Finally........

YES.... finally our exams are over. (Wootz!) The torment and hardwork that we need to go through for the exams and not to mention the sleepless nights just to memorize the name of fushi tarazu, engrailed, hunchback (brokeback), kruppel just to name a few. After the exams, life suddenly became very slow pace where I just slumbered through and wasted my time on sleeping and going out with my friends. I was just merely staying at home and pondering what should I do next as I will be dropping my second degree in Monash, I would have to find something to do eventually right? Maybe I can go and bake a cheesecake like what KH did for his mother. How thoughtful of him, bless your lovely heart KH.

The peer pressure from the rest of the homies to find a job made me look at jobstreet and Star newspaper in an effort to find a job that pays well and gives less work LOL which is quite impossible. Ivan said he is finding for a job where he can work as a janitor. How ambitious, after all the 3 years that is the job that you want to have? Kinda weird but we will never understand what Ivan wants. Well for KH, he is busy finding job as well in some Unilever company if I am not mistaken and Samuel he is already packing his books and bags to return to school in late July, so enthusiastic of him.

Other than that, we have been playing DOTA quite often. Talking about DOTA, we got massacred and got killed until there is no tomorrow in one of our DOTA sessions in FTZ. Its FTZ asia net (Cyber Cafe) its not fushi tarazu gene. Sam was loved so much by one of the opponent that he was the one who always got killed and raped. Poor Sam but he stayed through the game even though wherever he goes, pudge will be there also LOL. One thing that disappointed me was Pirates of the Carribean 3: At world's end. Oh man, there was so much excitment when the movie was released but we arent able to watch it due to our final exams. So basically I was expecting greater action and greater story plot from the movie. It turned out to be a disaster, I couldnt really understand the story plot where a good guy suddenly becomes a bad guy then the other way round again. Ivan was sitting beside me asking 'EH just now he was bad right?'. Guess what, I looked at him and I told him, 'DUDE, I have no idea man'.

Then there were crabs, where on earth do the crabs come from? Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp wasnt on their peak performance man, there were just sailing through on whatever the director wants them to do. I would say that the 2nd episode of pirates was much much better where at least I could understand what is going on LOL. Well as for now, I guess that the rest of the homies are busy finding jobs and all. I think I must go and find a job or a course that suits me as well. Who knows next time, Ivan will be holding a big cigar and drive a big BMW because he is the founder of the new generation of toilets where you can do your business upside down or whatever position that you prefer.

ITS OVER!!!

No more examss!!!! So happy...After 3 years....one degree is over....can't imagine how glad i am...

Now...it's time to rock the world.. muahahahaha

Reflections

This would be my last post prior to the exam and i'm reflecting on what i have done for the past 3 years of my life as an undergraduate. For an easy read i had better separate it into 3 parts; first, second and third year, that is.

Life as a first year undergrad was pretty monotonous, that's boring in other words. I think i occupied most of my time with reports and studies, literally. I still can't fathom what has gotten into me at that time; imagine the non-living entity (books) became my best friend and i had no qualms about that lol..if that were to be the case now, i figure life would be pretty meaningless. Having said that, i must stress my diligence shouldn't be likened to that of a nerd's; their level of assiduousness is in a realm beyond my imagination and reach. I did occassionally go out with pre-U friends since i didn't really bother to make new acquaintances in uni. I guess the friends i really knew well back then were only Sam and Ivan and somehow i had the mentality that i wouldn't quite fit into the community of uni friends...lol kinda pathetic. So i figure i seeked solace in ..u guessed it..books. DAMN lol

Came second year, all of my pre-U friends went overseas for their further studies..suddenly life became rather quiet; no one left to accompany me to a game of pool or snooker. In all, i guessed i missed their presence but still i had to move on. Things weren't that bad that year since i started mingling with uni mates but it wasn't easy initially; whenever there's a group chat going on, most of the time i'd end up a spectator, and when i laughed it was for the sake of laughing, not because you guys were funny! lol Still, their companionship did ease my transition into uni life and i couldn't have asked for more, could i? Speaking about uni workload, things got worse; i reckon 2nd year is the busiest year in any Biotech student's life..the workload just kept accumulating from time to time..no thanks to long hours of facing the monitor. Imagine having around 4 hours of sleep almost every day. That's mental torture fer ya. It's a wonder how i emerged unscathed from that hellish experience lol

Third year, my swansong year in uni, had lots of things in store for me. Suddenly i had a band of brothers in ah-Sam, Ivy and Coli. Don't ask how that happened, i don't know, probably due to our times spent together annihilating AIs in DOTA. See, DOTA ain't that bad after all, it makes people of various horizontal and vertical proportions come together lol. Also, 3rd year was relatively less stressful than 2nd year in terms of workload, whew. Still life is like a cycle of mixed emotions, one moment you gain contentment, next you are dissatisfied; one moment you thought you are happy, the next thing you know heartbreaking moments await you. Anyway, the highlight of this year would probably be my industrial training stint; met with lots of fellow trainees from various places and it was a refreshing experience. Got to know how it feels like to be in the working community. Enjoyed every single moment there and most importantly, I discovered something which had been missing in my life for far too long, something i'd move heaven and earth for... nah its not related to religion, i'm not qualified to talk about it lol.

Having said all that, i think its time i went back to work, one more assignment left and finals are approaching real soon...damn this has unwittingly become the biggest event at this part of my life . There are lots of things i want to do after graduation but i shall leave that to next time....lol

A rushed post

Three weeks long of hiatus and still counting; any newer post after this is inconceivable due to the amount of work we have thanks to our uni. Heck, truth is we are just plain lazy to even bother to make a post, let alone sustain it on a regular basis. I’m in the uni’s computer lab rushing my report since I practically cannot do much of work at home thanks to disrupted broadband connectivity; keep up the excellent work TM for you are the nation’s pride just like Potong (Proton). For the past few days I have been hopping from one friend’s house to another friend’s to access to the internet; makes me wonder how long I need to remain as a vagrant.

Anyway, we met up with workplace colleagues from UCSI and UTAR last week and they haven’t changed much; Li Ern with her permed hair, Muthu with his one-thousand-words-per-second chatter outlet (lol, I mean it in a good way), Alicia, still maintaining the same weight, I believe, (coincidentally identical to mine) and Tian Tian with her ‘sweet’ personality as usual. Yuan Ni was coughing though; Yik Lim, the perennial busy bee, must have neglected her lol.

Come to think about it, most of our colleagues are either having their holidays or just resumed with their new semester so they shouldn’t be as busy as us. Darn, now I’m asking myself why am I spending my milli-seconds making this post; time and tide waits for no man.
Till next time.

Time Really Flies Like Superman

What can I say, our last semester as a biotech student is coming to an end coz EXAM timetable for this sem is OUT! What will happen to us next time I often asked, what will happen to Sam, Kh, Ivan and me? Probably, in the next 2 years Ivan will send an invitation card for us to attend his wedding. I do not know but I am curious. Maybe Sam will become an actor in Malaysia where he acts as a Loan Shark, maybe Kh will work in a bakery next time baking cheese cakes. Who knows what will happen to us? But look at the bright side, no more lab reports and assignments to do anymore, YES! just the thought of it makes me float in the air coz you guys might not know the trouble we go through to complete the lab reports or assignments. I remember vividly the past few days where I need to hand up my sci2010 assignment, it was only a 3 paged assignment but we need to read over 10 journals and half of it I couldnt understand a single thing that the journal is trying to tell me. It is as if that the journals have some reflective powers that whenever I read it, it just got reflected back CRAP! that was mental torturing and not to mention the genetics essay that we just handed up today.

Speaking of the genetics essay, today me and ivan went to school at around 12pm and we sat in the com lab altering and improving our essays and we decided to hand it up at 2pm. To make things worse, our final exam timetable is OUT! Wootz, so excited, wah can score high, wah can excel this time (Only Applicable to Kok Leong and Leang Chong here). For the four of us, this is the time where we panic and go blur. That time it was bioactive lecture, the four of us will normally sit at the back of the class except for kh that day he came in late I think (too busy baking cheese cakes). So when felix came in and sat with us, he started screaming 'EH EH EH EH, EXAM TIMETABLE IS OUT ADY' with his distinctive high pitch sound. So as usual, Sam got panicked first, Ivan will be there putting his hands together to pray that God will save him one day. As for me, I was in there mummering crap crap zia lat liao, sei cho ady this time, tua ki ady this time, mampus ady this time. How encouraging right the 3 of us, so Sam started asking Felix with his eyes wide opened hoping that Felix will tell him the good news of the timetable. Unfortunately, it was short lived Felix said this sem's exam will be very near to each other. Then suddenly Mira uttered a prophetic word from 2 rows in front, she said 'U know what, bioactive and sci2010 are on the same day' talking bout adding salt to the wound. At that point of time, you could basically see sam's face turning pale as for me as usual la RED. As for Ivan, he is still in denial that this wouldnt be true.

The horror of having 2 papers on the same day is equivalent to like having a pregnant dog chasing behind you. Besides that, Sam's body is too weak to take this kind of pressure and I am concerned about him that he will purge during exam because of insufficient meals in between. Imagine those people sitting behind him LOL. The three of us were there complaining and mummering bout our misfortunes but for Felix, he just shouted DOTA DOTA DOTA, we play DOTA 1st, worry later. Sometimes, I just want to pay my utmost respect to Felix for being such an encouraging friend.

But it turned out to be ok after all, we only had papers on the 15,18,19 and 21. But if we were to compare to last semester this semester's exam timetable will be far terrible than last sem. We will have to finish all the papers in one week's time,haihz basically means studying early. But when I want to start studying early, we will normally end up in Blueserver not sharing our knowledge on genetics, bioactive or other subjects but rather on how we should kill steal. U might wonder why do we always play dota and nothing else, but let me tell u the truth, all of us do not have a clue to that also haha. But i believe in striking a balance in life, doing everything in proportionate and not to indulge in one thing only. That is my principle of life.

Hopefully, once we graduated we can still mingle around and spend time together. If not, at least we meet in blueserver playing dota haha. One and a half month before the finals friends, let us get ready for it and let us celebrate as a biotech graduate who earns RM1500, can i hear a loud YES? Crap i only heard cricket sound.

SIEN OH SIEN.........

Its 3.00 am now...i cant sleep d...and i am doing my genetics essay.....i am seriously drained now..I'm seriously fed up with the amount of work i have to do....Last week i have to do two assignments...lab managemnt and application of science...Then this weeks is this dumb essay...SIEN OH!!!!!!! Anyway on a lighter note, before we hand up the SCI2010 assignment...we are supposed to pass it up thru a programme called turnitit (www.turnitin.com) to detect whether we plagiarized any journal articles we used for the asgnment. I got 20%, colin got 17%,felix got 26%...but after minusing the references....all of us got less than 10%....all except KIAN TAT....BTW...a lil intro...Kian tat is kian huei's older brother....although i still can't see the resemblance...lolz...And he always seats in front during lecture...if u thought kok leong is the only one who seats in front, u r horribly mistaken...This guy...man..he OWNS the front bench...more 'terror' than kok leong...sorry kok leong...and the other place he goes in uni is the library.....wow....this guy...totally puts his brother to shame....Yeah..u heard that kh...u are a disgrace...haha

Anyway.....kian tat passed up his assgnment thru turnitin and guess how much he got for plagiarism? it was 84%!!!!!!!! I didn't know it until kh told me on msn...Me, colin, ivan and felix were laughing like mad when i told them about the 84%....WHOA.. dude.....even if u cut off the references u won't go lower than 70%....Kian tat...if u are reading this post....u deserve my utmost respect for your courage in copying the journals word for word. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.. Anyway....kian tat told me in the end...the plagiarism was 2%...Now, i seriously dont' know who to believe coz from 84% suddenly jump to 2%...lolz...Maybe u can ask both of them when u see them..

Now comes the sad, morbid part.....(funeral anthem please)...Our mid term exam lasts for only a week....ONE FREAKING WEEK!!!! My goodness.....when felix told me the news during bioactive chem lec...i almost blacked out...Colin started mumbling senselessly like some monk...Ivan was holding his hands in deep prayer like some voodoo fella.... I thought he was joking...until Mira said something more disturbing....that bioactive chem and application of science falls on the SAME day!!! OMG!!!! That time....it was like one scene in armageddon...can literally see the world collapsing over us....All of us were really panicking...and then when class ended...we ran straight to com lab to check the timetable....it turned out that they were not on the same day...phew...(Mira...dont' scare us again man...can die one u know) but was next to each other ...nutzz...So the exam for me starts on 15 (genetics), 18 (application of science), 19 (bioactive chem) and 21 (lab mgment).....Man....this is the first time in uni i would have to seat for the finals for only a week... i know that the business students all finish it in a week...but they dont' have to go thru tons and tons of lecture notes with whatever promoter, transcription factor, nucleophilic substitution to digest....sigh....

Oklah...back to work d....need to continue with my genetics essay.....at least i let some steam off here....hopefully i won't drop dead tomorrow....Anyway...gambate to all my frens who are taking the same papers with me....No choice but to study ASAP.....sienzzzzzzz

Story Telling

Ok, as day passes I found that all the bloggers are getting lazier and lazier to blog. Needless to say, I knew that all of them would just log in to this website to find any new post, leave some comment and it ends there, full stop. I can’t complain much since that’s what I did. Just when I feel like giving up in this blogging thing to ,kh came upon me and remind me about this blog thing and I finally made up my decision to blog as I see it as a way to distress since I juz took my mid sem Marketing paper and is suffering from post exam syndrome now. See guyz? I still blog when our essay is due on Friday dun say as if I study and do my assignment whenever I am at home lol. When I told kh that I am gonna write something, he predicted that I would write about my exam but I am not gonna do that haha.

Just as I started to build the tempo to blog, I suddenly run out of idea on what to blog. Ok since this blog is getting more n more dead I decided to write about something even its bullshit haha. On last Friday, me.kh and sam went to the PC fair to get some of the computer stuff where at the end of the day, I bought a modem router (using kh modem to on9 now haha) and a 2gb pen drive. On the following day, I connect the router and tried to configure the modem but it does not work well. Then, I reconnect everything to the old modem hoping to restore my connection. To my dismay, I cant even online with my old modem where the local area connection shows ‘limited connectivity’. After trying and trying for few hours, I finally came up with the conclusion that my LAN card was faulty. Then on Tuesday, me, kh , sam and colin went to pyramid since the red faced guy wanted to get a 2gb pen drive initially. There, we survey for the prices for external hard disk and pen drive and we actually found that the price in PC fair and the price offered by the seller in Pyramid does not differ much. Yeah, remember to add up the petrol, parking, and time as the cost too if you were to go to KLCC for the PC fair. Ok after buying a LAN card from pyramid, I decided to replace my LAN card with the newly bough one today. As I plugged the new card in, I was able to online using the old modem.

Curious if the new card will work with my new router modem, I reconnect everything to the new modem but to my dismay I am not able to on9 again. Then, I replugged it back to my old modem and found that I fail to get a connection. There are saying that ‘curiosity kills a cat’ and now I understand it clearly. After some magic trick, I finally able to online using the old modem. Heck, I told myself that I am not gonna touch anything on my internet connection till the end of this semester. As I wrote all the crap till here, I can feel that the post exam syndrome is started to disappear and hence I shall stop my crap now. So before I end this blog, I shall say this “NEVER EVER PLAY WITH UR CONNECTION WHEN THERE IS ASSIGNMENT/REPORT TO BE HANDED IN”. Okay since I am so kind to tell you guyz a story together with the moral of the story, I expect you guyz to give me something in return such as treating me for lunch. Ok till then.
