The title means end of march by the way. It's another update post or should I call it boring post. Well, as I've mentioned before last time when i started my internship, I am no more a slacker. Really, I find I'm much more a useful person after starting my internship. I wake up early, sleep early, go to work, come back relax. I felt really like this is the real life. I mean an adult grown up life. Only weekends I slept late for games. I am theoretically more healthy, but I'm still lack of sports. Therefore I'll be playing badminton today, though I've not been touching the racket since 10 years already!!!!
About my work. I finally get all the SMD components soldered on my PCB board. And when I apply voltage on it, the LED lights up perfectly. It's a good sign, meaning there's no short circuit or bad soldering that would cause malfunction. So the next thing is to put in a battery and start charging it. Here comes the part where if the circuit wasn't well designed, the battery will turn to a C4 without the timer. I constantly monitor the current, and wuahlah! Works perfectly. So, meaning my first and main task in Fraunhofer institute was successful!!! Now, I'm given a microcontroller, and I'm suppose to play around with it, and start doing some programming for the remaining time of my internship contract.
then, a good news to share. I got a 1.0(which is the best grade) for this subject i took last 2 weeks, "Fundamentals of Electrical Energy Technology". Normally, I am happy if i get a 1.0 just for short while, you know the moment when i saw the result but after that I'll be like, ooh no big deal. But this paper made me happy for such a long time. Mainly because while I was taking this exam, I had to work during that period. It was like working morning, studying at night. And I sacrifice my weekend which is suppose to be my only rest days for exam preparation. With such limited amount of time, and in such stressful condition, I still manage to perform to my max in this paper, and that's why I am more than glad. I'll reward myself a starbucks maybe today after the badminton session.
What else, well though I'm pretty free now, But in office I still have to spend alot of time and concentration reading and learning how to use the microcontrollers. If I'm able to master it, it would be a big line in my CV, and of course it would be a big advantage for me when i start applying for jobs. Speaking bout that, I've had a small discussion with my mom again. Well apparently my bro is expected to grad around July, which unfortunately I can't attend his convocation. And to make things even further, I might do my masters here in Germany(i mean not in this blardy shitty town). But for sure I'll be back in Malaysia for some time after I grad. Gosh, I miss those Karaoke sessions and I think I might take up singing lessons. I mean, I know how to sing, but it's different from singing well. I luv singing, no doubt but of course I'm not dreaming of going for 8TV project superstar or those 星光大道. Just like to sing for fun. Especially I can sing and play the guitar now, I would luv to have a better voice. Who knows it could be one of those things that my future gf/wife would admire. Lolz!!!!
Would luv to update more, But i know my blog is getting dull. so, i'll plan some good post with some nice pics.
Well, I'm sure the most heated topic in every blog and forums from a malaysian would be the latest election results. Before this election, I wasn't really interested in politics. I set my mind that things wouldn't change in 50 years to come, like I've mentioned in my previous blog. I was suprised to see such turnovers on saturday. Coincidentally, on Saturday, besides the election there were also football. It was the underdogs day. Man Utd lost to Portsmouth, while Chelsea lost too. So it totals up to BN, Man Utd, and Chelsea these 3 big dominant clubs/parties to lose on that day. Technically, BN didn't lose as they are still the majority, but to suffer such a big loss, it's history. But they still lost just like a constant "A" scorer in academics suddenly gets a "B" and call himself failed!
I'll talk a lil about my view. It's a good thing that finally Malaysian people dare to speak out. All the dissatisfaction. Democracy is getting more obvious in Malaysia. It's the people that decides the government not the government decides the people. Though I have fears of what the opposition would do, but I still believe it's a new start. A new chapter of malaysia. It was really hard battle for Opposition(or currently the government in some states) to get till this far. Since independance, non of these results have been achieved. But, they're given 5 years. If you do stupid things in these 5 years, the next round you're gonna get knocked out!!! So do as you promised, and make malaysia from good to better till BEST!!!
I'm in Germany for more than 3 years already. I love this place, the people here, the infrastructure, the technology and the freedom I get here. But, I'm a MALAYSIAN. Honestly, If you pay me a fortune to take away my citizenship, I'll giv u hell before you do so. There's no better place to be or there's no better nationality to be than being a MALAYSIAN. We have good food. We can blend western and eastern culture. Most of us speak both English and Mandarin, which is the 2 most widely spoken language. We have one of the talest building, and although I never learned how to appreciate it, and always condemn government for spending so much on such a building which basically doesn't have a clear purpose, but I realize after leaving malaysia so long, that it is a trademark of malaysia. It is beautiful especially night scene. KL is beautiful, Selangor is beautiful, Penang is beautiful, Terengganu is beautiful. Basically Malaysia is "HOT"!.
I've spoken to many people about Malaysia or some people here asked me about malaysia. Many Europeans that I've spoken to, will normally travel to Singapore, Indonesia , Thailand but somehow neglected that malaysia is between Singapore and Thailand, and it's also one of the beautiful place to be. It's like between sing and thai, there's nothing there. As for some people, which i don't want to mention who, take malaysia as part of their country. BULL!!!. We're Malaysia. Although our flag looks like US flag, or our national anthem sounds like "menula moon", and our people look like Indonesian/Indian/Chinese but we're Malaysian, Malaysian Chinese and Malaysian Indian. You can't classify us as those people who "forget our root", COW!!. Look, our ancestors might be from "Mainland", but they've migrated to a place call MALAYSIA. So we're MALAYSIANS!!! we speak CHINESE but wif a lil blend, so we've our distinctive way of speaking CHINESE. We have our own words such as "jiwang", "mempersiahsuikan" and we're not shy of using it eventhough some people thinks it's very Kampung-ish. If you consider us as part of you, then you should also say that "Americans" are part of British since they're originally British.
I love malaysia, and I am Malaysian. SHADDAP SUCKERS!!!

This photo wasn't edition wif any photo editing software. It was taken originally like that. Enjoy :)
You know, Memories of the time I spent with Samantha is still fresh eventhough I've only spent very limited time with her. I knew her via Maxis Roadshow 2004 in Penang. At that time, she gave me her first impression as a bad girl. But I get to know her slightly better after the 4 days of roadshow. I had to resign from my post since I've received an admission letter to Germany. During the time where they had roadshow in Sunway Pyramid, I was there, mainly to fetch Gabe to work but I get to meet her too. We didn't talk much as Gabe was closer to her. But still I feel her presence and i knew she felt the same way.
One year later, I went home from Germany. I had a mamak outing wif her and Gabe. I had some problems wif my cellphone and she knew many people who can fix it. She's so willingly to help me. I was shy as usual facing girls. I didn't talk much. But i regretted. I thought maybe in the future I had more chance to talk to her. Get to know her better. She's Gabe's and Kelsen's good friend. I knew I missed out alot during my time in Germany. I really want to catch up as soon as I finish my course and return to Malaysia.
She left. Just like that. Kelsen and I were even talking about her when we went shopping before we heard this terrible news. And after that it was an on and off feeling. During daytime, I live my life as usual. But as soon as i return home, I'll think of her. I had people around me leaving me. But never had any friends which are so close in terms of age, to leave just like that. C'mon, is it that hard?? Yes it is, to accept it. I only had 1 picture of her, which is the one taken from the roadshow. But ironically, her image is all over me.
Please everyone, appreciate every person around you. I'm giving lousy advice here as I'm the one unable to do so. I'll miss you always, Sam......

I had a plan to write some stories bout Kelsen visiting me in this post. But I have more important things to write here.
I had a terrible headache yesterday in the office. I left half hour earlier without even telling my supervisor. The moment I reached home, Kelsen, who was chatting wif Gabe, turn around and looked at me for while..and told me a very horrible news. One of our friend, Samantha had passed away. I'm not very close to her, but I knew her and we worked together once for Maxis roadshow. We had tea together once when I returned to malaysia during 2005. And that was last I heard about her. She's a very nice person. When I was in Germany, we never contacted each other anymore. Surprisingly she still remember me.
I'm speechless. Rest In Peace my friend.
