" Study-lo... "
I returned to uni after a week of the Chinese New Year celebration back home in KL and in Melaka. Coming back here means missing the good food galore, missing the freedom to not study, missing the visits- but they will not last long for i'm heading back again this weekend.
Before the CNY, we had a little gathering!How's your CNY? Hopefully as great as it should be! I love mine. We returned from Melaka on Thursday and on Thursday night, i attended another CNY open house- Uncle J. Steamboat was good, especially the tasty soup. Friday night was Uncle A's house. Mouth-watering cakes and desserts were highly anticipated. Saturday night, i visited my granduncles' place- a simple visit as i do every year. Sunday evening was Uncle M's house- the taste of pork rendang still lingers in my mouth. And on that night, it was Uncle Y's open house- slurping noodles! CNY house hopping is fun- it's like taking turns. Today, you have your open house (which means you have to prepare everything, from house to food) and tomorrow, you visit others (which simply means you can sit back and let the hosts serve you!). What do these houses have in common? A table of mahjong, a pool of card gamblers, trays of good food, and a nicely decorated CNY house. I've yet to visit my friends' house though- can i come to your place?
Coming back, i could begin to feel the workload and the undue pressure on my shoulders. Labs and tutorials start this week. Lectures are more serious these days. This sums up to quizzes, tests, lab reports, tutorial works and assignments. In short, pressure! Learning Physics 2 on electricity- i dislike electricity. I don't seem to get some of the concepts and go haywire over the directions. Hopefully, with more time spent, i will understand. Same goes to Chemistry- really need to re-revise. Engineering Maths is so far surviving and breathing. ICIS is about storing in my brain information. English, no comments. To study still in CNY mood?
Despite the pressure, i have just watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button- curious how i have watched it so soon in my uni? About the show, i definitely like how the story unfolds. It's sort of a flashback and the significance of time ticking backwards on the clock is amazing. Leaded by Brad Pitt, this movie has earned many nominations and no doubts to why it has earned them. It sets in an older time and progresses slowly as how he age backwards. Though sometimes it maybe a little draggy, the story moved smoothly and, i would say, touchingly. It gives a different perspective to some people who would want to look younger as they grow older. It ends well, with a narration at the end. About 2 and a half hours, the story is, to me, interesting and captivating. Slumdog Millionaire?
Book fair in uni! 'Popular' bookstore made its appearance here and books were sold at discounts rarely we can get outside. The popular books on sale and bought are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn- it must be the movie and Robert P that place these books back on the 'wanted' list. As for me, i could not resist to buy The Innocent Man, by John Grisham at a discounted price. I have always wanted to read this book and now that i have bought it, i don't know when to read it- because of Semester 2's pressure.
There is nothing but to study even though it's still the CNY. Somehow, i'm also craving for good food, ang paw and my hands are beginning to itch to gamble. wc09 has half-pressed his 'study' mode button, but it's still the CNY!
