24 Oct 2007 NetBeans IDE
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

Attended my very first online conference of a net chat session with the people of Netbeans IDE themselves. It was very QnA style, and I quite enjoyed it, although the panelists are working furiously to churn out loads of answers. :)

Managed to ask my fair share of burning questions about NetBeans. :)

Shall post the link of the transcript when it is up. :)

Thanks Tianhong for the joining in the conference. It was good exchanging views and ideas :)

22 Oct 2007 monday…
 |  Category: my life  | 6 Comments

A wet Monday morning! Woke up to the smells of rain, the fresh air, and lots of cold air blowing through my room… brrr…. but its a nice welcome, to wake up with cooler weather than the usual humid and oh-so hot weather…

It’s e-learning week for my faculty this week, although the timing is more slack, but then, a lot of things to catch up on :) The plus point is time management. Covering one module already give me so much satisfaction… Imaging sitting through recordings which constantly need buffering… a real pain…

Software Engineering 2 module, however, has no e-learning because all lessons are already over. :) As for AI and DB, it’s been postponed to next week, where the professors are going to attend a conference… but DB is holding its last lecture today….

Exams are coming in 3 weeks. Freaky… Time to mug even harder la…

A great way to start my morning, with 65bits pod cast! LOL. :)

Happy Monday!

21 Oct 2007 blankness.
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

My mind is a blank at the moment. I think I need to really isolate myself for 1 hr, and sit through some mediation. Seems a bit out of focus at the moment. Not a good sensation to be put through, honestly.

on a personal level, I am glad I started making changes and taking steps to get to where and what I want in the some time near future… there’s nothing wrong to plan and execute. lol. but I guess the real hurt comes is when people around you don’t really seem to understand it… that’s ok… even if it’s just one person who supports me, that’s good enough. Someday, somehow, they too will see it… That has been my belief ever since.

These days, I lived my life like there is no tomorrow… and that’s the driving force in my life these days… I enjoy moments of solitude, moments of fantastic company, moments of excitement, and etc… In short, perfect moments for myself.

I don’t deny I have changed, but if the changes are for the better of myself, I am more than happy to embrace that change. It’s something that I always wanted, and now that I have got it, all the more I need to cherished it, and treasure it.

21 Oct 2007 a rarity of not to blog.
 |  Category: my life  | 5 Comments

Its indeed rare for me not to post any new entries for 7 days in a row. Rare indeed. For it’s known to most people that I am an active blogger. Oh well.

Yes, people would have read our blog posts as well as infer from twitter would know that my relationship has hit a very rough patch…. So rough that it still stings the memory, and digs out all that feelings. Perhaps the best way is to do what was mentioned in his blog. Both of us has been hurt quite badly in different ways, so I guess let time do its healing.

I cannot say in the future that everything will be ok… So I will have to see whatever comes… Its not about being in control right now, I would rather leave everything to Cupid.

In the meantime, this will also leave me more time to spend time with myself, and do the things I wanted to do so badly. I got into the Sun Technology Program in my faculty. Woohoo! :D (that’s a piece of good news) :) Congrats to wei jian and cheng yi. They too, have gotten in :)

This is the second step of my personal journey. The acceptance into the program, is quite significant to me. The third step would be on internship, and I hope to shine through it there.

14 Oct 2007 another week…
 |  Category: my life  | 12 Comments

Exams looms closer by another week. As of today, its 1 month away to my first exam paper. Time really flies. Darn. At this point in time, I still have the following list of assignments and projects yet to be completed and submitted.

  • Operating Systems Lab 3 + Oral Assessment
  • Artificial Intelligence Lab 2 and Lab 3
  • Software Engineering Lab 4 and 5 + Finalizing all reports

I guess that is all I am left with, but there is a lot work involved to actually complete them. Darn.

On the other hand, I look forward to the faculty’s e-learning week, and hopefully, I can really make use of the time to do some really effective studying… :)

And I sure am going to make sure this vacation will be fully occupied.

12 Oct 2007 random of sorts

To my malay readers: Selamat Hari Raya ~! :)

Its Friday. Darn. Another week of school is yet again over. And am feeling scared by my my friend, with all the exam countdowns, I can’t help but push the panic button. LOL. With some assignments and projects left to clear, I might as well be a totally good girl and finish it all…

Then I can study in peace :)

Hmm, I will be taking 5 module papers this semester, having SU-ed an elective. I know I am not a lit student, but I will just give my best shot at writing essays :) Seen through the past year exam papers. Gosh, sure is tough. But let’s see how things goes…

Still feeling sleepy though, in a Friday morning. That’s normal la. Considering that I slept at 1 plus and woke up at 5 plus. tsk tsk, at this rate i sure am going to do myself in again. =X

This entry is a very random post of sorts. lol.

10 Oct 2007 sleep woes
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

Just finished my Database Project Presentation. It went alright, and I am relieved that its over. Ok, so 1 module’s lab is completed, next will be OS, AI and SE2. As OS and AI is individual lab, it will be ok. SE2 on the other hand, has somewhat more stuff to go through.

Feeling the burden is my own body. Been pushing myself quite hard on Database Proj (to understand what is going on) as well as burning time on other projects. So much so that I had 3 hrs of sleep only, before a long day of Tuesday’s classes. Result? I can’t help but falling asleep in class. Was so tired out.

And today, my body decide to revolt against me. I wanted to stay in school to study and work on my assignments, but alas, this morning when I woke up, stomach wasn’t feeling so good. So i took out my laptop pack and went to school… I was right, I did not even have the mood to eat breakfast. Whatever goes in feels like coming out. =X Perhaps a lack of water intake? Which is impossible. I downed 3 bottles of plain water just last night. -.-”

Gah….

09 Oct 2007 All Good Things
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

Just particularly hooked to this song… the tune is just so addictive. lol… Enjoy~

“All Good Things (Come To An End)”

Honestly what will become of me
don’t like reality
It’s way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don’t see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I’ll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets it and I don’t cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day ’til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.
