“Read, and you will be well read.”- No Idea

I was an Engineering Student

I’m not actually proud of my scroll. After all, I barely scrape through my courses. With some twisting and turning, I made my mark on that piece of paper.

I was cleaning my pile of stash. Mainly consist of unused papers, lessons, exam result, bills,.. until I came across my engineering notes, dated 13 Sep 2003.

My notes

(Everything in this post is my hand writing)

My Engineering NotesMy Engineering NotesMy Engineering NotesMy Engineering NotesMy Engineering Notes

I questioned myself, what was the reason I quit engineering? I don’t hate it, in fact, I love technicalities.

Was it the pay? I don’t think I got any higher now.

Was it the misunderstanding? Most of the time, I did it my way. I’ll agree to everything in meetings, but do it differently (improvised of course).

Was it dad? I can pretty much handle the workload, although I go back at 1o pm sometimes 2 am and unappreciated.

To be honest, I forgot.

It’s been 6 years since I last devised a formulae. I used to think I was so smart when I found a new law (or rule), I named it Eddie’s Law. A few weeks later, we studied that in class. WTH  :arrow:

I’m keeping these notes in a time capsule along with my little-black-book, photos of her and a mobile phone. I couldn’t possibly throw everything away. It’s anchored to me and it’s my past, I shouldn’t run away.

I hope to find the time capsule in another 5 years. By that time, I hope I don’t look back and regretted my actions, yesterday, today and tomorrow.

ps: My notes scheme, 4 column on an A4 paper, that makes it 8 sides. 2 chapter, 1 piece of paper. 1 semester, 10 chapters and 6 classes. Total, 240 columns on 30 A4 papers for 60 chapters in 1 semester. Do you follow me?

pss: In short, I save papers and trees.

psss: I wish I had a scanner. I could show you how neat it is   :roll:

pssss: Ninie, emo enough for you? 80% rule  :razz:

ho3. dulu aku pernah masuk itm shah alam (masa tu itm) dan terpaksa (bapak aku suruh) ambil bidang engneering in power. tapi aku surrender sbb takleh bawak hu3.

aku sempat beralih bidang ke bidang yg aku minati setelah meminta keizinan dari org tua aku iaitu sci comp (programming). he3.

pening gak tengok notes camtu. hu3. senang lagi buat flow chart utk programming.

NH:
Tulisan kau cantik giler.

Aku pun buat notes dulu, camtu. Tapi, 3 column atas A4 paper, 6 sides semuanya. Tapi bukan subjek kira2 la, utk subjek baca2 mcm law, management dan accounting theory.

Aku sebenarnya konon2 dulu tak suka subjek accounts la.. sbb tak pernah buat notes utk accounts. Errr.. accounts mana ada nota.. semua nombor2 je…

Your handwriting very pretty and neat :up: 8 sides one paper? Kecik giler your handwriting. My notes on A4 paper - 2 columns, 4 sides. :grin: Pass the time capsule to me, I help bury it somewhere deep in jungle here in Sarawak. :arrow: Or when we construct a dam, I dig a hole and put it below the dam :P

I wanted to be a Marine Biologist or a Dentist … but I ended up studying Business Computing instead - up to Diploma level only because I seriously have no head for programming… and now I’m working as an office slave, a secretary.. :sad: how in the world did I manage to steer my life so far away from my original goal? :cry:

marine biologist? wahh.. ko leh jadi mcm nurul ain nurul syuhada (pengacara Nona & M3). Hot siot minah tu. Tp tinggi lampai.

Tinggi lampai tak ok ke? hehehe bestlah tinggi lampai, looks very nice in jeans :XO:

Buka bisnes sendiri aku nak juga… tapi modal belum cukup.. actually earlier this year, I almost did with a partner for a cafe.. but that partner just couldn’t make up her mind about the location nor the concept of the cafe.. last² tak jadi, she is joining her father’s new advertising company instead.. so aku kena kumpul duit lagi, so that I can start a biz on my own.. :D cannot work for others for the rest of my life… tak pandai kaya², tak kaya, how to buy a 4WD and a sporty BMW? :grin: (Tingginya angan² mel ni)

Electrical Engineering, eh?

Current Engineering student here (Mechatronics). Too bad I don’t take down notes, at all. My handwriting is horrible anyway. I prefer to rely on books.

Actually it’s quite natural for engineering graduates to go into other fields though. The problem solving and analytical skills we gain from our education can be applied in many other fields.
