First Week of October 2011~

WARNING: LONG POST! PLEASE DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVE HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPEDALIOPHOBIA~

September 2011 ended well. I like the first week of October because one of the days is my Big Day. I had a gathering with my former college Taekwondo friends at SP on the first day of October. It has been 2 months we didn't meet. All of them are working now except me. Not only them, most of my same age friends are now working. I don't know what to say. I should be lucky because I am still a student or I am late to start my working life? But one thing for sure, my real test is just started. I can feel the pressure in my brain. My study life is getting harder each day. It is good to have a gathering with the old friends because at least, I manage to get some updated information about their personal or working life. I was happy to received a gift from my best buddy. It was a good gift and I will use it during the formal day. Thank you Apple! Next day was just a normal day for me. It was a relaxing day for me. I had a fine dinner with my family before I went back to my university. It was a great dinner until my stomach was bloated. When I reached my hostel, I need to clean up my house again. Sometimes, I feel bored to do the house chore by myself. But I have no choice. I don't like my house to be dirty. It was a lone night for me in the room. I don't have the mood to start to find information for my project. the only thing I done was to browsed my Facebook, Twitter and also the Youtube to watched some videos before I sleep. I went out and jogged around my campus during the night for the first time in the new semester. I need to improve my stamina for the next run in November. I saw some of the some of the students were hanging the banners on the road side. The student election is coming soon. But I still cannot feel the election fever, compared to last year one. Next day, I went to the office to meet my project supervisor. My supervisor told me that my project is one of the most easy to do among other students. It is a good news for me? Or it is a bad news for me? During my first class, my lecturer showed a sample of bitumen for the students to see and my classmates managed to tease me with the sample and the name of the sample is Marshall Cake. Nice name with the look of it. When my lecturer asked me for my assistance to solve the projector's problem on the lecture hall stage, some of my classmates wanted to sing a song for me. But luckily, I managed to stop them because I don't want the whole class know that today is my big day. The last class of the day was a bored class for me. There were too much of words that I need to read. It was raining during the evening time but it stopped after the class ended 15 minutes later. Went back to the hostel with my classmates, groomed ourselves for the night dinner. I planned a dinner with some of my classmates together during that night. Thanks to one of my classmate who helped me to book the place to eat. It was my first time to held a dinner with my classmates and it was a buffet dinner. Although there were not much of food varieties but I like the a la carte menu. After the dinner, we went for a karaoke session instead of drinking session. It was my first time to see the ladies to sing in front of me. I was happy that my classmates celebrate my big day together even though it will be the last celebration together. I would to thanks to them for the great night and the gift. And also, I would like to thank those who wished me directly or indirectly. I slept 4 hours only during that night and I need to wake up early on the next morning. I had a laboratory session at 8am. I was so tired and exhausted. It was bad for health if sleep less than 7 hours. During the laboratory session, all of the students were arranged in to 6 groups by the lecturer. I was lucky during that time because I have group members that can do well. I was shocked that when my lecturer said that our report need to be handwritten. It was along time that I didn't write a report by using my own hand writing since my first year of studies. For the readers' information, my hand writing is really 'NICE'. We went to a junction road near to our college building. We need to count the vehicles that pass by the road including those who are cycling for an hour with four interval times. A lot of students looked at us when they drove their cars passed by an wondering what were we doing on the road. Some of them were joking that we were punished by the lecturers for not doing our assignments. It was a good experience for me to learn new things on this experiment and I was lucky because it was a cloudy day for me and the weather was not too hot. My group was the last group to finished the experiment. I think time management is really important and I hope that my group can finish the experiments on time for the next laboratory session. I had less than 40 minutes to have my lunch. The food quality of my university's food court does not improve. Now, I only buy the food to eat from a vegetarian stall because I believe that the stall is the most cleanest among the other stalls. I felt so tired after the whole day of class but I didn't sleep straight away. I started to worry about how to write a good project proposal. I slept early due to tiredness after my dinner. Suddenly, I received a call from a junior. It was a morning call for me during the night time. I almost get angry about it. But luckily I managed to control my temper. I should switch off my phone when I sleep but I have a habit now that I won't switch it off. Thanks to my previous working manager that told me that we should on our phone 24 hours per day unless we are on holiday. =.= Last Wednesday, I had my first class at 11am. Now is the third week of my studies and I still don't have a text book to use for this class. It was bad luck for me because the bookshop is currently out of stock for the book I want and I need to wait until the end of this month for the new arrival books. I have another option which is to photostat the book or borrow the book from the library. I don't like to have a photostat book to study and when I reserve the book from the library to borrow, I couldn't get it because there was a system error occurred and it was really pissed me off. My classmates searched the book at some of the other universities' book shops but they couldn't find it. Now, I need to write my own notes during the class time and it was quite suffering when the lecture speak too fast. I hope I can get the book soon because my first test will be on the end of this month. After the class, I went to library to find some books for my project to refer. I need to start to love to read books and journals because it will help me to do my projects. I realized that my library books are not up to date. A lot of old books. I am not sure that the old books can help me or not. I scared there are a lot of changes for the technology. I went for the last class of the class and I would like to express that I hate the class so much. The lecturer was not prepared to teach the class and blame the notes that are not good to be used. If the lecturer knows that the notes are not good, then why the lecturer should use it now? I missed my old lecturer who taught me this subject before. Now I need to count on my own to study. I need to find other sources to understand the subject. Next day, I went to Putrajaya with my classmate, to submit a letter to an agency for a class site visit. I was bored to become a class representative. I want to have a rest for being a class leader. Meanwhile, the world is mourning about the death of Steve Jobs, a well-known entrepreneur which created the Apple and iPhone. His life should be an example for the new generation because his life was not an easy life to live. My last class finished at 6pm. I had to prepare for the AGM for the chapter that I lead for the past one year. It was relieved that I managed to maintain the legacy of the chapter during my tenure. It was happy and sad moment when I lead the chapter. I learnt a lot from bad to good things. During the AGM, it was quite messy because the classroom that we wanted to use was being occupied by other people and we need to wait for the class to end before we can do our preparation. There was no PA system at that time. But in the end, the AGM organized well. I was happy the alumnus were back to supported the event and also I saw some of new students who supported the event. Now, I am officially retired. Thanks to the EBs for being with me for the past 1 year. I really appreciate their hard work. Good luck to the new EBs. I think I will miss it. But the main thing is, I was free from active in co-curriculum anymore in my university. Yesterday, I need to meet my supervisor back with my other classmates who do their project under the supervisor. I can feel the pressure is getting higher. Most probably, I need to go to a place to get the material on next week with my classmate and need to start to do the laboratory testing. I hope I manage to come back on time before my seniors' convocation day. I am on my own now. I need to do the testing by myself. I hope it goes well. After a briefing on how to write a thesis, I fall sick. Thanks to my careless, I forgot to bring my umbrella when I went to the laboratory during the lunch hour time. It was raining and I got wet. Luckily I have paracetamols with me. I just recovered today. I need to take care of myself for the eight months of war. I haven't finish my project proposal yet. It was 3% done only and the due date of submission will be on next Friday. I hope I can finish it on time. I think I don't have much time to write my blog already. I will try to write if I am free.

Happy October!

Nevermind I'll find someone like you~
