Weekends


Everybody looks forward to the weekends, it's like the 2 free holidays of the week in a year.

Friday... friday... getting down on friday...

Instead of going out for movies with friends or relaxing, i worry about finishing my maths exercise or revising my notes.

It is my second year of studying engineering in the university. I have always been having doubts on pursuing this course. In the first place why did i even
choose to pursue this course, i do not know.

Peer pressure?
My brother is an engineer,
My aunty is a process engineer.
My relatives are engineers.
So everybody would think that i should follow their steps and pursue engineering as well...

Have been joking with my housemates about opening a restaurant or stall around TTS. We would joke about having pork on our menu, since our university
cafeteria serves only halal food.


We would joke about opening a Lok Lok stall and imagine all the univeristy students coming to our stall to eat.

Or a Dessert Shop next to the Lok Lok stall, probably something like Snowflakes.

WHY STUDY SO HARD? Go sell chicken rice also can become millionaire!


Watched "The 3 Idiots" last week, was talking about this issue, why study something you are not interested in, but study it because your parents want you to or study it because everybody else is studying it(even your neighbours' dogs).

These days, looking for a job outside can be so difficult, need to be the cream of the crop in order to get into a good company. Simply throwing a stone also will hit a graduate with First Class Honours.

I have become more like a nerd now, it's for the best, for my future...

I will try my best to suit in...

It's going to be very difficult... i'll need to sacrifice most of my time... i'll never give up.

Musicality

I always wondered that the musicals here in the UK would be somewhat different from the ones I attended back in Malaysia. Hence, I made sure I attended at least one musical in London. Musicality is a musical society here at University of Nottingham. They are made up of many students from different courses and background and boy are they talented! I attended their annual musical production: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical at the Nottingham Arts Theatre which was located in the city. Their performance was marvellous. Although I kind of forgotten the story but I never once felt bored during the performance. Like every musical, there was a live orchestra below the stage and there were equally splendid. The bed making part of the backdrop whereby Dr.Jekyll would be lying on it at the beginning of the scene The orchestra ensemble taking a break So many people were involved in the musical. Directors, producers, designers, bac...

Them Housemates

Image
(10/01/12) I feel so weak and inferior around them. I am the last person they would ask if they didn't know how to solve a question. I always feel like i'm not part of the discussion. It's as if i'm left behind, so much further away from them. I am sitting around them, yet they prefer to ask the other housemate sitting upstairs I don't know why but somehow i feel pissed They just ignore me... I am not worried if they see this, they don't even know i have a blog I feel... sad, frustrated, hopeless sometimes i feel as if i am in the wrong course, taking the wrong path of life, they make me feel... bad still, i am grateful to have them as housemates and coursemates. i can always refer to them whenever i didn't know how to answer a question. or i could just borrow their solution and refer to it. or i could ask them to teach me. when exams season are here, there is this feeling of desperation lingering in the air. what is the answer to this que...

Attachments

Total attachments : 2 doc. Click to download NO not those kind of attachments in emails. I hate it. It makes you keep thinking of something(maybe someone?) you have just feeled, watched, smelled or heard. An example, your over-priced handphone that enables you to do almost everything with it, can you leave it aside for one day? Not replying any calls or messages for one whole day? CAN YOU? Or, not checking people statuses and updates on Twitter(i don't tweet) or FACEBOOK! CAN YOU? In the Buddhist context, attachments causes suffering. We keep thinking about that something and we cannot focus on the things we are currently doing, our mind is not at peace, we are in SAMSARA (suffering). For me, i don't know is it only me or what but after reading a book i always have this feeling of attachment. I don't want the story to end, I feel a sense of sadness and regret. I hate this feeling. After watching movies(especially romance), i don't want it to end, i want it t...
