Tedious!
I've learnt a new word in my second year..
I've heard it many times from different lecturers/tutors, in different subjects. Without even checking it on dictionary, I can already make a wild guess of what's the meaning of that new word.
"Tedious!"
Yeah, everything I'm learning now can be very tedious. Almost everything is tedious. Let's give an example, we only assumed that there're only potential energy and kinetic energy when a ball falling down from a building. Of course that's for A levels and below. Now, we've to consider other things such as the frictional force of the air, the vector wind and etc. A simple question in secondary school that requires only 2-3 steps have now become at least a page long of answers!
Of course, we can avoid some tedious steps by using some "short-cuts" taught in University. Example: a very hard integration can now be solved by using differentiation!! Hold on a second, aren't you supposed to integrate instead of differentiate it? That's the brilliant short cut by converting the integration into complex integral, and within a few steps, the question is easily solved!
I think I better stop here since I believe not many of you would understand what I was just saying. Well, forget about it then.
Actually I'm stuck in a computer lab because of rain. So, might as well update some of you here. Oh yeah, I will be going back to Malaysia very soon!! This coming Saturday, until Sunday. Only 2 days, but I don't wanna miss it. I won't possibly going back for just 2 days if my uncle is not giving me a free ride. Hehe.
Exam is coming in the next 2 weeks. I've a very different feelings this time round. I actually think that my subjects are very easy!! I don't know why. People are struggling. I only have to deal more with a particular subject now. Am I smarter? Certainly I don't think so. Anyway, I'll of course give my best, even though I think the subjects are easy. Hopefully they're as easy as I thought..

On a Friday night
Friday night, a night that I get to enjoy and play as much as I can. The only night I don't feel guilty of playing games at all. The night which I'm most free!!
Exam is approaching very soon. Let me tell you how fast time flies when you're in Univeristy. One semester here is 13 weeks, you've average 3 hours of classes on a certain subject every week. The lecturers here teach in a superb, exteremely fast speed. How fast.. er.. He can finished a topic in our secondary school, where we spent half a year to learn, in an hour class. Try to imagine, I've 7-8 subjects and 20+ hours taken away every week. 20+ is alot mind you, if you're to compare Engineering students' timetable with those business students. They have, 9 hours a week??
Let's not talk about exam now. I just forced myself to finish a pack of junk food!! Potato chips!! I don't eat junk food normally, as in I won't go and buy purposely, or even if people offered me, I'll just take some if my mood is nice =P Gosh.. Since it's about to expire, it's in the free goodies bag, and my roommie has went back to his house, so.. haha lo.
Oh yeah, I just recorded the highest ECA (Extra Curriculum Activites) points among my peers. 174.6!! The second highest is about 150, and third is 130!! Haha. Not that I'm proud of it, but I didn't realise I'm too hyperactive in the past year. The points are pretty useless for me since I'm not aiming for a single room, although my points are VERY more than enough to stay. =P How I wish that's my academic results!!
I'm considering whether I should take my industrial attachment (IA) in my first sem/second sem of my third year. I don't know, but seems that taking my IA in first sem will have more advantages in terms of challenges I faced to work in certain company, academic result, and holidays!!
Haha, enough of relax now. Shall study for a while now. God bless!

About the layout
Unveiling (Back with GS) - I spent almost a WHOLE day (25/4) after my second semester exam here at Singapore to make this full template. The current background features the main characters of Gundam Seed, Kira Yamato and Lacus Clyne. I'm a crazy fans of Gundam since I was in primary school, so I decided to make perhaps my very first full template about Gundam Seed. Gundam Seed got 7 gold and 1 bronze from the biggest Anime Awards in 2004, beating other Anime like one-piece, Full Metal, Naruto. I even got mood swing near the end of GS (FYI, I'm not easily emotional affected =P). Here come Gundam Seed Destiny, the story after that, and it continues to rocks!!
My past layout(s)
I started to design layouts for my blog, class and etc since I was in secondary 2, I used to take a snap of my layouts I designed but somehow I accidently forgotten them when I reformat my comp last time..
Dust in the wind - Well, this is a layout I designed for a classical guitar piece of Linkin Park, Dust in the Wind. They're very normal band without those shouting and screaming, scratching hehe. They are one of my favourite band.
