Another diverging path, a fork stuck in the road,
Time grabs you by your hand, directs you where to go,
So make the best of these times and don’t ask why,
It’s not a question but a lesson learn in time,

Take all this pictures of laughter and good days,
Put it in a frame, reminiscence of those times,
Scars and memory left along those lines
For what it’s worth, it was worth all the while,

It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right,
I hope you had the time of your life.

ONE LAST SWING

Anymore bloggin here is gonna see me ranting over and over again and each time that I do, it only gets worst.

Well, my break went off on a very very bad start. Apart from other minor hiccups, I was once again hit by a typical broadband issue. But when I had it last firday, I'd never imagine in my wildest dream that it's reprecussion would be so much more worst off, one that I've never had before. But what can I say. I had no control over all this circumstances that goes around me. If I could I would trade anything to prevent it.

No, I'm not talking about any internet addiction here. I couldn't care less if I haven't played any online games for ages or go trolling, flamming and spamming at some forum. I dont miss it all that much. But well... Now if anyone ever complains why TmNet gives u such a low up bandwidth for your P2P and crap, wait till you spend those 4 days I had in my shoe, and see how it screws u inside out.

Well, now that I've finally got the connection back, I'm not sure if its anyway different. Its hollow.

But if anything, I only have myself to be blamed for, that I got in too deep.

Anyway, one more thing is that, I love writing, and in this modern age, it actually help me alot on this. Which is why I go foruming, I blog here, I listent to song with great lyrics. But at times like this, I wish I was back in the '80s.

I need a break from all of this and pull myself together again.

And no, incase if anyone's wondering, I did not loose my mind just because I cant do all of that for the pass 4 days. Life's so much more complicated than to waste time spamming at forums or playing games, I can make do without it. =)

Till I blog here again.~

The grass is always greener when you're there

Finally my Technical Communication’s presentation is over, thus marking an end to all assignment for that paper. I must say that despite all the mock meeting and presentation, at the end of the day, it was nothing short of fun.

To be completely honest, the hardest part is the build up towards doing those thing, its not doing it itself. The mock meeting, it was initially a nightmare to all of us. Even with some discussion and preparation, we suck big time in those preparations. We were all so nervous towards it, but when we were on it at that moment, its like a magic happens. We didn’t even have to try. It all just came naturally. The same went with our presentation.

But anyway, I guess I’ve learned a lot from this. This isn’t the first time, and it isn’t a good presentation from me, but certainly I felt that I did better than any of my past presentation. Certainly it is a step forward to prepare myself for when it does matters, my FYP presentation.

Oh well, the semester has once again comes to a close. Well, almost.

But hey, it’s been 3 long years I’ve been here. 2 years in the faculty. So much had happened, so much I’ve been through, and it’s a wow. But nevertheless, no matter how much I’ve lost, it’s still a long way ahead.

The risk not taken.

Finally I've technically back on blogging. I mean, blog the way its meant to be.

Oh well, as always, busy buzzy bee life.

Now I'm a big fan of Formula 1 sports, and to those who aren't familiar with F1, or the latest F1 if you will, it not just about a racer skill anymore. Mentioning the word strategy and any F1 fans would imagine about detailed planning and prediction. One spcial thing about strategy in F1 is that, sometimes there are time where one has to step on a back foot, in order to gain a strategic advantage later on. There's always the risk taken here.

Ok, straight to the point, I just sometimes wonder, can I play such strategy in my real life academic? There's just so many things to consider, no, to predict actually.
-If I grad with this kind of grade, what will it be worth?
-Can strechting my course duration plays into my hands?
-Does less academmic burdern per semester = better results?
-How much I can make that plays into my hand?
-What about polishing my programming?
-Do I have enough time?

Its rather unfortunate that in F1, strategic decision is base on data, which are percise figures but MY strategic decision is base only on assumption and hopes.

But hey, thats just a part of the story.

The other question is should I or should I not play strategic and just play it the brute force way?

Damn I already hate this academic game.
