Sem Two Day One

Day one in uni for the second sem...... it could've been worse I guess....

You know what is it that reminds me that I'm in miri?? It's the 'nothing-to-do' feeling. Have any of you gotten to the point where you're SO FREEEE....... that you don't know what you can/should do??? Yeap, that's the feeling I'm talking about.

Today at the Student Services office.... there were TONNES of people waiting around to get all their admin and registration stuff done. And I was there to collect my receipt for my fees. So all I could do was a get a number and wait.... "6171, its 6145 now...... I guess that wouldn't take long.... I have another 1 and half hours till my next class anyway, and I don't seem to have anything to do", and so I waited.

Imagine sitting at a chair for 30 minutes, okay don't say class.... just imagine waiting, you've got nothing to do, just sit, and wait, like you're waiting for a bus, 30 THIRTY minutes. Half an hour might seem short..... but that depends what you're doing.... 30 minutes of being a sitting duck isn't nice.... trust me, even when you have the all the time in the world.


Oh well, the waiting finally ended and I got my receipt.... what next, I had an hour left now. I really didn't know what to do. We'd eaten our lunch, did everything we could and needed to, and now.... all we waited for was class. And we sat there...... me and my friend, having the same course as me...... wondering what we should do for the next hour.

Fine, one hour passed, to cut the story short, we tried wandering around and ended up in the computer lab.


Now, being a BTech student (Bachelor of Technology), its really an honour to be one of the FEW students to actually be enrolled in this course. That was what I always thought..... maybe even now, hehe.......

20 students. Thats the maximum number of students in our class daily.... that was last sem. And only about 12 of them are BTech students..... not to mention, some of them were....... ........ how to say....... 2nd or 3rd years, meaning they took this unit late... or some re-took it.


Say, whats the smallest amount of students in ANY class you've been to before. Of course not tuition classes and music, piano, whatever special lessons. Today, I've experienced the one of the oddest things in my life....... Having a lecture..... with 1 lecturer, 4 students, including me. Yes, 4 students, FOUR. A 2 hour lecture..... picture that.....


Today was only the first class......... I wonder what will happen next. NO CLASS??

Having Insomnia?

For those of you who aren't familiar with what Insomnia is..... its the inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for a reasonable amount of time. Fortunately for me, I guess I sleep like a log, but.... falling asleep takes forever.

Since when, I do not know, I realised that I've been having a hard time falling asleep lately. Why? I don't know. Probably I just think too much. Have you ever woke up the next morning and tried to think back what was the last thing you thought about last night before you fell asleep?? Haha, I guess no one, or at the most, not many people do that..... I do though.

My mind is always busy, constantly on the move, all day, and even night until I fall asleep. I think of the past, present, future, anything you could think of. Simulating situations, thinking of all the "what if's", test-running the "if only"s, dreaming of things I could do, would do, would say, would do if I have to, would do if I could, going through the depths of my brain, bringing up my subconscious memories, regretting, recalling, remembering, reliving.

I think that's why I always take hours and hours to fall asleep. Trying to go to sleep at 12 always ends me up falling asleep only at 3 am, maybe 4. I thought my body's clock was programmed for me to sleep at 3, so last night I tried sleeping at 3. To my surprise. I fell asleep at around 5. I think its high time I tuned down my brain's activity a little...... or it'll fry in no time.


Well, to those who are interested. Last night was Tshung Tsin night. Being an Ex-student, I feel I can't help but go back and have a look see look see........

The school sure has changed quite a bit.... ticket prices, RM10 and 20!!? Where did all the good old Five dollar note tickets go to? I guess Fives aren't worth much now.... I guess the petrol price took its toll on everything. What makes things worse are that the RM10 tickets were SOLD OUT when we wanted to entre.

That did it, I'm leaving I thought. Just then, a friend of mine tried to call someone from inside to "smuggle" some used tickets out, Wahahaha.... this reminds me of the old days where me and my friends used to smuggle our way in, 2 tickets could get 10 guys in for the show. I guess the old-school skills could still work even after being a graduate, haha.

Going in, as expected, year by year, the performances gets worse and worse...... but for free.... maybe I wouldn't mind and couldn't complaine then. I guess our school's golden days are about over now..... whats left.... isn't worth much....


Hmm..... nothing much to talk/ramble about lately..... since nothing much have been going on. So I guess I'll just leave it at here. じゃあな

Noone can be Everybody

Yo there, well, seems like bout 3 weeks I haven't been posting, haha, guess maybe it's cause I just got back from Miri and was a little caught up in KK, with all the food, friends, the internet, and all. But even after being away from KK for 4 whole months, maybe more...... nothing much changed, yet.... traffic jams all around, roads still repairing, prices still going up, good foods getting less.... so.... yea, I guess nothing much changed....

By the way, nothing much happened since the last week and more I've been back here, other than a couple of 'yam cha's, a few 'put off-ed' badminton meet-ups by those 'pilots'..... nothing much happening around yet, so I guess I won't have much to update you guys about until some activities come up.

Anyway, today's post might seem a bit boring, so if you guys decided you'd be better off using your time watching dumbass youtube vids of some nutcase rambling off some mumbo jumbo 101 photoshop tips in 5 minutes, you're better off clicking this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6flegTtolg


Well, for those of you think you want to continue........ so be it.


Have anyone of you ever thought of learning everything there was, everything you could? Me, being someone..... who wishes I could do everything, know anything..... I've always strove to take every chance I have to learn anything and everything I could. However, about a year ago, I think I started to get tired with all these..... I started to realise that I could never know anything and everything.... at least not in this limited time of life.

And the next thing I knew, I was hoping I could live an immortal, where I would have an infinite amount of time, to learn, do, experience, everything there was in this world, or universe maybe. (But that thought was later forgotten due to its impossibility)


Lately instead, I came to realise these things again. There were so many things I wished I could do. I see magic, I wanna do it; I see people dance, I wish I could dance like them; I see people playing the violin, I wish I'd learned the violin too. But nevertheless, these dreams soon faded as I came back down onto earth, reality. And then it spawned in my senses.

Humans, having such a short life remaining, estimating another average of 70 years for most of you that is, approximately another 613,200 hours...... or 2,207,520,000 seconds if you prefer it that way. Take 1/3 of the time away since you'll be huddling in your bed with your own drool most of that time.... that leaves 1,471,680,000 of seconds being awake......

Okay, cutting out all the crap, having such a short lifespan, I just feel that we shouldn't try to be everybody, get what I mean? Each of us are born different, everybody has their own specialties, what their good at, what they suck at. And being someone who only has less than 600 thousand hours of time awake, I don't think we have enough time to be everybody.

Just take the time, work on something you like, you treasure, and instead of working hard on something which isn't you, try doing something that you've always been wanting to do, go for it. You might not have a second chance. Pick something you love, for my example, I'll take magic, and work into it, and make the impossible happen (not talking about doing the impossible in magic lol). Everything is possible, thats what I believe, as long as you have the will. (except some stuff like flying and walking through a wall of course. Yes, you can fly..... one day maybe..... after a long long time..... in the mental hospital).

If you're gonna be anything, be yourself.
Noone can be Everybody.


Oops.... I guess I said a lot. Hope you appreciate the post anyway. See ya.
