Lebih kurang 1 jam

Post ni takde kene mengena dengan Earth Hour yer. However for those yg participate in supporting the Earth Hour, aku tujukan lagu ni - 'Mother Earth' by Within Temptation. Kat sini mcm takde apa2 pun. Aku tau pasal Earth Hour ni pun sebab layan Diari AF hari2 (sambil makan atau buat assignment yer).

Malam tadi, tengah sedap layan Julia Juli kat TV9.com, tetiba tengok jam dah pukul 2am. Rasa macam baru jer pukul 12am, so aku expect pukul 1. Camna boleh tetiba pukul 2 lak ni. Apa pun, kene tido. Kalau tak, ada yg bangun pukul 12pm esok. So aku pun tido lah. Sebelum tido, check hp dulu... tengok2 ada notification... bgtau yg jam dah diubah ikut daylight saving. Isk... patut lah tetiba dah pukul 2. Forward 1 hour rupanya. Tapi laptop ni tak notify apa2 plak. Nasib baik hp aku kira canggih, automatic change the time & ada notification.

Terbeliak sekejap mata tengok waktu Maghrib pukul 7:42pm. Pocket Islam yg aku install dalam hp aku ni pun bijak gak. Terus niat nak ganti posa hari ni. Yay, tinggal sehari jer lagi! Kalau boleh taknak lah ganti posa bukak pukul 8 lebih kan. Kalau posa bulan Ramadhan tu dah memang tak boleh buat apa.

Ok itu citer kehilangan 1 jam.

Bulan Oktober masa 1 hour backward, tak rasa apa2 plak. Tapi masa tu memang aku tau & ingat. Bila pukul 12am, ok I got another hour of 12am. Hmmm... extra 1 hour... hmmm... ok.

Tu lah dia, masa ni tak pernah cukup. Lebih 1 jam tak rasa apa2, kurang 1 jam terasa plak. Paling best kalau dapat hentikan masa macam puteri2 kayangan dalam Julia Juli tu. Hehee... aku abis layan 15 episod weekend ni. So far citer ni belum menyakitkan hati aku lg & kelakar gak, jadi tak sabar nak tengok episod seterusnya.

Btw, tomorrow is the moment of truth. Esok, jadual periksa kuar. So, I can decide when shall I go home. Kalau boleh, tak nak pikir sgt pasal balik ni. Pening kepala tau (ditambah rasa sedih & frust). So tengok lah camna nanti. Kalau ada rezeki dari segi masa, insyaAllah I'll go home. Otherwise, aku redha (kalau aku meraung sorang2 dalam bilik ni, bukan ada sesiapa tau pun). Yg penting, masa takkan berhenti. InsyaAllah, bulan 9 nanti I'll be back for good.

"Young Padawan, be rational you must. Mourn, do not. The ticket you should cancel, " Master Yoda adviced me.

I have 5 assignments to be submitted on 1/4, 3/4, 24/4, 6/5 and 8/5. I hardly start doing the latter 4. I have a class test on 4/5. The exams will start right after the end of semester 2 which will be on 11/5.

I need extra time to finish all the assigments and study for the exams. & that extra time is during this coming 3-weeks spring break.

Btw, not just we have to submit IC assignment during the break (the main reason of winter in my heart), there'll be lab sessions on 7 & 21/4 even not compulasory. Really crazy. Yes, I do mean the demonstrator indeed.

Should I go home then?

Absolutely not. That's the rational me talking.

However, I didn't reply "Yes Master" to Yoda's advice. I haven't make my final decision. I know I'm a bad Padawan. Camna nak jd master ni...

Ok before continuing lightsaber practice, let's enjoy this YouTube.

I can't decide the title either "Life is more miserable when I lose my focus..." or "Fight & focus. I'm half way there."

Either one, I've learned. Focus is very important. I realize that when I lose it, I only make the hard thing becomes harder.

Somehow my mind was very distracted last week. Maybe it's just hard for me to consume the fact that I might not be able to go home. However regarding to this post, I exaggerated a lil bit when I said that even the coming spring doesn't interest me. I love to see the blooms! It's wonderful to see grass with flowers... like in The Sims, the PC games (not to mention the boring PS2 version). Kalau lah lalang kat umah aku berbunga macam ni, alangkah indahnya.

Ok focus. I'm struggling to finish the microprocessor assignment. I hope that I could finish it on Monday. Really, due to the losing of focus, I couldn't think straight & made a lot of mistakes while designing the program. I tended to mix up things (take this post title as an example). So, my advice to all the students, researchers or anyone who cracks his/her brain cells to get certificate or paid, no matter how brilliant (jangan muntah dulu, I don't mean myself ok) you are, your IQ rate will flop when you lose your focus.

It's almost 2am but still I need to focus & continue working on the assignment. Boringnya konsert AF tadi.

Notakaki: Boringnya konsert AF tadi.

Winter In My Heart

It's week 8 already. Based on this, I will go back home 2 weeks from now. However, I haven't decide. Today, the demonstrator for IC assignment told us that he won't extend the due date which is April 24 & he'd be here during the Easter break.

Now I find more reasons to hate IC. The break doesn't mean anything then if the due date is during the break.

I have no clue. Apart of me saying amendment to the return date is not enough. I should just cancel the tix. Seriously, I don't know what should I do.

If... if I cancel the tix, & somehow the demonstrator extend the due date, I might feel like killing him.

I do presume that he would extend the due date somehow, but will only notify us a week before.

Of course I have another 2 assignments to be considered.

I don't like winter, i don't like the coldness... but now I feel like it's winter in my heart. The coming spring doesn't even interest me anymore.

Cintaku 100%

Suspen jer tajuk kan...

I was shocked when I saw the mark online. Could possibly be a typo. Never thought 100% in an assignment would be possible.

I believe that there'd be mistakes here & there in the report... the result, discussion & design might not be perfect & the conclusion might not satisfy the lecturer. Even though your system works, the report that counts. It's tiring try to describe & explain everything in a piece (or pieces) of paper.

Especially for the toughest assignment I'd say. Aku siap mimpi clock bit masa buat assignment ni tau... check here. However, I guess I was lucky that my design did work even before the actual due date. But for most of the students, they were struggling to make it worked, that the lecturer had to extend the due date. He even increased the mark from 15% of the final mark to 20%.

One more thing, never thought that my work would be classified as a 'high class' work. Hahaaa... kinda funny actually. Well, I guess sometimes you just don't know that you were actually good. I am humble, you know... :D

Take a break!

With Double Choca Mocha...

Isnin ni aku ada 2 assignment nak kene anta & 1 pembentangan. Badanku penat kerana duduk di depan laptop sepanjang hari. Satu lagi, kenapa lah bila nak present, aku mesti nervous. I know, it's normal & somehow when you've already in front of the audience, in a snap you'll get over the nervousness. Tapi... hey this is supposed to be a short post. So, I'll stop whining.

Btw, ini bukan pertama kali aku present depan kelas. Semester lepas pun ada gak (check this post). 25% drp markah keseluruhan subjek ni tau. Semester ni pun sama. Somehow, semester lepas, despite the depress, I did a good job. Aku dapat markah yg agak tinggi gak lah. I guess I was lucky. I hope this time, luck will be with me too. Kitorang kene present pasal projek yg kitorang akan buat nanti. Semester lepas cuma pengenalan, semester ni kene citer lebih lg. Dengan kelas, tambah projek lagi... oppsss... I'm about to whine again.

That's it. Gotta finish the drink & continue the works!

I'm afraid to start & will be doing nothing which is ok if I really have nothing to do but reading late into the night...

About 5 weeks ago, after the exam has finished (check this post), I spent the weekend reading these novels.

Firstly...

Secondly...

At last, I've finished 'The Firm'. I took quite a very long time to finish it. See, the book even traveled with me to this country. Lucky book. I stopped reading it before because I was quite upset with the storyline. I don't understand why his wife & the secretary had to do the digging job. It's dangerous ok. Can't FBI do that? I don't understand how the authorities work in US I guess.

The second novel, I'd say very nice. I was hooked. There was a time I gave up reading chick-flick novels because somehow most of them are damn boring. However, I'm not dissapointed with this one. Beside this novel, I also bought Dean Ko^ontz's.

Here, books are quite cheap. I can get 2 for GBP7. 2 good novels. A week ago, I bought another two.

I saw this novel & wanted to buy it. So, I have to find another one. There was 'Twilight'. I talked to myself maybe I should try to read it. If I like it, then I can buy the other two for GBP7. Somehow, I never tempted to read the novel if I've already watched the movie. There was 'The Reader' as well. I'd like to read it. Suddenly I saw this one & decided to buy it just because of the quote on the cover.

'HOME'... I think the most intriguing word for me now. Really, I want to be closer to home. The cover is very beautiful with shiny thingy, like a greeting card. I bought the book without even reading the synopsis. To my surprise, the story is actually set here in Liverpool! Then it hit me... all you need is love... all I need is love... Beatles song!

I really want to spend some times to read the Clarks' book. If only I have that some times, free from any assignment. Unfortunately, I won't be free for a while.

Sabar jer lah.

By the way, this post has just break the record of the-post-with-the-longest-title in this blog. Hiks.
