Day1 n 2
So it´s my 2nd day here, n today our robot finally pass thru the pre test, means our robot fulfilled all the requirements for the competition and we can compete in the competition tomorrow. It was really tough, faced so many problems when we arrived, eveything not working and all, still we have to work under very limited resources basically no resources, no equipments. 2 of the servo motors broke down, and we ended up resorting to only using one side instead of 2 sides for the robot. but, hehe.. WE BEAT FORMULA SAE!! hahahahha.. We´re in!!
also, despite the work and all, we had really lotsa fun here, 1st day in frankfurt, and today we tour around heidelberg, really really nice views here, nice cooling weather too. will upload the pics when i´m home most prob. and guess what? they use mercedes as taxi!!! fuck that!!
gotta run. dinner time. will update again later.

Guten Tag
Clock on my dekstop sidebar shows 5.28am. Been sleeping when the sun rose for the past few days. The morning birds chirp everytime i go to bed, birds here sing aloud too.
Was in the lab all day, hard work. Building robot is not really my interest, but it does bring u satisfaction when u c something u build from scratch start moving around on its own. Like whoa, it works!! But again, hard work.
So i'll be heading off to germany in 2 days time, for a week. N there's no way to contact me during that time, phone's off. Blog too. I am excited, but at the same time i worry for my last 3 papers really. It's gonna be shit. Just don't go worse than that will be fine.
Read sis's bloggie, saw rover's pictures. That cute doggy of mine despite his enormous size, he's like a giant baby, makes me wanna hug him and wrestle him everytime i see his pic. Miss him much. N that makes me miss home too.
I just realized i don't know a single german word. And my friend taught me this. "Guten tag" i think it's spelled like this, it means good day if not mistaken. And i just found out german is a mixture of english and malay, "my nama is Benny" this is how they introduce themselves. Nama?? Isn't that malay i thought, and tht's exactly how they say it in german for name.
Movies i've watched: After sex 2007 festival, hostel 1, august rush, yes i can c dead people n as usual few others which i forget the title.
August rush is a must watch i would say. Look at how that little boy plays the guitar is already worth the time. And i love the soundtracks too, anyone knows the titles of the songs, or can send me the songs straight would be very much appreciated.
N now, it's nearly 6am, the "allah song" is played. No offense to muslims, but yeah it sounds like a song to me, and all i can understand is the word allah, so pardon me alright?
N i just found out there's a physical limit to how much your brain can work, lets say u let it work extremely hard for a day, at most 2, u'll get headache for the following 2 days. Yeah i'm having mine for 2 consecutive days now n it doesn't seem like stopping yet, so u can guess how hard mine worked.
Time for bed i guess. Nites.

Sex and Love
Love is not negotiable.
Love is a guessing game and tht's the beauty of it, there's no guarantees. It's like diving into a pool of water without knowing if it's shallow or deep. And if it's shallow, u end up hurt and paralyzed from the neck down. but if it's deep.. u know..
It's a leap of faith. It's like throwing yourself out there without any guarantees and tht's what life's about.
U know those carnival games, right? U know how some of them are really hard to win and some of them are super easy and everyone wins. Well, it's just tht tht's the difference between love and sex. Sex is the game where everyone wins a little prize and no one goes home a loser. And love is the game that's really hard to win. But if you do, and you get to take home that life-sized stuffed rhinoceros, it feels a whole lot better than taking that shitty little plastic keychain.

Another semester flew by
Gonna sit for my 1st final paper tmr. And it's weird i dun feel like i'm going for finals, maybe finals doesn't mean anything anymore. After all, we've been going in n out of finals for god knows how many billion times now. Just another test, another question paper, answer booklet which unfortunately will decide your grades. For a whole half year of studies, it only takes 3 hours for you to prove yourself. Crazy shit.
But yeah, i think i somehow got used to the system so much so that i actually don't feel a little stress or panic at all like how i would last few semesters. Not because i am well prepared, hell no, too many formulas and diagrams and charts to be memorized and yeah i suck in memorizing, so hell no, i'm not ready, but i just don't feel nothing. Not so sure myself whether this is a good sign or a really bad one though. It may go both ways i think. But i really think i am overly relax throughout this whole semester. Having fun and enjoying life like shit. Classes, assignments and reports became secondary. The amount of classes i skipped this semester probably doubled or tripled compared to last sem. But again, life is short, so enjoy it while you can.
So my study week is over and very soon my 3rd year here will be over too. N yeah i made it this week, didn't hit the club at all. Well not because i'm good, just that i'm really broke. Anyway, forget bout the clubs, a short summary of my study week would be starbucks, movies, snooker, mamak, and beers. N i really ate a lot, like 5 meals per day? Think it's the most i've eaten since i came to utp for 3 years now. Not sure why but i get hungry really quick lately even like 2 hours after dinner or lunch. So yeah, keep eating and eating and eating and watch my bank account depreciates.
I've watched: forbidden kingdom, iron man, the rock, martian child, the great debators, love lust, and a few more which i can't recollect its title. C..I suck when it comes to my memory.
Looking forward to finishing this bloody exam so i can go home and get some rest doing wut i want to without worrying bout assignments, reports, due dates like before. And yeah, work too. Looking forward to Germany, and really hope i don't screw my last three papers when i'm back.
