sigh...missed the class

Shit..I thought today is Wednesday, 3rd day of class, coz I had my first class on Wednesday this week. I woke up at 12.20pm as usual, and took a bath. Half way bathing, only I realized it's Friday, class starts on 12.30pm, and it was almost timed up and I was still taking my bath. Decided to skip the class instead of rushing myself badly, and end up late classing for 15 mins which will result in absence. After all, today's class is about graphing as told, I’m pretty much alright with that, just a little more effort needed to master it.

Damn, presentation nightmare struck me again, having 2 presentations on the coming 2 weeks. Review presentation-curve sketching, and ISU presentation. Thankfully, for the ISU presentation, we're allowed to choose our preferred group mates, or I’ll be really fed up working with some idiots. As for the review presentation, I’m gonna prepare the slide and some questions during this weekend, I really hate staying back after class and discuss about it with group mate. I admit that I can do much better on my own, since I used to accept others' ideas to avoid all sorts of unnecessary arguments, but then the product is not what I wished to see. Perhaps I really need to learn how to carry out group works nicely.

Just managed to switch on my computer after >100 trials, there was some problem with the graphic card since last month, just don’t feel like fixing it, it's way too hassle to send it to HP Tower again. As long as it don’t go too wild, I’ll just let it be until my sem break, then I’ll send it to HP centre locates at Bercham.

Phew...I’m having a really fatigue day. Was watching drama until 2.30am, woke up at 6am, caught a taxi at 7.25am, arrived at Sunway at 10.45am, went to class on 12.15pm, finished class at 4.00pm, and had my computer turned on 5pm. Really damn sleepy wei....The first time I almost fell asleep on class when lectures going on. Perhaps I need to prepare some toothpicks next time during such kind of situation, to keep my eyes open. Gonna get some sleeps now before having dinner with friends later. Ciao~

24 Oct

hey guys, never had an entry for exactly a month. Was being pretty good these days. Just feel like writing about my life at this moment.

I'm gonna finish my CIMP very soon, a total of less than 4 weeks of classes. Final exam fell on the last week of November, and my last paper ends on my birthday, what a coincidence, wish I can do really well on that. Am gonna be doing engineering after this, most probably at Taylor's UC. I had been scratching my head on all these stuff throughout these months. It's a twinning program, BEng(1+2) or MEng(2+2). They're both undergraduate. Humbly say, I can get into both types of degrees, but what really matters me is money. 2 years in UK is gonna cost up to RM200k+-, and I guess my parents can hardly afford that within 2 years. Furthermore, each year spent in Malaysia costs around RM40k. So the total would be either 240k or 280k. Hence, my friend and I came out with a solution, instead of 1+2, we make it as 2+1, but as far as I heard, in order to be recognized by IMechE, ECUK (Institution of Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Council of UK), one has to study at a particular university for 2 years, or he/she is just a normal engineer after graduation, and not eligible to own any title(CEng, IEng, Ir and so on), which is valuable for engineers. On the other hand, I received a different idea from the UK side(U of Birmingham and IMechE, ECUK), ECUK claimed that it's all depends on the school itself, while UoB replied that spending 1 year in their school is always alright for a recognized engineer.

Until we went to Taylor's UC yesterday, the counselor fetched us back to out very first problem, which is spending 2 years in UK is a must. Sigh...and the Malay told that there's another Engineer Board, IEB, International Engineering Board. I went home and searched google'ed that, guess what? IEB is Institution of Engineering, BANGLADESH. WTH!! I doubted that she had outdated, or she failed in memorizing stuff. Whatever it is, I’m gonna submit the application form after I came back from Deepavali, as well as calling the UK side once again to double confirm.
