Fun Fact 1: David Khoo haven’t studied a single thing about Computer Networks
Fun Fact 2: David Khoo needs to cover 14 chapters (each chapter avg = 60 slides) by today
Fun Fact 3: David Khoo doesn’t like Computer Networks and suck at it horribly (screwed up in midterms)
Conclusion: Remember the song that goes something like “Oh, oh, you’re in trouble …” ? Yeah, I’m pretty sure i%
Air Pollution
by TortoiseBoy on May.18, 2008, under Philosophical Me
To the residents living near my dwelling place,
Dear Mak Cik - Mak Cik and Pak Cik-Pak Cik sekalian,
Please STOP BURNING! your garbage and leftovers. We are living in a modern society where there are garbage trucks to pick up your garbage! Stop polluting the air that i’m breathing with open burning.
(Screaming at the top of my lungs)
Gosh, these people are still stuck in some ice age and stuff. It’s already so freakin hot and miserable and these people wants to cause further misery by adding smoke into the air. (Scowling)
Dear Environmentalists,
If you ever drop by Bukit Beruang in Malacca during the evening hours, you will be seeing a lot of smoke. Seriously, i mean, A LOT of smoke.
Why? Simple reason, the people living in the kampung areas here are still stuck in some Zaman Purbakala.
I’m starting to believe that they are addicted to burning things. They really like to burn things here, from the weeds in their garden to their garbage. It makes me wonder why they don’t burn their own house down. That would be fun to watch considering the misery they’ve caused the people who are living in these areas.
Not just the normal residence, but also the army camp nearby. There was once when i went hiking with my friend behind the army camp hoping to enjoy some fresh air but when i got there, SMOKE was awaiting me. I mean, aren’t the army supposed to be a batallion of highly disciplined people? I wonder why they too like to burn their garbage. Maybe they should go through some Re-education. Gosh, i seriously hate smoke be it from cigarettes or from open burning. They make my lungs choke…
I was studying before deciding to write this entry. Then, due to being pissy at the amount of smoke i’m inhaling, i decided to rant about it here.
I seriously hope that those people conducting open burning out there would be punished. Can’t wait to get my hands on the hotline. I’ll report all the burnings that i see happening. Smoke really causes misery to people like me who have nose problems. Alright then, adios!
Dim Sum’ing
by TortoiseBoy on May.18, 2008, under Daily Life Happenings
Weee! Just came back from Dim Sum, its 7am in the morning. Wahahaha.
After weeks of sleeping at 4am and waking up at 2pm, i finally decided to reschedule myself back to what normal human beings do, which is sleeping at around 12am. So, last night, i slept at 10pm. (A miracle!)
Sleeping at 10pm was wonderful, but sadly, my sleep was cut short because some friends came over at around 12am. I soon awoke and when i looked at my phone, it was 1am in the morning. Wahahaha. Amazingly enough, i feel refreshed (As i always do whenever i sleep by 10pm).
Anyway, played a round of DoTA and after that i went looking for my notes which are thrown all over the place due to me being too busy to organize them. (Its suffering to look at all the papers but i’m just going to bare with it for a while, its going to be over soon)
So, after organizing my notes, i proceeded to study about 2 chapters of each paper. So, i did 6 chapters. Wee! Another accomplishment. On Tuesday, that paper has like 25 chapters. I’m freaking out a bit but i think its going to be okay since i did quite well in my coursework.
By the time i finished studying, it was already 6am so i woke one of my roomies and another friend from their sleep and we went for DIM SUM! Wee! Cool! Yeah! Woohoo!
Upon returning, i’m now happily blogging away while my roommates are all in Dream Land. Hmm… i think i should go take a 2 hour nap and wake up for church later. Tee hee… (Still have a lot of stuff to study, around 18 chapters on average for 3 papers = 54 chapters, OMG!). Alright then, good night! (or rather, morning)
Wish me luck for my papers!
I am in… doubt???
by TortoiseBoy on May.17, 2008, under Daily Life Happenings, Studies
Okay, i’m in the midst of examinations right now and i don’t like it.
For my maths paper i think i might fail it. Who knows? My brain decided to continue functioning during that morning so i can’t sleep due to processing all the information that i’ve acquired a day before exams. So, i went to the darn venue and let’s just say that it wasn’t a really cool situation.
Oh well, there’s nothing i can do about it.
Somehow i’m not really studying these days. As the years pass by, i slowly begin to wonder whether i’m really suited for IT. I mean, i seriously don’t like anything about IT. None of the courses that i’ve taken so far has manage to intrigue me. Furthermore, i find no relevance between what i’m studying and the things that i usually do. Even though I seriously hate IT, no one believes me because i’m passing my subjects.
I think people should stop assuming that i like certain things just because i do not fail at doing them. So, sometimes i do feel like rebelling against what people think and hence i’m purposely beginning to slack off just to show people that i suck at it. Hah! Take that! Then again, i feel foolish for doing so because i’m the one that’s going to suffer. Sighs…
Guess i lost my goal, but wait a minute, i had none to begin with. Yeah, i’m a person without any dreams or aspiration. Just living my existance on mother earth. Whenever i talk to people, i feel stupid for not having any aspiration. Some of my friends talk about their goals, their future, their dream to one day become somebody in this world. Me on the other hand, hmm… i feel like a box with nothing inside except a void that sucks the life out of everyone i come into contact with… (I sound a little depressed here, well, maybe its the stress that’s getting to me).
I hope that someday i will find a goal of some sort and fight for it. Else, i’ll just be another aimless zombie.
Final Exams, i blundered
by TortoiseBoy on May.11, 2008, under Studies
Argh, did some mistakes in the Internet Computing paper today. Crap!
I forgot to study one part but could luckily recall some stuff.
Took 2 papers today.
The first paper almost made my wrist go retarded. I wrote a 5 page essay. (I’ve been using the keyboard too much and its freakin hard to handwrite nowadays).
By the time i finish the 2nd paper, my wrist decided to malfunction and i had to swing it here and there for blood to flow into it. (I wrote 6 pages of answer for the 2nd paper). I think i should refrain from using the keyboard too much but i don’t think that’s possible since i’m sitting in front of the computer most of the time.
I think i’ll have to rest my hand after exams. Maybe i should treat my wrist to a massage or something.
One more thing to rant about. During my first paper which was at 9am, one of the invigilators has BO(body odor) and boy oh boy, does he stink. Guess what happened. He decided to hang around my table for like 2 minutes while i was trying to come up with the plot for my story. I couldn’t think darn it!
Then came the second paper at 2:30pm. During the examination, people were asking for the value of Phi. University students! Seriously, i was laughing my butt off silently. Then after that, some idiots beside me who have no integrity whatsoever decided to discuss answers in their own native language. Bastards! I seriously hate them. Stupid human beings. They should just study and do what they can instead of copying each other. Darn it.
Alright, that’s about it for today, i still have a paper tomorrow, huhuhu, after which i can take a 2 days break while studying for Resource Management. Darn it, my brain is currently too full. Need to expand memory to store information for the paper tomorrow. Arrghhhhh! (Feeling really miserable right now, haven’t slept for 36 hours).
Ganbate! Ganbate!
Missing My Friends & I Hate Studying
by TortoiseBoy on May.10, 2008, under Daily Life Happenings
Ikemasu! Like who in the blue world would love studying?
Answer: No One, unless its something i’m interested in (Usually things that are unproductive)
I’m bored to death reading theories and memorizing formulas. Seriously, what is the point of all this? After reading comes the regurgitation moment (final exams coming up soon) and i don’t really feel like vomiting information out from my guts. Argh! Spending a few days in KL having fun wasn’t enough. (I’m so greedy)
Sighs… I really miss hanging out with my Indonesian friends. Gosh, i miss their liveliness and their bickering. I miss hanging out with my friends! Wanna go hang out! Want to! Wish to! Hope to!
Knock… knock…
Whose there?
Answer: REALITY CHECK (FIRST 2 papers is in 2 days time and you haven’t studied a single shit, *ahem)
Okay, so, Mr. David doesn’t want to study cause its really boring and when he reads nothing goes into his brain. So its not wrong to not study right?
WRONG ANSWER!
Mr. David needs to study cause there are 7 papers altogether and it would be bad to fail any one of them. So, stop blogging you stupid idiot and go study!
I digress. Like i said, i really miss hanging out with my Indonesian friends and talking with my own twisted version of the Indonesian accent. (I get laughed a lot, but that’s not what i’m writing about now, *ahem)
Sadly i won’t see them this Sunday too, and the next 4 Sundays too! Gosh, this is so bad. Hmm… we’re drifting apart! (being overly dramatic). All these thanks to bloody exams this Sunday.
Ooo, just checked my schedule, it seems that i’ll be able to meet them next Sunday! Weeee! Well, hopefully they don’t have papers then, else it would be bloody stupid of me to be happy for nothing.
Well, i’ve done enough ranting for now so i’ll go back to staring blankly at my screen criticizing those stupid people who prepared ugly slides and dare distribute them to students to stare at as their lecture notes. Adios!
My Human Expressions
by TortoiseBoy on May.08, 2008, under Daily Life Happenings
Wore a shirt today that my friend bought for me. It has pictures of expressions all over it so i was thinking to write some funny stuff about it, so here it is:
This is how i express these emotions.
THE GOOD ONES:
Happy: Smile
Glad: Smiles until my teeth are shown, practically beaming away
Pleased: Smile, followed by saying “hehehe”
Excited: Adrenaline rush, sweats, eyes grow wide, breathes faster
Contented: When food is not concerned, just smile and thank God
ELSE Smile followed by saying “aaaahhhhhhhh”
(usually after eating something delicious)
Joy: Smiles for a whole day and talks non-stop and bugs people
THE BAD ONES:
Sad: Finds a close friend or call back to any relative and tell my sad story.
Angry: Rarely, but once incurred, consider the subject of my anger doomed.
Jealous: Aims eyes at the subject, “Shining green laser beams, attack!”
Sorry: Can’t sleep, eat and talk properly until i go and apologize
Guilty: Feels horrible and scolds self for doing something bad
Depressed: Wants people to talk to me but shoos them away to show toughness
Pain: Says “OOOWWWWWWW!”, happens a lot to my feet, they sometimes feel like being ripped apart.
Indifference: Total ignorance, practice the saying “Ignorance is bliss”
Lying: Looks down on the floor a lot when i’m lying. (Usually lie on behalf of others)
Tired: Opens room door, close room door, arrange pillow, aim head to pillow, throws head to pillow.
Lost: Looks blankly at friends nearby trying to grasp the situation.
Dreaming: Hmm… if its too good a dream, there’ll be saliva involved, hahahaha.
Hungry: Emotionless. Drags anyone that i know nearby to eat. (Hahahaha)
Down: Stays quiet for a whole day.
Disappointed: Says “Tsk, tsk. tsk, haihz, that fella har…………….”
Unconscious: Drops to the bed and sleep?
Grumpy: Looks at any living being nearby suspiciously and ignores them
Confused: Looks shocked, eyes and mouth opened, followed by “Lidat how ar?”

Sometimes i wish to be alone
Away from selfish people
Who always seek the throne
Sometimes i wish to shed tears
Whenever i’m confronted
With all my worst fears
Sometimes i wish to laugh
To celebrate together
To be happy on others’ behalf
Yet wishes remain wishes
For i’m surrounded by throne seekers
I can’t shed tears for both my eyes are dry
And i can’t laugh for my voice have been silenced
Holiday Spree???
by TortoiseBoy on May.04, 2008, under Daily Life Happenings
Well, i came to KL last Friday and it has seriously been awesome. Visited a lot of shopping malls (but couldn’t buy anything cause the things here are like so expensive).
So, that’s that.
I do have stuff to complain about. The LRT. That thing needs to be maintained. Sitting on it was not enjoyable or comfortable at all. There is this irritating sound like “Grreeek…grrrrrreeekk….” and when the LRT turns, it feels as if the whole thing is going to fall of the rail. Stupid thing. The monorail was much better.
Hmm… what else is there to say? Urm, i had a lot of food (eating J. CO donuts right now). Guess i had a really enjoyable time eating food (Yesterday was a wedding dinner). Happy and contented. Hahaha.
Okay, gotta go. Have been hearing a lot of things going on with my friends in Malacca. I hope everything is going smoothly there.
Well, gotta go, don’t really want to write a lot. I’m tired. XD
I’ll be going back to Malacca tomorrow. After that, have to start studying once again.
Goodbye!
