Malaysia Typically Malaysia

Despite being an engineering university, this place is filled with engineering failures. Even blatant common sense seems to escape to those involved in designing this university. Kinda like how our country is run, we have Petronas Twin Towers yet we have third world infrastructures...

This wasteland, when it rains it pours like there's no tomorrow. So common sense dictates that all walkways connecting each buildings should be shaded. But no, the whole place is so badly planned that the shades only covers certain walkways... So what happens when it rains hmmm? Even the shaded walkways are not fully covered...

Recently, WIFI hotspot has been installed throughout the whole campus. This is a huge feat for this little campus. Its the equivalent of mankind discovering fireworks can be used for military purposes. But even this WIFI hotspot is not stable... Its been going for a few months but still its so unstable. Why is so hard to maintain proper functional WIFI hotspot?

I am curious to know if the university is able, out of the blue, change the curriculum set from the beginning of my course. Initially, my course didn't have the Final Year Project which carries six credit hours. Then, in the middle of my internship they decided that they needed it for US recognition. On top of that, they decided to make an elective compulsory for all to take. So a total of nine credit hours added from no where. Couldn't they notify us earlier so we can plan our curriculum properly?!

Sigh...

Busy Student?

I love my new semester's timetable cause its got lots and lots of empty spaces. I guess it is expected when you're in Final Year. I'm glad though but at the same time two major projects running concurrently is gonna be a pain in the ass.

Totally free on Friday and I only have a class on Monday at four which is Mandarin. That means super long weekends for me to do my work and if need be, go down to KL. It doesn't look like a schedule for a person taking 20 credit hours but I guess the workload will be the projects.

Lots of white spaces. I like.

The Mandarin class that I'm taking for my elective teaches really simple Mandarin. I feel like I'm in nursery school learning Mandarin from scratch. I'll just have to bare with it. Hopefully I can get a distinction from this subject. Its got an oral test and a 80 words essay exam. Gonna practice what to write for my essay. Something along the line, "My name is... I like... I am...". Hehehhe.

Good news thus far is that my roomie is in my team for Final Year Design Project. That makes 50% of the group consisting of fag boys. Hehhehehe. We shall design our plant a pink producing product plant. A little pink feathered boa here and there and sprinkle some fairy dust here and there as well.

Fabulous!
