Couldn’t be happier (for a moment)

With Streamyx !!! Yes, I finally got my streamyx and I gotta say it’s way better than my current internet here. It’s expired anyway. Well, sharing with 3 other house mates has gotta be the problem when it comes to downloading. Gotta find a suitable time for downloading shows otherwise other people gonna suffer the slow bandwidth. In the end, all will suffer. The Router.

With Streamyx comes Starcraft. Yup, It’s back in my everyday life, but with control now. I don’t play often now just a couple of games a day or a few days once even but yeah. Starcraft is great! Recently a group of my friends and I have just started our starcraft blog. Nothing up so far but I think it’s gonna be fun doing it. Just learned how to take videos on screen so that would help. Looking forward to it.

For the past 10 days it’s been raining like every freaking afternoon. It really sucks. Washing my cloths on a saturday noon and it started to get dark. Then it started to rain so I had to bring in the cloths to dry indoor using the FAN.

Basically the sky and mountainside has been like this every evening. What a sad sight! I’m missing the nice blue skies with the sun shining through the clouds. Just a while more.. Patience!

My home here has been home to more than just the 5 of us. (living hall) It’s been home to many other life too. Spiders and moths are just a few to name with. There’s a whole catalogue of insects here. Bees, grasshoppers, crickets, ants, moths, praying mantis, spiders, flies, mosquitos, beetles, light bug(always flying around the fluorescent lights), multi legged creatures. What a wide variety of bugs don’t ya think? Spider camping behind the refridgerator.Moth DEAD on the floor. (john mof)

Just learned that my Korean friend’s name is Kim Hee Dong. lol, my other friends always calls him Mr Nose but he doesn’t get it. Most people just call him Shaun. He is one funny person. Always wearing outstanding outfits. Sure to catch your eye. Haha!! One of my lecturer asked the class who blogs about their life in Nottingham. Haha, I was like err.. and she was like I have seen quite a few people blogging about the people they meet and the things they do and the problems they have while in UNI.. my other friend was laughing at me cuz I fit that category so close. haha!!! Btw, there’s a fashion site for people in Nottingham Msia at www.nottilook.blogspot.com Go check it out. A bit weird tho.

Well, that’s all for now… be back this thursday can’t wait to eat Ramly Burger haha!!! I can see the road home

Back to HELP.

One day of Raya holiday and I’ve already gone back to HELP once… Grazy me. Going back there for Ping-pong with my friend Jing. Also met some people juniors and Tai Ko’s in HELP. The place hasn’t changed, still looks bad but the people change. New intakes taking over the scene already. Met a few A-level friends there studying LAW in HELP again. HELP!!!! Played Table Tennis for about 4 hours and at the same time, changed my rubber for my bat to a new one. DAMN it’s nice.
Andro Revolution Fire. What a gay name for a HT rubber. This rubber cost me a small bomb but it’s super nice to use. For those who don’t play Table Tennis you won’t faham. Yang, if you are reading this, you should get this ! haha ! but it’s quite pricey la.. about rm100. Hope this feeling lasts!! haha the Tension of the rubber I mean.

Uni starts next wednesday. So I will have a few days to do some reading and catch up with my studies. Haha, that’s about it for today.

Back for Raya!!!

Well, I’m back home in PJ now..This past 2 days has been kind of crappy ! Had to settle all my Individual and Group Projects. Here’s the list of grades and marks for all 6 modules(subjects) this semester. Not complaining, it’s kinda fun actually.

Financial Accounting – 100% Exam ,
Computer in Business -80% group project (7ppl) , 20% C.lab exam using Excel,
Business Law – 100% Exam ,
Studying Organizations – 100% Individual Assignments,
Entrepreneurship in Business – 40 % individual Assignment, 45% Group project, 15% some online questionnaire, Economics A – 25% individual assignment, 75% exam.

Yeah, that’s what my course outline looks like.. cool huh.. Especially Entrepreneurship… our lecturer wants us to come up with an Blue Ocean Invention !!! She’s got to be kidding me.. If we could do that, We won’t studying in NUBS already !!! ( Blue Ocean means a new invention that’s not even existed before) Well, we actually came up with an idea after doing some group Brainstorming.. Invention = Classified & Confidential.. Hope it’s not out there yet..

Took a picture while taking the exit stairs to the Orange Building ( Social Science) and I got a few snapshots with my k750i on a clear day the week before. Never even had this kind of day for Monday and only awhile for Tuesday(stormed in the evening)

Also last week back at home we had a Birthday dinner to celebrate Vincent’s Birthday at New Paris Restaurant in SS2. for more info you can visit my friends site at www.kinz.wordpress.com . There are some pretty amazing pictures of the food we ate, Not too mention the food was good. Not the greatest though. For some reason, the food there is quite famous. Probably it’s just like home cook food. That’s what I think la…

Recently, a friend gave me this sticker card which was free with some DIGI thing. of the Ratatouille, but looking really Wrong !!! Man, you gotta be kidding me .. HAHAHA!!! cannot disclose the name of the person for safety reasons. haha!!

Things that made my day bad today – Woke up with Flu and slight cough, waited for some ass carpenters supposed to come at 2pm to fix the blinds, but came at close to 4 pm when I was just about to leave for home. Piece of crap, On the way home, had to endure some Crazy Ass Storm like Hurricane. Visibility was like 10 meters I kid you not. Then the past 2 days no Internet. Upon reaching Damansara, Got stuck in jam for 1 hour just to fetch my friends back. Already with the flu. Left at 5.00 reached back 7.30.. This few things made my day horrible.. But after eating dinner and sleeping.. I feel so much better..

Time to look forward into the future..

Into October

October 5, 2007 at 6:34 pm · Filed under UNMC - over there

Not much has changed since my last post, other than tutorials have started and the house that I’m staying now is fully occupied and the kitchen is fully furnished. Although the lawn outside does not seem to be growing.. Have a look!!!

I have 6 modules this semester, most of them are core units which I have to take. The most subjective module to me would most likely be Entrepreneurship and Business. First of all, my lecturer is so full of herself. She’s always saying how she got her Doctorate and always talking about her 2 sons. Well, I guess I can’t blame a mother who is proud of their sons, But Come on.. not every class!! She’s kind of paranoid also from the way we talk to her. haha!! funny lady!! Used to work as a lecturer in the USA for a few years also. Suppose she’s quite the entrepreneur. She even says that” if I can tackle a class of US students, what are you all “. Funny lecturer. This subject has no EXAM!!! HAPPY? no! all the assignments given are your marks. Even MONASH is not as crazy as NUBS of UNMC.

UNMC has been building a new block to cater for more students. When I went in UNMC, the main structure was almost completed already. It looked something like this. The adjacent building to my right is the Library. Pretty small library if you ask me. 3 floors but the floors are small. The 4th floor will be meeting rooms and classrooms.

On a cloudy afternoon after having some Pork Belly pepper soup for lunch outside (delicious), I decided to just hang by the pond while waiting for my friend. Was cloudy, the picture was poorly taken.. Dang ! Forgotten to adjust lighting. Enjoyed the rest of the day sleeping.. What a cool weather with no rain!!!

Aside from UNI, My dad showed me this article from the newspaper… I was like WHAT ON EARTH!!!

Apparently, 4 players cannot get their VISA approved to US so they are not able to represent MALAYSIA in for the WORLD CYBER GAMES in Seattle this OCT.. Wanna see the reasons the US embassy gave? Check this out->> man team for Counterstrike! Imagine a team game without the complete team.. Damn US Govt… Can’t you just let us play ! Must you put politics into Cyber Games too??? PISSing me man.. Well, Discrimination is a big thing in US I reckon.
