Part 3, Too Busy... too Hectic...

The busy-ness (had to put a hyphen and separate the word, didn't want you guys to confuse it with the 'buying and selling' kind of business) has gotten into my brain lately. Just like alcohol. It soaks itself into the brain, blunting your chain of thought, your input senses, and your output actions. I'm busy, but at the same time, I'm so free that I'm bored sick. Now what's THAT supposed to mean? I think most of the uni students get the idea of it, there's no other way of explaining it.

I'll get back to this next time. For now.....

Continuing the turn of events that happened since the week before last week again. I guess I left off you guys with pics of the lantern guys and girls taken on Sunday.

Next was Monday. Oh, the gloomy mondays. And I didn't even have time to realise how in deep sh** I was for getting myself so busy that I forgot about everything. In the end, I spent 2 hours blurring my self with:

Figure 1. A ......... a ....... what's it called again?

Figure 2. Ahhh.... An Oscillioscope. I actually had to
zoom into the first pic to see the name to remember.
The Bottom one is a wave generator.... or smth like that.

I was literally pushing buttons and turning knobs, which seemed fun, without knowing what was happening. The graph on the oscillioscope just kinda looked interesting and made me feel like I was looking at some sci-fi movie apparatus.

Well, but in actuality, I guess it wasn't anything new.

Next we played with....... ...... err ......... a box.

Figure 3. This time I really forgot what that thingy with dozens of
knobs is called.


Figure 4. I only know that it creates a resistance value according
to the value you set it to...... .... yah, that's about it.

We had to perform weird connections from one apparatus to another..... which I always mixed up which was which...... And That, was Monday.


Tuesday came and went like a gust of wind. Thanks to our IOS (Introduction to O.S.) lecturer, which came late and left early, and also my decision to self study Management 100's lecture notes, instead of going to the lecture and wasting my 1 and a half hours nodding my head in my very own imaginary world.


Wednesday. Oh Wednesday was busy. I had a programming test, which I practically did NOT manage to study, because of an invitation from my 'beloved' friends' to play games at night. And also...... to some extent, it was quite a repeat of what I've already known..... so...... I left the rest to my extensive memory library of this bird-brain.

I finished classes at 12:30. And then..... being a CV member (Curtin Volunteer, in case you forgot), I guess it's all about volunteerism.....

Today (wednesday, I mean), we had schools coming for a tour around campus, about further education and just some information for them to know what they should study in the future. Okay.... and then, I was assigned as one of the 'tourguides'.... you could say..... to bring one of the student groups around, to see the exibition stations and stuff.

"Datuk Pemaisuri..... Man..... what kinda idiot thought of such a name.... for a school. It sounds so....... Gaah! Nevermind". And so, the group of students I lead were from SMK Datuk Pemaisuri.

To My Surprise!..... Out of the 20 students in my group, 18 of them spoke Chinese. Well, I thought it's a good thing then........ since I'll be able to get along better too..... then I didn't have to limit myself to English all the time. Then, we began the tour.


It's too bad I didn't manage to take any pictures because I totally forgot about that, and those funny DP (Datuk Pemaisuri) students kept asking me questions...... But anyway, I realised there was a lot of stuff in Curtin that I hadn't seen.

I had the chance to enter the Journalism Lab..... were inside.... you get to see all those 15k worth HDD Video Cameras, with another 30k one sitting just a feet away beside it. And then there were sound proof rooms with 21 inch (or so I assumed) plasma display monitors, with ANOTHER 17 inch one beside it (2 displays), and to the right of both screens stood a humungous white CPU with a big 'apple' logo on it's side. "So THIS is where they do all the editing......." Well, there were a lot more stuff, my then my post is gonna be damn long if I continued talking about it.


Next, I managed to take a peek at the Civil Engineering lab (again, 1st time was orientation), where they had all the heavy machinery that could chop people up and disorient its figure and reduce it to nothingness, just kidding. I realised some new things around campus...... met some new people..... and came to realise that Wednesday had just passed.




I'm sorry if my post bored you, and if there was a lack of pictures.... cause that week was kinda tiring and I guess I was starting to float off the face of earth. That should be all for my 2 week update. Recent events aren't anything interesting, so...... later.
