Couple of things

Just a quick couple fo things recently,
 
# The haze is so bad for the past few days. i could literally SMELL it in the air the very moment i wake up in my room. Terribad.
 
# its raining for the past few days! Good thing to rid the air off those terrble haze
 
# My newspaper bridge suceeded! Despite the fact that i've been working in a 2man group only, and the bridge weighed 0.8-0.9kg and had ~5mm deflection. It made some scary sound as we suspended the 20kg load, and we were terrified to the point that we didnt start the timer. Silly us, even the tutor had to raised her voice to remind us of that. Made it, and when we decided to add another 10kg load, it fell apart right away, not to mention nearly half of the members broke apart.
 
# Computing MATLAB is so tedious and hard! Even with my friend's reference in front, it still toke me a full 1hour+ to understand it.
 
# Electric quiz is so hard as well!!
 
# I got 7/8 marks for my Electrical Eng mid-term test! So all its not all that bad when come in terms with all my past failures haha.
 
# I stayed back untill 8pm+ for my bridge project and dinner for 2 days and pretty late for couple of days as well. Man it was tiring but worth the stay.
 
# 2 of my RL friends is picking up the game World of Warcraft. Totally surprised me.
 
# Just watched The Ugly Truth. Pretty hillarious movie.
 
# I'm feeling hungry now so i'm off to eat something and thats it for today's entry =D

Fallin for YOU

Came by this song today, check out the lyrics. Play it using my window media player ( IE only and not firefox), otherwise you could get from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7qtLrQVUFQ
 
Colbie Caillat - Fallin For You 
I don’t know but I think I maybe fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly, maybe I should
Keep this to myself, waiting ’til I know you better

I am trying, not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

I’ve been spending all my time
 Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

As I’m standing here, and you hold my hand
Pull me towards you, and we start to dance
All around us, I see nobody, here in silence
It’s just you and me

I’m trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So I’m hiding what I’m feeling
But I’m tired of
Holding this inside my head

I’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don’t know what to do
I think I’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you

Oh I just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I can’t stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can’t hide it
I think I’m fallin’ for you

I’m fallin’ for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I’m fallin’ for you

Up

Watched the movie Up today, i've got to say its a movie definitely worth watching!

 

The front parts, it doesnt require much talking at all and sights alone would tell you enough, enough to bring you to tears even! There is one part where he was flipping over his old photo album, and his late wife wrote "Thanks for the adventure now go have one of your own" totally made me sob for it. Definitely worth shedding a tear or two for it. Its simply so touching.
 
Enough said, you should just watch it yourself.
 
In addition to that, i bought a new shirt recently and the words are actually peeling off. So i actually sat down and iron the words and peel it out ONE by ONE! Toke me one hour but i totally rescued the shirt. I kinda like it as well.
 
And last its Ken's birthday today, so i was driving to campus today and entering the parking, i found out that the queue was so long! The usual me would sigh in dissapointment "Kids...they'd never find another place to park". So i started driving foward while calling Jin whether he'd want t pick up the cake first or not. While i was doing that i inevitably got myself into the main road, and unable to make the U-Turn at the far right lane ( while i was 3 lanes from the far right) i made a left turn...
 
and ended up in Kesas highway. Dang. Passed 2 tolls to get back to Bandar Sunway. What an expensive trip haha just to get the cake delivered. Nonetheless it was awesome, everyone had a good day so...yeah. Thats all about it today.

Mean people are mean

Been a while since i last blogged about real life happenings, and now heres a shit tons of them.
 
- First -
 
Drivers alert! For your information, you, yes you. The far right lanes on the highways are for FAST and SHAMELESS drivers. Another is that if the ratio of the available space behind you is smaller than your front ones, it means you should move to a slower lanes, one is of course the fact that you are really driving that slow, another is that the driver behind must be tailgating you so for your own safety, just let him overtake you.
 
Traffic Jams! Its not about giving a HARD BRAKE and slowly accelerate to cover up the gaps. That will ultimately cause traffic jams! You decelerate at a steady rate and eventually stop if neccessary, or keep moving even at a slow pace to keep the traffic behind moving.
 
Another thing is to keep the lanes you'll be taking early, do not do sharp turns in the middle of the road at the very last minute, you'll cause the car to brake and eventually cause traffic jams!
 
- Second -
 
The whole of this week has been crazily packed with assignments and project due dates! Thrusday night i rushed untill 2am or so, toke a nap till 5am and continue my powerpoint slides. I ended up with a sickening stomach and was already feeling like vomitting. Not to mention the past 3 days i had been sleeping at like 10.30pm or so, and didnt get to play a single bit of WoW at all. Amazing.
 
- Third -
Its a very bad day today for Friday. On top of my stomach feeling unwell, i have to rushed and finish my slides at last minute and present with a starving stomach. After which i'm completely worn out and still went Chemistry Tutorial. Who wouldve have the mood to do work after a whole long week of stress and this particular tutorials have no whatsoever assesment. The usual talkative me went chit-chatting and guess what? Our tutor called us to do one of the questions. Thats fine, if thats how you want to embarass me in front of the class. Here comes the worse part.
 
He actually called our lecturer, and purposely made today's exercizes a graded assesment AFTER assigned the questions to my friend and I. Come on, with all due respect my dear tutor, you just base your personal feelings into academic grading. Its inevitable in many cases due to dilemna, but this? You already have the malice intention to ground us right from the begining because we talked? And he went complaining about how he's not earning a salary and what not, and his extra effort paid into making this tutorial a resourceful one is not getting anything in return. What do you have to complain about seriously? If you're so sentimental and calculative about your effort and your 0 salary, quit the job. Stop getting your riled emotions into a student's academic downfall. You're like a crybaby seeking revenge honestly.
 
Now the worst. He told me friend afterwards it is not actually a graded assesment. Are you playing Jedi Mindtricks on us? If i hadnt mention a lot of students already hating you to the core for your overly strict grading for the reports, and i've seen you correcting grammar in a chemistry report. For serveral times already. "...the following measurements is taken into account for the...." and you'd actually notice the "is" and have it circled and correct it with "are". I'm sorry, although you're still my tutor and i'll still do the tutorial / reports properly, but i've lost complete respect for you.
 
Of which i want to just mention a teacher in my past, Mrs Lee. My sec4 class teacher, and i'd dare to say i've never had so much respect for a teacher ever untill her. I still remember fontly one of the phrase she mentioned, it goes along the line of "A wise old owl on the tree. The more quiet it is, the more it hears. The more it hears, the more it learns.". The two of you are definitely on two opposite side of my Respect-O-Compas. Enough of him, totally ruined my day.
 
- Fourth -
Went into Electrical Laboratory sessions after chemistry tut. If its not any worse, the whole lab is packed with twice the load of students due to the fact that Monday was a holidya and their replacement is in the same slot same time with ours.
 
Thats fine.
 
We're forced around to find an oscillascope to use.
 
Thats fine.
 
We ran into a more complicated, more high-tech oscillascope. We're completely clueless on how to operate it although they look generally similar on the outside. All we are trying to ask is how to get the waveform generated because no matter what buttons we push, we couldnt get the wave to appear on the meter. So we seeked the attention of the replacement class's tutor for help. He came over, and started telling us about how if this is a working environment, we wouldve be in serious problems because we couldnt ADAPT. Again and again whenever we're really stucked with a problem and we've spent over 10+ minutes just trying to solve a minor problem, he came over and patronized us like there is no tomorrow. I swear, he really did patronize us that BADLY.
 
What is WRONG with all these peoples? After which when the replacement class and their tutor left, we're left behind with ourselves and our beloved Mr. Lee for the lab. The all of us love you Mr. Lee. Your tutorial classes and labs rocks. Speaking of which, i'd really prefer my Lab Demonstrator, Ms Yeoh more than any other lab demo, and for your info, your new hair colour is nice!
 
- Fifth -
 
My friend actually commented our male chemistry lecturer is very much like a womaniser, and that most girls would drool...i mean smile when having eye contact with him. I dare not look into his eyes at all, gives me the creeps and the wrong signals.
 
- Sixth -
 
LesGuoNelle is indeed still around. We still have that one wavelength that sometimes others cant pick up, of which i'd thought its long lost lol. Just how Jan told the other 2 of us about the electrifying "zap zap" thing, we laughed out REALLY loud like no one's business in the cafeteria, until the point that even someone from the beverage booth would hear us.
 
That is all, another entry into my blog and still writing!

Because words cannot be taken back

What a stressful week! But i believe i can make it through and will see the light after all these hardship, like i remember i saw somewhere saying "no matter how dark the night, morning always come".
 
They do. Miracles do happen.
 
Just a minute ago YewJin asked me to buy cake for Ken's birthday on Tuesday. You know you just dip my heart into a beaker full of 5M of concentrated HCl solution? Jealous. I've never once have a birthday party where i dont have to worry about. Thats what you get for having a constantly shifting environment, and friends never stay long. They always stay for one year, and then leave and i'll have to start all over again.
 
Happened in Form 1.
Then Form 2.
Then end of O level.
Then 3 months in AC Junior College.
Then 6 months in Nanyang JC.
Then 1 year in Ausmat.
Then its coming again after year 1 of Engineering since we'll be streaming into different courses.
 
Funny how everytime i mention that people are not staying long they'd find it no big a deal. Thats what i get for having a pasttime of mines different than most people. Anyways, suddenly the idea of time machine pops out in my head, and i'd think what would i do with that.
 
I guess right now i only have 2 things in mind, firstly is to reverse back into time and take back what i tell to one of my friend. We're near strangers now and there has been a lot of misunderstanding. I'm not even sure what is going on.
 
Second is to...I just changed my mind. I guess i'll just stick to that one move. That is the painful part, that my mind is constantly changing its mind depending on every small details that occured, and its pretty tiring. Honestly, its not like there hasnt been enough stuff going in my head already.
 
...because words cannot be taken back, and no deeper regrets can take you back in time.
 
Sometimes you just wish that human are loveless vessels. Thats all, back to reality and rushing for my Structures Project Slides.
