Mysore, Karnataka

Mysore which is a district located in the state of Karnataka is known for its historical background. It is well known for its palace which was once home to the king of Mysore. Took a one day tour package there with my cousin.

the first temple visited. Near Tippu King's palace..  he was killed by the British

was too scared of trying to ride on a horse (it was cheap but the fearrrr)

Life In Bangalore

Internship in India has been one of the best memories and not even a single regrets for taking this decision. People I come across have been very nice and friendly. very helpful. I owe them a lot! Never expected such warm welcome.

I would say Biocon is a very employee friendly company. They provide free lunch (food is good) and transport to and fro every morning and evening. Working environment is good too! Like my supervisor the most :).

First three weeks travelled by cab provided by company. Journey takes 1 hour in the morning (cause less traffic) and one and a half hours after work (moreeee traffic). Shifted to Woodstock Ambience on the 4th week and it is super good here.. it takes merely half an hour now. Cab and accommodation provided by company.

Biocon Campus.. there are 3 separate places. Biocon Park and Biocon House..

van-mates for 3 weeks.. with anita and archana

room service everyday. i mess up my room and to find it tidy when i come back. :P

she completed her 6 months internship here and left :(

farewell to deepak and arshata. It has been great to know Deepak, someone to share to do silly things together.

food is one thing which makes me so happy. vegetarian food everywhere. food-heaven! some of the food i tried. - something KFC/MCD dont have back in Msia.

vege roll

not sure if they have this in KFC Msia.

am addicted to this. cold chocolate

more like secret recipe cake only.

spicy paneer burger

jeng2.

this movie was just too good

some of the Malaysian kind of food u can get here..

the cafe in hotel

outing with office-mates

food is never a problem here. This is going to be one of the best memories of my life. Internship+travelling & exploring is definitely my choice.

Grab the opportunity when it strikes.

The Climax

It has been a longggg week, a very tiring one. After almost a week (not including the preliminary reports!) of sleepless nights and lifeless days (imagine waking up in the middle of your sleep knowing you have piles of work to be completed on a deadline), IP was successfully submitted. Presentation will follow on next Wednesday. The day which will determine if your hard work is worth it!! The days lecturers are energetic enough to 'shoot' you at every space and weaknesses you show.  Hope everything goes well. I cant imagine having anything done wrongly after all these sacrifices. That day we went all night completing the remaining parts and getting it printed. After consuming three different types of coffee, I managed to! haha. the impact is now, the withdrawal symptoms :( By noon, it was a relieve to have it submitted. Had class in the afternoon but guess what, i fell asleep without even realising. haih.  The first class I missed for this sem!! hahaha!! Am grateful for the amazing group mates I have, those who went to the maximum limit of getting this report submitted perfectly, at least to our satisfaction. Thank you so much!

Choices do give you the preference in life, but they do make your life simply hard. Being someone who could hardly decide when given two almost similar choices, I was in deep confusion. Was offered CCM Pharmaceuticals in Bangi. That was a day before i decided to sign Henkel's agreement letter. After much decision and weighing the pro and cons, I finally decided! No turning back, no regrets.

Finale of Open Ended Lab.Thank God no more!! hahaha

Before I jump on the bed, before I call it a day, before i switch off the light (mind the singular, I sleep with one light on) before I enter my dreamland, before I close my eyes, before I wake up the next day from the deep sleep by the loud alarms, before i face the dilemma of motivating myself to get up from the bed, before my brain starts functioning on the piles of work to be done the next day,.... I shall update about today. A quite interesting day and ended up with increasing stress hormones. We had our OEL presentation. First group to present, went good but judges commented that we had no graph/data in our poster. Well, what do you expect from a poster I did in two hours the day before.! haha!! A lil bit of disappointment knowing it could have been better (when lecturers said our idea was interesting), no regrets though. Went for a meeting with Pejabat Hubungan Industri Ukm and got to know that I was shortlisted for Biocon second phase selection. Interesting. Havent decided. Im the worst person when it comes to decision making. Time shall decide. Grateful to have more than one choice. Whatever is the outcome, I believe it is the best it could have been. 

the so called first sem IP groupmates. hahahahha

the real groupmates - erna and fatin

my Tadika-ish poster.i always believed in attractive poster.muahahha)

so, guess thats all for today. A subject completely done for this semester - LAB. as the final submission date for IP is approaching, there goes the days where sleep and 'life' shall be sacrificed. Goodnyte. God bless!!

Favourite phrase for the day - I might be an Indian by born, I grew up as a Malaysian.

Chilling Waterfall

It was Labour's Day and instead of having the much needed rest, we(15 of us) headed to a waterfall which took us two hours. Little did we realise that it is only open on weekends.. Nah, not too hard to climb over the locked gate. We started our hike through the watery  trail. Something which I did not expect- had to cross rivers! not an easy task judging the water velocity and the base had many slippery rocks. Such a pain to the feet if you get on the sharp ones!

Had to go through this like 4 times. This is how the bag contents get wet. Lucky enough to have one hp working and another one not. Looks challenging enough? It is for someone not fit like me.. hahah!!  soo, after going through this 4 times, an estimate of one hour, we reached the destination - such a relief to know I can finally sit and rest. fuh..

wait, eat first, need energy to get soaked.. water was sooo cold!!! many of us shivered!

Next, time to get soaked. after about an hour plus, we packed back.

All the girls. Picture scaled to small size since my hair looks bad. hahaa.

This guy was too lazy to get out of the car. hahahahahaha

Guess all the pics I have in my camera.. It was quite risky to walk with a camera in my hand. Got slightly soaked but it is still functioning. hahah!!


Stopped for dinner near Bangi and reached back hostel at about 10 pm. A very tiring but had much fun.. A day to remember.

Nice group of people to be with. :)

Spices of life

Feeling a bit relaxed. Have no idea how last week past. Relieved, not very satisfied  but feeling good!!. Spent the whole weekends keeping the stress aside, now back to week 11 of semester 6 with low energy level. Watched Iron Man 3  and it was good!! thehee!!

A month to struggle before exams and internship (which is a still a question mark). keeping fingers crossed.. But I know whichever it is from the two (you know what), I feel very blessed to be selected.   Cnt wait to go through another 3 days before I pack my bigggy luggage BACK HOME! life has been hard without water.. Guess I have a solid reason to bring back a stack of clothes. hahhaa... Life is blessed with great people and who adds on spices to my life, very blessed to have them around. I may not be good in saying thank you, but deep down I am always finding a way to help you in another way. 

Henkel shall it be..

Since it is now official, jeng jeng jeng... my internship shall be with Henkel!! After months of waiting, finally it is confirmed, so yeah, no more worries.. Offer letter came today :)

excited? yes! to start a new experience.. enough with the excitement, it  is time to struggle the challenging week ahead. Two midsems, quiz, presentation, GTH Competition, IP!! Will be a happy person after i survive next week.. time to work hard.. when life gives many reasons to break down, take it as a challenge.

 another 2 months to wrap up third year and I want it to end with a smile. will try to be better than last sem.. feedback control remember? nah, not feedforward, its too complicated so i choose to be a feedback and its working!!! :))
