the final battle

A few pieces of white paper, printed with black ink and held together with a piece of metal, also known as a staple. That is what's standing (or, in this case, lying on the table) between me and my freedom. Yes, a few sheets of clean white paper splattered with specks of black and clipped with a tiny little staple, is stopping me from my blissful, uni- and studies-free 6 week long wonderful holiday. *sigh*

I've got myself ready for the final battle. It's been a long war, it's been tough. Tomorrow is the final battle, after which the war is over, and victory (or defeat) will be determined. The final hurdle that I have to jump, before I can race on to the finish line.

I've been preparing for this battle, the last battle of this long and draining war will be important. Like how the last lap of the F1 race can determine who wins first and second place, or how the last straight stretch can determine the winner in a 400m run. It may be the final battle, but it doesn't make it any easier or less important.

I have my "weapons" to aid me in this war - pen, pencil, calculator. I have my "armour" to protect me from "attacks" - eraser, liquid paper. I have my battle plans and strategies - formulas, theories, calculation methods - in my head (well, maybe not all, but trying to get most of them in).

Good luck for the last battle!

almost there

Just two more papers. Tomorrow is Engineering Mathematics, and day after, Electric Circuit Analysis. I just can't believe that the first semester is going to be over in about 2 days! It somehow feels very fast, yet at the same time it feels very slow. Probably because a lot has happened that it feels like agessss since I first came to UPM for orientation week, and it's already 2 days from the end of my first semester here! Hard to describe this feeling with mere words, though, since it is quite a paradox...

I'm going to... No, I will, make full use of my 6 week break! But for now, it's time to hit the books again, and bury myself in equations and formulas for both the remaining subjects. What a drag to my almost-holiday mood~

We're almost there, hang on for that little bit more! :)

holidays are near!

Just got back to college. It was raining cats and dogs on the way here, and the roads were full of water. It was really pouring! Now that I'm back in the room... I feel like it's empty... haha, maybe it's because I've emptied my side quite a bit, brought back lots of things I won't be needing for my last week here in college.

After this Thursday, I'm free! Yessss~ And I'll have to start training (I mean for swimming) since I'll be swimming for this year's OKH (Ong Kee Hui) swimming competition. OPEN age group. And what does that mean? OLD. hahahaha... Well, I think I need to get some serious exercise, been lacking exercise since my bum landed in UPM. Just the occasional badminton and volleyball, other than that I rarely do any exercises over here. And I need to change that!

Hmm, it's a little hard to type with long fingernails, since I'm the type of person who normally keeps my nails short, since I don't use nail polish etc, you know me :) Well, now my nails have grown quite long (for my own personal standards at least) and they're causing a lot of typos here. hehe. Random stuff.

I'm looking forward to this holiday. Let's see what it brings. :)

Good luck to everyone on their remaining papers, and enjoy your holidaysss~

computer programming...

I LIKE computer programming. Really like it. It's hard, it's not easy, but I quite enjoy writing my own programs. When we have labs I find that I learn alot from labs. And I enjoy tweaking around and trying out different ways while working on a program. It's actually FUN for me!!

BUT.... The problem is everytime there's a test or exam, I don't do well. I answer the question wrongly, or I don't have the time to answer, or whatever other ridiculously stupid reasons you can think of, and this really is quite VERY miserable. Probably one of the worst feelings of all. It's not that I CANNOT do the questions, but I end up not being able to do it well or correctly or whatever. It's horribly depressing.

Today was the computer programming final exam and I think I could have done loads better. I'm quite disappointed now, about what a stupid mistake I've done. Grrr...

Enough moping now. It's not gonna make my marks high even if i mope around alot. I've still got two more exams next week, Engineering Mathematics and Electric Circuit Analysis. I hope and pray that at least, at the very least, I do not screw them up.

Anyway best of luck to those having exams. All the best!

quick udpate

The lack of updates are mostly due to lousy internet connection. I've not been able to connect for many days, to the point that I didn't even bother touching my laptop for more than 24 hours (that's very unusual for me)

Anyway, exams, finals, start soon. Officialy it starts tomorrow but my first paper is on Wednesday, 28th October.. Last paper will be on 12th November..

Well, gotta go now, want to watch football match.. Hope Liverpool can win this match after so many losses lately.........!

lack of updatess

SoooOoOoOOoOoOoooO sorry for the lack of updates lately. Somehow I just don't fnd the time to update my blog much now. Sigh...

Tomorrow is a Thursday. Maths class has been cancelled so I'll be quite free in the morning, but will probably spend that time going to main campus to get some things done. My Mealplan card is still not with me, unused. I really need to get it back quick so I can start using it!

It's just about 3 weeks before finals start, I think. This 1 semester is RUSHING BY TOO QUICKLY for me to catch up!!!! Or at least, it's moving too fast for my mind to register that I am now in October and it isn't long before the finals are over and I'll be back home for the holidays!!

Well, I guess this is all for the short update now... Sorry again for the serious lack of updates. haiz.. Till next post!

too fast, too furious?

Too fast. Time is passing by really quickly. Too quickly. It's already Friday, a few more minutes to Saturday. I've to go back to Uni on Sunday. I don't want to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.<
