E, The Serial Killer

E stands for ELECTRICAL! The serial killer! I hate it so much that I feel like I'm gonna fail in my second semester.

I'm not majoring in Electrical and yet I am forced to take this unit for this semester. It's not like I have not known what I've wanted to major but I have to take up this subject that I hated the most even during the high school days. Electrical is never my good friend. Back in those days where there are electrical topics in Physics, I despised em so so much that I don't even bother mastering them. I shall regret now for not putting in effort to understand circuits which lead me to problems like this. I told myself that I'll be able to sail through this semester but it's only my second week and I'm already having unsolved questions about electrical.

Oh dear electrics, I know I depend on you so much in my daily life but why can't you be simpler? Why is it so hard to understand you? Just when I thought I can do it after solving the first few questions, I was hit by tougher questions which bring my hopes down to the ground. (At ground V=0)

Ahhh damn it!!!

I better make sure my other units are strong.

I shall make time to study electrical......AGAIN....

First Week

I wanna complain! My meaning of complain here is to rant. There's so much to do in Semester 2! Gosh. Preliminary work for labs, assignments, tutorials, quizzes. Oh man. Can you people slow down? 4 quizzes for one subject one shot and another quiz which isn't working?

And finally my lecturer uploaded the slides. That means I get to recap what I've learnt in class. Done that and attempted my very first tutorial. I was actually enjoying doing them for the first few questions until I reach the back part. My oh my. It is getting more and more complicated and frankly, electrical? Never my favourite. =( I'm not even majoring in that later but still have to suffer through this unit.

Life sucks.

A note to myself. Please commit a few hours a day to self-study. And it's a MUST-DO! Unless I want to fail which I CERTAINLY DO NOT WANT TO!

So, STUDY!

2nd Half of My First Year

Howdy readers!

It's been a week since I came back to KL. The first night was the most tiring as I have to unpack my bags, clean up a bit of my room even though I've cleaned a week before, and to meet up with my friends for the last time before classes resume. That took a whole lot of my energy which resulted in me feeling so lethargic in uni from 8am to 4pm the next day.

On Monday itself, I thought I could take a nap after class but not. Continued cleaning my room and prepared myself for another outing with my high school buddies. Still very tired but being able to see my friends tops it all. I was so reluctant to drive home when I was in my friend's house and actually have the thought of sleeping over but knowing that I have classes starting from 8am again, I was forced to go home. Summarily, that's my Monday.

The fair but fat me. Jamie GAGA!

And that was taken in my friend's room. Just for fun and laughter.

For the rest of the week, my energy was almost replenished! Simply because my class started at 10am on Wednesday and only for this week. =( How sad. 

Thursday was fun. I mean it. Despite waking up at 7am just for an hour class at 8am, I enjoyed my day. I went to Meeples for the first time with the other If I Die Young Taiping members. For those who used to study in Taylor's or Inti should have known about Meeples, the European Boardgame Café. And later on, I got to savour pizzas! In contrary, it wasn't a really good day though, having both phones dead and no internet connection, unable to contact anyone or to be contactable. 

So this is it, my first week of uni life. 

Ciaoz

P/s: My hair is now 4 to 5 inches shorter. =(

Quick Return

I'm back again. I'm pretty surprised that the next blog will be so soon, like TODAY! Just feeling a little bit bored and I do have to do some packing but right now I've done most of em. The rest of it I need some time to think and recall what I actually need. I wrote a note and I lost it thus, memory power is being tested now.

It's Friday and that means I have only 2 days left before the second semester commences. Hectic life is lying ahead of  me. And what makes me sadder is my high school buddies are meeting up today in KL and I'm still stuck in Taiping. Geez. I desperately want to join in the fun. I miss them so much that I want to turn back the time where we were still in high school. Seeing each other everyday, endless fun and jokes.

Oh well, I truly miss my girls.

Not An Early Riser

I truly love sleeping and it's never easy for me to wake up before 10 am during the holidays. Exceptionally for schooling period, my body can be adjusted to awake by the time that I'm supposed to. But right now I'm still on holiday and I'm forced to wake up before 10 and also FORCED to sit in front of my laptop since then. 

WHY SO?

It's time to adjust my timetable again. This is one thing I dislike about starting a brand new semester in university. We have to fight for server, fight for classes and what's worse is when you don't get the slots that you've wanted and ended up having everything so cramped up. I should be thankful that I am free on Friday but Wednesday will be my worst day ever! 5 hours straight of classes without any second of break except during the transition of classes and that also I need to prepare my own breakfast so that I can actually eat while walking to my class. Geez. I'm picturing myself doing that and it appears to me that I look like some nerd who doesn't have time to even eat.  

So, it took me one hour or more to actually load the webpage with my eyelids so heavy and stomach growling. After trying for a gazillion attempts, finally someone showed me another link which links me directly to the page and he saved my life! Okay, my time and energy to be exact. I was so happy that I nearly forgot to check my slots properly and was smiling from ear to ear until someone asked me to check my slots and dayummmnn, I did not get my preferred timetable approved! That means I have to look thoroughly again and pick only the remaining classes which aren't popular among the students. Well, I'd prefer classes with lesser students so that the tutor can pay attention to almost everyone of us. 

Dear lecturer/tutor,

Please be nice to us and don't torture us. I know assignments are a must-do and I'm not complaining about that. What I want is you to help us in every ways and make sure we truly understand what's delivered. I love my tutors from the last semester and hoping for the same one this time. That way I can aim higher for my exams unlike the one I got now. =(

On top of that, I have another 5 days left in Taiping. All I'm going to miss is the smooth traffic, the home-cooked food, the hometown food, the fresh air, the relaxing life, my huge comfortable bed and most importantly my family. No one for me to talk to in KL like how I talk to them. I can't shout, "I'm HOME!!" whenever I reach home. I can't talk to anyone from the kitchen all the way to the master bedroom. I can't be silly and blab whatever I want. I can't use my dialects. Mannnn, just realised there's plenty of stuff that I cannot do when I'm in KL. So restricted. 

 

And KL has such traffic lights. Guess we need to swerve a little when we wanna head straight.

Don't Have To Read

Hello guys!

I know it's been already a month since I last blogged. I just couldn't find things to write about. In this return, I don't have things to tell either. LOL. My life is just plain boring.

Well, Valentine's Day has passed. So, couples out there, how did you guys celebrate that day? And to those singles, I bet you guys had fun too right? As for me, it was just a simple dinner with my loved one. Nothing much went on but I enjoyed my day cause of the company.

Kick that aside. No elaborations.

The only thing I'm looking forward now is university commencement! I don't like studying but that's the only thing that I can do during these four years where my main focus will be. Ahh.. Three months are gone just like that. I remember how much I dreaded for long holidays since I'll be only staying at home all the time. I survived this time without doing anything! This might be the cause of my laziness. I need my mojo back alright? Nerd Jamie, come back to me soon.

Till then.

I believe I'll have something to blog about when uni starts. For the time being, it's all about ranting.

Days Before CNY

Hello guys! I'm back! Still on holiday but due to limited internet connection, I rarely blog already or I can say I NEVER blog already until this second.

Happy Chinese New Year everyone! Better late than never right? =)


Few days before CNY, I met up with two of my high school buddies, Jivitha and Suit Mei. Gathered in the old and boring Taiping Sentral again (well, that's the hottest spot for youngsters I can say.) We chit-chatted for hours and started playing cards to kill time. (damn. i can't blog properly. Can't feel the flow D:)

Playing cards in public. =)

Let's skip to the part that I wanted to highlight....Jeng...Jeng...Jeng....BOATING! Yes, that was a random decision and was persuaded by Mei. I'll just show you guys some pictures since I don't have much time to blog now.

Scroll down!

Rowing further from the dock. Teeheee. Bad rowing skill at first. 

Say ChEESE! 

In the middle of the lake. 

Look at where we are heading to. The fountain in the middle of the lake!

We're that far from dock!

Dream come true! 

Silly faces =D

Goodbye Taiping Lake Garden!

And there. We've rowed that far! Mission accomplished. =) 

See you people again! 

I'll be back to blog more often alright!

Before I Forget

Hi guys! I know this might have the been the longest hiatus even though I'm very free at home. The blogging mojo has all gone. I've tried blogging a few times, opening up a new post, never finish writing them and chucked them in the drafts. I guess till now I have like 10 pending posts in the draft which I doubt I'll ever continue writing them and post it up since they're all old stories.

Well, I'm still on holiday up till next year and that's a pretty long break right? Blame Australia for having such long summer. By the way, I'm not studying in Australia, just so happen to get myself educated in an Australian university locally. I truly miss studying and I must have sounded stupid to have said so. My friends are asking for longer holidays and here I am complaining to have shorter breaks just so I can fill up my time with something more beneficial like studying (since I don't get to work).

Let me bring you guys back a few days. I went for the Aladdin Musical Show, conducted in Sunway Lagoon Surf Beach with my mother, sister and my bfriend (when I typed b it's up to you to think whether he/she is my best or boy or bad or whatsoever that comes across your mind). It was awesome and thanks to @MyDKualaLumpur (you can check this out in twitter) for sponsoring us to watch the show. Before entering, I embarrassed myself in front of the man-in-charge by filming a video based on his request. Even though it was uploaded in twitter, fortunately not many of my friends knew about this or else where can I hide my face!? Ratings for the show? It was a 4.5 star rating. Acting was good, dancing was splendid and singing was marvelous. No joke. They're that good. For photos, guess I'll just get them all and post in a new blog post. Let the picture do the talking that time.

Another reason why I'm still blogging here right now at this hour is because of my sister's request. She was asking for a blog post from me and here you go sis! I would also like to update my blog before I get disconnected from the world without boundaries for 1 to 2 weeks.

During this holiday, I have depended on the Internet so much to fill my free time when my friends are not around to read some news, stay connected with my friends, to check out my friends' life on Facebook, tweet, read blogs, check email and also to look up for guitar chords. (okay I guess you guys are not interested in what I do online.) at one point I told my mom that I can't survive without Internet. (oopsie)

2011 is about to end in approximately another day. How fast time flies. I'm growing another year older and one thing that bothers me. Will the apocalypse be true? Will my life end just there? Many have told me that it will not happen. I just wanted to see what are the responses to the prophecies made. Part of me agrees that it will not happen so soon. Maybe in another 10 years time? Wow, if it happens in another ten years time, I'll be dying with my entire family including my parents and my kids and my husband. Happy family dying hands in hands. (what is wrong with me for talking about stuff like that)

Oops it seems like my post is getting longer and longer. This might be the effect of not blogging so often. All of a sudden I have tons of things to pour but it's bedtime now. I shall turn in now.

Goodnight readers! See you all again!

With love,
Jamie.

Temperamental Lady

This is not a serious post. I've been wanting to blog about my past events/activities but in the current state of mind, I don't feel like doing so. Been mentally affected as well as emotionally. Swallowing down the pain without whining and learning to keep everything to myself. At least only I know the pain and it won't affect the others. At times I thought of giving up my life but come to think of it, why waste such a wonderful life despite going through all the dejections and disappointments? The downside does not worth your life instead make them the lessons that you're supposed to learn from. Dislike the mistake? Amend and alter your behavior or mind-set.

Just so you know I'm not ready to face next week. I know I can't avoid the painful truth for long. I can escape for one or two days but not forever. Still, I don't have a good feeling about it. I've been trying to keep it from my thoughts but I failed to do so. When I'm alone my mind will wander to that subject and not to mention my mind is thinking about it now. It's more upsetting to receive the outcome than doing em.

Date me peeps. I'm back in town and boring myself to death soon.

Love,
The temperamental young lady.

Twilight Saga: The Breaking Dawn Part 1

Twilight Fans! Have been so excited about the twilight breaking dawn right? Now your dreams come true. Today is the official release! So have you guys watched yet? Well, I did.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of twilight but I think the story is pretty okay so far not until I saw today's movie. I would say it's pretty boring cos there's too little dialog and too many kissing scenes. PG13? I think they should categorize under 18SX.

So as many of you know, Bella married Edward and had a baby. The funny part here is during their honeymoon. From the honeymoon, Bella found out that she can conceive a vampire's baby and her life was at stake since she's too weak to keep the baby. Somehow, they manage to figure out what the baby wants which is to drink human blood. The part where Bella broke her spine was pretty scary. You can actually feel the pain!

Back to my personal story, this might be the last movie this year. No more after that when I return to my peaceful hometown.
