Breaking news: Done and done 0 lalalas
It's 4:30 a.m. now. I've just finished packing my stuff. It took me about maybe 9 hours to finish the job as I was constantly faced by the dilemma of whether to keep certain item or not. Tedious work - I wish I've had a maid to do the job for me.
I've written my last paper - Physics 170 about 16 hours ago. It wasn't too bad. Phew, I'm so glad that it's finally done now. Reminded me of a Chinese proverb "养兵千日，用兵一时". All this time I've been studying and neglecting pretty much everything else except gaming. I'm afraid in the future I might only do these two things.
I'm finally moving out in about 6 hours time. I'm gonna miss this place and my floormates with their idiosyncrasies and weird antics, and things that happened here during my short stay. It's true that the food wasn't that good and stuff was expensive and going up to my room on 4th floor was taxing, but I'm still going to miss this place. In 6 hours time, room 407 Cariboo, which once belonged to me, will be just another generic Vanier room.
I watched a movie while taking a break from packing up my stuff. Have you heard of Grindhouse? Blood, gore, nudity... you name it, you got it. Basically the film has 2 parts, one directed by Robert Rodriguez (Sin City), another by Quentin Tarantino (Kill Bill). Pretty much a no-brainer movie - there's a joke/pun about no-brainer in the movie - but it's entertaining. Part 1: Planet Terror was about zombie invasion and how survivors - including a chick with a machine gun as right leg (how cool is that?) escape. Lots of cheesy one-liners and lots of action, it's an above-average zombie flick. Tarantino's part is called Death Proof. It's about a crazy stuntman who stalks hot chicks and kills them with his "death proof" car. It has a lot of dialogues, which I personally enjoyed, but are disliked by many movie-goers. And it has an exciting car-race at the later part where eventually the oppressed becomes the oppressor. Both parts features mutilation of body parts, and are suitable for minors and those faint of heart. It has some fake movie trailers in between and "missing reel". A really unconventional and innovative film and I can say it's fairly well done.
(I'm so going to have a headache tomorrow...) Another update: I've just discovered that I'll be back at Malaysia at 12th of May instead of 11th (I made some inaccurate assumptions). I'll be staying at my relative's place until then. Any plans? Well, I plan to get my glasses fixed - the 2 pads that support the nose for my glasses has fallen off for a few months now. I'm also going to repack my stuff again for my return to Malaysia. And I'm going to hang around my Canadian and Malaysian friends hopefully. And plenty of rest.
That's all for now, folks. Tata~
5 down, 1 more to go! 0 lalalas
Yes, you've heard it. One more paper left - Physics 170 on Monday. I've been working hard on this subject, because I've been neglecting it for a long long time. So, I've been having a lot of fun studying by myself in the library, while getting disturbed by sons of a bard that seems to forget that it's a library.
I've done my last Philosophy online test today. It's as ridiculous and random as the previous ones. But I'm glad it's over now. That was the toughest course I've ever had. Seriously, no matter how hard I study for a test, the marks are always based on luck. Not that I've ever failed it, but that the grade I get is disproportionate to how well-prepared I am. What an abortion of a course! The average was about 50% for this course taught by the professor who was reputedly the easiest professor..
Another good thing was that I found out recently that I don't need to file tax return. Took me a few hours to findout, but heck it saved me a lot of time. The guy on the tax office was pretty impatient though, even asked me if I have problem understanding English. That's the second person who questioned my proficiency in English. I should've said yes and asked him to explain the tax stuff in Chinese instead...
My last paper is one day before we are forced to move out. Seriously though, what the hell? I have so much to study (and procrastinate) I barely have time to pack my stuff. And everybody's already leaving! Damn it Physics 170 ka-ka-cau-cau. And stupid housing to ask people to move out one day after their paper. #^%&$^%^&%. I know I'll be able to manage it eventually, but still $^T&%^%&Y*&(*!!
On a brighter note, my papers have gone pretty well, especially both Math papers. And I managed to finish the ridiculous 19-page computer science paper. It's twice the normal thickness of usual final papers, nearly gave me a heart attack. I'm really getting old.
Ok, better not drag on, I still have tonnes to catch up with my physics. Talk to you guys later. Nappy time, yes yes...
Gearing up for finals 0 lalalas
Yes, I'm sitting for my first paper, Physics 153 in about 11-hour time. As usual, doing some last-minute cramming. Very bored, so 忙里偷闲 update my blog. Nothing much to say (as usual), been trying hard to study. My room is not such a conducive studying environment ever since the addition of my laptop, so I've been to my friend's house or the library to study. Results are much better compared to that in my room, and feeling less guilty now. Tomorrow's paper should not be too hard, hopefully there'd not be any surprises, like giving us an unsolvable question - it's happened before. But hoping for the best.
Then 2 more papers, Math 152 on Thursday and Math 101 on Saturday for this week. Hooray, I love exams!
(Goes back to last-minute cramming...)
Small update 2 lalalas
Hey yo wassup? I'm nearly done here already. All the assignments and quizzes are done. Only the finals are left. The momentum of final preparations haven't really built up yet. Now I'm in a state of constant lethargy, sometimes from studying, sometimes from playing computer!
The sun is out again! Yeah, spring is come. But the problem is, sometimes it's hot and sometimes it's cold (like winter). I hope I don't fall sick under this global-warming-induced-extreme-weather.
Nothing much is going on (Boring~~). Oh yeah, I just bought a 1G memory card for my laptop, gonna pick it up in the afternoon. And, I'm coming back to Malaysia at May 11! Bought tickets already! I would spend slightly less than 3 months there. I hope I can achieve something meaningful during my stay, like learning how to cook, etc. Hopefully I can meet up with some of my friends - it's been a damn long while.
I've been trying to exercise a bit - my mom always tells me to do so whenever she calls. But I'm not sure if my energy output is greater than my input (food). Sometimes you eat so much and you don't feel like eating much because the guay lows eat much more than you do. Gotta check...
This post is kinda messed up, very inorganized. Heck, at least you know what I'm up to now. By the way, tomorrow is the last day of classes, but my first final paper starts 5 days after (next Tuesday) and last paper is at April 30. Really hoping that I can stay away from my laptop for that period of time, no matter how sexy it is.
Signing off...
