Kopi O

Currently my life is not as exiting and 'exhilarating' as previously. Last time I struggled to pass exam, I burnt mid night oil to finish up my assignment, I walked, took KTM, took LRT, took bus to classes and always think of my future. That's it! I'm in the 'future'! but......

I had a thought that working life would be quite interesting as we could have money to buy things, car, bunglo, travel and have a career! hmm..I guess it's a mis-thought. Because teacher never teach us in school!! :(

YA...my current life is not EXITING and EXHILARATING at all now....

SO................

Let's post something more important in my life..something like :
a) Future?
b) How to safe 100K before 30 years old?! or
c) Why the monk sold his Ferrari?

Hmmm...not interesting enough....

err..... I'll post bout the most important girl drink in my life, COFFEE!!!! .... important enough neh....




COFFEE or KOPI

Coffee is a popular brewed drink prepared from roasted seeds, commonly called coffee beans, of the coffee plant. No doubt this is the best drink from bean! Red bean, green bean, black bean...all no match for coffee bean!! (and stop wondering if MR.Bean is a bean) =_=! ....and ......... YES HE IS! The bean with the longest expiry date!....the problem is....we CAN'T make him into a drink...that's the sad part :(

OK, serious....OH MY GIRL =_=
OK, serious....OH MY COFFEE......


I started to drink coffee since I was an embryo. Coffee was 'drained' through the 'half inch pipe' (belly tube?) from my mum's mouth. Well, I didn't have any choice like in the vending machine. I drank what my mum chose :( I tried. I was struggling to talk to mum by kicking her, "Mum, Expresso double shot extra milk please!". But it's all vain.

"Hey! no yee mee please! YUCKS!!"

So, after I was born and transported to this earth, for the first few years, I was forbidden to drink any drink made from coffee bean, only red bean, green bean, black been and Mr.Bean. So, as I remember, I started to drink coffee before I start my kindergarten time. I was taken cared by my aunt who always make Kopi O for her family every morning. So, I had it too! Those time was wonderful. No worries.


Then, during secondary school, I began to like coffee. Because I learnt how to make coffee, and it's FOC to make own coffee at home. Last time, I could have a cup of coffee and few pieces of biscuits as my lunch only, and slowly it becomes my favourite 'set' of meals until I always remind my parents to buy coffee when it's out of supply.

My love towards coffee grow stronger after I went into college. My house mates envy me because I have a lovely relationship with Kopi O. Sometimes I shared my Kopi O with them. LOL. Kopi O helped me a lot during my exam period. It make me feel awake so I could burn mid night oil for my exam and assignment...but sometimes I misused it for DOTA games and mid night movie. Thats why I always win in DOTA games versus my housemates. They seldom drink coffee!

During those 'sad' days in my college life, I like to drink Kopi O. It gives me a indescribable feeling that make me feel better. err...maybe something like emo-drink. :)
"I miss those moment you and I were drinking together. I was drinking Kopi O and you were drinking Milo, together we used to burnt the same oil for the same lamp" :')

My parents like Kopi O too. So, indirectly it make us closer during the weekends. They would ask me if I want a cup of Kopi O before they walked to the kitchen and start preparing. Same goes to me, always with a polite-yell, "tiang ai Kopi O?!" Then, sometimes we would sit together in the living room watching TV and waiting for the Kopi O to cool down enough to be drink.



Even during my study in Sheffield, Kopi O + biscuit is one of my supper too! You can see here together with the food i had! :)

Now, Kopi O are still here with me. Kopi O and blogging are inseparable. It gives me feel to express out my feeling through blog... "Hey boss! You ciak ka ki esok! I quit!" Yes, I just expressed something impossible.....

That's it. Kopi O.....

AMAZING ISN'T IT!!!!

My life and My Memories in UK

It’s been a very long time since I wrote the last post. Left out so many photos from UK here. It was a memorable moment in my life. Although I’ve wasted the opportunities to Eurotrip, I have enough excitement from England alone.

Since I came back from England, I don’t know what happened to me. I am just so…..Tauhu. = =”. My room has already been messed to the max for the first time in my 22 years of life as a human. I don’t even think of tidying it, probably somewhere before CNY. Kekeke.

I got my first permanent job in my life! As a Project Manager of the construction of world tallest building! (dreaming….) My working site at Puchong and sometimes Kajang. (Looking forward to meet Puchong pretties ^^) It’s quite far from my house. The total mileage I had driven during the first site day was 170KM……do u believe it? Actually it includes all the jalan sesat. = =”

My first day to work site was a disaster. Explain secara very ringkas :
1) No take file from office, kena shoot from boss.
2) Car key locked inside my car, engine still on. (Lucky my extra good buddy, Managing Director of Hong Lee Engineering, YB Leong KuCing took my spare key to me. Thank You so much!)
3) Go second site, sesat jalan for nearly an hour. From puchong to kajang, I pass by Cyberjaya, Putrajaya and Bangi. Total 170KM…..Imagine………Don’t laugh me, coz u are next…..wakakaka….

My job position is named as “site-supervisor” and I do progress claim for the both site, which I think should be site supervisor cum QS. Kekeke. Grand abit. My daily works are : (which many of my friends don’t know what I really do in my site ^^)

1) Writing site diary – this task is blardy leceh. Always forget what happened yesterday.
2) Checking material availability, report to main con if going to finish. – always kena shoot by the main con supervisor and operation manager, because order last minute. Rebars usually delivered around one-week time. A good forecast is needed. Timber 3-5 days. All depends on the magnitude of the project and many more factors. Bad forecast = die. Site die. Me die. All die. Because of? Me? Indon? Lolz.
3) Checking the work of the workers, usually length, size and level – I seldom do this because I trust them. But trust them = die, According to most of the seniors. So, I use most of my time walking here and there. Sometimes I don’t know what am I doing. Wahahaha.
4) Worker allocation – Allocate more workers to the critical works. Preventing idling workers and optimize resources usage.
5) Punch Card Machine – I am the “Punch card bergerak” mesin.
6) Attend site meeting – which is the task I hate most. Sure kena tembak, although I was the least to be aimed. Always ask “Why slow?” “When finish?” “I want more workers!” and once I heard The AGM scolded the sub con, “I can make sure this might be your last job!” = =” scary.
7) Delivery boy – Sometimes buy dinner for workers during OT, almost 40 of them now. Buy tools for them. Print plan for their Kepala. Take things here and there. Fetching workers to other site sometimes.
8) Do progress claim – which is the job of a QS. Claim 996. Especially V.O. claim where lost might happen usually if missed or miscalculated.

The main purpose of my job is to coordinate the site, which is to improve the efficiency and productivity where my boss maximizes the profits. The faster the project is done the cheaper the cost is.
Eg. 4 months project. = 4 months salary, machine rental and etc. If completed in 3 months time, one-month cost can be saved which may cost up to 75K. Means I am the 75K machine! Haha! But a delay means I worth negative and prepare to be fired.

This is my first job, luckily my boss helps me a lot. But I have been shot by his pistol for a few times. I hope no AK-47 will aim at me. I heard he has a bazooka with homing missiles. Ha ha.

2 and a half months since the day I stepped my foot again in Malaysia. And I miss UK. ^^ Its weird and impossible to understand the chemical that reacts in the bottom of our heart. In England, I miss CCM nasi lemak, teh ais, futsal, home, everything, every single cell in Malaysia! That time, I was so desperate to go back home. But now, guess what. I miss Sheffield…. I miss the fresh chilling air, £2.50 kebab and the thing that I missed most……the relaxing and easy life beyond what we can achieve in Malaysia!

I wish I could live one year alternately in Malaysia and Sheffield. Wahahaha! That’s the strange thing buried beneath our soul. When we are relaxing, grasping the mysterious air surrounding our pure body, we don’t realize the tranquility and peacefulness in our life. Loneliness and dullness was the only thing we thought. Once we stepped out from the so-called “desert”, we look back and realize that the “desert” is the place we have been searching for.

So…. I wish I could turn back time to 30 May 2008 where I just stepped my foot in England. I miss England. I miss the life. :’( Don’t ever come back to Malaysia if you’d gone to England. At least stay one year there. Enjoy while you can. Believe me!

Below are some memorable photos where I lacked out as I am so busy now. I miss all the times we had........
