Tuition free week

I spent most of the time staying at home.. well, got assignment, lab report and tutorials work to do.. lol

Well, I also finished the game  COD 4 and Assassin Creed.. yea, old games.. xD The nxt version for both of this game is coming end of the year as well! xD COD 6 & creed 2. XD haha.. can play after this semester ends!

Planned to go Gua Niah but have to postpone it to end of the year… Hopefully!

Anyway,

This my first time heard of Sugar Bun Restaurant. Its 60% similar to KFC or McD.  Where the 40% they sell something extra, Or can say is the Malaysia version of KFC lah. You can actually find nasi lemak, fish&chips, Grilled fish, chicken chop, and even spaghetti… popcorns & etc. the ‘rojak’ style… apa pun ada.. xD

002

As far as i know, its appears to have outlets in East Malaysia and Brunei… thats what i heard lah. Well, it turns out quite good on the rating of 7/10 compared to the KFC here. You know why?? Because  the chickens in KFC DAMN SMALL… their dinner plate here = 3/4 of the snack plate back there in west malaysia. 

 

Locals said “healthy woh the chicken… no injections"

 

o.O okaayy..  true… hmm

1 Month in Miri

Its been one long month since i last bogged. Been busy at the first 2 weeks with catching up stuff in University. I am living good in Miri. Got to know friends who drive me around Miri as private tour. So, I already visited some of popular places in Miri. From the richest tycoon’s houses to famous local delights.

My schedule is heavily packed from tuesday to thursday ( on average from 8 am – 930 pm) which include the 4 hours break in between.  First two weeks time table was keep changing .. Friends got annoyed after missing lecture  just because of that!

What i think bout Curtin University? It was good in overall, environment, classroom, lecture hall, ICT Lab, all those experiment Labs. Just that service of the school is not as efficient as it should be. Oh well.. nth perfect. Here some few pictures of this University,

oh oh let me show Miri airport,

Like the greenery grass.. Its damn syok to have out door activities here during the evening with the sunset beside the lake. (:

Lets see.. Currently, I have a Russian lecturer for Engineering Mathematic, Myanmarese for my Engineering Materials. However, lecturer will be change after this tuition free week for materials as we going into different topic (Organic!). Engineering Mechanics under a chinese guy and EFPC ( Engineering Foundations Principles and Communication ) , hate this unit because of the project. We are require either to build a car ( with mouse trap) or bridge (with pop-sticks). Its a 12 weeks projects, where we have to set up a real company with company policy, company profile, company diary as log book.. .then tender evaulation ..bid form…etc etc…  At the end, bridges will be put into test on how many weight it can withstand. As for the car, how fast/far it can go on a straight line and whether it can travel across the bridge. 

I heard there is another Unit like this in the 2nd semester.. ? Great… LOL =.=

Basically, form6 syllabus really help me alot on the fundamental of eng. Mechanics, Materials and Maths. Eventhough, sometimes you will find physic topic in Materials e.g: X-ray Diffraction, Bragg’s Law, Magnetic Flux Density…Okay. So thx alot for the form 6 !!

Hmm.. Internet Connection here pretty slow… dragging… So i only use for printing my notes. :D Oh yea.. thanks to my senior, Jason Ang, i got all the lecture notes which save me a sum of money. :) I have to admit that seniors here ( at least for those who i know) are friendly and willing to help you anytime. I got some of my second hand book really cheap!

Hmm… Currently, My friend are one fetching me in and out of the campus. :) No need to wait for the stupid buses which 80% late and standing are not allowed! So practically, its normal to wait for few round just to get to the campus. T.T. lol

Remember the Hazy days in Miri last week??
