Woah... that's an amazing week...
So... got back on Monday, and checked my mail... and guess what?? my state ID's here... woohoo... (reads no need to bring my passport to get drinks and all)... other than that... nothing much really..
on Tuesday... work, got my packages from Tourism Malaysia, containing Waus and many other hand crafts for the SEA Night exhibition this Saturday... on top of that... classes... got back Econ 406 midterm 2 result, not too bad...more studying for the midterm tmr...
on Wed... work, Midterm... thanks to whoever/whatever, my midterm time was shortened by twenty minutes... we were only given 60 minutes to complete the 80 minutes exam... why?
exam scheduled to start at 1.10pm...
1.10pm: the fire alarm was triggered
1.11pm: everybody left the exam hall and waited outside in the cold
1.25pm: the fire alarm was fixed and we got back into the exam hall
1.30pm: we were given the exam and was told that :" alright guys, you guys just have to write faster." wtf... that's not fair...
as there was another class who was having the same exam in a different building, the professor promised that he will adjust the score if there's difference in the mean between the two classes. WTF... that's not fair at all... with a huge class like this, the mean wouldn't be making much a difference... and scoring at mean is not what i'm aiming for, so, adjusting it accordingly would not justify the 20 minutes lost time... and I did not so good in my first midterm, and I studied much more for this midterm, and getting screwed in such a way is just effing unjust... and damn... i'm such a whiner... most probably will be getting back the paper next Thurs... so, hopefully it's better than I expect... i really need to bump up my scores in this course...
later that night... i started my foam board decoration thing for the event on Saturday... thanks to a bunch of freshies and ChiaChye, Lili and Shi Ting for their help too... and Wei Heong... really appreciate it...
Thurs... work, class and quiz, and class... the 2nd class was the worst class ever... becoz the professor was away, and the GSI was teaching... not that he was a bad teacher... but the material + his voice + his pacing around the class + his examples make a perfect recipe of putting students to sleep... even with Mountain Dew (R)... i couldn't help but to doze off every so often...
went back to my room.. and did nothing much... rested for awhile... and then, in the evening, went meeting... and got back to my room about 7pm... had grilled swiss + ham sandwiches for dinner... and was really tired... hung around doing nothing... and then, started working on the poster board again...
on Friday... work, class, only went for one, and skipped the other because it was gonna be discussing on the exam... which i don't really have questions abt... and it was the same boring GSI again...:) so, i actually only attended 20 minutes of class for the entire day... went back, did a design for the banner, but didn't really use it in the end because it was too time consuming to spray several layers of paint... at 6pm, I went to East Hall and started on decoration work...
tied up flowers, drew national flowers, painted banner... and got back to my room at about 12midnight... went to Ashleys with Quang to get some really good beer there... and food too... (i skipped dinner...) i had a beer flight... and was given another beer accidentally... so, had more beers than I anticipated... the beer flight was a sampler of 4 beers.. i ordered lager... and was given
1)Stelle Artois(R)
2) Sam Adams(R).. and 2 others which I forgot their names...
and the one given to me by accident: Edmund Fitzgerald Porter(R) was really good too...
got back at about 2am...
Saturday... D-day... woke up at about 9.30am.. brushed up and all, and got to East Hall at 10am... and started the final works on the foam board... thanks Lili, Ching Yi and Khoon Yu for their help again... and then, did more stuffs like setting up the tables, and also hanging up flags at the auditorium... and damn.. it was pretty scary to stand on the top step of the ladder... and i did it like so many times... phewwww.... also, many thanks to Putt... and last but not least, Dane for transporting my stuffs from my room to East Hall... at about noon... after that, we also managed to make quite a number of goodie bags (with brochures and all from Tourism Malaysia)... and also, hanging up the banner(more like sticking it up with a lot of tapes...) and then, we are practically done with all that at about 3pm... went back to my room to get my laptop and banners for and changed into Batik for the event... went back to East Hall at 4.30pm... set up the final banners and also sticked up some posters at the food stalls... and set up my laptop for the sweepstakes too... and we were all set... and ready for visitors...
at 5.30pm... ppl rushed the foodstalls, with Malaysian food selling so well, that it ran out so fast... that I couldn't even get a plate of Nasi Lemak... the exhibition went pretty well too... after about an hour and a half later... at about 7pm, the crowd settled down in the auditorium for the performances, and that's when I can slack off and go get food... and i bought Beef Rendang from Indonesia stall, and grab a bunch of anchovies, and fried peanuts and some sambal to make my own nasi lemak plate... had a curry puff, and another spring roll... and 1 air bandung, and 1 air longan... that's a pretty good meal... and my stomach was finally smiling, after all the torturing it had the previous 2 days...(skipping meals and all)...
it went alright and I started tearing down the booth at 9, with the help from Chia Chye and Lili... and then, I'm almost done at about 10.30pm... and thanks to Dane again, for sending my stuffs and I back to my room... went out to party at about 11.30pm... went to Zach's place, with his friends and also our buddy Mike there... and there, I played some games... dice and beer pong... and then, we hung out and kept playing and drinking til 5.00am... then, we were all sober, and proceeded to support our friends at Dance Marathon... (a charity event where dancers need to get $250 sponsors, and on top of that, stand for 30 hours)... there, we played some games... and danced for awhile... and as the day got brighter... i took a long walked home... (the thing was held at South Campus, and I stayed at Hill Area, which is about 30 minutes away...) on the long long walk back to my room, I called home, and chatted for about 20 minutes... and then, finally, got back to my room at about 7.20am... brushed up and went to bed at about 7.30am...
wtf... that's my very first all nighter of college... and I spent it partying... lol... well... i'm just that kinda person... work hard, study hard, play hard... party hard... and ______ hard too... u go figure...
woke up at about 2pm... and attended a meeting at 3pm... got back at about 4... watched college bball til 5 something... had dinner... and then, came back and watched more bball... and did some school work at til 9pm... family guy(R) is on... did everything else but studying after that... and updated my blog (still updating now)... and went to bed at about 1.45am...
lol... my crazy week...
