An Much Awaited (Needed) Update :)


Finally, I finally manage to update my dusty, rusty, you-named-it blog for months. It has been a very hectic semester. There were so many reports, projects, assignments, and coursework to rush. One thing for sure is time passed very fast! Just with a blink of an eye, end of semester is approaching and study break will be commencing next week. This means that finals is approaching fast. And I haven't fully prepared myself for any exams yet. In fact, I was busy with all those academic work until I had neglected my revision.

Since beginning of last semester, I thought I know that Year 2 will be the most hectic year ever. But, 'know' and experience it thorough first hand is two totally different thing. As usual, the module that required most of our time and effort in is the Design & Material 2, which required the students to design an inclusive can opener design. We were given a month for this project and we were required to come out with a simulation and business plan, which will be used for presentation at the fifth week. In addition, students were required to design and propose an alternative renewable energy plant for the Sutton Bonington Campus, which is located in UK, in a poster in the next four week followed by the can opener design project. Well, this is not the worst part. The worst part is I had to revise all the lecture notes for the previous semester and current semester which consist of tons of topics ranging from risk management to tribology. However, other modules such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, design technology control, and computational numerical techniques were not easy as well and cannot be underestimated.

That's it for this time, I will have to continue my revision for my finals.

The next updated will be quite soon, I promised :) and I am eager to post it as soon as possible.

After 4 months of holiday, I will be registering for my enrollment for Year 2 in less than 15 minutes. This new semester is more important than ever compared with the other semesters as beginning this semester, my results will be considered for the degree that I will get. 

According to seniors and lecturers, Year 2 will be a hectic year. There will be many assignments, coursework, design projects, and most importantly, final exams. 

Well, thats all for today, I will update my blog whenever I am free.

3 More Years To Go!!!

My 1st year ended last 2 week ago, after 4 months of lecures and assignments, and 3 weeks of exams, I am finally can relax and enjoy my four-month holiday. I will not discuss how was examinations. I just hope that I will pass and I have try my best, my very best for this semester.

After the finals, I went to Mid Valley to hang out with my old foundation friends. However, some of them did not manage to join us, which kinda sad as we manage to watch 2 great movies (Terminator Salvation and Star trek) :)


I had been waiting for the premier of Terminator Salvation since early this year and this movie did not disappoint me even one bit. it was full of suspense from the start. Also, Christian Bale, for me, is the most suitable candidate to act the role of John Conner. I hope they will not change the actor for the next terminator franchise. On the other hand, Star Trek surprise me the most. All the while I thought Star Trek is boring and the last time I watched the previous movies made me feel sleepy. But, after I watched this movie, it proved me wrong. Therefore, I will definitely watched the next installment.

The next movie in waiting is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
