finally, a week's break. it's been almost one month now since my last post... in the past few weeks, i've had tests, quizzes, assignments, one job (industrial training) interview and i took part in one engineering competition. and all of these took up all my time and more...
well, where do i start? how bout the competition? ok... it's the engineering invention 'n' innovations challenge (einic) 2006. this is the second time i took part in this competition. dun blame me for my less than enthusiastic entry about the comp this time, i can still taste the bitterness of defeat in my mouth.
the first time (last year), we won the best booth competition. not bad considering it was our first try. this year we ended up with nothing. i'm not a sore loser. i dun mind losing to someone admittedly better than us. and the winner... well, i dun wanna condemn their ideas and effort... let's now forget about that and move on shall we?
next up, my industrial training. this is much better news. first, i've already confirmed a placement with ae automotion in johor. the only downside is that they only provide rm300 allowance and i've got to find a place to stay on my own. so 300 ain't gonna take me through a month. second, i've been called for an interview with virtual tech in kelana jaya. i haven't had the reply yet but this is much more promising. they are a software company (engineering related - design and analysis), the kind that i'm interested in. and i can stay at home and drive there everyday so money won't be a problem.
about all my tests, quizzes and assignments, well... i'm kinda used to all that these days. i mean... it's been 3 years now. and this sem, i think i can handle the subjects. all except one. and it's due to the lecturer not the subject. that bloody lecturer... he's getting onto my nerves every single class... it's tough to concentrate on the subject when i've got so much ill-feeling towards the lecturer. i dunno how to explain it here but he's just damn bloody irritating.
let me give you one example. for his second quiz, i got a 2/10 coz i was totally unprepared. he ended up talking about my score for 30 minutes the next class. not only that, he helped me spread the news to the other sections that he's teaching. give me a break will you? and before the midterm tests, he asked if we have any questions to ask. but when we asked him questions, he replied with sarcastic answers (none of which answered our questions)! if you do not want to answer us, why bother to ask us in the first place?
i think that's enough complains for one entry. hopefully my next post will sound more optimistic and cheerful... it's gonna be the chinese new year! bye bye lil chicken... make way for the puppy... hehehe....
