A very short update before get into sleep..
I'm gonna have my final exam in less than 3 weeks, and yet I really had no clue about what's gonna happen. I don’t know why but today I suddenly felt tension of it. I wasn’t doing so well on previous quizzes, highest 78, lowest 4X, I would say my average mark right now is around 50-60. Final exam weighted 70% of final mark, which means if I don’t start to study now, I’ll seriously FAIL. I told myself at least I have to get 70% averagely no matter how. 5 subjects, 20 days left, 4 days/subject? Guess it's possible..will start revising it from tomorrow. God Bless~~
A few more things I have to remind myself..
1. Collect my fluid lab report and re-do one of it.
2. Complete ME Design Log Book
3. Submit long report(Creep testing)
4. Complete the project
5. Sleep more for the sake of not skipping lectures/sleep during lectures
6. Plan my time really wisely
That’s it..Nights :)

2009 F1 Malaysia Grand Prix
Watching F1 was always my dream since I was in high school. Why? I'm craving for that because of its speed, its power, its passion, and of course its God dammit screams. We got our tickets from a promotion booth at Segi College, cost Rm10/ticket instead of RM100. We didn't go for the exhibition, qualifying, and the concert by Jamiroquai(I don’t know who's he) but only the RACE.
Woke up pretty late this afternoon, took my shower, and went out having lunch with Suresh while waiting for his friend to pick us up. The race started at 5pm, we arrived at Sepang around 3pm and caught in the jam for >1hr until we arrived at our parking area. Parked our car, and quickly walked to entrance. Got our ticket scanned, and there we go.
The race started with Negaraku, and a testing lap by safety car, and drivers. When the national anthem being played, I felt kinda awkward, never been standing still as a crowd for a few years since graduated from high school, but yea..I can still remember how to sing it. Haha..The 2nd picture was taken during the testing lap. Our position is right after a sharp 90dgr turn, and then the driver will accelerates again. So when the first car passed by, I was seriously stunned by its sound, it really screamed until the floor was vibrating in very high frequency. As cars passed by continuously, I started to feel the pain inside my ear, and my head was getting heavier. After 10 laps, the cloud started to come upon our head, and the day is getting darker, until it started to rain on 15th laps and ended up we gave up watching it at 21st lap. Too bad, we didn’t witness to any accident.
On our way back to Subang Jaya, I was shocked when I heard the race was suspended from my friend, whose brother was watching Live at home, due to bad road condition and weather. After that, we continued watching at a Mamak Stall, while having our dinner there. By that time, the race was still suspending until 30 minutes later, it was announced as 'The race will not be restarted', and the race ended at 32nd lap. Raikkonen was out..too bad.

Here are 2 more pictures taken during the race.

License Renewal
Finally, my P-Percubaan(Trial) license had been renewed after expired for 2 weeks. This afternoon, right after lunch with friends, I went to Kelana Jaya and took LRT to Taman Jaya. From Google Earth, the JPJ office just locates beside the station, so I guess LRT is the best choice since I’d been fed up with parking these days. Arrived at Taman Jaya Station, go down the stairs and asked a lady about the exact location. The lady is actually those who helps people to register this and that, since some people don’t like waiting, and they do have some kind of 'privilege' so it can be done faster than it suppose to be. Well, since I’m so free, I just asked her about the location, who knows, the gate is just behind me, the building is hiding way at the back, and the gate/fence is newly built, no letters/emblem on it yet. Pretty much the same with the one at Ipoh, it's departmental, and you just need to follow those sign boards. Asked for a number tag at the reception counter and queued for that. It was a long queue, 50+ numbers to be called until mine. So I sited beside an Indian, and God dammit he started asking me hell lots of unnecessary Qs, like, my educational background, parents' info, we don’t know each other, and I really don’t think that I need to answer that, so I just pretended to be BM idiot, in fact I’m pretty much an idiot in BM speaking. Ended up I went for a pee, back to the room, and Thank God it was almost my turn. Renewed my license for 5 years for RM150, quite expensive, but it's only RM30/year, almost 10cent a day? Not too bad huh..
Ciao Guys..

24 March
Been driving in KL for 2 months, and today I lost in the town for the first time. After our 1st period ended at 10am, there were 8 of us planned to go 1U for a little relaxation. For those who use LDP often, there's a tunnel that you guys will usually go through when going towards Damansara Utama. Instead of going into it, I kept left and made a right turn on my way to Sri Hartamas/PJ area. Further ahead there's a U-turn, the distance is too short for lanes changing, and I missed that again. After that U-turn, signboard was no longer showing 'Damansara Utama', I started to get a little nervous, because friends were already waiting at 1U, and I made that stupid mistake. Since I’ve been Sri Hartamas, and I chosen to go there 1st since I believe it's quite near to Damansara Utama, only then make a U-turn. Along the way, I passed through National Science Center, which I had been there almost 10 years ago with family, still in pretty good shape. After 15 mins, wasted RM1 toll fee, and fuel, I managed to join LDP back, and continued driving towards 1U, what an awful mistakes. But in another sense, pretty contradictory when you're driving towards places that you don't know where it is, I was nervous of being in a new place, curious of what's surrounding you, excited of knowing where the hell am I.

21 March
It's Saturday and I woke up pretty early this morning. Had my breakfast with Suresh, who's going back to his hometown this afternoon. Fetched him at 9am and we ate at Hassan's Gallery, probably Suresh's favorite restaurant. Soon after that, his family also arrived at Subang Jaya and had their breakfast taken at there as well. For the sake of time, Suresh took me to his house for packing. As told, his room means the whole house is owned by an old lady, who is renting all the rooms in her house to students ONLY. I bet she earned a lot from that, one room cost approx. RM800, there are at least 4 rooms there, and you do the calculations. The good thing is, the whole house is extremely well kept, things are put nicely and accordingly, attached bathroom, plasma TV + astro, with some renovations as well, felt kinda comfortable of it.
After Suresh went away with his family, my friend, Kai Feng from Malacca met me up, just to have a little fun around my place. We both went to One U for lunch, a short while of window shopping, actually I thought of buying a short, but some of the price tag was seriously high enough to blow a big hole on my wallet, hence I gave up buying it, unless I really really like it so much until I can’t help of paying for it. We also watched the movie, The International. Again, I’m sux on summarizing story, and on the other hand I wasn't attracted to the story. All I can say is, it's about investigation of NYPD. For the rest of the day, we came back to Asia cafe, and played 23 rounds of pool, he can play really well, and definitely better than me, ended up he won me by 14-9, and seriously it was damn fun, and I really exhausted of standing for almost 3 hours. Talking of pool, it’s actually my part time study, me and my colleagues will show up in the pool club 90% of our free time, I found it greatly pleasures me, even when I swore when I missed the balls. Back to my day, after that, we went to KimGary at Sunway Pyramid for dinner and get back to our respective house and I actually spent almost all the day light hanging out today.
About study, there’s a quiz about integration and its application coming on Tuesday. Tomorrow I’m gonna spend all my day on tomorrow to revise this chapter, wish I can score better in the coming quiz, I’m looking for improvement right now, to keep motivating myself from time to time. We’re now approaching the end of Semester 1, God bless everyone will pass through with flying colors.

Klang's bak kut teh
we happened to have something very interesting today, we went to Klang to have bak kut teh at 10pm right after our class ended. 9 of us went in 2 cars, considered as our first outing, 2 hours trip to Klang. :p
Anyway, the whole trip took us around 30 mins, we went into wrong road for a few times before arriving, and i think i was driving pretty recklessly. The restaurant located just nearby the toll plaza, there's a few around there, but we chosen the one recommended by our buddies from Klang. We ordered 2 pots of bak kut teh, and of course side dish, yau zha guai. It tasted seriously better than ss14 one, the soup is more concentrated, and not in large portion, probably the best one i ever tried before. Price is pretty reasonable as well, RM9/head, MUCH cheaper than ss14 one, which usually cost around RM15/head.
Right after that, we came back to Subang for our beloved activities, pool at Asia Cafe, I'm seriously damn addicted to pool these days, if it's free, i can probably spend my whole day over there. I also met with my friend from hometown over there, played a few rounds with him, and then we 'chow'. After that, i went to library with another guy, it was the first time i stepped into the library for the sake of talking 'cock' with friends over there instead of studying, it's actually pretty noisy, people like us are discussing over there and there's only a very small enclosed area. So we were procrastinating until 4pm and started out last period, 6 hours gone just like that, we relaxed instead of studying. :p

25 Feb
At this moment I’m having a very strong motivation of updating my blog, after being pushed by a few of them.
Right after CNY, I started my Mechanical Engineering degree studies at Taylor's UC located at Subang Jaya. It's a twinning course which taken 2 years locally and another 2 years at UK. Generally speaking, it's totally a new thing for me, new school, new course, new friend, new area, and of course a brand new LIFE. First of all talking about friends, most of my course mates were actually taking their Pre-U at Taylor's previously, by that means they actually joined this course in a gang, and they already had their own group of friends. Honestly speaking, I’m not a very skilled person when socializing with strangers, and I’m not very aggressive in making new friends. During the first few days of lectures, I felt so afraid of being in a room with people that I don’t know, I tried to say Hi to a few of them but then on the next day, you'll become a total stranger to them again, I don't know if my voice was too soft, or they just pretended to be a deaf man. Sitting in a row with them but in fact you're just being a lonely guy. Anyway, I'm really glad that I’ve found my group of friends over a short time, and I felt that this is what I was actually looking for so long since Pre-u, pretty hardworking, cheerful, friendly, humble, and most importantly the willingness to be together with you. During our free/break time, we'll sometimes hangout at Asia café having lunch, in the cybercafé or having pool at Asia Club, studying in the ECA, surfing in The Web, and so on. From my heart, I feel so grateful of being friend with you guys.
Talking of lectures, my very first impression is the timetable, and basically the thing I hate the most. We had around 6 hours of class everyday, class starts from 8am to 6pm daily, and thank God Friday is slightly better, we start at 10am. All of our free time is framed between lectures. Well, there’s pros and cons behind it, pros is that we can actually spend more time together discussing about homework/assignments, rather than doing it at home oneself, solving the problem oneself. Cons is that we’re not having enough of time to rest, and I think I might need to give up my gym for the time being, I don’t wanna/can’t squeeze gymming into my schedule anymore, or I’m sure I’ll be really damn exhausted and in another sense it’s a wastage of money when I’ve no time to hit the gym on weekdays. Perhaps I’ll try to look around for those Pay-per-Entry gym centres.
The first 2 weeks of classes were really exhaustive as I don’t use to spend so many hours in school, and having 6-8 hours of lectures everyday. Thus, everyday is about new stuff, our digestive system have to be really efficient to absorb the entire syllabus. Teaching Methods are rather different than Pre-U, the pace is so much faster than before, and my life is so much plenitude than ever. We learnt 1-2 sub-chapters every period in pre-u, but we’re now doing a whole damn chapter each period, definitely a significant increment of work loads. I really needed to try my very best to adapt with this kind of supersonic long hours flight.
As time goes by, I guess everything will go even smoother, as long as I keep everything staying on the track everyday. Consider of everything is getting tougher everyday, I really had to be well prepared for every obstacles, and voyage, strive to get through everything, and eventually realize my dreams. Same wish goes to everyone of you guys as well, thanks for reading it, and sorry for not updating it for the past 2 months. :peace:
