How is everybody. I am good. Seria is beautiful. Once i saw the things at work, i realise Brunei faces bigger problems that the ones i’m ranting about. hence, why i have been pretty quiet since.
A lot have also been wondering how i did on my technical paper. I got sponsorship to go to perth to present it and i got third Not bad. =)
I just had a meeting with the supervisor. I know he’s a stressful man, spending nearly 12 hours a day doing work at school. Yet, i’m very surprised at how he’s able to keep calm and handle things with smiles and laughter. Salute to such professionalism but i couldnt help but wonder is theres another side to academia talk..
Me: “Afternoon there”
s/v: “Oh hi Airul! how are you?”
(Jesus Christ… it’s you again..)
Me: “Good, thanks. How about yourself? Ohh! nice new laptop!”
s/v: “Yea.. they gave me a new laptop. Ok, ready for your update?”
(I wanted a Macbook pro but the bloody school took 99% out of my $200k grant… show me your work, i got important things to do, like painting my cats nails)
[and so... i did an update session with the supervisor]
s/v: “*short silence* ..haaa…interesting..”
(…Holy shit…)
[Further questionings and answer]
s/v: “Have you considered trying to apply this scenario to see if it works?”
(You forgot to do this scenario, you dickhead)
s/v: “Well… you’re leaving in a month, right? so we really need to find at least one scenario where this application is ideal for it..”
(Boy, you got pull out of some miraculous shit out of your ass within a month, or we are fucked)

Finally, decent holiday
I hung out with my 3rd year juniors at a very busy (and noisy) restaurant. There, they had a massive plasma screen tv and CSI was on. But they don’t really turn up the volume or the volume would be inaudible.
What’s the point?
I hate it when they also put on the music video channel but the speakers in the restaurant pump out different music than what is shown on the tv.
It’s one of those things where i feel like i it’s such a waste of time. At the same time, you can’t help staring at the tv because it just grabs the my attention. Figuring out the plot for CSI just from the actions feels like a stupid thing to do.
I started the first day with German classes on the whole day. I got to say that German is a very interesting language. It doesn’t sound as flamboyant or smooth as French but the words are a lot more closely related to English. (This is because English, German, Dutch and other Scandanavian languages belong to the Germanic English family, just found that out..). Anyway, i’m not gonna rant about the history of the language.
I took another language course because a lot of girls take languages. I remembered French class were just overflowing with women, most of them brunettes. German didn’t disappoint either and strangely enough a lot of the female students were blonde. Coolies.
What i also notice was the German student crowd are also full of wankers. I mean, it was only the first lecture, then this student (presumably a first year cause he looks like an absolute dickhead), actually argued with the professor about why english and german languages belong the same family. First of all, wtf? Why are you here then, die spacken?
I don’t know why, but in a language classes, there’s also at least one over enthusiastic mature butch (yes, butch) who say unnecessary things in an attempt to help out the lecturer but ends up slowing down the class anyway. One of the most memorable ones from last year:
Lecturer: “To do more reading in French, i suggest you go to the Le Monde website and read the news there, i will show it to you”
*types in http://lemonde.fr on the browser and some butch interrupts*
Butch: “Prof, i think it’s suppose to be http://www.lemonde.fr”
Lecturer: “Really, it’s okay, i think it’s the same anyway”
Butch: ” ’cause it’s the world wide web, you see, hence, why you should put www in it”
she ends up explaining to the lecturer how to enter the www in the web browser
oh my god, some should’ve shot her at that instant..
This morning was no difference, this butch actually stopped the lecturer from continuing and started arguing and talking to herself to understand the material. Whaaat? Okh, i’m sick of uni already because of these dickheads ruining my lectures.
