The battle begins

My body is still sore from a whole day of reading. I seriously think i need a desk and a really comfy cushiony chair in my room. Studying on the dinner table is just wack man. My back hurts from sitting too long on that hard wooden chair. But i'm sure the thought of me taking my first exam paper would trigger an anxiety fitz that would somehow manage to mask the pain away. Yes! Today, the battle begins. 4 papers, 2 weeks and one student. Who will be the victor? I sure hope it'll be me. I've been diligently revising. I know i wasn't as attentive as i could be for the year cos there were multiple number diagrams and theories in my books that looked really unfamiliar to me. My first thought was, "I must have dosed off, again." But i think i'll be able to pull through. I know i can and i know i will.

I've already applied for UNI with the 5 sem results i already have so that means for this exams, i just have to do my best man and just stay in the game. I think i have already cleared the modules which means even if i don't do too good for this exam, i would still clear poly. But hey, its not about clearing the obstacle, but its about clearing the obstacle with style, meaning with quality. My goal: make sure my GPA don't fall too much until it gets below a 3. Right now its 3.222 which is pretty darn close to me not making my goal. So fellow friends (and even enemies cos i really need all the luck i can get) that have finished your final semester, do wish me luck.

Today's paper is at 6pm and ends at 8pm. Yep yep, the timings pretty wack but i've gotten used to it cos SP always has papers at that kind of timing. At least for me.

Where is the love?

I just realised that it was 15 February and that i have missed Valentine's day, the most famous and remembered date in the month of February. Valentine's Day has always been a day where lovebirds exchange gifts of love, where they embrace each other's company etc. So what happens if you are single? Do you have to miss out on this day? In my opinion, those who are single could still have a piece of the pie. Instead of celebrating the love you have with your girlfriend, use this day to celebrate love itself. Love in general - like loving yourself, loving your parents, loving your family. Anything you love, anything at all. Even food. How? Maybe you can enjoy your fav. dish or meal with your friends?

Well my V'day wasn't so good. In fact i didn't even notice it was the famous 14th. My brain was so overwhelmed from memorizing information for this examination i have on Monday. Haha. So much for love. I ain't feeling no love. All i feel is just the excruciating agony.

Before i know it...it begins

I was looking at the calendar on my mac and it reminded me of how much time i have left to prepare for my final exam. Its not alot of time man, I only have 7 days to pull my shit together. So i start wondering, hmm, 4 modules, around 5 past year papers per module plus one nearly-finished project. Would i be able to work my magic within 7 days? This is not including me going back and forth between the papers and my textbook desperately looking for details on a certain circuitry. Then i started panicking. I figured i gotta come out with a plan.

I came up with this.

• Tuesday - settle PED past year papers
• Wednesday - settle remaining PED papers
• Thursday - settle DC past year papers
• Friday - settle PGT pas year papers
• Saturday - settle PGT as well as start on N&P
• Sunday - N&P memorizations and papers
• Monday - last minute N&P prep

Ok, so coming up with a plan is one thing. Making sure that i actually follow it is another. But this is the last stretch of my poly life man. I better do it. Its a must. Thinking about it, actually its relatively easy to get a high GPA in poly. For my course at least. The only thing that is holding us back is ourselves. To be honest, all you have to do is make sure u do the past year papers and thats it. Its kinda like the O levels. Its just that we are just bloody lazy. At least i know i am freakin lazy. I always end up rushing the week before exams. But its just how i roll man. Ok peace out. Hopefully i am disciplined enough to follow the plan.

Finally completed...

Ok, so i haven't been blogging for while now. It's not that i'm lazy to write but i have been reading this book called 'The 47th Samurai' written by Stephen Hunter and i really dig the story. Ok, if you're wondering what made me not blog for days, here is a glimpse of it.


How i found out about the book? Ok my bro came home one day with this book in his hand. I thought well, if my bro is reading it, the story must be something cos i never see my bro reading a novel once in my life. So, one day i saw the book lying around and started to read and it got me hooked and i just wanted to finish it. So i kept reading and reading....until finally today, i finished reading it and GODDAMN i love the book even more.

Ok the story goes like this, this Japanese guy, Philip Yano, went to America to recover a sword his father wielded in the battle of Iwo Jima back in 1945. As Americans take swords and whatnot from the Japanese as a token of their victory, he traced the sword to this guy, the protagonist, Bob Lee Swagger who was the son of the American who apparently was the one who "killed" his father in Iwo Jima . So this Bob Lee Swagger went through all extremes trying to find this sword that he never knew he had and personally went to Japan to return it to its rightful owner as he thought that it would only be right for him to return the sword to the family of whom it belongs to. Ok, here is where the plot thickens. Unknown to both Philip and Earl, the sword was actually a legendary sword that goes way back to the 1500s in the time of the Samurais and was found to be of a great cultural value - basically a sword that people would kill for.....

I would love to finish the story but u guys have to find out for yourselves. Get the book and read it. It's a good book to read. Plus it has a taste of Japanese culture in it - whether true or not still provides an interesting touch to the ever so thrilling plot. So yeah get the book, read it, and u can thank me lator on for introducing this book to u. Plus my favourite quote from the book, "Steel cuts flesh / steel cuts bone / steel does not cut steel ". haha....love that quote.

oh yeah, one more thing. U know the movie 'Shooter'? It's inspired from a book Stephen Hunter wrote called 'Point of Impact'. So if u like the movie, i think his books will do u good. Anyways, i'm glad i'm done with the book so now i can start studying for my Semestral Exams. Anyways, a new journey starts tommorow i guess, a life filled with equations, thoeries to memorize as well as tonnes of past year papers. So adios amigos. I hope i have the strength and courage to pull me through this obstacle. I know i will for I-AM-SAMURAI! HAI!

SHOCKING but true..

First of all, i would like to share a video that really made my day.



Ok so i hope that video somehow makes your day better. Well, its been like 5 days since i last posted something so i'm gonna summarize everything. I found out something interesting from my cousin yesterday. This piece of info i found out really shocked me. During the long weekend break (CNY), my cousin went for a trip to malaysia (which i could've tagged along if not for my projects). He went for a short holiday at the usual retreat which is Pantai Morib. We always have our holiday there cos the hotel there is awesome! But somehow he went through an interesting kampung experience this time round (without me, which sucks) cos my aunt was going for some massage at a kampung nearby the hotel. Ok so, my cousin and his family reached the kampung and the massage session starts. As usual, since we are not from malaysia, the locals there would ask them where our hotel was and where they would usually eat. So the masseuse asks my aunt and so my aunt answers that they always eat at this restaurant called "Restoran Juvita" (Yes, we always have our meals there every single time we go to Pantai Morib cos the place seems to be crowded which implies that the food is good). The masseuse suddenly tells them that she is sorry to say this but she wants them to know that the restaurant was apparently using some black magic to attract customers to their shop. It was said that the owner of the restaurant learned this dark magic from Siam (Thailand). The masseuse said that the owner has this pet Monkey Spirits which helps to make the shop more 'popular'.The shocking thing is that these monkey spirits would urinate or shit on the food we are eating to make them seem delicious and have the effect of us wanting more.

When my cousin told me the story i was appalled and wanted to puke. Cos i remmeber the last time i was there i drank a HUGE glass of coconut drink. And man, believe me, the glass was HUGE. Does it mean i just drank a huge glass of monkey piss?
