College! How was it???

Finally... a post worthy enough to be called a post.....

there are a few things that i wanna blog about......
things like COLLEGE.....
How's it been?
How's it different from school?

well....
other than the uniform and the waking up super early schedule.... to me its pretty much the same....

But then again.... i was desperate for a new environment.... after being in Penang Free's School for 5 whole years..... i wanted something for a change.... thats the main reason why i opt for college instead of Form 6.... That n also i feel that i will juz slack off in form 6.... When my surroundings doesnt give a shit for wats happening then so will I.... i'm refering to certain teachers....

well.....
after a semester wif INTI.........
i feel that..... yea..... its pretty much the same as school life......
i feel like everyday is the same......

Everyones sit the same way


Sleep the same way
.
.
.
.
n eat the same food.....
at incresing prices.....................
(i didnt bother taking pics of the food... not worth)

Day after day i keep feeling that today will juz be like yesterday.... there is like no point going throught it all....


Okay..... i think thats enuf of sad things said.....

Now! For wat i enjoy about college life......

For a start it will be definately be
SPARKIE!!


My bike..... Named SparkiE!

The loyal bike awaits its owner everyday.....

I no longer need to rush together with the horrible traffic n frustrated drivers to go school early in the mornings.....
Now, i can take my time n relax......
Enjoy the ride while going to college.
N whats more......
INTI is located on highier grounds.
So the roads are a bit hilly
a typical Honda's greatest pride is its ability to hike!
its goes up hills smoothly
n goes down even nicer.......
makes every ride something to look forward to
except somedays..... when u wish u could juz teleport home....
but i still like riding my bike very much......


Next would be....
LAB!
The CRO!!

no longer those lame experiments we do during PEKA!
this time..... its ur call..... Experiment things on ur own.....
Do what u feel is right n get the results....
not some pre-recorded results which we get from textbooks.....
n the lecturer is something i muz reali highlight
MR. CHAN ROCKS!!
i never met a lecturer like him.....
damn pro..... damn steady....
damn scary oso.....
but all in all.... a nice guy.......
he is our lab leacturer.....
he's the lecturer who stays till 11.30pm for his students to do aimless experiments....
(i only stayed till 9.... too hungry d....cannot tahan.....)
The experiments in College Are Truely EXPERIMENTS.....
Meaning....
"ok.. we try this... does it work? no? then how about this?"
n it goes on n on till we get what we think is 'right'
then we will proceed to Mr. Chan to be assessed....
This part he's scary.. when u think u're so bluudy sure of urself n ur little project... U explain everything u know to him......
He will then stare at u with sceptical eyes n go "Sure ah?"
u will get marks slashed after that....
A CRO reading.... n what we muz interpret..

then there is this 1st attempt, 2nd attempt n 3rd attempt system.....
Get it right the 1st time.....
n u get 5 marks.... if wrong, come again.
Get it right the 2nd time......
n u get 3 marks... if wrong, come again.
Get it right the 3rd time......
u get 1 mark and if u get it wrong again u'll be signed as incompetent n u dont need to come anymore...

A basic combination on a capacitor n resistor

I juz love the part where there is only 1 big rule which is
"As long as u dont spoil the equipment.... u may experiment as u wish"
I love/hate this subject....... EGE 161........
Truely the paradox of my college life........
I like it 1 moment..... n it becomes my greatest enemy the next....
Hard to explain....
at the end of the day.... whether i like it or not... i did enjoy it.....

n yea.... i'm the unofficial troubleshooter for Class A.....
practically everyone in that class will call me to check their circuit before it is assessed....
an honour as well as a curse......
everyone start doing that until i cant do one for my own group
Pity my partner n round partner(i have a round guy n a hostel guy as my partners)
both awesome people....
all with our own specialty....hehe

Ah YES! n i also had the chance to get to know to these few ppl better....
Joel
Wen Ping
Jun Guan
Boon Kit( kity?)

n yea.... toh too....
they play a very large role in my life now......
I'm practically lost without them..... literally n figuratively....
I cant live through college a day without u guys.... even 2 hours is scary...

Well.... Of course there is so much more to share but i'll separate it to a few post cuz it'll be boring if i put it all one shot!.... so stay tuned for more!( i'm lazy n tired right now)

Overall..... Things are ok.... for now......
Well.... it is juz the 1st semester..... Obviously, there is much more to come.....
n also.....

"when 1 door opens, another door is closes.... if we keep looking back at the closed door with regret n sorrow.... we fail to see what lies beyond the oponed door........"
~extracted from eric's blog said by some wise guy.....~

so...... i'll go by the choice that i have made n the door i have opened for myself..... i'll get through it.... I WILL!!!! whether its the 'right' way or not... it doesnt matter! ITS MY WAY!!!
