My Graduation Day

Posted by IcedNyior on August 2, 2008  |  1 Comment

The big day is here! After a few calls and sms-es to make sure that I really am graduating and after one day of rehearsals, its finally D-Day. This post will be picture heavy.

After a night of clubbing with my new found friends at Laundry Bar & Mystique (and had way too much to drink), it was hard to get up to go to campus at 11am. Had to register then go and lepak with my classmates – some were taking photos and all that.

Tips for Final Year Project

Posted by IcedNyior on July 28, 2008  |  No Comments

I think one of the hardest things for a final year student is their final year project. One must find a final year project that is nice yet not too hard to do. It must also be something that is unique and different from your fellow classmates and/or seniors.

Choose a FYP that is suitable. Then comes the of writing the proposal and hoping that your lecturers agree with you doing that particular project. Once it’s approved, the real work begins.

First, make sure u plan out the timeline of your project. This is very imporant so that you know what should be done in a particular time.

Secondly, do your research. A good documentation has research paper references that are credible. Please don’t use wikipedia as your source.

Thirdly, start doing your project. Make sure to stick to your timeline. Regularly meet with your project supervisor to show your progress.

Fourthly, complete your documentation with all the coding and references. Get someone to look over your documentation. Preferably someone who has experience proofreading college essays.

Fifth, test your project and debug it. Double check and make backup copies. Sent your documentation early to the printers (especially if you’re doing it hard cover) and submit all your work on time.

Hope these tips helps you final year students :D

I’d see the words “Dear Graduate” on a piece of paper addressed to me. So much so that I called twice this morning to make sure.

Yes, pls send all flowers/chocolates and money to my address or banking account on Friday or Saturday. Hihi!

Travelling and Centro Club

Been a while since i wrote a proper post. Many things are going through my head and in my life now. Good things, not-so-good things, life changing things. Nothing life-threatening or dangerous tho.

My trip to KK was a blast (will write about Mag’s wedding and our Manukan Island Getaway soon). It was a great way to get away from everything that was happening in KL. Someone was really surprised I was in KK (coz I didn’t tell lots of ppl that I was going) so much so that he remarked, “wah, jauhnye membawa diri?” to which I just laughed. But honestly, it was a great opportunity to spend time with old friends like Mag, Tim, Derek and Rach and also meet new ones like Megan & Benny. Should have stayed there longer but finances did not permit it.

Came back on a Friday evening to KL. Rested the whole of Saturday then went to Kuala Kangsar for Puteri’s and Poker’s.opps..Aznin’s kenduri. I slept most of the way there and coming back. It was a really nice and simple wedding. Its the first time I was early to a kenduri. LOL! (Note to self : NEVER let Afdzal drive long distance if I’m chipping in for the fuel. He drives really really fast and the petrol also finishes really really fast. I think we spent more than rm50 on fuel alone)

I *might* be taking a 2nd degree. Umm.studies aren’t looking too good now. Don’t want to talk about it :(

On another note, I went to Centro (its this club in KL Central) last nite with my two of my classmates and friends. A girls night out with lots of dancing, sweating and drinking.  After that we lepaked at Pelita Bangsar – which at first I tot was Pelita at Jln Ampang then had to pusing back to Bangsar.

My review on Centro (since its my first time there). The area is pretty big with a big platform as the dancefloor. The bar was right in the middle so not much pushing and shoving to get your drinks. The price of the drinks was also not that bad : 1 glass Black Label + ginger ale (was very happy they had ginger ale – weirdly some clubs don’t) = RM 25.30 and 2 tequila shots = RM18 each. The DJ was not bad – R&B songs most of the night then house/techno music after 2am or so. Parking is also really convinient (a big plus!) and only RM4. Sorry, no pics this time. Too lazy to take photos plus my feet were killing me.

Have a great weekend ahead people!

One of those days

Posted by IcedNyior on June 25, 2008  |  No Comments

Nope, is not a good day for me today.

• For starters, my presentation for my final project is this afternoon (more on that later.
• I didn’t get enough sleep. My fault perhaps.
• I can’t figure out why the registration part of my project isn’t working on my laptop. Its my third attempt to run it. I tried online, on my pc and finally on my laptop.
• I’m doing last minute work and I don’t like it
• I found out that apparently the presentations were postponed to Thursday and Friday and the timetables (for the timing slots) were only released today
• None of my classmates who went early to campus (coz there was this interview thingy for ppl who were interested) bothered to tell me when my slot was
• I had to go all the way to Cyberjaya just to check a timetable and see what time my slot was
• I found out that my name was not on the list. Yeap, my name was NOT in the final project presentation list. Crazy rite? I had to ring up a number of lecturers before being told that I should just come on Friday at 3pm. Great, pushed to the very end – where the lecturers are already tired and cranky.
• Met up with a fellow classmate and her project looks nice – she’s taking a different course so its Java based.
• Two accidents on the way back caused huge jams on the LDP.
• Was hungry coz didn’t really eat much for lunch and called a few friends, but everyone was busy :(

I am *this* close to throwing in the towel and giving up. Repeat pon repeat lah. I should hv gone to study in London when I had the chance, would have eliminated all this drama. *sigh*

Where are you when I need you the most.

Down in the dumps

Posted by IcedNyior on June 13, 2008  |  No Comments

I’m feeling very demotivated lately. I’m not sure if its the stress of exams or not. I’m sure a few of my friends have heard me saying that I want to defer my final sem and re-do it next sem. They think I’m joking.

This week or so, I have no drive and no energy to do anything. My mom would call it being malas. But its not that I’m malas. Its just that for some weird reason my heart is not into this. I’m not eating properly, I’m not sleeping properly. I feel like drawing the curtains so that its nice and dark in my room and curl up underneath my comforter and sleep for months.

This is the first time I have so many projects lined up all at one time. I missed the deadline for one of it already. One of the major ones. And that one also I couldn’t do it perfectly because I have no idea how to. I’m sending it in today, a week overdue. Basically, every bit of my work for the finals is half-heartedly done.

All this makes me wish that instead of projects, I have exam papers – like students in other courses. Projects all at one time overwhelm me. With exams, making notes and memorizing and cramming is what I do best.

When I tell people about this, all they say is, “wait till u start working. It’s even harder. Study life is your honeymoon life – enjoy memanjang”. Well, fuck you la! I’m sure u felt the same way when you were in college/uni. I’m sure at that point of time the world felt like it was going to crash down on you and bury you under its rubble. And studying now is WAAAYY different from the time that you were studying. There was less pressure to succeed and be perfect then.

At this point of time, I would trade anything, yes ANYTHING, to be able to defer my semester without any hassle or my parents making a bit fuss out of it.

I feel miserable *cries*

p/s: If you can’t get me on my phone, don’t be surprised. I need time out.

I’m cranky and irritable

Posted by IcedNyior on June 4, 2008  |  No Comments

Yes, what’s new. Especially now that I’ve got tons of work to do. I’m feeling cranky and irritable.

I’m home alone for four days, from yesterday till Saturday. My family went to Jakarta. They’re having a ball of a time over there. The reason I couldn’t go was because I have a deadline this Friday. Its actually a good thing I didn’t go coz I had to go and pick up my exam slip this week.

So yesterday I sent them off at KLIA then dropped by Cyberjaya then went back to Kota Dsara, then he called and asked if we could meet up so I shot off straight to his place (a 40 min drive), went for dinner there. Then I got a call from Aree asking us to play Catan so we went home, took a shower then wen to her place and ended up going home at 2.30am.

Woke up so early this morning to send him off then cleaned up the house – washed all the dishes (the family left with a pile of dishes for me to clean), washed all my clothes and the clothes that’s been left soaking (also left for me to settle), and cleaned my toilet which has been dirty for some time. LOL

*He* tak jadi to come back this evening. He wanted to go back home to rest and do laundry. Like he can’t do it at my house la? Perhaps I’m too much of a distraction? Well, it would hv been nice to tell me earlier like this morning so that I won’t be hoping as much and feeling cranky now.

Oh, and to make matters worst, it rained again this evening while I was sleeping so all my clothes are wet. And it happened also YESTERDAY. Dammit!

p/s: I might not be contactable until Friday because I got lots of work to catch up with so when I do sleep, it will be at weird hours and my phone will be on silent.

p.s.s : Can I say that I’m absolutely so jealous my family is in Jakarta? They’re staying in a 2 bedroom service aprtment in one of the most expensive hotels there – The Ritz Carlton (company’s paying for it coz my dad has a meeting/conf there).

Haitus – Part 2

Okay I wrongly guessed the date of my exams. They’re later than I expected. So apparently I’ll be busy for much longer. Starting next week my schedule is packed with completing and passing up assignments. Sorry if I won’t be able to update as regularly as before. I should be completed in 2-3 weeks. Phew
