2 I was hamsup-ed by student!!!

It was a cozy and chilly morning. It's indeed a perfect weather to continue sleeping.

However, I had to drag myself out from the bed as I had to attend a lab supervision that morning.

I was half-awake when I drove to campus that day. What to do? I was assigned duty to supervise the replacement lab (as always) since I'm the most junior in my university.

Kena bully tapi diam-diam lor... Earn money manyak ka-nan ah!

Bad thing was...60 students turned up instead of the usual 30 that morning. Meanwhile, I was informed that my partner would be late to the lab because she was overslept.

Makan sendiri saja lo.. No choice!

Fine.. I tried my best to debug students' circuit and evaluate them on the spot, all by myself...

Miss, miss, miss... I cannot do.. miss, my LED doesn't light on... miss, help me.. miss, I smell something burning..!!! miss, I want to go to toilet...

KNS! I was so frustrated hearing people calling me 'MISS' that day. Kepala dah pening, panggil saya miss miss miss lagi! PIFF!

I noticed that there was a bunch of mischievous monkeys sitting at the front part of the lab. The reason why I recognized them is because those 'G-O-O-D' students always face book-ing and looking at sexy photos during my programming classes in last semester. They got nothing good, they just knew how to beg tutor to debug their code or add more marks to their in-lab assignment.

Like what I did in last semester, I helped them to troubleshoot their circuit. After putting in and pulling off a few jumper wires, the LED were on.

You know what?

The BIG GHOST HEAD of the gang stood up and hold both my hands in front of everyone! While keep saying thanks, he hold my hands so tightly IN FRONT OF SO MANY STUDENTS!

Honestly speaking, I think I had stopped breathing for at least 3 seconds when he hold my cold hands. My eyes became big and wide opened.

My soul went round the world and returned to that lab. Well, his action really made me awake...

I was a bit soh soh dei after that. My lab partner was late for 2 hours. Again, she thanked me by hugging me in front of the students TWICE!

I experienced extreme culture-shock. I had no idea why these happened to me on that day. Perhaps, my peach blossom luck was freaking bad in that morning.

Aih.. the worst day in year 2011. I'm sincerely hoping that a handsome student who looks like Lee Min Ho instead of those naughty boys will thank me by hugging me next time.

At least, I don't feel bad being harassed.

Color-wolf miss huh? :D No, I'm not!

2 OMG! I'm so BLUR!

I was diagnosed with food poisoning on the day I returned from Jogjakarta. The GENG thing is right after I left on my flight, Gunung Merapi erupted. I am considered lucky in this case.

Before I boarded AirAsia, I already vomited non-stop the day before. I just attempted to eat the Indon road-side hawker ONCE (YA! SATU KALI), then I kena KUAT-KUAT already. Today is the 3rd day after I returned. Yet, I'm still lau-saing. Whatever go into my mouth, it will come out through my mouth or in a form of liquid sai! :( I DID NOT EAT SOLID FOOD FOR 3 DAYS ALREADY!

The blur case was.... Yesterday, I went to class, sat there and waited for students.

Students came on time. There are 30 names in my attendance list but only 7 turned up. Those who turned up were the resit students. I was wondering how come all the good students whom I know skipped my class but the resit students came! But, I still performed my duties and taught the tutorial accordingly.

Today, I do the same thing. I went to the class, sat there and waited for students. The weird thing... no one came at all! I was thinking, "What the hell! Where have all the students gone!??"

After I've waited for 15 minutes, I returned office and re-checked my timetable. It's correct. No problem ark! Then, I checked the student bulletin...

The fact is the subject coordinator has canceled all the tutorial classes for this week. I'm not aware of that at all! No emails at all!

Do you know what so funny and so blur here?

IF THE SUBJECT COORDINATOR CANCELED THE TUTORIAL CLASSES FOR THIS WEEK, HOW COME 7 STUDENTS STILL CAME TO MY CLASS YESTERDAY?!!!



What a blur tutor with her blur students!

2 Juicy Couture Day Dreamer Tote

I was very depress with my research on last Sunday. mr. smiley asked me what do I want to get from US as his sis, Melissa will be back from Harvard next week.

Looking at the e-bay blankly, I have no idea what to buy. My mind was occupied with my research. I have no mood to do anything else. Frankly speaking, my life for the past few weeks was like hell.

Helpless, lost and depress... cried every morning after woke up... The most important men in my life, my supervisor and mr. smiley, were not in Malaysia. Every day, I just look at my software helplessly or find people to help me with my master candidature extension. I've talked to the deans and even the vice president of MMU. Suddenly, I've become popular in MMU because I will be terminated.

The R & D committee requested me to conduct a work completion seminar else I will be terminated by MMU. I had never feel so stress and helpless... I kept thinking of my effort for 3 years here...

I took a deep breathe, told myself to relax. So, finally I saw a pinky juicy couture tote at the first page. At the end, I got it. Hmm... It's not a good way to release stress,. It made a hole in my purse. The process of negotiating with the seller, registering eBay and pay-pal took me less than 30minutes. Tada! It's in Harvard now with Melissa.

Is the tote beautiful? :) It's a gift for myself for working so hard for the past 12 months.

The good news is I got my 12 months of extension without any terms and conditions on Tuesday. One of the kind deans in MMU defended me in the meeting!

Finally god answered our prayers! Thanks my dear friends and colleagues who gave me support and help while I was struggling hard for the extension!

Juicy is coming to nYnY soon... Harpi!

4 I'm MMU staff

Another colleague of mine is leaving MMU to further his PHD in Hong Kong.

He is one of the gentle and humble lecturers whom I know. I knew him since he was a tutor. Sigh.. Another friend is leaving..

As he is a friendly and helpful guy, many people 'celebrated' his farewell. We had a superlicious and extraordinary lunch in Puchong. We ate crabs and drank shark fin soup for lunch! Can you imagine how 'thrifty' we were? *Don't tell my supervisor! *

As usual, in engineering world, girls are rare 'animals'. Again, I went out with a bunch of monkeys guys, as always the only girl. I had to act 'macho' a bit to adapt to their style. :D

Some of them were my lecturers/ tutors when I was an undergraduate student. Today, I'm feeling a bit awkward sitting together with them during lunch meeting.

MMUiaNS, do you still remember the blur blur Mr. Ling (Ying Huo Chung) and Mr. Cheong (the loud speaker)? I'm their colleague now. I used to hate programming so so much yet I'm part of the teaching staff right now. I used to feel scare when I attended Mr. SN Cheong's class because he always called me to solve C programming questions in front of the class. And, I took a ride in his car today!

Time flies. I miss undergraduate time. The feeling is weird now. I did not realize that I'm already part of the MMU staff, sitting together with my lecturers...

I think my journey in MMU is going to the end soon..

Supervisors are urging me to do my work completion seminar and thesis draft already...

nY, jia you! Thesis and completion seminar, jiak sai! I will conquer you!

4 New Parking Method @ MMU

Car parking lots are always not sufficient in MMU. Sometimes, the staff have to 'compete' with students to get a parking bay inside campus.

Some of the daring students even park their car at the staff's car park. But, the responsible security guards will definitely do their job and clamp the 'intruders' vehicles' before they summon them.

Well, the student comes out with a new idea to get more parking lots.



Security Guard : Alamak!.. Should I clamp his car if he parks the car this way? *Headache*

2 Unforgetable Night in Staff Apartment

Today is the official night nY overnight in my BIG HOUSE.

It's really big for me because I used to roll on the floor in the day time. No furniture mah...

It's already 830pm after I settled all my works in office.

With an excited heart, I CLIMBED up the stairs and reached 4th floor with all my bags and stuff.

I could barely breathe properly when I reached the door.

I opened the door and tried to on all the lights because I was so scare to be alone during this chinese hungry ghost month.

Know what?

I heard a sound "pop" when I tried to on the lights in my master room. Whole unit became a dark hell that time!

I did not scream! I was shocked and voiceless!

After nY made a call to MMU Facilities Management Unit, two guys came to rescue me after they finish their prayer.

nY opened the door when someone knocked.

I saw 2 funny and 'dying' face.

Technician 1 : Wah! Stay so... high........ next.. next time rent... lower unit... *breathing hard with his hand leaning against the wall*
me : Sorry .. :p I have no choice.. this is the only unit available..
Technician 2 : Kami panjat begitu tinggi... lain kali tinggal bawah sikit dik..

They took almost 1 minute to balance their breathing.. nY curi-curi laughed seeing their cute faces.

They just on the main fuse back and everything went back to normal.

Then the 2 poor fellas went down after asking me to complain to their boss through online system.

What an unforgetable night in MMU staff apartment... Pity the 2 cute technicians..

So many people responsed when I post my status in fb.. XD

Hou sum lah.. Fuk sum lah.. Why I so kesian de ah?
Why Mr. Smiley jai belum datang lagi?

0 MMU... MMU...

Lately, I was busy marking reportS.

What I want to say is the students nowadays are not as 'kiasu' as we were last time. Most of them left the reports blank. It is a good news for me as I don't need to mark the blank parts but it is not a good news for our industry.

From full mark 5 marks, most of them got 0.65 only. For those 'copywriter', they definitely got a big ZERO.

Haih.. what happened to MMU students?

The more reports nY marked, the more upset I am. I even found some reports with the funny remarks.

This student left most the pages blank but he left me a note at the last page.

blank... all blank...

see! "thank you teacher" with a smiley face at the last page

Does he gets extra marks? NO.

He didn't get extra marks even He's cute.

Then, while I was keying in marks, I saw some geng name like Aladdin, Osama, Bakang... Perhaps Alibaba, Peter Pan, Jack Sparrow and etc will be my students one day too...

Alaaddin

After few years in MMU, besides hunting for eyes candies in the classes, this is how nY entertains myself while doing all the boring jobs .

AND, most of the new intake students are from Iran, Yemen and South Africa this year... less and less leng jais students in MMU already...

Sien...

3 That's it, nY!

That's it, nY!

Enough of playing around like a fool, enough of living a life like a student, enough of traveling around and wasting money...

After I ended my engineer life in Penang, nY already living like a student 'unconsciously' in MMU. My daily work is to teach, do research ( most of the time don't) ,sit in office and chat with students and perhaps hunt for some eyes candies in class/lab.

At this moment, nY feels that I'm not a real wo-'man'. I had been living like Peter Pan in my own Never land for 2 years +. I still think that I'm a student.

Whenever I meet my supervisor and co-supervisor in campus, I will hide myself. Not only me, some of my colleagues practise the same too. Why? It is because we don't do our work ( research) and always spending time doing something useless. :P Once, my colleague hid himself behind a pillar when his supervisor walked passed us. For my case, if my supervisor walks towards me, I will pretend I don't see him or shock until don't know how to react like the meow in the picture.

I'm not exaggerating. It is happening now. Kekeke

Since most of my ji muis already become a real woman ( getting married and forming a new family), I think it's time for nY to start working hard for my research too.

You all will become my witness, I will do my best to work for my research! I want to graduate asap. Yeah!

Please stop nY if you catch me watching drama again!

3 ECP1016 War - Revenge of the tutors

After being 'tortured' by the students for so long, finally is the time for us to REVENGE!

NGEK NGEK NGEK!

They thought their tutors/ lecturers are noob! COPY the assignment code from the 'SOURCE' and try to modify.

I WAS A MMU STUDENT BEFORE TOO and I KNOW THE TACTICS!!!

This time they cham liao...

Conversation between me and tutor C:

C: they told u they ask FIT student write for them?

C: then let them experience the term 'sek kai tan'
C: *devil*

Muahahaha... ECP1016 War~! Revenge of the tutors~! Sek Kai Tan lah!

Last Friday, they even tried to 'CHEAT' in the in-lab assignment! Treat me as invisible man!

REVENGE!! KEK SEI ME LAH!! Made me scolded students for the 1st time in my life!!

I'm such a bian tai tutor!!

12 BAN STUDENTS FROM ENTERING OFFICE!!!

BAN STUDENTS FROM ENTERING OFFICE!!!




ROAR!!!! ROAR!!! I want to blog all these out no matter how FATIGUE I am now.

I almost turn into lioness!

I was sick since one week ago and haven't recovered yet even at this moment. Yesterday couldn't sleep at all because I hardly breathe when I lied on bed. At last, I turned on my laptop and watched some of the make-nY-cry taiwanese dramas until the sun came out.

I only slept for 2 hours and then had to force myself to wake up b4 9a.m. because I promised my 'beloved' students to help them in their programming assignment. I was so so so sleepy while I was driving back to the boring city, Cyberjaya and kept slapping myself to keep myself awake.

KANASAI!

I reached my office at sharp 11a.m. I felt very paiseh when Dr. Lim asked why I reached office so late today.... kekeke.. *I always reach this early geh la *



After I located my butt on the comfy chair, here come the bees of students! The FLOW of the students was non-stop from 11a.m. until 4p.m. when my hero ( my sis) came to the rescue and brought me away from all the 'hustle and bustle' of the office. :P

I finally could have my yummy BREAKFAST ( ya! It's BREAKFAST) at 430p.m. and took a nice shower to relax myself.

I have another 30 minutes to rest before I headed back to office for 'second round'.

The flow was still there even it was 5p.m. Hmmm... MMU culture no good, always last minutes! Make me also wanna hilangkan diri last minutes!

The last student left at 7p.m. I thought I could finally REST IN PEACE but... MALANG TAK BERBAU!!! Itu Chin mia students requested me to debug the errors in their program at 730p.m.

You know what happened?

I think I could hear a exploding sound *DUUP* that time! KEPALA MELETUP!



I could feel that my face was very BLACK that time. I called Chin and almost wanted to scold people already. I screamed and shouted as loud as I can when I entered the car but yet couldn't release my TENSION after debugging more than 10 projects today.

I think I have to put a "On leave" notice on my desktop tomorrow to hide myself again! :P



Pals, it is not easy to become a good tutor and a good researcher at the same time....I finally understand why majority of the lecturers/tutors are SOT SOT dei one... :D

0 Intel VP Talk at MMU

There was an Intel Talk by Intel VP @ MMU last Friday at 10-12p.m.

Intel VP, Greg Taylor is the speaker of the talk. Since he is so influential and 'powerful', our dean, Dr. Lee demanded that no empty seats are allowed during the talk to keep our reputation.

Greg Taylor

As usual, ordinary human being especially the students hate this kind of boring talk . In order to make the auditorium full, our dean requested that all the classes which were held during that time to be canceled and the students had to proceed to hall to fill the seats.

nY pity the students. Even the talk is started from 10a.m., those students from 8-10a.m. had to attend the seminar too. When Mr. Cheong announced about the 'special request' in my class, all the students boo and looked so sien.

BUT, once nY said that there will be bonus marks if they made effort to the talk, all of them guai guai dei waited for me in front of FOE staircase. How cute are my students!!!

Coincidently, there was a fire alarm when the VP reached FOE building. That time, nY was wondered whether it was a tactic to evacuate the students in the building or as a welcome siren for Intel VP. XD


I have to tell everyone that MMU students are very cute and funny. Some of my students keep pointing their face with a smiling face when I entered the hall.... You know why... They wanted to inform me that they did attended the talk and I should know what to do. ( give bonus marks)

The talk took about 2 hours. All of the participants of the talk including myself fell asleep because I really no idea what the VP was talking. Kekeke... Don't mention the first year innocent students... KELIAN them! Lucky to become the victims! AND they stayed in the hall till end of the talk, not like us( former MMU students) 'run away' in the mid of the talk. *Evil*



KELIAN the 1st year students...

Video Shooting @ Nokia Lab MMU

Busy! busy! Work! Work! nY is extremely busy lately. I've been pretty preoccupied... After the restructuring of management level in MMU and 'rise' of the new dean - Dr. Lee, my work load become at least 3x compared to one in previous year.

I have 4 to 5 midterm invigilations, has been assigned to become the usherer in an international forum in Hotel Nikko, being FORCED 'offered' to teach 2 new subjects in this semester , in charge of MMU Open Day as the only one usherer this coming Saturday AGAIN! (Till I can’t join a trip to Cameron Highland) :( *Sob sob* WHY? The dean’s secretary said it is because I am young and pretty! PUI!~

After complaining so much about the burden of the work load, I've also learnt that I have to accept the fact that I can't run away from it... I don't have much of an option, do I?

It's time to put this on my table d...

Yesterday, I received an even more 'astonishing' surprise! The dean assigned me to ACT (can you believe it??!!!) in a Malaysia Educational promotional video shooting by the Ministry of Higher Education without any EXTRA PAY! And… he wanted us to be in the office at 10a.m. early morning for the 30 minutes (drag till 2 hrs) shooting. Cheap cheap cheap labor!!!!! I wanna kill people d! Why me AGAIN!!!!! My name is always there in his forwarded email. What also kena me!! But jackpot and BONUS TARAK KENA LANGSUNG! @#$#%$^*&()

I WANT TO RELEASE THE TENSION! I've attended non-stop body combat classes so that I can kick and hit as hard as I could when I imagine I’m punching HIM like punching a PUNCHING BAG. *Evil* In addition to my illness, I've lost few kilos owing to this reason in just one week time. HappY!

SONG!~PUNCH! PUNCH! PUNCH!

Go back to the video shooting… A few LUCKY tutors (me, ck, ee and nisha) and lecturers are ‘invited’ to act too. The scene is about a bunch of Master students who is having class at the lab. Our baby-face lecturer–Bryan the handsome has to pretend that he is giving lecturing and consultation to the student jais (tutors). All the tutors had to act as if they were discussing the topics and in fact we were having some crazy talks.

Setting of the scene

Assistant director... muka happy

What's going on over there?

nY's alpha year and acting lab partner -ck

The funniest part was that when we were having a view of students coming out from the class. The director shouted CUT when nY LOL when facing the camera. He claimed that we should look serious and not laughing…. But students usually hooray and laugh at the moment the lecturer says ‘CLASS DISMISS’ one mah… No wrong right? :D

Hehe… Leave the stories at the back. I’ll upload the video once I receive the final version from the crew.

STAY TUNE!

*Extremely EVIL tutor...*



Today will be the date line for my students' C Programming assignment. Students have to submit both the hard and soft copy of their project to me before 5p.m.


The trend in MMU is always " LAST MINUTES WORK"! As usual, my office will be congested with bunches of students the day before the submission. My email will be flooded by email of students. The best thing was around 50 students turned up in my replacement classes on Monday night where the original amount of students in the class is 35. The others were there to 'ask' me about their assignment.

nY was quite touched with their sincerity. That's why the next day I stayed in office whole day to help them to debug the errors and tried to give some ideas to them of the program flow. I love my own tutorial class students. They didn't start the project at the eleventh hour. They will consulted me every time after I finished the tutorial. nY didn't eat since morning and was thinking to leave office at 4p.m.to mum mum. MANA TAU... When I was preparing to leave, few groups of student knocked my door and asked me to debug the program for them. JJ CHIN panai lar... He already left the office early early...

Aih... That time my stomach already started to play drum loudlY... but aih... I have to stay.... The problem was all the flow and the data structures they implemented were wrong... I'm not debugging but rewriting the code for them d... At the end, I sent them a simple code and asked them to modify from there. When I got home, I checked my email. 2 mails caught my attention. It goes like this...
" Dear miss...

Can u conducted any other slot miss for the class as i mis yesterday's class .
its a highly request from me as i got a lot of problems in programming.for ur
information im repeating this subject..this is second time taking ecp 1016.

paper...please help me..please set another clas ..i hupe u understand my situation
was unfit to cum for yesterday class.thanks miss..i shall wait for the announcement
from u in mmls..
bye miss and thanks for reading this mail.. "

Another mail...

"To the one who is actually kind and helpful but pretended to b unhelpful.

Can  I consult u  around 3pm? Thx~ "

No big no small mia students hor.. But they are cute... Haha..

After told JJ Chin about those incidents, we decided to "MAKE OURSELF DISAPPEAR" from students. I tak sampai hati to KILL THEM ALL, hence I choose to HIDE.





Now, I'm sitting here. Blogging and planning to hide until after lunch time.... Feel a bit 'GUILTY' for being so EVIL.... God won't punish me for being so bad hor .. XD


'



Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my EVIL SIFU, Mr. Chin for his guidance on training me to become a devil! Million thanks!
