Life goes on...

It's time to put my life back on track! Whatever happens, it happens for a reason. If it was meant for you, it will. And if it doesn't, always try another. These quotes are the ones that I've always remember. Woke up at 8.30am today. Had to meet my supervisor at 10.00am. Sad part was, me and another partner had to wait for him till 12pm, as he had something else to do. Completed our discussion in an hour.

Went to the library at 3pm. Reorganize all my files and folders, clear up all the junks and etc. Haha, more like computer maintenance. Did a lil research on my final year project. I'll explain in detail later regarding my project. Thank God for his greatness in granting my first choice title which is The Automated Multi-Based Parking System. Something like the one you see in Sunway Pyramid but not as advance as that for sure.

2nd intake is tomorrow! Hope there will be nice & decent girls, which I doubt it'll happen. Wanted to participate in PPMS, but I have 3 classes and lots more stuffs to catch up with. Ohh btw, I got BAND 4 for my MUET (Malaysian University English Test). Pretty satisfied and grateful with it haha. Till then, see you around. Do drop some comments on the cbox/posts yeah thx!

If only...

Life has been hectic lately. Hehe, ever since I met her...she was the one that keeps me going. Whoever reads this might know who is it, but for those who don't...you'll know someday. Hmmp, the first thing that came to my mind when I wake up is her smile. I'll just rest on my bed for some time...and think. What can I do today? What should I do keep myself out of this miserable moment? Talking about miserable, let's see what's causes my life to be miserable.

There's one night when she told me that she has broke up with her bf. I was surprise. It's like out of no where, she just told me that. I told myself not to assume anything, because when assumption doesn't strike, it hurts badly. I just let it be, giving myself another chance to wake up ever since my downfall on year 2004. The pain has gone, but the scar remains. A painful memory to remember, but shall never ever be repeated. I swore...

Few days later, she told me that her relationship is back intact. Heh, I was heartbroken. Looks like things will not go as I've planned. I am speechless...so I just say...great. There's nothing I can do....an open door that I thought was going to be open for me...has just closed. Some asked whether I should tell her my feelings or not. The answer is no. She's in relationship now, and I don't want her to think of anything else except herself and her bf. As long as she's comfortable, I'm okay with it. Heh, feels better now. I shall remain quiet, continue with my own daily routine....and leave the rest in memories....God bless both of you :)

Hang out time!

Class was pretty ok this first week. My lecturers we're pretty okay, except for Encik Zul. Gahh, the pressure is on, but somehow all of us seems to be struggling doing Microcontroller. I've gotta agree that En.Zul is a great lecturer, but just the way he conduct his lectures. Sometimes, he goes too fast...sometimes he expects too much from us. I also do know that he wants to maintain the standard of the Diploma Computer Engineering, bt he should also consider our situation as well. Anyways, I will have to study extra hard this round as this will be my final semester in UniMAP.

Went to the library this morning with Vernoon. We have been close friends ever since we met in PPMS. Had to rush back to Kampung Wai at 3pm, because my RPS (Rakan Pendamping Siswa) wants to see me. Sad to say that there's is no bus to Kampung Wai. Told my room mate to help me out. Thanks to Kite & Elvin, I do not have to see him on Monday.

Later at night, Me, Kite, Vernoon, Mell, Guat Yee, Nuta & Chia Ling went for dinner at a seafood restaurant called Hai Tien. It was pretty bad at first, cause Nuta is vegetarian, and most of the dishes are not vegeterian. That includes the Kai Lan as well. Here's a short convo between us and the tauke.

Kite: Why is the Sizzling vegetables not vegetarian? There is dried shrimps in it!!
Tauke: No, you said whether there is chicken in it or not.
So I said no. I just put dried shrimps in it.

----- Part one settle -----

Kite: We ordered the Claypot vegetables. Why is there egg in it? I thought you said it is 100% vegetarian!??!
Marcus: Yeah, why is there egg in it. Vegeterians can't eat egg u dumbass (I tokoh tambah the dumbass k)
Tauke: Most of the vegeterians here eat egg. How would I know whether you want egg or not?
Kite: Well, you said most! Not all right? Basically, our friend here can't eat egg and the whole dish is ****ed up. Can we have a replacement because we didn't even eat it yet.
Tauke: No you can't have a replacement.
Kite: Then what are we supposed to do now? Our friend is vegeterian and he can't eat a damn thing because of the egg stuff in it.
Tauke. Alright then, I will have to take out my pocket money and pay for that dish....

----- Part 2 settle -----

Let the pictures do the talking. I'm tired haha...

Day 5 - The Epilogue

The last day of PPMS is here. This day marks the end of our job as PPMS, which also means that we can finally have our beauty sleep and rest for the next few days. Don't worry, we will still help you out. At 8.00am, we had some morning exercise with the Vice Chancellor at Dewan 2020. This morning exercise is known as SenamRobik.

Later in the afternoon, all the new intake students will have to shift out of their temporary hostel at Kampung Wai. Then, they will be shifting to their permanent hostel according to their course.
For example, Computer Engineering students will stay in Kampung Wai. We PPMS had to check the houses and sign the students Hostel Slip before they are allowed to shift out.

Last Call!!!

At night, me, Jie Lun, Nutanaya, Mel, Chia Ling, Swan, Kite, Chin Chin and Seong Gee had a couple of beers from 7-11. A pic of the half-sasau Mel.

Day 4 - UniMAP Orientation

On the 4th day, there were nothing much going on. Just assisting the students in registering their subjects. Since I'm from PPK Computer & Communication Engineering, I will be helping out my own juniors for sure. The worst part is my President, Mat Nor asked whether he could leave me with the job of handling the whole Diploma + Degree students. Since he's like so busy and all, I decided to take up the job.

Thank goodness everything went well. Not much complaints from the students. Had nasi lemak for breakfast and then head back to the computer lab, where students will register their subjects online.

At night, we went for the Majlis Ramah Mesra which is held in Dewan 2020. This assembly is one of the best part of MSK (Minggu SuaiKenal). The new intake that made it through the audition will be performing on stage fr this Majlis Ramah Mesra. We, PPMS (Pembantu Pelajar Minggu SuaiKenal) had to perform the Cowboy dance. It was pretty screwed up since most of us didn't have enough practice. I was in the front line haha.

Day 3 - UniMAP Orientation

Something least expected happen today. I became the emcee (English) for Majlis Sambutan Siswa-Siswi. This is one of the most important ceremony in UniMAP, where all the lecturers, deans, and vice cancellor gather together. I can't afford to screw up anything. Everything must be formal! At first, I did not have any translations for the script. I freaked out!! "Dude, you've gotta get me my script. This is my 1st time, and I can't spontaneously translate Malay to English with just one snap"

Later, one of the staffs gave me the full script with some edits due to grammatical errors. And so it began..."Announcing the arrival of His Hononary, General Brigadier Datuk Professor Dr. Kamaruddin bin Hussin, Vice Cancellor of University Malaysia Perlis"... Around 2.30pm-6.30pm, there will be speeches and talks. So, I decided to sleep upstairs...as I was so tired and worn-out. Imagine, 2 hours of sleep a day.

Day 2 - UniMAP Orientation

I had about 2 hours of sleep today. Let's see. Post mortem ends at 3am and I woke up at 5.30am. I just hate to force myself out of the bed! It's like "Come on Marcus, you don't have enough sleep. Just 5 more minutes alright". Anyways, my job was to take care of the Muamalat Bank counter. Ensure that no students cut the que and etc... At first, the whole place was hectic! Many of us PPMS don't really know what we should do. There were so much congestion in each counter. I myself was unsure of what I am supposed to do. But everything went well later...

In the evening, we went to Dewan 2020 for the Raptai Majlis Sambutan Siswa/Siswi. In this ceremony, all the students will have to sign the "Aku Janji" form. Upon signing this "Aku Janji" form, students have agreed to pay the Uni fees and abide to the rules & regulations of University Malaysia Perlis. Congratulations to all the new students of UniMAP. You are one of us now. XD

Maka kami, warga UniMAP...
