Physics II oh physics II

I didn't really understand what my lecturer was teaching so far. He has been covered 4 chapters so far. It was not because his teaching method was not good, it was because i was the one who didn't really pay full attention during the lecture. 

First quiz, i really screwed, not one or two marks, was more than 3 marks out of 10 marks.

I can't hate physics 2, i have to love it. However, i found out that it isn't my cup of tea. I neither like nor dislike it. I love programming more. Majoring in electrical engineering makes me wonder whether i have chosen the right path or not?

After this post, i would like to start working on my physics 2. I want to score it. I have been doing nothing since yesterday. I went shopping yesterday and today, i have been sleeping for the whole day.

Random thoughts

Calculus 3 students are having their test 1 today. I had had mine last semester. It was traumatized. I didn't score well. I am disappointed with myself as i almost forget all the things i learned in Calculus 3. I was assisting someone to prepare for her test, but frankly speaking, i didn't help much. She was not even need my help. Haha. She is good enough to study by her own. Calculus 3, one of the my favorite subjects although i didn't score well. I like it very much especially the last 2 chapters. Suddenly, i felt regret for selling my calculus textbook. In facts, i need it for my physics 2. Anyone else especially biotech students haven't sold their books? "sell to me"

I scored 24/25 for my C++ first quiz. I was not really happy with the results. Supposedly, i can score full mark but i did mistake for the theory question. I changed my answer in the last minute. Accuses are always accuses. Full stop to C++.

Technical writing, i will be in the same group with Zi Rui, Tung Lun and Littech. For both empirical report and website designing. Hopefully, we can score well for this subject. Email memo, next task!

Literature, i am still the "senyap" one in the class. I rarely spoke out. I finished reading my term paper novel as well as the color purple and of mice and men. Next two week, there will be a quiz about of mice and men. I do hope i will score well. I will reread it tonight or tomorrow. Comprehension.

CTES, my group volunteered to present first, but we failed. Red light. My group will present on 10 February, the day before Literature quiz 1. Next week, the class will be very bored without those were always speaking out their points. They are going to KL to hear a talk. About 10 people of literature class.Hopefully, the class will be cancelled.

I feel sleepy dy.. Napping... Nights..

Mr.C++ (I love him but he didn't love me)

I love C++ doesn't mean i can score well for it.

Quiz 1 made me realized that i am "weak" in theories again.

I want to score it but i had found out mistakes that i have done after the quiz. It did make me feel sad for awhile.

However, I don't feel anything like i failed to score well for calculus quiz although i just maybe lost 1 or 2 marks only. I felt nothing today.

The second quiz of the year 2010 was over.

I am looking forward for next quizzes.

For next and next quizzes, i will try to score well but i won't blame myself for not scoring full mark.

This semester i shall not be under pressure. I want to see the differences between studying to meet expectations and studying for knowledge.

This semester, i am studying for knowledge. I am not mind for any mistakes done so far. I am a normal human beings. I want to master a subject and not to score a subject.

Scoring doesn't mean mastering.

I have a totally different mindset this semester.

C++, i love it to the max!

Pessimistic Mindset Again

I'm a pessimistic person. I admit that.
I'm a Kiasu person. Yea, I am.
This semester i am taking C++ and physics 2 which i hope i can score A for both subjects. As for Technical Writing, Literature and Contemporary Legal issues, i do hope i can score well for these subjects but i won't blame myself if i didn't manage to score well.
Besides, for this semester, i hope that i can maintain my GCPA.

I think i didn't start this semester with good motivation and spirits. First quiz of spring 2010 which for me is a dilemma and traumatized. From there, i realized that without deep understanding, i can't score well. Thus, from that moment, i made a promise to myself - I want to revise back everything. Practice makes perfect.

Next week, i will have the second quiz of spring 2010 which is C++ quiz 1, i want to score it. Thus, this weekend, i will make sure i understand everything for first 2 chapters.
Sometimes, i might aim higher than my own ability. I am not a genius, i am just a normal human being that can make mistakes anytime. However, i would blame myself for the mistakes made. For me, silly and stupid mistakes should not appear in my life. It seems very unskilled and it would be the stupid accuse for not scoring well.

Okay, i got to go!

Traumatized Physics Quiz

Physics 2 isn't like Physics 1.
Frankly speaking, i have to admit that although i score A for physics 1, i didn't really have a strong basic about it.
Should i say it was luck?
Quiz 1 was testing on our understanding and not our skills to answer the question. 
Thus, the lesson learned from that quiz is:
"It was useless to be an expert in playing with formula if you didn't understand the basic concept of a theory!"

Weekend = Doing Nothing

Pokai is one of reason i chose to stay at hostel.
My friends are busy is another valid reason that i chose not to go out this weekend.
Lazy is my third reason why i'm here doing nothing.
the list goes on to infinity!

Seriously, i have done nothing this weekend.

I haven't brought clothes for the coming CNY.

I haven't started to do my assignments for every single subject.

Feeling so weird why i am changing to another PSL.

However, my attitude and behaviors have never ever changed.

I do hope i become more hardworking.
I do hope i have a decisive aim.
I do hope i can stick to one decision.

"Hectic" Semester

My timetable for this semester is not packed. I have no classes at all in Friday. However, i consider the subjects taken this semester is quite hard to handle especially Literature. I know my own weakness which is language. Literature is all about language. I have finished reading the color purple by Alice Walker and of mice and men one week ago. Now, i am reading Saint Maybe by anne tyler. Read, read, and read. That's what i am supposed to do for literature class. I'm quite disappointed  by my own performance in Literature class, i am damn "passive".I seldom voiced out my opinion. The truth was i didn't really understand what the short stories that we had read so far especially dry september.  I really hope i will be able to understand the coming short stories and brave to talk. Omg..

For other subjects, so far so good.. Just for the contemporary legal issues, we have selected our topic but we are facing problem to find the agreements (the black and white). I am same group with yc, kj and xr again for ctes assignment. We did pretty well for the presentation and term paper last semester. It was my own problem for not scoring well for my final grade. Yea, i screwed up my final paper. Thanks guys, hope we will do better this semester.

While for technical writing and C++, i hope i can perform well. That's all i wanted to say.

Lastly, physics 2, the most important subject for my major. All about electricity, can i get at least A for this subject? i really hope i can! i haven't started to do revision but i will do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

You guys must say my life here is damn hectic without outings and everything. Yea, i admit it for this semester, i probably won't have time to buy clothes for coming CNY. i have informed my mum. She will try to buy some clothes for me first.

I went to Kinokuniya last sunday, i went alone after my C++ class. It was kinda fun. I enjoyed it. I went there to pay for my reserved book, Saint Maybe. Well, nobody knew it i went to kinokuniya because i managed to come back to hostel before 7, the time to eat dinner. Haha. I bought Mexican Buns from Roti Boy, i like it very much especially it just comes out from "ketuhar"! haha.

What else has i done last week? Nothing much.
This weekend i might do nothing as everyone is busy with their own uni's app.
THAT'S all first.. i am not in the mood of blogging, just simply update it!

Second Day of 2010

I slept at 3 in the morning today. About 8 in the morning, i wake up and then we took our breakfast in a restaurant near my aunt's house. After that, my parents and I started our journey to Shah Alam. We arrived my Hostel half an hour later. Ausmat Block will be renovated. It can be considered as a good news to the future residents of Akasia College but a bad news for us especially ATU 15's girls. This is because that block just located next to our block.

First Day of 2010

I slept at 4 in the morning and woke up at 11 in the morning.
My parents were chatting with my aunt's foster child in the morning before his friend come and fetch him to Raub. My aunt has gone to Malacca at 5 in the morning. Both of them, my aunt and her foster son are busy with their charity works. My aunt will come back tonight. However, i didn't know about her foster son's schedule. Yesterday's night was first time i met him. Frankly speaking, i wasn't close with relatives of my dad's side. My dad have 7 siblings including himself. My dad has a twin brother who has 3 or 4 children. Besides, my grandma and grandpa married twice. The family tree is so complicated. Both my paternal grandma and grandpa have passed away. I just knew my grandpa as my grandma has passed away before the day i came to this world. I was close with my cousins when my grandpa was still alive 5 or 6 years ago. Now, everything has changed. Basically, we just met each other during CNY. I met my aunt at KL more often than other relatives of my dad's side. However, I just met her when my parents came to KL.  


After having breakfast(Wan Tan Mee), I changed my clothes and we went to Jaya Jusco Kepong which is just at the back of my aunt's neighborhood. We bought clothes, begs and food. I bought 1 T-shirt and 1 long pant. After shopping session, my mum suggested to eat vege food. Veggie food at Kepong didn't cost much. Normal price RM2 per dish. Today, free of charge! However, i didn't finish the food, i felt like vomiting. Maybe, i haven't suit myself to eat veggie food. There were a lot of customers there. By looking at their face expression, the food tasted nice to them. 


After that, I'here doing nothing. That's how i spent my first day of 2010.
