Today is also the first time I on leave (a paid one, of course) in the year 2010. I rarely on leave, most of the time I on leave for some purposes to settle things. But today, I on leave just for the sake of on leave – have fun, enjoy the unlimited Internet access at home! (We currently don’t have Internet access in the company, so LAME)

This morning, I went to Swinburne.

The school compound is really huge. I mean, that’s how it feels like to be in a campus with lots of students from different places around the world.

Going to class with Cherry. Do I look like a student? wakaka…

Cherry takes design courses. Today her class is about “Introduction to Communition Design“. I don’t even know what does that really mean!

It was a 3-hour-class in the design studio.

The class (number of students) is kinda small and they were mostly quiet. Except for Cherry and her friend, Cally.

It’s fun to watch what they were doing. It didn’t feel like attending class when I sat there. It feels more like attending art class tuition.

Cherry was drawing some objects for her “mark” assignment, or whatever they call it.

This “mark” thing requires student to draw and cut out the template and fill / stamp it with black calligraphy ink.

It looks just fun to play around with ideas.

Design course actually give you more opportunity to expose yourself with different ideas and develop creativity.

This is a lecturer from Melbourne. Giving ideas to a student. She’s lucky.

By the way, looking out of the window, you can see tHe Spring shopping mall!

And this is the lecturer’s computer. It’s connected to the projector, so that sometimes slides can be shown directly from the computer. It’s a Dell running on Windows XP Professional.

Guess what they can do in Swinburne? Facebooking!! Yea, Facebook is a communication platform for lecturers and students other than their official virtual “Blackboard”.

Meanwhile, when I had nothing to do, I login to mobile Facebook since I didn’t join their “drawing session”, and the lecturer was not giving any lecture like the one I had during my college life – lecturers explaining all the theory stuff with examples given, from simple things like what is TCP/IP to System.out.println(“Hello, World!”); kind of stuff. （See the difference between computing and design?）

Also get the chance to visit the washroom. Took some self portrait here due to good lighting..haha

We also went to the cafeteria to fill up our hungry stomach since we didn’t have our breakfast.

It’s like a typical kopitiam you have in town. There’s a variety of food stalls for you to choose what you wanna eat. We bought some hotdog at RM2.70 each.

I ordered a Super Potato hotdog whereas Cherry had Twin Cheese hotdog.

This is me eating my hotdog.

It was a not-so-bad experience to “sneak” into one’s class when you are not even a student. Cherry’s classmate had guessed wrongly for my actual age. Even the lecturer still asked what program I am taking. I take that as a compliment ^^

It’s a crazy day, doing crazy things. What a wonderful leave day!!

I’ve actually thought of getting a master degree via online university, something like masters degree in information security or other I.T related masters. But when time fades, the urge to study become lesser and lesser and what I really want now is to learn how to earn more real cash!

This is all I can see about SPM from the official web!! Only time table? For what???!

This is an online era, why can’t the government setup an online portal for students to check their results online?? Or at least through SMS?? I remember few years back, when I was still in high school, I could check my UEC results through the online portal. Yes, I’m from Chinese private school.

Even private school can do this, why can’t government school do it too?

Go online lah!
It definitely facilitates many parties.

Last but not least, wish all the SPM 2008 students all the best upon receiving your results.

Time passes by like a flash of lightning, it’s been 50 years since the school was built. Here is a video made by teachers and students of CHMSNo.1. You can see how my school look like and I think this is a very well-done video to promote the school.

I never regret my choice of choosing CHMSNo.1 as my school. It’s a private Chinese school which means my parents had to pay for my school fee every month, unlike government-supported schools (which the main teaching media is in Malay).

Thank you, Chung Hua Middle School No.1.
感谢母校。因为您，才会塑造今天的我！

Back then, it was really torturing as during the second phase of the project, I started to get my first job. Having stress in both work and study, I took quite some time to finish my dissertation. Because it was an online degree course, I didn’t have any “physical” coursemates to do discussion. That makes starting of my dissertation a bit difficult as I have nothing much to refer and normally ended up no ideas. But at last, when the due date drew nearer and nearer, I had no choice but to squeeze out whatever I could think of and completed my project in time. Phew~

Now, if you are in the same situation, you can easily buy a dissertation for your own reference and have a higher chance to score good grades. However, if you are planning to buy a dissertation, remember to make a correct dissertation order by specifying your exact research requirements and any relevant information. Or else, you may end up buying a dissertation that does not fit your work.

Get the correct dissertation and you are free from academic tortures.

Do you have any experience in rushing your projects during the last minute?

Nicholas Teo 张栋梁

Have you ever wonder which school Nicholas studied for his secondary education? It’s Chung Hua Middle School No.1, CHMSNo.1 in short (古晋中华第一中学). Rather then saying that it is his school, I would like to say it’s my school too. Well, my school has “produced” some famous kids. Other than Nicholas, the famous Kuching celebrity blogger – Kenny Sia, was once a CHMSNo.1 student. Director Cai Ming Liang, Jessie Chung (Jeffrey Chung), just to name a few, were once a student here too.

I went back to school on the 19th..

This is where I used to study for 6 years. This is the big hall, it wasn’t like that before. It was hard to capture a good shot without fish eye.

Back of the hall, in front of the science lab. I don’t know if that building is still used as a science lab or not. The blue building is the library.

There is a bronze memorial statue here as an appreciation to Mr. Guo XiFeng, a generous person who donates the land for building the school.

Front view of the bronze memorial statue. Well, it was built after I graduated from school. =.=

If you can read Chinese, this is what written on it.

There are two ponds in front of the science lab. However the water lily does not blossom by the time I take all these photos. Same ponds but look really different.

Because, now you can see some “graffitti” on it. Very interesting.

Dancing with music

Cute?

Jay Chou really brings great influencial…

I think this is cute. It means “Become an empress/concubine, also rock”

What’s wrong with ducks?

I was a school prefect during my last 3 years in school. The place that I used to “hang out”.

This is the building that I studied in during my final year. I kinda miss those time.

This is something new. I don’t know why they want to build a shade here.

This is the canteen. Air-con inside. Do you spot Orange?

Well, the main reason for going back is to visit the China book exhibition held in the hall from 18th May to 3rd June.

Life is good now, fully air conditional hall. During my time, only fans were available.

Lastly, people do change – especially after becoming famous…

Just take Nicholas Teo as an example.

Cool?
