Day 274 at UNMC

Hi all. It has been exactly 100 days since my last post!

So what happened?

Examinations are finished (duh) and 4 month long summer holiday declared. :)

Took my sweet time and had a Singapore trip on June and decided to take up German lessons from July to September. Why language lessons? Cuz I didn't found an internship/job. Reason? I'm lazy :P

Also my exam results are sweet. I got 2nd Lower. My face when:

I need to pick up game next year I guess. Or else it will be a hard summer.

Till next time then.

Day 174 at UNMC

Heh. Assessment week was not as awesome as last semester.

Activity 1 blows. PEF+SPF+ETD gang bang'ed with 'helpful'* RA meant we didn't finish. * He did help but haiz ... If I did correctly then say lar. Don't sabo ppl by saying you done wrong and recheck then show us the same method we did correctly earlier.

Activity 2 alright. HMT stuff really. Roasted some coffee and managed to finish in time when RA decided to grant miracles.

Activity 3 LOL. I am really sorry my team mates. If it wasn't for me we would of finish the experiment 1 hour earlier and have time to finish the calculations. Again I apologize.

Activity 4 Meh. We were good in our presentation. Pity that one particular group that went off topic. I admire his courage but remember, The "nail which sticks out will get hammered".


Assessment week over. yay~ BUT...
Geololgy test tomorrow,
Maths test next Monday,
Final exams in 3 weeks.

Damn. I don't think I will make it alive out of this.

Back to studies then~

Till next time.

Why bother to win someone over when he/she doesn't even give a damn about you?

Day 158 at UNMC

Well I need to write something before my assessment week. It's nice knowing all of you.

Joking aside. I'm not really ready for my Semester 2 examinations in May. Hell I'm not ready for my maths test coming this end of April.

Short summary : March was the same thing over and over again. Repetitiveness at is best really.

Didn't really do much really. Just played Shogun 2. SHAMEFUR DISPRAY as they would say.

Not one of my applications for internship went through. Well save for Carslberg. God bless them for giving me a non-engineering related internship offer. Obviously it was retracted in the end but still at least I know the window period in applying internships.

Also tried to participate so called events in the campus.
ChESS night - Boring
Charity Carnival - Alright
Bunkasai - Silly but fun. Also take it easy at the saucing.

I don't have much high expectations so I wasn't really disappointed at the events. But definetly all of them can be improved with better organisation.

With that here comes April. A quite one for me. Definitely the silence before the storm.

Till next time.

I have taken the first step to the long road of disappointment.

Day 115 at UNMC

Got my first sem results. Can't say I feel bad about it, but can't say I'm proud of it either. Just work harder on maths next time and pray in the future I don't get tangled with Imaginary Numbers.

Malaysian Studies. I'll say it again : Fucking Retarded.

"The amount of history you've studied is nothing compare to mine! I have a masters in it! Can you tell me the historical significance and implication of this treaty? No? Then be quite and learn!". I remember very clearly that I signed up for a BEng. Not a fucking BA. I don't want to learn this shit. Honest to God this is depressing, the entire Saturday is devoted to this when I can, oh I don't know, revise my ENGINEERING related modules.

Some of you think I might be extreme but come on, Heat Mass Transfer is raping me. Thermodynamics is not quite on the soft side either. Least not forget Process Fundamentals like it rough and hard. Oh yeah, Maths is there waiting too. Then there's the double teaming Modern Chem and Geology (Still don't know why this is here) ...

And know they expect me to take a Malaysian Studies with more memorizing~

All of my hate. Seriously.

Also, I've sent out letters to companies in hopes they hire this near 2nd upper student. I don't think my chances of getting an internship very high though ... Sigh ...

On the other hand, finally dished out the money I earned from HP by buying myself a Nokia C5-03. The jump from Nokia 1100 to Nokia C5-03 is amazingly not smooth. I might be good with comp and web but not with mobile phones though haha.

Till next time.

Day 102 at UNMC

Hi all,

So I have been in this uni for more than 100 days now and all I can say is life goes on as normal. This being the third day of the second semester I must say the pressure is slowly seeping into my head. Really though, the realization that for the next two months and a half I will need to remember and cram all that amount of crap and spew it out in May is indeed horrifying. Ugh.

I find myself saddened by the fact that the chances of me picking up another language during my studies will be very slim. My Chem Eng timetable is both rigid and packed. If I want to take the language module it will be most likely in the morning (lectures) or in the afternoon (lab). Skipping anyone of these mean death.

And then there's Malaysian Studies. Fuck'em. Fuck the Higher Education Act. Why do you need Malaysian citizens, who are born and bred here, to take up such a retarded subject? Seriously? If anyone is to take up such a module the most obvious choice will be international students since most of them are not that familiar with THIS country. Argh. There goes my weekend.

Haiz, for the moment I think the second semester is a "little" bit more easier than the first. Hope I don't eat my words a few days later.

Till next time,
