...of my site analysis trip, if you're interested.At the beachKellie's Castle and UTP
I was thinking of an idea, of something i want to do but can't because i don't know how. I have this idea in my mind to create this website which is like a classified ad website, but for UIA. so in it would be housing for students (houses wanted, roommates wanted, house for rent, etc), car rentals, lost and found, services, promotion, etc. at the very least it would save people paper...!for example, the lost and found.when people put a listing under lost they specify what it is that they lost, eg, a handphone with the descriptions and all. then s ...
6 degrees
My social networking skills were called into play a few days ago - a friend asked me if I knew any service apartments and if I knew where to find a DJ since her friend wanted to throw a party.Service apartment? The only one I know is the Ascott where we stalked the Manchester United youth team last summer. That is near KLCC, and will probably be very expensive.DJ? Well... one of my friends met and fell in love with a DJ in Sunway, but that’s all I have.She then asked if I knew this other girls' phone number since she had a party recently, but I h ...
Hello…
I have been told time and time again that I can be very unfriendly when I feel like it. I know this to be true, but only on rare occasions. The truth is, I'm just embarrassingly shy and self deprecating. If I don't say hi to you when I see you around campus, its not because I'm stuck up and snobby. Its usually because of one of these reasons:1.I don't want to disturb you when you are with your friends2.I don't want to disturb you when you are enjoying your solitude3.I don't know if you remember or recognise me since we met randomly through frien ...
The Homecoming
Firstly, I'm sorry the pictures aren't up yet - Facebook refuses to upload my pictures for some odd reason.Many of my classmates are back from their overseas studying, so today we had a mini-reunion in the middle of the hustle and bustle that was Mamma Mia. For the uninitiated, Mamma Mia is an eatery in IIUM where many students choose to hang out for lunch in. This is because not only is it air-conditioned (not that you can feel it when its packed) it also caters to international tastes, i.e. people who can't eat spicy food. Prices are on the ste ...
Fun, and then craziness
I have a cold, resulting from either eating rambutans or from the rain and a/c combo. Or both. On Friday I woke up at 3.45a.m. To get ready for our site analysis trip to Lumut. We were supposed to be in front of KAED at 4.45 a.m. got there just in time, groggy and freezing, and boarded the bus, which was like a freezer! Drove for about an hour and then stopped in Rawang for Subuh prayers. Drove some more and stopped somewhere for breakfast. Then we drove some more till we got to Kellie’s Castle. My mom was telling me about it when we went to ...
How could this have happened?
On the 11th of July 1995 an estimated 8000 Bosnjaks were massacred in Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Serbian Army. The region of Srebrenica was assumed to be a safe area as it was under protection by the UN Forces. However, even in the presence of armed Dutch peacekeepers, the genocide continued right under the UN's noses. Although those killed were predominantly men and teenage boys, the massacre also included instances where preteen children, women, and elderly were killed. They targeted for extinction the forty thousand Bosnian Mu ...
The Wasting of a Day
Things I am particularly loathsome to right now:DotAunreliabilityindecisionWas supposed to go and buy little brother's school uniform today. Yesterday it was agreed that we'd go early in the morning. So I woke up early, showered, got ready, did some chores. Then its announced we will go in the afternoon, at five. But at five our designated driver is dead asleep, and only wakes up at 7. We'll see if we are going tomorrow. All of this (buying the camera and school supplies/uniform) was actually supposed to be done on Thursday.Meanwhile me and my si ...
Back to square one
Went out yesterday to buy a new camera since our old one got stolen. My dad had already picked one out, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3, which was almost similar to our old one, but still different.My older brother told me to research other cameras as well. So I did and ended up with several options, the most promising one was the Canon Powershot A580. Both of the cameras were for RM799.00. Finally got out of the house at 3.30pm, and went off to Times Square to park. My brother wanted to go to Low Yat but I preferred looking around in Times Square Firs ...
three out of eight
...managed to do 3/8 of the things on my to-do on Saturday list.First went to KLCC Convention Center with my older brother to the Post grad Asia fair. Not much there really. Then helped my little brother with his gift shopping. Then went to KLPAC to fetch my sister, and while we were there we hung around for a bit.Let me tell you something about KLue Urbanscapes that maybe the starry-eyed failed to notice, just didn't care about, or closed one eye to.There were loads of people. Many of them were smoking. You’re thinking, big deal, yeah? Well not ...
Choices
Watched "The Incredible Hulk" today, at the insistence of my brothers, coupled with the refusal of my sister to sit through "Kung-Fu Panda" and the lack of anything else to watch. The movie was LOUD. Had to stick my fingers in my ears more than several times. The only saving grace was Edward Norton, who I like anyway. Liv Tyler, oh my god, breathy voice is annoying!Tomorrow I have so many things/places/events lined up that I need to choose from:UrbanscapesRA FlashMobButterfly Park with Nada and SumeyraWatch "Wanted" with AzizaGo Out with Ayesha ( ...
Electronic Orchestra
This is just mind-boggling. How this guy got all his old electronics to perform in a kind of orchestra is amazing. Song played by these parts in Radiohead's "Nude".You have to listen to the whole thing, the first minute is kind of werid and boring but after that its just pure genius. it adds up to the experience!This is what the guy had to say:"Radiohead held an online contest to remix "Nude" from their album - "In Rainbows" This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played i ...
A Story
There once was an iceberg. It was a small iceberg, and it floated around happily in the cold ocean, making friends with bigger icegergs, and enjoying life, relatively. Sometimes polar bears would stop by and doze off on it, and sometimes even seals. Penguins liked the iceberg as well, as it was small enough to jump up on for the young ones. But one day, a peice of the iceberg broke off. It was a small piece, not anything to worry much about. But it kept on happening. The water became warmer, and the iceberg was breaking apart quicker than ev ...

Exploration and Discovery
I think in my previous entry I mentioned how I was done with my exams. Today however, my Intro to Built Environment class had an assignment to do, Urban Trail, which brought us to Petaling Street and Jalan Masjid India. It was my first time in Petaling Street, much to the surprise of our senior who was acting as our guide.Let’s just say the day was full of discoveries, not necessarily related to the assignment itself. Actually, not related to the assignment at all. This much I’ll say, innocence can be deceiving - and I should know. On the flips ...
Bye Bye Birdie…
I had my last exam today, it was Land Surveying. I read through everything a zillion times, paying close attention to engineering and construction surveying and GPS. The first two parts of the paper were easy peasy, i finished it in less than 20 minutes.but then i turn the page and read question # 3, and all my hopes of an A start flying away....doesn;t help that i think question 4 was faulty, but when i tried to ask sj he said it was right. ok then...anyways i'm done with my exams,buti still have homework can you believe, even when the semester ...
The should be’s of life…
I should be cleaning up my room, and the house.Cats should be allowed in our household. Then I won't have to spend hours staring out the window at my neighbor's cute cats.People who play computer games loudly while other people are trying to study should be more considerate.My sister should be cooking more than just fried fish. And she should cook more. She's not doing her fair share of chores.The Land Surveying Notes should be online, but not all of them are. My exam is on Wednesday.I should be studying and not editing my blog layout.
