Horrible Week, no, yes?

This week's a hell for me. I can expect heavy downpour in the afternoon and made me wet after the lectures. Thanks to the Foster and ntahsape2 who designed the academic complex of UTP. It is undeniable that the design is state-of-the-art (mind you that this building won Aga Khan award in 2007) but unfortunately hiring a foreigner to design building in the tropical country was a very serious mistake. The roof is so high that it useless to cover the people below from the torrential tropical rain. Walking from one block to another is real disaster and I was soaking wet by just walking from pocket D to class at block 21! I dunno what to say since I'm stuck in here until I graduate.

And for the first time, there was no black cloud during Analogue II lab. My oscillator circuit finally work like a charm. And for the first time me and my lab partner, Ana finished the lab and submit the lab report 1 hour earlier than the stipulated time. That entitled me to have a very peaceful lunch with Ana and friends.



I hope that will be a good sign despite the heavy afternoon downpour for the week. My PC suddenly switched off during Control System tutorial today. When I opened the case, I found out that my graphic card's fan blade was broken in two. That is a very peculiar problem. And I thought the reason my PC switched off is to prevent the GPU (graphic processing unit) from overheating. So I took out the graphic card and tried to power up my rig without it. Still, the system refused to switch on. Upon further investigation, I found out that the PSU (power supply unit) is completely burnt. The coil burnt so badly that it fry the circuit board around it. Guess I need to buy a new one. Damn! For now, I can just pray hard that the burnt PSU doesn't fry my motherboard too. Amin~

Sorry for the late updates!

Internet connection woes [sudden disconnections from several websites including Blogger], hectic life in UTP and the list goes on... Sorry for not updating this blog for weeks. Baru hari ni la dapat masuk Blogger utk update.

Nothing much to talk about. The most recent event was the departure of my fellow friend Hazmi Hijazi to Japan last week. He is pursuing his study in engineering in Japan. Thanks to Aizat for troubling himself to pick me and Syahidah in UTP and drove all the way from Banting just to pick us up. Thanks dude~ We will never forget that. The long and troublesome journey really paid us off as we were managed to meet Hazmi in KLIA to say farewell to him. Only me, Aizat, Syahidah and Arbaiyah were there to send Hazmi off to Japan. It was really meaningful to me and I hope [I believe all of our fellow colleagues too] Hazmi will do well in his study there. Good luck!

Owh, UTP is conducting TEC exhibition a.k.a sort of career day today. But I don't have chance yet to visit the booths there. Hope I will have some time to go there. Ok, I need to stop now as I have EMT class at 2. Bye!

Post Mid Semester Anxiety

Cuti midsem da abeh pon akhirnye. Means da maken dkat nk final exam. Tensen gler camni. Nk balek smalam pon xde mood. Xtaw la nape. Feel so intense, so anxious. Huish. Last nite delay is enuff 2 make me feel uneasy. And dat uneasiness does have good things in it. Of of them is I was being more cautious while driving last nite. Thank god 4 giving me hint thru dis anxiety. It really paid off as I wasn't speeding like I usually do and few kilometers ahead to Gopeng exit, the police set up a roadblock to nab the over speeding drivers. And luckily I wasn't caught dat nite tho I was cruising at 140kmph for a few seconds last nite. Hope today will be exciting and joyful for me. Ok la, nk mandi. Got lecture at 10.
