This 2 weeks will be my final final exams, no more exams for me, that is...assuming i pass everything. Knowing my exams are coming, i didn't feel any sense of urgency to study, no feeling of "oh shit....its coming soon..." not the shit, the exam.
basically wasted a whole week bumming in front of the com playing DOTA while sometimes squeezing abit of my thesis in. Thesis was due 23/4, which was the day of my first paper, ended up pulling an all nighter to finish my thesis, left it halfway to go for a 9am paper, with only 5-10 minutes of study time. Exam ended at 11am, rushed back home n took a 1hr nap, then woke up to continue my thesis, was supposed to be due at 12pm, but someone texted me saying it was due 5pm. Confident that i could hav it done by 4, i took a nap. I seem to be overconfident on alot of things, but just dont know when i should be doing work. Ended up panicking, calling my supervisor to tell him i might not make it, called the office to ask, thank goodness the staff were staying til 6pm, i could have it there by then. Printed it, took an hour to print, rushed down to uni to bind it and handed it in. Office lady said i wasnt the lsat one, but i was almost the last one...dunno what she meant. That's one hurdle over.
Have another paper the next day. Went home to study the latest tips i got on SMS, (Thanks to technology) but largely ignored the tutorials and some stuff...
At the next exam, which was super long title "Industrial Organics and Natural Products Chemistry" (hey not that long after all, maybe cos i type it instead of handwriting) , i was basically writing whatever rubbish i could think of, last minute tips did help a tad.but not enough, felt like shite. Might as well prepare to pay rm100 for resitting the paper. Its my bloody final semester man, why aren't I feeling any sense of urgency at all? no drive to study, no initiative, no nothing. I keep telling my self i wont be like this next time, duh! there is no next time, i'd be graduated by then!
monday, tuesday papers done, following thurs' 26/4 paper, Polymer Chemistry. Heavily tipped by our lecturer, we should, or "I" should be doing some good, but no...on Wednesday i slept the day away, only to finally start studying at 8pm. til 3am. Got myself distracted very frequently, some movie, then Heroes, then...Champions league match between Chealse n Liverpool, not that i'm much of a footie fan, just easily distracted. Slept soon after, was planning to wake at 7am, to continue studying, but just couldn't drag myself n pry my heavy eyelids open. Snooze for another 1 hr, woke at 9, did some studying then it was time to go.
Fetched my girlfriend, was contemplating a quick lunch or just some bun while studying abit mroe before the paper, ended up having KFC. reached uni about 145pm, exam to start at 2pm. studied abit then entered the hall late as usual.
With all those tips, I should have made some good. Ended up bombing the thing and writing even more crap. great. must have been a dissapointment to the lecturer. just hope i pass this paper and don'thave to take a supplementary paper for this
Next week is the final paper, the most shittiest one, "Advanced Coordination Chemistry". failed the course work, so i'll have to score like mad to pass this subject, hope all goes well, i have exactly one more week to go.

Some old pics
Was going thru my hard drive, found some interesting pics to post
Anti stress kit at uni

Broken floor in class, just about after 2 years of studying, shoddy work and scrimping on cement somehow allowed gas to build up under the floor tiles. One fine morning the gas decided its time to show, n popped the floor tiles to escape. Gave some classmates a shock, now many parts of my uni hav cracked tiles too. Not because of some fatty bom bom stomping around tho

Cannibal lecture!
Was feeling pretty restless, wanted to shout/ scream/ break or throw things around but couldn't. Was up most of the nite preparing for my presentation slides for "Persuasive Speech". A speech less than 5 minutes took me about 4 hours to prepare. Then i slept from 6am to 9am, got myself ready really slowly, arrive just in time for Public Speaking class.At that time, the 1st speaker was jsut about to start, my timing not too bad la. I was the 9th. While sitting there i just wanted to do something. Was sitting with SH, cracking stupid jokes while the speakers change one by one. Sh turn was before me, i think he was number 3. After that i just didn't know what to do, and he's a nice guy to bully, so i bit him, yeah i BIT him, right on top of the shoulder blade. Felt a little good, scared him tho.
After lunch SH had the misfortune of sitting beside me again. I just got back my Final Year Project (FYP)Report. lost of red ink insdie. Supervisor told me to repeat a particular experiment. WAARGGHHHHHH ROOOOARRRRR. couldn't actually do that, was in class. SH saw me report and was laughing away, which led to me biting him on the arm again. this time was harder, n a wee bit longer, had to let go before he started screaming in class and getting the lecturers attention. Felt a little better. The texture and strength of human flesh is interesting, i worry i might become a cannibal just to really taste what human meat is like.
Suprisingly, that 3 hrs of sleep lasted me til 1am the next day. Normally i would be asleep by 2pm...in class.
Semester is ending, exams are coming, reports are due soon, i'm gonna graduate too, anyone volunteer to be bitting by me? Need a place to run away to relax before the exams. I just want straight 8hrs of sleep.cant seem to get that, too much noise at home + i'm a really light sleeper.

Muse Concert KL
I went to the Muse concert on Sunday 25th Feb 2007. Drove to the Stadium Merdeka, parked my car, walked out with my gf and saw the banners adverstising the concert saying "FOR NON-MUSLIMS AGE 18 AND ABOVE ONLY". Yeah right, as if the people of this country are so abiding. True to what i said, er, can't actually say it straightforward, so its like this, about 90% of the people present for the concert had denounced their religion...
The concert was sponsored by Tiger beer, hence the non-muslims and over 18 suggestion thingy, but how are they going to control the crowd? And if they really did enforce it, there wouldn't be many people going for the concert.
We lined up from 6pm til 730pm before being let into the stadium. Sat inside there trying to entertain ourselves for the next hour or so.
The crowd sitting in front of the stage must have been blind or somewhat, everytime a GWAILO walks onto the stage the would scream and hoot...guess they can't actually remember what the band members look like. Those people walking around were just technicians and stage hands damn it. But it was entertaining watching the crowd. People watching at concert, not too bad. You get to see all sorts of attention seekers walking around in midriff bearing tees, weird hair, Westernized attitudes, speaking of which, this malay girl sitting behind me was somehow so irritated at the clueless screaming crowd infront of the stage she complained loudly to her friend beside her with some accent froman unknown western country : "WHATS THEIR MOTHERFUCKING PROBLEM!". ok, raise eyebrow, whats new eh? next she speaks to her friend in the most erm kampung-ish BM...bet that was about the only thing she could say in english...I just hate people with lost accents
The concert started at about 9pm. There were no warm up bands like the previous INXS concert, thank goodness for that. Muse came up the stage and started their thing immediately to the delight of the crowd. Everyone was soaking it in. A large portion of the crowd knew the lyrics to the songs and were singing along to it like a giant karaoke party. Not even the national anthem was sung with such spirit.
All in all, the concert was entertaining, little problems with the sound system, the music was louder than the voice, so I couldn't hear much. Wasn't such a big fan of Muse anyhow, my gf got me free tickets. So everything they sang was pretty much alien to me. HaHa. Too tirred to continue now...will sleep first and if I want, will continue what I'ved left out of this post.

Happy Chinse New Year! Year of the PIG!!
Gong Xi Fa Chai rakan sekalian yang sanggup membazirkan masa membaca blog aku...ok that enuf b.m for me, all i can manage is bahasa pasar...
Spent the CNY eve having steamboat dinner with my family at home, while my gf had hers at her place. As usual I sat my ass in front of the com and played DOTA til quite late, about 4am, then went to sleep. Was awoken by my younger bro shouting "NBA ALLSTARS!" a few times around 9am...there goes my sleep. Since it was ALLSTAR weekend, and a holiday, i drag myself out to the living room and watched NBA. Nothing spectacular tho, skills challenge, 3 point shootout, running race of an old referee against fat Charles Barkley (Barkley so out of shape, tho he won, he was breathless and it was funny watching him wave the interviewer away cos he had no breath to speak...even tho it was a few minutes after he had won...)
Slamdunk competition...bla bla bla, nothing interesting, seems like all the nice stuff has been done by other people already.
After the show was over...back to sleep. From 1pm til 4pm. Was a busybody here n there til dinner time.
Called my gf to see what she was doing, she asked me to go over, i said no, she got unhappy, put down the phone. I didn't give a shit...then after dinner i got a call to go over the a friends house for some gambling. Called my gf to tell her i'm going out, was recieved with mucho hostility...ended up having a SMS fight that lasted until the next day.
Seems like the chemistry we had between us is fading, if not faded already. I study chemistry, but my chemistry is not working....failure...
will call her again, and see how it goes, either we continue now, or its over

Hole in foot
For the psat few weeks, there was a swelling on the sole of my left foot. I sorta assumed it was a corn growing, its was a little irritating and painful if pressure was applied to the spot. Just a moment ago I realised it wasn't bothering me anymore, so i decided to pick at it. The skin came off, so i continued picking at it and using a nail clipper to clip away the skin around it. There was a cavity when the skin was removed, so i looked in and sorta saw something shiny inside the crater. I immediately grabbed the sharpest narrowest thingy nearby, which was a screwdriver from a Jewellers set and poked at it. The flat shiny thing moved, it wasn't a layer of skin on the inside of the crater, i hobbled over to my room and got my tweezers from my Swiss Army Knife out, and picked at it again. Turns out to be some tiny piece of plastic lodged in my skin. Its about 2mm long, and pointy.
I must haved some how stepped onto it and it peirced thru my skin, at that time to deep and small to notice.

Now that it's out, its great, cos i'll be taking part in the Fly.FM - MalayMail BBall challenge this Satruday, Jan 27. Wish my team luck.

Fountain of youths
This fountain at the end of the Curve shopping mall, between the Curve and the Cathay Cineplex has been open for ages, all of a sudden it was bordered up with flower pots.

I used to see little kids playing at the fountain, babies lah, seeing the water shoot out suddenly excites them enough and the go screaming and running back to their parents, Nice to see and brings a smile to my face. So when i saw the fountain close up, no more playing, I was thinking "why close it up? too dirty is it?"
Then I remembered my brother telling us elder siblings about one of his escapades. He had a drink at a bar nearby and was feeling all pukey. So where's the best place to toss up? At the fountain la! Bugger went and puked at the fountain...imagine his puke being recylcled and the shot up into the air again...yucks...
So it wasn't to prevent kids getting dirty, it was to prevent a big kid from dirtying it...stupid fella...

I did a good deed! yay!
Last Friday 6/10/2006, i saw a message on ZTH forum asking members to donate whatever computer parts we have available and not using anymore to an orphanage/home for under previledged children. So i messaged the poster and told him I had an old comp sitting around, and was willing to donate it. "Cool!" he replied.
I got to cleaing up the comp, formating the old hard disk...too many girly pics in there, can't have the kids going through my contents ler. Wana teach them nice thing end up teaching them unwanted things.
At night, we finally met up. Jermaine had a spiffy looking car, Kenari nicely modded. He was so grateful on getting the comp from me he was almost bursting. Jermaine would be helping out the orphanage for about a year, so he'll be sprucing up the place, teaching the kids about computers i guess.
Kudos to him and being so involved in what he is doing.
Coffee tables, carpets, comps, books, and whatever things usable to the kids growing up there are appreciated.
The orphanage/house for underprivilaged kids is in Klang, Jln Kapar area. I haven't been there before but Jermaine says its in a slum area.
I'm in KL, so if anyone would like to donate, give me a message ya?

Snapshot!
The other day i was driving around Tmn Bahagia LRT station looking for a parking spot to wait for my gf when i came upon this nicely done up car, didn't recognize it at first but when i got closer i saw that it was an old Nissan Fairlady.
I checked the rear view mirror to see that no one was behind me, stopped in the middle of the road, took out my K750i and focused and took a pic.
Here it is

Then i drove by it to take a better look and realise the driver was inside on the phone and he saw me taking a pic of his car! MALUNYA......
I gave a sheepish smile and waved, and he smiled n waved back. and continued talking on the phone. malu malu...shy shy...
Whoever you are, thats a nice car you have.

Engineered fart
For this week and the following weeks, the floor of the lab building will be drilled with a jackhammer, pounded with a sledgehammer, removed and then repaved.
When the work is carried out, i can feel the wall shake, and the earth move beneath my feet
(que music?!)
When I got to the labs yesterday, i noticed the doors of the bio lab across from my chem lab were open, all the doors were open. As i got closer, i noticed this funny smell, someting like fart or shit,
or rubbish.
Found out some genius in Biotech placed two bottles beside each other, one containing Butanol (an alcohol) and the other have Hydrogen Peroxide(H2O2), a really strong oxidizing agent, used
in bleaches. Somehow, the vapour of these two chemicals were released, and they met, chatted, held hands, kissed, did the hokey pokey and turned themselves around and !!~@#$%^&*. They dissapeared and left no mark, but they left this smell that was abit like fart, but stronger. For the whole night this smell was trapped in the bio lab, waiting for the lab assistant to discover it the next morning.
Really wonder what was the lab assitants' reaction when opening the door. WoooHooo....
Anyone wanna try mixing alcohol with bleach? just get some thinner, or turpentine or something and mix it with hair bleach, or floor cleaner or anything with hydrogen peroxide in it.
I will not be responsible for the results, but do tell me if you try.

Pahroud to be Malaysian?
Wahsai, I got this link from KennySia's blog which i got from Dawn's blog whic says i am
38% Meraysian....yay! not too bad huh?
Oh yeah...SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI KEMERDEKAAN!
very quiet celebrations again, last minute only i heard the advertisements for Merdeka, fly the flag la, be proud la, but 4-5 days before it happens only they step up the promotion.
I actually tuned in to watch the celebration in Kuching. Sucked big time lah, even the performers didn't know the words to the sonds they kept playing along, waving their flags too. Their 15 minutes of fame use to show their moves moving like fish trying to breathe not going along to the lyrics. Tiuniamahai, want to be on TV also better abit la. Lip synch also pro abit la.
Merdeka is so dead nowadays. Wonder whats happening?
Then some stupid monkey says Mat Rempits are Putera UMNO's asset, sei sor hai, might as well fish for votes from the prisoners in Sg Buloh prison la. Telling this to about 2000 Mat Rempits during Merdeka, you gonna encourage them to race and endanger other peoples lives. Wave the national flag around and that stupid monkey says you're an asset. Tiuz, ask those criminal stuck in jail to wave the flag, see stupid monkey say the same thing or not.
If people like him are going to lead the country, we are going to be fucked la, can start writing laws to legalize butt fucking like Mat Rempits love. Since they are going to be the majority voters for Si stupid monkey, might as well make laws in their favour right?
Hailat lor......

NEW COMP!
Got my new comp on Sunday 27/8/2006! YAY!
Its an AMD 64 x2 dual core 2GHZ processor, ASUS M2N-E motherboard, 80GB Seagate HDD (seldom dl things anyway), 2x 512MB Kingston Ram, HIS IceQ3 ATI RADOEN X1800GTO graphics card, an iCute casing with built in power supple (wanted it for the fans).
still had to plug in my old IDE HDD and also the old CD reader/writer
new HDD is SATA, and had some problems doing it. New HDD keeps getting viewed as an external removable drive. Still figuring how to stop the comp from doing that. Up and running on the internet, hence the blogging/crapping.
Will have to try to study for next weeks exams. Have to reduce my computer addiction.

INXS concert/fake accents....2 weeks late
So...my gf got free tickets to watch INXS perform live in KL, we obtained "The Pitt" tickets. The only thing i knew then was that the singer was some guy that won a contest, so not exactly a fan lah! But the tickets were free, and we had a chance to meet them, have a cocktail dinner and enjoy the performance, so what the heck, go lah! Its an experience not to be missed right?
I had a long day in uni before I could go. Ended my project on a bad note, something irregular, experiment failed. Left uni at 5++pm, we were supposed to be at the Stadium Negara by 5.30pm, jammed from Jln Kuching to Dayabumi, arrived around 5.45pm. Was searching high and low for a parking lot, no signs to say where to park at all. Finally found some place to parked and happily got conned for a RM10 parking fee, while some earlier one i saw was RM6 (but that place was boarded up and looked damn dodgy). We parked behind the stadium, had to walk downhill to the front to the entrance. We signed in as special guests and were ushered in to the stadium, while the people with normal tickets were waiting outside.
We were told to sit in some section for awhile, while the band was practicing and adjusting the equipment. I was impressed by JD's voice, live sounds as good as on his video of "Pretty Vegas"
Soon we were usherd into "The Pit" area, thats right infront of the stage. walking in front of us were this bunch of girls giggling and speaking in high pitch, fast forward, and very very dodgy accents...that was irritating. Being excited is ok, but throwing the accents was funny. One of the girls shouted something at Kirk Pengilly, and he shouted back "Hi Leng Lui!". quick to pick up a phrase in our language eh?
We stood there for awhile, expecting to meet the stars soon. Then the manager came out and called us to come near, he told us about the do's and don'ts (No personal pictures to be taken, no kissing and hugging,etc) He also said we will be able to have a group photo with INXS at the end to the meeting session. That sounded really cool.
Soon they came down 1 by 1, and we actually stood in a row to greet them and get their signatures. Out of nowhere this chinese lady in blue came n grabbed one of the band members and started taking pictures, thats when everyone took out their own cameras and started posing the the INXS members. JD Fortune was the last to come out, and he was mobbed by the girls with fake accents, I decided to continue collecting the signatures of the rest of the band before going on to JD with my gf. When I reached JD, the girls were still mugging him, it was too dark to see whether he was being groped (LOL), just as I lifted up my poster for him to sign, the manager tugged JD's arm to tell him fan session was over, AND THIS WAS LESS THEN 5 MINUTES, give or take 30 seconds per band member. Before i could think of asking JD for just another signature he was gone...I had 5 out of 6 signatures on my poster.Damn!
Soon the organizing staff told us we could go for cocktail dinner, and brought us out, dinner was outside. Leading the way to a...locked gate! talking into the walkie talkies, wasting about 10 minutes before deciding to use another gate to get the the cocktail dinner tents.
While on the way to the cocktail dinner, these girls were still chatting, not that chatting is a problem, the accents were getting really irritating. It sounded like it came out of "Totally Spies". Shite! did they learn their accents from that cartoon??
Then one of them said "NANTI NAK SEMBAYANG TAK?"
ZOMGWTFMCHTNSKNNCCB-BBQSAUCE!
All that accent throwing and suddenly a phrase in the most basic bahasa/malay accent that you can get on the street/school/col/uni....I almost laughed my head off. If you want to carry an accent, carry it all the way lah!
Had a quick dinner at the tent and questioned the Celcom people about the organizing of the concert, whether INXS were really gonna come out and hav dinner with us or not, stuff like that, every reply was negative. Can't seem to get that final signature for me n my gf, damn!
We were ushered back into the stadium, while we were Q-ing up to get into the pit, the noisy accented girls were denied entry. One of them asked the guy manning the enrtance to the pit why not, and was told something, she then turned around, looked at me and said "He's not letting us in" YAY! Accent free concert! I showed my tickets to the guy and he let us in, I turned around to see if anyone else was coming in and caught the girls giving me this deadly "Stares of jealousy cos you can be infront of the stange and we can't" stare....6 of them...not scary! very funny! BUAHAHAHA!!
At that moment, there were only another couple besides us, I mentioned I was afraid there would be so few people in the pit, picture having less than 10 people watching the performance...weird lah! Got to know the couple, Shoban and Agnes, nice people really, and long time fans of INXS, since Micheal Hutchence's era.
Soon more people came in, the floddgates were opened. This skinny chinese girl stood beside me and started pushing to get closer to the middle of the stage. We waited really long for the concert to start. Some band nameb SingleTrackMind came at about 8pm to adjust their equipment, dissapeared and came back again at about 8.30pm. Their performance was bad, not a good live band at all. Kept on telling us this is from a yet unreleased album,a song dedicated to Pak Lah and DrM, cheeziness anyone? towards their last song their banner dropped of the stage, a bad sign for them i suppose, they didn't see it. They should have been called SingleTrackBand...
After the warm up band, the INXS crew came out to readjust all the settings and equipment, that took about 45 minutes, from 9pm to about 9.45pm, stading there was tiring, especially since we've been there since 7pm. The skinny girl beside me decided to lament on the long wait with an ACCENT! lucky me....being surrounded with accents... she said "OOah Mai gawd! whaats takiing so longg. Aii think ai'mm goin to faint" grrr...throw the accent away la...soon she got a phone call from probably her school friend and she was screeching excitedly into the phone " Wor zhai zhe li ah! wor zhai ze li ar!" which means "i'm here" and said something about being in the concert in madarin...another case of "can't pull the fake accent off-syndrom" behind me were a bunch of indian girls chatting with accents with a foreigner...is there no end?
So...now where am I? right! after the waiting and endless assault of fake accents on my poor ear, the lights went out, INXS walk onto stage in the darkness. I could see la, standing right in front of the stage after all. Again, I'm not a fan of INXS, so i didn't know what they were singing, but i was enjoying the performance. Shoban and Agnes were singing along to all the songs, cool!
A good band functions well with all the members, not just with a good vocalist. Each instrumentalist, the 3 brothers and Kirk were doing a good job, and JD was performing really well. Really good voice and a great entertainer.
After like an hour, they said their goodbyes and told us we were a good crowd and he loved us...guess he told that to every country lah! haha. It felt too short a concert for them to leave like that, and I figured that was probly a gimmick, or time to take a break. Soon the crowd was cheering for an encore, and true enough they came out again. This time louder than before. They were playing the old songs and of course the new, and of course "Pretty Vegas"
Sometime in the concert, JD walked off stage and in front of "The Pit", stretched out his hand to touch the crowd. Many people near the front lunged forward to have a chance at touching him, poor Agnes was crushed against the railing by some beefed up faggoty guy trying to touch JD's hand. Of all the hands, JD manages to avoid mine, maybe he saw that I was a guy and avoided it at the last minute...haha. No trouble for me when Jd came over, girls managed to avoid pressing against me. Rugi if rub their body on me huh?
Kirk Pengilly threw his guitar pick in my direction, me and this chinese girl were trying to grab it mid air, it fell out of somebody's hand, bounced on the floor, went through the rolled up poster of mine, and slid down into my bag. What luck!
Then the concert was over, while the crowd were dispersing, we decided not to get caught up in the human traffic and just sat down where we were standing. Waiting for the entrance to clear up.
All in all it was a great concert and really nice to have met Shoban and Agnes, real fans they are.
Photos will be uploaded once I get my photo-editing software back.
I had a long day in uni before I could go. Ended my project on a bad note, something irregular, experiment failed. Left uni at 5++pm, we were supposed to be at the Stadium Negara by 5.30pm, jammed from Jln Kuching to Dayabumi, arrived around 5.45pm. Was searching high and low for a parking lot, no signs to say where to park at all. Finally found some place to parked and happily got conned for a RM10 parking fee, while some earlier one i saw was RM6 (but that place was boarded up and looked damn dodgy). We parked behind the stadium, had to walk downhill to the front to the entrance. We signed in as special guests and were ushered in to the stadium, while the people with normal tickets were waiting outside.
We were told to sit in some section for awhile, while the band was practicing and adjusting the equipment. I was impressed by JD's voice, live sounds as good as on his video of "Pretty Vegas"
Soon we were usherd into "The Pit" area, thats right infront of the stage. walking in front of us were this bunch of girls giggling and speaking in high pitch, fast forward, and very very dodgy accents...that was irritating. Being excited is ok, but throwing the accents was funny. One of the girls shouted something at Kirk Pengilly, and he shouted back "Hi Leng Lui!". quick to pick up a phrase in our language eh?
We stood there for awhile, expecting to meet the stars soon. Then the manager came out and called us to come near, he told us about the do's and don'ts (No personal pictures to be taken, no kissing and hugging,etc) He also said we will be able to have a group photo with INXS at the end to the meeting session. That sounded really cool.
Soon they came down 1 by 1, and we actually stood in a row to greet them and get their signatures. Out of nowhere this chinese lady in blue came n grabbed one of the band members and started taking pictures, thats when everyone took out their own cameras and started posing the the INXS members. JD Fortune was the last to come out, and he was mobbed by the girls with fake accents, I decided to continue collecting the signatures of the rest of the band before going on to JD with my gf.

Bad week
The week began on a bad note, waking up late on a wet Monday morning, i knew the road to uni was going to be jammed. So i thought of using an alternate road. Which was quite a dumb idea as i'm unfamiliar with the road, I had to get to 3 traffic jams to get to uni that day. I was late for lab, but the lecturer was even later, so i could still go join the lab session. After the lab was over i decided to go for lunch with a classmate. One the way back i had to go through another 2 jams before making it to uni, and uni was just a few kms away.
Forgot what happened on tues and wed, but on thurs i got a call from my friend, asking me to go for a dinner on friday at a bistro. I informed my girlfriend about it and then we got into an argument/silent war about me not spending enough time with her. the argument lasted til 3-4am on a friday. I managed to get 4 hours sleep before classes. Got to uni with squinted eyes. had a silent lunch with my girlfriend and then i was to do my final year project.
It took me about 1 hour to prepare my sample. i forgot to bring my log book, which has all my calculations, apparatus and procedure listed down, so i had to sit there and think of what i needed. After preparing my sample and adjusting the pH, i started the computer to run my sample. thats when i lost my temper, I tried to start a certain program/the computer for about 30 minutes and nothing would happen. Windows would just start and hang. Nothing could be done, preparing the sample was a waste of time. I stormed to the staff room, searched for my project supervisor and coordinator to complain about the virus in the computer which hasn't been elminated yet, but they were not there. I walked out of the staff room seriously pissed, decided to walk down 3 level so i could kick the stairs door open...just to release a bit of anger.
I just don't seem to have the luck in my final year project. everytime i manage to secure a lab session, something crops up to stop me from doing it. The beginning of the sem was a good time to do lab, but my car was in an accident and i had to tend to it. Then this Short Fat Fuck (SFF) sharing the same equipment as me had the priorority to use the lab and managed to book weeks of lab sessions in advance, which leaves me and the others using the same equipment with next to no time to do project. When i managed to book it, the lab assistants were not around, i couldnt get in the lad the whole day, another time was when i got sick and wasn't feeling too well to sit in the lab the whole day. thats twice. I had only managed to book the lab 5 times. First was still testing, second was a failure because the equipment were changed and SFF knowing i was going to use it did not inform me, third was ok. The friday just past was supposed to be my 6 lab, which failed because the com was fucked, and our stupid uni is too poor to afford a proper anti-virus software.
really angry now with my project, nearing the end of this sem and lecturer saying 3 months holiday is not enough to complete it. Not being able to do it, on the only available days, the lab is overbooked by SFF...tell me who do i need to kill?

In a Limbo
No, not the limbo rock dance... currently in a weird state. I'm tired, depressed, confused, exhausted, stressed and can't think of anymore. I would like to hae a few days all to myself, no need to drive, or talk to anyone at all. Basically I want to be a vegetable for a few days.
I just had my Food Chem exam today, it was horrible, trying to cheat is as good as not cheating, nothing good happens. In this case, no one had an answer... everyone came out of the exam venue feeling shitty, or thats what I observed. Maybe the class geniuses were satisfied. This is the depressed part. Not to forget, my knees are injured and I can't play sports regularly or normally anymore, I need sports to cheer up, but not getting any at the moment.
Makes me think maybe I AM in the wrong field. Maybe I should be studying something else. I am thinking of studying something else after i graduate, but whether my parents like it is another matter. This is the confused part.
Tired and exhausted, from driving, lack of sleep, not having a good nights rest at all for the past few months. By saying this i mean getting to sleep for at least 8 hours with out waking up at all due to noise form the kitchen/TV/brothers room/family chatting and stuff like that. I always get woken up before my time, and it sucks.
Lets see how long this phase stays, before I find some peace.

Sharp shooter required!!
Drving therapy or exploring?
So friday classes ended at 11am, and the rest of the day was free. i decided to drive around after lunch and try to find a road i've been seeing from a highway. I managed to find the road i was looking for, apparently it was the old road to Bentong. winding kampung road, lots of trees, but the river along the road was tea colour, signs of development with out control. That sucked.
driving along the road, i saw a road sign saying "camp XXX", forgot what it was. I instincly swerved into the sliproad as camps meant more greens, and i like greens.
i only took 2 photos with my handphone. one of a bridge with a door...and a really tall tree. wouldn't want the tree to fall on me anytime...
Bridge over (not so) clear water

Tall old tree
