Contented

Last night it was kinda nice. I came back super tired and feeling very stressed over my project again. So as usual, I talked to the regulars on MSN which they made me feel better. Thanks ya girls.

The best part of the night was receiving a call from my little bro. FIRST TIME EVER HE DID IT! Patut la there was a blizzard that day. Hehehe. But seriously, thanks a lot. Really needed to speak to someone though it was mainly about his stress-related problem. Not mine. Hahaha. Farny la you, Kai.

Oh well, the day ended me sleeping at 3.30 a.m and ya thanks to my father calling me at 4.30 a.m, I couldn't sleep after that because my neighbour was playing the guitar and singing. Gssssssh. And also, I forgot to full draw my curtains so the sun blinded me at 6.30 a.m. I give up on sleeping la.

But at least, I'm still contented for now. Miss you guys a lot.

The Pros and Cons of Exams

Ah ha. Some crazy topic! But since exams are in the air, I dedicate this post to you guys out there sitting for many many exams. (I'm so dead after this post. Hehehe!)

I know you guys facing exams now will be thinking whether is Cheng Chun sane now. Exams are evil of course. I definitely hated them from the beginning of life. But since I'm in the only (active) Malaysian from Aero in MSoc, I'm proud to say that I'm the only one not sitting for exam NOW. HAH! Sorry la peeps ya! :) Been there done that for 4 years! So, it is time to brag when you all are suffering now! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh sorry ya 4th years. We, Aero people, did suffer our Christmas this year so, we DESERVED not to have exams now! ;)

Anyway, here are the pros and cons of exams.

PROS
  1. You have a daily routine during the holidays. Yes, I know holidays are meant to be fun, lazing around, doing absolutely nothing but at points it is better than staring into space.
  2. Something to focus on. Compared to my situation now, you really NEED something to keep you going to make time fly.
  3. I suppose you can say that we are learning all these stuff to enlighten ourselves. Damn corny. I know. :D
CONS
  1. Stress! What else do you have when there are exams. But remember to chill once in a while.
  2. Oh yea. It is jiwang time. Feeling depressed that you can't get what the lecture notes and tutorials are telling you. And at this point, the guilt comes in for missing those lectures. (Though I never missed a lecture before, I still feel dumb :( )
  3. You think that's bad. The killer is doing past year papers. You might know your notes inside out even memorise word for word but application to the exam papers is a whole different ball game. Then, you begin to cry. Literally! T.T
  4. After feeling defeated and saying 'Why the hell I took this course in the first place', you will be thinking of home. You just want to take the first flight out to Malaysia to run away from all of these. Come on! Don't you all want to do that now? ;) Such a chain reaction of emotions here.
  5. I presume everyone's body clock would have changed or become upside down. I personally say changed into 'vampire mode'. Sleep in the day but study by night. But be careful. Don't miss your exams!
  6. Day in day out, you have to do the same thing over and over again. BORING! For the next coming weeks, your lives will revolve around the library and your room facing the books. No more fun weekends. Poor you all!
  7. You can't go out jalan-jalan when the weather is perfect like now in London. Just seeing people on the lawn or park sun-bathing or just laying there makes you want to do so. To just chill. I know someone would love to go and snap tonnes of pictures. But it is definitely much much better than being in the library where the environment is so tensed. Not to mention the library is hot and stuffy and gawd knows what smell there is there now.
Hmmmmmm. I wonder whether there are anymore pros or cons. But for now, there seems to be more cons than pros for exams. Obviously! Don't worry! I have been there and I know how it feels.

But we are from Imperial. We can overcome all of these adversities and hey, we are THE best in the world. Without these exams, it wouldn't push us further to be the future engineers of the world. Cough cough. How lame is that. LOL! Just enjoy the ride I like to say.

This will all end soon enough and then you all will be off around Europe or back to Malaysia.

But my main message for this post is to say,

"All the best guys and girls, study hard and smart and good luck! JIA YOU AND GAMBATTE!!!"

Just Dead Tired

Today's experiment was a bit useless. The results are very wrong for some odd reason. I really don't know what to do any more. Also I might need to redo some of the old results. This is getting ridiculous. I wonder what's the purpose of my life here.

I started at 8.30 a.m and left at 7 p.m-ish and I'm totally tired. I was suppose to continue my experiment but I ran out of selo tape. An odd reason but may be it is my luck to end the day early. I just took a nap till 10 p.m and I think I better go get more rest. I think I might be getting sick soon.

Just feeling very down now. Can it be jiwang again? Hah! It is bad for health you know.

Good Night.

Clean Wing Done

It is 9.11 p.m and I'm doing with the testing of the clean wing. Tomorrow will be another hell day. So I better go back and rest up well and I have to be back in the next 11 hours. :(

Oh yea, it just snowed again. Gsssssh.

To Be Immortalise

The start of the day was lousy! AGAIN! My wing was installed into the wind tunnel. And now, the shit part begins; calibration of the instruments I will be using. Some idiot before me changed everything I setup before I left for London. So, I have no idea what he changed and 'mua' have to play around with them. This isn't exactly like lego. Arghhhhhh!

Damn stress I tell you. I was on the verge of fainting too because I didn't have my breakfast and it was late in the afternoon. For this only time, I multi-tasked my work today to maximise my time. So, one hand was feeding food into my mouth, the other was clicking the mouse and entering the figures into the excel sheet. Unfortunately, the results for the experiment are still bananas.

Actually I should be down there doing work, but I can't be really bothered now. The tunnel needs some rest since I'm abused it.

But everything changed when I went back to my workstation. To my amazement, I received a printed message. Yes! A printed message NOT a SMS or a printed e-mail but a message directly to my College's printer(Canggih! I know! I love this College). It said 'Cheng Chun 加油(jia you) la.' With a picture. Not going to say what it is. =D

That definitely made my day. And now, I'm back to semangat, hyper Cheng Chun. My colleagues were shocked at my typing speeding because I was practically tapping the keyboards away loudly typing this. Must be the adrenaline I'm having now. I have already done 3 experiments and another 2 more to go. I will be here till 9 p.m. But that doesn't matter I'm happy!

Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner as I would love to immortalise this piece of paper. Will search the university to find one.

To you, I really want to give you a big big hug. Here's a virtual hug la. *Hugs*

Thank you so much for making my day so much better.

Now back for round 4 for my experiment.

Stalking

Every time I hear this word, I will remember about someone who gets stalked quite frequent by random people. You know who you are(and till today I'm still amazed the amount of times you getting stalked in London) but I suppose now it has subsided a bit ya. ;)

It came to me that there are 3 types or stages to stalking.

Stage 1 -
Attraction

This case is the initial case. Harmless I say. But still if it was the same sex stalking, one usually be terrified. It isn't never a good thing. Just be careful.

Stage 2 - Obsession

Ah, this goes along the lines of the stalker saying like 'I breathe for you!' or 'You need me!'. People if you hear this, I think you better cabut as soon as possible. It is a sense of desperation from the stalker.

Stage 3 -
Destruction

As you can see the word 'destruction', it has a more aggressive tone. Quite dangerous when someone says, 'I know you think of me often just as I think of you' or 'Don't make me do something that both of us might regret.' Usually, the person will be willing to do anything to protect or die for the person. They are hallucinating or in their own world.

So, which one are you or have you met anyone like that? Hahaha.

Anyway, I know this is random and funny and weird and some points gay but my housemate attended the funeral of a good girl friend of his who got murdered by her ex-boyfriend. This was an extreme case of stalking. May she rest in peace.

Nevertheless, I was surprised to hear the word 'murder' in Norway since crime rate here is very low. A lot of killings have been happening recently especially major killing in Virginia Tech. It just got me thinking that this is quite scary to be in a world like this anymore. Do not mess with this kind of people. Be careful guys and girls.

Snowing Again


Don't you love Norway! It can still be snowing in mid-April. And now in London it is like 20 degrees. Such a contra. That parking lot was totally black this afternoon. Now, it is white again. I don't know what to say about the weather here. Someone looked at me taking pictures in his room. Must be thinking I'm mad. :D

University Shooting in US

Recently, there is a big shooting in Virginia Tech University. About 33 people died in that and it is really horrible and terrifying. May the victims rest in peace and I hope the families will get through this ordeal.

I know this isn't funny but I couldn't resist saying that the 'shooter' looks like my online friend, Pokguy. I have known him for the past 6 years through utopia and I still keep in contact with him. I even met him in Toronto, Canada last year for 2 hours in Bayview Village. It was awesome reminiscing our glory battles against 18:20! This was my first time meeting up with a total stranger and it is amazing that he knows when I'm sad etc.

'Shooter'

My friend, Pokguy

Don't they look similar. I know Pok is going to kill me for this. He has already threatened to hunt me down. :D Just for the fun of it yea.
