PSDC Compound Walkabout

So far, I have enrolled myself at PSDC for almost a year already. I think 3 more months, it's officially 1 year study at here. However, PSDC is a good development centre for all the technicians and engineers. Even those who are working at factory also come over and have the improvement study. Prove that PSDC is quite a good institution to learn the skills on electrical and electronics. 

This was snapped a few months ago and I just uploaded to write out something. They are my classmates and some of them are from Butterworth which they are hardworking to drive to the island everyday. My college mates so far are friendly and have the high aim! Now in my group even having 4 person gaining the TOP 10 award in PSDC. Cool! 

The environment for PSDC is good and compare to other colleges, it was not that bad. But honestly something have to be improved as well especially the WiFi signal in the college. Others are still okay and acceptable. I love the green environment and the cafeteria service there! They served the good food.

Anyway, I hope I can have my another 1.5 years with a lot of memories in PSDC. I am looking forward for more interesting subjects coming soon in the next semester. I will try my best to study well in this college and hope to have some achievement throughout here too! PSDC is the good institution in Penang! :D Posted by GenYong 26.01.2013

Farewell with Mr Ngiao

Mr Ngiao was my ETA lecturer in previous semester. I think he was the youngest lecturer I have ever met before in PSDC. Well, he was a good l his lecturer as what he taught to me was so useful and I appreciate the advices that given by him. Now Mr Ngiao is continue his PHD studies in Canada, so we did a small farewell with him before he left Malaysia.

We discussed in last minute and decided to have a simple lunch with Mr Ngiao. On that day we used to meet at Queensbay Mall and choose for suitable restaurant to have lunch. At last, we had chosen the Dave's Deli and had lunch at there for around 8 peoples.

This was my first time having Dave's Deli meal since it opened for many years. I was working at Chatime which located opposite Dave's Deli, but seriously I never tried before. Well, I heard many of my friends said that the food is nice and with the reasonable price. Yup, I have to agree with that and you may take a try if you haven't do so! :D

We did some photo shootings after our lunch. It was so fun to have chance having lunch with a lecturer. That day I was like acting like a boss belanja everyone for lunch but at last they return me the money also! HahaHa. I treated Mr Ngiao as he gonna to leave on that time, he seems to be really glad to see all of us present on that day and shared a lot of moments and stories with us. Thank you, sir!

After lunch, we did some window shopping as walked in a group LIKE A BOSS. Keep on chit chatting and share the happy memories with Mr Ngiao. We did say the goodbye to Mr Ngiao and that was the last goodbye before he went to Canada. :D

I was having some desserts with my friend and previous groupmates Ezra after the lunch. We went to Queens Food Market to taste for this fruit desserts. It taste nice and cost us for RM 5.00 for this bowl. It was nice and I forgot what's the name already but the stall is near to skating park. 

It was so random when Ezra trying on my camera. I was calculating money and expenses after the lunch. I was happy on that time because I got my August salaries from my boss on that day too. We did a lot of talking and discussions there! It was a meaningful day spent with my college mates. Thank you everyone! I hope we still have the next chance to hang out together. xD! So how was your hang out with college mates? Posted by GenYong 12.10.2012

UTAR-ians H2O Community Camp

UTAR H2O Community was having their own organized camp in previously. I was taking part on behalf as a task force for the event. I was having semester break on that time that's why my consumer club president invited me to participate on that event.

It was the early morning at Beach Street and since the state government had announced it will be the Car Free Zone on every Sunday from 7am until 5pm so the lively street turn to be no more car on that day. So all the citizens can come out to have fun with family like cycling, playing sports and many more.

#1 Those are the stuffs for our game station in the camp.

#2 My funny expression been captured by my friend John Tan. :D

We were supervising the game station of "Hamster Run" on that morning. The game was played in a group of participants which they have to use the newspaper provided to build up a kit like hamster kit in circle and everyone must be stepping and holding the paper to walk for 1km. It looks easy but when you do it, it was tough. Well, somehow when the game comes to the end we used to let it go for every group although it was not. xD

#3 Some of the participants met up their friends and had a chit chat there.

The same group as well and now they were playing jumping over for a few distance. Same thing, looks easy but seriously it's hard to play.

They played happily in a group and the team spirits were strong. Although it was not that smooth while playing the games, as they will try their best to complete up the mission. Good!

#4 It was CAR FREE Day so you can spot bicycles on the road there!

The sun getting brighter and hot so the organizer decided to end up the game and we then proceed to 1st Avenue for their closing ceremony. It was really hot under the sun and when we stepped in the mall it was like so cool. Nice :D

#5 Here come the random group photos from my camera. There were around 50 peoples joining this event!

#6 We went for pool playing while having the free time before the event ends.

#7 He is John Tan who is my groupmates and best friend too. He is nice and friendly responsible guy! 

#8 After the pool game, we bought a drink from BlackBall to chill ourselves - Passion3Q Green Tea.

Before we went to dinner at Harbour Place which located at Macallum Street, we did ourselves chilling at the seaside. We went to Jelutong Harbour Place and have a seat chit chat with each other. 

#9 Jack Heng and me, he is also a friendly guy who involved in a lot of events too.

#10 My indian friend, Kathiravan. We knew each other since primary school. He is the indian who can speak Chinese language fluently! 

#11 My good friend John Tan, knew him since I was in Form 1. He is a good and responsible guy! 

So we end up with the dinner and said goodbye to all the UTAR-ians. From this camp, I experienced on how to be a station game supervisor and also how to organize a community event. It was tough to have a good event like this so maybe I need more experiences in upcoming days. Thanks to all my friends who spent their time with me on that day and of course thanks to Consumer Club for inviting me to join this. Posted by GenYong 09.10.2012

Life in PSDC (1st Sem)

Penang Skill Development Centre, as known as PSDC in short form. It's my studying place now, no guessing it's in Penang of course, located at industrial area in Bayan Lepas. I enrolled myself to this school of engineering since April. I was here for 4 months and as well I have completed the 1st sem of studies here. What I can say for PSDC is I was glad to have the chance to study at here, met quite lot of new friends and met some friendly lecturers here!

They are my buddies in college too, from left Kah Poh, Swee Yinn and Chong Pin. This photo was taken after the meeting of student council on 5th July 2012. We purposely to dress up formally for this photo, sounds weird but it was fun!

He is Chong Pin a.k.a Ray Lai. A funny guy who talked a lot and share a lot of experiences with me. Say Hello! :D

He was my ETA (Electrical Technology A) lecturer Mr Ngiao. Mr Ngiao was a nice guy and he was so young and so professional in teaching electronics. Well, he was good and friendly with all of us. I wish him all the best as he is going to continue his further PHD studies in Canada soon!

He is Mr Heng, my English lecturer. He was a nice guy and I can say that he is the best lecturer I have met before in my college life. He is good and spoke a classical fluent English! He is a kind tutor and really good to everyone of us. He gave me a lot of advice and from Mr Heng I learnt a lot of things and gain a lot of experiences. Because of Mr Heng, my English is upgrading! Thank you sir!

Before the Sem 1 ends, we have captured quite a number of group photos with our lecturer. I am from Group 3 in Batch 21 at PSDC. I am glad to know all my groupmates there and they are awesome! As I hope our friendship can be last long and together we fight in PSDC! :D Posted by GenYong 10.09.2012
