ITP - Industry Training Program

Tomorrow onward, I will have my industry training program at Infineon Technologies Malaysia. Din heard about Infineon Technologies? It assembling and testing more than 12 billion semiconductor devices annually and shipped to customers worldwide. My training period is about 3 months long. Happily, as a trainee at there can have a salary of RM400. Although the salary is not much but is better than no get pay at all. First time work as a trainee feels pretty nervous and worried. I have no idea for how the company operation, who is my supervisor and which type of task will be received at there.

Hence, just hope that everything goes fine during these 3 months. I can successfully complete the assignment given; get well with the coworkers at there, gain valuable experience and of course passing this subject. Aza Aza fighting!

Nice People

Last few days when I back hometown heard that my father carelessly lost his wallet at a petrol station. Inside the wallet have nearly one thousand of cash and identity card also. He didn’t notice about the lost on spot and only realized this when the worker at the petrol station called him to collect back his wallet. Fortunately, the worker is a nice people. She is not greedy. She didn’t take it and keep for herself. Instead, she returned the wallet to my father. Otherwise my father will suffer the lost of money and need to redo his identity card also. So, thanks a lot to the worker.

恰克与飞鸟

Today while watching MTV 封神榜 Concert held in Taiwan only realize that I am so outdated for current popular singer and band from Japan. W-inds – who are them? Totally don’t have any idea although they are so famous now.

Asking my roommate that she heard about this boy band or not? As a matter of fact, she also same with me didn’t know about them. Hehe, luckily I am not the only one who is out-of-date. After that, I think of CHAGE and ASKA and mentioned to my roommate, she is familiar with also. Suddenly, both of us have a feel of wish to listen to their song again. Searching on websites, fortunately still get to find of their song.

Still remember that when primary and secondary school times, Japanese drama was often showing at Channel 8 (a Singapore channel). Young people are crazy for it, no matter drama or music, actor or singer. It becomes a norm of fashionable.

At that time, CHAGE and ASKA are the famous Japanese musical duo, consisting of singer-songwriters CHAGE (real name; Shūji Shibata) and ASKA (real name; Shigeaki Miyazaki), both from Fukuoka. Together they have released many albums, and have received several music awards. “Say Yes,” which was the opening theme song for "101st Proposal" (a 1991 TV drama show) is their best known hit song,. Others song such as “On The Mar”, “邂逅" are also very pleasant to listen to.

Time fly, now CHAGE and ASKA no longer the famous team that everyone knew for them. It’s too bad …

CLICK ... a universal remote control

A film that cast by Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken, Kate Beckinsale, David Hasselhoff, and Sean Astin.

A workaholic architect, who has been overlooking his family in favor of his career, comes across a universal remote that allows him to perform TiVo-like functions on his life, such as pausing events or fast-forwarding over them. When the remote begins creating its own memory and choosing what to fast-forward over, the man sees how much of his personal life has passed him by and realizes the importance of spending more time with his family. Finally, he understands that family should come first than others thing. It is a meaningful film that touch everyone heart.

Every moment that we share with family’s members is precious. No matter how rich of you, happiness come from family can’t use money to exchange or purchase. If you think that the duty as a son or daughter is to give money to parents without showing care to them or as parents just need to give money for children to enjoy all the material, then you are totally wrong. This film reflects out what happened around us everyday. Busy already become an excuse for many people to neglect their parents, wives or children. Often, a simple call for parents will made them happy whole day long. A simple meal with family is thousand better than money. A simple sentence for praising children of their small achievement is better than toys.

In reality, how many people will put their family in first place? Most people think that success in work is the most important one. People keen to have fame, money, status and authority in their life time. They spend all their time in chasing all of this. Putting family aside, some even no idea of the age for their children, no idea of how old their parents are. Due to the lack of time, some will hire maids to take care of children and some send their parents to the homes for elderly. Shall I say that it is too pity for people spend their life like this? Don’t know to thanksgiving of the hardship of parents to bring them up. Don’t know to appreciate what they already have. Some people feel regret at the time that they lost the chances to showing love to parents or family. Sometimes it will be too late already. Something is impossible to get back when you lost it. Unlike in movie, real life dun have second chances. The instant you lost it mean you lost it forever.

Nevertheless, cannot be say that all people are of this type of personality. There are exceptional also. There are people who very love and care for their families also. Cheer for them.

I'm lovin' it!

McDonalds. Who hasn’t heard for it? It’s a place to eat for kids, youth, younger or elder. Especially for kids, the meals not only delicious but bring happiness and joy for them also. Happy Meals, more choices … more fun! A free toy can be collected through any purchased of Happy Meal. The kids will be happy when grab the toys in hand while parents are satisfy also when seeing their children happily. Every month, the toys presented will be different. It is not merely a toy already but become a valuable collection for adult also.

In May 2006, the ideas for the toys are characters of Disneyland. There are a total of 8 toys as a set which include Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Buzz Light- year, Snow White, Simba- the lion king and the cute Dumbo. Some simple introductions for these characters have been grabbing from the websites of Disneyland.

Mickey Mouse was debut on 18 Nov, 1928 at Steamboat Willie. His first color film is The Band Concert. Ever play as the roles for firefighter, sorcerer's apprentice, explorer, football player, and more. With an optimistic outlook on life and a boyishly enthusiastic nature, make Mickey a real winner. He’s a friendly kid-at-heart whose wholesome values and can-do spirit endear Mickey to everyone he meets. Unassuming and modest, he’s an all-around "regular" guy who remains humble despite all his reputation and success. With positive values and integrity, Mickey's the friend we'd all like to have and the person we'd like to be. Sports, spending time with Minnie and Pluto are his favorite hobbies whereas Pluto is his favorite pet.

Minnie Mouse is a typical girl with personifies the very spirit of femininity with her kind and caring manner. She elegantly moves, speaks, and acts with a wholesome girlish charm. Honest and childlike, Minnie always retains the undemanding, down-to-earth spirit of a cute country girl. She is always polite and proper, and despite her shy nature, maintains an air of independence and self-worth. Fun-loving Minnie enjoys life to the fullest. As a performer with great ability, Minnie loves music, frequently singing or humming to herself. The role she play before are homemaker, cheerleader, damsel in distress, all-around sweetheart and singer. Her hobbies are gardening, shopping, fashion, music, dancing. Sweet and demure but not entirely naïve, she is bright, with a mind of her own. Secure and strong enough to allow her partner to shine, Minnie graciously shares the spotlight with Mickey.

Donald Duck was debut in The Wise Little Hen in 1934. He plays as sailor, boxer, prankster, hockey player, and more. He likes to joke with his friends, partaking of other cultures, spending time with Daisy and his nephews. He eagerly begins each day with the best of intentions -- expecting everything to go his way. It’s just that the rest of the world won’t cooperate. In general, Donald is a friendly and cheerful guy, but when things don’t go as planned, he often loses his temper. He has boundless determination and a pervasive persistence that borders on stubbornness. Donald cares about his family and friends and can be counted on to do the right thing. Donald’s weaknesses are our own. He’s the lovable little guy on the bottom who faces defeat but keeps right on trying.

Pluto is 100% canine -- a natural dog. He is debut in The Chain Gang in 1930. He is friendly and loyal, with a simple nature and healthy curiosity. He always plays with chipmunks and other animals, chasing balls. Fun-loving and playful, the full-grown Pluto has the spirit of a puppy. He is first and foremost a loyal companion, always there for Mickey, and eager to please. Pluto likes to be rewarded for a job well done. Though he craves approval and affection, Pluto is quite affectionate himself. Kindhearted Pluto is a “good boy” ­– a faithful and true friend with real heart.

Snow White is a beautiful young princess who, in her efforts to escape the Evil Queen, befriends with seven dwarfs. Her gentle ways and trust allow the Evil Queen to harm her. Yet her pure, lovable nature also wins her the friendship and protection of the forest animals, the seven dwarfs and of course the handsome prince.

"I'm Buzz Light year, Space Ranger, Universe Protection Unit," "To infinity ... and beyond!”, laser beam, karate-chop action, and pop-out wings, Buzz is a boy's dream come true as a toy. Buzz suffers from the delusion that he is not a toy, but the actual intrepid defender of the galaxies, sent to save the universe from the evil Emperor Zurg. Buzz makes it his sole purpose after crash-landing in Andy's room to get his spaceship repaired and continue his mission with the universe protection unit. As a result, he views his daily routine as an outer-space adventure -- until he finally learns what Andy's other toys have known all along. He is only a toy.

Dumbo is a baby circus elephant which born with huge ears. He and his mother suffer humiliation from the other elephants and from children visiting the circus. But humiliation turns to triumph as Dumbo is surprised to discover through the help of his faithful mouse friend, Timothy, which he can use his over-sized ears to fly.

Simba, a young lion cub, struggles to find his place in nature's "circle of life" and follow in the regal paw prints of his father, the great King Mufasa, after his father is killed by his treacherous uncle, Scar. Scar convinces Simba that he is responsible for his father's death and urges him to run far away from the Pride Lands and never return. A frightened and guilt-stricken Simba flees into exile, where he is befriended by a wacky but warm-hearted warthog, Pumbaa, and his freewheeling meerkat companion, Timon. Simba adopts their no worries attitude toward life, living on a diet of bugs and taking things one day at a time as Simba matures into a young adult. When his childhood friend, Nala, arrives on the scene, he is persuaded to return to the Pride Lands, which have fallen into hard times under Scar's reign, and take his rightful place as king. The wise shaman baboon, Rafiki, convinces Simba that his father's spirit lives on in him and that he must accept his responsibility, and when he returns, he manages to defeat Scar and an army of hyenas to become the Lion King.

Twinkle twinkle little stars ...

Once, I read a quote about friendship that “Good friends are like stars.... You don't always see them, but you know they are always there”.

Somehow I feel this is quite correct. I hardly can forget this quote as it is really meaningful. We have many friends in our life time from primary, secondary, university until work places. Maybe we have a large circle of friends for more than hundred or two hundred or three hundred or even more people that we know, but for actually how many of them are our true friends that we can trust for.

A real friend is someone who walks in your life when the rest of the world walks out. He or she will always be there and may give you support whenever you need. Listen to your problem and help you to solve it. In good times and bad times, they will be on your side for ever more. They will share happiness, sadness, embarrassment, secrets and everything together with you. You can talk comfortably with them.

A real friend also likes a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. You will know that they will be always there to care for you. It is a feeling of forever in the heart. However, it is hard to find true friends in life. We may have friends that just say hello- bye when meet; friends who wish to take advantage of you, friends who have fun together and many others type of friends but of course true friends also.

If you have one or two true friends in your life time to keep you growing then you are considering lucky enough. When you get to find such friend, it is impossible for you to forget. Such friends are worth to cherish and treasure.

Friendship Forever!!!

Cloud ~ land ~

What is the meaning of cloudland? It can be refer as dreamland, dream world, faerie, fairyland, wonderland and cloud world as well. These are its entire synonym. The real meaning of this word is a realm of imagination or fantasy. However, it can be split become 2 words which are cloud and land also.

Cloud is a visible and moving body in the air. It dun has particular shapes and sizes. Sometimes you can use your imagination to think that it is an apple, butterfly, car, donkey and everything that u can relate. It is relaxing to lie on the ground viewing the movement of cloud. You can letting your mind to run wildly and have a good rest. Land is just a simple word. It can be a nation, country or just a small area. When this 2 word combine it become the title of the blog.

For this reason, the pictures showing above consist of cloud and land only. These 2 pictures are taken during year 2004 when I had a trip with friends.

Finally ... 30.06.2006 ...

Are you wondering what the special with this date? Is it there is big news happen around the world? Or is it a date that is unforgettable? Or maybe this is my birth date? Definitely the answer is no. I have no idea what will happen today, it is neither the national day nor the public holiday. It is not my birthday also.

It’s simply a Friday- the sixth day of the week. Employees have to go for working whereas students have to go for their class. Everything is on the track and progressing well.

For me, this is a day which I decided to post my 1st article in the blog although I have created the blog monthly ago. I didn’t plan to tell any of my friends that I have my own blog. Maybe this is just a place for me to voice out my own feeling. Happy or sad, good or bad, bitter or sweet, this blog just belong to me. Perhaps someday I will let my friends view my blog but sure not now.

Anyhow, welcome to cloudland!
