Less Than 1 Millimetre. BIG Difference.

Posted in Whiney on February 27, 2007 by Ostry

Today for labs I did milling. We were suppose to cut the block of Aluminium (I think) into a dimension of 48 x 48 x 38.

I don’t know whether it was because of my lousy technique or the fly-cutter of the milling machine, but the surface after was rough and cacat-ed. The lab assistant changed one of the blades and it was a little better but still not as smooth as it should be. >.<

That wasn’t so bad. The WORST part was, I over-cut one side! It became 47.2 instead of 48 as it should be! T.T .. 47.2 MILLIMETRES!!! That’s 0.8 mm I TELL YOU!! BLAAAARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *wails* And it just so happens that THIS particular thing we’re milling will be sent to CIAST for checking, and it’d be graded and stuff. MARKS will be deducted! Not for turning, not for other stuff BUT MILLING!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Just my luck.. *sniff*

Labs is fun, but the part where you lose marks for screwing up and getting no second chances (the lab assistant won’t give us another block to start over), not so fun at all. :( Sigh. I just suck at hands on stuff.

Should I continue doing this course? I’m beginning to like the lectures though… >.< Choices, choices, choices.

Cacat-ed CNY Reunion Dinner.

Posted in Outings on February 18, 2007 by Ostry

Coz bro’s migrated to Australia, and, isn’t coming back for this year’s CNY, there was only the 3 of us and since Mum was some member of some group, she was entitled to a discount for buffer dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, so we had our reunion dinner there. (Mum was lazy to cook too :P )

Stuff I ate and drank:

  1. Yee Sang
  2. Raw fish and sushi
  3. Satay, grilled chicken, lamb, deep fried stuff, beef, more raw fish, roast duck, teppanyaki, cherry tomatoes
  4. Spaghetti with tomato sauce, macaroni with cream sauce, both with LOTS and LOTS of cheese powder
  5. Cheesecake, chocolate mousse, strawberry with chocolate, cookies
  6. Honey dew, rock melon, red and yellow watermelon, lemon slices (?) (took about one and a half sized of lemon and squeezed them all into my water..was lemon-deprived and got a little lemon-crazy.. =P)
  7. Custard crepe with two scoops of ice-cream (chocolate and vanilla) on top and chocolate syrup.
  8. Took more lemon and continued to squeeze them into my glass of water happily! :D
  9. A cup of after meal tea.

That cup of tea was a killer. I was just feeling extremely bloated after my ‘lemon juice’. But after I downed that cup of tea, I immediately felt like puking. God. The ride back home felt like the LONGEST journey of my life. Trying to refrain myself from puking all the way. When I got to my bathroom, I couldn’t hold the horrible feeling any longer and barfed half the stuff I ate out. Ugh. I know. Disgusting. RM XX of food gone down the drain. >.< Oh well, on the bright side, I get to taste loads of tasty food without gaining too much weight! :D Sound a little bulemic don’t I? :P

I just remembered! Forgot to try the Fried Kuey Teow which they fry on the spot and the Curry Laksa. Dang!

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!

This Is What I’m Putting On Repeat.

Night of My Life by Damien Leith

Here we are shooting stars
renting time in someone else’s space
so unsure afraid to fall
I’m standing here a little scared
but I don’t care

Chorus:
Cause this kind of moment
is only on loan and
I wanna remember the look in your eyes
and when it’s all over
I want you
to know that I was with you when I
had the night of my life
the night of my life

So don’t let go you never know
maybe your whole life’s about to change
so let’s hold on until it’s gone
nothing’s made to last forever
who knows whether

Chorus:
this kind of moment
is only on loan and
sometimes you don’t know till it passes you by
so when it’s all over I want you to know
that I was with you when I had the night of my life

maybe this whole thing comes right down to fate
from every choice that we think that we made
has put us right here together today so please stay

Chorus:
this kind of moment
is only on loan and
it won’t be too long till it leaves us behind
and when it’s all over I want you to know

the night of my life
the night of my life
the night of my life

V-Day.

One of the quotes which I made me laugh and smile at the same time from

Valentine’s Day Sayings :

“I don’t understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine’s Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon.”

-Unknown.

*Snicker* =P That’s actually quite true when you think about it. LOL!

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! (I’m celebrating it with 3 periods of Engineering Math from 3pm-6pm. Yay me! Ugh! >.<)

Solitude.

“A man can only be himself only so long as he is alone; … if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.” [Schopenhauer, "The World as Will and Idea, "1818]

Reaching and enjoying total freedom, I think I am almost there. :)

*SLURPPPPPPPPP!*

Posted in Random on February 8, 2007 by Ostry

Woke up at 6 a.m. to finish watching Howl’s Moving Castle which Neo lent me. Ate breakfast and went back to sleep at 7.40a.m. and woke up at 8.40a.m. again to go to lecture. =P Ate Pan Mee again for lunch with my coursemates, this time Pan Mee Dry Add Egg (the auntie who took our order just assumed Huey Jing and I wanted small… Ceh! >.<) – RM2.90. XD. Add egg YUMMY!

Had a meeting with our personal tutor at 2p.m. This tutor is not really like the normal tutors where they help you with your studies and stuff. His job is to be sorta like a nanny to us who are under him. If we have any problems at all (coursework unrelated), we’re supposed to look for him ASAP. And we’d have to meet him every fortnight so that he’d get to know us better and write something decent for our reference letter thingy later when we apply for a job. =P

3.00p.m. – 6.00p.m. Engineering Mathematics 1. *GROANS* 3 hours straight!!!!!! He kept showing signs of stopping to let us off, but ALL were FALSE ALARMS! Argh! ‘One more question.. One more question..’ T.T All of us were practically dead by the time he finished. Sigh.

LOL! However, today was the funniest dinner I ever had in my whole life! Coz of Jian Wen! He claims that I (quotes him exactly) ’seduced’ him into joining us for KFC. *sweat* I was just tempting him by making slurping sounds and he didn’t have the will-power to resist. NOT MY FAULT! Bwahahahahaha. In the end, he kept imitating and ejeking me while I was eating, till all of us couldn’t stop laughing, especially Huey Jing and I. Freaking FUNNY! I think I’ll have an indigestion. >.< Later they’re gonna kumpul at my place for supper coz Slurpy Guy is now at Connaught’s pasar malam. Tau Foo Fa and Assam Laksa at midnight! Oooooh yeaaaaaaa… :D What’s more? Tomorrow’s Electrical and Electronic’s System’s lecture CANCELED! :D

This is what I call university life. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!

*SLURRRRRPPPPPPPPPPPPPP* LOL!

I Ain’t Sensitive Enough.

Posted in Personal on February 5, 2007 by Ostry

I’ve never really been good at reading people’s minds, their expressions, feelings, little changes in them (even though I expect people around me that I love to be able to do all of them. >.< Sorry for being unreasonable). I don’t know how to make people feel better when they’re down and stuff like that, and I get quite frustrated with myself sometimes. It’s like, they’ve always been there for me, but when it comes to them needing me, I can never get it right.

I suck.

And I think I just lost a good friend because of my incompetence [(?) I don't know what other word to use].

First Week of University Life.

Posted in Random on February 4, 2007 by Ostry

Mum actually wanted me to stay in the on-campus accomodation, however, all the single rooms were taken. So, off-campus accomodation in TTS5, just 10 minute walk away from the campus. Staying in a bungalow with 5 other housemates. The kitchen’s nice, with a much more decent fridge as compared to the one in the on-campus’s pantry (which is really gross with chicken left there for maybe a few months! Ewwww..) even though its kinda packed with my housemates stuff. :P

Classes are okay. A little boring cause maybe I’m kinda used to the understanding formulas and facts type. It’s really different now, applying the stuff you learn to real life situations. Irono. Hope I get used to it soon.

Friends. We got to know each other really quickly (unlike the time in Tarc which took FOREVER! :P ). But probably its because of the really small class size. There are only lik 12 people in our Mechanical Engineering class. Aaron’s Chemical Eng. even more kesian….. 8! LOL! We’re almost always having meals together. Broga’s BIG Pan Mee – RM2.90! Cafeteria’s mixed rice, 2 vege’s, one scoop of chicken, a big bowl of rice – RM2.00! :D Woooooot! Cheap or not! Bwahahahahahahahaaa!

Bball-ed on Wednesday too! Glad that they are all bball-semangat-ed people! :D and not just football futsal. And Su Ling and Wey Chii, if you’re reading this… SIX CUNTED BBALL COURTS WOI!! Played until 8pm some more with the huge lights! :D No more turning skin into charcoal black! Nyahahahhahahahaaaa..

Entertainment? The lousy desktop I brought along. >.< Only got to watch animes and movies which I brought along coz I didnt have an internet connection yet. But now! With the wireless adapter and my newly subscribed 512kbps connection (slow, I know, but WHATEV!)… YAY!

Can’t really think of anymore to say. Hmm.. Okay, one last thing. Thought I could finally lose some weight since I’d have to manage my 3 meals on my own. But when I got onto the weighing scale at home, I think I gained 0.5kg! >.< /Noo! Sigh. Plan from now on, MORE bball, eat LESS! :D Hope it works!

Should start doing some revision of some sort, get into that habit of studying everyday and not last minute! MUST MUST MUST!

Later!
