Hello hello!

I paid Sunway College a visit today ... it was so nostalgic :) I went to meet up with the Student Services department to discuss about the competition we're organising. This place really brings back a lot of memories. I really miss being here. The cafeteria now looks more like a cafeteria, the whole college is wifi-enabled, the finance department where you pay your semester fees has those numbering system like the bank!! FUAHHHHH ... so canggih already. The student services department looks a lot more spacious now ... I think they renovated it. The room where our Leo club use to meet, is now a little store selling merchandise.

I was thinking of exploring the place a little bit, but I was rushing to get back to office, sigh. I doubt any of my lecturers are around anymore, well, maybe one or two ... and they aren't exactly MY FAVOURITE one. So, no need la ... pay them a visit for what? Didn't really help me much with my studies. Lousy fellas. The only lecturer that really taught me well was Pranit, a Fijian of Indian descent. Now, he was cool. Talks in a weird accent, but still, very cool. I enjoyed most of his classes, he taught me Network Engineering and Project Management during our final year. He was my finally year project supervisor as well. See, when you have an awesome lecturer, you get awesome students ... like me :P I scored the highest for Project Management and highest for my final year project that year. The trophies now sit nicely in my room ... collecting dust. Speaking about Pranit, I got in contact with him early this year ... after so so long. He's teaching in Australia now :) I miss college life. There's so much I want to do now. I think I missed out on a lot of fun ... working life sometimes isn't as fun. Gosh ... the thrill of having an exam! Hahaha ... I bet I can score :)

Sadly enough, I haven't been in touch with any of my college mates except for a few like Becky and Wern Shen, while the rest either have dropped off the face of the Earth or maybe busy doing their own things. I didn't have much friends back in college too. I don't know why. Perhaps I had a prejudice against people that we're keen on studying or maybe I'm just too picky with who I hung around with or maybe ... I'm just shy and really slow at warming up to new people. I still have that problem after all these years. It's a personality trait I suppose.

Speaking of lecturers earlier on, there was one that I've never liked. A woman on a power trip. She treats the class as if we were still in school. There was once when the department organised an event, some IT week and the response was rather lacklustre. She marched into the class while another lecturer was teaching and we were still ... well, on our seats. We were asked to stand on our feet and she 'interrogated' everyone. Those that gave a valid reason were asked to seat. ANNNNDDDD .... quite a few of us remained standing. Stupid right? Think what? Still in school issit? Lecturers really need to be careful of what they say. This particular woman once told the class that Multimedia and Design students won't be able to make in the working world. At that time, I was contemplating to major multimedia ... upon hearing that, I took Computing and Information Systems instead. While I did well, but it didn't save me the trouble of my working life. I did programming for a year, I hated it so much. Somehow, you can never run away from passion ... if you always had a talent in the creative field, eventually you'll end up in it. That's where I am now. My mistake was to listen to her. I am sore about it, still am. If there's an opportunity for me to go back there and reeducate these students, I really would. Lecturers need to mind their words. Sometimes there are students that do listen to what you have to say. Miss Shirley, you suck.

On a happier note, TGIF is gonna be opening soon downstairs! For some strange reason, I don't know why I'm happy about it, but I am. At least now, if anyone wants to catch up over dinner ... I don't have to drive, all I need to do is to slyly suggest them to drive here instead! I can't wait!

This week is the Raya week. Empty city. What better time to raid KL. Wait, why do I need to do that? There's nothing to do in KL :( I wonder who's free to hang out ... or I could just spend my time playing Warhammer Online. Now, that's quite productive right? Too bad Friday is a working day, maybe I'll from home? Gonna play by ear.

This coming Wednesday is my Mom's birthday. My sister will be taking her out for breakfast and the movie ... coz she won't be around at night. Bleh. Anyways, planning to take my mom out for dinner at San Fransisco Cafe nearby. Just the other, she was asking me how to increase the volume on YouTube. I was like ... what are you doing in YouTube? Since when were you visiting YouTube? And then ... yesterday morning, she said she's not too old for Facebook ... and wants to have a Facebook account. Arghhh ... there goes the online privacy. It will be so weird to have your own mother in the friend list. Eh ... not private anymore la .... :\
