New Template

Changed d blog template....I guess I hv notin better 2 do than gatal2 tangan change stuff :P

It's sorta plainer than d older one bt I guess dat helps in its loading speed. I get really pissed when I visit blogs wif lots & flashy2 stuff (hey, dun point @ my old blog layout ah) so I end up hitting d stop button & reading plain text.

Anyway, d new layout's a bit simpler & neater (IMHO). D blog lists hv been recategorised.
  • Not-So-Typical-Updates: Mostly funny/sarcastic blogs.
  • Rajin Update Sokmo: Blogoholics.
  • Life's Ongoings: Bloggers usually updating readers bout stuff happening in their life.
  • Dunno When They'll Finally Update: These ppl rarely update but sumtimes, it's worth d wait...
Well, I'm sorta lazy (I always am anyway) 2 update u guys/gals wif stuff so....l8r la :P

Sem 2, 1st Week

D 1st wk in Sem 2 has passed. I can't control d urge 2 cheer myself up wif d fact dat I'm in Yr1 Sem 2 degree while being still 17 @ currently :P

Anyway, d 1st wk was so-so la. Most of our lecturers are sorta...well...."experienced". And....based on my observations (my opinions only ah), d female lecturers dis sem outdo d male ones.

Lecturer 1: Male. Boring & syok sendiri. Whole class happily clapped @ d end of his 1st lecture.

Lecturer 2: Male. Turtle-ish, in lecture speed, style & looks (neck sticks out in a turtle way). 2 gila clazmates attempted 2 clap 2 cut his lecture but got no sambutan from classmates. I guess dey were 2 sleepy 2 respond.

Lecturer 3: Male. Pretty nice guy. We finally have a decent male lecturer dis sem.

Lecturer 4: Female. Very cheerful, loud, energetic. I dare say she's one of our best lecturers so far.

Lecturer 5: Female. Manages 2 make an otherwise boring subject into an interesting one. Doesn't mind using time to feed us wif additional info. Doesn't mind us grabbing our fren's answers when we're called out 2 answer stuff on d whiteboard.

Lecturer 6: Still unknown since Saturday's a holiday. Ya lor....UTAR ada kelas on Saturday :(

So...how will dis sem be? I sure hope I can regain my foundation grades. I know for sure dat 3.1 is soooooo not up to my standards.

Why ah?

I dunno where dis question suddenly came from.....

Why do supermarkets have a separate section for pork-based stuff? To respect certain religions.

Why don't supermarkets have a separate section for beef-based stuff? I seriously dunno.

Can any1 enlighten me?

Missing Them Again

Listening to The Corrs album (old CD I grabbed from Kemaman)......reminds me of secondary school, tuition, MTG, outings wif Ainul (dun get me wrong).....then all d memories start flooding in....

I miss u all. I miss our times together. I wan a god damned super huge reunion.

I can't believe I'm crying now.

Here We Go Again....

Ok.....long time no blog....nid 2 release so tension & marah2 abit.

Wat da hell is up wif our education system? Merely applying cosmetic changes in hopes of fooling d public eh?

Evry yr, we hear students & parents lamenting bout their kids' lack of scholarships.
Evry yr, some smart ass in d ministry will come up wif a lame excuse.
Every yr, Malaysia will make a great fuss over this matter, only to forget it after a few months.

I'm sick of dis cycle.

Imagine d scenario as a race. Participants can choose hw many laps dey wanna run & are graded on hw fast dey run each lap. After d recent complains, d race organizers say: "Hey, let's limit d number of laps to a max of 10 only! Dat'll b fair!"

Ahh....but then....wat's d point of limiting d number of laps? Wif d current standards, there will be thousands of ppl hu score A's in all their laps. Here's one more thing: How da heck will any1 kno d organiser/judge punya judgement scheme? Are d timekeeper & judges really unbiased in selecting d winners of the race? Why are so many ppl capable of faring well in d race? Is the track so small & easy dat many ppl are scoring? Or....can those thousands of scorers really run well? Here's one more matter I'm sure many ppl are asking: Why do some ppl hu didn't manage 2 run so well in d race get multiple medals (scholarships) while others hu run better get nothing?

I was a straight A's student in secondary school but honestly, I doubted myself. Heck, I still question myself occasionally. IMHO, I dun tink I would hv scored dat well if d honest standards were used. However, seeing my recent degree results in uni (3.1179) which definitely aren't among my classmates' top scores, I felt happy. At least I know whr I stand. No false impressions bout hw I did in d exams. D amount of satisfaction I gained from dat is far more than getting great results bt wondering why I didn't get the scholarship I "deserved".

There's no point beautifying d race track. No point merely claiming dat all d racers are judged equally regardless of the teams dey represent. No point issuing statements in order to calm the public, hoping dat dey'll forget d issue after awhile. There's no point faking it all. After all, the angry racers treated unjustly will simply go represent another country, earning big bucks there. When u call dem bak, claiming dat dey are unpatriotic, tink again. Dey won't forget how their own country treated dem.

UTAR....ARGH!!!

Of all the things 2 ruin my holidays....

1) When I try 2 check my results on9, UTAR says: "You are not authorised to view this page.". Then, hu's goin 2 c my results? UTAR alone? Hw am I supposed 2 kno my results?! Can't dey jz admit dat d results r being processed instead of faking an authorization?

2) D timetable which our clazmates planned so carefully has been screwed up by UTAR. Las time UTAR kononnya said we cn plan our timetable 2 suit our convenience. So.....after picking a nice schedule, imagine our shock that UTAR changed it! Wat's d point of planning d darned timetable anyway?

Before: No classes on Friday.....woohooo!!!
After: One class daily on Thursday, Friday, & Saturday.

Some blame d smart asses in our course hu didn't register 4 nex sem's subjects, causing d officers 2 make alterations 4 dem. Some blame d officers 4 finding out last minute dat d time slots dey allocated weren't even free for d lecturers. Some (I'm most probably included in dis group) blame UTAR.

Let me remind u wat d most popular (among students) UTAR slogan is: UTAR.....my choice.

Unfortunately, it seems dat even our choices regarding our studies require sudden meddling from UTAR. Let's change the slogan to: UTAR....my-initial-yet-not-final-choice.
