While I'm supposed to be really busy with my FYP i.e. final year project, I seem to always find excuses to procrastinate (as usual). Still deciding and thinking of where to go when dad and brother visits London in end June. Suggestions anyone? :D </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Might visit New York as well in July, but will see if my parents permit after the swine flu outbreak :( I had already thought about this since ages, but the flu just HAD to spoil everything. I guess luck's just not on my side for this.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Really excited for the end of term when I could just be free from work and go on a holiday. How is it not possible to get distracted when you see people chilling out in hot, bright sun with a backpack and sunnies while you're stuck with work? (or at least, forced to do work in an attempt to convince myself that I shouldn't go out too much because my next supervision is just days away) Sighh! At least, I guess there's still something to look forward to in a few weeks :D</span>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-84199222009590330502009-05-02T13:00:00.003+00:002009-05-02T13:10:06.257+00:00You know it is really pointless to study so much..<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">when Prof Naylor sets the exam paper.

Some would probably think I've disappeared from the face of earth. I remembered (when I started this blog in 1st year) that I wanted it to narrate my entire university life experience, for me to relate and appreciate the good times (and bad) after several years down the road. It seems like that's not happening now :) I almost forgot that this even existed! =.=<br /><br />Anyway, now that I remember this actually exists, I'll probably blog a little more when I feel like it hahahaha =) ciaoz for now!

The Americans did the right thing by choosing the person who deserved to win. Screwing up in the finals and not getting good comments from the judges should not be the main deciding factor. Too bad for Archuleta. You have an amazing vocal (no doubt) and I do think that you have a bright future ahead of you; but Cook's definitely a better bet. Between an excellent performer or a singer, which is your pick? =)<br /><br />Anyway, that's right. Another season has passed and AI always impresses me with the quality of its contestants. Don't even compare it with our very own Malaysian Idol or Akademi Fantasia or Asian Idol? Haha. What a joke. This reminds me of my internship period in Astro last year. My friends thought I was crazy and ignorant for not knowing who Mawi is, and this famous Malay guy who appears in Astro very often. I forgot his name! Again.<br /><br />Anyway, back to AI. If I were to pick a winner for all seasons, it will be:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Season 1: Kelly Clarkson<br />Season 2: Clay Aiken [Ruben Studdard won]<br />Season 3: Fantasia Barrino<br />Season 4: Carrie Underwood<br />Season 5: Chris Daughtry [Taylor Hicks won]<br />Season 6: Melinda Doolittle [Jordin Sparks won]<br />Season 7: David Cook<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">My favorite used to be Kelly Clarkson until Carrie Underwood won Season 4. Till now, I can't find anyone to replace her, yet. Since AI, she made country music really famous especially to people like me, who don't listen to country songs. Anyway, for those of you who's interested to listen to their wonderful songs, here are some suggestions:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Kelly Clarkson:<br />Because of You (favorite)<br />Since You've been Gone<br />Behind These Hazel Eyes<br />Breakaway<br /><br />Fantasia Barrino:<br />I Believe? lol.<br /><br />Carrie Underwood:<br />Before He Cheats (favorite)<br />Wasted (very nice also)<br />I'll Stand by you (favorite)<br />Last Name<br />So Small<br />Jesus take the Wheel<br /><br />Chris Daughtry:<br />Home<br />Over You<br /><br />Taylor Hicks:<br />Do I Make you Proud<br /><br />Jordin Sparks:<br />Broken Wing! (favorite)<br />This is My Now<br /><br />David Cook:<br />I Don't Want to Miss a Thing<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Most of Carrie's and Kelly's songs are nice. So yes, download them! and, tell me if it's nice or if we share the same taste for songs. Perhaps, can start exchanging some (Really gotta update my iPod. Getting bored of the same ol' songs).<br /><br />For those who like emo songs, here's 2 songs I really like:<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xstLRWHgD2Q&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xstLRWHgD2Q&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I'll Stand by You by Carrie on "Idols Give Back"<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6O-yohHK25g&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6O-yohHK25g&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Do I make You Proud by Taylor Hicks<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Not that I'm emo, but I guess it's exam period now and these songs best describe what I'm feeling at this point of time =.=<br /><br />Okay, back to pipelines and cache memory! Exam spree starts in 2 days!! Need strength and luck really badly, to survive.<br /></div></div></div></div></div></div>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-79903099679906520702008-05-20T05:29:00.005+00:002008-05-20T05:47:47.569+00:00<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm actually hoping that time would pass faster so that I can finally watch the finals of AI and then result and get over with it once and for all (instead of getting it stuck at my head; pondering about who will clinch the title). However, the other part of me always hope that there is really more time to study! :( What if I don't pass 2nd year? Howw?? Exam starts in exactly a WEEK! :(</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Life sucks for now. My daily routine is really screwed up and unhealthy. Weird sleeping hours and awful eating habits coupled with stress can really make one go crazy. Especially at this point of time. How not to go insane with an exam time-table like this:</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br /><br />27/5: Computer Architecture</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">29/5: Control Engineering</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">2/6: Digital Electronics 2</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">4/6: Maths 3</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">5/6: Maths 4</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">9/6: Communications 2</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">11/6: Signals and Systems</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">13/6: Software Engineering</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">16/6: Fields and Devices</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">17/6: Power</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">19/6: Analogue Electronics 2</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">If only I did not do things this last minute and had a better time management...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Why do I always ALWAYS do this!

Cook! Cook! for American Idol!! =D<span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I doubt I've ever supported anyone that much ever since I've started watching American Idol but I've got to tell you, this guy by the name of David Cook (for those of you who don't keep up with AI) is amazing! I really hope he's the next American Idol! =D</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Look, seriously. I am not claiming that David Archuleta isn't good but I don't think he's fantastic. It's no doubt that at an age of 17, his singing is way beyond his years. However, let's not forget that this is a singing competition and not a competition based on other factors like age/charm/whatsoever. David Archuleta won't make a very good recording artist, in my opinion. Who would want to listen to a string of ballard songs? Oh pleasee.. lol. I really do enjoy listening to some of his songs but I think I'm getting bored of it. Majority of Randy's comments to Cook was that it's "predictable" but why does Archuleta not receive comments like that? It was really as if Randy was against Simon this week. In that, I trust Simon haha =)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Anyway, the contestants entering finals next week are quite predictable. Let's just wait and see who will be crowned the next AI. To me, it's definitely Cook but oh well, there are reasons to why good contestants like Chris Daughtry or Elliot Yamin were voted out despite being more famous and selling more albums than their season winner. Anyway, let's just wait and see..</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">I'm definitely looking forward to hearing Cook's single! Do watch "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" by him <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=20MWYIqfHR4">here</a>.</span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-48584696366325291632008-05-01T00:18:00.004+00:002008-05-01T00:48:26.959+00:00Inspired by certain thoughts<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I just realised that I'm one of the few bloggers who blogs in the wee hours of the night; being inspired by certain thoughts. This time, this post of mine will not be anything related to the horrendous exam from 27th May to 19th June.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">As I was taking a break from Digital Electronics, I vaguely recalled someone (can't particularly remember who that person is) once telling me that I do take things for granted, at times. Back then, it was really hard to comprehend his statement but I think it really makes sense now.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Reflecting on my life for the past few years, I really think I do take a lot of things for granted (well, basically taking anything which one gives without returning back a favor, living a gleeful, sort of happy-go-lucky life without bothering about anything else).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">However, I'm not saying that I am regretting all I've done, for I think it really teaches me a lot and I guess it made me more matured as well? lol. Anyway, that's a bit of the past and there's always the future to look forward to! It's time to improve myself =)<br /><br />Anyway, on another note, for those of you who keeps up with American Idol (the ones from IC: Daryl, Cheng Chun), David Cook's the BOMB! Really hope he'll be the one clinching the title this year and NOT David Archuleta. That innocent/pleasant smile of this little kid.. Gosh, someone please get rid of him :(<br /><br />A video of one of the songs performed by Cook, Billie Jean:<br /><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpX-kndqHnE&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QpX-kndqHnE&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Enjoy!</span>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-28695843141228974842008-04-16T22:44:00.003+00:002008-04-16T22:54:32.660+00:00Final exam<span style="font-family:verdana;">Is in approximately a months' time and I doubt I'm even half way through revising the entire 11 subjects.

It will be contested by some of the world's top players like Timo Boll for instance; a German player currently ranked 4th in world. A top Chinese player will also be present.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Some quick background information:</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><em><span style="font-family:verdana;">It is a six-man competition for huge prize money encompassing 2 quarter-finals, 2 semi-finals and a final. We're not only expecting to see world class table tennis but also the presence of 'special guests' that apparently, will take the breath away!

A friend once asked me, "Why are you going for a SPICE GIRLS concert? You're there to see old women??" </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Well, neither have I ever imagined that despite being one of their fans a decade ago. I vividly recalled liking </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Bunton"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Baby Spice </span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">then but 2 days ago, I was looking forward to see </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Beckham"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Posh Spice</span></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">. Ever since her marriage with David Beckham since 1999, Posh gained popularity not only as an English pop singer; but also as a fashion designer, occasional actress and dancer. Throughout the entire show, whenever Posh took to the microphone, the crowd will burst into insane applause, despite the fact that she did not sing that many lines. She certainly has the highest profile of the 5 of them and I don't think many would have gone for the concert if she was not a part of it.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">But no matter what, the rumour that the other 4 are seen as her backup dancers are certainly NOT true! I really enjoyed the solo performances of the 4 of them. Posh was the only one who did a catwalk for her solo; instead of singing. (Although I'm a fan of Posh, thank goodness she didn't sing. It would have been awful!)</span><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Posh's solo catwalk:</span></div><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/USpxqvhWfRs&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/USpxqvhWfRs&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Anyway, as an overall, concert was good.

What is most important is that my family, wife and children have personally accepted my apology.”</span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">His wife Datin Seri Wong Sek Hin said later in a statement that she and the family would stand by him. Dr Chua, who is MCA vice-president and Labis MP, said he would not be resigning over the sex DVD but would let the Prime Minister decide on the matter. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">“I have seen Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Ka Ting and I have personally apologised to them,” he said, reading from a one-page statement. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">He also apologised to Malaysians, his supporters and colleagues. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Dr Chua said he did not record the video clip. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">“I saw the DVD on Sunday when a friend gave a copy to me,” he said. <span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)">He said he was unsure whether the clips were recent or old. (what? -.-)</span></span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Asked about his political future, Dr Chua said: “I leave it to party members, leaders and the Malaysian public to be the judge. It's not for me to speculate.” </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Dr Chua, who was clad in a yellow batik shirt, said he met with Abdullah on Monday. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Asked about what had transpired and the reactions from Abdullah, Najib and Ong, he said it was better to get the reactions from them as he could not comment on their behalf. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">On his next course of action, Dr Chua said: “I will think about it after meeting the press.” </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">He said that although so far no police report had been lodged, the Inspector General of Police himself has initiated investigations. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">“Of course, as a responsible citizen I will assist in the police investigations. It is a crime to intrude into people’s privacy or into a person’s room,” he said. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Dr Chua said it would be business as usual for him. He had earlier attended a function at the Segamat hospital before holding the press conference at 4.10pm. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">Also present at the packed press conference were about 100 supporters and leaders, including state MCA deputy liaison chief Tan Kok Hong, Pulai Sebatang assemblyman Datuk Tee Siew Kiong, Senai Assemblyman Chun Yoon Fook and Pengkalan Rinting assemblyman Low Teh Hian. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">After the press conference, Dr Chua left for Bekok to meet with the Indian community there. “I will not let people tarnish, prevent and stop me from carrying the duties entrusted to me as a minister, MP and party leader,” he said. </span></p><p style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:78%;">He thanked his colleagues, supporters and Malaysians for their concern and support which he had received through phone calls and SMSes. </span></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Asked how his family was coping, Dr Chua appealed to the press to give him and his family space during this difficult time.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">What's on the mind of our very own politician? It is true that invading people's privacy is not right, but still! How would that reflect on the rest of the citizens when it's our very own leader who is doing such a thing? And, these news are already on CNN (<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/01/01/malaysia.minister.scandal.ap/index.html">source</a>) and BBC (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7167002.stm">source</a>)</span></p><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">It really takes a long time for a man to build up a good impression and it takes only one day for him to tarnish his image. Anyway, what's your point of view on this issue?</span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></span></p>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-71770784378443886322008-01-01T11:13:00.000+00:002008-11-19T06:19:51.380+00:002008 in London!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQj7Scs9G-bH9rlnpmd_OslvIqe5ihiYtQiAz2Sp1IZxhVS3p2b04oVRaJYI059PbA0Df5zTTFF9Ez7Lnf4h8ahSIn7ImI2hbY73zXlgQS04QaodeDjC5Ygewoipg5pYZVRnlclprCSOL9/s1600-h/fireworks2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQj7Scs9G-bH9rlnpmd_OslvIqe5ihiYtQiAz2Sp1IZxhVS3p2b04oVRaJYI059PbA0Df5zTTFF9Ez7Lnf4h8ahSIn7ImI2hbY73zXlgQS04QaodeDjC5Ygewoipg5pYZVRnlclprCSOL9/s320/fireworks2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150467720098109826" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">It took them 51 weeks of planning, </span><span style="font-family:verdana;">months of design work and a week of night-time construction - when tourists are scarce on London's South Bank - to lay the equipment necessary to welcome year 2008 with a <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">£1.3 million</span>, ten-minute bang. Designed by a French pyrotechnic (the <span style="font-style: italic;">emperor of pyrotechnics </span>whose previous triumphant displays include Millennium celebrations at Eiffel Tower, opening ceremony of Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and closing ceremony of 1998 World Cup in Paris) and his team from the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2004 Athens Olympics, this year's fireworks is probably the biggest in history. An approximate number of 700,000 people were here to witness this 10-minute show here at London.<br />Hence, that explains why this is probably the best fireworks I've ever seen in my whole entire life.

Personally, I thin</span><span style="font-family:verdana;">k it's not necessary as I don't believe that it'll certainly come true. However, I do have my own targets/goal to achieve for 2008. If you have your own resolutions, I'll be more than happy to hear it out :)<br /><br />Goodbye 2007 and together we shall welcome 2008.<br /><br />See the fireworks here for yourself: (Taken from BBC)<br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/v4tqsQktE2w&rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/v4tqsQktE2w&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /></span>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-32290630127171930622007-12-16T21:37:00.000+00:002008-01-02T06:24:58.439+00:00Holidays<span style="font-family:verdana;">I love and appreciate holidays.

Just as I was craving for turkey with cranberry since EESoc's dinner, I had the chance to have it once more! This time, I had it in the Senior Common Room (SCR) and my meal was sponsored by the Imperial Volunteering Centre (IVC) :D<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Well, I've </span><span style="font-size:100%;"><s style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">volunteered</span></s></span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span>worked for the IVC during a recent "University Crocus Pin Challenge" event. Basically, my task was to remove pins from its backing information card and encourage others to join and help us in it.</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"> Simple right?! Most importantly, I was paid for this </span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;">and lunch was sponsored! Haha. Not that I am in dire need of money at the moment but I guess I'm probably trying to do something to make myself feel better for spending so much recently. Well, I was supposed to study for tomorrow's WebCT test, but felt a little lazy and decided to do this in the afternoon.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />Now, I realised that the IVC is probably one of the best place to work at if you're looking for one-time off work and not a continuing one. Wages are certainly better than working at the Student Union/bar or Union shop. And, tasks allocated are really simple!<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-LK8CC-no-y-DbtptVL2YNhIQRXfz-16m7nYOSL1CL0mFsakyYY-Mloj1MaUaNoiwk7ufNY9MZE3uVg-AuKMoMGracxavt4OL7EZ7WF5tVdzzwVtRfrOu3T-s2fORNdaBLYPHQ81UGtC/s1600-h/12122007907.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD-LK8CC-no-y-DbtptVL2YNhIQRXfz-16m7nYOSL1CL0mFsakyYY-Mloj1MaUaNoiwk7ufNY9MZE3uVg-AuKMoMGracxavt4OL7EZ7WF5tVdzzwVtRfrOu3T-s2fORNdaBLYPHQ81UGtC/s320/12122007907.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143336358226739922" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:verdana;">My sponsored meal!<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Although it wasn't as good as the one I had in Kensington Marriott Hotel, it's still worth it!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span></div></div>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-4937639004771959362007-12-08T15:39:00.000+00:002008-11-19T06:19:52.146+00:00EESoc Christmas Dinner<span style="font-family:verdana;">EESoc's Christmas Dinner this year was held at Kensington Marriott Hotel (yes, of all places, it's the one opposite big Sainsbury's).

Both matches were extremely close and I thought I could have gotten 2 golds for that! Aihh.. Anyway, that's it for this year. Don't think I'm actually looking forward to next year. And honestly, I thought Nottingham Games would be the last ever ping pong competition I'll ever enter. Have been taking part in competitions for every year since 2001. It's probably time to retire in this and move on to probably another sport?

Still alive. I've not given up on blogging yet. Hehe.<br /><br />Currently, am still waiting for the internet connection to be done. It's taking ages. At least, the BT line (UK's phone line company) is now set-up. They're really slow and inefficient when it comes to just activating a telephone line! (worse than Telekom indeed)<br /><br />Anyhow, work (as a 2nd year EEE student) is piling up and it's already getting more difficult. I seriously don't know how I'm going to survive the lectures given by Papavasilliou or overcome the fear of failing Analogue Electronics! Hopefully, things will get better as time goes by.<br /><br />On another note, I've just attended the graduation of Cheng Chun, Charlotte, Chris Tock (list goes on) today. It's good to see everyone graduating with good honors and striving towards attaining their goals in life. I'll certainly miss the times and fun we had. Given the chance, I'm sure we'll meet again somewhere, someday. As for now, I wish you guys good luck in everything you do! Drop by and keep us informed of how things are (if you're not busy like Charlotte) hehe.<br /></span>Heng Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01913837443374203678noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-285411248090359043.post-76255518879357231282007-09-11T20:31:00.000+00:002008-01-02T06:31:19.796+00:00Some Random Thought<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Once again, I'll have to say goodbye to Malaysia real soon. Will be leaving for London in another 8 days. This time, I think I'll gleefully leave Malaysia without having any sorrowful thoughts.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A year ago, I vividly remember how excited, yet afraid I was to leave home. Nasty thoughts haunted me. I didn't want to enter a completely new and alien country. I wasn't sure if I was independent enough. I was afraid I could not pass this hurdle. I was really worried that I'll be all alone. I was afraid that I would give up and lose my scholarship.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">How wrong I was. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">This time, I really miss the fun I had in London. I miss my newly-made friends. I miss the ones from my department, MSoc, Lion Dance, ULUBUDA, Beit Hall and other universities. I've not been catching up with them (only through facebook) ever since I was back. Wanted to meet a lot of them but to no avail.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">On another note, I think I've changed a lot characteristically. That was the comment I had from everyone. Whether it's good or bad, it has yet to be discovered. I see it as a 50-50 thing. Or perhaps, 70-30. Thinking about my future, what I really want in life and the problems I have to face if I were to do this....or that; seem to be my current hobby. I neither condone this hobby nor enjoy thinking about it. It does affect me but I think it is not to be neglected. It's something I really have to face.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Sigh!
