Location : bloody lecture theatre
Lecturer: Thomas braunl
Condition: half brain dead due to stupid embedded system
Just can't stand the monotonic voice of his already. Thirty minutes to go. Sigh...
P/s: using an iPhone to blog is a bitch!!!
This blog has been non-existent for quite a long time.. So long that even I myself forgot what my website is.
Been... Well.. Can't say I'm busy cause Lionel's will surely pick up a chair and throw at me if I said that. I have been getting involved in quite a few things lately - gym, basketball, badminton, tennis, studying, playing my card games, playing computer games, read manga, hanging out with friends, sleeping.... basically everything you can think about a uni student except clubbing.
I am a little behind in my studies, but nothing a enclosed session in the library study room won't get me through, so yeah... Still considered up-to-date i guess (A bit contradicting, I know, but i just type whatever comes through my mind).
Right now, I have reached to a point where i am seriously considering my career outcomes. Mechatronics... Back in malaysia, everyone just go:"What's mechatronics?" From what I have heard from ppl who graduated from mechatronics and trying to get a job in malaysia, the chances are you might as well go to the wall and try to beg for some money off it. Therefore....
I AM SWITCHING TO MECHANICAL/COMPUTER SCIENCE!
Big bomb! I am still keeping my computer science degree, cause it is starting to get interesting right now. Not that I don't like mechatronics! Oh yeah, I just loveeeeeeee Thomas Braunl and all hey! (Catch my sarcasm?) it's just that my career is on the line here and I don't want to jeopardise my career just because I don't want to change my old-fashioned mind...
Ohh wellz.. That's water under the bridge now.
Tennis.. how should I say this.... is legend- wait for it- dary!!! So fucking awesome! Wish i can play everyday, which I am unable to do... So different from badminton... It's awesome to get involved in a new sport. So much to learn, so little time to do it! Thanks Des and Nick!
Ok... Enough blogging for now.. I will try to update more often from now on, since I am on my computer whenever i'm home... So sad I know... Sigh... now off to playing badminton
Coming from Reid library, i say good day!
Well, obviously I'm back in Perth already and uni has started for a week now. So what's my take on uni life this sem? Let''s see...
Databases: This unit looks hard, and there seems to be heaps of stuff to memorize. But at least the lecturer talks clearly and easy to understand. Hopefully can get good marks for this.
Embedded System: Well, Thomas is back. And I ain't loving it. Two hour lecture on a friday and being my only lecture? Not fun not fun...
Circuits: Funny lecture. David sure knows how to crack ppl up. Not the jokes he make, but the accent... LOL! Sure is funny when you listen carefully to what he says. Frequency = Fruity, Datum = Dum.
Signals: JPan tries to make jokes that are not funny, but he just stops talking to see who laughs. Stone is back!!! WHOOP! Love his lectures like usual. Thought he is retiring, but apparently no one wants to teach this unit, so he just comes back, in addition to play his favourite touch rugby!
Lectures are boring as usual. Been sleeping in some, skipped some, but who hasn't?
Miss my basketball and badminton, which I played quite often back in Kuching.. Sigh.. Those days.. Back here, I have to ask my friend to drive me home after badminton club session, which is crap btw, cause the floor is so fucking slippery! Man.. The number of time I almost fell down! Basketball.. Sigh.. Doubt I will be playing much, if any, this sem.
Hanging out with friends are still fun. Bbt-ing, conca's, and so on so forth. Lionel calling the new bar in Broadway "McLarens" is a bit unbearable, since we don't really drink there.. LOL.
Work as usual, trying to earn as much as I can. Sigh at the low pay and the long drives....
Nothing much happened, nothing interesting, as that is just how my boring life goes! lOl..
Well, I'm back in Kuching for exactly a week already. (For those in Perth who thinks I'm still in Perth, you're wasting your money trying to get in touch with me) So, let's recap what I have done so far in Kuching:
(1) Been swearing my head off about the stupid slow Internet here in Kuching. Got so used to the fast internet in Perth. Oh welz, you can't really ask much. My internet crashed due to technical problems for the first two days when I arrived, but luckily it's ok now.....
(2) Working with my dad at the hanger (not a coat hanger smart asses). Not so much working as in helping around with the small stuffs and gaining experiences about mechanical stuff within a helicopter. It's amazing how much mechanical parts are in a helicopter. Servicing it alone takes ages, and the amount of paperwork are just insane. Protocols and regulations and shit like that just appears out of nowhere. Hell, you can't even unscrew a nut if it is not in the book. LOL! Well, hopefully can get it done by next week, then I would be able to take some photos during the test flight! WHOOP!
(3) Sports sports and... Oh yeah, more sports! Been trying to keep to my "Exercising at least once a day" regime. So far, I am still able to keep up. Basketball, badminton, jogging, cycling (the indoor machine type)... Sometimes I even wake up at 6 to go jogging with my mum.. Big whoop *sarc...
(4) Ask anyone this question: What do you do when you come to Kuching? Answer: Eat! No explanation needed. I have been eating heaps, so that's probably why my weight hasn't change a bit, as Eating + Exercising = Weight gain +/- 1kg. True story. Here's a list of stuff I had eaten since I came back:
- Kueh Chap (my all time favourite)
- Laksa
- Mixed soup (with all the spare parts of cow and pig, hell good if cooked properly)
- Lok- lok.
- Kolo Mee
- Kam pua
- Chai Tau Kueh
- ABC (ais kacang, hmmm....)
- Mee Kuah.. Not so good anymore...
- Junk food!!!!!!!
- Many more others that I am too lazy to list out....
(5) Sweeping DVDs... Bought heaps of dvds the first day i came back.. Got a bit sick of watching them already.. Maybe I will take a break and have a life.. HAHA! Nah.. Just watching it sometimes at night..
(6) Hang out with frens.. To my dismay, there's very few of my frens in kuching atm.. Went to the movies with them (The day the world stood still... Ppl who hasn't watch this movie, don't! It wasted one hour fourty minutes of my life, which I will not be getting back.... T.T), and played some sports with Yang, Burn, CJ,XL, Xian Kun. Lionel's coming back today, so probably go out drinking with him.
Well, that's basiclaly what I did so far in my hols in Kuching.. Boring life, yeah yeah, blah blah blah...
Can't wait for CNY!!!
Cya ppl soon!
Ok, let's look back at the list of things I said I will do during the holidays.
Things to do during holiday:
(1) Burn my notes for mechatronics cause it is freaking useless! - Decided se not to, cause I am scared that I will fail this unit! Totally fucked up one question in exam!!!!!!!!!
(2) Go-Karting - Not yet
(3) Learn tennis - No one plays with me..... CRIES!!!
(4) Sleep a whole day - On the contrary! Been waking up at fucking 7am everyday! WTF! I am so pissed off at myself! Don't know why!!
(5) Work work work.... Too bad aussie's dropping faster than the ball that Galileo thrown down from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. - Not much work for me.. Probably apply for somewhere else soon, like Maccas.
(6) Play some Dota! Haven't touch that shit for a whole half year... Enfos for the win! - Played on thursday with Nut and Andu. Got pawned totally! like seriously pawned!
(7) Go to the beach! Haven't been there before. So yeah! Gonna be an experience. - Not yet, or won't
(8) Rock climbing.. Total noob though! Hopefully I can make it through with my big fat body! - Probably not, but will do it in Kuching with Lionel when Nut and Uncao come to Kuching.
(9) Chill out with friends. - Been doing it a lot recently. Heck, I'm even doing this blog at Lionel's house. Haha!
(10) Go back Kuching and hopefully get a vacation work. - Probably not vacation work.
(11) Play PTQs and hopefully get a free air ticket to Kyoto! (wistful thinking I know) - Sigh, probably get bad results for it.. Really hope I do well.
(12) Clear out my external hard disk cause it is full of anime, series and manga. Probably will buy a new one, but that depends how much money I earn during the hols. - Hopefully get enough money for 1TB!!!!!
So far holidays I have been doing:
(1) Clearing my room: Finally I can see my floor.
(2) Clearing my card collection: Been a fucking mess, ffs.
(3) Reinstalled dota into my com
(4) Watch pokemon: Yeah, lame, I know. But it is good memories when you watch it again! :D
(5) Went hog's breath with Lionel, Nut, Andu, Kaseng, Desryl, Victor, Ming, Scarlet, Bentley, Adam, Buzz, Yuhan, Timmy, and many others (mainly WFC)
Well, today is very boring for all I care... Didn't do anything productive! :< It is so bored... Too much free time can kill! Wished I had a more stable job which I can do like everyday.
Anyway, it is lkike 1248 at night... So I probably will go home soon..
Lazy to type already, so it's up till here for now then
Bye!
Well, dynamics came out of the blue and pissed all over me....
Now, digital system.... Technically I passed the unit already, but so have a lot of people. Therefore, I am afraid that they will be scaling down the unit. Hopefully I rape the exam and it will bear good grades for me
After that, five days to study for software and mechatronics.. Don't know enough or not.. But hopefully I'll manage!
Countdown to freedom: 7 days!
GAMBATE O!
Exam countdown : 6 days
Freedom countfown : 15 days
Can't wait can't wait!!!! Now I make a resolution to myself! No more manga and ds for these days!!!!! Been reading quite a lot of manga these few days.. It's as if I don't know how to spell "death"! Sigh....
Study plan:
Study break: "Ciong" dynamics and digital systems
After wednesday next week: "Pia" software engineering and mechatronics...
Should be ok la!
Last saturday went to uni to study with desmond, cheryl, lionel, timmy, harshana, ronald. Didn't do much, just one mechatronics article, one lecture and one exam paper.. Hell fail! Went nando's for lunch... Went to some Italian restaurant at Albany for dinner with Desryl, Mel & Nut (these two couples in the couples table) , Nick (white) , Ronald, Lionel (the rest are in singles table).. Had a good one, I ordered Fettucine Carbonara, and had something else... i remember mussels and another dish that has stuff on top of a garlic bread, which is the bomb! Hmm...
Went back to lionel's house.. Me nut and mel resorted to study, since I myself didn't do much that arvo, but the others watch some musical movie, which provided music for me, though I don't watch it! :D
Now back to study MECH!! God damn it! This is ridiculous! Wish we still had Dianne Hesterman to set questions.. Now we had Brian Stone! He is a good lecturer.. but his questions.. CRIES! And while I'm at it.... THOMAS BRAUNL IS A DOUCHEBAG! end of discussion!
Oh welz... WIsh everyone good luck in their exams! Ciaoz
