Second year gloom and ESGR

Gawd... I thought I would never say that, but I wish I was a first year again...

Reason:
(1) The lectures are getting more and more boring. The lecturers must have gone on a special class on how to hypnotize the students, and make them have low marks, so that it makes them seem very clever or some shit like that.. Especially our maths lecturer(you-know-who, note: no lionel, it is not Voldemort!).. If I didn't go and copy down all the notes, I bet I will be seriously lost right now. Plus ESGR(Elite(only when Lionel's in it) Study Group Reborn) helped me in maths a lot..

Mech lecture ain't better in any sense. I now have a freaking drawing due tomorrow, and I just realized I haven't finalized it.. Who studies drawing when studying engineering? That is just freaking insane. Not to mention the abysmal lecture on drawing.. This is my lecture notes for the lecture this morning..

People starts to lose concentration and starts dozing off or doing some crap like this:

Person(left): Should we consider doing civil engineering?
Person(right): Why not hey! We managed to make all the pens and pencils stand steadily.
Person(left): Yeah! How hard are a few bricks!

(2) Reason number 2 is the amount of projects I have to do this semester. I seriously doubt I will be able to do well in all of it. Mech(Warman Project) and three projects for programming. Damn! And if Desmond wasn't in my group for Warman, I will be so screwed that I will need a screwdriver to unscrew myself.. Oh welz.. Thanks desmond! I will help in anyway I can!
This is Desmond for those who didn't know(recently singled). Go for it girls!


Teammate no.2: Anthony(Tony)
Fun fact: Tony and Desmond spent 2 dollars each sms-ing each other during lecture when they are only a few feet away. Talk about rich hey!

Yeah, that's basically why I wish I was a first year again. Haiz.. The life of a first year, sitting in the reid cafe, drinking a cup of coffee, talking crap, watching the ducks walking in the cafe, ds the whole day in uni, time in the mcl just hanging around and stuff like that.. Bet all second years have that kind of reminiscence as well.. Oh welz... Life's life!

Monday night is currently known as ESGR night, a night where we catch up with MATH2040..

ESGR members include:
(1) Lionel(special acknowledgment as he volunteered using his house as our base)
(2) Me
(3) Desmond(special acknowledgment as I always hitch a ride off him)
(4) Peanut
(5) Andrew Zhang(who was absent, cause he needs to spend time with his girlfriend, ngooow........)
(6) Andrew Leong(and his girlfriend Dani, who wasn't doing Math2040 but just tag along)
(7) Buzz(Brian is his real name, as Tim found out recently and go :"OMG!")
(8) Vivek(who i don't know very well, but will soon i suppose)
(9) Kaseng
(10) Kwan
(11) Naijiao(Jason)
(12) Kathee

Quite a lot right? That's our "Study group".. We spend half of our time figuring out how to do the assignment(i.e. looking at Lionel's version), and a quarter of the time listening to Lionel explain the stuffs, and a quarter of the time wii-ing! Fun!

Towards the end of the day, something weird suddenly happen:

Kaseng: Look, I am so fucking handsome and look at this sexy pose!
Lionel: OMG! I like it!
Kaseng: No! No! Australia says no!!
Lionel: Who cares about Australia!

Of course, some part of the convo is true and some are not. Interpret it yourself!

Anyway, got to go now! Have three assignment due on Thursday! Freaking hell hey!

See ya round..

First week..

Been like freaking ages since I updated! Maybe it is because it is the holidays and there is so much else to do instead of staying in front of the computer for like an hour or so to do nothing but upload photos and blogging. But since now uni started, expect more posts on my blog!

Haiz.. This is my second year in UWA yada yada yada.. * insert All the crap talk*

Feel a bit distanced with everyone else, but at the same time made new friends and friends that are not close closer. Mechatronics engineering is not something I wanted to grow up to do, but oh welz... Guess it doesn't hurt to explore more possibility... Computer science.. Haiz.. Everyone is dropping it out one by one.. Kaseng, Peanut and many others.. Now it is like only me, kwan, scarlet and kathe who are doing comp science right now.. Oh well, have to get use to it..

MECH2401(visual com) is a unit which is kinda like IPE, which I have a strong *ahem* feeling against.. Cause the first tut we are required to draw Winthrop Hall.. Er.. Earth to Mech Office: This is engineering, not freaking art class.. Don't really understand the meaning of it.. But yeah, have to get used to it.. More to come..

MECH2402(manufac.) sounds fun, with the manufacturing stuff and other stuff like that. But yeah, I skipped the second half of the lecture cause i have to go to another lecture.. Kinda stupid hey..

CITS1231(web tech) is a waste of time(for now).. Now learning HTML and client/server protocols and shit like that... Anyone who knows how to use the Internet should have no problem with this unit.. Seriously..

CITS2200(data struc.) is one of the hardest unit I think.. Although not now, but it will be, since from my resources, half the class failed the previous time(but half the class din attend the lecture,. hmm....)

MATH2040(eng. maths).... Gotta hand it to the maths department.. They sure know my weak spot hey.. MAN!! It is like super ass hard... The notation in the notes are weird, and I can't understand what the guy is rapping about.. OMG.. Lionel, need your help here!! Jking!

And yeah, my first week in uni basically sucks.. Especially the first two days.. Man !! The first two days, I havent had a start of sem that hectic b4..

Tired like hell right now from gym..

Ciaoz..
