campus study break.

Its the third day i'm on campus during the study break , will be back home tomorrow.Been doing more studying that i will ever achieve at home, so its kinda good also la.Somehow the bed seems to be calling out to me every few minutes, so next best thing is to move to the library which is situated far enough for me to walk out to Mc'Ds from my house. Somehow, its not exactly a good idea either.

Sitting in the library now,trying to study but here got worst distraction than in my room in hostel.God knows what they're trying to do but they're banging and soldering and burning. Somehow it stinks and its noisy here.Argh....its as if u can run but u cant hide.(i've move places 2 times to avoid the noise and smell, the 3rd, i'll be moving back to my room) So i'll be going back to my room soon or i'll die of some inhalation disorder.

Cant wait to go back home tomorrow so that i could do all those backlogged stuff that I've been trying to avoid and have been sweeping under my bed for as long as i could. Somehow theres another week before it, so time to come out and get myself mentally prepared....some things in life we just cant hide from.

Gonna be back at home for the whole of next week for the Christmas sleepover in W2's house and also my cousins wedding.So to everyone reading this:

WISHING EVERYONE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY 2007 !

I'm Fine. TQ.

Feel so much better now. Its a wonder how mamak therapy works. W2 was so sweet that she brought 4 durians to my house just now from her dads orchard. Have yet to try it, but should be nice coz we could smell it in her car :) So since we were so bored, we just asked if everyone was free for a drink or something but unfortunately ming was not picking up the phone because she was watching TV, so only me, SR and W2 went for a drink at Williams.

We talked about everyone including CS and KF.(hey, we didn't talk about E la...weird) how everyone is working and hows my boring life in Uni and all.....unfortunately there isn't any updates on SR, so just too badla.Talked alot as usual and we were surprised how early our session ended. I was like expecting 1 am or something but it was only close to 12am. But then, it was like only 9 pm when we went out, so that explains it la.

Gonna have an interesting Christmas Party ;) cant wait for it.I'm just happy i can skip the same old same old gathering i go to every year.Will be back on campus on wednesday. Most likely will balik either friday or saturday la.I miss my roomies and weirdly, the library too.

Shall try to work on my assignment now. Enjoy life people. I'm OK :)

A painful lesson.

Today, I lost RM 50 due to carelessness in less than 2 minutes, but i earned a lifelong lesson.

I never took whats not mine.I'll leave whatever thats not mine wherever it is and i dont care if the person after me takes it.But i know whoever lost the thing will come back to find it.But if you took it, you're the sinful one. I'm angry at myself for being careless,but I'm much more angrier at whoever who took my shopping bag. Taking whats not yours, you shall rot in hell! Even if u dont, i'm sure you'll lose twice as much as what u took. Nothing in the world you do will wipe your sins!!!

Panas...

I'm now still on campus as i've got a truckload of assignments to do and my wonderful comp at home is has been slowly crawling because its motherboard(according to the PC guy) is slowly dying.Its super hot here but at least i know i'll have something to pass up after totally screwing my AI assignment.Never felt so dumb in my life ever.AI dont only make me feel dumb, it is super frustrating also....wonder how much we utilize when we go work next time.

It's super hot here and I'm like wearing a sleeveless shirt already and yet i'm sweating. Very tired now and my legs are now tired from the walking in PC fair and the sudden urge to go playh ball after that.Woke up this morning just in time to get on the 10.15am bus with Lynnette to go check out the stuff at PC Fair. Looks kinda messy this year, even my previous company i worked for didn't purchase a booth this time.

Had quit a limited time only to look around, so we just looked, stand, think and buy lor. I placed an order for a DELL XPS laptop only because it is within my budget.It was never my first choice but due to budget, i'll have to go for the most suitable and affordable one.I would have bought the Apple if I had another thousand and i might even consider a compaq or fujitsu too if money grew on trees.Not much things were on discountla...theres this ACER guy who tried to get me to buy his one which was rather obvious more expensive than others,thankfully Minh, my vietnam classmate who was there and saw me told me not to get any of it coz...AHEM, their hardware suck.Even lynnette's comp is prove that they dont last.

So at the end of the day, i bought rm20 worth of those back issue mags that i love, a Laptop sleeve for my "coming soon" laptop and obviously my placed order for a DELL.....A free orange pendrive bag and as usual , a bag full of paper. Missed the cute AMD headgears.Would have loved to keep one for christmas.I've not paid for my DELL yet as they'll send a courier guy to collect from my dad on monday and i'll get my lappie 2 weeks from then.Its a 1.83ghz intel core 2 duo processor and 1 gig ram + a 12.1 inch WXGA true life screen for RM3999 Yup it's one ringgit short from my budget and its gonna be a real small one.Its now a RM4367 Intel Core 2 duo 2.0Ghz processor + 1 gig ram + DL DVD Burner + 12.1 inch WXGA truelife screen.Not exactly very appealing designla....but doesn't matter la...i shall study hard so that i can buy all the Vaio's and MacBook's i want in the future.The sleeve i bought was real cool, even Lynnette got one supposingly for SY, but unfortunately it fits her's better so now its for her ACER.

Dont exactly know if my lappie is for my house or campus,but it doesn't matter as long as i can do my programming at home or on campus and pass it up on time.Kinda sleepy now.Been having rested sleep ever since i passed up my AI assignment. My nightmares havent been appearing in my dreams for quite sometime now....which is a good sign *touch wood* .Should go bed now....long day tomorrow.Nite ppl and enjoy your weekend while i have to slog for 3 due dates next week :)

Nightmare.

Been having nightmares the past two days,perhaps it must have something to do with my bottlenecked assignments. Its like i'm being stalked by a crazy person and everywhere i go...i get either a message or followed around. I cant make out the location and the ppl inside my dreams aren't my friends or anyone i know.I can feel the adrenaline rush in my dream running from here and there avoiding the person and stuff like that.It even have this part where i was going into the lift and the "stalker" was running towards the lift trying to get in but the lift closed just in time.Extremely action movie-ish,but my heart was deffinately pumping. The part that really woke me up was that someone who was supposingly coming to save me from the horrible place got his car wheels chained in the car park and on top of the car hood was written "i know what you're thinking" that was so creepy. somehow i woke up after that not knowing how the conclusion would be but glad that it was just a dream.I just hope it doesn't continue tonight...I've read about dreams like that and it aint any good.So hopefully it'll go away real soon.

Goodbye 21 Hello 22.

Firstly, a very big happy birthday to SR who will still continue her forever 21 mentally even though she turns 22 today.Don't worry girl, 22 is just a number, (in my case) you'll be 23 before you know it...but i know you'll still be forever 21 ten years down the line...hehe. Whats passed is passed,move on girl. Gambatte kudasai!

Been killing many braincells in the process of my Assignments, I'm sure I'll get my PHD (pemanent head damage) before my Degree. Thankfully i had a much needed break the other night when KJ called me out for a drink the last night i was on campus.Chatted till 4am about the old times and all the wonderful memories we had during camps and all.....that sorta helped alot.*sigh* I missed those fun filled days when there weren't much to be worried about.

I have been getting less and less sleep lately and averaging at 4 hours per night ever since getting back from campus for the weekend break.Had my fair share of recorded TV programs and also time on my assignment.

(Alot Of) Killed Brain Cells + Time + Effort = Assignment(s)

(Many) Sleepless nights

Did manage to do some parts of it, but much more time is needed to perfect the functions.So time spent was worthwhile , at least my workload has decreased slightly.

The only regret of this weekend was not being able to attend yesterdays concert because everyone was busy with our own stuff.It was nice of LM for (remembering) and giving us these wonderful tickets(which costs Rm102 each) which he couldn't make it too coz he was at someones wedding, but we met up later for a drink to celebrate SR's birthday and he gave us the tickets as souvenirs.


It was indeed an unforgettable and interesting birthday for SR (and also all of us) .Can't tell most of the details but we were all packed into Jamie's car slightly before 12am with booze on hand ,laughing and chatting until the moment of truth.At least the truth is finally out and SR can finally carry on with her life.We're happy for her and T should be shot for causing all the troubles.We went to William's for a while to get sober and we left at 4am.

As usual dad locked me out AGAIN! Not on purpose but due to forgetfulness.....I guess they forgot about my existence.Wanted to come back without them knowing also cannot...but no scolding this time, coz any birthday of my primary school gang of friends they know since i was a kid is an immunity. I could have just stayed for a dim sum breakfast.....should attempt that next time...LOL!

OMG its so cool..

Fender Stratocaster Hello Kitty Guitars

These guitars are way cool!I like the black one. What a way to encourage more rock chicks. I wonder if they're sold in Malaysia.Bet it cost a bomb. They even set up a website to learn guitar online. Perhaps they should have an acoustic version, i might probably consider getting one even though its so not me.

Headache-nya....

Supposed to be spending my weekend at uni doing my assignments but was forced to come back home to take my acceptance letter because those "D²" (not the garment label but my short form for dumb dumbs) in my uni actually put my students particulars in the year one records where I'm supposed to be placed in the year two records. Thanks to them I have to make my way back home to get it before going through hell(expected) next week getting them to change my status.

Even though its a foreign uni, it still works like those counters in any government agencies in our country. Its like when u want to get things done and u approach counter A, they'll point u to counter B, and then C and then D and till u get so confused, you go back to A and they tell u a whole new story all together and point u somewhere else. Annoying,but being born and bred here... its just something we learn to live with.Perhaps complaining will bring you through another round of pointing game...so why bother.

With 3 assignments(at blog time) in tow and less than a month left before dateline, i start to feel that college life was so relaxed. I used to be able to do my assignments in the last 2 days before due date and score but now,only research alone takes up a week.Its irritating that you know how the damn program supposed to work but coming out with a functional code is killing me.Even a course mate of mine has decided to only take half the overall marks without killing more brain cells because he just cannot bear with trying and trying to make the darn thing work so he decided to pass up only the report without the coding part.Worst thing is that every subject i have has to be programmed with Java language whether its artificial intelligence or database.

Its interesting how i reacted when i opened my room door to find that my TV was missing. It didn't even get me angry knowing that my parents has hijacked it from my room because "you're not at home also what, what for have it in your room....not like you have chance to watch it?". No doubt it sounded quite true I sort of didn't care anymore(i would have made the biggest fuss if it happened last time)....it felt strange but i couldn't care less, I'd be happy if the codes for the stupid AI 8-puzzle assignment will magically pop-up in my dreams tonight even if i have to sacrifice my TV for it.At least I know I'll have one less coding to produce and (a much needed)proper sleep at night.
