truth to be told, i hate being at home with nothing to do. too free, too much time wasted doing things that has no positive impact to my future. what i should be doing at this kind of time is studying. homeworks(they are called assignments nowadays), projects, preparations, casual revisions and so on.. instead, im home. leeching off resources at home without doing anything that is worth those resources.
yes, i would very much like to go back to school. meet those familiar faces, driving to school early in the morning and hope i dont get caught up in the traffic congestion, ignoring that slow as hell elevator and take the stairs instead at school, sitting at that corner in the canteen which i have done since the beginning of sem 1(yes, that part was quite hot, but i prefer the fan instead of air-con. so please bugger off asking.), the rm2.50 hotdog bun which tasted great at the beginning and is starting to deteriorate... etc. there are just so many minute fun things at that place that makes my life normal.
too bad exam's next week. i've missed one month worth of study and if i've gone back to school last week, i doubt i can catch up. the electronics part, sure. i've learnt most of it before, but that's just one of the 4 subjects. the others(very complicated technical drawing, maths and C++), is just giving me a headache. i've tried going through them the day after i got back. they're just too much. they are things that needed proper tutoring. electronics i can blaze through, but not C++, not drawing, and certainly not maths. i suck at maths. i can do maths, but the results wont be pretty. i wont fail at least, but it wont be pretty. to get my heads just above the water is not something i have in mind, bsc the marks we get in the exam this time is counted into the marks for this semester through some i-dont-care-how calculations. if i get bad results this time, it'll screw up my final pretty good. and i dont want to end up having to retake sem 2 next time. there are a few of them who had to retake sem 1 already. i dont want to do so, plainly bsc its a waste of time and money(retake meant pay for sem 2 again. not a very pleasant thing to have since im not the one earning the money for this. also, PTPTN would be stopped.). so i've decided that as much as i hated it, i have to take my sem 2 next year. but rest assured, i'll still read through the notes(special thanks to hung phung) while im at home. guess i now know how u felt a few months back lenny. it sucks alright.
so what lately? became a software tester lol.. thanks to VirtualBox, i can test any software in an isolated virtual machine. which means i can install anything i like and it wont affect the host machine. currently, am testing TrustPort antivirus. the test in the VB went well, so i am replacing BitDefender with it. BitDef has gotten very annoying for the past few months anyway. and TrustPort has emerged to be better than BitDef in terms of detection rate(which is all that matters for an antivirus products). sure, BitDef's got a better looking GUI, but its glitchy. i hate it when bdagent.exe went rogue after i exit AVA and i have to re-login to get it fixed. i just installed TrustPort, so... i'll giv it a few days and see what happens.
also, the development team at MoDaCo has released the BETA 2 for the Android Froyo for Samsung Omnia 2. it worked great. its even faster, less bugs, GPS gets a lock on even faster than it did on Windows Mobile. there are still some minor issues nevertheless, its a beta release wad... got it ported to my phone and i am happy that i've gotten it done without any problems. head over to the website and u'll find hilarious amounts of ppl either acting smart or just being plain stupid and screwed up their phone, crying for help while the developers are frustrated at them for well.... being an idiot LOL...
these are just the stuff that occupied my time while im at home. and i realized this morning that i've been linux-ing(android is based on linux too) for a week straight. tat meant i didnt played AVA or any casual games for almost a week already. result? i got kicked outta my clan for being inactive lol.. i got kicked once, this was the 2nd time. they're some pretty serious bunch of ppl, if you cant play, they dont want you.
and YOU, get well soon. hate to know someone i know is sick and i cant do a darn thing bout it...
cya
p.s. go watch Johny English Reborn, its F-ing hilarious lol
