世上只有妈妈好

在这个世界上,谁最伟大?
每个人的心中都会有一个谱。
在我心中,我的妈妈是最伟大。
可能我生长在单亲家庭,
爸爸这两个字对我非常陌生。
幸福的, 快乐的,辛苦的, 生病的,
种种的经历都与妈妈渡过。
在这特别的日子里,

母亲节快乐。
HAPPY MOTHER DAY

Chapter 3 - Bangkok trip on 13rd Dec 2008

Second day itinerary is visiting Grand Palace and Wat Arun where located near Grand Palace. This package is very valueable that charged us 500 baht that includes private guide and transportation but excludes the entrance fee. We didn't visit Wat Pho where quite also near Grand Palace due to time constrains.

Jajujak Market (JJ Market) is afternoon program which focussing on shopping for our CNY outfits.

Breakfast at our staying hostel - Suk 11 hostel


Fabulous breakfast for our first morning in Bangkok city. Basically, this type of breakfast is not my cup of tea. However, watermelon is my favour that i can finish whole even i already full. hehe....

Grand Palace

We went to muzeum first where photo is not allowable. Only around 10% of Grand Palace was open for visiting.







Wat Arun









JJ Market

Below are the tips on shopping at JJ market:
  1. Bring your T-shirt for measuring the size due to different size standard found in Thailand.
  2. Buy pant for testing to ensure your size and then rebuy it on second day
  3. Don't believe on the size label (S,M,L) because the quality control is very bad. It can be mis-label the size.
Typical Thai Foods have been tried at JJ Market


Manggo with sticky rice. Yammy yammy.....


Black jerry is good for relieving thirst.

Shopping again at night





Shopping's trophies on second day

Chapter 1 - Bangkok trip plan

Thailand protestors closed the International Airport on 26th Nov 2008 signs a disaster for me. I already bought a ticket to Bangkok on 12nd Dec for shopping and holiday. All my friends advised me of not going there for safety reasons. Should I cancel or stick to plan after that event?

I always believe that lucky star always stand by me. The Bangkok International Airport finally opened on 8th Dec 2008. All the obstacles to Bangkok trip finally collapsed - my friend finally got approval from their parent and the latest news in Bangkok seems very peaceful and quiet.

After long discussion among my trip partners on 10th Dec 2008, final and firm conculsion had been came out of sticking to original plan to Bangkok. Yeah! Bangkok, we are coming soon.

RSCE-SOMChE 2008 in Kuala Lumpur

RSCE-SOMChE 2008 in Kuala Lumpur


On 2nd-3rd Dec 2008, 15th Regional Symposium on Chemical Engineering (RSCE) will be held at Impiana Hotel & Spa, Kula Lumpur. I was requested by my mentor to participate in this event.
At the beginning, one of my colleagues will be my partner to joint this event as a poster presentation participant. The topic of poster presentation is about the job done by that colleague. I simply accepted this request as I can fully depend on that fellow. I think the god want to punish me because that fellow suddently called back by his scholarship and then he was resigned.
I had no choice to say not to my supervisor even I totally not really understand that project. I sacrificed my Deepavali holiday for preparing technical paper for that event. The organizer informed me that I can switch to presentation but I rejected it as I was not really involved in that project.
I think I was very blur on this matter. I totally don't know what RSCE is and how grand they are. I simply submited that technical paper without fill in any registration form and payment. Two week before, I started to prepare poster based on provided size from their website and send to printer shop for printing. The poster size is very big ( 100 cm W x 150 cm H) and costs me RM 150. Normally, I always give an answer of don't know when other asked me about this exhibition.
The poster was just simply printed before getting reviewed and acceptanced by organizer. How blur I am! One week before that event, they informed me that my paper has been reviewed and accepted to be published in their conference proceedings. Bad news is the poster size has been changed to 118.9 cm high x89.1 cm wide in portrait orientation.
Today, I just received email from them about changing the new size of poster (60.96 cm wide x 91.44 cm high). Oh my god! My poster will be special on that day because of the bigger size than other participants. I want to drill a hole to hide myself.
I start to surf internet to find more details of RSCE and find out that this event is grand. RM 750 needs to be paid for Malaysia Industrial participants. No wonder my managing director asked me when I should pay the registration fee. I just simply said i will pay it on the spot.
Actually, this is my second time of involving myself in poster presentation. I still remembered my first poster presentation was with my coursemate, Yee Chieh, in final year of university. Yee Chieh, I would like to say thank you very much on helping me on Q & A session.
My poster presentation was scheduled on 2nd Dec at 10.30 am to 11.00 am. You can visit and support me If you are near Impiana Hotel and free.
This weekend I will suffer on preparing the presentation script. If you were know me well, you will understand that Why I will get suffer. For you info, I have difficulty in pronunciation. I can't pronounce certain words properly no matter n time of hearing and practising. That causes me can't speak fluently english. Besides, one of the stepping-stone is my english. My english is super bad.
I wish everything will be fine on that day and I can answer any questions. Wish me luck.
