being a load of another person’s??
Maybe I’ve made too many mistakes. I’ve too many regrets. I’m just having too much time to do nothing. I have responsibilities, datelines, and a life but I prefer to just throw it all aside and be emotional. Many times have I talked about this but it never helps. People say that realizing your addition/mistakes is the very first time to the cure of it. Yes I realized, but what about the cure? It’s not happening at all.
I have no motivation at all. I have several things to look forward to, but if I look further I’ll only fill myself in despair and disappointment. I envy everyone that’s around me. I envy them for what they have. I never learned how to appreciate what I have. Sighz…..

Hoho! 14th February. For the past few years, it's been dramatic for me during this particular day. During high skul, I get to celebrate Valentine's day with her, receiving gifts from her. One of the years in college, something happened to my family that causes me to skip Valentine but I still receive gifts on that day. During the time we broke up, I sent her an email but received a cruel reply. Thought it was the end for me until last year we get to celebrate Valentine's day again. When things are starting to look good, unfortunately, I'm alone again this year. Dramatic. It will be an ordinary day for me this year. Wonder how she's doing. But I rather assume things than to find out. Somethings are better not to know. I assume she's having a wonderful time now. And as for me, I shall move on with life. My task in hand is getting tougher, and exams are around the corner. Anywayz, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO EVERYONE!!!
Sighz, though I'm very emo now, I should start writing something more happy from now on. Forget bout those sad stuff. Finally I received my shoes I ordered. It's my CNY shoe lolx. Check this out...
Before this I was having a hard time deciding which shoe should I buy. I mean, there's a choice between the Adidas Goodyear Racer, or the more expensive Posche Design, or Puma Leviation. This shoe from Hub, a brand that neither you or me have heard before, has a very eye catching outlook. But I was doubting the quality and the price of it because for the price i would pay for this shoe, I could get a more famous brand such as Adidas or Puma. But, I want to be unique this time. Took a risk. After work, I went home receiving an orange card indicating that someone took my package for me. I quickly claim my package from that person, and run up to my room, tear the packaging and rip out the shoe box cover. Yosh...moment i saw the shoe, I was proud that I had such good taste. lolx. Can't wait to wear this out though.
Anywayz, despite the shoe that made me happy for a moment, I still can't freeze the loneliness I felt especially it's hours away from Valentine's day in Germany. Maybe valentine's is not my day after all. Maybe it can never be my day. Sighz, I'm in a great despair.
Lets keep myself busy....with Rubik's Cube!!!
or?? Play something sad?? 寂寞的季节。。。。
风吹落最后一片叶。。。。slap me someone!!! Get a life!!!
lolx....
cheerz

Yo well since Jess commented on my previous post(which she seldom does coz of my super emo post) telling me to post up some of my happy moments too, in order to make her comment more on my blog, so here it goes. Well it wasn't really something super happy but at least it's not those typical Emo ala Douglas style post.
So, CNY's fourth day. What have I done so far? On Eve, My friend/malaysian mate/ apartment mate Kee Hwee decided not to be alone that day as many other malaysians or friends aren't so enthusiastic about big group gatherings. So she decided to sacrifice her time to make steamboat. Normally I would join the preparing part since I'm also one of the main cooks most of the time(though my cooking sux) but I have to do my internship, work from 9 -5 everyday. I could help out though but I have other things that day which i'll tell you in the next paragraph. Anywayz, we had lots of balls for steamboat, i.e fishballs, porkballs, beefballs n many other balls. We had turkey meat, pork, veges, beehoon, crabsticks and many more. Our soup base was chicken ginger soup. And of course, our boat is Kee Hwee's electrical few function in one rice cooker by Philips lolx. Overall, very filling meal.
Aight, now haircut. on eve i told my supervisor to let me off 1 hour earlier coz me n Tharsis had to go 25 mins train to a place called Bochum to have haircut. Though it was far but we knew the hairstylist so we decided to giv him a try. It was my first time having a haircut in Germany in a salon, because my perceptions of European salons for mens are - beckham hair, soldier hair, or skinhead. Lolx. I'll post up a before-after pic later. Well, those hairstyle i meant are those u can get it from a barber in Malaysia. That's why i didn't want to have a haircut here after so long. I even took a pic from the internet of the desired hairstyle and upload it into my handphone to show the hairstylist. It was some typical Jap hairstyle. But somehow I was too shy to take it out to show him. ANywayz, this hairstylist is kinda pro. He knew some of the techniques I've seen in Asian hairsalon. He's kinda funny guy too, playing around wif my hair. But I am very confident in him. So this is the haircut i have.....
Before...Kelsen called it "Ah Liong" hairstyle...lolx
just hours after the cut. he did apply some wax but it wasn't much.
spent about 30 mins in the toilet waxing my hair before a party. Look sleepy though lolx.
So?? If u think it's good u can leave comment. But if u think it's bad, it's better to PM me. nah just leave any comments u like.
Okies....now back to CNY. First day we had a dinner in a restaurant. Buffet style. Food was so-so, but at least we had something this year compare to last years.
On Saturday, I attended a CNY party organized by the Uni. Wasn't that good. Asians are too "closed". I mean, they came wif their friends, and they only stick to their gang. Not like europeans. They'll just move around knowing new ppls. There was a karaoke session, n 8/10 singers are really horrible. I mean, I've been to so many karaoke sessions wif my frenz in malaysia, most of us can sing moderately, only the high pitch are unreachable. But this session, lolx, key not correct, no pitch, monotonic lolx!!!! Only few singers are good. I didn't wanted to sing coz, firstly I dun wan to mempersiahsuikan myself. secondly, the songs available are quite sucky. Only david tao's songs are quite complete but I don't dare to touch his songs because of his extremely high pitch. I'll only sing those if Kelsen is around coz he can back me up. Then they have some Kung Fu show, which they asked some Guai Lou to perform. LOLX. In front of chinese??? LAME!!! the best part of the party was the live acoustic band show. Played songs like Wonderwall, This Love, Germans songs etc etc....
Noticed the Asian Guitarist on the right? He did some solo. He's good. I took a pic with him. He's a Korean who lived in Germany for many years. He said he's gonna have a guitar class soon for free. Haha, Sifu!!!
So, that's about it I guess....

2 weeks gone, another 12 weeks i'll end my internship. So far, didn't learn much practical stuff, but learned alot of theory. Not just fundamentals, but the latest technologies and how it was developed. But I still hope i get to do the hardware stuff soon. Been facing the comp too much, and that's what makes me so sleepy in office. Good news for last week was that the first time I had lunch with my colleagues. Wasn't that awkward as i thought. But I still prefer to have lunch with my normal gang.
Everyone's talking bout CNY now. I am not so enthusiastic about it, since there's nothing much in Germany. This is the 4th CNY I've missed. Though I still get red packet(in the form of extra allowance) from my parents, but what i really missed is the atmosphere. Ironically I didn't take CNY as a very huge thing last time, though I'm always happy CNY comes coz of the holidays and all da good food. Now that I'm in a foreign country where CNY is not so well known, I start to miss everything about CNY. If I do masters here, I'll probably have to miss another 2/3 CNY. ANyway, just to cheer myself a lil, I bought a Levi's jeans for new year. Kinda expensive but i felt it's worth it since Levi's jeans are quite durable and comfortable. I might even spend more on a shoe I'm eying on, which cost about RM400. Still considering. But it's leather and it's durable too. Going to have a gathering dinner on CNY itself in a chinese restaurant. I used to like big crowd celebration, but for now, I kinda prefer smaller celebration with close friends. It's not the quantity, it's the quality. In the end if it's too big bunch we'll tend to split to groups. Of course, sj4p is exceptional because we somehow able to click even in a big group. That was how i felt the last sj4p gathering, but i don't know if things changed now. HOpe not.
When CNY comes, naturally people will also talk about Valentine's since it's usually close to each other. Though I'm happy being single at the moment, but at times like this I'll have alot of thoughts running inside my brain/heart. I kinda miss her though I know it's over. While I was shopping for my jeans, I actually walk through the gift session and actually had a thought of what to get during valentine's but the problem is I've no one to get for lolx. I sux in managing my personal life. Though I'm come so far in life, but I still sux. I'm already getting closer to working life but I'm still a big children. I only know how to run away from problems. And why can't i be more confident in myself?? Sux!
People's blog are so entertaining with all sorts of jokes in it, but mine is always filled with sadness and sorrowness plus loneliness. Probably this would be a good blog to read if someone wants to read sad story. Although my main purpose of writing blog is not to entertain people or being informative, but I sometimes do hope that I can write happy things too. But I guess I'm too selfish. I normally won't have the mood to write blog if I'm happy, only sad moments. Sux!! I look at kelsen's blog, writing about his euro trip experience, sheng wa's humorous blog made me feel more ugly than ever.
Anywayz, HAPPY CNY. Cheerz to everyone. HOpe to meet you guys soon(those in KL).
