Assignments and Research

The more I look at my research assignments the more scarier they become. I mean, the paper is alright. 500-700 words on energy consumption of an average household and energy consumption of bicycle vs normal forms of transportation. Seems simple enough I thought at first, until you read the criteria.

They want you to produce all kinds of research evidence of this and that and every single thing you say must be referenced and such. I mean, what the hell? "Opinions are not accepted, all of your findings must be researched based and proven with the appropriate references"

Meaning, every single thing I write I have to reference to something/someone? "In modern days, monkeys poo and eat bananas." Where on earth am I suppose to find reference to that? Isn't that like, common sense? Geez, is it just me, or am I bloody lost it this?

Work, Laptop, Aion

Goodness gracious me. Assignments just seem to get that much more extreme every time I look at them. They are getting so tough! It's hardly 2 months into Uni and I'm starting to hate it already! Uni life just isn't turning out how I hope it would. I thought I could still chill as much as I did in Inti, but my thoughts wrong! Epic Phail!

Anyway this week has been quite the busy shit. Crappy assignments and crappy lab reports. They are tough nuts to crack! All I've been doing recently is doing my assignments, lab and watching this damn crappy webinars. If you don't know what a webinar is, it's lectures uploaded online. Means I don't have to go for lectures, not that I don't want to, it's I don't have to! Cause the lecturer doesn't turn up anyway. It's quite cool in a way that you can go eveyrthing at your own time, but that's also pretty much the downside of it too.

Well, other then working, there's something else on my mine. To those who I've been chatting to recently would easily know what is on my brain haunting and eating away at my sanity. Okay, goig a little to the extreme here but seriously it's half the thing on my mind other then the worklaod now. What could it be? I wish it was a hot chick! But unfortunately it isn't. It's Aion! That god damned game that is just, WAY awesome. I look at videos, pictures, everything! I thought when I was waiting for Dragonica it was bad, this is worst! I just want it so bad now!

Anyway, enough about that. Life hasn't been that interesting. My laptop is still dead, waiting on it to get fixed but it's just NOT happening right now. Those damn brainless operators keep screwing things up. My laptop should have been fixed by now if it weren't for the retardedness of this people. Idiots, 'nuff said.

Looks like this post is turning into another wall of text. I'm sorry, the last thing I took a picture of was a rotating machine for my lab. Don't think you want to see that, it's crap anyways! No pictures, unless you want Aion! Then I've got plenty to show, videos too!

Wall of Text?

Sorry about the last post. There used to be something there, but now it's most probably gone forever. It's for the better. Those who say it good for you, those who didn't, no worries, you didn't miss much. Anyway It's been slightly over a month since I've been to Aussie, and it saddens me to say that I'm not going to upload any pics at them moment. Well mainly cause I didn't take much pictures in the first place. Was never the type that liked taking pictures anyway.

So, since I came here there have been a couple of ups and downs. But unfortunately for me it has mostly been down. Seems like it's been bad thing after bad thing that has been happening this few days. But anyway, let's just start with some of the good stuff. Well, so far my classes have been pretty interesting. I'm taking 4 subjects this semester which is, Dynamics and Control II (Holy Godly Tough Shit), Stress Analysis (So far not too bad, just gotta brush up on some of my statics), English (Bullshit I gotta take English) and lastly Engineering System Design and Communication (which is most probably the second toughest subject now).

Anyway, a little something something about System Design. There isn't an exam, instead it has a semester long Assignment. To do what? Design a bicycle. Sounds fun? Sure it does. Actually fun? In your dreams. I thought it was pretty fun to, but when I found out the amount of work I gotta do... not so fun. But it's still pretty darn interesting to play around with a cool design and stuff.

Well, lets move on to the not so happening things. First major trouble I hit was my connection. Connection limit in my aunt's house is really little which is quite hard. And the plan she's on is REALLY expensive. So I decided to make some changes around here. UNFORTUNATELY, the link in my aunt's house DOESN'T support a better line, meaning no ADSL. Which is pretty mouth opening. Guess I gotta do with the crappy limits for now. Atleast the speeds are decently fast. Which makes things harder trying not to download/watch videos online with speeds like this.

Next is the MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR problem. What happen? What could be so major? My laptop crashed on me. You heard right. My laptop has gone kahput. Just little over a month here my laptop decides to call it a life and break on me. I can't be bothered to explain the details anymore cause I've been talking to Dell Technicians through the phone all afternoon getting nothing done. Skipping minor details, from what I can diagnose it's either my LCD or my graphics card that kicked the bucket. Either way it's going to cost a bomb to repair it. Well, it's not so bad. I still have my warranty... not. The very WORST part of all this, my warranty voided last week. Hurrah, hurray. No warranty to save my arse from this. Lucky for me nothing important in my HDD there, only in my D drive is all my songs and stuff. Hopefully all of that stays in tact.

Else, nothing interesting has come about yet. Looks like I won't be getting my dose of AION this coming beta unless my lappy can miraculously get fixed by the middle of the month. Impossible, pretty much. Just a little update on how things are going. Some things are giong pretty swell, and some things are just slapping the face.

The New Life

Something

A little something something for you guys.

All this pics are taken from my new handphone camera just to test it all out. Resized so I can upload them faster.


So a couple of pics for my room. This is my bed, nothing too special.


This is my work place. Nothing too special either.


Today I went for a little walk around some park. Took a couple of pictures too.

Pictures aren't too bad I guess. Looking pretty decent in good lighting.

Australia!

Hey people! Yes, I'm finally in Australia! Adelaide to be more exact. Well, honestly there's nothing much to show you guys yet. I haven't really been around much. Just been spending some time running around getting my stuff done like setting up an account and stuff.

So how have I been? So far no feeling. I'm still drawing a blank here. Maybe it still hasn't hit me yet. Still feel like I'm in Australia for a holiday instead of studying. Went to Uni a couple of days back and got my student card and a couple of "Adelaide Student Guide Books" That I've been checking out. Telling about how's the public transport and places to go to.

So today I went to IKEA to get a table and a chair for me to work with and just got it fixed and up. Couple of days back went testing the public transport and stuff. I'd be grabbin buses to classes every morning. Might be a pain at first but will get used to it. Still hoping I can get a car! But it's a distant dream.

Anyway, most probably I'll be getting my number tomorrow hope I get a nice easy to remember number I can use. Well, anyway, signing off. No pictures yet, might add a picture of my room when I'm in the mood. But it's really nothing much.

The Day

I actually wanted to blog last night, but I kinda strayed and forgotten about it. Juts making a long story short, yesterday was my last night in Malaysia. Nothing too special as today I'd be flying off, the next sunrise I will see will not be from the soils of Malaysia, or from the comfort of my little room. A whole new experience is starring me in the face.

How do I feel? I don't know. What's there to feel? I'm quite neutral about it. It's a little weird though, leaving my family behind and going out to Aussie on my own. Well, not really on my own. I have an Aunt there at least which would make things much easier.

There are a few things that I'm worried about, biggest worry would be the people I meet. How would they be like? Can I fit in? I don't know. Those are one of my bigger worries. I've never really been the most sociable guy around town.
