Lectures and 24

Classes have been..how should I put it? Almost like my classes earlier this year, in terms of my concentration I mean. I don't know why but I always lose focus when I attend lecture classes. I've tried but I'm always drifting away. But I like to think that I never stop trying :)

Parkinson Building in the evening

Seminar classes are okay I guess. Well, maybe except half the time those management jargons don't sink in so easily for me. I don't have a background in management so these terms can be hard to digest.

Java is back and it ain't going nowhere until at least a few months and probably more. I seriously wish I can substitute Java with another language. Give me Mathematica or Octave! I think I can handle them more but of course I don't know what I'm saying because I'm not particularly a fan of programming languages in general.

And as usual I'm starting to get addicted to TV series again. Just as viewers wrapped up the finale of 24, I've just started watching the show and right now I'm up to Season 1. Hah!

Anyone rooting for Djokovic in Shanghai Rolex Masters semifinal against Federer? Well, I am.

More Pacing

More pictures ahead.

Friends' house...They live in a really serene neighborhood. I like it!

Paced

Thanks for all your well wishes. I've settled down just fine here in Leeds. It's a really nice city, different but nice. I think I'm starting to enjoy my stay here. But of course I haven't entered a class so I might change my mind after that. haha

This is the uni's main building.

And here are some pics around the city..

Sorry for the lack of words in this post. I have some slides to read now so I have to get on with it. I'll upload more pics next time! Until then.

Graduation Day

Today is a very special day for many UBD graduates. Here are just a few of pictures from today's event.

I'm a Carpet Flipper

Let the pictures do the talking. That's a good excuse to be a lazy blogger once in a while :)

@ Mimi's Open House

The Chem people got a talk. Presentation by one of the lecturer? Unfortunately, Mimi and I entered late so we missed the whole thing.

But guess who I spotted?

:DD

Camels and Graduation and Everything Nice

Before I start, I just want to remind tennis enthusiasts that the Asian swing is here! PTT Thailand Open and Malaysian Open will be held from 27th September 2010 onwards. Juan Martin will be back for Thailand Open after months of absence! But obviously Nadal will take the spotlight there. In the more humble tourney, Soderling and Davydenko will lead the Malaysian Open. Watch out for surprising upsets in these both tournaments!

Alright, back to my life.

I wanted to take a picture of the cute Blossom soft toy which I got from Happy Meal in McD but something ruined this picture. Try and guess what. It's so distracting!

I had this when I was in uni a few days ago. But I can't remember what I was there for and how I got into my sister's room at the hostel. All I remember was I haven't eaten and I was so hungry. The nasi lemak was a sight for sore eyes!

Camels this year. I wonder what NBT will come up with next year.

We are graduating pretty soon so it's time to hunt for materials. I've got myself a set of brooch and pin...well that's about it. I think everything else will be borrowed. I still don't have a pair of black shoes, which reminds me I don't have black stockings as well. It's a busy time for graduates!

Raya

I didn't think I would go anywhere for raya this year but in the end I did. My first house was Fakhriah's and from there on, well I didn't keep track. Thanks guys for inviting me along!

Today, Nina and I went to Miza's open house.

The ones below are from last night. The only pics I took from last night was the one where we were waiting in the car for the others at Jerudong.

Sorry for this practically-no-words post but this is suppose to be picture only. Until next time!

Paper Hang Glider

Jobless - Science Experiment - Attempting to fly a paper hang glider

I made a paper hang glider from sciencetoymaker.org BUT unfortunately it didn't work. It's so frustrating to control the thing. I had to adjust the flap to an exact 20 degree angle and the wire in front has to be in the right position. After a few minutes of trying I gave up. I just couldn't get it on air and control it with a card board. Maybe I'll try again some other time when I have nothing better to do.

You can get the whole instructions and cut-outs from the said website. If anyone succeed, you gotta show me how you did it!
