4th year and the final hurdle begins....


My final year in MEng Chemical Engineering in Imperial College London. Through out my three years here, I have not failed to recognise that I am in fact in one of the most prestigious University in one of the most exciting cities in the world.

Three years has whisked by. I have gain and learnt so much it is beyond imagination. Through each fall and through each sacrifice, I have came out stronger. The greatest setback yet, is my inability to get an offer from BP. However, I know I will come out tougher than ever, achieving many many things that only myself can dream about.

It was Audrey's graduation today, somehow, I felt extremely proud of her :) Her parents definitely were. My time will come soon, and when it comes, i will know which country I am going to be at. It is Audrey's day today, she deserved it after all the hard work and pain her lecturers and I gave her. She may never wear a graduation hat again, its a day to cherish.

Again, I cannot stress more that being top of the class does not mean you're the best in the real world. The process of learning and the journey to the ultimate goal is still one that's worth cherishing.

Sabah and Ideas

After a first CNY celebration in Malaysia in 4 years, I am off to Sahabat, LAhad Datu for my first placement in the FVOP refinery. It was an eye opener al-together. I spent the weekend at Audrey's for CNY before heading off on Monday to officially embark on my first duty. First stop, the airport - it is as small as an LRT station in KL. Simple, no conveyor belts for luggage, just a simple raised platform for luggage. Small waiting area and 2 scanning system, that's all. All the more efficient and tiny, but it costs RM 186 a single way from KK to Lahad Datu, that's extortion. My boss - Mr Abdul Ali was very welcoming where he drove his 4WD to pick me up and treat me to a wonderful Chinese meal with his wife and colleague. YES, Chinese Meal in a Chinese restaurant. So here we are, in a smaller town compared to the big cities, and there is so little racism that a Malay can eat openly in a Chinese restaurant and calls it the best restaurant in town. Mind you, even police offic...
