Back to uni

By blueskyz
Its been a few days since i've reached KL. Weather is not that good as it is also raining almost everyday and sometimes, cats-n-dogs. Nothing much changed and nothing i would assume. Lets begin from where i left off.

On last Friday (13/7), directly on Friday the Thirteen, unlucky or unruly or un-whatever day it was, i received my last sems results. There, while logging into the webpage to view my results, the adrenaline rush, the tension, the sweat and all the usual stuffs you experience during those periods overcame me. Inch by inch the page loaded (hail to the lagging streamyx line that night), i breath in relief, as i had passed all my subjects and more importantly, scored much better than i thought i would be. Nothing is more satisfying to look at the results that does not really reflect what you had done (really, i got to admit that i did not study that much due to certain constrain last sem). Anyway, the celebration begins in earnest =D

On Sat's morning, i begin to thread my steps to the airport, knowing that i had unfinished my FF12 (............i am going to regret this). To my horror, the long queue, the who-knows-how arrangement of counters that only make the whole place congested, and moreover, show the ugliness of certain people that in-order to make haste, they selfishly crash into the line from the sides without even thinking about the people lining way in the back, somemore they have the guts to even grumble at you. Well, i just have to fight fire with fire and do anything i could to prevent such selfish people from gate-crashing from the sides and well, succeeded in frustrating them /gg. No delay this time and finally, able to get on the plane smoothly without any incidence.

On the way back, the weather is terrible with omnious dark clouds outside when we are arriving at the peninsula. The plane goes up and down, much like a roller coaster and thrilled anyone of us inside. As this is AirAsia, the strange sounds emitted from the plane, especially a loud one from one of the engines really gave some of us a fright. Nonetheless, we reached KL safely in one piece.

Then, came the opening of the uni, a new campus, a new life.....................and what better combination to be lost and late for the first class on the first day of uni. The new campus actually looked more like a uni campus compared to the old one and no more do i have to go deep underground for my labs sessions anymore. One ingenious way from the engineers of should i say, the planners is to places all the main lecture theaters underground, which means, no more reception for handphones =_=" The library is large, but still empty, the cafeteria looked more like a uni one, but with less seats and moreoever, i wonder why they placed air-cons when it was open air. Then came the com lab. As promised, they should be more computers for students. Yes, they are, but there are none in the science faculty unlike in other faculty and we had to walk all the way to the library to use the PC. I would upload some of the pics i've taken in the new campus later on.

And for the lateness of updating the blog, its due to the hectic life here. From the first day of class, there are already assignments and works passed out to us. Nothing more better than a hectic first week in uni. So until the next blog, hoped that i would not stressed out so early into the new sem.

One more thing, do visit a photo site of mine where there are pics taken uploaded from time to time into HERE
 

Long rest, yet lazy time

By blueskyz
Been a while since i've been here. Dusty and somehow, empty. Currently having my end semester's holiday, but its short since this is only winter holiday. Came back to Sabah for 2 weeks, and though back, well, attacked by the lazy bug and since then, been quite lazy and slacking around only =P

Well, let me bring you all back to time right after my last posts. The weather is cold and snowy, it was dark and gloomy and i held on tightly to my "textbook" rifle, dodging bullets and shelling from all my enemy "subjects". However, i'd been hit and thrown afar, yet i tried my very best to pull myself back and continue to charge towards the enemy's fortress. Finally, i've managed to pull through and manage my escape from the battlefield, but in the process, left myself deeply wounded and scarred. Well, this should sum up how my exam period were. Tried my best and hope it would be a good ending. However, for a hint, my results are releasing on 13/7.......... sound familiar? Yeah right cause its Friday the 13th =(

And people always said that when you stress yourself out during the exams, you would experience weight loss. Who says? I somehow managed to add my weight during the exams, thanks to overtime study time, which lead me to a hunger frenzy in the dead of night and a friend taught me the wonders of fast food delivery service =P Ended up eating burgers almost every night.

And right after the exams, everyone suddenly just pop up, suggesting this and that (activities). As usual, there are plenty of cyber cafes and eating outside (yeah, more weight gain). Futsal got cancelled all the time cause lack of people and finally, a party? Well, there was a party as a farewell party to a few of my coursemates who are heading to the Australian campus next semesters. Somehow, it was the boys who are doing all the cooking, and while we are doing grocery shopping, the girls ended up on a shopping spree =_=" Our theme for the dinner is JAPANESE =D And i am not sure whether you can say did the boys did a good job or not. Joshua ended up making a double strip (i meant the entire strip) of wasabi on the sushi and some people ended up choking on his maki-maki. The night went on, either chatting, watching tv or playing cards. And sorry to mention here, Nick was having a bad day (a bit sick) and ended up vomitting in Han Yet's house /gg Dead tired after that.

For the next few days before i flew back to Sabah, it was pretty much boring, walking back and forth to the uni to sort out some stuffs with the course manager and slacking off, hoping to get the deserved rest. Finally, i did went out on to have a movie. Supposedly Sim and Guan Tai was suppose to watch movies with us at the Curve, but somehow, GuanTai got a last minute meeting and could not attend. Ended up me and Foo watching Ocean 13 (This is one hell of a nice movie), then take a walk to IKEA where Foo bought some "furnitures" for the new place ( And speaking of this, i still haven't taken any photos on of my new room. Would do when i am not lazy =P ), and at night, watch another movie (Fantastic 4, not that nice). A night out for a walk ended us up in a pub, ordering beer /gg Went back and boy it was a bad experience (did not get drunk, but have an un-nice effect)

When i did get back to Sabah, well, i was still tired and just slack around. Pretty tough since i got phone calls all the time from people and friends who tried to get me out. And to make matters worst, my relatives from overseas came back to Sabah and i had to visit them and bring them go around.................well, from here, you can tell that i don't really have any nice rest =D Anyway, at least those periods did carry my fat bum off the chair often.

And then to compare, there is not much changes around Kota Kinabalu as yet, except that the road leading to STTSS got some changes. Other than that, everything is still as usual as it is, except that my i finally got a real driving license =D I only realized that my P driving license was expired and i could not drive the car at all (Though i want to, but my mum really insist me not to) Finally got my new license the last few days and now i still have no purpose to drive the car as yet =_=

However, one thing is for sure, i am back to my home, where i felt most comfortable =D And also, my parents had my old bed and chair changed =) Thanks to them too. And finally, i hope all my friends who are having their holidays now to enjoy and have fun. As for those whom i still could not meet them due to the gap in the holiday system, i still hope you all could enjoy yourself and rest to the fullest. As for me, my holidays are almost over now and i am going back to be a baked fish next semesters =D
