But when it comes to these sort of things........I'd have to be doing the real thing than just reading it from paper..........and as my gut told me since last night,my task today was to set the engine valves.That meant either very low or no marks for me at all coz of all the practical classes I missed was that particular one and the last thing I could ever do even if my life depends on it would be reading and memorizing automotive tasks without looking at the engine.
Of course,theoretically,I would know that valves involves pistons and combustion but to set it and to somehow know what BDCT meant and still not able to convince my groupmates that we've been doing it all wrong is just a bit hard to believe.Doesn't matter,it's all done now.I'm just gonna have to study for the theory test next week.........same time,same place..........will be missing the workshop...... :/

carbu-what?
The carburetor......ya know,the thing that blends fuel with air for internal combustion in the engine?The creation of fuel injections almost wipe it out completely.Almost..........Nevermind.........
I am just trying to be prepared for tomorrow's presentation.We're not given topics.Instead,we have to choose a topic ourselves.One that is NOT taught in class.Hence,the carburetor.With the help of my groupmates who are engineering students.Hehe.......
I wasn't trying to be the smartypants who chose this topic.I just thought it makes an interesting topic since most cars run on fuel injection engines these days.Besides,everyone said the topic is alright......
Been sick today.....this morning.......couldn't get up.Didn't get up till about 11:48am-ish.That's almost noon.But I got up anyways.Didn't get much work done.In fact,I didn't get any work done at all.Can't think properly with this headache.

pekopon-jin!
Last night was a blast!Shu and I got tickets to the 3rd season of PGL The Musical about a month ago,the night finally came and inspite my crazy schedule and all the crappy things that's been going on about school,I am just glad that we both enjoyed ourselves ^_^
I went to watch the musical last year but I sat higher up at the balcony.This time around,Shu picked some suh-weet spots for us.Got to to watch the play up- close.I could actually see (and hear) the musicians play live music throughout the entire show!And of course,I saw every single detail of the costumes and props!
Got home at about midnight and I think I finally got some sleep at about 1am.Got up at 6:45am this morning for my automotive skills class at 8am.Now,I am studying for the midterm paper tonight.Maybe I should sleep-in for a bit tomorrow morning and then start studying for my other midterm paper on Monday.......then again,I do have a presentation at noon on that same day.Hmm......I guess I'll be kissing that sweet ol' sleep-in goodbye!
Oh yeah!And that DVD assignment is due on Tuesday!
Watashi wa penat desu!

irashimase!
Was on campus at 8am this morning only to find out that no one was at the automotive skills booth.The group leaders fail to inform us to head over to the workshop to get some tools and car parts before going to straight to the booth.It doesn't matter.All my instructors were there anyways.Managed to help out a little.There was games and all but by noon-ish,I got super tired,hungry and sleepy so Shu and I headed out to get food and went home.
Shu shot some arrows at the archery club booth.We saw some performance by the wataniah club.It was kinda weird and funny but it was entertaining.Of course,I enjoyed watching the performance by the gamelan club.Well,it wasn't a gamelan performance but the same people performed music using all those traditional musical instruments.Shu and I tried to climb up the ladder tower thingy built by the scouts but after on step,I decided to go back down coz I do have problems with heights.Shu then totally nailed the ps2 car racing game back at my booth but we had to leave anyways so after the preliminaries.
I slept from 4pm-ish all the way to about 6:30pm.I couldn't sleep last night.I don't know whether it was because it was too hot or whatever but as soon as I was about to doze off,Rashid called me asking me to open the house door.It was 12:50am.He got back from jamming.Shu was already fast asleep.
Well,getting up at 6:30am wasn't so bad after all.I think my day went pretty well.Too bad I couldn't stay on till the end of the whole event on campus today.

seeing shades of sakura pink

It's such a beautiful flower and it is definitely the perfect theme!
I've been designing......thingys........invitation cards.......rings.........haven't gotten around to the clothes yet............
Fell asleep on my bedroom floor in the afternoon.I've been supertired and supersleepy.I am getting a bit sick of campus these days.Finally picked up the acoustic guitar and worked on some new tunes.
Shu's friends told him they enjoyed our performance and our songs the other night.That's good.We've been wanting to hear what people have to say about our songs rather than watch us perform only coz we're playing music.WE NEED a BLOODY DEMO!Actually,I was thinking of getting an EP out but our songs are a wee bit too hard to choose in order to be put into an EP coz every song is different.We'll sort that out later in the week.
I am on duty to look after the automotive skill booth on Saturday.8am-1pm.Since we only have 2 time slots to choose from,I figured that Sunday nights are always meant for jamming sessions.It's good enough that we were given a choice.I'm really trying to help out my mates.I just don't get those who'd use midterms as excuses.WTF?!Everyone has midterms and important things to do as well!
