Semester One, I’m done

.
At last. At last I finished my first semester in NTU.

Studying masters is no fun at all, or maybe just NTU.

Especially when you have bunch of classmates who study 24-7, and you are relegating from the league.

7-11 in my uni does not open on Sunday and subway too.

I’m going back to KL tomorrow until Friday.

Gonna sleep early today, after so many restless nights.

Currently considering to switch over to part time, doing five subjects are no longer easy for an old man. My brain is plainly just can’t spin as fast as those who are fresh from bachelor degree.

Check out my balik kampung song, isn’t it just suit my current feeling well?

Btw, you can download it too.

18th Nov 2008, The Day which YY Screwed His Exam

.
Today was my second paper, and also the worst day of my life.

I looked at the paper blankly, and don’t even know how to start with.

This is the first time I got real panic in the exam hall.

I can only answered a part which contains 15 marks confidently and the rest are just bullshit and crap. Most likely I’ll need to retake this subject, which saddens me quite a lot.

Spent quite some time of revising and yet still unable to answer it, or maybe I’m not hardworking enough?

Or maybe I’m just not qualified to study masters at all.

Slight Update

.
Short presentation on Wednesday night, but I'm not prepared yet.

Job interview on Thursday morning, but I'm not ready yet.

Exam next week, and the pressure is piling up till hair drop.

Need more time to sleep, eat and study.

Wish me luck on everything please.

Ciao.

I'm Yellow Skinned

.
I have one classmate who is a local. He is intelligent, picks up everything real fast.

He is hardworking too, just like the rest of them. He needs to wake up at 5am and catch a bus to work. His work starts at 7am and ended at 5~7pm. Then he need to rush to uni for lectures just like me. He would probably reach home around 11pm. This is his life. Looks sad and dull?

Wait till he tell you about his 8.5 months year end bonus then you’ll know. He deserved it.

There’s no free breakfast, lunch, dinner here, you have to work it out. Hardly and badly.

No one cares about your skin colour, only performance and result they want.

Busy Months

.

.
The blue ones indicate an important day.

The white one, a breathing day.

Peach one, Weekend.

Thunderstorms and turbulence ahead, please buckle up.

Complain, Complain and Still Complaining

.
I realized that the people here are really like to complain.

Let me give you some examples,

1. When CCTV surveillance is provided at the common HDB lift, you say waste of electricity. When no CCTV, then you say why no security.
2. Unhappy because people don’t give up the seat to someone else.
3. Vehicles parked at the roadside.
4. Your bus moving too slow or your bus driver eating during his duty.
5. ERP, because they charge you when you use it on peak hour. They don’t know KL people driving midnight 3am still need to pay toll.
6. Drivers changed lanes without signaling.
7. Food court table not cleaned.
8. $3.00 breakfast is expensive.
9. People watched F1 for free on top of trees, while you have to watch it at home.


While comparing to us Malaysians, we are easier to be pleased if today:-
1. No traffic jam.
2. No flood.
3. Step into home and locked the door safely.
4. No sudden 40% increment of petrol price.
5. Back home with handbag not being snatched.
6. No duit kopi given.
7. Your neighbourhood police beat base closed due to unsafe issue.
8. Not being kicked back to China.
9. No third and forth angkasawan flying with your money.
10. Your beloved local uni got into world top 100,000
11. Out of the 10 Maybank ATM you went around, 1 is not out of service.

I’m so proud that I’m a Malaysian. Woohoo~!
.

To The Moon!

.
India launched its first rocket to the moon today.

While Malaysia is planning to send the second angkasawan up, proud of eating roti canai on Russian’s spacecraft.

I really feel humiliated. Damn you.

Short Review: WD My Passport Elite

.
My latest addition: WD My Passport Elite

So far, I’ve tried Maxtor, Seagate and also Fujitsu.

Til date, the worst HDD I ever experienced is Seagate. Failed to withstand 24 hours non-stop downloading and died on me in 1 year time. And the warranty claiming was another torturing moment as I need to courier it to Singapore from KL, simply because Malaysia’s branch is unhelpful based on other forumers’ experiences.

In fact, this is my first try on Western Digital.

Pros
5 years warranty instead of 3 like others.
Simple to use.
USB powered.
Low noise.
Lighting response on warranty issue from WD team, bravo!

Cons
The HDD is formatted to FAT32, which means no single file larger 4gb is allowed. There goes all dvd images…… sob sob sob

Price a little bit on the high side

Soft pouch is given unlike the leather ones for normal passport.
