Magazine~~

It seems like ages since I last posted something on this blog. Well, thanks to an assignment called "Class Magazine". . . . . .

Apparently, I have the look of the editor... during the election, my classmates seems to vote me without any habitations ~~ my, what a surprise~~ 

Before I knew what hit me, I was dragged in to piles of work...

In order to produce a high quality magazine, I simply HAD to rewrite my classmates' articles.

While from what I have heard from other fellow editors, they had simply rejected the articles and ask the authors to rewrite it...=.='''

Luckily, my partner(oh I forgot, there are TWO editors in our class, while other class has ONE editor and ONE manager...this means that both of us is doing multitasking instead of specializing like others), Priscilla, has a car...and, of course, she is a qualified driver...has lots of contacts(with publishers and tourism office) and is not easily frustrated by my attitude(I always say : Anything will do... but in the end, I end up rewriting most of the articles I am editing . . .) 

Of course, I mustn't forget my dear graphic designer, Hugh. who dump in tonnes of effort to get this assignment done on time. After I edited (ahemm....rewrite...ahem...)the articles, he has to edit them...

Best of all, I only edited half while Priscilla edited another half (she has MUET qualifications so she needn't rewrite everything to get things right), whereas Hugh has to design all of it + the front and back covers + content page....... hahaha 'm such a genius when it comes to escaping jobs~~~

Well, at last, our magazine was published yesterday. . . 

The teacher says its nice. . .

The teacher doesn't notice I've substituted Alvin's face with Jiafen's photo (search for them in Facebook, you'll laugh your heads off!!!) because I can't find Alvin's face in my computer. . . and did not know he plays Facebook until today. . . .

Anyway, it is done. . . 

Oh did I mention our trip to Kubah??

That was the best trip ever!!!

We planned the trip in 4 days flat--

On the 5th day we were already departing to Kubah~~

See how efficient we are at our planning?

University life episode 4----- >_< ----Physics at Godspeed

Physics.

I admit, it is one of my favorite subject.....

Ummm...... can anyone tell me how difficult is Form 6 physics???

Why? My lecturer just told me this morning that we will be studying the same things as form 6 physics.....

For The Almighty's sake!!! We are even using Form 6 Oxford fajar reference book as our course book...

Of course, he ask us to change all the g=9.8 to g=10.....

Why? Simple. The gravitational acceleration here at Swinburne is larger...

Again, Why? Look at the definition of gravity....Gravity is the attractive force between masses.....

well, Swinburne does have more mass than any secondary school here.......got it? mass.....

Anyway, the situation here goes like this:

We need to complete the whole form 6 physics within less than 1 year....

How? by having classes till night!!!

How is that possible?? Easy... Foundation students doesn't take hard subjects like Chemistry or Pengajian Am.... We concentrate on Physics.... each lecture is about 2 hours...... .... 

University life episode 3

Ok...... Today I am typing this during my IT lecture.....
As a matter of fact, my lecturer is talking about blogs just now.
Alright...... Now that my university life is stabilized......
Assignments is starting to come......
oh well, I guess I'll just have to finish them on time....
The one BIG different thing between Secondary school assignments(projects) and our university assignments IS.......
NO PLAGIARISM!!!
It means that we could no longer copy article that are found on Google......
We need to record every single references that we make i.e. Oxford Dictionary, Edition 3, pg 12 line 5 
We could no longer copy pictures from Google and paste it into our assignment......
and blah blah blah .........
in short, no more freedom......bound to the International Copyright  Law.......

University Life ... ...

Anyway, lets continue from my last post.....
Why have I suddenly found myself thrown into a world of endless assignments and projects???
Aha!!! Heres what really happened......
On FRIDAY......everything is still fun and games......
UNTIL...... My mom decided to bring me to Swinburne to get a LETTER of acceptance......
THEN, the nice LADY on the counter told me, : "Today is the LAST day for late enrollment..."
It turns out, the ORIENTATION has already started.....\
SO, after a brief call to dad, a green light from him and an OK from my mom,
I found myself thrown, (I'm still confused at that point.....) into this world of University Life....
I started a 3 day Orientation (starting from the second I enrolled)
Attended a Football Match (Which we lose, by 20-1 UKS 20, We, 1) as supporter......
then start class.....
OMG!!!!
The assignments!!!!!
As if the lecturers din't know I have classes till 9 p.m. on some days of the week......
By the way, just to let you readers know..... I do have class till 9p.m. depending on subject....
Aduh!!!!

University

For those who are wondering what took me so long to update my blog, I'll have to tell you this : Lots of things can happen in a period of a day. Before I knew it, here I am, at Swinburne University of Technology, sitting on the chair, waiting for my lecturer.....Oh!!! there he is ...... well got to go!!!

Doomsday??

" 11th of March Doomsday!!!!!"
This is one of the few Facebook post that caught my attention....
Doomsday? I thought that was suppose to happen at 2012....
Hmmm.... the date seems familiar though.......
Now, where have I seen that date before.......
Aha!!! 11th of March is the day our (2009 SPM Candidate's) SPM results are announced!!!!
To me, that is a good news AND a bad news

The good news is, I can finally get my results and further my studies...
The bad news is, goodbye to the long holidays........goodbye to watching TV every single day.......
goodbye to no stress...... goodbye to unlimited time for games......

Honestly, I am very anxious to get my results....
I think i performed quite well in most of the papers
except, well....the Accounting paper....
I have to admit, Accounts is not one of my fortes...
Although I am able to maintain an A+ for my account during the trials,
i'm not so sure about SPM......
The SPM paper's format seems so different from the trial papers.......

Anyway, I will still thank God for whatever results He gave me.....

Nice Background Music
