Update. CNY. ADP. Life.


Well, its been quite a while since I blogged. Sadly, (very very sadly) the plans I had for my blog has all failed. The idea to update the “How to stop Waiting for her SMS” post is ever a remaining idea. Also, the idea to make a post to tell the coming form 4s what to expect in WMS, and also the correct descisions to make in which my mates and I have made mistakes (such as trying to do so many extra-coco things and in the end get some lousy score, or even joining an unrecognized club. Well, the business (was trying to say busy-ness, ended up as business lol) of moving again, took up my holidays.

Look now, college life has restarted. Things are all new, all different. INTI is nice. The administrative system is WAY better than WMSKL. Although there are still some kinks to work out. (No one likes waiting again and again for the same reason mind you). Nonetheless, it’s real nice. The American system is a real refresh. Comparing to the Malaysian-British system. Still getting used to it. (OMG, finals is in April, the end of 1st semester).  It has made me realize how much lacking the Malaysian education system is. Take this example given by the awesome Calculus (CAL132) lecturer I have. You guys all know that odd numbers are 1,3,5,…. And so on right? What about even? 2,4,6,8,…. Right? Pretty simple. Something so elementary (noob) that we’ve learnt since what, 4 years old? Now, what about 0? Yes, zero? Odd or even?

See that, suddenly the whole class (except the foreign students btw) are all stumped? Zero? Neutral? Is it a number? Does it count? See? Something like this, Malaysian System has stripped it off.  Next is it positive/negative? Neutral?

(Zero is an even number btw, and also it is neutral. Go look for the explanation, like how US system does, it is no longer spoon feeding like what we’ve been taught.)

So there.  Another example is also that we can’t compare to other countries. My classes have some foreign students. All cool! So nice right? (Betcha my friends that ended up in MCKL don’t get this experience :P *trolling*)  So I’ve sat next to my Vietnamese friend, and again I took awhile to understand some calculus. Asking him he seemed to understand ti like the back of his hand. Thinking he was the genius kind, later only did I find out he learnt it when he was like 14 years old. (Dividing terms of unknowns, and also checking, lots of polynomials btw)
So back to where I was, lots of ideas for the post-SPM holidays have failed. Passing by the exit to KLIA now. J Staying back at my grandma’s place did make me realize the serene kampong life, and made me think how long will I still get to experience that, how long will I get to play fireworks, how long will I continue to get angpau, how long will I get to enjoy the traditionally cooked food, topped with duck sauce (yeah, my grandma makes the best duck stew) (*oowooowooohooh hoohooohwooohooh) :P (yeah just so happens I’m listening to it right now). To help mum wash the place up while my most of my other uncles and in-laws sit around like princesses) and listening to the chicken and duck make cute noises.

How long will all of this last?

As For relationships. Bah humbug.  It’s all a mess of thoughts in my head right now. Few moments ago I had the thought to thread em all down, but well, now its all stagnant. Maybe I’ll get to it when I feel inspired or unhappy again. J [translation: a very high chance I’m not going to get around it. :P ] Can't really pen em, so leave em in my head. :D

Till then J
