ANENDTOANERA

As some of you might already know, it's my last day of work today (hence the theme song on previous post)... and I'm officially a jobless student again... WOOHOO!! and I must say that I am happy that I'll be a student again, and I am beginning to realise how brilliant being a student is. Well, it also depends on what kinda studies you doing, but as for IT students, we do have 3-4 day weeks, which is good, and you just gotta attend lectures, do some assignments and study..... it's that simple.... but of course that's IT.... I don't know about the rest... but I should believe that the real working life is not that simple after all, it's not just about yourself anymore, but the rest of the department...

..............and so I sat there and realised.... I only have one semester left, and then it's officially off to working life... I mean, all my life I have been studying.... from kindergarten to junior high school to high school to college to university... and I have been most comfortable at it, well.... too comfortable that I don't get good grades..... but now, after I finish my last semester... I have to come out to work, come out to live, pay bills and taxes.....

so after the last semester, it will be an end to an era.... and a new one begins, and that's the era of the working life..... but as for now, I am gonna take every advantage to appreaciate what's left of the study era........

FINDTHECOLOUR

Find the colour
Sight and sound
A new exposure comes around
Anaesthetic for the mind
Hear the voice that soothes away the pain

Television, satellite,
Conversation running dry
Sending back another text
Holding on to words you might regret
You know you might regret

[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Find the colour, find the colour

Looking for something new
A taste of life to pull you through
Defences down your feeling low
A change in feeling comes around againI
ts coming round again

[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD

SO DAMN GOOD....

I read the papers yesterday
They say that the bubble boy's ok
Another day of rain to come
We're sitting back still waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

[Chorus]
Cause now i can see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD

Now i see that i love all the things
That you do with each day
And it feels, SO DAMN GOOD
Every second that passes me by
With the blink of an eye
It just feels, SO DAMN GOOD!!!

ABOUTMYWORK

I have worked here for 5 weeks now, in a place called Royal Military College of Science, and I have been recommended in here by my relative and he's sort of my supervisor [great bloke btw], anyways I am now working under him, and whatever job he does, i assist him. Well, his title is basically called network support officer, and what he does is making sure the whole networks in this base camp works... and whenever there's new networks to be set up, he'll be in charge of it.....

Well.... about my job.... I am his assistant, and what do I do?? I assist him..... and how do I assist him??? I make him his coffee(s)....... hahaha... joking.... i do more than that..... besides making him coffee, I basically do all the stuff that needs doing of which he doesn't have the time to do it in the first place.... which means that even if it gets done or not doesn't matter.....so therefore, you would then think that my job is really insignificant... which is true.... but do I care?? NO!! And you know why?? That's because I get paid [I feel like a hooker...sigh...]

Anyways... besides the insignificant jobs, I do have some rather important jobs, and that's setting up 200 laptops for some students coming in next semester. Basically, it's setting up their windows, the profiles, their network drives, their outlook as well as making sure they run on wireless... these jobs are rather easy and repetitive, therefore they would need some idiot [yours truly] to do these things up... and they have found the perfect candidate..... moi!!

Sigh!! I only have one more week before I leave this place... and that's 5 days and counting.... Cheers!!

OXFORDSHIRESTORY

I think it's time to update this place.... it has been awhile... and that's because tempat aku tinggal sekarang macam kampung la...takde internet la....itu tempat yang mereka panggil "town" tu.... haih.... dua rows of kedai aje la.... bosannya aku, then transportation mereka itu is rubbish.... tak boleh pergi mana-mana.... kecuali weekend ler.... aku boleh pergi oxford town, yang far better.... itulah yang aku panggil town.......

anyways... some intro about how i ended up in this county called oxfordshire. As i mentioned in the previous post, I had a job and working for some relative, well.... he stays and works here, well, he stays in a place called Carterton (itulah yang aku panggil kampung tu) and works in a college for military....and it's part for the ministry of defence.... cool huh.... and I'm working for him, which makes it cool too.... anyways, about this military base, it's quite cool, with army tanks displayed throughout the base, then there's like a weaponary section, where they experiment on them, and also some science labs, with all these scientist in their white robe thing.... not forgetting the long blackboards full of equations....haha, just like in the movies.... which is cool..... and here comes the uncool part.... yang uncool itu bukannya tempat yang aku kerja la... tapi tempat yang aku tinggal ler...tempat itu, apa pun takde ler.... hanya ada 2 larat kedai.... bosannya.... so orang yang tinggal kat situ kan.... especially orang muda.... semua hanya asyik minum dan fag aje.... that's all they ever do..... so orang yang macam aku pulak... bosanlah.... tak minum, tak fag.... some more, rumah yang aku tinggal tu... takde internet pulak.... so u can't blame me that i don't update this place as much as i'd like to....

**start playing violin, with heavy rain in the background... and not forgetting some thunder**
haih... some more aku tak kenal satu orang ket sini pun, kecuali relative aku, yang asyik minum dan fag juga.... then half the time, aku tak paham paham ape yang mereka cakap tu, so they have to repeat half the time, and when i speak, i have to repeat myself too.... so therefore, i don't even speak.... so in this place, i introduce myself as being dumb.... or spastic.... which is believable... sigh.... how sad is this....

haih.... anyway... my only motivation here is the money i'm earning, though not much in this country, but if i save enough, i can enjoy myself when i go back home to malaysia....


[adalah reason aku cakap melayu ni... tak nak ler certain orang tengok ini, nanti kecil hati pulak... just in case tau...]

the UK story

so here goes the UK story... (it's not really a story, but how i ended up in the UK, and i did not say that it's gonne be interesting)... anyways, i am finishing my IT degree in 3rd year here... (did I mention that I.T. is boring... that's out of the topic, but anyways)... yup... in a university called middleSEX university.... (sorry, I just had to do that)....... ok.... concentrate...... i completed my 1st sem in this country, and another one to go.... and it starts on the 27th Sept... therefore i have almost 1 month left..... i'm living with my aunt in london.
btw.... i am in the midst of what they call a "summer break".... and it's 4 months..... can you imagine that..... 4 months...... which institute/college/uni/school (especially APIIT) in malaysia will give you a break for 4 months?? anyways, i didn't say it's not good.... and i am not complaining....

The 1st month, i was totally enjoying my break, going on holidays, went to paris, south england camping and so on, then the 2nd month i was getting desperate for £££ so started to look for jobs. I submitted at least 15 applications and not a single reply.... how good is that.... anyways, i am lucky enough i have a relative (father's sister's husband's sister's husband) who asked if i wanted a job, and I said YES without considering, so here I am now working with him in oxfordshire. The working place is absolutely cool.... (will write something bout it in next post)... and oxford town is absolute brilliant.
so there u go...... the UK story..... not much of a story is it...... sigh......
