20th November, a nice day… I had my engineering graphics 1 mid-term test a while ago. I believe I will do quite well. On course to get 4.00 this semester… Haha…

Also, managed to hand-up Malaysian Studies research project on time. I was very satisfied with the end result our paper. Would like to thank my team for a job well done. The trip to Portuguese Settlement was fun. By far, this is the fun-est assignment to date. Haha…

Thats not all… I finally solved my Handphone Crisis today… I bought my dream phone. The almighty Samsung Innov8. Gone are the days where I would think hard and long on which which phone would be my next.

I you have read my previous post, you will have an idea about how powerful this phone is. Also, in that previous post, I know I said “N97 mini’, here I come.” I changed my mind due to financial reasons. Haha.

The Samsung Innov8 I bought pre-owned. A year old, but in pristine condition. I spent RM800 on it. A new model would cost, get ready for this, RM2000 – RM2100+. (RM2399 if you refer to the eRing magazine).

Very satisfied with it. Let me show it off… Haha…

The D900 was Samsung’s 2006 flagship (Most Geng… Haha) handphone. For 2008, yup, you guessed it… The Samsung Innov8.

Oh Ya.. Did I mention that I am a Samsung fan? Haha… Thought that you might figured it out by now… Done enjoying… Haha… The next mid-term test is on Monday… Back to work…

6th November : Today, I went for a field trip to a solar factory in Puchong. Woke up 7.30am in the morning. If it wasn’t for Wei Keong calling me, I would most probably have overslept.

My alarm rang at 7am. As usual, I woke up, only to stretch out my arm to grab my phone so that I could switch the alarm off. I managed to get ready and rush to MMU’s roundabout before the bus left. The bus was full.

At 8+am, the bus took off. At around 10, we arrived at our location. A factory called SDC (Solar District Cooling) which specialises in manufacturing and researching Solar products.

We attended a 2 hour long briefing and lecture about what and how their products works.

To be frank, the speeches were boring and not very informative as they spoke very technically. It was like they were trying to sell their products to us.

They could have made it shorter and easier for a bunch of first-year degree students to understand.

Still, I manage to learn something. A brief idea about how their stuff works. After all that, the staff brought us for a tour of their facility.

After the tour, we were treated to a simple buffet lunch in the factory.

At about 2pm, we headed to Sunway Pyramid. The fun part of the trip. (Probably the main reason most of people the people came on this ride.)

When there, most of the people went straight to the ice rink. Including us.

I believe we all had a great time at the rink. First timers Wei Keong and Yi Yong were obviously frightened with the ice.  Yi Yong needed more help then Wei Keong though. But they were both very fast learners. With some help, they went from being overtaken by people, to overtaking people. Haha. Really enjoyed helping. They both became more and more confident on the ice.

Wei Keong was asking more at the end of the day. Although Yi Yong didn’t really admit liking it, i could see in her face she had a great time. For me, Jan Fei and Kim San, we were more experienced and had less trouble on the ice.

I even learned some new tricks myself. Like learning now to stop. Haha… I did fall once, and now my knee is slightly bruised. No matter. I enjoyed it a lot.

By 7pm, the our bus arrived o bring us back to MMU and call it a day. I hope for more times like this in the near future.

More pictures of us.

I just found out that 5th November was BoA’s birthday. Now is already 6th November, 12.50am… So, I guess I am a bit late… Haha… Still, Happy 23rd Birthday BoA!!!

In case you don’t know who BoA is, she is a Korean Singer-Songwriter. Born on the 5th of November, 1986. She is one of Korea’s biggest pop-stars. However, I feel that now BoA has been ‘phased out’ by newer Korean singers such as SNSD or Wonder Girls as they tend to get more attention now. Still, I would anytime choose BoA over them. Haha….

BoA is very talented. She is multilingual, as she records in FOUR languages. Korean, Japanese, English and also Chinese. Name me anyone else that can do that. She debuted back in 2000 with the release of her first Korean album at the age of 13!!! Since then, she has gained much popularity in Korea, Japan, and throughout Asia.

After conquering the Asian music scene, she decided try for America with the release of her first English album in 2009. Give it a listen. Its entitled ‘BoA’.

To date, She has released 5 Korean albums, 6 Japanese albums, 28 Japanese singles, 5 Korean singles, 2 English singles, and 1 English album. She has sold over 20 million records.
