[tony the tiger]

It is great to see true democracy being practiced here in Australia during the federal election. An eye opener, witnessing how the whole thing unfolds. Things that are touted as democracy, power of the masses, freedom of the media, this is how democracy should be practiced. Not just being uttered as a word by some stuttering incompetent minister. I love history and Malaysia's history is no less interesting than the history of the western civilisation. However, looking back in time made me wonder where did we go wrong?



On a lighter note, post broken ankle syndrome made me gain nearly 10 kgs. Egad!

[real men wear tights]

So many things to do yet so little time. "Oh dear, oh dear. I shall be late." Feeling more and more like the White Rabbit. Yes, that White Rabbit. Or perhaps like the sleepy dormouse, telling stories about the 3 sisters living on treacle. Now, I'm not making sense.


Guess what? I've got a fever. The only prescription is more cowbells.

[sendu di hatimu, rindu di hatiku]

now that the exams is over, my hair can start growing back. It starts to fall off at an alarming rate when SWOT vac starts, linearly for first paper by the time the last paper got round, it was falling off by the handful. I can even feel my scalp with distant ringing of somebody calling me Kojak.

[1: cut a hole in a box]

AAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh. That is a long sigh of relief for those of you having trouble reading onomatopoeic words. Been running on adrenaline for the past couple of hours.



Just finished my last paper. Can't tell how relieved I am right now. Electromagnetism and Relativity (Advanced) is one hell of a subject. Electromagnetism that is taught is first year seems like kindie. 90% of the lectures presented, you won't understand a thing. When you get back home, you tried to revise what in the earth is the lecturer talking about, it's hopeless. Divergence and curls make the world go around, wrong. It turned my world upside down. When you get to SWOT vac, you try again but still to no avail. 2 days before the exams and your failure is imminent if you do not act. You turn to past year exams and start remembering how to do the question. I personally hate rote learning, but desperate times calls for desperate measures.



After subuh today, I pored over the solutions for the hundredth time hoping that it will stick. Hope is a double edged sword. After breakfast and 2 stronger than usual cups of coffee, I started to have panic attacks. The butterflies in my stomach started to turn violent, flapping their wings ferociously. They might have turned into lizards. I was scared shitless. That was only a figure of speech as I went in and out of the bathroom 5 times in about 10 minutes.



Come 830 I was ready to leave the house, promised to meet a friend. I had already walked for about 400m before I realised i did not bring along my calculator and pens. Brilliant, just brilliant. Ran back, no more strolling to the REB, met Rob, tried to get ourselves psyched, tell a few lame jokes, curse everything at large (he did most of the cursing, he's an expert) , went in the hall, did the exams, BANG, done, finished, let's get the hell out of here.



Looking back, the exams wasn't so bad. If we were given 8 hours and be allowed to bring in the notes, books and even a tutor, I'm pretty sure H1 is not out of reach. Alas, it was not to be.



Lame joke of the day:
Idiot: So, what's your plan after this?
Jeenyus: Perhaps doing the part before part B?
Idiot: What is before part B?
Jeenyus: Partaayy.

A bunch of baloney.

[preamble]

all work and no play makes Zahidi a dull boy. not that he is very fun to begin with, no love lost there.



With only two hours of sleep, our protagonist bravely steps out of the door to face the evil that is Maths Method. A foul beast that is relentless in asking nonsensical questions. However, a more foul rancour lies ahead, Electromagnetism. Why oh why Maxwell? Not in my wildest dream should I say this but Special Relativity is easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Anyone wanting to learn how to change frame of reference with relative (pun?) ease, consult Mansur. He's the Maestro.

[are you taking a survey?]

to keep myself from wandering around the internet for too long, i have pulled the network cord connected to my computer. but why am i still here? blame it on the wi-fi. to pull out the wi-fi card would be too much of a hassle, i'll just try and discipline myself not to use the net. considering this, i'll start tomorrow. i love procrastination, we've been through a lot together.
