Seems two ppl have already started to nag at me for not updating my blog~ haha. Hey, i've been rather busy with Maths 277 (goddamn S&S and vector spaces! >.<) and FDD. Giving my a headache man.. esp this week's FDD lab.. geezus.. have to design a Base-6 system! Its like so different from a Base-10, 2..etc.. esp when dealing with the Truth table and K-Map. hahaha.. bet u all dunno what i'm saying. lol


Finally got some time to type abit here and there.This week: Got to hand in my 1st Math 277 Assignment, finish up my weekly FDD quiz and prepare for my weekly Probabilty Theory weekly lecture test as well~ All in all.. not toO bad i guess~ Somehow, i sorta enjoy doing probability so far.. use quite abit of ur intuitive skills.. so sometimes dun really need to think toO much haha~


Oh yea, my 2 week study break starts next week~ Time to relax abit.. and by abit i really mean abit. Gotta study for 2 mid-sem exams - EC 203 and EM 201 - that start after the break.. not to mention i also have to submit assignments for those two units as well. =\

Nonetheless, i'm so gonna catch the new Mr.Bean movie with my friends during the 1st week. haha.. my sis its funny and i'm gonna spend the $12 for the tix. >.< Hope its worth the money.

Hmm.. actually there're quite a few movies opening here this week.. "Wild Hogs" (another comedy with an all-star crew - John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, Tim allen etc.. "300" - which i heard is really gD and rather inspiring.. a group of only 300 spartans against a million-strong army.. and "TMNT".. which somehow doesn't really appeal to mE anymore.. heard from reviews that its more of a "kid's movie".. despite the CG animation. Obviously.. i won't catch all... i'd have a few holes in my pocket. =\


Back to the topic at hand.. there is one thing i've noticed about Australian TV commercials.. and that is they are either v.lame.. or hell hilarious~ hahaha.. and i must say, i've seen quite abit of the latter recently. Take the vodafone advert for example (which is my fav. one currently.. hahaha.. i just can't help but *BURST* out laughing out loud everytime i see it.. hafiz toO haha) You guys can check it out here:

There are basically 4 v.short clips. The one that really cracks me up is the last one.. haha. Go see for urselves. However, it may not appeal to some of u at all. It really depends on what ur definition of 'humour' is~ (and whether u understand what the advert is trying to put across of coz..) I will admit its abit lame in some aspects.. but nonetheless i think it was v.well done and certainly caught MY attention (which is what adverts aim to do right?).
Simple yet effective.. and of coz, hell funny lol~


Oh yes.. with the help of my sis, i've just embedded music into my blog template~ Naturally.. the music must suit the "theme" of my blog outlook.. so it isn't surprising that most of the songs are.. Mika's~! lol. I'll try to change tracks every now and then.. dun want u guys to get tired of the same songs repeating.. esp if u visit my blog like 10 times a day or something... HAHAHA~ =X


i hope the music adds as a '+' instead of a '-'.. coz i know some ppl (sometimes mE toO) find music abit distracting while reading posts etc.. You can switch it off anyway.


Btw, Daylight Savings is no longer in effect here.. i.e: basically my time and Sg time are the same again. For those who didn't know.. i have been 1 hr ahead of u guys in Sg ever since i came back.. but that's all fine and dandy now. lol


Autumn has arrived.. temperatures are beginning to dip now. Take tmrw for example: Min 8 Max 21.. as compared to last week which had a max of 37 - 40. *phew..


Well.. gotta get back to my EC tute now.. i'll try my best to update whenever i can~

*cheerio~

Curtin on 2

Ohio~ Sashibudi! - That means something like "Hey~ Its been a while".. lol~


Finally got my home internet this week on Tuesday~ After all the crap from the lazy bums (previous tenants), we were finally able to apply for a telephone line (which toOk only a day to activate) and subsequently our internet from Westnet~.. another 4 - 5 days for that.


So, my apologies for the recent stagnant air surrounding my blog~ I've installed a new filter and air-conditioning in it liao... haaha...ha.....ha....h... *ahem*.. -_-"...


Btw, just to update all u guys out there~ In case u are thinking of sending me anything.. my new home address is :
26A Sill Street, Bentley(that's the suburb), WA 6102
I've also got a home phone number.. in case anyone feels lonely and needs a chat (hah.... *ahem.. -_-"). That's, +610893580073
My Hp number is still the same of coz, +61 0415398652


Currently living in a house with 3 others - my bros Hafiz and JJ, and another indonesian guy who is a father (of.. hmm can't remember how many children he has.. 3.. 4? Oops) and he's like 40 plus liao. Apparently his company (quite big in indon i think) sent him and some others to further their Masters' in Mechanical Engineering~ A nice guy nonetheless~ Very homely and.. erm.. fatherly? lol~


Well.. the new semester started off with labs and reports thrown at me.. and the one thing i realised (luckily i was warned beforehand) was the transition between Year 1 to Year 2 is HUGE and W I D E~ In year 1, they still help *spoon-feed* u abit.. guide u along.. But come 2nd year onwards.. they expect u to know almost everything beforehand and just "leave u be" in a sense. For example, u would expect the lab supervisor to brief u on stuff for the first lab session right? - WRONG. My first lab sessions.. we walked in.. and *bang*, we were told to find a seat and begin the assignment. Haha.. i'm really thankful i was advised and warned by Hafiz and JJ.. so i was already prepared for that.. and seriously if not for them.. i'd probably be stunned for awhile. And that lab which i had - Foundations of Digital Design 201 - was assessed on the spot.. so if u dun know how to do by the end of the 2hrs.. well basically u get more or less a big fat "0".

Scary huh.. o.O"
I think i managed to scrap a 75 for that first lab. Hehe~


All in all though, its still rather manageable thus far~ *cross my fingers* and pray (and study of coz) that this sem will be alright for mE~



*p.s~: jO, im not mad with u at all~ dun worry ya? And i loOk forward to ur treat in july~ Hehe =P



Oh yes~ i have an announcement of the utmost importance to all of you out there~...

*MIKA'S NEW 4TH ALBUM - "YES" - IS COMING OUT SOON~!!! DO GRAB UR COPY ASAP!! WHOO-HOO~!!* =D


lol.. =X



`loVe u'all~
