bad luck wil bring good lucks

i think this semester is a bad luck semester~

故天将降大任于是人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空伐其身行,行弗乱其所为,所以动心忍性,曾益其所不能.

this quote had make my day~
saying that if the fate were to arrange some great responsibility on you, then it will torture your spirit and physical, make you hungry thus thin, make your life mess up and you do things wrongly, screwing up everything~
i think what i had endure lately, enough for me to be crown as some general king or something big...

i had bad, seriously bad horrible days.

but!
lets not talk about it, good things will still happen i hope...
i believe the greater the bad things strike you, it leads the same magnitude of good to you...
is a balance world, this is how it works..

khaled, as usual, he is psychos~
he said he will never spoon feed us in teaching~
this is what he do to us: when we tell him we are stuck in one question, he ask us to redo it infront of him, the whole class redi.
then he refuse to tell us whats wrong, but insisting us to try it...
when we ask, is it because of XX and blabla?
he say: good! try it( without telling you the truth!~)
and this cycle last 2 hours plus.

so, you will have to doing it again and again with different method, banging your head in unknown direction...
he said there is a step of doing question like that, but he will not tell us now
(ofcuz it sound pretty relax reading this post, how you people going to imagine how he stare at you and ask you question and insist you to answer while you don't even know what he talking?
and he threaten you he is going to leave immediately if he got no response for you....
you can only pray somebody in the class come to rescue~)

thou he then explain the steps to us in the next day~
but how could he let us go easy, he again torture us~ (and lets not go into detail)


fyp?final year project?
how bout fyp?
the blog topic will stick on khaled too~is kaizenboy.blogspot.com, is KAIZEN!
is my fyp title, as long as this blog stay, i will talk about khaled.

i shown him my progress, actually i have no progress until few hours before i met him, when i rearrange everything i have...(and! the point is, every thing i have, includes the journals, and the summary i have, is all done during the 2nd week, refer back to my previous post and see how terrible my life could be, seeing it back, it is still horrible, imagine i had done half a semester of work during week 2 of the semester~~)
i guess i just have to see him before the mid term break.

so, see, this is the good deed the suffer at 2nd week brings to me...
at least now i don have progress and i can still see him and show him everything like i am been doing it so hard.
and know what?
he said what i did is very good.
the progress at this period, and the direction and my idea~

i got khaled compliment!

i almost cried~
(rubbish)

and lastly, i would say it is about my housemate,
i am staying in a house with 3 people, i, Tony, and SUB

SUB is troublesome people, and i am not friendly, and he think i am not friendly(which is true), and feel upset bout that.
and i don't care.

i am a group leader of this particular subject and i sent everyone email, with PDF journal attach on it, and ask everyone to summarize the respective journal.
because i am lazy to get a meeting, is stupid, so i simply sent email to everyone.
then i forget about it, i didn't even mention to Emily or shorty or whoever~
and SUB happen to be one of them i didn't inform face to face(actually none of them i tell in face), and he is upset,
he complain to Tony that i treated him like outsider(i don know what makes he is insider thou)
then he ask me to tell him in direct if got anything, don sent email...
i tell him that i didn't do this particularly to him, i do it even to my close fren~
and so he emphasize that we stay in the same house~

ble!
duh!!i sometimes SMS Tony while i am just playing computer beside his room~
don't get it why he think we are so close~

we are like SUBstitute to him, when he like to have dinner, lunch with you, we are expected to call him along, but if he is not interested, he didn't bother to let you know~
his out going plan, movie fun or whatever, thou i am not interested to follow, but he never ask too, and we are expected to be close?

hell no!
we are NOT close, i hate you, and i feel you don't like me either~
i am fine with it~!i am not friendly, this is not something new on me.

well, this is just some case, want more? tell me, i will give you more....
but this is not interesting...

well, life goes on~
life is hard...

i am fed up with you too ;)

Khaled is totally random, absurd and ridiculous and unpredictable!

Well, today is Tuesday, last few weeks the whole class one sound agree to have the mid term test today, and yesterday, he ask us is it ok to have it today…

And great, my fellow class mate feel it is too rush, then say it is NOT OK..

Then he ask us to crack out a date.

Well, for me, it doesn’t matter me much.

Lately, this slumberness has strike me, and I feel pressure zero for anything…

Come what may

So, they ask me for suggestion, I said anything will do.

Some of them propose after mid break, some them say next week, Thursday, night morning Saturday and whatever~~

After mid break is proposed by ‘fox eyes’, and Julian said, cannot! After mid break got more test, why drag it after break..

After some argument, ‘fox eyes’ came out with the proposal of after break again, then Julian got frustrated and say: why are you keep saying after break! I told you, lots of us cannot do that, lots of subject after the break!

Khaled: oh, now we have conflict huh~

Then come out with the solution is either….see, people, EITHER this Thursday or next Thursday

Helo~

EITHER?Means what?

Last week, we plan to go for movie, and due to this Tuesday test, my weekend is totally ruin~

And now, the test is like, ‘I don’t know’ quote, khaled

Fine, it doesn’t matter me.

So, for this particular day, I am as usual, slumber~


Today Tuesday, during his tutorial session, he said, THIS Thursday, and see he can get the room or not..
Again, this is EITHER right?
Hey, is now just me is the one who feel confuse, I ask KKK too, he is confuse too.

He ask us about one example he gave us, which is actually only one question, but consist of 10 pages…

I didn’t get that example yet actually….and never really intend to study.

Come on, 10 page one question…

Haha, I guess I am not the only one, cuz when he ask any problem while reading that, no one actually answer him…

And he said we didn’t study, and we all shall get zero for the test

After that he said that we should at least get 50% of the marks

The mid term should cover 3 chapter, and today he said, take out the 3rd chapter.

And he start to tell us that he got to go kl on this Friday and something, as usual, the story stop half way without reason, and end with ‘ I don’t know’

And asking whoever got appointment with him on Friday don’t go and see him, and Mini’s appointment is on Friday, Mini request for another appointment, then he say Tuesday afternoon he got appointment with ‘point to me and kkk’…

Then he ask: are you guys coming to see me this afternoon?

Km, kkk: no….

Khaled: Fantastic! Then you can come this afternoon(talk to MINI)

=.=’’’

Seriously~ I don’t see you today, and it suppose to be fantastic?

Long sigh~~

What am I for him?

I think is my turn to say, I am fed up with you too~

Actually i can cook~~ a little

Today, is Friday~

Is holiday, cause I skipped class and sleep
Due to Khaled suddenly add on another topic on next Tuesday mid term exam, our plan for today batman is canceled.

Why cancel? Cause to study? No, not at all…
Is the guilt that you go to movie, you feel guilty.
But you stay at house and sleep, you don’t feel guilty~
Weird huh

But! We got alternative plan too, today is cook day.
Me will be responsible for the vege, kangkung(I choose myself from the market )
Aj will be responsible for the meat+egg
And emolai will be playing with her skill on chicken breast and mushroom and ginger ++

Until I met Sue online at about 4pm, I told her about our plan on cooking and consulted her on vege thing
She is like si lai already~ she knows how to play with the vege. (not only that, when I having the period where the water is so mudy, I ruin my cloth when I put it to wash, Sue also teach me to bleach them back to white)
She asks me go wash it now, and rinse and put salt and soak, then rinse and wash then put there.
So good.
But lucky me, I buy the vege the time, I see it clean d only I buy~
:D

So, after aj done with his eggs, and emolai teach us how to do the ginger chicken, is my turn to perform..
This is my 1st time, normally at home, I am the 2nd hand to play with cooking.
I will be ask to wash the vege, cut the garlic and fry them before start putting in everything….
And then my mother will take over..
I never get the chance to cook something on my own..
So, what I can do is just observe and learn.

Result~
I cook nicely~;D
Indeed, everyone cooking was so alright, have a very nice meal. Serenity

(day after that, Saturday, cook another type of vege, with some meat in it, and it turn out nicely too! )
Victory!
I am addicted in cooking!

dizi exam

Last week was really hard.
MMU department demand me to drop one of my subject to satisfy 18 hour maximum, I dropped my favorite survival course, my computer spoil, after restored, my keyboard break down cause I pour water on it(and it said it is split resistance, rubbish!), do the summary for my supervisor and then he said he don’t want, writing is a waste of time, grouping matter make me feel awkward seeing my housemate, weirdo walking in and out my house and Emily happen to be here when weirdo is in my house, she will ask: who is that? I wil say I don know~

Nevermind~

This week will be hard too, but a little easier I hope.
Have a lab on Tuesday, Thursday a assignment, nex Tuesday lab report, nex Tuesday midterm.
Means, this weekend is a Malacca week.

I went to practice my dizi beside my house at the park there, at the corner where I used to play and get the serenity of playing. I thought I am capable to eliminate the disturbance around and play in my world, but today it seems I am very bothered by people walking around, the mosquitoes, the ants, the worms~

I can’t play freely, I have constraint; when I have constraint, I don’t play nicely

This particular uncle who always happen to come back and park his car nearby the park at this particular timing, come too~
Today he say to me, very good, got lots improvement~

After he play around with his little jungle (he plants something nearby there, a papaya, some pandan leaves and blabla~)
He said: you are very good, you joined competition?
I said: erm, I don’t think there is competition like that….but I have exam
(He then said maybe hongkong and china might have~)

Well, I think he is the only one who gives me compliment In this path of practicing for my dizi exam ~
Very great encouragement~

My teacher’s greatest compliment is: if you eliminate X, Y, Z(some factor to be correct), then you can get good result~

My housemate greatest compliment is: ok la~~
Then I said: ok only ah? I thought I am very good?
He said: not bad la~~
I said: Then I play for you again (prepare~~)
He said: no need la~~
I said: is really that bad huh!?
He said: is not bad, is too loud~ ; )

My sister: shouting! You can play other time or not! Very noisy ah!

My EX ixora housemate
: (door slam)

MMU guard: Sudah habis? sudah mau tutup pintu~
(if i play in Fser)

So, how could I not appreciate this uncle’s compliment~

khaled: i am fed up with you

i am taking china chinese instrument grading test this coming august,
the rules stated that we are required to play 2 song, and one scale...

i had my chinese flute class yesterday night, my teacher who always give me pressure never praise me in any sense before said one of my song was alright(with lots of except here and there should be like this like that ofcuz),
but hey, he saying that i am alright...

finally, i feel confident a little...
if this is a strategy, by next lesson, he will be complaining again, maybe saying last week i was better or sort....

but another song, still not yet in the path...

while i was glad-ing that finally something getting into path...
you know, survival course got a proper lesson next week, my dizi practicing, decided to help out COS...
this particular evening after i went to post office and get my post laju envelope, i went to khaled class...
(i am not late, he was early)
while i am asking emily what i missed...
he turn to us, pointing at me and KKK, you guys got problems.
his slang i cannot learn, but the rough meaning is something like we are not in the right direction yet, once we are in the right path, then we no need to see him often, just see him when necessary.
and, we are not there yet...
suddently he said to KKK: you can work on Kanban(another of japanese concept)

and talk to me: ..you, ....i don't know, i am fed up with you... you know, it is like starting up a car, cannot ignites, i feel tired already..

=.='''

seriously, what i did wrong?he assigned me a job this tuesday asking me to pass up my summary of what i read nex week, and after 2 days he is fed up with me? T.T

nvm, cool...
this is him
FAB and MINI(the other 2 of his student, ladies, and his favourite) contrast my bad.
i should had know his style when i choose him as my supervisor, who to blame?no one.

his lecture OR(operation research), is an elective over ICE(internal combustion engine), and obviously i choose OR...
this is the 3rd week, we have 9 hours lecture and 2 and a half tutorial, we haven't yet done with one chapter.there is only 10 student in his class, during lecture, he looking at all of us, staring at you, and ask: get it? GET IT?

then you can only say YES YES, UNDERSTAND...actually i don't.
i wanted to choose not to answer, everyone wanted to do that, but too bad, he said if we keep quiet, then he will make very bad mid term for us.
and he telling us he is trying to make us like OR...T.T

in contrast, ICE only have one hour lecture in 3 weeks, and done with one chap, and everyone say it is very easy

life is always not perfect
bad instead.

(today i draw birthday paper during lecture, not OR ofcuz,
happy birthday 2nd son, people reading this, wish him happy)

til next time! good day~

:)

Survival course 2

Survival course 2
Today is the 2nd class, mission is to know a new friend.
Survive in the class, with friend is a must, and this is simply a part of the syllabus (I said so)

I am waiting for a malay po, during zeroth class she sat beside me and I ask her where is the teacher
Also waiting for calligraphy boy and prepare the speech: eh! I remember you, you are from calligraphy class rig..and bla..
In the same time sms Sue

I guess chance come, you don't grasp, no 2nd chance come…
Zeroth week malay po, 1st week calli boy, miss both the chances to know them…
If I miss today chance, I will regret…

So, after 20 minutes, I talk to the gal beside me..
Is a Chinese gal, she looks sweet, not the one to share treasure hunt story gal.
I said: hi, my name is khaimun, erm..did he just said next week got outing? (the speech is actually in Chinese)
(The teacher say next week going to Ayer Keroh hutan recreaksi, play rope)

She said: I think so, and I know you… you from COS (Chinese orchestra society) right? I remember you.
Km:

Km: serious? How come I don’t know you? But I quit already wor…

She: you play dizi de rig, the time I alpha, you are still there I guess

Km: so you from COS also, what instrument you playing?


(After that, conversation continue a little, and I ask for his phone, his email msn and tell him anything I will call you)

Sue! Your comment is right, music did really bring me good luck~

Since the semester starts, at khaled case, at survival course case, COS had do me favor
So, if the situation allow, COS, this semester, you got me
I will be your flute player once again (if you want me) , big pay back k, i am seriously busy k

The class then continue for about 40 minutes, and the teacher really putting everything on us, ourself..
He chooses the calligraphy boy as monitor, good enough, because he needs attention.
Monitor are required to discuss with us when to go outing, Jelebu, (a jungle, we going to stay there), or Tioman, or both(sea and mountain ma, good for feng shui)
He think that we should separate into 2 group, 2 organizing group to organize the trip… if the group of people successful bring the class there, the whole group got A…sort of marking.
Hey, he said easy get A, this is not that easy to suit the whole class.

He then say bye and left us, ask us to discuss.

The class discussion with monitor start with the selection of committee, suggestion are 100% satisfy, you point her, then she become who you want her to be….everyone wants to go home early, everyone agree with anything. What to do, we don’t know each other, how to vote….cin cai lo
And ending up decided to go trip at the beginning of mid term break.

This is going to be the most interesting mid break I will get…


the journey of SURVIVAL BEGINS~~

survival course 1

Survival course

I am taking this particular cocu subject, it teach us how to live in the jungle(jungle trekking..), sea(kayaking, swimming), navigating, and blabla..
Sort of things, so don’t ask me what it is anymore.

Today is the 2nd lesson, so talk about what happen in the 1st lesson. (ohya, actually there is a zeroth lesson, people waiting for half an hour and end up I walk out and the whole class dismiss with me leaving)
1st lesson, It was nothing, seriously nothing.
3 teachers came in, and intro and saying that the teaching will be conduct in malay…
IS oppose, but too bad, it still conduct in malay. (Teacher asks them to sit in between Malaysian, and ask them to translate, what kind of teaching is this?)
It is stupid actually, they tell us very little info about the subject only, but did successful make me have the concept that this subject, is totally screw up, there is no fixed syllabus, no scope…and the teacher don’t really know what to do with us.
Don’t get mmu wrong, mmu didn’t force them to teach this, these teachers proposed the subject.
They know lots of knowledge I guess, but if there is no syllabus to teaching, they just share their knowledge in random?

And I know no one in the class, I am so alone… I was thinking, I am going to drop this stupid subject..
Until!!
Km: sir, so is there any test? Final? Mid term?

Cikgu: ofcuz~ there will be written test (oh, good, then at least there is something to study) but not much… 60% is attendance.

People: wah!!!

Cikgu: not enough? Then make it 70%..ok?

Km: (I am not going to drop this subject already)

Cikgu: then 30% written test…

They then convince us that this is not only easy to get A, but easy to get A+
So, I think maybe I should giv it a shot…

Until!
Class introduction, everyone are required to stand up and intro, and tell everyone your own experience in outing.
Until me, I stood up and intro my name, (excluding my academicals age, epsilon is simply too old for cocu), and
Km: allow me to use English, BM saya, lama tak guna, macam tak pernah belajar langsung…I don’t actually have any outdoor experience, basically I sleep all day long, just sleep.

(oh, I tot it would be funny, but apparently it is not, I become a weirdo out of sudden, people looking at me, and expect me to continue…it become cold until the teacher say, oh you just sleep study eat and sleep right?)
Km: not much on study, sleep more…
(then sit)

I want to slap myself suddenly

I want to drop the subject,

when more weirdo appear after me, one of them appear to be too shy to talk, after saying his name, he shut….teacher force him to say something (duh, something, say you don like outing, you don’t do outing at all), he resist to talk anymore, but grin….
And some ‘appearance’ weirdo (you will not be interested to talk to them when you see them kind of weirdo), say they play computer games only
And some do not have outing experience, but like to talk, like this gal, she share her experience of treasure hunt, saying the people will bluff you about the info, then you got to becareful….
(Until people start talking, cuz no one interested anymore…)

Until this guy sitting beside me, very active, cannot stop moving and talking..
He pat me and smile to me good bye me at the end of the class, say see you.
Oh, I remember him; he is my class mate during my calligraphy class!
I should talk to him just now; he is a good people. Except that he is too noisy, like need attention.

I will stay, I won’t drop

Thanks to you calligraphy boy
Make me feel the world is afterall a warm place(yes, the room have no air con, it is so hot!)

kaizen boy, the prologue

welcome to my 3rd blog, the previous one, i throw them away already, don't mind them...

i don know why do i want to blog as i am so busy this semester, maybe this is a channel to release stress? imagine every sentences of mine wil be read by somebody, get it shared, i will glad.

some intro will do,
i am taking 6 subject this semester, including one final year project or thesis or whatever, one cocu subject, survival course(is something like how to survive in sea, jungle, hiking, navigation and stuff), and other is... you know, subjects...

my final year project supervisor khaled told me 6 subject is too heavy,
(hinting me to drop one), then ask me to consult my academy advisor, i did, and he did too...
still ending up telling me it is too heavy, thou at last he accepted me as his fyp student.
but his acceptance is quite dramatic, he never really like me with my result....i am just average..
until:
khaled: what activities you join? a lot? (means: why the result so so only?)

km: no, i just join chinese orchestra (i quit already thou, i just went to instrument lesson)

khaled: orchetra? (got excited), what instrument you play?

km: dizi, chinese flute, and show how i play it....

khaled: (he imitate my action holding flute), you know, in europe, they have instrument like this too...

km: ohya, i know, is call flute, i played that during my secondary school, i join school band...

khaled: ya? you know, it is good, music is good.....(silent a while), you know, i like piano, violin, they are beautiful...

km: i actually play piano, but haven't get to finish the grading exam...

khaled: why?

km: well, i will, after i finish my study here in malacca...

khaled: silent a while... then say, ok, you fill in the forms and giv it to me, then we will see how (one lecturer are considered to accept somebody when he take forms from him/her, as they sign the form, you are his study)

km: (overjoyed) oh, ok, tml? later? i can giv it to you later (i don know wait suddenly he change his mind or what)

khaled: doesn't matter, tml will do....

km: ok!

khaled: know what, you got really lucky, you got this title because of the music..i feel you are a very sentimental person..

km: ......(should i say thank you? i feel insulted a little....)

*my topic have nothing to do with music at all

so, kaizen approach in manufacturing sector.
here am i, the kaizen boy...
the path full with torn, i begin my jouney...
