What's up?

As the title says.... WHAT'S UP EVERYBODY?

I know I should be sleeping now but as I was doing the usual stalking-ppl-on-fb daily routine of random people before I go to bed, I realized I have sorta "disconnected" from the utarians >_<"

I know it's really common when one asks "how are you" just to start a conversation with a stranger/friend just for the sake of being polite or god-knows-what reasons, but here's a genuine "how are you" to everyone in kiasu spirit.

How are you? How's your new job/course?

Well, here's a lil info bout my current life. Staying in PJ now, working as a biomedical conversion engineer that deals with MRI images and designing knee implants everyday. Is my work stressful? Yes of course it is, but it's more like everyone in my department is stressed due to KPI issue. On the good side, I don't deal with clients/surgeons directly =D

Piang said...

Piang here :D

I am now studying/"Kuli-ing" in Taiwan National Cheng Kung University. Now doing fishy research on Grouper fish's Nervous necrosis virus.

Unilife is nice, just that I have to spend most of my time inside lab (10am-11pm) daily regardless holiday or weekdays (always sneaking out when I have time XD). But, there is one thing that Utarian should be proud of... I get into this university because of UTAR, my current supervisor said that "UTAR is a newly emerge university, your university's lecturer are more energetic compare to the other U. I know UTAR is quite young, but this university's quality is quite good, :D"

I wish that I had shown them Utarian BT's Kiasu Spirit, Kiasu Bo Kiasi, Pia until my last breath and enjoy every moment.

~thanks to everyone in BT that always inspiring me

JoJo said...

Sio Yen said...

My turn!! hee...

Sio Yen here. Thank you Ce-Yan for starting up this post.

I'm currently working in a health screening center as a medical technician. It's a nice place to work in, but it's a bit slow and sometimes too free. Don't get me wrong, not that I want to be very, very busy, but aometimes I feel like it's a waste of time. Ok, better stop here. ^^ Anyway, I'm also staying in Subang. Yes, we should definitely get together soon.

WanSin said...

wan sin here =)

I'm currently staying in subang, very near to sio yen, so if u guys happened to drop by subang, can visit 2 of us at the same time. 1 stone kill 2 birds~

I'm working at klang, as music teacher in Yamaha, teaching group classes, dealing with pre-school kids...surprise?
it's fun and challenging especially when have to deal with all sort of parents, especially kiasu parents..
One advantage is my working time is pretty short lor, but then terbalik with other peoples..I only start working when everyone is coming back home.. =(

Looking forward to our BT gathering.. how come the event no news ady mia?

Dormiens said...

WanSin said...

~空~风~ said...

AMOK here.

Good to see Ce Yan started this first post since our graduation. Touching to see kiasu BT people came back and commented on it.

I worked as Nature Specialist at Penang Butterfly Farm (PBF) before. Title sounds good but actually it is a tour guide nature job. Main responsibility is to guide tourist through the farm and also explain about the life and interesting facts of live exhibit at PBF. Pay is quite low but the company is VERY nice. So yee Zhieng, I havn't experience the darkness in the street yet. However, I knew about the hardness of working life now. Uni life definitely better and less stress (exam stree is nothing compare to life stress when you need to start planning own future and also taking care of parents). But I met alot of interesting people from around the world. Nice exposure indeed and I had the chance to polish my poor english and this job also enhanced my confidence to embrace master program.

Now I am the only master student of Dr. Alan in UTAR Sungai Long campus (Barry and Swan is writing paper now). But I have nothing to do now as I am buying my things. My quotations are on the meeting table now (not yet approve). Haha... so free that I am now teaching 3-6 yrs old kids Chinese class. Teach them how to pronouce and write. Cute and one of them is very cunning. He said he don't know English but actually he can speak very well. He doesn't want to write and this is very challenging. lol...

Hope to hear from others and see post about your working life. This post stimulated my urge to post about PBF and UTAR Sg. Long lab. But I am very lazy to write blog d... so wait la... wahaha...

The job responsibility is doing research on fabric such as one of technology is develop Non-iron clothe ( as customers don not need to iron their formal wear after they wash clothes and etc). That kind of clothes are sold in US ady. =)
I miss Uni life badly.
Working in factory especially many thing to be considered and see people face to work. Stress from Boss and big boss as well as from working performance review. Have good relationship with all layer of people only can foster our progress. It is good to train someone to become alert when meet with different kind of people.

Dear Wan Sin:

Hey, you are playing music for a living! Live life cool! Sing the Yamaha theme song: La la la, hot cross buns.

On a more serious note, let me proudly proclaim that I have completely forsaken my Biotechnology teachings and subscribed to an office job where I feel immensely helpful by making a minimal contribution to my hotel company using DNA structure drawings that, in some ways, imitate the management structure of my organization. Of course, some would say I had already forsaken my Biotechnology teachings way before the start of the final exams, which lead to speculations as to how I managed to graduate, and why in the world I am spewing nonsense in this blog post's comments when I am supposed to be working right now.

WanSin said...

E Zhieng: stubborn betul..!! then next time i want call u E Zhieng d..

Jee Yann: since when Yamaha got a theme song named "lalala"? n hot cross bun is the first song of 4 years old kid learn la..not theme song ok...simply hantam saja...hey u know chee hong ka?

JoJo said...

Jacquelyn Ho said...

CheeShin here, still at UTAR!! as lab officer.

ying chian said...

Hey people, miss u guys loads and good to hear from everyone! I always think that our kiasu spirits are the best, see, now everyone is venturing into different fields, so damn cool! As for me, I am STILL an underwriter in a VERY FAMOUS insurance company (despite stressing that I will be resigning very soon, I wonder why I'm still here *shrugs*). Its my first job and I always felt being exploited by the company, therefore I call myself a cheap labour. Le sigh. However by bringing along the spirit of kiasu-ness with me, I somehow manage to endure the hardship, things do get better now, at least less complains u heard from me XD

Anyway, where are the dai lous(MZ, Francis & Kitson) of kiasu spirit?

Soo Ping (Daphny) said...

Hi everyone!!

shee wuen here..so touched to read all the comments and UTAR indeed is our choice! Indirectly molded us and trained us to become BOLDED and STRONGER than any other uni students, as jojo said Taylor's are more lembik one..(lol, maybe some are not)

I am working in Pfizer as medical rep and thankfully I am enjoying it very much. Sales in pharma is really different as we are dealing with drs and pharmacists and not to really persuade them but show them clinical datas and diff trials etc..but will discover how nasty some drs can be and how some datin/datuk/drs' wife can take advantage of you..Its fun with flexible time and can earn what we sow in the customers..

I believe there're struggles in diff jobs but everyone surely will find their desire/dream job soon :))) Lets fight together!!!! :)

cant wait for BT gathering, I think everyone is quite near in kl/damansara/subang/klang, why not lets have our gathering around these area :) and another one in Oct as planned ? :)

Jynn said...

@Shee Wuen: yea, good to hear that u're enjoying your life...hahaha...i bet every1 does, just in diff way LOL..

October gathering sounds far but worth to wait rite, hehehe, October just a rough planning, we will, ofcz, make it as earlier as possible, mayb when francis and the others settle down their things, as you know, liang, peak mun, thng huei and some others jz backed from far far far far away...some din even reply to FB,

so, if time does not allow, we have to sacrifice them, or mayb like what u suggested, having one nearby PJ areas then another in Oct, will see how...more suggestions and supports needed.. ^^

~空~风~ said...

we need to have it asap!! May 21 is coming...

Jynn said...

mok, we are alive XD
