Fun! Fun! Fun!

Huh... Today was great! I met my cousins from Canada whose names are Joshua, Lucinda and Krystal this morning. Not to forget Krystal's boyfriend, Kent, too. We had a small tete-a-tete and exchanged our handphone numbers. At first, I thought there would be less conversation since this is the first time we meet. Surprisingly, we turned out to be amicably well together and there's no language barrier ( I thought my English is bad at first >.<) Of course, we took some pictures and I'm looking forward to see those pictures to be posted. Post it you guys, pronto! Anon!!

After I had my lunch, I packed my things and headed back to KL. I took SKS-KL (correct me if I'm wrong) and we stopped at Pasar Seni LRT Station. There was a big load of people queueing there to get their tickets. Of course, me too ( Zzz... damn boring and hot). Besides, only 4 ticket machines were functioning instead of 8. So, there was no surprise when the queue could line up until the ladder there. Fortunately, I was offered by a middle-age man, helping me to buy my ticket. After thanking and bidding him adieu, I rushed to the loo because I need to pee (Aww... this is embarrassing). When I was peeing, an Indian guy standing beside me was looking at my penis! I just rolled my eyes and did nothing. Then, there was another Chinese guy came (because I have so much to excrete XP!!) and standing beside me (there were only 2 standing places to pee) again... This guy is so... I don't know how to say him. He just moved his head, nearing me and looking straight to my penis! It was so obvious you know. I stared him back and he just took a glance on me and continued looking at my penis again. He leaned on the wall while peeing when he saw me trying to look back at his penis. What the fuck? After that, I just leaved the toilet and waited for my LRT to come.

I reached Wangsa Maju and went for some shoppings in Jusco then. When I was taking my bus back to Genting Klang (my apartment is there), I saw a friend of mine, Ming Qi (I don't know how to spell). Hohoo... we chatted then. That's all... It was fun because I felt like I did something and there were many things happened on me today. Unlike the days I spent in TM... T.T

Out of the Game...

This is something to share...

QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) Ltd conducts and compiles the annual World University Rankings, measuring university research quality, graduate employability, teaching commitment and international commitment based on a combination of global surveys and audited data, including citation counts from Scopus (world's largest database of academic publishing). For your information, Universiti Malaya (UM) has bowed out from top 200 of the prestigious 2010 QS World University Rankings - slips from 180 in 2009 to 207 in 2010.

UKM, USM, and UPM have all improved while UTM/UiTM dropped.
  1. UKM : 291(2009) to 263(2010).
  2. USM : 314(2009) to 309(2010).
  3. UPM : 345(2009) to 319(2010).
  4. UTM : 320(2009) to 365(2010).

Despite having this result, the Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed told The Star it was normal to see fluctuation in the rankings. He said, "the ministry had its own strategic plan which was benchmarked against world's best practices, and would take note of the rankings". Oh really? If the ministry's plan results in this fluctuation, then it is flawed and ought to be changed. I wonder what would happen and what would he say if our position improves. The country will be painted red? Haha... I guess this is the nature of human. When something great happens on us, we will boast and be proud like there is no tomorrow. On the other hand, we will find excuses to cover up ourselves if something bad or humiliating happens on us.

Guys... what's about your opinion?

Holidays!!

Hooray... It's holiday now! I don't know about you guys but I really need to rest after the four-month battle with my studies. I need to sleep. I need to play. I need to watch movies. I need to rejuvenate myself(literally XP). I'm in a dire need to RECHARGE!! College's life is utterly different from what I thought it would be. Coping with my studies, time management, stress relieving, control on foods, control on spending, entertainment, familiarizing with new environments, get used with teachers, making friends, et cetera must be in sync. Aww... At least I made it this far. There's no turning back, you know.

Hmm... It was tiring. At times, I was wondering why I'm getting myself into this. I meant, waking up 8am in the morning and going back at about 4pm(on average)? Taking 3 sciences and 1 Mathematics(excluding those LAN subjects), do you expect me to finish all my homework and revisions? Time is not enough man. At least not for me. Some teachers are not even up to mark some more. Haiz... Can you guys give me some suggestions? Do you think there's a need for me to drop one science subject? As you know, I'm weak in Chemistry but I can't drop it because it's that important. But I have a constant love for both Biology and Physics. That is why I'm still taking 3 sciences even though most of my friends have dropped one. I can't afford to lose my scholarship for not getting more than or equals to 60% for each of my subjects because I don't want to burden my family members. That requires a lot of thinking though...

Anyways, let's just forget about it and get into the mood. I'm looking forward to play badminton with my TM friends. Somebody please do something and I'll waiting you guys to inform me the date. That is all for now... Enjoy your holidays!!
