It was a fun filled weekend. Friday started off with some Pyjamas Birthday party of one of ma family. It was kindda fun. I felt like a '+5 star' General! It would have been an otherwise boring weekend staying at home doing shit but, I got to meet a number of folks....some 'o 'em even took to me! said they were looking forward to meeting me which implies that they might have known or heard about me in retrospect. I felt like a celebrity! Hahahaa...
Yeah! and that I was. Celebrity Fitness gym housed me for me more than 5hours and, I wasn't gyming......I was merely watching. Some move by some buds to make me buff. Howz that! It was good to hang out in the Mall for that length of time.
You know this look and feel you have when there is a remix of races? That was just it. A mixture of Arab-Syria, China, Nigeria, Norway....etc...it was really fun. I wish people could live like this instead of always cliquing with their own kind.
Do people live in the Malls? I mean like literally having Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Supper all there at the Utama? I could feel bordom set-in.
......Ub OUT!

"Enginglish"
I thought as much. Many peoplez asses were going to be fried and it did! The first ever all-round Engineering meeting since I joined the skool occured today and there are many developments that I put into pulp and ink. I ma about to covert it to bits...tag.
As usual, we started "pricisely" late. I used the words because, I am trying to live the talk. Pardon me! "If you are in the 2nd semester, can you rise up your hands please?"....this is the kind of grammar you might be hit with when some wonderful lecturers and students pick the Mic. This was going to be interesting. I grabbed an ink from some dude and started scribbling...Gosh! there was so much to jot. "People go to DISASTED places" Shakespear hasn't started!
I think ma blog would do well as a gossip spot too so girls...bite me!
The first shock I got was not the vast number of Engineering students which was surprising as well; it was the fact that there were females in ma school, even pretty ones too! I should think that most of them just joined or are almost graduating. Prior to these, I never got any inkling. Counting roughly, I think I settled with an average of 15 daughters in a school of more than 300 students. Isn't that amazing!
The agenda was just to inform us of their intention to make life more 'pleasant' to us here in the college by sipping away any small change that they left dangling in we wallets. Joining the Engineering society is not only compulsory, it is 5bucks! Our well-designed beautiful Uniform is going to be enforced within the next few weeks at a whooping 60bucks(Govt. tax, exclusive!). I could get a good pair of slacks for the dough yoh! Wonder why they should make things that we are going to pay for compulsory. This is modern robbery yoh! They said that the uniform will curb some mysterious discipline problem that god-knows-whose-mother has.....Peace.
That was pretty much the whole joint. The rest was just to make up for guilt. There was this discipline thing that the dean kept repeating over and over. I couldn't place that yoh! Damn! I was shocked to learn that ma school is owing the Bursary like 350grand! that is not very much as per the number of students but, ermmm...Ma share there is 'bout, 2grand. Little wonder why the niggas are up ma ass like 2grand can fix ma shit!
Nu shit-head policies were made and read out to us and our comment was not much welcomed as what has been will be. Dem niggas even said that students whose brains worked only in the night, will be deprived of the priviledge of resittin for thier flawed exams.....they gotta retake the whole joint again from the grass. Again, this means, mo money!..hah. They won't even be as patient as they have been. If you don't pay-up shit by the first two weeks of resumption, you are fcuk'd....its that bad.
I'd be asking ma dad to fix is Cell as he might be receiving international calls. Yeah! Ma department has madeit clear that discipline problems even in the form of being more than 15mins late for class will be courriered to the Parents and Guidances. This is to be preceeded by a phone call! Howz that! I'd be so glad to make 'em doiyt. Perhaps the cost of studying 'overseas' might be off-setted by some chilling international calls. Dad, I'll keep ya Cell beeping.
college blues
Wow~!
I have had so good in a long long while i.e. enjoying a class in the mornin! Electronic circuits class was so fun! Reason being.....we succeeded in lecturing the lecturer as the lecturer was so confusingly confusing us.
Boolean Algebra for Electronic circuits and De'morgan's theorem proved to be so much fun that the lecturer resorted to taking corrections from dumb 'etudients...how 'bout that! She even said that it might not come out that complex in the finals( maybe she might be too confused as to who or which is right).
My school has found out a way to make extra RINGGITs! They must have discussed this in the last GM as I heard some rumours....shhhht! Every Engineering student must be a member of an Engineering Club that has been dysfunctional for quite a while now. That comes at a price too.....5bucks! well, if ma stats are in terms, they might be getting a couple of thousand richer!(why didn't they peg the membership fees higher?)
That not being enough, I caught wind of the fact that we might have to be donning some poorly hewn-undersized-stupid-blue-technicians uniform as well! This goes for an amazing 60BUCKS! Are this guys crazy or what?
Aight, I'll fill-in on the outcome of the meet at 0014hrs. Please pray they do not increase the tuition as well. Judging on how things are turning out, they might just have the power to do this right there on the floor. We covert your pra'ers. Peace.

....The unobvious
Talking about little things that we take for granted and are turn out barely un-noticed. I was surprised that the end of a rather long day would be the last of itz kind in quite a while. Yeah! Technically speaking, no consecutive days has itz resemblance in any form or flare. Every day is different! But, speaking of the 20th day of May, 2005 at 8pm to be precise, itz a all amazing discovery. Kudos to the Meticulous of our society.
In a 24hr clock with date, say, a cell phone display. At exactly 8:05 at dusk, the display reads "20:05 20 05 2005" (time/date/month/year). This would easily pass the Careless and might not make any good sense to the gurus but, too bad! This is one of the last time this kindda configuration will ever hold sway in itz entirety....hmm.
Thanks to Sandra's (some Danish senorita) intuition and meticulousness! We even got to celebrate it with some Scandanavians amd Fillipinos at Star Bucks with some photo shots and Frapucino! Dig TAT!
Money Matters
Have you ever felt like you ar cheating or being jilted when you keep friends only because you got the dough? Don't.
Even the Scriptures supports this. I read this morning during my Time. It says that we should use money to keep friends so when it is wasted, we can have something to lean back on....People!
I am surprised that I never came across this earlier on but itz good that I did. I am going to post elaborately on this subject later on. I gotta bounce.
In a nut-shell, it pays to waste the Dols to make a Bud...pace-out!

REWARDS
"MISSING!
Hello, I am a Rotteweiler and I am 7years old. I have been taken away from my family and I miss 'em so much. Please if you find me, return me to the address below or call this number. A reward of RM300 will be given to anyone who finds and returns me. thanks."
Hmm....have you ever doubted the fact that Dogs can speak? Well, don't! Not only do they write now, they type using the Computer as well! thanks to....new-age technology!
The above phrase was apparently posted around one of the streets in ma hood by a DOG! Dig that!
Itz amazing the turn of events in the neighbourhood. I bet if some dude went missing, they'd probably might not put that much reward hanging over their heads..talking about Preference and Partiality.
About rewards, doesn't it have to do with surprises? something yu don't really deserve have no idea what the value might be? Well, times are changing and you could know the exact monetary value of your reward (might as well negotiate for'em).
This is the exact thing that is ruining our world. Our wanting to put monetary value on every goddamn thing, even the Priceless ones. This has itz pros and cons as it provides job opportunities(get into the neighbourhood and kidnapp dogs and fix a ransom). Why can't we just encourage people to get rid of this pay-me-for-shit attitude or better still let that element of surprise lurk. It not only makes honest citizens but prevents scam-heads asswell.
Paying a couple of dols for the stalker to return your expensive Dog instead of buying and raising is new one is worthwhile ain't it? Economists speak-up!

Thou art mere formality

I lost ma interest in thee yet awhile
alas! ma vow to blog I must feed
empty feelings fill ma gaze

then I make the streets ma abode
nay! what must be done must be done
and in the end the means thou meet
then will I find solace in thee soon

I got Cell!
I am connected! Itz temporary but itz factual.
Yesterday would have ended as normal as usual but, it didn't. I spent ma whole evening with some shorty who was kind enough to lend me her cell to use in the mean time. It feels so good to be connected once again though I still miss ma 'baby'.
I was supposed to be shaking out ma booty with some niggas at Sunway College but, I refrained to a quiet evening, cooking, eating till I got HEADACHE!,watching movies...etc. It did not stop till 'bout 4:40 in da morning.
I feel guilty! I am supposed to be working ma ass out fixing shit and studying for ma exams that is pretty much closing-in. I really needed to relax, to feel carefree for a season, forget about the rigours of life and just do shit. It was fun!
Getting components for ma project proved to be a uphill task now, fixing the joint proved even more challenging as I had to develop a new game plan in itz entirety....ALHAMDEDILLAH! Now that the joint is fixed, I ain't putting fire on it until ma lecturer OKz it. I feel like a chunk of load has been lifted off ma frame. I am left to figure out if I can weather the storm of the aftermath.
I gotta run for ma silly soccer training...peaceout!

Beware!...of pickpockets!
This feeling of adventure crept into ma thinking faculty quite early in the dawn. I was thinking of how to savage time that I wasted and have to recover. Jumped off ma bed into ma clothes and KL wa the destination.
I went with the original intention of getting some components that I blew up for ma Project but, it turned out to be an exciting-cum-tiring escapade. I ravaged ma brain to figure out the most convinient yet not expensive and easy way to get to Jalan Pasar. Owing to the recent nike in Cab fares, I did not want anything to do with the Cabbies but, I couldn't help it! I learnt a valuable lesson...never ask a Cab driver for direction..he might as well take you there.
I must have used all the available means of public transportation today except the ones with wings. What I thought was gonna be just an electronic component shopping turned out to be some serious all-weather shopping. I don't know if it was because of the little change I had in ma wallet or perhaps, some shopping spirit possesed me for a while. I only took caution when ma fare back was being affected....tsk! I am spending like I am earning and ma Mum's not here...HELP!
Travelling with the bus and train is seldom exciting so I decided to engage ma thoughts so as to disperse the boredom I was slipping into.....then this sign on one of the bus caught ma attention. "Beware of Pick-pockets!" ....Damn! I wouldn't bulge over such things because, no correct thinking dude would want to risk his hand for ma wallet but, I reasoned, 'is there any cause for this kind of alarm?" are the commuters thinking of something dicey?...who are this pick-pockets? - the conductors? I did not see any!
If there was be an alarm, I think it should be warning sleeping passengers that the Conductor will not wake you up at your stop or that if the stop-bell doesn't work...scream! The things that we should beware of are not emphasied...like, beware! our un-comfortable seats can cause spinal injuries or, beware! the number of jerks and stops can trigger hypertension......Beware!

Paused...
There was this break in transmission for a while. My silly project and other issues are having the best of ma sweet time. Every damn thing has been put on hold till further notice. God has been wonderful to me the past couple of weeks though....that I could go on and on despite the hurdles. I have had to deal with playa hatas, they came right under ma nose and it took discretion to be able to decipher it. Itz all good! what fun is life without these hatas around yoh!
I have totally neglected ma studies and have embarked on a spending spree may God help me. Ma project is on the verge of being completed. I would have done this earlier on if there was an Electronic component shop around ma assumed hood.
Lotta prospects are popping up and I am doing a whole different game in itz entirety. If the changes are eminent, bite me!
Like in the middle of all this drama there exists a one-week study break. It could have tarried awhile. It is supposed to be a blessing but ma lazy ass does not need a impromptu break now. I have even lost ma enthusiam to write.....peace out!

Lost
Have yu ever felt like quitting? Then the pressure zooms in way much and you are fret you might crash. Thatz just the way I feel now.
First it was Laziness, then it became Uncertainty. Now it appears to be like dissapointment but, I will not let ma guard down. I'll save it so we don't get no Failure
Have you ever been in a class you don't really understand what is going on but you cannot seem to think up questions as well? I have been in this spot. I could attribute it to lateness but, it wouldn't change a damn thing. Sat there assuming I was following whatever was going on but in the real sense, I wasn't! The funny part is that I couldn't think of questions to ask too! Well, I consoled maself in the fact that I can always read stuff up and learned the lesson.
The day went on like this and that and as I was about finding ma foot, I stumbled on dissapointment( these are blessings in disguise ain't they?)
I am in the midst of finding ma footing. I have lost ground for quite some while now. Pray I find 'em. Been on the careless side too! I left ma almost completed Project in College and I couldn't figure out where. Thank God for some good lass on safe-guarded it for me. My USB got missing in action too! All in one day. I was afraid I might lose ma sleep too but that wouldn't be. The list if lost stuffz goes on to a few marks in ma just concluded tests...I may be losing ma cool on some nigga pretty soon...somebody help me! I am losing ma words too!

Cheap is TALK!
If you are among those that advocate that talk is cheap? Well, you'd better have a rethink! The Mr Teo sumthing somthing Closed Debate competition just ended in my college and it was really not something to miss. The talk we talk for granted was a talk that folks were stuttering to talk! It was really amazing. The Debate has run through the week with the different schools in the college having verbal battles to make it as the year's champion. It was a period to reminisce on for some and a bugging memory for the others. Something about this Debate was unique. It wasn't just controversial topics but the cheers and jeers from the floor. It was more like an Argument. Who ever had fans in Debates? tsk!
Two folks made me not too miss the Debate sessions, A bitccch named Vishnu(Damn! this guy is a wind bag!..Tap that!) from Engineering School and some fake ass Beauty from the school of communications. It was a Word battle. Studying here has not really availed me the oportunity of listening to folks communicate with such constructive, well-reasoned, semi-polished, Vocabulary-rich well-accentuated English Language.....not even the Language lecturers! So, whenever I have the grace to listen to some cool shit, I am always so excited.
I like to take folks on and that is just what Vishnu did! Take them on right on the spot if the toy with your read intelligence. He would have won the best speaker's award if he wasn't too much on the mean-cocky-bitchy side. He was too good for his type. Other speakers sucked! It ranged mainly from the accent to the grammar. Some were ridiculously wack....'namean?
It is paying off for these folks who must have taken the extra effort to learn the Language wihout the 'LAHs'. I enjoyed listening to these guys yapp and I was clapping like an 'esctasiascal' manaic. People take sides in Debates but I jammed my dactyls for any bod who could impress me with wits and the Language. My school took the runners-up title but 'twas all good, I was 'perspired'.
I got into 'ma moods' and was almost sulking when some homeys came around and I got the spirit of talk. I kept babbling about god-knows-what until dusk. This continued without check. Resorted to listening to some Gospel vibes online. It was pretty much a lazy day for me, "the things I wanted to do I did not but things that I did not want to do I found maself doing"
Events like this I think if organised more frequently, would enable students understand that TALK is cheap-not so to say. It is learned....hah!

this tales
I did somethingI don't do quite often. Studied right into the night and I tell you, it paid of in minute quantities. I am getting used to last minute 'jacking' so I was thinking about the ample time I had until when at about 3am, I wasn't still done with my telecomm III shit.
Yeah! forreal! the guy had me big time! I don't regret those sleepless hours as I will catch up on it...but, I almost passed a blank SHIT of paper until I remembered this song. MUSIC is good baby~! I am like a moving bangbozzle. Don't try figuring out what that means cos' itz shit!
Walking up and down the college as if I am retarded..I ain't. This lazy life that Asia has input in me is having itz share. It been as bad that I missed the lunch that I really wanted to have because, by the time Mr. Fu finished fckuing us with Laplace functions, Ma head and tommy were yelling for relief.
I can't even stand around here anymore, I borrowed some shit from the lab to go fix my Power Supply Project at home. Until I get that joint working, I am not thinking straight.

Language
For some weird reasons all ma lecturers today delivered their lectures with a really heavy breath of 'accent'. I was lost at trying to understand the meaning of the "English" that I lost out on comprehensing the technicality of the subject matter. Yurk!
I really don't know why this 'people' should be given the priviledge of tutoring international students or is this a joke? It is really becoming a challenge. We were not for-warned it would come to this. I lost a whole '10marks' to some 'Language' flaws. The funny part of it is that, I don't know who to heap the blame on!
I really pity the students who depend on either the lecturers or thier fellow mates to spice up their knowledge of 'the' language because, they ain't geting no rebate. If given options I think most of the lecturers would prefer to use vernacular to dissipate knowledge.....wonder who'd be getting shit!
I can guarantee that most of the folks might graduate with first class but, their English language is not going to improve even by 0.5% for the three years that they are going to spend in college. I wish I could be of help. The percentage of students that learn or improve the language prowess in college is getting very negligible and something should be done about it urgently by peope who care or, it gets very astronomical.
People have their own opinions about preserving the culture and shit but I tell you that 'the' language is very much a unifying factor. The are a lot of factions in the society and if that is to be looked into, it might be seen that the dividing factor might be 'the' langauge.
I had the experience too! In my circle of friends, people are very meticulous about 'this' language that they'd laugh the living daylights out of you if you did as little as a grammatical error not to talk about outright blunders. Itz bad but, we were challenging ourselves and it paid off. No matter how much you read, spoken(conversational) English would always be the in-factor in improving both vocabulary and grammar...Ok, I am beginning to feel like a lecturer now.
I am being very lazy. There are lots of work to do but I am kindda working on food instead. Ate till I almost got broke....feel me! It took a lotta efforts to get ma fingers on the board..I shouldn't have!
...awhile
A longer night
a lingering sigh
a teary eyes
a tearing hope
then joy come in the morning!
A windy dusk
a colorful Walk
a cloudy sky
a watered lawn
All for a purpose it serves.
Do what you can,
burst what you can't!
let the night drain away your fears
Will the pillow soak away your tears
no matter how bad it becoming
There is always joy in the morning!
-Ub.

toot Part II
It never happened....I did it! I was so happy when I found out that I could fiddle with ma biro till the end of the exams. I must have wrote for a thousand kilometers!
The hot sun of Friday afternoon saw me battling with the traffic trying to fix all the plans I had for the week before the weekend really dawned. Celcom offcie was first. I needed to get ma number back so I tripped there. Despite the fact that I lost my Subsciber Identification Module (SIM) Card, I was able to get a new SIM after a very short period of interviewing. I think that was the best service I have had from humans in this part of the Globe. The rest had been by Machines. Yeah! For once I did not have to wait for five hours to dump '5pinks' in the safe, I opted to store it in the machine instead and was amazed at how much I could trust that thing.
To get the components for ma PSU Project, I had to tour the whole of the 'silicon valley' for hours. I finally got at it and at a holy price too. I thought that being a colored might mare me but it didn't. I ate like a starving Lion at KFC and made it home before it rained. Got some bling(damn! A brotherz not too broke for a bling man!)
Think it ended?....NO! Another round of adventure continued at ONE U, we browsed the Bookshop like we were academics, took out a bag of books, caught a movie, left the Cinema at 2:30am with a sleeping baby and a soiled diaper! Think that was fun? ....It was BUMP!

toots
Well, well, well! Itz been a hip week. Tired and decomposed as I might have been, I really had causes to be grateful. It all started out very blurry. The hopes were there but the faith was crumbling....thatz just what I needed for a change.
Maths IV test, Electronic circuits test, blah and blah. I had a very stressful but exciting week. Isn't it amazing how sometimes you feel so vanely lazy but at other times, you are so packed that you need an extra day! - life.
Wednesday was great! I had many treats. People were nicer than I presumed and I was only sorry for passing the jurisdiction before hand. Went hulla-hullying in IKEA immediately afte ma test and drove home with a more than 80kg workstation. The extra calories we added at Mc's was expended before dawn. The day was not over until 2am! was it fun or what?
Thursday was declared by the government as an official lazy day. My hate for these type of days here in Asia should not be over-emphasied. When I learnt we were playing a match in the morning, I was so elated. Two hours off the lazy day was taken off. It went on well but better when I scored my debut and last goal of the match in a 7-3 friendly entangle. I was almost being fried by the sun. I could perceive the smell of some burning flesh.
Next destination was, guess.....IKEA! For whatever reasons, we found ourselves wandering there in some pet shop...hmm. We did a more guys' thing when with our broke ass, we downed a jar of Tiger at 4 0' Clock in the evening. I am not used to this. Thank God I could still walk to the taxi stand and tell the cabbie where we was going.
The guilt of wasting an entire day without studying for ma test on Friday and having a broke ass on thursday haunted me as much as I needed to book! I slept away half of the guilt and felt worse in the morning knowing that If I didn't score, I'd hate maself so damn much.

Thanks
Beyond those cloudy nights therez a sun waiting to shine
Above those cold dirges therez a tune to swing......
I really feel in the mood of doing poems today but I gotz to do ma books for Mr. Fu's engineering maths test tommorrow.
As I had said earlier, I am being very calculative nowdays. Iz got to survive...'namean? There are so many doors, there are some many prospects. I can only have faith that God will bring my dreamz and plans to fruition and will not leave me to suffer shame.
People have been very nice to me of late. This is happening at an alarming rate. I see it as an answer to prayers. I pray God bless them still.
At last I got home to communicate me. Things are pretty much taking shape. It might take awhile for it to go beyond the normal runs. I am feeling much like a student now and I pray it be not short lived.
Haven't seen 'some' people for a while. They must be avoiding me like SH!T! I got ma PC Board for ma Power supply project today and, I finally was given a print-out of my results for the past two semesters. I thank God for giving me a CGPA of 3.72 and 3.79 for the past two semesters. If it gets better this season, may Glory be to God.
I am getting into contacts that might gel in the very near future. I am so glad to be an instrument of hope to many folks outta there. God is meeting ma needs in amazing wayz. I can face tommorrow without fear 'cos HE lives!
