me & my life's update

(^_^)

Lame kut da tak tulis real post here. Last time before exam. Seems that my writing mood just doesn't kick in much lately (this past year!?). Hmm .. so while waiting around at the lab, I think I should at least write some recent stuff in my life.

First off, I've been staying back in Uniten. It seems that I've joined robocon (finally after being rejected from UTP's for my bad grade :P )team. As our competition date draws nearer, we are staying back during the holiday/ special semester. So far's our progress seems OK. My team's 2 robot carriers are almost complete. Just few more adjustments for the body & kago holders, the auto's program, & then we can start training a driver for themanual bot. Huhu but it sure is going to be hell to drive the manual bot. So far, all our tests yesterday using two manual bots resulted in the kago falling, which means we disqualified/ have to go for resets. The manual bot also kept pushing & tilting the 'auto' bot in front, which is a disqualifying offence. Sigh ~ hope we'll make it work before the fated time. 5-10 May 2009. GOGOGO!!

Munzir went back to UK today, after a 3weeks 3 days (if im not mistaken) easter holiday. Sent him at the LCCT. His flight left the ground at 5pm (tentatively). He'd arrive at London on 12am(GMT) but his bus will only leave for Leeds at 9. Sian die ~ hope he can find somewhere comfy to sleep. ALL THE BEST KAT SANA :) See you in June.

Regarding Munzir, mama had to drive home alone from here to jb. Sian kat mama, I thought of joining her, but then how am I going to go back here? By bus? Who's gonna pick me up? I've also taken 1 week off from the stayback, I feel wrong to just suddenly take another weekend off just like that. :( Sorry mama. I know these excuses means nothing, mama still drived home alone. :( I'm just glad mama arrived home safely tadi. WAIT FOR MY RETURN THIS SATURDAY, MAMA :)

Ayah's 100th day is coming up this Monday. I'l be home to be the representative at the masjid for ayah's tahlil. So I'll be coming home this Saturday. AL-FATIHAH FOR AYAH. Hmm lots of stuff need to be taken care of regarding ayah's inheritance.

Now back to work, robotnik!! (man ... I missed watching sonic cartoons like the old days)

robotnic!!

Jum wat keje!!!

btw, selamat 3 tahun!!

:: my day ::

place: at home

feeling: not sleepy yet

what did I do today:

Woke up quite late, 7.30am. There goes my subuh. After fetching Alya, we went for breakfast. Nasi lemak + kerang2. Didn't have much appetite coz lately, I've been only eating in the late afternoon & evening. After I sent her to her office, I went back to my room & started 'transporting' the 2 new PCs (cpu + monitor + kibod&mouse) from my 4th floor room to my car. Luckily I'm using the lift, so it wasn't much work (still, quite tiring). So, I began my journey back home to Johor. All smooth sailing. A quick stop at Seri Putra to deliver the PCs, then home-bound!!
Was I wrong!!
After carrying the 2 PCs up to the office, went to fill up my car's tank & tyres. Then I saw it, a freaking nail, sticking out from my left-rear tyre!! No wonder it's so damn flat. So, off to the tyre shop for some quick patch-up. After it's done, off to JB~~
Again, I was wrong!!
I realised that I've left my backpack on my bed back in UNITEN. So, I doubleback to UNITEN, coz u see, the bag contains the money I needed to buy SAFF's stuffs. Man, how could I be so careless?? After the (rushed + 'gruelling') journey back to UNITEN, only then I was able to really start my 'balik kampung'.

Arrived home safely in the afternoon. First, I went to SAFF's office to install Kak Shidah's new monitor. Then I went back home. Home sweet home, at last. When I arrived home, my first thought was "Man, the house's really lonely." Our helper, Makcik Tutik is on holiday. So, only mama, firah, & I is at home. We just ate a simple dinner for the night, nasik + kuah paprik, home made, using old serai. Mama a.k.a the chef was quoted saying "kurang sedap, klu daun serainye fresh lagik, bole lagi sedap ni" Hehehe, nevertheless, I still think it's good, & we finished it all. Firah's been buggin me to help he open a blog. Hehehe, it seems that watching her father & brothers writing blogs made her want to have one. (^-^) Such cute lil' girl. "Esok tenet ade abg ajar, ye?"
Well, the funny thing is how she actually ask.
"Abang, fira nak tulis blog"
"Tulis laa."
" ... "
Mama then said, "What she means is ajar la camne nak tulis blog"
Hehehe indirect approach by firah, & lurus bendol answer by big bro "MUAHAHAHA!"

Got my last semester's result 2 days ago. Haven't shown it to anyone but Alya. Thought of showing to mama today, but the 'net's been down till now, when mama & Firah's already asleep. So, tomorrow I shall bring the not-so-good news to mama.

Sigh, I need to "get my acts together". That's what ayah always tell me. Study thoroughly. Don't waste this second chance. Redeem yourself. Well, actully I'm not really sure which one is ayah's & which one is mine. But the bottom line is, TOPeX, u've done sh#t, now that u've got a 2nd chance, don't #$%^(*& blew it!! Hope everyone who knew my story will have a head-start warning as to what might happen if u let urself do sh#t. I'm lucky to have a 2nd chance, & I'm very thankful. But will every1 got a 2nd chance? THM, learn from my mistake!

Aaah, such long time my break from writing is. Felt this way in a long time I have not. Adios, off to dreamland!! Starting Monday 8am classes I shall be having. Go to sleep early that I need most.

-yod...err..TOPeX out-

Holiday o holidays

After a long silence, suddenly this will be the last week of my 1 month sem break. Whatever happened to the 2nd-half of my semester? Next week I'll be starting my 3rd semester here in UNITEN. Settled my accommodation. I finally got a room in C1, though it's tid worse than my previous room.

• no window. Yup, u read right, my room got no freakin' GLASS WINDOW, just an empty hole where a glass window shud be!! Why on earth would the prev occupant rid the room of a glass window, I have absolutely no idea. Now I'm faced with muscle cramps due to the night's cold air. *sigh*
• The shower head's gone missing, a normal occurrence, also it's urm . . . 'tombol(???)' to turn the shower on. Had to use a spanner to turn the shower on. HOW COOL IS THAT?!!
• The toilet's lamp's out (like my old house's shower room.)
  
• The wardrobe mirror's also missing. Maybe the guy before had problem with seeing his own face. *sigh*
• The study tables are missing 1 chair. The lounge's sofa set is also missing one single seater.

I'm now own some PC hunting mode for SAFF. The company got some computer allocations for 2008, so I have to get few computers, some Office & AutoCADs, and maybe a storage solution, a server maybe, or just a simple RAID-able network storage device. Hmmmm. Been to the Mines yesterday, bought a 19" widescreen for Kak Shidah at JB's office. Will bring it back this weekend. I'm actually test-driving the LCD right now!! :D Though, I seem to be unable to take the 'base leg' off for re-storage. -_-"

• LCD for kak shida (done)
• 4 mid-range computer, no CAD, just basic office stuffs
• 4 autoCAD LT licenses (did you know each copy of LT '09 costs almost 5k???)
• 4 MS Office licenses
• Digital storage solution for archiving old drawings, meeting minutes, letters, etc. (should I get a server with RAID SCSI HDD? or is there a network storage device capable of RAID? I'm going for RAID coz one of the office's portable drive just broke down again, & with it all the crucial data within)

On another note, the exam's result will be announced within this week. DOKI² shimasu!! All I can do now is pray & hope for the best!!

Till next I feel like writing, adios!

It's week 8 7 already?

Been quite busy lately. 3 test day-to-day. (^-^) Lucky the mid-sem breaks is just around the corner. I feel so tired!! Feels like going to sleep for ten days. Even the breaks don't seem nice enough, because just after the break, it's back to hellish workish everydayish flushisdkaldnlesfnkjsdkajlnfreulgish!!!

2 lab reports on Monday, Project 1 for electronics lab, design challenge 1 for digital lab, essays for BM on tuesday, and the list goes on.

(^-^) happy holidays ~~ (NOT!!! prepare for ur worst nightmare!!!)

Bukit Tinggi

Just came back from a 3 days and 2 nights (actually it's just 2d2n) holiday.

Man .. t'was tiring, especially being the driver. Huhuhu ...

I'll start off why is this holiday quite important... Well, we haven't had a full-quorum holiday for quite some time. There's always one or two of us missing. So, when Hadi was to come back for this mere 2 weeks, Ayah told me, "Abang, pi carik tmpat kite leh pi holiday that weekend." The only weekend Hadi's here. "Bukit Tinggi ok tak? Aritu mama cakap cam teringin nak pi sane." said I.

So I searched & search, but not until mama 'helped' that we finally booked a Selesa Hillhomes apartment. Mama called and asked for the 3-room-apartments, but none were available for the 2 nights. So, we settled with the 2-room-apartments.

Lil' that we know, that 2-room-apartment was the same (though not the exact same unit) as the one we rented out years ago, when we were still small. I barely remembers that trip to Bukit Tinggi.

So we set off to our second Bukit Tinggi trip (1st for Fira & 3rd for kakak) at around 5, Friday. And we arrived around 8 (I think ... didn't remember .. hmmm)

We went to a few places, took a lot of pictures, and we tire ourselves. :P
I'll write in more in details later.

Ayah's blog has more pictures & stories. (^_^)
