First week of college

Hm.. I actually wanted to put first day of college but since I did nothing much, better put the title properly.

Well, 23rd March 2009, was orientation. In truth, what should be said is briefing, because basically on that day, you don't even know who your classmates are or what is happening. You only sit there and listen to what the admin side have to say.

Then,24th is where the fun starts. Drove in the rain for the first time. I mean HEAVY rain. And a trip that usually takes one hour became and hour and half. Damn lucky class starts at 8.30am. I practically ran to class under the rain that day. If not, I shall have the wonderful name of being a latecomer again. Not that I dislike the days when I was one.(I think I am reminiscing about my primary and secondary days again... gone were the days when everyone got the together-ness in them). Oh, I also join Sun-U Anime Club. Which should be fun because an event is already lined-up.. which is Sun-U AniManGaki.

Finally, today. 27th. The best part of the day is I arrived at 11.00am whereas my class is actually starting only at 1.00pm. Perhaps, in a way it is better than, because the original timetable actually states 2.30pm. Imagine spending three and a half hours doing nothing and sitting like and idiot.

One thing that I realize today. CAT maybe really is for me because the calculations inform are not tough once you understand the concepts. Or it is just the first two papers that are like that.


BTW, did I mention Sunway UC is kinda huge as well?

A day in a mixer

7.3.2009 is seriously memorable for me because it is the fist time I collaborated with so many people to do song-writing and also because I only came to know I have lousy direction skills today. Wonder if I am going to survive when I drive in the future.

First thing first, I am happy yet disappointed. Happy because I did manage to do a few of the lyrics. Disappointed because I couldn't help much. This project also make me realize that not many people appreciate the effort of the a song-writer because others make it seems easy. Furthermore, what we did today is to fit in words to a song, not song to words. A melody can be manipulated easier but why take the risk if the easy way is there. You still put your effort in, don't you? Just a little info for you people, our melody is from Kenangan Terindah by Samsons. Boy, this song brings back memories. Why memories? Because of the practising, preparation and performance. I consider that three memories. Kenangan Terindah is our last performance as Form 5 Sc 1, yet I wonder how many of us really got involve and performed in it. Seriously, if this song is presented live, I will and must watch it.

Secondly, on what basis did I came up with the conclusion that I am bad with road. A simple one. I failed to present a proper road map and directions to a place that I had been to for umpteenth time. Case 1 being Sri Garden, a school that I had been attending since kindergarden and the roads had never change before and Case 2, a place that is damn near to my house. I should have been able to lead anyone, even a foreigner(as a matter of speaking) to these two places with a snap of finger or within a blink of an(or two) eyes. Yet, I failed miserably. I couldn't lead anyone to anywhere no matter how many hundred or million times I use a road. So, forget it. Don't offer give me a ride to anywhere. I rather not go anywhere and spare everyone the trouble of wasting their petrol and time than having my own convenience at the expense of others.

Ending on a lighter note, my normal G-shock watch is back! I am not sure how many of you remember that during SPM, I had to cellophane tape the strap because it broke off. Changing the strap cost RM 36. Lucky it didn't cost over RM 50, or else I will curse the manufacturer of the strap. So, I am using back my old one instead of the lime green one that you seen before. Unless, it is like a special occasion, I might wear the lime green one.

Literature

Somehow or rather, I am suddenly remembering literature a lot. In a way, it has improve my English, opened up and 'fine tune' my mind too. Certain phrases from the materials are really worth remembering too. North Star and Ides of March being those that I like. Both came from Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. I think will put up an excerpt from the play. When the time comes, try understanding it. Old English is worse than Shakespeare English. Wanna try?

So, all in all, try your hands on Literature if you can. English, Malay or Chinese or even Indian language is good too. Therefore, my dear friends, start being enticed by the beauty of languages.
