Night fever!

On the contrary, i actually had a fever early in the morning. Monday morning to be precise.
 
Still i dragged myself to campus and attended some 2 hours lecture in the morning ( which i never find them useful and enlightening ), followed by a 2 hour break and then somemore lectures. Guess what? the day after Monday, is the day i'll be having my physics test.
 
AINT THAT JUST GREAT!
 
whatever. I still went to see a doctor at monday evening regardless, and rest as much as i could.  Slept 12 hours straight afterwhich, and went campus the next day. Did the test nontheless, and when we're dismissed from the exam hall, i just walked straight out without uttering a single word and headed for my car and started my journey back home. Feels like a forever driving, really.

" System reboot teminated. Rengaging control on system's Central Processor Unit."
 
OH MY GOD, i finally made it back home and i used up like the last btis of my consciousness to stay alert so i wont get into an accident ( again ) and i rushed to my bedroom.
 
"System shutting down. Saving settings."

Funerals

Yes, the topic says it all, funerals.
 
So today my sister's friend's grandfather just passed and for security and safety purposes, my sister had me to go with her to pay them a visit. Dashed upstairs, get a change in clothes, a black shirt particularly and left. All along i've never actually entered one, perhaps at some occasion i really did but nothing i remember fondly. My sis knew more or less their entire extended family, since she had been in their houses with her friend all along since primary school years.
 
First to meet was her grandmother, soulmate to her grandfather which just passed away. I've got to say just looking at how she shed her tears, tells a thousand stories about her misery and sorrow. Funerals are not a norm, really, although some people may think otherwise which i strongly disagree, just saying this because i cant shake the feeling that many still take it too easily. Well as we meet all the relatives and so on, my sis's friend came along after she was done with the rituals, and brought us in to see her grandfather resting in peace.
 
Looking at her grandfather, really left me at a loss of words. Never have i stand right before of someone, although barely knowing him ( in the past years i used to have tuition in the exact same house, when her grandfather was still around ) and now watching him laying down there. I felt like as if time has frozen and he was just there, petrified and he will resume right away when clock continues its ticking. Obviously that is not the case there.
 
Dont know why, it always struck me hard, to think that someone you've been knowing could not just stand on his feet again to talk to you again. The ending of life is like a series of questioning, without a fullstop and without an end. Seems to me that no matter how hard someone sleeps, he can always be waken up and he will, one way or another. Call me a science person with all the western pragmatism, but i will always believe in souls. Inside every vessel, there sits a soul pilot by the perfectly engineered and structured genes. Without that, there wouldnt be a "me", and without that, people would not have things such as "will power".
 
In front of her grandfather's ritual, i still gave him a bow as a respect, and i would really... i dont know what you call that, sticks? burning sticks? yeah that. I would really light up one of those and pay respect to him if given the chance. Screw what others say, if one religion forbids me to even do such a thing as an act of respect, that is NOT MY religion, and i'm pretty sure God will understand what i did. So...yeah. God bless him and may him rest in peace.

Facebook...i mean problem

Yes ladies and gentlemen! Today's topic is FaceProblem!
 
Ever wonder why someone's face look extremely annoying to you on the streets, or someone's particular facial feature just gives you an uneasy feeling? Now here the faceproblem pH.D holder ( well he has to have face problems to begin with ) will give you a layout of the poosible factors contributing to faceproblems! Below is an extract of a candid picture taken from one of our sample laboratory hamsters, named Lester. Complete awesomeness.
 
 
1 - Eyebrows
Thick eyebrows narrow your eyes, allowing your eyes to cast condescending looks on others.
 
2 - Eyes
Like what photographers always said, eyes are the most powerful weapon anyone could posses. Of course, constantly stare into people's eyes. Saggy eye bags also makes you look proud and arrogant.
 
3 - Nose
Just like what said by others that big nose will bring big fortune, the lowering of your self-esteem will take an immediate effect upon sighting such people.
 
4 - I dont know whats that called really, moustache? Cat misai? I should go back to kintergarden
Often depict as someone with good sense of style and fashion ( although its the opposite in real life all the time ), they pressure you a lot.
 
5 - Lips
Thick lips only mean one thing - that person is talkative. Extremely talkative. Like a damn bird chirping / bitching all day non-stop.
 
6 - Fringe. Is that the correct spelling in the first place?
A strand of hair that covers a portion of ones face / eyes, means you're not even worth 1 second of his life to displace his hair, and look at you.
 
7 - Hair
Spiky hairs are stubborn, they wont sit, theyre always restless. Its like you're the cucumber and im the durian, either the cucumber goes to the durian or the durian comes, you're still getting hurt.
 
 
Ok whatever. im just shit bored HAHA. today, in about 6 hour's time i need to wake up and drive my way to campus and sit for a math exam. Although we're reassured today that our math test wouldnt be that hard through a sample test our lecturer gave today, however shits always happens haha. So yeah im pretty much damned, and Dynamics test werent that kind to me today either.
 
Good luck to myself, and laters all.

Game Over

Nothing much these days really, its my mid semester term break now and im studying for the upcoming tests and they usually drive me nuts.
 
And my WoW account got hacked, so 3 years+ of effort is all lost now. Restoration is in progress though, but its going to take days and weeks to restore all my items back.
 
If isnt my life is stressful enough from academic, my entertainment just got ruined. Fuck my life.

(Marley and Me) and Me

Now this is one hell of a touching, hillarious, heart-warming, romantic movie that you shouldnt miss. I have a sudden urge of getting myself a Siberian Husky, man why? But i'm still allergic to dog scents.

Yeah this kind. No idea why i liked these rather than golden retriever or poodle blah. Its just a want, not a need anyways. Its unlikely i have the space or environment to breed one of this kinda anyways haha. Guess that is all. Laters.

So what have you done?

So it was 60 Earth Hour last Saturday, so what have you done? Actually i still dont quite get the "60" part, whatever. I did turn off my house's main power switch and in the midst of pitch-blackness, i toke a picture
 
 
 
Oh wait, i said i was in pitch-black, so the above photo was all in complete darkness. =P ( i didnt do a thing at all, i just made a black pic out of Paint. Fools. )
 
So that was days ago, and now i am just done pulling my hair for the 100th time after cracking my head trying to figure out how to do a simple calculations, and the notes aint helping at all. Uni life is seriously like what they said, yeah, THEY. Its a huge jump from college and its all about independant learning. On top of that, we're actually learning back the basics ( applicable for SOME subjects only ).
 
Maths is really the killer, i'm never good at math, and im doing engineering and im in deep shit. haha.
 
Process System Analysis was suppose to be like Chemistry's stoichometry. Turns out to be a MUCH harder version of it. Even i have a SERIOUS problem with it.
 
Physics is all about breaking down the problem into a bazillion parts which can be solved easily, and then putting those bazillion pieces together like puzzles and you get the full picture. Problem is...identifying which smaller parts to be solved is a pain. You dont even know where to begin with most of the time, so usually you'll see my entire page scribbled with calculations which only a quater of them is applicable, another quater is completely useless, and another half of it are mistaken in calculation.
 
Dynamics is...why does this module even exist?
 
Welcome to University, and welcome to Bachelor of Engineering, one of the many hardest modules around.  HEAD PAIN AR~
