Not always what it seems...

Have you ever been caught red handed doing something?

But hey! Were you really doing what people thought you were doing?


What people might perceive...

If they were to see this...


#1 That's me..trying to steal a car?! Or was i?

Lets have a closer look.. hee hee


#2 Wah! Definitely! Fast fast report police!

But hold on a second..


#3 That's clement! What's he holding?!

The real story...

It was one of the Saturdays when I had to fetch my member Hui Fen for guitar class in CHEC and then I saw Clement.

Conversation:

T: Eh, what you doing, bro? Something wrong?
C: Ya lar..I left my car keys in my car.
T: Oh no..don't have spare? so what are you doing now? (looking at Clement using a ruler, fitting it between the window and car door.
C: Just try try la..who knows can open..
T: Let me try and help..give me the ruler..

few seconds later...

T: eh, cannot lar..

Both Clement and I went into Attributes...

T: Got paper clip arh? Maybe can reach for the hook in your keyhole then can open leh?
C: Oh..got got..here. You know how to open using a paper clip?
T: I read it from http://www.howstuffworks.com before...
C: swt... -_-;;

3 minutes later...

T: Eh..paperclip broke.
C: Hold on..let me try to call my car mechanic guy..

5 minutes later...

C: Oh..he said we need a hard rod of some sort.
T: *searched around Attributes and CHEC......found a chopstick!*

I gave it a try first and we actually saw the lock knob moving..we both got excited and Clement shouted.. "Pusssssssshhh..PUSHHH!!"

T: Eh..you think I am giving birth ah?
C: Let me try let me try..
T: Ok...my turn to say ..PUSHHHHH!!

After 5 minutes..


IT WAS UNLOCKED!

#4 Our weapon of choice..a random chopstick found in CHEC!


Lesson to be learnt..

1) Never be too quick to judge. Things are not always what it seems. Hee hee.
2) Always make yourself available to help others whenever possible...
3) Don't worry, do something!
4) Never underestimate the ability of a random chopstick from CHEC. :D

That's all, folks!

Happy reading! =)

Engineer....WHY?!
5 comments



Heya guys!

Yes, Tim's updating his blog.

* thunderstorm..lightning..cats purring at each other...ok, that was random. So is me updating my blog. HA HA! *

New sem is here, first week is gone, which means 12 more weeks before exams! 10 more weeks for thesis! WAH! FINAL SEM! WOO HOO!

Ok, ok..back to the post.

I am sure you guys are probably wondering (or not) what made Timo have the sudden urge to blog...what could be so inspiring?!

Boys and girls, here goes.



4 years of engineering. 8 (this sem included) torturing semesters packed with equations, figures, theories, meeting deadlines, meeting extended deadlines, meeting extended extended deadlines, enduring the stress of refreshing the result's page every end of a sem, staying in the wee hours in MCDs to study...and now, they finally tell this to us!

Alright, alright. I will start this time...really!


I am taking this subject called Professional Practice. It is supposed to prepare us for the working world we will all soon embark - woo hoo, lets join the workforce and make money!


But it is one of the lectures which you would ask yourself, Engineer....WHY?! (hence the title of this post)




#1 This is one of the lecture slides which states who is an engineer(if it's too small for you to see).
We engineers ARE NOT scientist. We are not that privileged.



Seriously, when this happens...



#2 They don't call it an Engineering Breakthrough but rather it's a Scientific Breakthrough. It just has a nicer ring to it. Yes, it isn't fair. I know. T_T. Scientist 1 - Engineer 0.





And when one sees this..



#3 They wouldn't go, "Hey! That's a real neat engineering structure!" They'd probably say, "Wow! Awesome architectural work!" Architect 1 - Engineer 0.




But when something like that happens...




#4 Architectural Disaster? Scientific Disaster? NO! It's Engineering Disaster! What?! When got trouble only blame the engineers, la?




During the lecture, we were also told that the profession of an engineer isn't as lucrative and as glamorous as other professional jobs like doctors and lawyers.

I mean seriously. Do you see an engineer becoming a hero in your latest TV series?

Doctors. You have Grey's Anatomy, House
Lawyers. The Practice, Boston Legal

Where got engineer as heroes wan? Tell me, where got, where got!?

Okay-lar, I am sure you are thinking... PRISON BREAK!




Yes, yes. Michael Scofield is a structural engineer. And a really good one. He, after all helped to design the Fox River prison. Hmm, escaping from a prison which you designed. No big deal, right? But wait! He also managed to escape Sona Federal Prison in season 3! Hip hip hooray for engineers! Hmm, so the best achievement an engineer in TV is to escape from prisons? Come to think of it, Michael Scofield ain't that brilliant after all. Plan A never really worked for him. He always had to resort to Plan B,C and sometimes D. Many improvisations were done, if you hadn't notice.

Nonetheless, it is a great show, one I would definitely watch from start till the end. I mean, an engineer, a convict, helping his brother escape from prison, always on the run, wanted by the authorities. Who can ask for more?


Engineers. You sure you want to be one?


Apart from that, all new engineers in Malaysia have to apply(before employment or before you start working) to be registered in Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). How cool is that! People would then know you as a certified engineer! If you want to go even further, you can apply to be a Professional Engineer (PE) and with that you will get an extra title in front of your name.



Picture this written on your business card.
Ir. Timothy Chan Ken Ee.


Doctors can get Dr., so we get Ir. la. Must not lose out!

So what are the benefits you'd get becoming a PE? You will get to approve drafts, drawings and plans! Yeap! You will be in control whether or not a work can proceed any further! You will get to put your signature on a proposal! Wait a minute...that also means you will be the person everyone would hunt down should there be any problems! Nope, they won't go to the architects, they won't go to the governments! Because you, the engineer, approved the project!

Engineers. You sure you want to be one? Hee hee.


On the lighter note, (none of the contents above, should be taken too seriously, btw) a fresh engineer's pay is on a rise. Towards the end of the lecture, we were shown the average pay for established engineers and we were relatively pleased with the amount. Ah, so it's all about the moo-lah in the end?

Engineers. Are you really REALLY sure you want to be one? Hee hee.

Ok-la. To be really honest.. it is really not too bad. Engineers. Job security is there. It is good enough a reason to be one, right? :)

What say you?

I Puma, Do You?

For those who know me well enough, I have a shoe fetish. Yes, that's right. I believe guys can have a thing for shoes too. Most of us would probably have a "one-shoe-do-it-all-shoe" but not for me. :)

I believe we should a variety in life. Food, watches, shirts and shoes! Why not shoes!? Shoes for casual, formal occasion, sports, futsal, tennis..how can anyone have a "one-shoe-do-it-all-shoe?"

Adidas has been the brand(when it comes to shoes) I go for many years now. Don't get me wrong, I am and always will be a fan of the famous three stripes.

Again, it comes back to the issue of variety. If we can have different pairs of shoes for different occasion, why not a different brand?

Introducing my very first PUMA.





Ain't he handsome?

Yo yo. Allow me to have a lil' shout out here. D to the I to the K to the S to the H to the A. I am sorry to say that due to the lack of monetary funding, I did not manage to get you a physical gift this year. =( But better still, I am going to dedicate this post to you! Something that's better than a real gift...this one you can access at anytime! (unless blogspot decides to call it quits lah). We've known each other for 3 years and 20 days now...(agak-agak lah, but I give it a plus minus of 10-20 days..hee :D) and during this duration we have been through a lot together. The time we spent together, the things we did and the memories we made, I will never forget. Oh man, how ghey can an introduction be?! Anyhoot,



To the real deal...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIKSHA!

* I know at times you may feel tiny or smaller than usual...*


*There may have been times when you considered a face-lift because of your insecurity...*







*You may have done things which you were really proud of..*

* and also to the times when you know you really wanted it...HAHA! *





* Together, we been to places (actually only you) where we never thought we could...*

E-X-A-M-S, OVER!
5 comments


It has already been a week since I sat for my last paper for this semester. A week and 3 days to be exact. My schedule has been hectic ever since and time really waited for no one as I felt it was just yesterday I sat for my Statistics paper. Over(well, at least for the next 3 months) are the days of overdosed intake of coffee, burning midnight oil till 4 in the morning, MCDs delivery to Monash Sunway foyer, late night "mamaks" after studying, and joking sessions in between question 1(a) and 1(b).


I don't know about you guys, but studying alone has never been my thing since I entered college. At some point, it is really not productive at all but it beats studying alone at home because..erm..there won't be any studying at all! Come on, Astro, internet, bed, bed ,bed, bed, BED! How to study, ryte?!



* The group that studied in Part Time Lecturer's room*

*Standing from Left: Me, Devan, Aaron, Quinn(actually she came to kacau only,habis-ed her paper already), Teoh Jye*

*Sitting from Left: Prabu, Redza*




* Exam's diet. MCDs delivery. Waste time only if drive out and eat! Got delivery, still can study while waiting for our food to come! Man, we are freaks.*



* So jakun, I didn't know MCDs had such cool drinks holder. *






*Devan:Give me the calculator, I'll do your taxes!* Haha! Joke from Russell Peters *



*Prabu's tattoo. Forgotten what it means but I wish I could have one which says S-T-R-E-S-S. Oh yeah, Prabu does the best voice impersonation of Doraemon and Donald Duck!*

New semester begins in another 2 weeks. Yay! Gonna be a little weird..studying group will shrink (got people deferring ma). Oh well, at least the diet will stay the same! Hee :D
