Study Updates and Randomness

Alhamdulillah. I managed to enroll into 2nd Semester, 2nd Year units. Syukur.

This semester, things are pretty the same like previous semester, but with additional experience. Ok, I do not want to babble too long and make you guys boring reading this post. I shall put them into a list.

1. 2nd week is equal to multiple assignments and labs.
2. 2009 is the year for GeoRaya trip, means that my class will be in Kuching on the 1st day of Raya Puasa. My flight is at 7.00 a.m. on the first day of Raya itself. Life is beautiful, right? *sarcasm.
3. I started sketching during lectures again. Haha.
4. Latest Mineral lab, we were requested to COUNT the BLOODY minerals within a ROCK. Ok, if you ask how to count them : first, zoom in the sample to a micro level using our RM40,000 Petrology Microscope, and magnify to the level where you can ACTUALLY see the minerals within the rock, and started counting them. You can say that, using Google Earth, you zoom to a forest, and started counting the trees.
5. There are about 30 new students under JPA Scholarships enrolled this semester, but none of them are cute enough for me. Haha.
6. I need a GPS unit, which gonna cost me nearly RM2000. Which should I opt? iPhone 3GS or Garmin GPS? *dilemma.

The Unplanned Semester Break

Tickets and Bills collected. Right click, and open on new window / tab for higher resolution.

At first, I planned not to go back to Shah Alam for my winter break. However my mom insisted. I went back to Shah Alam on 23rd June 2009.

It was my new experience of holiday. I went to Hill’s house and watch malay drama with her family until midnight. I did everything without plan. Haha. I was nearby her place, and in seconds I was on phone with her and asked her if I can meet her. LOL.

My Summer Break Stories

Summer break started at the end of November 2008. All of us (PETRONAS scholars) had to take leave and went back to their hometown. We were not permitted to stay at Curtin housing as PETRONAS did not cover the cost during 3 months holiday break. Thus, all of us were home. Back to their parents and family. Including me. I’m backed in Shah Alam. Home sweet home.

Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 2

P.S: Continue from Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 1

I was unable to sleep soundly that night. Maybe, because it was too cold. I kept on waking up after every half an hour, switching side to side and top to bottom just to comfort me back to sleep. However, this continue until Fajr. Pity me.

Being unable to sleep deadly like others do, I took an early shower, because I’m not planning to go for a long waiting list when others wake up and rush to the toilet. The water was very cold. Very cold that it made me shivering. Even when I pray for Fajr.
