Trip to x-fab

last last Friday, was our trip to x-fab, or better known as first silicon. Do you know that x-fab is actually an international company? They have plants in Germany, Texas, and another one, but i forgot where..Cameras were banned in the building, so it's hard to describe what we actually see, without the use of cameras..When we went into x-fab, we had to wear this:

They are called 'bunny shoes'

This trip is organised by the accounting and finance club of swinburne, and we got to see how they did their costing, which is through job costing, or something like that...anyways, we'll only learn about that in sem 2 or year 2 or something..so we couldn't really relate to what she was saying..*paiseh*

Maybe when we progress further in our studies, then we can understand what the person is trying to tell us.

Anyways, after the explanation about the costing, and what x-fab does, we were brought into the factory, where they manufacture the wafers, or silicon, that is used for cars, mobile phones, machines, etc..

It all looks really grand on the inside, but I managed to take a pic of the outside..

Masculine or Feminine?

You Are 63% Feminine, 37% Masculine

You are in touch with your feminine side.
Sensitive, intuitive, and caring are all words that describe you.
And you're just masculine enough to relate to both men and women.
Can you imagine I'm more masculine than Ron?? But that's fine..I relate to super sensitive guys
*wink*

Moo moo outing!!!

Last Friday, we had our moo moo gang outing...so who went? me, Ron, Lilian, Ivor, Edward, Bren Chin, Bren Lo, and Jason. We met up at chilax, and just hang out together, the way we did last time...

Before that, me, Ron, Ivor, and Bren Chin went to Book Castle..if you love books, you will LOVE book castle!!! They have loads and loads of books there, and for very low prices! Of course, these are second-hand books. Soft cover books range from RM 5 to RM 10, or less..and hard cover books are averagely RM 12 and above..They have so many genres there, from romance to biographies, to thriller, to self help, to....erm....yeah..many books there.. =D

I got a book, the smoke jumper, by Nicholas Evans...I read it before, and it's really nice..so when I saw it, I snatched it up immediately! Georgette, if you're reading this, you can get your books here! Although some of them are not so new, but there are those that's definitely worth a read!

So after visiting Book Castle, we went to Pizza Junction for our dinner. Had the Mayonnaise Chicken pizza, and they taste great! It comes accompanied by some kaya banana pie/pizza, and that tastes nice too..had so many fun conversation with bren and ivor and ron...

Did you know that if you wear an anklet, it means that you're still a virgin? I got that from Ivor..
When we met our moo moo members at chilax, Ed brought the st joe mag, and I'm in it! they have my pic, in the diary section, in March,when I reported for duty as a replacement teacher..and I look GOOD!!! forgive the perasan-ness.. =D I'm definitely getting that mag...and it has Agan, Jardian, the other profiles of the F5 la salle members, and our F6 frens! it'll be like a trip down memory lane... *sigh*

Sometimes...

Sometimes, I wish that you really needed me,
then you would call and talk to me.

Sometimes, I wish that you're sensitive to my feelings,
so I wouldn't always have to feel like you don't understand me.

Sometimes, I wish that you really care about me,
so I wouldn't feel so hurt.

Sometimes, I wish that I'm your number one priority,
so I wouldn't feel like you're using me.

Sometimes, I wish that you really love me,
the way I love you..

But I know that no matter what I wish,
it will never make a difference.
Because you wouldn't want to change the way you are,
especially not for me...

Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

by Patty Smyth and Don Henley

Now, I don't want to lose you, but I don't want to use you
just to have somebody by my side.
And I don't want to hate you,
I don't want to take you, but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place
and I keep seeing you walk through that door.

(Chorus)

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust.
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough.

Now, I could never change you, I don't want to blame you.
Baby, you don't have to take the fall.
Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you.
Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder, it makes me feel like rain.
And like a fool who will never see the truth,
I keep thinking something's gonna change.

(Chorus)

And there's no way home, when it's late at night and you're all alone.
Are there things that you wanted to say?
And do you feel me beside you in your bed,
there beside you, where I used to lay?

And there's a danger in loving somebody too much,
and it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are.
Baby, sometimes, love just ain't enough.

Baby, sometimes, love... it just ain't enough.
Oh, Oh, Oh, No.

Inconsiderate-ness redefined

Sometimes I'm still amazed at how inconsiderate people can still be in this day and age.

Firstly, there's my neighbour's son, who has gotten married and moved away to somewhere else, but still in kuching lar... Being the filial son that he is, he will always come back on the weekends, and visit his mom, bringing his wife and two kids in tow, driving a PERDANA or TOYOTA something...I'm not so annoyed at his filial-ness...I'm just very pissed off at the way he parks his car. Because we live next to them, our house is the first house at the turn in and theirs is the second. So they have the LUXURIOUS car and all that, so they feel that they can just turn in and park over at our place. Not VERY much over, just over enough that we have to reverse slowly to avoid from banging into their car when we leave our house. IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!! I mean, he's the one with the family right?!?!?! So he should think better, right? Apparently not. -_-" If I see his car somewhere out there, I wouldn't hesitate to sratch it..

Owner of QKX 3257, If you're reading this, you better watch out. Don't think you're rich you can look down on us average people.

Secondly, there's the people right in our Swiburne community. Those who stand in the elevator looking PRETTY and don't even want to raise a 'delicate' hand to press the 'open' button to keep the doors from closing, and thus almost squishing the people in between. Only when the doors almost squish whoever it was, THEN they want to waste the ATP's and press the button. I mean, COME ON!!!!! hello!!!! Don't you know your manners? It's a simple act of courtesy to keep the doors open when people want to leave or get on the elevator. You think that by letting the doors close faster, you can get to your floor faster isit? You think you're the only person on earth who mut get to your floor on time isit? that ohther people are just negligible???

It got to the point where I even have to shout at the people in there to press the button. I. WAS. THAT. PISSED. OFF.

How Boyish or Girlish Are You?

Was bored...so i decided to try this test..


You Are 30% Boyish and 70% Girlish

Even if you're not a girl, you're very feminine.
You're in touch with your feelings, and your heart rules you.
A bit of a emotional roller coaster, one moment you're up and the next you're down.
But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible.

Wow!!! Luckily I can say that I'm a girl!!! I know of a few people out there who would like to try this quiz..hehe...
=p
there's just one last thing that bothered me...
"But no matter what, you try to be as cute and perky as possible"
WHAT?!?!
I don't try to be cute!!! I just couldn't care less..
so sue me..

really bad luck

Remember how as I was saying that yesterday was friday the 13th and it's bad luck day??? well, it really came true for me.
Yesterday was one of the worse days I had this year. Felt so crummy....
Only got 13/20 for my micro test...I know I can do better...
And my LKC suddenly couldn't come back cos his slave driver of a boss wouldn't let him...
And a whole lot of other personal things happened...
yesterday was a bad day....

Friday the 13th

I'm feeling accomodating today...eventhough the date is Friday, 13th October 2006. Friday the 13th!!!

So how did the term Friday the 13th come about?
Some historians believe that it originates from that point in time when the Knights Templar were caught and then tortured into admitting heresy. The date? Friday, 13th October 1307. Coincidentally, today IS 13th October!!! O_o
Others believe that biblically, Eve tempted Adam with the apple of a Friday
-_-"
Other biblical events that happened (or are thought of to happen) on a Friday include
the Flood in the Bible, the confusion at the Tower of Babel.
The Friday the 13th superstition have also been linked to the fact there were 13 people at the last supper of Jesus, who was traditionally crucified on Good Friday, but it probably originated only in medieval times.

In Norse myth,there were twelve gods having a feast in the hall of the sea-God Aegir in Valhalla. The mischievous Loki gatecrashed the party as an uninvited 13th guest and arranged for Hod, the blind god of darkness, to shoot Baldur, the god of joy and gladness, with a mistletoe-tipped arrow. Baldur was killed and the Earth was plunged into darkness and mourning as a result.

'Friday' was named after Frigg (or Frigga), the Norse goddess of marriage.

Later she was confused with the goddess of love, Freya, who in turn became identified with Friday. When the Norsemen and Germanic tribes became Christians, Freya was supposed to have been banished to the mountains as a witch. Friday came to be called 'witches' Sabbath. It was believed that on this day, each week, twelve witches and the Devil met - thirteen evil spirits in all.

Fear of Friday the 13th is actually called paraskavedekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia, a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia, a phobia (fear) of the number thirteen.

Actually, there are so many other reasons why Friday the 13th is called that way, but these are the few more interesting ones. =D

*blank*

If you're staying in Kuching, and use shell petrol, have you ever tried to pay for your petrol at the pumps with some shell worker breathing down your neck wanting to slide your card at the slot for you? If you have, then have you ever noticed that he/she usually slides another card before sliding yours? Well, the card they slide is actually their own bonuslink card. They are trying to earn points at your expense!!!! I went to so many shell stations around the city, and many of them are tried to trick my parents and me. Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I just feel like writing a letter to the manager and asking them to fire all these good for nothing parasites who feed off your money to get points for themselves...grrrr.....

BOOBIEMAN. Everytime, I see him during lecture breaks, he's always eating. Why I get so annoyed by him? Because when we print something using the library computer, it automatically sends the info to another comp at the side, then only you can print from there. So one day,I clicked print, and went to wait at the little computer. It so happens that BOOBIEMAN was at the comp printing his stuff. I saw my document come up on the screen, and he saw it too. He hesitated, and clicked it. HE PRINTED MY DOCUMENT!!!!! which was the lecture notes for that day. That lousy good for nothing fat-ass!!!!!

He's always stuffing his face with food, it's no wonder he's so fat. ok...I know I'm going overboard by bitching so much about him. I. DON'T. CARE.

so what else? I'm very annoyed at ah ma now for sending my hubby to kk...Who knows when she's gonna let him come home...cis...

ok....after all that complaining, let's have a laugh...

Pearly Gates - Bill Gates in Heaven

Bill Gates dies and goes to heaven, where Saint Peter gives him a smart two-bedroom house with a pretty garden and a tennis court. Pleased with his lot, Bill quickly settles into the afterlife.
One day he is out walking when he bumps into a man wearing a fine, tailored suit.

"That's really nice," says Bill. "Where did you get it?"

"Actually," says the man, "I was given 50 of these, plus two mansions, a yacht, a golf course and four Rolls-Royces."

"Wow, were you a priest or a doctor healing the sick?" asks Bill.

"No, I was the captain of the Titanic."

Bill storms off to see Saint Peter. "How come the captain of a sunken ship gets all that while I, the inventor of the Windows operating system, get a crummy little house?" he asks.

"We use Windows too," says Saint Peter. "And the Titanic only crashed once."

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

Sometimes I just wonder why people like to butt into somebody else's relationship. Can you imagine some stupid ***** told my hubby that I was cheating on him???? I don't even care what she does with that loser, for what she care what I do with my hubby?

She told him that she saw me with another guy, but she can't entirely be sure whether it was me or not. WTH??!!!?! If you're not sure, for what you wanna tell people stuff that is not true? She practically accused me of doing something wrong!!!!

Luckily I have such a great hubby that believes and trusts me. I mean, I was so busy these past few weeks with assignments and tests...how can I afford to go out and have fun?!?!?! The trips I take are only to school and back...slaving over the major assignment, just patching things up with my hubby, and now this!?!?!?!!!!

Some people just don't know how to mind their own business. Some more, she doesn't even know me that well!!!!!

She must be jealous over the great relationship we're having, and want to break us up. She did it once before with Julian, who's to say she won't want to do it again?!? CIS...

Some people just don't have a life.

What colour is your lucky underwear?

Your Lucky Underwear is Blue

You are caring and extroverted. You've made relationships your number one focus, and your lucky blue underwear can bring some balance to them.
You thrive in one-on-one situations. You are a good listener and a natural born therapist.

Sometimes you let the concerns of others become too important in your life, leading to stress and worry.
If you want more balance, put on your blue underpants. They'll help you take care of yourself first.

Happenings in dreamland

I had a weird dream last night...
You know how I absolutely despise the Student ID rite....
well....I dreamt about it...CIS...

So here goes the start of my stupid adventure...
--> I was at theSwinburne first floor library.....and I borrowed two books (which, in real life, I did).
Then i went to use the computer in the library, and when we use the computer, we need to pass the librarians our ID card...
So there I was, happily using away......
Until I finished, and I went to get my card back...
And it was torn to two pieces of laminating paper, and one useless cardboard.
I. WAS. FURIOUS.
(I mean, I don't like the ID card, but I take care of my stuff)
So I went to the librarian and asked her : "What is the meaning of this??!!?"
and she said "We didn't like it. So we added new features"
(By features, she actually means one extra piece of flimsy paper, on which was handwritten the list of things I have borrowed from the library)
I wanted to argue more, but decided to go to the admin instead.
(Which you should never do in real life, cos the admin is terrible-er than the librarians)
So i went to the admin, and there was this pleasant guy there.
I showed him my ID and told him what the librarians did to it.
He gave me a sympathetic look and told me that he will try his best to salvage what's left of it.
And he ran it through the laminating machine, and it came out looking BETTER!!!
hehe....
I thanked him, and walked out.
A few steps later, I realised that when the laminating film cools off, it falls apart again...
And I wake up <--

Now what was that all about?!?!?
I have no animosity towards the librarians, they are always so courteous to me...
Unless my brain is trying to tell me that they are actually aliens from outer space, with a hidden agenda...
Armed with laser weapons, trying to take over the world....
Waiting for the right time to grow their monstrous fangs and stampede on us humble humans..
Destroying everything in its pathe on their quest for world destruction...
Then we would have to call for the MEN IN BLACK, to help save us from this terrible evil...
And when everything is finally calm, they erase our memory....
And we go on in life clueless to what happened....
Then during our next marketing lecture, we find that Edith Lim is one of the evil aliens...
With the evil convenor over at australia as her boss...
And both of them have been ELIMINATED!!!!!
And we are given the opportunity to mark our own Major assignment....
And everyone passes!!!!!
hehe....
-_-"

Oh well....how great the mind can be when it is unchallenged by boundaries...

Thursday, October 05, 2006

the second time around

Yesterday, was the second time I cried...
I hate marketing concept..
But this was all my fault...
I handed in my MAJOR assignment late..
If i would've stayed up all night trying to finish it, I might still be on time..
I am such a lousy leader...
I have let my group mates down...
If they were not in my group, they might have gotten it done on time, with their better group leaders, and won't get penalised...
Now I probably have to retake this subject, cos I'm most likely gonna FAIL.

What else to do now but try and put it behind me?
Now we have one last job to do to try and earn mark s for it..
The Proton Presentation...worth 10%
