Free for the week!

Hah, handed in coursework on Thursday and hell yeah I'm free of assignments for now. That was the most tedious assignment I've ever done before in uni so far. Since I started doing it, I've been waking up early every morning and sleeping late after midnight doing it. The day before the deadline, I actually did it till 4am in the next morning before going to bed. Woke up at 7.45 am and went to class. Had sleep only for like 3 hours 45 minutes? lol. Omg fucking stress that time serious. lol

When I handed it in, I was so relieved. Finally, I can sleep early and wake up late again for the weekend. Everyone was rushing it and yea was quite fun haha. Had dinner at home and guess what? I actually went back to the library to save some files into my U drive which I didn't save when I handed in my assignment. Well, hopefully they haven't extracted the files from my driver yet.

Hope to rest as much as possible before starting next week's classes again. :(

Start of 2nd Term

Its already the 2nd week of 2nd semester and loads of work are starting to pour in. Sounds shitty but pretty interesting and exciting though. Simulink report due Thursday and Project Design Exercise taking place currently. Phew damn stress sia. Today just solved the 2nd Order Differential Equation for the Simulink Coursework and hell yea I'm going to start writing the report itself tomorrow and run the simulations required. Tedious work though.

Yea, it is not that cold already now. Snow stopped and it's back to those gloomy wet days in Birmingham. PS: Foggy too! Nothing much to say now as I'm pretty tired and sleepy to be honest. Going to beed soon after I've written down some important points for my group meeting taking place tomorrow. Decent gourp I reckon for the Project and yea pretty confident of working together and getting some potential high grades for this module to patch up for my above average Conputing for Design module.

Oh well, that's all I suppose. Chinese New Year is coming eh. Another year abroad without CNY celebration with my family and friends back in Malaysia. What can I do though?! huh. lol.

New Year Resolutions Found !

Now, I have succeeded in finding my new year resolutions. Don't want to be long-winded so here they are:
  1. Be a more organised person.
  2. Tidy up my room.
  3. Arrange my notes and work properly and accordingly.
  4. Talk more! or be more outspoken (This includes crap :)) but not in lectures though :)
  5. Be more observant (This includes observing girls roaming around) NOT stalking :)
  6. Be more productive at working (Has been every year's resolution)
  7. Don't make silly and careless mistakes (Always lets me down at crucial times CB) :)

I thought of writing this because I actually realised how disorganised I am as a student. I can honestly tell you, my room now looks like a junkyard. Papers everywhere. :( In addition to that, being disorganised in my work also triggered me to write. So, disorganise while doing reports and coursework. Just handed in my Lab Reports. Not much of the marks but still a considerable amount. The first and most important report (coz it counts 15% FOR REACTORS AND CATALYSIS) I can say I'm satisfied with it just FORGOTTEN to add 1 value and all because I'm disorganised. CB. Then the second report. Not that important but still... No mistakes done here just forgotten to include a table(s) and explaining how I got to a result. I will definitely lose marks for that I can admit :( However, I did think out of the box this time (hopefully) by including conclusions and recommendations in them although not being requested to do so. No harm putting it in as I don't think they'll deduct marks for doing that. All of these loss of marks are due to me being disorganised and I'm seriously want to be orgnised and that would be my top priority this year. Oh well, have to start by cleaning up my room :) LOL Ciao

Time to return to Midlands

Yea, my 2 weeks in London has come to an end. I'm going to return back to Brimingham tomorrow which is the 3rd of January 2010! Happy New YEar! My attemps to complete 2 reports have utterly failed. However, I've nearly complete 1 of them and half done the other 1. Not too bad afterall. Apart from those 2 labs reports, I have another Simulink assignment which I started a few days after the start of the winter break but then delayed it because I was stucked in one of the sections; gotta get back to that as soon as possible.

To be honest, I had a very good time in London. Great food, great people especially my cousins :D as well as the temperamental weather which didn't impressed me too much haha. Heard that it's snowing in Birmingham and hell yeah I like snow even though it might be frigging cold outside but then looking at the white view clearly take some pain and suffering off of me :D

This trip to London, I met up with uni friends and went to several places but not many as the bad weather stopped our initial attempts. Had great food with my cousins as well as learning a few new dishes to be prepared for meal. Magnificant! Oh well, my cousins bought me a Trench coat as well as a shirt. A big Thank You to them!

I didn't really do much during my stay here but I have to admit I really did some serious work during my first week here especially nearly finihsing one of my lab reports; a quality one I suppose lol. But the second week wasn't that productive to be honest. Slacked ~~ Was playing Starcraft mostly during the night as well as DotA and now I'm sick of them both because I just got sick of them really. Might take a break from those for an indefinite period. I think my Starcraft got better but still a long way to be "good". I'm no fanatic to be a good Starcraft player. Just trying to be a little bit good in it so that I can at least pawn some ppl when am back in Msia lol. I was a Zerg user so long ago but now I think Terran impresses me the most. Saw several videos on how professional Korean players play using Terran and they are absolutely magnificant! Their micromanagement and macromanagement are just a fun to watch :D Alright save it ! XD

Alright going back Birmingham. It's time to mug again (well at least semi-mug). Gotta refill my fridge with food as I literally finished everything in the fridge before I left for London. ahahahaha XD
