*Note: The content of this video may be rather obscene to certain people. If you think you'll be offended in anyway, please do not view it =) And, it's my FIRST performance! It has mistakes here and there (that is if you can point it out) but do forgive me okayy? Overall, our captain was impressed and we did pretty well!
Give me feedbacks about it :) And, hope you like it
30th Jan 2007 marks the Centenary of Imperial College London. It's a day of celebration for all the people at the College. Unfortunately, lectures were not cancelled and had to go on as usual :( Nevertheless, the celebration was rather impressive.
It all started off early in the day when the Queen Tower's bells were rung to herald the start of this momentous year for Imperial. Music was then played throughout the day. When I reached College, it was somewhat different to me. Not because there were balloons everywhere but I felt a slight change in environment. People were exceptionally jovial, excited and boisterous.
I had my lectures until 12pm and then, FREE to join the celebration! Lunch in SCR (Senior Common Room) was awesome. And, it's cheap!
Menu for the day. Only for £1.50!
This was what I had. I should have taken the Salmon! It would have been much better.
Imperial even has its own red wine :S

We waited for about 2 hours to enter Queens Tower :S
We were all bored and decided to take more photos. LOL

Royal Albert Hall from the top of the tower!
We had a free Centenary Cake!I seriously hate to be in this position. Yes, I did not sleep the whole night AGAIN. argh! I slept TOO much on Saturday night and couldn't sleep at all on Sunday. This is terrible.
Anyway, I got up at 7am(obviously! I didn't sleep). Did the usual stuff that I had to do, and blogged. Then, I received a call from Megan: lectures might be cancelled! For one second, I almost shrieked with joy. That was before I found out what happened. Apparently, Imperial received an unusual heavy package from elsewhere. And, there were no sign of identification of sender. They suspected it was a bomb and everything went haywire. I wasn't at college that time, so I missed the "best part", according to some of them. Guess what I was doing? I was busy packing breakfast since I knew lectures will be delayed, not cancelled. My intuition tells me that Imperial will NEVER cancel their lectures :(
I packed bread only. I know it's something simple and nothing to shout about but still, it's unusual for ME to pack breakfast! haha.Guess what?! It's already 4.40 am (UK time) and I'm not asleep yet. Before you people jump to conclusions of your own such as "Wah, study until so late. Crazy!" , allow me to clarify this: I've jammed (played o2jam) for 4 hours, and NOT study! lol. How pleasant life is, for once and for all :) I completely forgotten about all the things that I have to do. (which is something really distressing)
Now that I think of what I did, I feel rather flustered. I'm perfectly aware that my course is rather demanding, yet I'm still being ignorant about it.
Below are the list of things that I have to do: (before I can fly back to Malaysia peacefully)
week 8 - Slide Show presentation, 1200 words technical report deadline;
week 9 - Christmas Test, Driving Test
week 10 - (not sure what they're gonna do in this week either)
week 11 - Driving Test, Design Project deadline
The bolded ones are the ones which will be counted towards our degree. :(
Thankfully, the Christmas Test is not accessed. But still, I wouldn't want to completely screw it and make my personal tutor think that I've not been doing anything at all :S He has high hopes for me; perhaps it's due to the fact that I did quite well for my "Maths Diagnostic Test" in the 2nd week of this term.
And oh! For your info, 'Driving Test' is a programming test : We will be given a question paper WITHOUT pseudocodes; only words in English, and we're supposed to write out the codes in a program called Delphi. And, trust me. It's not that easy!
Arghhhh! I seriously don't know. I'm just worried of all these "petty" little things, as some would say. As far as I'm concerned for NOW, I'm really looking forward to returning back home to see my dear family, friends and all the people I miss.
Oopss. I think I shall stop here. It's already 4.53 am and I have a lion dance practise in the morning (10 am). Adios people! And, do wish me luck for the final 4 weeks :)
Are the things I dislike most in my course. I thought, initially, that I could depend on them to help me to gain some 'easy' marks. I'm so wrong! They're indeed more difficult to score, I think. It's rather demanding. Not to forget, they're ANNOYING because they have deadlines!! awww, the deadline of my presentation and 1200 words report is next week! And, I've not started anything yet. Sigh. There goes my free 'Saturday and Sunday'. I shall not complain and start working on it. Ranting about it in my blog wouldn't make a difference.
Lectures are alright though. Some were great, some boring (as usual), some interesting and funny! (but we don't learn much out of that lecture, unfortunately). I thought this clip is rather 'cute' and interesting in a way. Jeremy Pitt trying to juggle!!
It was taken by some student during Software Engineering (Jeremy Pitt's) class. This is what happens when we're in a busy course; i.e. lectures from 9am to 6pm on certain days. Ah! That's Imperial isn't it?
