An Observation

Its been quite some time since i last blogged. (I am wondering if i am going to use this opening for my future posts as well...)

I haven been rushing assignments since CNY!!! How i long to play soccer, watch variety shows and play my PSP. Been getting rather sleepy these days. Mondays seem unusually long (as usual..) My lesson started at 10am, ended early at 11.15. Start my reading from 11.30 to 2.30, while nodding off at the same time. Had a short break till 4 and lesson early (surprisingly) at 5.40. After reaching home and finishing my dinner, i am rushing my project. Taking a break from the project now.

Haha, i wonder if anyone is still reading this after that utmost boring paragraph. I think i am learning the skills of the authors of my reading coursepack. Boring people to death.

Anyway, i have made an interesting observation during my toilet break in school. Nope, the observation was not made in toilet but on my way to the toilet. There was this group of presumably primary school students on some science exploration or something. The prof (i assume) was demonstrating some science theories through experiments.

Prof: "Okie, i need a volunteer for the next experiment..."
Before he could even finish his line, the students go "Me Me Me!!!"

Were you one of those kids when you were young? Volunteering enthusiastically at any chance. This scene reminded me of another scene.

Prof: "I need a volunteer for the next question." (note, this sentence could be 2x longer than the one in the scenario i witness today, and the prof always have the time to finish his sentence.)
Students: *silence*

What had happened to that enthusiasm? Given another context where it does not involve teachers and students, the scenario would most likely remain the same. I admit i am one of the "guilty" personnel who seldom volunteers as enthusiastically as those pri school kids. (But i do not think i will change anytime soon too.)

Have we become too void of emotions in a public sphere? Do we have to witness artistes going through incredible stuns or look out for the presence of attractive prizes before we start donating? (Our "donations" has to be worthwhile...?)

While waiting at a bus stop this evening (okie this makes 2 observations instead of 1 as stated in the title...), the rubbish bin was smoking. The contents were burning, probably due to some inconsiderate user. Despite the many people present at the bus stop, none bothered to even attempt putting out the "fire".

I was hesitating if i should take out my water bottle and pour the remaining water into the bin. Alas, i decided to remain as guilty as the others and ignored the smoking rubbish bin like what the others were doing.

For a moment i felt ashamed for lacking the guts to do something out of the "norm".

its been a while....

since i last updated the blog. Cant think of much to update but... i saw these buttons not too long ago.. how will u feel when using them?



another video to share.. im kinda mesmerized by this song recently..

the lady is not e original singer.. but still sounds nice nonetheless..

End of the world!!!

School term has finally ended. This is how i ended my last lecture.

"So if you do not have any more questions, i conclude that this is the end of the module. I will be on leave from tomorrow onwards. If you have any questions, you can approach prof A. He has taught this module before. On the actual exam, prof B will be invigilating. The paper will be marked by prof A. I have already given him your CA grades."

Amazing! In fact, SHOCKING! And we were always in doubt what is the scope of the exam. He initially said closed book exam which is disastrous given the difficulty of the module. After much persuasion from the students, he said "If you want, you can bring 1 to 2 pieces of paper. I will ask the invigilator to close one eye."

WHAT? Ask invigilator to close one eye? so does that really mean helpsheet is allowed? and what is 1 to 2 piece? so its 1 or 2?

"They chose to stay behind and leave their fate to the prayers." -quote from the movie 2012

I find the above quote suiting to my situation. Yea, caught the movie after school today. The movie is freaking good to be missed. Highly recommended. Non-stop action and an absolute thriller.

While watching this movie, i had one take home message in my head. I am going to put in a harder effort in conserving earth. Don't get me wrong. I am not that noble, trying to save the earth and all. After watching 2012, my only thought is to try and conserve earth, hoping all that shit will not happen while i am alive.

Another quote which got stuck in my head. (I can't really remember the exact phrase but it goes something like this.)"The day that man stop fighting for each other, that is the day mankind will end."

happiness (sadness) is just a state of the mind

the title was quoted from the movie "love happens". I guess that is what i really need now.

exams are just around the corner. Slightly less than 2 weeks to be exact. There is absolutely no motivation to study at all.

Hey! Why is that so? you got a month break right after your exams no?

yea~~ and i have got 2 weeks of in camp training and 1 overlapping week of standby immediately after the exam period. I am not exactly sure if that is something to actually look forward to.

Looking at the issue more optimistically, perhaps i should be happy that i have this issue to complain and whine about. After all, this is my 2nd last final exams...

MISERABLE!

2 days to proposal
2 weeks to presentation and CA2
4 straight liverpool loses
5 weeks to exam
6 weeks to final project
7 weeks to ICT

+ one more CA3 in the middle of all those.

I am feeling so burned out already. My real break will only come in like 8 weeks? That is more than half a semester, and my break is only 2 weeks before i start my last semester?!?!

And what is rafa doing?! 4 straight loses? haiz...

MY EYES!!!!

they played a very terrible trick on me today..

i was buying a can of coffee from the vending machine.. den.. i was abt to turn my eyes to the collection point when i saw e msg.. "Now Disappearing..."

i was so shocked that i immediately took a 2nd look. phew.. it is "Now Dispensing.."

i felt like a fool....

1/n

argh!! the sickening tutorials are back.. after a sem of more application modules, i am back to facing maths again!! they comprises of tutorials where the E(able to answer) = 1/n where n is the number of tutorial qns..

its hardly motivating when u try to do the tutorial for hours and hardly managed 1 qns..
