Award winning models.............

This is full of joy for me together with my team members because we have won prizes in two competitions in 1 month. First, it was the our Cubion concept which won us 1st prize in the Green House Model Design Competition organized by UTAR together with Technological Association of Malaysia (TAM). In the event took place in my campus, we managed to put on the good show in model and competition that won us the grand prize. It was fantastic.

Second competition is 2010 AAET Engineering Science, Technology and Innovation (ESTI) Design Competition which was launched in April 2010 last year. We submitted our design at the year end last year and the result was just released. For this competition, we are required to submit a conceptual designs for eco-friendly low income housing that provide a better quality of life as well as meeting the challenges of climate change. This competition was actually enter by us as one of the assignment given by our lecturer. Too bad, the design of this bamboo house was not as good as Cubion but due to time constraint, we are happy with the merit prize because this is an international level competition. We did it!!!!!

It's Rabbit Year........

I would like to wish all my friends and also to all my family members happy Rabbit Year. May all of us have a great year ahead with endless prosperity, good health, happiness, wealth, good results and etc......This year i went back to my only 'kampung' near in Negeri 9 after so many years of not going back. Not much changes to all of my relatives over there but it is nice to see all of them are doing fine. So, this year, didn't make much cookies as previous years due to weather condition and time. For me, this year I eat much lesser compare to previous years because easily fall sick during CNY. So, this year eat alot lesser to maintain body. Lastly, wish all my blog readers Happy CNY, have a great year ahead.......:D

Taman Negara Trip

Happy new year!!! this is my first post of the new year, 2011, in year of Rabbit. Well, th first thing to do after I finished my internship for 3 mths is go for travel. This time I travelled to Tmn Negara in Pahang which was one of the long awaited destination I have planned for since few months back. This time the plan was smooth and was on!!! I would like to thanks Ms. Amy for her help and also Ms. Hooi for the good arrangements. without them, maybe we need to pay more.

On 4th to 6th, the 3 days 2 nites trip was accomplished with little dissappointment because we expected more in our activities. Too bad, there were not live up to our expectation. But overall, the trip was nice and relaxing. Throughout the trip, we have cave exploration which was not challenging, rapid shooting which was not rapid, nite jungle trekking which was a short one and canopy walk. About the meals, since all of our meals are included in the package, so, we have no choice but to eat what they served. The foods was OK, Nothing much to complain about except for the little surprise we got. The 2nd day breakfast, just when we thought they only served toasts with jam and butter to us, everyone was relieved when fried bihun was served to us.hahax..........full at last.

Conclusion, the trip was memorable and nice. Got thing to complain but still acceptable.......next one maybe Gunung Tahan?........C la how.....

KLIMS 2010

Last tuesday was a public holiday which I took the opportunity to visit the KL International Motor Show 2010. It was expected to be crowded on that day so I together with my friends, amy n starbucks went to PWTC early so that can avoid the jam packed area. The reason why I so eager to visit to KLIMS because it is not held every year and I like to see exotic cars. Although the entrance fees was abit expensive but I think it is worth. The previous KLIMS was back in 2006.

Overall, the show is quite huge but I am not satisfy with the number of exhibitors there as I expect more. Many brands like Ferrari, Volkswagen, Lamborghini, BMW and Mercedes are not taking part in this year. It is quite a dissappointed show overall but there is some nice displays especially the one by local brand, Proton and Perodua.

Target achieved for Malaysia

In this year edition of Asia Games 2010 in Guang Zhou. With the target of 9 gold medals, Malaysia finally achieved the target today through the woman's squash team by beating Hong Kong 2-0 lead by Datuk Nicol. After a lot of dissappointment by Malaysia contigents, we can cheers abit with some of the unexpected result. Man hockey team had made history by went in the final but had to settle with silver. in Badminton, as expected, China dominated the event and Malaysia came close to win a gold but had to settle with silver through Koo-Tan and only to be blamed with they fancy play. Sepak Takraw again let us down when the team failed to win gold from Thailand and the search for the gold continues. However, Malaysia shows good fighting spirit and credit have to pay to all the team members for their efford. I am sure we can do it better.
