The Gemini

--------------------------------------------------------------
Miscellaneous ranting:
Having a dreadful week ahead of me now. Just finished my first paper and there are two more to come. I knew this week is going to be a hellish week, yet I did not prepare for the tests few weeks before. Well, here I am now, paying the price for my procrastination. Consequences will be bad, but I can't do anything about it now. Will bear with it until my midterm break, which then I will regain my composure. Till then.
--------------------------------------------------------------

My friend sent me this to cheer me up when I was feeling down few days ago. Guess it didn't really help out much, but still I think that this article on Gemini's characteristics is bloody accurate. I've never read any other that is more accurate than this one. It is written in Mandarin and I'm lazy to translate it bla bla blaaa... X)

双子座终极完美分析

> > 有很多的朋友，可是'看起来朋友很多，可是知心的没有几个'这句话很深刻的形容了双子。双子很能说话，他跟别人可以天南地北的聊，可以聊得很八卦，也会聊 一些很严肃的话题。双子可以跟你聊很多东西，可是注意了，他都只是跟你聊一些不关自己的事。随便他跟你说些什么，可是跟自己有关的都只是些皮毛而已。比 如，今天又有某个明星怎样怎样了；隔壁班有多少美女帅哥的。关于自己的事，他几乎是不说的，就算是说，也是说一些关于自己无关痛痒的事。当你想更进一步的 了解双子，他会很自然的把话题给扯开。

> > 对于自信的双子来说，他又同时很没有安全感，这是双子特有的矛盾。他喜欢把自己重重包围住，不让自己暴露。对于双子来说，如果在一个还不了解的人面前把自 己暴露了，就等于让别人抓住了自己的把柄。这样就失去了一定的优势。当双子感到独孤悲伤时，只会一个人躲在房间里哭，或者一个人郁闷着。

> > 双子也很怕被伤害，很多时候宁愿自己承受一切，也不愿别人抓住自己的把柄。所以久而久之也就养成了习惯。

> > 双子基本上也是个很痛苦的人。表面上总是很有活力，很快乐的样子，可是没人的时候他又总是很忧伤。双子总会被一种莫名的悲伤笼罩。但他不会让别人发现的， 他怕被伤害，也怕被别人抛弃，只能自己硬挺着一切。所以双子很神经质，精神脆弱，容易人格分裂，因为承受了太多的东西.

> > 一般来说双子的孩子都很早熟。双子对很多的东西都在乎得要命，可是表面上就是看起来什么都不在乎。双子并不是故意要掩饰自己，上面说了，这只是一种习惯了，可是在外人看来他就成了虚伪的人。

> > 双子是被公认的最花心、最冷酷无情的星座。其实对于双子的花心，真的不想再说些什么了。解释得太多，累了，也没耐心了。可是说起双子，就不得不提感情，双 子这一生，似乎必须被感情牵伴，跟爱情纠缠一世。很多人说双子并不花心，只是博爱，所以才会有那么好的人缘。忘了在哪里看见了这样的一句话：双子最大的悲 哀在于有两个人的思想，却只有一个人的身体，双子有爱自己所爱的人的权利，也有保护彼此所爱的人的义务，双子只剩下一个时，爱也就只剩下义务了。

> > 我想用如来若去说的一句话给双子的花心做个总结：花心的极端就是痴心的可怕。该懂的人应该会懂的。至于冷酷无情真的不知道该从何说起。其实双子是最平和的 星座，如果可以不发生冲突，都会尽量避免。双子也很少跟别人吵架，他讨厌吵架，如果是因为一些生活琐碎小事吵架，那么双子就在吵完的那一刻就把这件事给忘 了；
> > 要双子真的跟你翻脸，除非是你的所作所为或所说的话实在让双子不能忍受，这时他会很鄙视得看你一眼，然后头也不回地走掉，甚至会不给你留面子地离开。这时 你一辈子也别想再和他和好了，就算有的双子碍于面子和你再成为朋友，但是他们已经对你鄙视到了极点，只不过维持着这一层不得不维持的'朋友'关系其实，很 大一部分双子，对待感情是非常专一的，之所以给人留下花心的美名，是因为很少有人能够让略带童心的双子动真感情，不是双子铁石心肠，而是双子个性里面天生 有一些忧郁，一些潜在的不自信，只是双子隐藏的深入，可是一旦让双子动了真感情，那么恭喜你了，双子的天真，率直，外加表达能力丰富，一定能让你获得很多 快乐。

> > 每个双子都有一个故事隐藏在心里，多数是不堪回首的往事，双子是个念旧或者说是喜欢沉浸在回忆中的星座，他（她）的这个故事通常都是因情所困，动了感情而 被伤害了的双子是脆弱的，也是坚强的，他（她）可以很快的振作起来，可以当什么事都没有发生，这些都是双子演给世人看的罢了，等到夜深人静的时候，双子内 心的伤痛随着血液渗透到全身，他（她）可以一整夜的去回忆之前的点点滴滴，可以一整夜的沉浸在痛苦之中，可以一整夜坐在那里发呆，但是，一旦天亮了，要出 去见人了，双子马上就从痛苦中抽身而走，你看到的肯定是一个神采奕奕的双子，这就是双子，拥有双重性格的双子，一个在世人面前乐天，快乐，在孤独夜晚独自 伤悲的双子。

> > 双子的爱是最永恒的，可以付出一切，有人说我们花心，那时我们没有真正的爱，当双子爱上一个人的时候是痛苦的，因为我们太敏感。假如双子爱上了一个不爱自 己的人，那莫我相信他永远都不会再爱了，当爱给过了一个人，他再也没有能力再付出了，其实太多的人都不懂我们，其实连我们自己都不懂自己，我们很会伪装， 很会说谎，但我们最细腻，对感情最敏感，双子的爱与悲伤，谁又真的了解！

Private University

Since last Sunday,I was in deep thought for the title of my new blog post. It was about a retreat I attended over the weekend, organized by the IET YMS (Younger Members Section) Malaysia. When one of my lecturer said something offensive to us students today, I finally had this idea of putting the title "Private University" I will come to the lecturer part of the story later. Let's make the mood happy by talking about the retreat first =)

This retreat, I can say, is not totally for us to enjoy, relax and have fun. Well at least not for me. Before departing for this retreat, Matthew (Chairperson of IET MMU Student Chapter) revealed to me the proposed program flow for the retreat. For example :

Saturday (21st Feb)

3: 00pm – IET Briefing + Overview

8.30pm – Breakout Session 1 – “How do you want IET to assist you or your club for further success?”

10.00pm – Presentation

Sunday (22nd Feb)

9am – Breakout Session 2 – “What can you contribute towards the success for IET Malaysia”

10.30am – Presentation + feedback


ALL I FREAKING SEE IS ONLY PRESENTATION + DISCUSSIONS ON IET IET IET IET IET. >.<" I mean seriously, I din expect to prepare soft skils to a retreat, in A famosa Resort! Our Honorary Secretary, Chee Yen drove 4 of us down, representing MMU Cyberjaya IET Student Chapter. Throughout the journey, we did talk, but eventually I slept off. And, yeah talking about sleeping, my god, I realized lately I have been so sleepy headed. Every break, free time, I will jump onto my bed and snooooze all the way. Bad huh? Too bad then, lol.

Continuing the story, we were the first to reach there, and later other student chapters also reached. In total, there were 6 student chapters participating in this retreat. They are MMU Cyberjaya, MMU Melaka, UCSI, Nottingham, UTAR and INTI UC. Each student chapters are required to send only 4 representatives. So, out of the 24 participants, there were only TWO girls. MISERABLE. PATHETIC. *sighs* 1st thing we did was to listen to the briefing given my Chairperson of IET YMS Malaysia, Mr. Kwong. He's a funny and friendly person. So okay la, give him face I listened to his talks and briefings throughout the retreat. Next was ice-breaking session. Boring, so I'll skip it. Next up was the BBQ session, a.k.a dinner for us. Overall, the BBQ was not that bad, one drawback was I only eaten 3 chicken wings (2 only actually, another was half raw lol), 3 long hotdogs and 3 short hotdogs. That's it. Definitely not enough to fill up my stomach. So were others in MMU Cyberjaya. Hence, what we did was, we went out after the presentation to a nearby mamak stall to continue our "postponed dinner", at the same time watching football. Not bad, this is what I call retreat XD

Second day was relatively a short one. There was only one presentation and followed up by a farewell lunch. I finally got my chance to go out and present our group topic infront of everyone, "thanks" to Matthew. =.= but it was okay, and I enjoyed the presentation, because everyone was concentrating, more like a two-way presentation rather than a one-way presentation like what the lecturers do nowadays *runs away* We proceeded to lunch at Pizza Hut after the presentation. It was an enjoyable lunch with all the student chapters and we discussed about the whole retreat. Gossiping I should say. Luckily 4 of us had our own table and we gossiped all the way. For example, situations on living together with the few student chapters in the same house, and also characters of other student members from other student chapters. *evil* I wonder, did other student chapters gossip about us? =)


PHOTOS!! Only a few, too bad. And I've yet to get those snapped using Matthew's and Sooi Loong's phone. Once I get them, I will edit them here.

Presentations. Group by group basis.

And there, our MMU Cyberjaya Chairperson, Matthew. The one in white T.

Loooooooking up into the ceiling.

The participants, the crowd.

After breakfast on the second day. I took this.

Finally, our group photo before leaving the house and A-famosa Resort.

So, going into the second part of the story of this blog post. I went to a class this afternoon and the lecturer gave the whole class an exercise to do. As usual, we (our whole gang) did not revise, therefore we do not know how to attempt the questions. So we chit-chatted about our plans for the week. Not long after, the lecturer left her seat and started walking around the class checking our work. Finally she came to us and checked. Blank, white papers were the only things she saw, and before leaving she added "Scratching head? Don't know how to do?" She then proceeded back to her seat and "lectured" us. She said "If I'm your parents, I will vomit blood. And do you guys know that you can count yourselves lucky to study in MMU. Compare your fees to local universities, and ask yourself why are your parents paying so much to let you study here? Your fees are almost 3 times more expensive than the tuition fees at local universities. So, please buck up and study well. The future is in your hands. Seliously."

That's exactly what she pronouced "seriously" Omg, you are a lecturer, in an expensive private university and you can't pronounce "seRRRRiously'? Plus, my friend said that if he was her english teacher, he will vomit blood. Well, true. Frankly speaking, the things she said above, I typed it out in proper english because along the way there were other pronounciation mistakes other than "seliously".

But, what she said was true. Actually. MMU tuition fees are very high, compared to other institutions. Yet, we are slumbering and slacking. I was one of them too this afternoon, and when I think back now, I'm at fault. Not the lecturer. All these have to stop. My results since the beginning of my degree year have not been improving and now it stands dangerously at the border of getting a good CGPA in the future, or slump downwards. Its my call, and I hope I'm aware of it. Now.



p/s : I forgotten to bring my towel to the retreat. My sandals were torn, so I only brought sneakers and wore sneakers throughout the whole retreat. And, 4 of us shared the same shampoo for the 2 days. Oh yeah, what a retreat XD

Home Sweet Home

I'M BACK IN TAIPING!!!
*chong king starts jumping here and there non-stop*

Home sweet home. I reached back home yesterday at 4.30pm. I'm just so so so so glad that I'm back home after 2 months plus away from home, since 21st March if I'm not mistaken. The first thing I did was to EAT, obviously. I just feel so good. Later that night, my parents and I went out to EAT again. Yeah, I think I live to eat for now. *grins*

I've listed out the "to-makan-list" in Taiping, and I will make sure I will eat all of them. There were Irene Rojak and 'Tong Sui', Salted Chicken, Hawker Center Claypot Chicken Rice, Taiping Satay.....the list goes on. *drools* And my beloved mom made one of the must-eat food in my "to-makan-list" --- the Chilli Chicken. Simply finger-licking good. Thanks mummy.

Er...this just shows how much I've enjoyed Cyberjaya food eh? =.=



For university students, what's the first thing you do when you reach back home during semester break besides filling up your tummy? SLEEP OF COURSE! I'm so sleep deprived for the past 2 weeks due to exams, exams and exams. Madness. But something happened.....

I woke up today. I stretched out to grab my hand phone to look at the time. Nope, battery died. So I slowly crawled out from the bed and walked downstairs like a zombie to have a look at the wall clock. The moment I saw the clock.....I went...

WHHHHAAATTT

THHHHHEEEEE

*YAWNS*

HHHHEEELLLLLLL!!!!

!@%%$!@&$##@!$#@!

I can't believe my eyes. The clock was showing 6.35pm. Gosh. I went to bed at 12.30 am last night, and I woke up at 6.35pm!!! I slept for *starts counting carefully* freaking 18 hours. I broke my own record for the longest sleep for 14 hours. Dang, I still couldn't believe it until now when I'm writing this post. Tell me who to blame for this LONG sleep? Another weird thing was, my parents were not mad at me, instead they asked me: "Good morning, slept enough already? So do you want to have lunch or wait for dinner?"

Sweat. I hope this sleep will be the longest one and no more next time. I try not to break my own record again. 18 hours of sleep somehow filled up the hole I created due to the torturing exams.

But I still need to say this :

18 HOURS OF SLEEP!!!
18 HOURS MAN!!!
OH BABY!!!
*grins*

Sleeping is just too nice.
Don't waste it unless you can't help it.

My laptop is not repaired yet and I don't know when can I get it to the service center to be repaired. For the time being I'm using my dad's school laptop. Luckily my dad is having school holidays. If not I will be watching TV, eating and sleeping all the time. I'm also leeching the unsecured wireless from my neighborhood. So I take this opportunity to thank him...er..for not locking up his wireless network? *grins* The wireless network is steady today, so I grabbed this chance to post. I hope the wireless signal will stay strong, and I will continue to post and update. *smiles*

p/s: I love Taiping. =)

Is This The End?

Final examination is officially over few hours ago.

Yes.

This is the end.

The end for a year.

The end of BETA year for me.

But...there are 3 more years to go.

A very long journey left for me to fight for.

I hope I can presevere on.

*prays to God*

For the time being, I'm gonna take a long nap, and have fun to the max. =)

The cycle will continue.

That's for sure.

And I will leave that when the time comes.

p/s:

I will try to update what I've missed to write in my blog during the semester break.

The End. The Start. I Hate Both.

The end is near.

Yesterday (9th April) marked the last day of midterm exams I had. A total of 4 midterm exams for different subjects in the course of 2 weeks, starting from 26th March. Oh goshhh, I can be lying dead by now. Well, almost, because its not really the end of everything that I dislike...yet. 2 more major ASS-ignments coming up and I have to hand them in next Friday. Sial. Briefly, I let you guys know what happened to my 4 test subjects for 2 freaking worst weeks I'd ever had this trimester.


26th March 2008, Introduction to Machines and Power Systems Midterm Test
I had one week of midterm break to study this subject while I was back home at Taiping. Well, I did study and made sure I understand all those stuff in this mixed up subject. But, being back home for one week long....it was a rare occasion, so yeah, frankly, I did not really concentrated on studying throughout the whole week. BUT, yeah but again, I believed that I covered all the theories, all the formulas, practically everything. And BUT, .....again, on the night of 26th March, when the midterm test started, my mind went POOOOOOM!!! Blank. I felt like my knowledge of this subject was raped by the test paper. Sigh, no confidence at all throughout the paper. In conclusion, I'm so gonna fail the paper for sure.

31st March 2008, Electronics III Midterm Test
HOOOhooohooh, killing paper for FOE students of MMU in Cyberjaya, well at least for me. And I'm majoring in it, my goodness. After the Machines test, morally down, I studied for Electronics III in the interval of 5 days. To be clear, I STUDIED BY MYSELF for all 3 topics that was tested in the exam. Why? Because the way the lecturer teach in class, can die. Studying part was ok, I can understand what was in Electronics III. BUT, sigh, same thing like Machines paper, I did not manage to do my best at all. *knocks head* Many of my friends said that this paper was easier than Machines. Maybe, but I did not really feel so. Hmmm..maybe I'm stupid, yeah that's why. =(

2nd April 2008, Instrumentation and Measurement Techniques Midterm Test
After the Electronics III paper, Career Fair 2008 was 2 days away. DUH, I gotta finalize everything under my division for the Career Fair. IMAGINE, only 3 days for me to study this subject (because I did not start studying E3 at all yet that time) and having to do my Career Fair job at the same time. That was madness. So, during the 1st day of the Career Fair (1st April), opening ceremony in particular, I carried out my duties and made sure everything went well. After opening ceremony, wasting no time I camped myself at one of the Security Checkpoints and studied for this paper. Well, I'm not the only one doing this. Karan, Hammie and other classmates studied together. Everyone was desperate. When it came to the exam day, at least this time it was not that bad compared to the previous 2 papers. And hell don't ask me why. I don't know why. I did the least studying for this paper and yet I felt quite ok for it. WEIRD LAA.

9th April 2008, Engineering Mathematics II Midterm Test
Had one week to study for this maths paper, but in between, still there are many stuffs to do, eg. lab sessions, assignment. Yup, although there was one week to study, I did last minute studying again. Fortunately, last night, the paper wasn't that tough as I expected. I was able to do properly. I'm sure it was the same for others too, because I saw waves of students left early and after 45 minutes, the hall was already 3/4 empty. So yeah =)


Yeah, that sums up all the 4 test papers I had in 2 weeks. The end of midterm tests. BUT, its the start of 2 huge ASS-ignments. Arghhh.....just how much I hate the never-ending stuff in a student's life. I need a break. *finds Kit-Kat*

But not until next Friday. *faints*

1 Week Later

Currently I'm leeching wireless in Taiping Chinese Recreation Club (CRC) and I'm blogging here.
Ahhhh..missed the times I played tennis with my dad and uncles.
Okok..continue with my post....

I went down to Malacca to participate in a team event MMU Open VI. It was on the 14th, 15th and 16th of March. 5 of us including Wen Ping went down on Thursday night and reached there around 10pm.

We met up with the Malacca campus tennis players and had some chit-chat with them before I caught up with Nick with his brand new Proton Saga *envy*

I stayed at Peter's place in Malacca. It was really fun staying at his place. KJ also stayed together and we played PES challenged each other before we get ready for the real match next morning.

I played for MMU first team together with other seniors. I was the youngest there in the team. Our team had been drawn together with Terengganu Sukma team, Maybank and also UTAR. Honestly speaking, we were clearly the second favourite to advance to the QF. But, once again, luck was not on our side, AT ALL.

1st match, MMU Team A played against Terengganu Sukma team. Terengganu was very strong with 4 seasoned ex-circuit players in the team. One of them is an ex junior national player. I partnered Mr Ghazali (ex MMU Cyberjaya FCM lecturer) and played the second men's doubles.

We were the deciding point as our men's singles and 1st men's doubles lost and our mixed doubles and ladies singles won. Too bad Mr. Ghaz and I was rusty in our partnership and gameplay. Eventually we were no match for the Terengganu pair. We lost 2-3. Lack of training pulled me down.

Politics were in the air after that match and seriously, I hate politics. Each time politics cropped into the game, it spoilt the game. Although some of us are quite frustrated with the attitude displayed and the politics which got involved, for me, I personally kept my cool and "played" along with them.

The next match was the tie between MMU Team A vs Maybank. There is one giant-ass-tall-creep ex national player in the Maybank team. He is the tallest Malay guy I've ever seen. (no offence to the Malays). In addition, there is another seasoned circuit player who won MASUM last year for UITM. Yeah, tough draw it turned out to be for our team.

Again I played doubles, this time the 1st men's doubles partnering Mr. Ghaz for the second time and we played against the UITM grad and his partner. I played much better than I did in the 1st match, and I'm proud to say I displayed some fine shots to get some points out from our opponents. *claps* However, again the partnership between Mr. Ghaz and I prove too weak for the opponents as we lost again. It was a close one. Our ladies singles and men's singles lost. We lost 2-3 again.

And that wraps up the whole tourney for our team. We failed to qualify to the QF. Eventhough we beat UTAR, we still can't qualify. To be honest, I was disappointed but nothing that I could do to prevent all this from happening. I did not train as hard as I did last time. Other factors which I mentioned above spoilt the tourney too.

That night after the loss, we went to Newton Hawker Centre in Malacca where we had our dinner feast, to toast our loss? hahaha..Nahhh..we had a great time there. The food....fuuhhh...aweeesooommmee. And there was a man singing throughout our dinner time. Niceee =)

Tried to be Mr. Long Hands again. The food was nice =)

Closer look at the food, for my table.

The singing dude. He played his guitar very well.
He can join Senior Malaysia Idol. *twisted*

Despite the loss, I treat the trip down to Malacca as a holiday trip. My whole family came down to Malacca with the initial intention of watching me play and progress far. Too bad, I'm sorry. After the UTAR match, I bid farewell with my teammates and followed my family go kai-kai.

We had the famous Malaccan Chicken Rice Ball for our lunch. ARGHHH..I was too hungry that I forgot to take some pictures of the renowned restaurant. "Taste with Jason" or something like that, the food programme for Astro AEC been there before. So, it was very the famous. And, no doubt, the food there was AWEEESSSSOOOMMMEEEE. (or maybe I was hungry) but who cares.....thumbs up for that restaurant.

After lunch, my family and I went for a walk in Jonker Street. It was short walk as our parking time was only 1 hour. Here are some random pictures I took while dad was looking through some decorative ships. My dad very the love decorative ships ok...LOL

Enourmous ship. Price? RM 1599. WTF.

My dad held the ship for me. He liked that ship. Cheap and nice.

After the walk at Jonker's, everyone was tired already. So my sis drove us back to PJ, SS 2 where she stays. I was in dreamland throughout the journey back to KL. Damn tired.

That night, my sis took us to the nearby Restoran Murni, a very popular mamak restaurant. The food there, yeah..nice. =) and the restaurant owner must be very the rich, because waves after waves of hungry eaters come to his Restoran Murni, until the owner had to extend the seating places to a few adjacent shop lots. Teruk. =P

The signboard. Too big for me to snap the whole thing. Part 1.

Signboard Part 2.

Too many people already.
It would be awkward if I take out my handphone snap the crowd, right infront of them.
So i pretend wana snap the rocket-looking water tank. LOL

My sis ordered all the "all-time-popular" dishes : Roti Beckham (for me), Lou Xu Fan (for mom), Tom Yam (for dad) and Carbonara (for herself). In the end, everyone got to taste all the dishes. We share-share. =)

The next morning, my sis took us to IKANO Power Centre shopping complex. We went round and there was a car show by NAZA. A few pretty models were there. Too bad my handphone was not functioning that time....waahahaahaha *grins* so no pictures =P

After that all of us went to PET SAFARI..the animal store in IKANO Power Centre. That place is the main attraction in IKANO, besides IKEA which is located nearby. Had the chance to see many...er...living things in the PET SAFARI. haha. Here are the pictures..to summarize everything =)

The entrance sign. It says "The Family Shopping Experience, Even Pets Enjoy"
ohh hoho, pets huh? LOL

Marine watertank section. Saw "Dory" =)

Saw "Nemo"... Gawd, I'm being childish.

Goldfish galore....banyak sial.

This goldfish, hmmm..I wonder how can he see things when his eyes are all covered up. =.=

Erm. Big Prawns. =P

No comment for this SS Iguana. =P

Another star of SS. The parrot.

PET SAFARI offers personal grooming for your pet.
Photography is prohibited, but I managed to curi snap this picture =)

Too bad, I can't snap pictures of the cute puppies and doggies as there were too many PET SAFARI attendants 'guarding' that area.

SO YEAH, that's about it after ONE WEEK. Feel free to leave comments. *packing bag to leave CRC*

Bye =)


p/s: I got this really cool Wilson-sponsored t-shirt and it has my name on it =)

MMU Open VI Wilson t-shirt.

Take a closer look at the white thingie on my right shoulder

*smiles*

Lazy. I am. For this hour.

Me is very the lazy. Tired I should say, better word to replace lazy =)

I just came back from an interesting futsal match. Our new team versus a seasoned senior team. Yes, it was interesting, the level of play was high and we were very into the game. However something wasn't right throughout the match. The rain. It drizzled even before we started the match. The court was wet + slippery.

The drizzle somehow destroyed the intensity of the match. It ruined our pace. It ruined our concentration. We lost the match. Disappointingly, I scored only 3 goals. I wasn't playing my game. The senior team were very seasoned indeed, to adapt well under the rain drops. They were rough. They were the better team.

But, I promise we will do better next time =) Overall, it was a good game, guys. Credits to Arvin for making this match happen for all of us.

Referring to the last post, I mentioned I had an Algorithm and Data Structure ECP 1026 midterm test. So yeah, like I said, the objective part was surprisingly tough. Everyone felt the same. But the lecturers don't. Balls. Lecturers tipu orang say it will be so easy la..this and that. Bullshit. If I chose not to revise ECP 1016, gone case already. Nahh..better don't complain much. I tried my best. I hope for the best. *fingers crossed, tightly*

And, erm yeah, I had a photoshoot session today. It was for my engineering society IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology). Dress code was formal + coat. I don't have my own coat, sobs, so I had to borrow from Andrew. Credits to him =) And, believe or not, today was my 1st time wearing coat for a photoshoot. Malu sial =P Anyway, here are the 2 photos I cam-whored :

The white piece was a censored part of the you-know-what in tandas lelaki. LOL.
Beside me is my fellow committee. He followed me and cam-whored together LOL.

Blurred effect.

And here are some random photos I took for the past few days. Its getting late now, so I gotta rush =) Lazy actually. LALALAlalala~ *wicked*

Random Photos Update:

Paper computer a.k.a Turing Machine for ECP 1026.
Thank god there is real computers now. I did this exercise in Maths class LOL
Click to enlarge.

SPCA came to our campus and brought along 3 adorable puppies.
Can't stand it, but to take photo of them =)

Went to Old Town after ECP 1026 test.
Andrew tried out the new Old Town burger selling at RM 7.50.
So guys, go and try it now. I bet its delicious. *evil grins*

Seeeedapppp. Too bad. Its only the Carl's Jr discount voucher.
Faked the photo. Jangan kena tipu. *runs away*
I took the picture, and too bad I didn't try it out. LOL

So yeah, that's all. I mean the summary of what and what happened for the past few days. Its getting late now, I better go to bed. See you guys again..*yawns*

The Exit Of The Big Guns

There were a few upsets of the big guns over the weekend. Manchester United were one of them. Chelsea were also one of them (sighs). Barisan Nasional ALMOST became one of them. Fortunately, the luck is still with them, for now.

Lost in the Q/F of FA cup last night.

Suffered the same results like Chelsea.

ALMOST got defeated too. BUT, a bit more fortunate than Chelsea and MU. LOL.

This post was actually inspired by the many defeats which happened just within one day. It all started during dinner with my classmates. We went to Taman Equine, near Sri Kembangan to have our dinner. The live broadcast of Manchester United vs. Portsmouth was showing on the big screen.

We makan + discussed about election results + watching MU missing chances and chances. Yup, eventually they lost 0-1 to Portsmouth despite the opposing team had only one shot on target during the whole second half. Kok Jin and Andrew, both MU fans were complaining non-stop about the bad luck the team was having. I managed to capture some images of the intense situation.

KJ (left-most) and Andrew (middle) watching with 100% concentration.
Suzanne tak tau eye-ing on which handsome guy behind...

We watched at Restaurant Ming Chu. Very orange-y.

Rio Ferdinand as the replacement goalie looked dejected as he left the pitch. Awww..

Well, Chelsea lost too. I'm a fan of Chelsea, so I'm kinda disappointed with their cup performances this season. Luckily I was not watching that match, I'm afraid my expressions will be far worse than KJ and Andrew. I will be cursing. *grins*

OUCH. That's pain in the face!
It was considered a foul on the striker. Tough luck.

Red card for MU's goalie. Harsh. Tough luck again.

Rio became the goalie after the red card incident.
Failed to do some heroic saves. Tough luck AGAIN!

Barnsley player can do flying kick, sure win la like that. =.=

Barnsley was the happier side last night after defeating Chelsea. @%$&*$

You can go to ESPNsoccernet to know more about the upsets and results.

OH YEAH. Election results were released last night. (all of you know already =.=) Honestly speaking, I'm not a fan of politics. So, I did not really pay much attention to the election topic. I don't care about who is competing, who is losing, who is winning, who is crying and who is laughing away. BUT, I do care wee bit about who is gonna rule the country. The last thing I want is civil war in my lovely Malaysia. LOL.

Last night + this morning after I woke up, I briefly glanced through my friends' MSN personal messages. Based on what they wrote, I can somehow get the main picture of the election results. LOL. Here are a few good ones:

"Crazy Day ~~~ DAP, PKR and PAS had taken over Penang, Perak, Selangor, Kedah and Kelantan"

"D A P go! Half of our capital nt belongs to Barisan Nasional already!"

"Phantom voters ftw"

"Ingat, saya nanti rasuah" (LOL)

"Oh. My. Wtf. Aaaannnnd down goes BN"

"Red Rocket..... Red Rocket!"

"DAP -->> the new revolution.. Huat ar.."

"BN got pawned for 200 gold~"

HERE IS THE SUMMARY OF THE ELECTION RESULTS YESTERDAY:

• The Barisan lost Kedah, Penang, Perak and Selangor,
• PAS strengthened grip on Kelantan,
• Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting won in their seats,
• Among ministers who lost their seats were Datuk Seri S. Samy Vellu, Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil, Datuk Seri Zainuddin Maidin,
• Gerakan acting president Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon lost to Dr P. Ramasamy in the Batu Kawan parliamentary seat.

You can read all the news and updates in The Star Online.
-BN wins federal govt but opposition takes five states
-Barisan routed as Penang falls

Politics still don't interest me that well. I just hope everything will still be okay after the elections. I don't want to find myself not on my bed but "somewhere" else when I wake up one day, ok? *laughs*


Time for some.....

** YUI UPDATES **

A short article was released in this website and it is about a report on dear YUI's new PV of "Laugh Away". Below is the content of the short report:

---------------------------------------------

The full version of the PV of YUI’s new song “Laugh Away” has been released!
This new song is currently the CM song for Glico’s Watering Kissmint Gum.

The music video was taken in the extreme coldness in the beginning of February. Two full days were spent out shooting in the cold weather conditions. At the scene where YUI was singing on the grass plains, the temperature was an astounding -6 degrees (celsius)! And while fighting against time, as they tried to finish shooting before sunset, they managed to capture the beautiful skies together with YUI’s singing.

The main male character in this music video is Hayashi Kento, winner of “Newcomer Actor” in the 31st Academy Awards. He acted as a teenager who fell in love, as he displayed his straightforwardness and purity.

Till then guys & girls.

I Fell On My Ass. Bad Start To The Day.

Yup. Bad start to the day, to attend In-Lab Assignment for Algorithm and Data structure subject. Luckily my luck wasn't continuously bad throughout the day. It all started on my warm little bed. I was snoozing away like I'd never slept for countless nights. *Alarm ranggg at 7.30am* I put it on snooze and continued sleeping. *Alarm rangggg again at 7.39am* I did the same thing. This went on for 3 more times, then I finally opened my eyes wide telling myself "SHIT, got in-lab assignment #@!#@#!$$%@#" And then I did my usual thing, brush teeth + surf the internet + check mails + check blog + listen to music (to keep me awake) + mandi and get ready. Time was 8.45am. Yup, got to go. Went out of my house, and began to walk to campus. I always use the "slope" because its the shortest way to get down from Cyberia Crescent. The thing is I forgotten that it was raining quite heavily last night. Everywhere was wet, but I still don't realize (that I should use the stairs instead of the "slope").

So there saya pergi, setting my left foot first on the slope (I KNEW IT.left foot.bad sign) and *guudduushh* I slipped and fell down the slope. About 1 meter down. The next thing I remember...I was scolding "Fuck la, fucking shit..stupiiiiiddddd!" LOL. In addition, the time was almost 8.50am. God I rushed back home and changed into a new jeans and came back out (this time using the stairs,=.=).Anyway this was how my jeans looked like after the fall. Sobs, I will have some hard washing to do later.

Like shitted in the pants =(

Time? 8.55am. In-Lab assignment starting at 9am. And duh like my house to the classroom is 12+ minutes. One word : Fuck. I guess my walking speed to the classroom this morning had the chance to go inside Malaysia Book Of Records. =)

Finally I reached my computer lab, 9.08am. Peluh all over, panting like shit. Then only I got to know assignment gonna start at 9.10am. =.= Then I no need walk so fast until everyone along the roadside walking to campus staring at me like one kind. Malu sial.

OK, that's not the last thing of unfortunate events gonna happen to me. Tutor announced to split lab partners. I'm not gonna partner Karan, and I'd been assigned the partner an unfamiliar quiet guy, who is not that well-spoken in English and I had to communicate with him using mandarin >.< LOL, that's not the end of it. My partner decided to type the program and I do the writing. 3 program codes to copy down, alone. Babi sial. And the shitty thing is, I came up with 90% of the source codes =.=

Now the bad luck kinda ended. The assignment questions WERE EASY!!! I mean for me la. Thank god it was easy, because I was not really prepared for the in-lab assignment. Although I opened the programming textbook last night, lol barang hiasan only la..haha. I was chatting the whole way last night and doing everything else besides studying for the assignment. Babi me. *grins* Anyway, the questions are about temperature, Celsius and Fahrenheit. 1st part, declare floating point c and f (2 marks). 2nd part, conversion program from Fahrenheit to Celsius (2 marks, formula given). 3rd part, program a range of temperature which will print statements for each range (3 marks, range given). Last part, print out a table with the Celsius temperature values and its equivalent in Fahrenheit (3 marks). Easy. Some of my classmates even mentioned to me that these questions are given during the 1st sem of BETA in ECP1016. LOL. So, at least something happy happened after so many unfortunate events. I managed to answer all the questions and I got full marks. *claps* =)

But, sighs, MMU Career Fair is coming up and all the workload is crawling from bottom to up into my head, giving me headaches always. I hope I still can continue doing it. Pray for me. =)

Kays, gotta end my post here, getting tired already. Need some sleep. I will end my post with a short ad about MMU Career Fair. Please do read it =)



p/s : Futsal tomorrow night! Am getting ready to bang in some goalies, hopefully. *grins*
