XYZ

Nowadays, getting people's attention just ain't as easy. A sledgehammer and a loud scream is needed. That is why I put the title XYZ for the post. Not that it has no relevance but just imagine I put instead, boring week. What a turn off. Anyways.. I put XYZ cause 5 out of the 6 subjects I take this sem has it. I hear the phrase 'XYZ axis' everyday. Apply however you like, the earth's surface, satelite calculation, structures and so on, I get in every form you could imagine. Maybe that's why most days after class I feel ZZZ.So today, I had a feeling it wasn't going to be the greatest of all days. The weather in the morning was absolutely perfect , for sleeping that is. Sad though that I had 8 in the morning. It was almost impossible to drag myself out of bed and then walk 20 minutes to the lab. Geomatics lab, a fun lab but today, the instruments decided to run out of battery one by one. Wasting me and my group mates time. Was actually at the lab for more than 4 hours.

Then had mail to take from the mail office. Urgent. "Maaf, kami nak tutup sudah pergi sembahyang." Damn! Reached the door of the mail office and the guy standing there told me this. Was there asking him to let me get the mail explaining it only takes 2 minutes to take it there and then but like a long long time for me to come back and take, Well actually wasted a longer time asking him to let me take it then how much time it would have taken for him to just give me the mail. The amount of equipment we eneded up using although there were still a few not included in the picture. Other groups used much less.

So the story of the Geomatics lab continues. Since tomorrow is the first day of Ramadhan, lab is cancelled. So is everyone lab session during the Ramadhan period except those on next friday. Guess what, had to do GPS this afternoon meaning skipping moral class. The afternoon lab starts at 4.30 according to the sheet of paper outside the lab. Apparently there was a verbal announcement that lab had changed to 3. So I was late for lab after taking my mail at 4.10. Anyhows, it was GPS and actually got the results . Haha. A 45 minute lab. Cool.Here's some pictures from geomatics lab.

Besides that another interesting lab would be geology. Rocks and minerals everyday. Haha.

That marked the end of labs, lectures and tutorials for this week. A relief. This week felt busy. With a bunch of classes and some meetings here and there. Had 6 hours of Geomatics lecture and I thought I was going to have 12 hours of Geomatics lab. Phew! Bookfair is just around the corner too so there were a few things there but mostly Kalai took care of them. There were a few days this week that started at 8 or 9 and ended at 5 and also those that ended at 10p.m. It's unhealthy to have let's say, 9 hours of class a day?

So been relaxing the whole evening. Academia pushed aside. Grabbed a bottle of Mister Potato and a bottle of yoghurt drinks and watched Se7en, Cool movie. Storyline of a serial killer killing using the seven deadly sins of men as his motive. Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Envy, Wrath and... somehow always short of one when I recall. Cool movie seriously Everyone should watch it.

Haven't updated this blog for ages now. Haha. There's a few things and photos to share. Firstly of a camera. Olympus UZ590sp. oO.

Worth taking a look. 26x digital zoom and lots more other cool features including face detection up to 16 faces and a 10fps (3MP) pre-capture technology. Then there's this super cool casio watch. Was planning to get these sometime not too far in the future but then, a few trip plans came up. Nearest in time, to Ca,erons on the 5th. Then there's the great Raya Trip. Haha. Then there's a trip to Aus next June. Then Sandeep has told of possibly a Rotaract trip to India. OMG. Haha. Time to save.Being broke before the trips is not an option. Being broke after might be. Haha.

Anyways. this weekend will be involved in the 30 hour famine programme.

In laymen's term, 30 hour diet as a shoutout against world hunger. Still not sure how tens of thousands of people starving themselves for 30 hours would help those whore are actually starving.

Anyways, on Sunday will go together with other participants to Bukit Jalil. Yay! Guang liang coming. Woohoo. Then the rest I do not know. Taiwanese artists.

Oh yeah, my Civil batch had a google group. Cool thing this google group service by google. Practicallity at it's best. The coolest discussion with hundreds of reply was for the design of a batch t-shirt. Two thumbs up to Mesol for a great design.

I would give myself three thumbs up for the editing of it but looks like most going for the non-edited version. Haha.

Don't know how much printing costs will total up to but I guess a lot cause we have a tonne of things to print on the shirt including a name and number. So three t-shirts to look forward to. One famine, bookfair and batch t-shirt. Also, my Chindian batch also has a Google group and a facebook profile. Wow!

Somewhere sometime in the week there was Chua's birthday too. We had Pizza. Here's a picture of him withe the overloaded salad bowl.

My printer is back to life too. It was just the cable which had a problem.

Song lyrics..undoubtedly very meaningful words that artists have put into a song form. If one song can be quite meaningful then maybe a whole bunch of selected words combined together would be nice. Quite bored now having one week long holds but now can't sleep and got nothing better to do. Listened to a few songs to put together. Here's something fun.. the first person to be able to tell me a ll the names of the songs i got these words from I would treat you a chicken chop? sounds lame..but I'm bored and you could try too.Green words for my own words to bind the lyrics together. the rest would be one colour per song.

There’s a beautiful girl. Walking in the town crossing the road.Long and curly hair. Red pants. I’ma good looking guy. Squatting by the roadside. See you walking towards me, my heart is running everywhere. Eyes become very big like ping pong balls. Heart on fire but hard to tell you. Everywhere you go, perfection follows you the most.

But...

If i told you i love you would it move you enough for you to act as though you heard?

I wish you would..

Give me more loving than I’ve ever had, make it all better when I’m feeling sad. Tell me I’m special even when I know I’m not. I love being around you. There’s only one thing, to do, three words for you. I love you.

Everytime i see your face, everytime you look my way, It’s like it all falls into place. Everything feels right.

Then again..you might say

Those are all very beautiful words but action speaks louder than words. You can say all these beautiful things but they don’t mean a thing.

Have fun trying. Don't see how anyone would guess them all. You could try googling them but I doubt you'll get all.

First interactive blog activity,

Chess and tea. Falling sick. What has uni life become?? We here at v1C turning into old men. Haha.

Brewing the Imperial Tie Guan Yin everyday and playing a few games of chinese chess. Now feeling like I have a flu. On panadol now. tired so too lazy do up a proper post jz yet. Did it cause my undying fans asked me to. Haha

W.S

Haha. Here's the brain busting idea I had that would revolutionise the way some things are. Had to keep it locked for if not it would come up on google and such and then everyone might grab at it sooner or later. Saving it for me. Haha. So came up with a new blog which I would from now on keep my private posts rather than having this whole narcist blog of mine locked down.

www.grahamtanprivateposts.wordpress.com

this way I can have some privacy every now and then. I would however keep the post title posted here so those who would eventually be allowed to read will know the post exists. PM for password to post

Once Upon a Chindian Gathering...

Just came back from Chindian Gathering. Lazy type so just put pictures.

Ever wondered why the chair didn't break in the first place??Successfully covered the faces of the people behind me and kalai

Sharing Is Caring

Change

Been thinking of change these past few days. Changing bits and pieces of lifestyle that would add to a better being. Anyways, what I changed today is the blog title. From a 'Space That Revolves Around Me' to ' The Asylum of Narcism'. Saw Ah Hoo's blog, Pace towards the memoir of mine. It sounds cool. Thought I should have a cool title for my blog too.

In my efforts of unearthing my life's proximity to inhumane narcissim I went to google for a thesaurus that would supply me with all the bombastic words to spice up my blog title. In the end stuck with words I knew . The words in the thesaurus didn't sound cool. Any comments or suggestions on the blog title?? :)

Pre-lectures...

The norm post for the day before the semester starts. Everyone who's anyone who has a blog surely has this post. A post for the day before the start of semester. Finally got a timetable done. I mean I had but there were changes.

Looks ok. 18 credit hours for this semester. The same as the last I guess. Last semester was a bust. Now have to reassess. I guess pre-lecture preparations would come in very handy as well as pre lab. Have six subjects this semester but four of which has at a two hour lab with Geomatics having a four hour lab. The white spaces are time with no classes.

Anyways this semester there are 3 goals to achieve. Not going to elaborate.Actually went to the library on Friday. First time going to the IRC before semester starts. Officially retiring from Dota, DC. Having oats for breakfast skipping lunch. Cooking on weekends. Learning mandarin . All these are some efforts for the 3 goals ;)
