Haphazard

This is just another random blog... Nothing inspiring to talk about lately. All the zest is gone after being away from the internet for too long.

During my finals, internet was a big no no. The seduction of internet is totally irresistible. I could never withstand the temptation to chat a bit here n there, check my never-ending emails, read interesting funny blogs, or just browse thru Frenster to see who has added new pics for me to talk about. Just doing those things would steal hours from my study time! So.. had to lock my lappy in my cupboard. I intended to lock it in till my finals was over.. but it was easier said than done. Due to lousy m'sian radio stations playing and repeating lousy music n crappy ads all day.. finally, i had to succumb to the urge to bring out my lappy. Listening to my mp3 is so much more better! Studying was easier again with the accompaniment of great music. Nevertheless, time was wasted whenever i tinkered with the computer... especially when i play a little game or three =P. Maybe i shd seriously consider getting myself an mp3! haha.. then i wouldn't need to turn on my comp just to listen to music.

When i was stuck in my hostel the entire exam period, there were lots of inspirations for my blog. But now tht i get online.. all the inspirations then, seem stupid now. I think i was trying to make a list of things i hate about my uni! haha... here goes nothing...

  1. The food here sucks! It's so bad, you would rather stay in the room and eat instant noodles than walk to the stinking cafe just to see the same sickening expensive stuff they call food (especially the vegetables at that stall in B Cafe). Seriously, instant noodles tastes 100x better than it.
  2. Stupid school is sooo Kiasu! They keep robbing our holidays! Others get 1 week of study break + 1 week DeepaRaya hols. While we only get 1 week study break + DeepaRaya torture. Our sem break is already the shortest compared to other unis in the country but to be Kiasu #1.. they have to shorten it further to just mere 26 days! Wats more, there isn't any x'mas or new year hols!! Kiasu not enough, we MUST have the mid-sem test on the 3rd lunar day nex cny... see how lovely my uni is? So thoughtful of them to make us study during the cny. I'm lovin it!
  3. Wireless-less. How to climb up the uni ranks when the utmost important thing - internet connection is still unavailable to some hostels in the campus? So wat if u've got some weak wireless hotspot? It's ridiculous if u can't go online in the safety n comfort of ur own room! Expect us to walk late at night (cos there's practically no place for u at all in the daytime) to access the internet in a place full of blood-sucking mosquitoes and where electric sockets are always lacking (only 8 - including the ones u have to unplug from the drinks n water vending machines!). I really pity those who are using desktops here. How to go online??

Okay.. so far that's all i think that's really stupid about my school, not taking into account the lousy shuttle service, webpage, library etc etc etc... Maybe i'm asking too much. Maybe this is already counted as excellent to others. But as my mum always say... "If u want to improve, always compare urself to the best!"
