CIDB Seminar

We attended a CIDB (Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia) seminar last Saturday which is compulsory for us in order to obtain a Green Card to enter construction site in the future. We are future Civil Engineers ( .. if manage to graduate la...), there are chances that we will need to go to the sites.

Oh ya.. forgot to mention, it was a 8-hour seminar.

Joshua was called to be the volunteer to demonstrate the right way of using safety harness.

At the end of the seminar, each of us get a safety helmet for free :-P
Errmm.. I think Civil Engineering department paid for it.

We were so excited that we started our camwhore session with the safety helmet.
These two uncles trying to act coooool..

You can say we don't have the engineer's look (may be not yet..),
but please don't say we look like site workers.. please..

The seminar wasn't that effective I guess..
Because even after the seminar, out of 7 people, only one of us wore the helmet in the right way.

-Civil Girls-

While we were camwhoring, we smelt durians!!
Guess what, the pak guards were having durian party behind Pocket C!! haha..

Pak guards are generous, they might not be willing in giving summons,
but they are more than happy to share the local fruits with students.
"Ambik la.. ambik lagi.. "

(一袋红毛丹就可以收买她们的心.. )

Eh.. Yasmin??
I remember in the seminar, we were told not to misuse the safety helmet..

of Dog, Bone and Fishes

When I was small, my primary school teacher told me this story:

Once upon a time, there was a dog with a bone in its mouth. It crossed a bridge and saw its own reflection in the river. It thought there was another dog in the river with another bone, so it stupidly jumped into the river, wanted to fight for another bone. Consequently, not only it didn't get the bone in the water, it lost its own bone as well.
Moral of the story : Don't be greedy.

Now, I am not primary school kid anymore. I have my own version of the story:

Once upon a time, there was a dog with the same bone, crossed the same bridge, saw the same reflection of itself, thought the same thing, did the same thing and jumped into the same river. Ok, of course it didn't get the bone in the river and it eventually lost his own bone, but instead of feeling sad and regret upon its loss, it started to blame the fishes in the water for stealing its bone away. The bone was somewhere in the water, just that the dog couldn't find it. The fishes actually didn't care about the existence of the bone in the water, because it doesn't cause any increase in BOD of the water, but they, being innocent, were blamed over something ridiculous which they had never done before. Now, there was no more peace in the water. Will the dog poison the river? We will see.....
Moral of the story: Don't know, think about it yourself.

You actually think that fish eat bones???

没关系

对这三个字有很深一层的见解,
已经懂得如何运用它。
有些事情无法改变，
顺其自然就好。
无憾，无悔，我已尽了力。

宽容不该被建筑在痛苦上，
我不懂得宽容，
更不会觉得痛苦。
所以没什么好伤气的。

没关系，大家开心就好。

The Crazy Uncivilized People

In Wastewater Engineering lab
........

Yes, we were dealing with wastewater.
The water from the academic buildings, cafeterias, kitchens and even from the toilets....
Disgusting huh..
What to do? This is what we civilized people have to do. *sigh*

If you see properly, that equipment shouldn't be used this way.
Ok la.. I admit, I was pretending only.

This one even worse..
She simply grab anything on the table and acts like so professional..
*sorry.. ShiouTing.. I am just telling the truth*

While waiting for COD test and TSS test results..
this is what we do..

KeeHui, YewTeng, AngKhian and ShiouTing

Too bad Uncle Ling is not in the same lab session with us.

YewTeng and I

See.. that Munirah and her friend also came and join us.

KeeHui said his hand is longer so he offered himself to hold the camera.. -_-"

Thanks to Vannak for this picture.
We actually blamed him for not holding the camera in the position we wanted it to.
But after we saw this picture, we were speechless.
It's nice.
____________________________________________
Oh ya.. forgot to mention something..
There was a small incident happened in the lab.

These 2 people were quarreling..

They couldn't reach to an agreement, they ended up fighting..
But how come ShiouTing looked like laughing, instead of crying?

KeeHui tried to become the middle person..
So, this is what happened to him..

But after all, we are still good coursemates.
Loving each other.


This is Civilians, we don't talk nicely.
We don't know how to console each other.
And it seems that we don't respect each other as well.

We like to criticize, scold, fight, find fault...
We like to do all the stupid stuff.

Because this is us..
The Crazy Civil Gang

脚车

这一切都不是没有前兆，只是我不愿意相信。
我看见了预言，只是我选择坚持。
脚车不见了，我不愤怒，不慌张，意外的镇定。
我并不是早知道它会不见，也不曾祈祷它会不见，只是我闻见了它要带给我的信息。
我看见了这背后的意义。

卸下沉重的负担，没有了无力感。
感觉很轻，很自在。
我要一直这样下去。

也许我在乎的并不是那辆脚车，而是骑脚车的感觉。
如果因为那种虚幻不务实的感觉让我一直对那辆脚车耿耿于怀，那我岂不是会错过得更多？
脚车的意义在哪里？

30.7.08

I like being part of this course, though we always have to stand the hot sun.

I like people to call us as 'civil girls', although when they say that, they mean 'guyish'.
They say, civilians are not civilized at all. Ermm.. may be.
We talk to each others like scolding, because that is the most usual way we communicate with each other.
We started to have civilians outings since previous semester, usually there will be at least 1 outsiders in our outing. Lol..
But this time, only civilians were presence.
And this is our last semester before we going for internship.

So, "What are we actually celebrating today?"
Haha.. who cares? The most important thing was to have fun!!
"Celebrate our third-year in UTP of course!!"
In other words, we are getting older. *sigh*

We had our dinner in Citrus.
Nice environment + nice food + great friends = Marvelous dinner!!

We shifted to the table in the garden for our dessert.

At first we planned to watch a movie, but the cinema was full on that day.
We ended up went to sing K.

Frankly, that was the first time I actually sang in front of my friends.
But Angkhian told me after that she could hardly hear my voice.
It was then 1 something in the morning, but we still didn't want to call it a day.
We somehow felt like it hadn't reached the climax of the outing yet.

Where was that? Somewhere in Ipoh.
And what were we holding? haha..

Acting Emo :-P

-_-"

That was our craziest outing and it could be the last one, too.
