The Final days of the 1st semester

Yesterday was the most hectic yet suffering day I've had in this week. Although it was the last day of my Lectures and classes(finishing semester soon :D). Here's how it goes :

I got up in the morning 7.00am and walked around dazed abit, sat on the sofa closed my eyes. Woke up again, walked around for awhile, and sat down again to close my eyes(i seriously don't know why I did that). After that I took my bath, checked my bag and transferred some of the simpson's episodes into my pen drive(yeah...it seems every friday i have this looong 4 hour break... >.>) and went down to the car. As i arrived at the LRT station, I could feel the sickness coming down on me. But I still went on into the LRT towards Asia Jaya Station. So, thinking of the coming Study break which is next week i dozed off again in the LRT. Luckily i woke up at just at the right time where the train reached Asia Jaya station(i have the habit of missing the station). Got down, and I saw the UTAR bus, but no Rapid KL bus. Bah!...i don't have any UTAR bus tix....thus i went and got cab which cost me RM3 >.< .

So, i reached the Uni around 9.50, which was just right before the classes started. Phew...if you haven't notice, i do have a record for being the one who comes late to Uni the most...heheh. Thus, I went down to B1 and went to greet my friends and asked if they got thier exam slips. And again, i went up to the 1st floor to get it...when i could've just gone straight there, i had to travel all the way to the lowest floor. >.> . So took my exam slip, got a UTAR bill from my class rep and the classes started. The lecturer just asked us if we needed to ask any questions, and then we had a briefing. But the person who was supposed to brief us was busy, and thus we didn't get any briefing for the exam but instead we got a soft skill briefing. I guess the Malaysian motto "Malaysia boleh!" is always applied everywhere. Why i say so? because only Malaysian's can do the Fong Fei Kei technique.

Class ended and some of my "smart" friends(and panda's) went home because they took an earlier lecture class which was the day before yesterday. And thus, i went with some of my friends to the usual hang out spot. UTAR looks very lonely at these times as the semester comes to an end where everyone don't care about thier attendance anymore. So, me and my friends had the place to ourselves and they placed thier Notebooks there and started to surf the net and play games(while we should have been studying) or watching hillarious banned or unpublished advertistements. A group of us(including me) went out to eat during that time. Because we were sick of the canteen food, we went to the mamak nearby. I say once, and say again, I shall never ever take their nasi campur. The nasi campur alone came up to around RM7, it also did not fill me up as i had expected(when you're sick you tend to get even more hungrier than normal) and thus my bill came up to RM8.40. RM7 for the nasi campur, RM1.20 for the limau ais and RM0.20 for water >.> . Oh well...i guess economy is so bad that people now sell water at RM0.20 >.> .

After that we went back to the Uni to do some reading, while i was watching Simpsons. I can't help it but i just can't study at the Uni. Although makes me feel left out since there were other people reading and studying. After 4 episodes of simpsons, me and my frens who were there saw and heard people celebrating and singing the birthday song. Looks like it was the guy whom my fren calls "Sun Wukong" , just because he looks like a monkey...hahaha. And after walking towards him to wish him happy birthday i went outside(the place where i am is located near a freezing room and the door leading outside) and sat down, warming up myself. To my surprise, there below the staircase was two people. A girl sitting down crying and a guy consoling her. I just kept my silence while i warm myself up abit. After 30mins passed, they were already starting to make out there. Hmm....what better place to make out than just below the stairs on the Tar'ed floor with cars to block any passerby's view. They made out quite long and I just watched the "free show". I guess while i warm my self as it was extremely cold inside the B2 floor, they down there at the staircase were also "warming up" themselves.

Hahahah...i guess i would never find out why people like to do it at these kind of places. Can't you do it in ur car? or maybe a more secured area like ur house?.....After all the stuff happened, the english lecture started and we received our journals back, and was wished by our lecturer a good luck for the upcoming exams. When i headed outside, It was already raining heavily. Me and 3 of my other frens then waited for the bus(we usually walk to the LRT station as it is only a 15min walk from the Uni to there). So, I waited and asked a few unimportant questions to a friend. After all the "Lap sap" talk the bus came and we took it. As it reached the LRT station, we got off and to our surprise, the blardy hell LRT is malfunctioning due to the heavy rain and because of that it took me 3 hours before i reached home. It looks like a flash flood hit Masjid Jamek and Sri Rampai LRT station. Me and my frens took the bus as soon as the LRT air conditioning stopped functioning. As to my past experiences, it is wise never to sit(or stand) in a train where it is crowded and the air cond has malfunctioned.

I guess each time we experience something bad, we learn something new(That is if being stuck in the LRT station is a good enough experience >.>)

PS : Good luck to all my friends who are taking their exams soon enough. And to those taking their results, may you not be slaughtered by your parents :D

Dunhill Shirt = 1000, Dunhill Tie = 500, Slacks = 100, Maths test and Account presentation = Priceless

As people know, now is considered the 'stressful' month, or also the 'Pesta Hantu Lapar'. Well, because of the stressful month most UTAR'ian students are facing, most of them are 'puppying' in the corner to relieve stress whilst others stare infront of the Notebook to play games or study.

Today of course was not unusual, as I had maths test and accounts presentation. Well, I think i flunk my maths. But who cares about marks, what we care is how she always say zero and inflextion. C'mon, is it that hard to pronounce Zero? Everytime during her lecture, she will pronounce zero as 'Chee-ro'(chicken meat in mandrin) and also says Inflextion as 'Inflation'. I was of course laughing, but i tried to hold back even though it was DAMN funny. Just imagine she shows you the point of inflextion but says it as inflation. After maths, there was the Computer Studies class. During this time, went to the back to keep the time on how long the presenter had presented. And it seems the 'score-whore' already calmed down from the last battle and it seems he knows how to play o2jam. Thus he was sitting at the back playing o2mania whilts the others amaze at his skillz. Since it was quite long, and i was hungry, i too asked if i could try play one song and was allowed. After showing my skillz(even though wid a sucky keyboard) I was already branded 'PRO'. hmm...shouldn't have played after all. After playing, i continued to think about the presentation which was upcoming. With all the possibilities that wouldn't end, i thought our presentation would fail.

After much waiting, the accounts class started. Just before it started, i asked my fren(zhean hwa) to quickly get a PC up stairs. Why?...of course...our famous technique, ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE--LAST MINUTE WORK!! And of course it worked, we manage to print our stuff and sent in the assignment slides. After done with that, patiently we waited for our turn to present. During the waiting period, the lecturer asked the currently presenting group to give an example of Prudence/Conservatism. Thus, my itchy hand had to just raise up and i gave a slightly confusing example, but was comprehended by the lecturer and thus i got an additional mark. And then our turn came up, we presented and was stumped by a few hard questions.

Well....that was for today, as for the few days back, i've discovered a hidden secret. It seems that there are lesbians in my lecture class. Well, i've already confirmed and got a really liable source. They even made out on the streets..... >.>

Well....dats it for today, time to sleep

Guns And Computer Studies

I feel great today, why ye ask? well...here's how the story goes :

Yesterday was my computer studies assignment. As usual, i was studying whatever information i left ouf or don't know at the same time helping my fellow team members(shao ying, Jeff, thevi and seow yann) with the components they were about to present. Thus we were all in a hectic mood. A few changes here and there, but it doesn't seem right. Well it always doesn't seem right till you check it three to 3 thousand times. @_@

So, i skipped maths tutorial(got sumone to sign for me...hehe) and did the slides. Concentrating wid full attention is not hard to do. And to make things a lil bit easier we got a fren(Nyap Siak...i think its how u spell it) who works in a computer store to help decipher the stuff we were using. After much decipherication, we were done....time to present.

Moments later, I presented smoothly and abit gibberish as i was quite excited due to the large crowd. After i finished presenting, i manage to answer a few questions the lecturer asked me. Then my team member went up to present about the other stuff, upon finishing, this guy(Shen Yang) stood up to shoot my team down to earn him points. Because being a leader(and my members who are not really into computer hardware) I just had to stand up and defend my team from the impending shot. Upon taking my stand, i frontly received the blows....and alas i fired him wid my answers being a "degrading" answer. Shamefully he was booed and i was applaused for.

Well the main reason the crowd was like dat was because of his personality for "Course Mark Whoring". I can't really blame him, but i wonder what made him to be like dat. ?_?

Anywayz....after that my whole team celebrated on ice-cream(LOL) and even took photos.. :















Me, Jeff, Seow Yann and Shao Ying(Don't know where Thevi went)

















I say i look funny.....and Thevi was still missing


Well....i think i'll stop here....kinda tired...

EDITED : A thank you to all my friends who supported me during the presentation and before the presentation. All would not have a pleasent outcome if it weren't for you all. My deepest thanks.(that includes all of my team members too)

A Thinker's thought....

There have been many untold stories lately, UTAR is really a place for many stuff to happen. Even though its least expected, sometimes people have a cold war behind your back. Or maybe, a 'cuddle' war in the corner, and sometimes, a lone war. If people thought about the things around them, maybe they would be more preceptive of things to come. Like this friend of mine who recently just crashed her bro's car into something(which i think might be a pole or railing). Well...if she just thought quickly, she might've been able to control the car, but i guess not since Proton's(i think Kancil kwa...) don't have ABS which is one of the unsafe features.

As for me, i've been living a happy life...filled with luck, bad and good, both flying at my direction like i'm a dart board. And hopefully, hopefully I won't get shot during my Computer Studies presentation. As you see, there's an expression saying "Its the thought that counts". If you see it clearly, what that expression means is that anything you would think of, Good, bad, evil, Holy....will all count. For my computer studies...i know there is one person who is thinking of revenge against me because of my head shooting question(heheh). If there was a watch that had a button to stop all time, i think that it might give me time to think longer about the consequences. But, in life...there is always a thick barrier between reality and fiction.

If you see life as it is, you will always be filled with anger, hate, lust, and revenge. No matter how long you take to think and calm down, never will you be able to anguish these emotions

Thats why life is not just about living, but trusting something else higher. So, Live life to the fullest.
