Mmhm... Mmhm...

Tuesday.

Wasn't feeling like going to campus after my 15-hour slumber (RARE), but Slade kinda dragged me there to listen to some UK dude from Sheffield giving a talk (I heard that he's gonna start a Games Design course in his headquarters soon).

Got to E-Gallery late (1st time there anyway). Seated myself at the rear row beside a lady lecturer which I've never knew before. Everything was going fine until... she starts to "Mmhm... Mmhm..." all the way. For every sentence that guy has spoken, there'll be 2 or 3 "Mmhm" 's from her. Even no-wing, who sat next to me on the other side, gave me the 'glance' that showed his annoyance to her "Mmhm" 's as well.

What a 'great' lecturer. At least she had the both of us 'entertained' while the guy was 'boredom-talking' in front.

Uh-huhuh...

Oh gosh, what an eyesore to the sight of my eyes...

I mean, the grammar typos I can find around me nowadays...



(1) Found on one of the multiple-choice questions in one of my mid-term papers, supposingly...

'Phase Shift Keying'

...but somehow the person who's behind the paper preparations left out the 'f' in the word 'Shift'...



(2) Found on the gates of one of the restricted areas near campus (and my place too...). Reads...

'
No
Admittance
Authorized
Personnel
Only
'

Uh... I wonder if it meant that authorized personnel should keep away ?



(3) The worse of all. Found at the entrance of one of the toilets in KL Sentral. It reads...

'Beware Of Your Belongings'

Wow. It sounds a lot like my luggage might turn alive and will attempt to bite my butt off.



Welcome to Malaysia...

Typing Trash All The Way For This Week

This starts to drive me crazy.

I mean, the way I'm floating in my life. Imagine I'm the cloud, with the wind driving me anyway it likes.

I hate that feeling, you know. Unable to hold to the reins of my own life. But in the same time, I'm comfortable with THAT feeling, and the dilemma is killing me.

With 2 weeks without blogging, and the feeling's kind of unnatural. I can'r say that I'm without Internet access, because I've stationed my PC in John's house. Environment? Probably. His room was kinda stuffy and hot. Maybe I should find a better environment to solve this problem, or perhaps, fight for the Internet access for my place ASAP.

Not only uninspired, but my senses were dulled. My knifing skills in Dispatch Of Army were rotting, not to mention the bad temper I always get when dealing with scum who doesn't know how to read the room title's that read "KNIFE-ONLY". Speaking of temper, I was emotionally affected recently. Gah, I better vent these off before I hit the headlines in the latest suicide attempt.

Oh yeah, my parents got a new Toyota Innova, and it seems that the sale of the old Wira was aborted because the buyer couldn't afford the loan. Maybe I should ask Mum whether I can take it or not ? :D

High's & Low's Of My Life

My blog has become something like a weekly post now (no Internet access at Cyberia T_T), but better than NOT posting at all.

Last week's another busy one, big events, recruitments for high committees for clubs and the usual 'rituals', classes that's much more effective than lullabies, assignments that sucked life out of us, and as for me and maybe another couple of unlucky guys out there - total isolation from the world.

It was last Thursday that nearly killed me; all of a sudden, I felt that my life totally sucks. Nothing interesting, nothing appealing. 3 classes that day, 2-4pm, 4-6pm and 6-7pm, but I went off in the middle of the 2nd class and totally skipped the last.

The moment I got off, boredom came in like an overwhelming tide. Damn. Maybe it's because of all the excitement from I-Wesak Night the previous night. Being busy, working so hard to help out so the event can be successful, and most of all - I get to meet with various people and talk to them. Sounds weird, right? But that's what this university lacks of - interaction between students. At least this event serves as a platform where most of us can be together and express ourselves. But well, event's still an event, and the thing is that every event will eventually end, as there's impermanence in everything.

After dinner with a couple of friends that Thursday, I went back to my apartment and lied on my bed, feeling bad, with the speakers of my PC playing "Wo Li Kai" (I'm Leaving) from Tarcy Su. Then I slept and woke up at 11pm, after 2 hours of sleep. Then I spent the rest of the twilight hours in reading and slacking around.

I decided, after the first class that ends at Friday noon, that I'll be following a couple of pals to Subang Jaya, skipping the 4pm class that day. At least, I was back in control of my life again. After an enjoyable lunch in one of the Chinese food store in SJ, my 2 pals went for a MtG session in a specialist store while I settled myself in a cafe nearby, slaying people in the knife-only room in the online FPS, Dispatch of Army. At 5pm, we bought our take-away dinners, and headed back to Cyberia, and went for a swim in the swimming pool at my apartment area, with another couple of guys. After that, dinner and I headed off to the D&D session that night. At least this day replaced Thursday's doom-like boredom.

Come to think of it, maybe it's time I schedule myself for something this Thursday. Don't want the boredom to repeat itself again though. Well until then, let me stop here for today =P
