A Good Night

21 February 2010.

Yesterday was a good, good night. I spent one whole day with my classmates till late 2.30 am!!

Before the good night, i was on fire with my BCH lecturer, Mr Wong. I’m sure my other classmates were so angry with our lecturer. He’s suck in teaching us, but in the lab, he didn’t perform at all. All he did was just sat in front and let us to our own experiment. He should have briefed us before leaving us to do our experiment. At first, i thought maybe we are in 2^nd level and we should be more independent and he need not to brief us. Fine enough.

The problem arose when he was unable to answer our questions on the experiment. To make things worse, he gave the wrong instruction and caused much doubts in our experiment. One of our classmates (Hafizat), hit the table to show her anger as our lecturer gave the wrong procedure. Worse still, he didn’t even know how to operate a spectrophotometer!! Ok, maybe that machine was new to him, but he could have learnt how to use it or at least refer to our lab manual. I refer to the lab manual and i taught other my friends how to use it. See i can become lecturer also... oh, did i mention the experiment i did was the same with other class which they had their lab class few days before us? Which that means the lecturer held the same experiment with other class and he gave the wrong procedure? I seriously wonder what he did in the lab loh... And what the heck did the student in other class do? They baiknya follow what he said even though it was wrong?

He had given me bad time in his lecture class but i keep cool. Not until the lab class where he not even prepare himself with the procedure. At times we needed to correct him. He as a lecturer uttered “i just learn from your friend” to my friends showed he didn’t know anything before we taught him. All i could say is life’s a learning process. He learn something from the lecturer and the lecturer learn something from us, student..

Immediately after the lab, all of us, if not most of us, were very angry with him. It was like DSCAU students were on fire. I really can’t be patient with this kind of guy anymore. And he planned to take revenge on me and my other friends? Mr Lim warned us on Wednesday that Mr Wong had the thought of taking revenge on those who make noise in his class, who was me. Mr Lim said he is a biased lecturer whereby he would purposely give low marks to students he dislike. We decided not to make noise and pretend to be friendly with him.

Now, how can i pretend to be friendly and respect with him while he has nothing for me to respect him? Maybe he’s unable to deliver his BCH knowledge to us but in his GEN subject he has no problem. Fine. As of BCH, this is the first time he teaches this subject.

We went ga-ga and wanted to talk or complaint to the dean, Dr Ang. After much consideration with other classmates, we opt to softer way by talking to Mr Wong. Hopefully we could see his change for better.

Don’t want to talk about him anymore. Let’s talk about my much afraid dinnertime. We consulted Ms See and also complaining with her abt Mr Wong. We talked so long until dinnertime. She ajak us for dinner together with Mr Lim. We had dinner at Auntie Jenny. My first visit in this semester.

After dinner we met at block H common room to discuss with other program classmates while finishing Yan Jun’s birthday card. My card was the most plain as others decorated so nice. After finishing the card at around 12.30 am, we walked to Yan Jun’s apartment and gave him a surprise!! I think he was touched. Had supper at al-salam till 2 in the morning. Reached my room at 2.30, shower, and brush my teeth. Slept at 3 am.

A good night indeed. Early in the morning, my radio played Black Eyed Pea’s “I Gotta Feeling” song. See, my night also good...

Irritated

I’m so fucking irritated right now!!! Sorry my language.

This is another no-eye-see event. Yar those event made me irritated due to unfairness. This time involved my MCB lecturer (again). I think most my no-eye-see will involve him lo...

He’s so unprofessional.

Last Friday my friend (that friend) absent for the lab. He skipped the lad because on that same day we had our test and obviously he didn’t get much sleep the night before. Every time also like this. This is not the right way to study lo. Sleep is so important though last time i didn’t appreciate it.

The problem is this time the lab class is the continuing of previous lab class. That means we have to present for both labs, if not how are going to get the result? Technically this time his marks for report should be halved. I know this because another girl also similar case with him but her report marks will be halved. My lecturer told her one. I heard over their conversation so i know la.

Then just now in the lab, my lecturer talked to him softly and i happen to heard what they were talking la. If i’m not wrong, i think my lecturer was telling my friend that he will not count my friend as absent so no need to minus 50% mark.

You see, where can like this one!!! It so unprofessional and unethical!! I mean why that poor girl has to be punished but not my friend? I mean you have to be responsible for whatever you do mah. Just because of the test and you slept late last night, that doesn’t mean you will be free from any punishment. No matter whatsoever reason of your absentee, the lecturer should not apologies him. Instead, you have to tell him this is wrong and ask him not to do that again. He must have talk to him whether he will minus mark or not la?

I may sound cruel or heartless; like i don’t want to help my friend but side another person. No! As a lecturer, you must be fair to all people mah... worst still, he some say he’s very professional type. Anything said outside of class won’t affect out test marks. Yarlah you thought i will believe you ar?

My friend very close with this lecturer. Or i should say he’s very close with almost all lecturers except those lecturers that don’t want to be close one which i think it supposed to be that way. Lecturer should not be too close with students else the students will “climb over” lecturers’ head. Friendly doesn’t need to be close.

Is this life? I mean is this the kind of advantage if you have good connection with anybody. I guess so. It so obvious that this lecturer more sayang him than others. I’m so like jealous of him. May be i do. This is not the first time he clearly offence the rule as a lecturer. There was one time my same friend went home in conjunction of Hari Raya on Friday morning because no more ticket. He asked permission if he could join another course’s lab class to replace the Friday lab. Of course my lecturer gave his permission. See, again. We, students, are not allowed to replace our lab class!! This is unethical and unprofessional as a lecturer.

Or maybe i can’t blame my friend, and my lecturer. All i can blame is myself. Who ask me not wanting to be close with my lecturer? Who ask me not chak hai with him? It’s my entire fault, i guess.

But one thing for sure this time is my lecturer’s action is unprofessional, unethical, unacceptable and whatever “un”.

Mid-Autumn Festival Part 2

Continuing the Mid-Autumn Party.

Even before the party started, i still regret inside me. Whenever i looked at the clock, i would tell myself: at this time i should be at where and doing what at home! I was abit regret on staying back even when the party started. But there was no point for me to regret actually as i already there. What i can do was enjoying the party and gave them a bang la.

Yes,i did enjoy the whole party truly.

First, starting the fire was really not an easy task. We, the guys in charge the fire while the girls in charge washing the fish balls, prawn balls, squid balls and whatever balls la. The funny about my friend, TPing was he used the old and leftover charcoal while we have the new and good charcoal. He even took some charcoal from the dustbin! OMG!!

There were some events that i really have no eye see. One of the events was when starting up the fire. I never really involved in starting up barbecue fire before when i BBQ with my family. Usually my brother and kuku will do for us. And being the youngest one in the family, i hardly need to do anything. And starting up fire is not easy task, ok. That’s why my mum dislikes the idea of barbecuing.

While we fanning the charcoal, there will be some hot ashes flying up. So the ash fell on unfortunate YSing’s finger. I felt he’s so weak lo. Hey, not only he got burnt from that charcoal la. My finger also burnt abit. Others also got la. Just that his case was a bit more serious and he made hu-ha­ like that. He so like sow.

Fine. Then move on to another person, my lecturer. Yes my lecturer joined us too. He’s my MCB lecturer la. At that night, he was useless guy lo. He didn’t even help us in starting up the fire. Want to eat also take other people’s food. Just that he’s our lecturer and we want to jaga our test marks, we have to give in. We have to like bodek him. He brought along with his gf.

I have to be honest, his gf look so old with him. The reason because she 2 years older than him and my lecturer has baby face some more. When you see also know she’s older. They don’t make a cute and sweet lovely couple lo. This is my own opinion la. I can’t feel nor see the sweetness between them lo.

His gf has this strong accent of Mandarin which irritates my ear so much. She’s buatan Malaysia not buatan china. Say me prejudice to him or what la, i don’t know how they can be together lo. He can talk dirty things in front of my girls’ friend and his gf. He doesn’t feel paiseh to talk about that matter meh? That’s why i hate girls. They are so cheap!!!

After barbecuing, it’s lantern time! The girls wanted to walk one big round at my uni but walk halfway already tired. The funny thing was we were all carrying lantern and walk at my hostel. So paiseh. Surely many people saw us one.

Luckily i didn’t miss it. We talked, played fire and so on. Our friendship between me and they all are closer after this party i think. But when we are too close, i will step back one. Why am i building a great wall between me and them? Heaven knows the answer la.

Wasting candles... but this is nice though..

I really enjoy that night and had a good memory.

Guardian Angel

A joke to share with you all. This joke is from my CHM lecturer. Here it goes.

One day, Ah Beng (he likes to call everyone ah beng and ah lian) was walking at a small junction. Then suddenly a voice appears!

Voice: Ah Beng, stop! Don’t walk forward! There’s a fallen vase ahead.

So, Ah Beng stop. The voice was right. A vase fell down just right in front of Ah Beng.

Ah Beng thought he’s lucky. He continue walking. Then again, the voice appears.

Voice: Ah Beng, stop! A car gonna run over you!

Ah Beng stop and a car drive away in front of him!!

Ah Beng: Who are you? (referring to the voice)

Voice: I’m your guardian angel.

Ah Beng: Why didn’t you appear at my wedding registration?

Immediately after the lecturer finished the sentence, i laughed out loud. Haha... Not many people laughed cause i think they don’t get his drift.

Quite funny, i would say. This is not an obvious joke. Need to think a little to get the meaning.

Second Semester

I hate this semester’s timetable. I don’t like the arrangement. For example, today i have 6 hours break following 2 hours of lab class.

Besides that, i also don’t like my lecturers. I’m so contradicting to what i said last semester. Last semester i said: how nice this lecturer be more generous, giving tips like that. But this semester my MCB lecturer so kind and generous that he said he will give tips. And in his class, we are not like Ms See, we are free to ‘shoot’ him and talk with my friends.

This lecturer is friendly. In fact, he is more than friendly as a lecturer. I mean as a lecturer, you should have this ‘line’ between you and your students. And you should know what to say and what not to say. So, he really mess up this whole system. My so-called system. I will say this is unprofessional. He even calls himself a professional clown. Meaning, he will be hehe-haha face even though he is not happy with students. How can a lecturer say like this? I won’t respect him as a lecturer but as a human, i will la. Seeing him was like seeing Nick, my physics lecturer in A levels.. In his class, i don’t feel tension or pressure like in Ms See’s class. I was so relax in his class. What i scare is if i relax, relax until i remember what he said and my result deteriorate!! I am always like this. Need someone to be strict with me then i will scare and will really really study. Till now i still haven’t start studying nor have the mood to study. Haiz. Worst still, this sem is short sem, 7 weeks studying only. Now already second week and it’s almost the half of this sem. My test 1 is end of this month and my quiz 1 is around the corner too. Die la!!!

That’s my MCB lecturer. Move on to my CHM lecturer. Even worst. He is so bian tai. Why? In his 40s and still talking about pornography and ‘yellow’ jokes. So bian tai. I wonder how my friend survive in this class last sem? But he is good lecturer. Has a doctorate. He likes to name people. He even called me 4-eye-guy, sei gan zai. In his class, laughter is always. He will keep on telling us jokes and sometimes i can’t catch his drift. We all ended up laughing for no apparent reason. May be he is Dr., his standard also very high. He teaches very fast. I can’t cope with him la. May be this is CHM 2, so the level also rise, and the way we do questions also need to upgrade.

I think i will be depressed if i still continue with this kind of lecturer. I worried like hell. I can’t cope with my studies. Besides that, there are other factors that lead me to this situation. I will be thanking God if i make through this semester with good grades like last sem. *crossing my finger* hopefully i will make through this sem.

I think i have this syndrome of depression. Whatever i am thinking is negative!! OMG!!!

New Semester, again...

I had the same feeling when i first step in here. I seem to be a stranger in this place after living here for about 4 months. I just reached Nilai.

But things were different. I’m now in second semester and got a lot of work waiting for me. I’m gonna drawn with the workload, assignment and reports. Hopefully i will survive and overcome all these obstacles. I should be.

Actually my class started today morning with CHM 2 but skipped. I don’t know why i have this lazy to study. I’m still in the mood of holiday. I miss Aidan, though he can be noisy at times. He has high pitch like Mariah Carey. But one thing for sure is that i miss him. Aidan is my sister’s newborn baby, which is also my nephew.

I checked my intionline account and my CHM lecturer already uploaded assignment and quiz. He even uploaded the schedule for this semester! So fast telling us what to do edi? OMG!! Cannot tahan this kind of lecturer. Haiz. But in the same time, i got thoughts of him too. He might be a hunk? He might be a cutie? He might be gay!! OMG!! What am i thinking? This is crazy, outrages and insane!! After all, i think he just a hag. An uncle, maybe. Cannot be as cute and funny as Mr Yeap.

Tomorrow is got MCB 2 class. Again, i will skip. Hey others also skipping, so i merely follow the majority and skip that class for heaven sake. He sent us a notice saying: hope to see us tomorrow and most importantly, NEVER MISS THE FIRST AND LAST CLASS!!”. Bwhahahaaha.. i will skip his class!! Blek~~~
