Next Tuesday - CCNA 3 theory exam
Next Tuesday - Have to hand in whatever i can on Final Year Project thesis to supervisor
Next Wednesday - High Speed Networks Exam and CCNA 3 lab continuously

Dear God! Give me strength! (’Ganbate kudasai’ to myself)
Amen!    0.(>_<).0

(A pic of what i did 2 years ago in class when i was bored… this DIGI pamphlet had this guy’s face on it, so i couldn’t help but do something more interesting than paying attention to what the lecturer was saying… So, i ended up producing this splendid piece of artwork)

Hello dear blog, i have missed you so terribly much and so today i’ll lavish you with a lot of words and sentences that i will be using to compose my RANT. Now let us begin shall we?

Item 1:
Every single day seems to mummify me. I am tired… I am really tired… I am really really tired… (repeat 100x)

The dates on my planner’s calendar seems to be almost fully highlighted, signaling that i am doomed to face deadlines. You know why they call them DeadLines? Personally, i think it’s because by the time we reach it, we’ll be almost dead… (but i think i’ll be dead even before i reach them)

” I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by “~ Douglas Adam

With all the midterm examinations, interim report, literature review, meetings, projects and assignments and whatever else there is to do and the ‘oh so little time’ to do them, i practically end up as a vampire by night (since i have to sleep late) and a zombie by day (since i don’t get enough sleep). Now, when i look in the mirror, I’m beginning to see Albert Einstein, and the reason is not because i think I’m a genius but rather because of the similarity in our hairstyles. You know… the crazy looking flying hair that somehow defies the laws of gravity and sticks 90 degrees to the left and right of your head? Yeah, that is what I’m talking about.

Item 2:
So, anyway, in order to obtain my degree, i have this thing called a ‘Final Year Project’ which i think should have been called ‘Final Year Punishment’ instead. It’s sort of a way for the university to torture you for the very last time before you graduate and since it’s the final punishment, it has got to be the most horrible, cruel, putrid and evil thing that you’ll have to face in your undergaduate life.  So, as part of the FYP,  i am required to write a  compilation of redundant information thesis. Now, having to write a thesis is torture because you’ll have to open up your mind and practically try to ‘be one with the universe’ and figure out something that hasn’t been thought of by any one of the gazillion Earthlings on planet Earth for the so many years that Earthlings have existed. Basically, that means not to copy-paste from Wikipedia ‘infringe other people’s copyright’. So, go figure! (I’m exaggerating and dramatizing it, so just leave me be…)

Moreover, the ‘Laws of Alignment & Measurements’ really does NOT make any sense. Why do educational institutions make our lives miserable by enforcing such things as ‘ALIGNMENTS’? It’s rather stupid don’t you think? And here i thought that the Renaissance had occurred and they came up with this concept called ‘individualism’. So, technically, shouldn’t that mean that we can all use our own alignments and fonts and whatever typeface that we like? Why! are we heading back to the dark ages? Why! must we all follow the stupid laws of uniformity and conformity and write using the same format? THAT! is why i hate formal writing… you have to follow someone’s style of writing just because some influential organization happen to like the format…Blergh…

Item 3:
Lastly, something that is totally not germane to the title but whatever. The cursed weather of Malaysia!
I have lived for 20 years in Malaysia and the weather has not been so crazy until recently that it’s just driving me mad!

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,
wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;
there is really no such thing as bad weather,
only different kinds of good weather.
~ John Ruskin ~

Boy oh boy, the person i just quoted from must have never been to the tropics like Malaysia. Definitely no snow here! The sunlight can literally burn your back if you walk under it in the afternoon. When the wind blows, it’s like hot air… Another thing is that when it rains, the temperature doesn’t go down, it rises! Now let’s get a bit scientific:
1) The sun heats the tarred road
2) The road absorbs the heat and stores the energy
3) Along comes the rain (it always starts by drizzling)
4) Rain droplets touch the energized burning tarred road
5) Rain droplets gain energy from the tarred road, turning itself into hot water vapors
6) Resulting in STEAM
7) Steam touches your skin…

Ever been to a Chinese Restaurant and ordered steamed fish? Yeah, that’s what happens when it rains in Malaysia. Just imagine that you’re the fish instead… (get the idea?)
(And i wonder why tourists like to come here to BURN THEMSELVES sunbathe at the beaches).

God must be punishing me for cursing the weather (it just started to rain T_T)

Okaaay, so i am hating the weather, hating my ‘to-do list’ and also hating myself for being a hater. Hmm… does that make sense? I guess not, but who cares. It’s a blog, not a thesis  o(>.<)o

Alright, i have to go now. I hope to type in you again my dear blog. Tata!
