Wah.........so nice lor to be able to just kick back a little and know that I don't really have to get up in the mornings as a routine anymore.I was beginning to feel a little sick of the semester halfway through coz I seriously hate routines and it's hard to get up when you haven't really slept properly the night before.Not to mention the backdated assignments and my health not being at its best.It sorta became suckier as the semester ended.I just hope I've learned enough to make it all worth the time and energy I've spent.
Foxburr-san belanja-ed me takoyaki a while ago.He's been wanting to take me there for weeks but we haven't actually had time to go.Finally we did and them takos are ever so yummy!
Oh yeah,the Panda's gear box jammed up AGAIN.It just got back from the workshop a few days ago.Luckily,we were already in TTDI when that happened.Still,it sucks to know that most of the time I spend with that car usually ends up with Shu and I waiting for my folks and a tow truck.
The presentation yesterday morning was funny.Before my groupmates arrived at the class,I was talking to Yunus.He said his groupmates ditched him so he did some analysis on his own.He didn't wanna present coz he said it would be embarassing to go up front and talk about something completely alien from the research carried out by groupmates.His turn finally came and he presented coz his groupmates gave him a paper with the parts he had to present.
Something funnier happened later after the class was over.My groupmates told me that Yunus was arguing with a girl outside the class.What happened was that he got offended by that girl coz she was laughing and talking to her friends as he was presenting.Of course it's rude but I didn't think he'd take it that far.Seriously,I think it sucks even more to be performing with my band on stage and there's absolutely not respond from the crowd.
Anywho,that wasn't really the event of the day.Shu found some stuff on the cellphone he's currently using (which is not his coz he lost his cellphone) that turned out to be quite disturbing.So disturbing that I didn't bother to see.He ended up deleting them all since it was such a disturbing experience to have seen such things.I shall not mention names but I'd like to ask this-WHY?! And of course........eeeeuwie!

gearbox failure
Nothing scares the shit outta me more than reading "gearbox failure" on the indicator screen while driving!Yes,yes.....it's hard to go about with machines which are smarter than you even when they're not designed in such ways.
*sigh*
Was on my way to class this morning.Shu drove while Ash was in the back seat.We got to the toll house at about 9:35am-ish and just as we passed the booth,the indicator beeped and read out "gearbox failure".That meant that the car wouldn't let us shift into any other gears including setting it to neutral.
*double sigh*
Shu managed to pull over on 2nd gear.There was no way (IN HELL) that we would be able to reset the gearbox (coz Fiat would lose their customers otherwise) and even if we do know how to do it,we might risk resetting the entire system.
So there we were stranded on the roadside from 9:45am all the way to 11:30am.Called my mum coz I didn't wanna risk damaging the car.She was trying to get our mechanic to get a tow truck.Since the car is a regular front wheel drive and it's locked in 2nd gear,we had to wait for a tow truck that could pull the car up instead of having to push it up onto the platform.
Amin Reza decided to cover for me for the quiz this morning.I owe him one.Missed my EAP class at 2pm coz I was getting sick from my empty stomach and the heat and all.Shu was sick and Ash decided to ditch his 2pm class since everyone else voted to have brunch and rest at home till about 2:30pm.
I didn't get much sleep coz I promised my lecturer I'd present my project today.Got a pretty good bashing for about an hour of class time.I worked my ass off (with Shu's help) for that project and it still wasn't good enough.Maybe I failed to cover all the flaws.Maybe I just didn't see the whole thing the way my lecturer did.Oh well.......
Hung around with Shu for a bit.We saw some pretty awesome mini guns which loads on ballbearings!I'd opt for the 0.25mg ballbearings over the 0.12mg!To be fair,both Shu and I shall have to use the same gun.We opted for the AK-47 mini!Yey!New toys to be added to our wishlist!And who are we planning to shoot?.........hehehe.........
P.S.:I think Kecik is still a bit upset with what I did to him this morning.Hopefully,he'll get over it and start hanging out like always again ;)
*sigh*

sunrays through the clouds
Another rainy day.Another time getting soaked in the pouring rain from having to run to the car.Another lepak session with Lina-san after Mazlan-sensei's class.
It was funny how I bumped into Israr and asked if it's safe to run to the car with all the lightning and stuff.I don't trust my slippers (coz I doubt if the bottoms are rubber) I might have been the perfect conductor for the highly charged electricity to earth!
No,I was NOT struck by lightning and condemned to doom!
WTF?!
I am officially screwed.NOT LITERALLY!Got up this morning and felt like the whole world is gonna come down on me.It didn't.Except for the part where I realized how crappy my performance is for certain classes,I think my day turned out pretty well.
For starters,Mazlan-sensei did NOT kill me for NOT showing up for class last week!I have a particularly good reason for that.NOT an excuse!
I enjoyed Nadia's presentation.I don't have the guts to do what she did for her presentation!Kudos to Nadia-san! ^_^ No,I did NOT volunteer to present for next class.Not up for it.And NO,I do NOT volunteer.It takes too much effort.
Haha!
Was talking to Lina about men and infidelity and how stupid they are when it comes to doing what's right. *sigh* It's hard to speak to people who haven't the slightest idea what they are talking about.With weak understanding and poor arguements,they can never make me understand what it is they learn and what they fail to comprehend. *more sighing*
And then,my mum was crying after watching the clip of that 15-year old kid who got beat-up by his seniors in school.Keywords:unbecoming,uncivilized,lack of civic consciousness.Failure in education system?Maybe.But what exactly shapes the mentality of the society?How do you educate people who cannot be taught anymore?
For example,the difference between someone who is educated and someone who is not,someone who wants to be educated and someone who refuse to be educated.Upbringing.The word justification is very subjective.Maybe different people have different ways in justifying themselves.
Some people feel like violence is a solution.Some people don't.At one end,my sister and I thought boarding schools are fucked up coz the kids are pressured into getting themselves "disciplined" but actually they are not.That isn't entirely true.I came from a day school.The kids are still fucked up.
I remember my disciplinary teacher back in school told us all that we are a bunch of cowards for having to bring our "gang" along when it comes to confrontations and shit like that.Why risk getting yourself and your future for one stupid minor problem?Why not make an everlasting impact to that other person?Why not call upon Hell Girl?<---NOT a solution.
I think the objective of getting even is to come out as the winner WITHOUT losing anything.I am almost done thinking of all the shit that goes about in this world I live in.Like the other day in the news when all these so called "rempits" beat the shit out of a dude.Having to deal with such creatures,you have to at least try to see things the way they do.I can't.I am not one of them and I refuse to see what they see.To me,they are as unbecoming as any human being can be.I am not helping at all.I know.
On the not-so-brighter side of the world,went to see Kamal at the hospital but he was alseep so my mum,my brothers and I just left the tin of bicuits with a note at his side and left.I hope he gets better SOON!RadioEdit CANNOT afford to lose THE guitarist!
