Jogging.....more like strolling

I went to the park today after goodness knows how long I've not been to one. I went to Taman Aman, a park located just right next to the Taman Paramount LRT station. I went there to exercise. Yeah right, seemed more like I was strolling in the park. I only jogged almost one whole round of the park. What an accomplishment!
The park was nice. There were many health conscious people there, especially old uncles. Most people go there to walk (brisk walking), only a few were jogging.
I should go jogging more often

English

I'll start off with my English tutorial. Had a class yesterday. I just had to sit (had no choice) in between two people who would not stop asking me questions throughout the whole class. We were doing grammar and our lecturer was asking us for answers. For each answer given, these two people kept bombarding with questions on why the answer is what it is. Boy, was it frustrating. Imagine trying to listen to the lecturer and having a person on each side throwing questions into your ear.

Had English language lab. I found it quite fun.

The first aid unit came into the lecture hall today to promote their blood doantion drive. The guy who was explaining was really funny. Funny in the sense of not being able to pronounce words correctly. Imagine, above became aboove; involve became invoolve. The two mascots were extremely hilarious this time around.

Damned English

I can't stand my English lecturer. Why can't she accept our ideas? Now my group has to find another topic for our English assignment after wasting our 3 weeks. Sheesh. Why can't she accept the problems we tought up of? And now we are given less than 2 days to find information, write down headings & come up with interview questions. This is really frustrating. Reminds me of the frustration I was facing when I was doing my MIS assignment back in Dilpoma. Gotta go find information now instead of hanging around here.

Career Fair week & User interface

Had a long week. Had two days of classes up to 7 p.m. and one till 6 p.m. The ones up to 7 p.m. was because of the career fair. But the career fair was "educational". Not all the talks had much substance. Some were just to promote their company/organisation. After the talks, I am certain I don't want to work in any of the Big Fours nor do I want to do auditing.
I went for a public speaking talk yesterday to see if I could learn anything to brush up on my public speaking skills (as I am a poor public speaker). A thing I learnt is about making eye contact. One of the speakers was talking about it. She gave three tricks. She said only to use them if we were going to have a heart attack and die.
The first trick is to focus on the people at the four corners of the room. Make eye contact with them at random order, not in a continuous sequence.
The second is to look at people not in their eyes but in between their eyes.
The last is for people who are short sighted. Don't wear your spectacles/contact lenses on that day unless you really are almost blind without your glasses.

I have just changed my computer's interface. I love it!

Belated prezzie

Got a belated birthday present from my brother and sister yesterday. Finally, I've got the 6th Harry Potter book. RM69.90. Thanks you guys. Personally, I wouldn't have bought it yet. I would've waited till the price went down to RM49.90. Now I don't have to buy it. Yeah!

Shattered!

What a way to start the day. The tinted screen in front of the monitor just had to drop and the glass just had to break. Why me? According to my brother it already looked broken the last time he dropped it. It seems to have something against me then. This got my mum into a bad mood. Great! Now I have the whole day, or more likely the rest of my life, to feel GUILTY!

Scratched

I have been scratched, though it looks as if the scar is a trail of puncture marks. This was due to my carelessness. I forgot I was carrying papers which have a string with metal pieces holding them together. The result is this:















Here are the CULPRITS:

Went to college today for a group discussion. Thought it was a complete waste of time. Hardly got anything done. My tutor is really bonkers. I think being a PhD holder has made her like that. Haha. She only gave us one day to find information on our assignment. Another thing is that we want to go for a talk this Wednesday but she won't let us. She told my class rep,"You go and change the time for the talk. I won't let you skip my class." What's up with her? Can't she replace the class? Man, she's being really unreasonable. Gotta go check out the e-learning thingy before she starts banging us for not going.

Daze

Whoa, I nearly missed a class today. It's a lucky thing my class rep SMSed us before it was too late. I had no idea that English tutorials start this week. Didn't tutorials usually start on the 2nd week? *Sigh*
I got the SMS at around 12.30p.m. telling me that English tutorial was at 2.30 p.m. Luckily I was already awake. Had a shock when I got the SMS. I'm still recovering from it. I can hardly remember what happened during class, apart from the fact that my lecturer is really cerewet.

Was the dream a sign that something like this would happen? Well, it wasn't exactly the same but it's somewhat similar. Hmmmm.......

A waste of time

I went to college with my brother today to copy our timetables. Mine wasn't out yet. My brother's was. That's a miracle; the School of Arts & Science (SAS) was, for the first time, faster than the School of Business Studies (SBS). All I got for going to college were bites from vampire insects a.k.a. mosquitoes and sweaty/stinky body & t-shirt. But I also got a good laugh at something while walking back to the LRT station. Though my brother said that I was just being lame. I saw this sign on a stall in a so-called restaurant. One which used to have a sign saying Mee Carry (which, I guess, was supposed to be Mi Kari/Curry Mee). This time it was Murtabak Pak Din. Usually people write Murtabak Ayam or Murtabak Kambing, etc. which meant there's chicken or mutton in the murtabak. So i figured that Murtabak Pak Din would contain Pak Din, whoever he was. Man, that was funny. I don't think they meant that, though, that's why I thought it was damn funny. If they did, they were promoting cannibalism; but where would they get so many Pak Dins?

I had a dream. I guess it was bad for me 'cos it seemed so REAL. Now that I think about it, I find it ridiculous. I dreamt that I forgot I was having an exam at 8 a.m. and I woke up axactly at 8 a.m.! I was in a real panicky situation. I never knew what happened after that 'cos I woke up at that point.

Still awake

I am still awake at this hour because I can't sleep. Why? Because I drank coffee. Not on purpose, though. I was hungry and decided to drink Milo. When I make Milo, I usually mix it with coffee. It's a really nice drink when you want to have a hot drink. All you have to do is mix 1 packet of coffee (= 2 teaspoons) with 4-5 teaspoons of Milo (I like to add as much as possible), then add water (hot, obviously), and milk, if you like. It's really nice. The coffee gives a nice aroma while the Milo gives the nice taste. Yum, I love Milo. Just eating the powder alone is yummy.

Top 15 skylines in the world

My friend sent me this through e-mail. Thanks Pey Tzy. Thought I'd post it up 'cos some of the pics are really nice. I particularly like the picture of Shenzhen, China. Very pretty. Mind you, I don't usually like pictures of buildings. I prefer those on nature.
