Being back ...

It’s a Thursday today... Morning, I woke up early at 7.15am. I had to wake up so early because I have to go to JPN office to renew my IC. I left the house at around 7.30 am. Other things beside renewing my IC this morning was to fetch my girl to school. However, her class starts at 10 am, so she had to follow me to the JPN office.

I reached the office there before 8 am which is the time it should have open already. To my relief, the office opened before eight and there were people who arrived even earlier. I got the number from the counter and it’s number twelve. Not bad... But for the first half an hour, progress was really really slow. Only after that it seems reasonable. But still it would still take another half an hour or so to be my turn. It turn out to be not like that. Because when the number reach 9. An old lady come to me and asked me what number am I. I told her twelve. She wanted to exchange the number with me and I can see that she is holding the number 9. We exchanged and I went to the counter to process my renewal. It took about 5-8 minutes to scan both of my thumb print and then take a picture of me. I paid ten ringgit for the renewal. I guess this is how the government makes money. LOL. After everything was completed, I was told that it’ll be done in a month’s time, and I’ll need to collect it only after a month in which I will not be able to as I am going to go back to PJ at the 15th of next month.

After that, she and I went to the McDonald’s at Greenlane’s... I missed the breakfast so much and I ordered two sets of it. I love the Sausage McMuffin especially. It’s still early and we have a lot of time before it reaches ten o’clock. So, we sat there and chatted for some time. I was surprised to see that the seats are not full. In fact, there wasn’t enough customer in it to even occupied half of the seats available. I mean, this McDonald’s outlet especially is opened 24 hours per day and 7 days per week and is located at the most commonly used road in Penang. It’s around 9am-10am, so maybe it can be excused because everybody is either going to work or school or anything of their concern.

Since I was back, I had accompanied my girlfriend for quite some time already. I hope that she doesn’t feel being avoided or being ignored even I am back now. Maybe because of this, she is somehow pampered. Today, morning, after the breakfast, I wanted to fetch her to her college but she reluctantly refused to go to school. She insisted that today’s class is useless and it’s pointless that she attend them. My opinion, class are important regardless of their usefulness. We attend class even if it is useless because of discipline matter. If we allow ourselves to skip class so often, it will eventually become a habit. This habit will follow us into our working days and so on. After 20 minutes of argument and pleading of so, she agreed to go to school. Later, I went home and continue my sleep with my girl dog, Viki... LOL...

I had my lunch at grandma’s and went home. Till now, I had somehow completed the first chapter of chemistry of semester 2. It’s not hard, but I just want to get everything into place and prepare myself for the next semester. So, because I already did my study, I planned to watch a few movies in the evening. After all, dad bought new Blu-ray Disc which I can enjoy in his home theatre which may cost more than 50k... The Blu-ray disc itself cost 150 ringgit. OMG... Nevertheless, at least I can enjoy Full HD ^^ So, what I watched is the third movie of UNDERWORLD: The Rise of The Lycans. The story is not bad. But most of the settings are during the night. So, most of the scenes are quite dark. The length of the movie isn’t so long either. I think maybe roughly one and an half of hour. Seems early, so I proceed with the next movie. I didn’t concentrate much on this movie because I was online and busy with my Facebook and checking my mails. However, even without my concentration, I can really tell that it is a nice movie. It’s a true story that is about the assassination of Hitler. You know, watching a movie will increase not only one’s language but also one’s knowledge. Because while watching this show, I learned that Hitler has a brother called Himmler.

Elder brother is going to work starting this Saturday and I am assigned to fetch him to work and back from work, lol... At least, after I dropped him at work, then I can have the car on my own for the rest of the day.

Coming back to Penang give me a feeling that is hard to explain. I can’t say that I am not glad to be back. Being back give me a sense of easiness. However, my freedom had been removed from me. Daily, I have to go down to grandma’s for meal and so on. But then I get to spend time with my dog, watch movie with my dad’s big plasma... and so on ... .. . But still I prefer to be in PJ, or perhaps not so fast... Because I miss the food here !!!!

One week's EXAM !!!

It’s 1852 hour now, Saturday... It’s raining on and off here in Kuala Lumpur. I’m now at waiting to board my bus back to Penang at Kuala Lumpur station. It’s still early, so I think I’ll write something while waiting. I have been off for quite some time ass lately I was busy for my examination. But it’s over now, the test is over. Well, to be accurate, it just over. My last test was Math, which I was not doing well on it. But I did not give up on it. Last night, I was so tired after sitting for my Computer Studies paper. The paper went well, I know how to answer pretty much all of the question. Some of them are from past year question which I did went through the previous night. But then, still, there are a few question that I don’t know how to answer. Nevertheless, I tried to answer it in a reasonable answer hoping that it would gain me some marks better than nothing.

As for today’s paper, I honestly thought it would be a disaster for me. However, I think my hard work pay off which I started since weeks before the examination started. Same like the Computer Studies, I know how to answer most of the question. But still, nothing is perfect, so I had a few question in which I am not sure about my solution. However, it would still guarantee me an A for math, which is more than I could hope for based on my performance. I am quite delighted to say this. Because math is my worst nightmare. It’s the subject that would drag me down on my CGPA. I am aiming for 4.0, but 3.9 would also be fine for me. And in order to get 4.0, I need to get A for all my subjects. And to achieve 3.9, I would need to get at least 4 A’s and maximum of 2 A-‘s ... .. . Ok now, the rest of the subject.

The first paper of the examination was Physics in last Saturday. In this paper, I was very very confidence indeed. It’s very I can perform very well. But then the paper was harder than I thought it would be. Was shocked shockingly !!! Luckily I perform well in my coursework thus I can afford to lose more marks in this final exam. Although it doesn’t went well on the first subject. I still manage complete it one piece. Should be an A, hope so, if the other question has no careless mistake on it.

No paper on Sunday, so I was busy preparing for the next paper. Monday was English test and Tuesday was Chemistry test. I didn’t thought that there is anything I could revise on my English. Therefore, I concentrated my revision on my chemistry. So, on Monday, the English test went ok, it’s neither easy nor hard and I completed it in just an hour. I used another half an hour to check on it and then I left the exam hall. So, when I left the hall, what I did was to revise on my Principles of Economics which is on Wednesday instead of Chemistry which is on the next day. I had a lot of confidence in my Chemistry more than in my Physics.

On the next day, the Chemistry, well, I can only say one thing, which is, I am so happy for it. Only a minor question that I don’t know how to do. Ok, nothing much for this, so let’s move to Wednesday. Okay, Principle of Economics. Well, I can’t say that I am very good at this because I am still new to it. However, I did work hard on this subject lately and I score 4.8 out of 5 marks in my quiz, highest in my group, which based on my friend’s calculation is one incorrect out of 30 questions. This gave me a bit of confidence. The examination itself wasn’t very hard and they have questions which are something similar to past year question. It’s EASY !!!!

Something pretty funny happened today during exam. I went into the wrong  room ! So 15 minutes through the exam, I had to change room. ^^  THAT’S ALL
