Just came back to skudai by bus. Took the 8.30pm bus from Teluk Intan and reached here around 3am. Tiring.. well let’s talk about my grandpa’s funeral then. I went back on Sunday night and reached Teluk Intan around 5am in the morning. On Monday morning, my father, uncles, aunties and I went to the hospital to bring my grandpa back home. His condition was deteriorating back then as he was admitted into the ICU since the 5th day of CNY. Doctor asked my father and uncles to make decision whether to let him go peacefully or continue the medications. They decided to let him go peacefully. And so we were at the hospital waiting for the documentations while I went in to see my grandpa. I called him but he never responsed. It was really sad to see him suffering with all the breathing tubes and the medications tubes on his hands. His hands were swollen that time. After my father signed all the documents, we waited for the ambulance to fetch my grandpa home. But there was no driver to drive the ambulance that time as they claimed that the drivers were busy on outstation cases. My 3rd uncle was frustrated that time and he went down to the staff’s office to find the driver and gave him some money to ask him drive the ambulance asap. Sarcastically, the driver immediately called the ICU to inform them that the ambulance is ready. I was still in the ICU beside my grandpa when the nurse informed me about they are ready to bring my grandpa to the ambulance. That’s why I felt strange because they told me the driver was unavailable 5 minutes ago until I found out about what my uncle did. These people, they won’t do things fast unless you give them money.
Back home, grandpa was placed on his bed in the hall. All of my relatives and I gathered around him. He was still breathing then and many of us cried. I was praying to God to let him go as fast as possible because I don’t want him to suffer anymore. My eyes were with tears looking at my grandpa. He took his last breathe and passed away at 12pm. In Chinese sayings, its better for one to pass away at home with his children and grandchildren around him. Everyone was relieved that my grandpa passed away peacefully with all of us around him at that moment. We did the whole funeral in Buddhist way. After my grandpa passed away, we all sit around the bed and started saying the prayers, “阿弥陀佛”. All of us say the prayers for 12hours straight without stopping until 12am and grandpa was put into the coffin. After that we took rounds to stay overnight to ‘guard’ him.
The next day, we all took rounds to say the prayers again. Relatives came over to pay condolences. At night, the buddhist society’s members came over to say the prayers. It took us around 3 hours to finish it. And then, we took rounds to stay overnight again.
Wednesday morning, the buddhist society members came early in the morning to say the prayers again as we will bury my grandpa after that. In Chinese way, all of us have to walk and send my grandpa to the bury site. Because the place was quite far away, we walked for a short journey and all of us took on a rented bus after that to the bury site. The place is up on the hills half way before Bidor. We had some praying ceremony there and then my grandpa was buried. Went home and helped cleaning the house. I only come back here today as I was quite tired and need to help my family to clean the house and settle everything.
Relatives who came over to pay condolences gave a large sum of “帛金”. Its the donations for the family for the funeral. My father said that we cannot use the money for ourselves so we donated it for the charity on my grandfather’s name. We donated a large sum of money to the chinese schools and some charity society. Rest in peace grandpa~

I’ve been to a microcontroller workshop for the past 2 days. Starting from 9am til 5pm yesterday and today. Basically its degree++ short course held by the University for the students to study some extra subjects in order to help us to get jobs when we graduated as we have more skills in more fields.. haha.. So this is what I did in the 2 days short course.

This is the basic PCB board design with the PIC microcontroller. We have to design the patterns for the LED lights to blink on.

Another view on top. This is just the basic of understanding the programming and also designing the circuit thingy.

This is more complicated. My partner and I done this today. The board is now connected to a Stepper Motor where we have to program it to run the motor. I’m quite fast at setting up the circuit while my partner programmed it. So ended up we were the first team to finish this task.. lol..

Its me and the cute robot beside me. This is a dancing robot where it’ll dance following the rhythem of the songs. I uploaded a video to youtube which I took with my phone. The video quality really… errr.. sucks I think. My phone can’t really take videos nicely after all.
Here’s the link! That’s our instructor who constructed us in the course for this 2 days course. He’s quite expert in microcontroller as he lead the UTM team to win the ROBOCON competitions for 3 years in a row.. haha..ok. I need to go back to my hometown tonight. My grandpa can’t make it already so have to go back asap. Bye all~

This few days is purely boring for me. Everyday just go to classes and come back to online and play games with my housemates. Nothing much happened lately, just pure boring.. I’m really happy with the exams days passed. Phew! But its gona be exams again a few weeks later. Argh~

Holy shit! Why is that bird here? Ok.. that’s the most annoying bird of all. It thinks that he’s the king of the world, always drop by at the top of the telephone line ‘tiang’ there. Why is it annoying then? It keeps on “singing it’s song” whenever it’s on top of that thing. And the most annoying thing is that it only stop by and “sing” whenever I’m sleeping in the morning or even in the afternoon! Argh.. if I ever had a gun or something I’m gona shoot it down!

Damn birdie.. know how to post somemore… The “tiang” is just beside my window which is beside my bed.. that’s why its so noisy.. Ok I know I’m freakin bored of blogging something like this… lol
And so.. when you’re damn bored, you tend to do something stupid. That’s when I talk to the so called god, when I read the blog of louyau.. I’m trying to make something funny here as the so called “god” is just a bot which I don’t know who created it and why. This is part of the conversations..
Me:
hi god
God:
Hello there. What is your name?
Me:
menghua
God:
I am always glad to make new friends, menghua.
Me:
me too
God:
I’m glad we agree, menghua.
Me:
So what are you doing here?
God:
That’s alright. I am chatting with people online. What are you doing?
Me:
chatting wit u now
God:
Right now? I like to chat with new people.
Me:
ic
God:
I am glad you understand it.
Me:
you’re a fucker
God:
Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Am I a fucker? Of course I am.
Me:
why are you a fucker
God:
Myself programmed me for it.
Me:
you programmed yourself as a fucker?
God:
Myself programmed me for it.
Me:
can you give me something?
God:
That’s good information: menghua said I programmed yourself as a fucker.
God:
Why do you want it?.
Me:
i want lots of money
God:
Why do you want it?
Me:
I want to buy a lot of things
God:
How much do you want to pay for it?
Me:
1 million
God:
One what?
Me:
one million dollars
God:
Wow, that is cheap.
Me:
so can you give me one million dollars?
God:
Wow, that is cheap.
Me:
can you give me the money?
God:
Why do you want it?.
Me:
i want one million dollars
God:
Why do you want it?.
Me:
i’ve told you already
God:
Why do you want it?.
Me:
oh crap.. go to hell!
God:
Yippee! Your criticism is noted, menghua. What makes you so angry?
Me:
because you can’t understand a single thing! you stupid bot!
God:
Good reason. Quite the contrary. I understand very well. I will remember you said that when robots take over the World.
Me:
as if you can take over the world! go to hell! bye
God:
You tone of voice is sarcastic. What makes you so angry? TTYL, menghua.
Me:
fuck off!
God:
Can’t you be more polite?
Me:
zzz bye
God:
See you later. ” Can’t you be more polite? “? zzz?
Me:
argh!!!
You can try to talk to the god here.. Note that I’m not trying to be impolite to the real unreachable god.. just to the stupid bot. Its quite creepy that bot can talk to people in our own language. I wonder if there’s someday that bots can takeover the world? OMG.. reminds me of Matrix.. lol…

Most of my housemates are from the mechanical faculty where they will start their practical training starting coming Monday. So all of them going back their hometown today to prepare for it. Now my house only left me, Phin Shin (science faculty) and wei yik which got his practical training in Pontian. My housemate next door, Han Wei haven’t go back yet today so we went to SDS, a bakery shop for our dinner.

A tank card on the table..
He recommended to eat over there as its his last day over here for another 6months. He ordered a Yang Chou Fried Rice while I ordered a Thai Sour Fish Rice.. When his fried rice served, both of us just can’t stop laughing. The rice was so little that he could finish it in 5 spoonfuls.. lol.. That plate costed him RM5.90 which is quite expensive if compare to the stalls in Tmn U here.. haha.. my food is still acceptable as its enough for me to stay full until midnight.

In the end, he can’t stop the hunger and he ordered another plate of Mushroom Cheese Bread. At the cost of only RM3.50 this plate is MUCH more than that fried rice! lol..
I’ll be really bored starting from tomorrow with everyone leaving the house already. Just hope I won’t be alone having my lunch and dinner la.. haiz.. Should back to my studies now.. having the VLSI exam tomorrow afternoon at 2pm. Don’t ask me why there’s exam even on Sunday because I myself can’t really answer it.. haha..

Came back from Melaka today in the morning. Yesterday I travel all the way to KL to meet my gf because she was leaving to Switzerland on midnight plane. So I drove to Subang to her relative’s house.

Wah.. Mazda MX5 wor.. Took this photo while I’m bored of driving.. lol
Reached her relative’s house around 11am. I was a bit late because I got lost due to the road changed a bit. 3 bridge suddenly pop out of nowhere when I got to Subang area there.. So after having breakfast at her relative’s house, we went to Sg Wang. After that we went to Teppanyaki for lunch.. disaster!

I never went to a Teppanyaki restaurant which is so suck man! Look at the cooking place in front of us. I really can’t stand it. The place is so dirty and the floor.. argh.. so oily all around and the tiles all drop off. The worker saw I took the photo here and quickly sweep off the rubbish on the floor. lol.. What’s wrong with the management here?

Mamak in my hometown is way better than this place. The plate they gave us to dine with is dirty and yellow in color. I knew my gf can’t stand it so I exchanged my cleaner plate with hers. The more I blog about it the more I can’t stand it. Just don’t ever go there again or you’ll be damn disappointed and frustrated~!
Spent the afternoon walking around Lowyat then as Shin wana meet her friend there. After that we went back to Subang for her to take a bath. Went to BU to find her friend and then we were off to KLIA.. the airport.

A sight in KLIA..
We had our dinner there at McD while waiting for her family to reach. Her friends came over too so all chit chatting around.

11pm… time for her to leave already. Only took this photo of both of us there before she leave. So cham see her crying all the way. I cried too while sending her off into the gates. Gona miss her a lot..
After that I drove to Melaka to stay overnight at my friend’s place. Did nothing there as I was exhausted.

Clear blue sky.. So drove back to Skudai again and now stucked with my studies for the coming exams. Wish me luck!
