Satisfactory

Its coming to the end of the semester already...somehow i dont feel sad just because this is my final year and final semester in university. I am glad that actually i've try my best in just about everything i do...though sometimes it wasnt what i expected.

hmm...i dint talked alot this sem...seriously i talked the less words i did in my life...rather i spent most of the time for myself...meditating....it wasnt that bad after all, its better than gossipin' round when starts to chat with friends...met few of new friends last couple of week, they were all talking and i was sitting there and listen...so is that what you gals are always talking about?gossipin' about people's bad thing...its boring...

3 final exam papers on next week and i haven done any revision yet...was busy with thesis...life was tough for a year 4 student i can tell....its not as easy as what people always mentioned: life in uni is like a bean curd...haha..well, no. its very challenging for sure.

Anyway...its almost done...a week later im gonna dump every single left over stuff in my brain. left over...yeah, bcause there'r still something i needa keep:)

p.s.:i dream of you last night, its really a sweet one..;)

A meal with both my Supervisor and Industrial Supervisor

This is the second or third time already people kept telling me how lucky am I having such a great supervisor. I really am very thankful of being supervised under Dato Ismail....its my greatest honor to be under his guidance!:D and am very proud, of course:P hehe

Today is another great day for me tho', it good to have sitting down and have some meal with the industrial supervisor before starts attach in that particular company and deal with the boss, colleague, etc.... Ir. Dr. Gue See-Sew from G&P Professionals S/Bhd is my industrial supervisor and he was here today in university giving some geotechnical related seminar. I was lucky to being asked to join them for breakfast and lunch. So during lunch hour, Dato' and Dr Gue and Prof Azizan were having some serious talk about the current issue in geotechnical engineering field as well as not so serious topic like my industrial training activities. Dr. Gue is a serious and knowledgable person who shared alot of thoughts with us. Well, i dont even know there's a bridge collapsed in Muar recently...shame shamed...After the lunch, Dato fetched me back to uni, though it was a short distance from Parit Raja to UTHM, the driving speed of Dato has brought towards a pretty long conversation. He talks and shared alot of his past experienced with me especially when he was in LSU back in 20 years time then his family and cames across the students life of his in LSU.

Now i know better about my supervisor and Im gonna do well in my thesis to pay back back you in return. Thanks for being such a good supervisor to me:)

The Victor

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win the prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
Poet: C.W. Longenecker

Good Friday

Today is the fifth day of the Holy Week called Good Friday. Christians around the world celebrate today’s holiday Good Friday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, His death at Calvary, and his Resurrection from the grave, am pretty sure Malacca will be kind of merrier right now:D Still remember I was home last year's Good Friday, it was a great one as I travelled down to town with family, passing by the church and there were so many people around. Hope after this year, or I shall say after this month...I am going to completely release myself to the fullest!...very stress atm.

So what is A Good Friday?

Also known as Holy Friday and Great Friday, Good Friday is a time of reflection among Catholics. Traditions during Good Friday includes the prayers to each of the fourteen Stations of the Cross, fasting, various processions, the Way of the Cross, and a Passion play called Senakulo, among others.

However, there are some fanatics that because of their intense profession of faith to Jesus Christ, they want to mimic the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in that they themselves are being crucified into a cross during Good Friday. This can be seen in the predominantly Catholic country Philippines.

Moreover, if you are looking for some Good Friday quotes to share with your friends and relative this Good Friday, you can find some of them below:
“All His life long Christ was the light of the world, but the very noontide hour of His glory was that hour when the shadow of eclipse lay over all the land, and He hung on the Cross dying in the dark. At His eventide “it was light,” and, “He Endured the Cross, despising the shame” and, lo! the shame flashed up into the very brightness of glory, and the very ignominy and the suffering were “the jewels of His crown.”

“Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

“The essence of that by which Jesus overcame the world was not suffering, but obedience. Yes, men may puzzle themselves and their hearers over the question where the power of the life of Jesus and the death of Jesus lay; but the soul of the Christian always knows that it lay in the obedience of Christ. He was determined at every sacrifice to do His Father’s will. Let us remember that; and the power of Christ’s sacrifice may enter into us, and some little share of the redemption of the world may come through us, as the great work came through Him.”
