...progress report

A few things have taken place in the past few days:
1. My car transplant has been completed. Now i have a DOHC, but NA
(Normally Aspirated) engine. Also the gearbox has been changed and now my car is a Manual..man i hate auto cars..what a waste of time..

2.Pman has landed in KL..and i felt the shockwaves..ahah..kidding..met up with him yesterday..played a bit of pool..but with no sucess..as instead of playing we were exchanging mutual ideas..emm..we were talking la..so we decided to go somewhere sit and talk..and catch up on old time...had dinner.
(Pman: "bos..dua roti kosong..satu roti bom..dan satu roti telur..dan ten satay..ayam...)
..i was having roti canai in quite some time..and he was having it after a long time..so we enjoyed our meal..and were about to leave around 8.20..we walked to our cars..and we started talking again..(we just cant keep our big mouth shut)..
and by the time it was nearly 10..we realised that we actually set off for home..but instead hadnt moved an inch...
well..it was good to see him again..i think he had a fight with the barber in aussie..i think he had more hair than mush's bush...ahahha..hopefully he will get it cut here..or he will keep that bush..

Well i am trying to organize a meet-up..for the guyz frm our class..lets see if we can meet..

3. Planning to get a Digicam atlast..and i have fallen in love with the Fuji S6500Fd..i thnk Jeff for his humble advice..and read a few reviews..on the camera..
i have narrowed down the options to 2 cameras..either that fuji or the canon A710IS..
Fuji S6500Fd

Another Semester Flies by..

This was my 3rd semester..and it would flew by..My first semester in the 2nd year has ended...another step has been taken to become an Automotive Engineer. This semester was a bit different..i took a different attitude in learning new things..a different perspective in studying..i just didnt want to study for the sake of studying..i think sometimes..i force myself to study...but instead of learning..im merely regurgitating..i dont want to learn for the sake of getting good grades..

This semester..i wanted to love the subjects i did..i wanted to learn the way we learnt in school..back in science class..when jeremiah...made us think..he made us love science..i loved it..i remember till this day..what the vacuum in a barometer is called..
..where we wondered at the power and wonders of phsyics and chemistry...from Mr.suresh...and Mrs. Samy's class was hilarious..(..bio was just plain boring..apart from the antics we did..ahhaha..)

You see..that when i came to Uni..i was bored of my classes..they were not interesting...i know that some teachers..were useless..almost all unis have thier fair share of imbecile lecturers...but there a good and better lecturers as well...
but still..in school we were inquistive..we wanted to learn more..but in Uni..i am not..but the truth is in Uni we are supposed to be even more curious to learn...but sometimes..ppl are caught tides...the waves of plagarism..copying..lab reports to assignments...not just copying..but copying like a bloody parrot!.a.haha..well..i do admit that in the beginning...i could have been caught in this wave..due to some late assignments..

But this sem i changed a few things..mainly my attitude to learning..i wanted to enjoy my course no matter how horrible the instructor was..well it was able to learn somethings really well..i could solve problems on my own..and i am proud if the fact..that i am learning something..sometimes on my own though..but this is life..no one is going to give you anything on a silver platter..we gotta work like labourers..

Though this change of attitude helped me in some of my core subjects....i still need a bit more change..hopefully next sem i am able to change..I am probably the laziest slob around..bloody hell..i lose all my marks in "class work" ..which never existed in "O" or "A" levels..i think its my fault that i have been stubborn to change..the system is different..so one has to change..and hopefully i can bring some change in myself...(Inshallah- god willing)...

PS: i will start back on my Scans project ASAP..and Pman is coming back as well..and my car is undergoing a heart transplant..will keep this place updated...
Damn this blog was long..
