September ...

1. I went back home for a couple of days due to the Merdeka Day. Luckily this time I had some companies followed me back to my hometown and most importantly they shared the traveling cost with me :D. They are actually the students of UTAR from the same hometown as me, and one of them is actually the sister of my friend. On the way back to BP we stopped by at Melaka and had our dinner there. After dinner, I showed them to Jonker Walk which is one of the attractions in Melaka. It had been years I did not put my step to this place after I graduated from Multimedia University.

2. I've got myself a new handphone though not an advanced one but have got all the features I wanted like GPS, WiFi and 3.5G. This new toy offers a lot more features like it supports *.pdf, *.doc, *.xls, and *.ppt file formats. However, the GPS software was not come along with the handphone itself although I'd requested the seller to install for me but got rejected by him as the shop is selling only the genuine handsets and never provide such kind of services. Of course you can pay for installing the GPS software from any of the handphone accessories shops, but the software installed is a pirated copy and they will still want to charge you from about RM50 - RM100. I don't really want to pay such amount for just getting a pirated software so I spent a couple of days on researching how to install the software myself. Thanks to the Internet and now I've had the GPS software installed on my handphone :p. Not only that, I can start to do the "dirt" job to install the GPS software on your mobile devices and charge you at a cheaper rate than other shops, haha ...

3. This would be the biggest thing happened in this month though today is still 24. I've sent out the PhD application. The entire process was just taken 2 days, from the moment I approached the professor, talked to him on phone, and finally sent out the application. Currently still waiting for the further notice whether I can secure the scholarship or not. Wish me luck then.

August ...

It has been quite sometimes since the last time I blogged here due to the busyness plus with a little bit of laziness. It was so many things happened within these period. Therefore, I decided to give a short view of what had happened in these 2 months.

1. I had moved to a new place, not too far from what I had previously stayed. The room is bigger and the rental is cheaper. However, the main reason was because the old place had the direct sunlight shone to the room from the afternoon till the evening. I couldn't imagine I had been stayed in an oven for a few months then only made up my mind to shift out.

2. First time in my life I attended to a concert named "Super Band" held at Bukit Jalil with my colleagues. SuperBand is formed by four veterans: Luo Da You, Emil Chau, Jonathan Lee and Zhang Zhen Yue. I've no regretted to attend to such a wonderful concert.

3. The first Korea gang gathering after I got back to Malaysia for 1 year plus. The gathering was intended to gather those had attended to Dongseo University no matter for doing their postgraduate studies or industrial training. However, the attendance was not as good as expected due to some "unforeseen" and "technical" and whatever kind of reasons :p. Anyhow, we still managed to have twelve person attended to this big event as shown in the picture below:

We had our dinner at one Korean restaurant named "Daorae" situated at Sri Hartamas. The taste of the foods was quite close to what I had eaten in Korea so I've no hesitation to recommend this restaurant to you.

4. I've been assigned to a new faculty with the department remained the same. The previous faculty I attached to had finally split into three new faculties due to the expansion of number of students. The former one was considerably too big to represent three major disciplines namely engineering, science and technology.

Basically these are the major events happened in August and I shall continue with the story for September in the next post.
