The year 2013.

Alhamdulillah. 

A year has pass by and this year has though me many things, especially in life as well as the growing up process. This year, (and just like any year) felt short, probably cause i really enjoy my time? Well, for some part, yes. Some stage in this year felt rather short. Like seriously short. Especially the first 4-month of my internship. Nevertheless, 2013 has been an amazing year for me and looking back at my early 2013-resolution i can say, im proud of myself after all this time.

yes. my 2013 resolution.

 So yeah, some of it i managed to get it done,  like 5 finishing medals, B-license for big motorcycles, backpacking to Japan, and to meet new friends from events. and looking back, since 2013 was the year of preparation for internship and the real internship itself, my resolution of the year was a little blerghh.

But to jot down a few, these are my most joy-est, proudest, and most thankful experience i had in 2013.

MIROC2013 - Paintball robot competition.

It was my first time leading up a team of skills students for a paintball robot competition. It was fun, it was tiring, and it was stressful. My lack of leadership skills does show here and then but ultimately, it help me realize that i can improve my leadership skills. I get a better understanding of teamwork, not that i don't know before, but i learn how badly a teamwork is importance in making a project or a plan working.

LIMA'13 - 2nd times though

Yes. The Langkawi Internation Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition 2013. Oddly it took place early in March, unlike it previous year, since they think its a good idea to find a date that does not clashes/ too close to another aerospace exhibition(which will jeopardize the investor/ exhibitors.) Well like i said, its my second time, and this time im just acting as a volunteer, with no real volunteer job. haha. To be frank, this one wasn't as fun as last 2 years, probably because this time there are more people, new people coming in as volunteer and majority of them come in group, which in reality, impose a problem for any solo and out of nowhere guy like me to join in the group. But cheer up, there is always sunlight at the end of the tunnel(unless its night.) I've met some great friends, some old great friends and some great new friends, and im thankful for our meetings. and really, i do hope to see you guys again. Next LIMA perhaps?

The Internships.

Me. Skin. Sham. Sakinah. Yana. Fizi. Muizz. Lin. Muhaimin. Nisrin. Ainuddin.  These are the people that i never imagine hanging out, share a laughter, work together and during this times, i'm really thankful for their presence in my internship. I've known some of them previously but i've never though we could be close and truly, im thankful for all of you.

and for my supervisor, Wak Khalid, thank you for everything. Word are not enough for me to describe your help during this internship.

The whole experience of working at a offshore oil platform, well, i didn't get that experience. Instead, i got the whole experience of working at an Onshore gas platform, something that i'm very much excited to go although at first i don't have any interest in. But over time, i've seen how the process goes, i know where my interest can be place inside the Oil&Gas industry. And InsyaAllah, i'll try my best to go that way.



The backpacking trip/ sponsored trip, Japan.
 

You know, i've imagined to be to Japan. Long ago. Alhamdulillah i was given the chance to. And its one of thing that im grateful of this year. p/s: wait for the next write up. more post coming in.








The completed runs.

I'm truly proud of these achievement. the training, the effort, the pain, the joy, the sweat, everything was worth it when that medal is in your hand. Hey, im not beating any national record or anything, but at least im doing something to improve my overall physical health.




You know what, there are lots of thing that happen in 2013. And that because we live, as long as we live this short life we had, there will always be moments, moments to cherish, moments that makes you cried, moments of joy, and sometimes there is no moments. But apart from all of that, Alhamdulillah for this great and awesome year, each and every one of you make me who i am today.

2013. Signing off.

Short while

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In about 7 hours or so I'll be on my way to Langkawi so i decided why not i take a short time to write something before I'm off.

Well, this going to be my second time in Langkawi Island, The first time was during LIMA2011. Despite having the luxury time of about a month in this beautiful island, the jewellery of Kedah, sadly i still didn't have much time to enjoy the places. Oh and yeah, this time it's holiday time. It's a prize for our hardwork for getting second runner up in Robocon 2011 competition that was held in Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, Nilai, early July last year. Well, more like we use half of the money prize. hehe

So for this time around i really wanted to go to the cable car. Like seriously. Last time me, Haswan and ajieb went there but sadly it was already 7 p.m. and the good scenery was all gone and it will be a waste to get up at that time. But we still have picture :p

Underwater world. I can't remember the last time I went to see a big Aquarium. Maybe in my early days but i can't seem to remember any of it.

Kuah Town. Well, I've been there several time before but that was for only a casual walk. a timed casual walk. Didn't have the luxury to walk around, taking our time, enjoying the view, the town, the people. Ah.


And that's about it. I'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Unlike before, we only have enough budget to get on ferry(instead of the Airplane ;p) Just hope that i woke up early so i won't miss the bus eyy??

Langkawi International Marintime Aerospace '11

From LIMA 2011

Assalamualaikum and Good evening Ya'll.


I think it has been a month or so since i've last wrote something meaningful here.

For the past one month, i have been very much occupied by works for HWLIMA, organizing the biggest Aerospace exhibition in Malaysia, The Langkawi International Marintime & Aerospace Exhibition 2011, or in short, LIMA 2011.

Frankly, i can't described everything that i've experience during the total duration of 1 month working for a big event in one blog post. I mean seriously. I need like 2 or 3 blog post for all the story. But by the time i've done with this post, my eagerness to blog will suddenly fade away. Just like it used too.

So without further ado, LIMA2011 photo presentation.

Working.

Sleeping at 5 and waking up 2 hours later? Done. One day without a sleep with a lot of work still needed to be completed? Done. Handling the timetable for all 98 of the delegates? Done! Making timetable the night before it should be handed over to the officers? Done!

overtime!

Syahmi with PASKAU Officials


What i can say about working in the organization is damn tiring! You'll be needing a cup of coffee each morning and in the evening, plenty of plain water. Like plenty okay?

People

God know how many kind of people i've met during this time, some are annoying, some are good, some are very bad, some are not responsible, some were cooperative and some just don't. But at the end of the day, despite having to know different individuals, you'll be thankful to be who you are. Who you became, and now you can be more wise in determining how you wanted to be in the future. Haha





Volunteer

Now i bet all the volunteer must be waiting to read this. First of all, thank you, thank you so much for making this LIMA a bit more meaningful for me, the day i sent you guys off is the saddest day during LIMA 2011. Honestly. Tak tipu. Despite you guys keep on haunting me for questions which even i can't answer, but i did try my best to answer it for you guys. Seriously, all of the question you guys ask, i didn't even ask Ms. Azlin for advice, i give my answer based on what i know, but if i know someone who know better, of course i'm gonna direct you guys to them. So if my answers wasn't good enough for you guys to answer to the officials, im sorry with all my heart.

Especially to the LO peeps, thank you, especially those who stay up with me until 5 in the morning to finish up all the booklets, you guys are my savior. To those who keep on asking question, thank you for occupying my time, honestly, i like to be asked question, to be talk with, because let's face it, you know i'm quite a shy guy to begin with. To the operation people, thank you, despite not having the chance to get along with you during the first three days, you guys are the one single team that doesn't care if were to left behind, to clean up the mess. You guys are the backbone of the operation. To the Info counter and courtesy call peeps, thank you for the helping the last 2 days, giving me companion in front the info counter at the front gate despite still having to entertain the public visitor.

I have to say i'm sorry, i can't really remember all of your names during LIMA, but i remember who you are ;) So after this ill try to remember each and every name of you guys okay?

This is my actual first event that i've joined and worked for. Of course i've joined many event before in University but this is the first real time under working condition, meeting all the importants people and companies. Despite having a team which only consist of not more than 15 people to manage an event this big, they are all very much capable and succeed in making LIMA2011 happen. Although we have to suffer a bit lah kn? haha. To me it is a success, so sweet, that makes all those sleepless night, and hectic day seems like nothing now. I truly am thankful to get this opportunities to learn all sort of things here, in HWLIMA and at LIMA2011.
