New Hiding Place

Yesterday, I packed all my assignments and decided to get serious with it by getting out of my room to somewhere I can seriously put my mind on.

At first, I plan to go hide at FET 3rd floor, but it is always filled up with class. I need a place with computer and damn fast internet speed. Library's internet is fast, but the monitor and PCs will boil away inspiration to do assignments.

So, I thought give it a try to CiTS lab. Surprisingly, the place was equipped with new PC that come with LCD screen!!! Not only that, the chair is brand new and I'm going to stick my ass there for hours. The internet connection was superb. Easily I can get into any websites and my research for my assignment was so fast and efficient. Not only that, the mouse is ergonomic, the table is wide and I can spread out my notes on the table without having a fuss.

There are so many factors I need to compromise working at my desk back in my room. Though I have wireless keyboard and mouse, the small table wouldn't serve me enough to freely open up my notes. I tried keeping unnecessarily things away, it still didn't work. Small table means small space.

Not only that, my room was right beside big busy road and it's so noisy with ger ger ger ger ger sound.

Lately many issues coming up among everyone in the house. It's annoying to face people like that in the house especially when all my important things are not moving yet.

Neural assignments dateline is so near and I don't know if I can come up with something today or tomorrow. Next week presentation. Finish planning for Embedded assignments, another round of checking and we can start ordering the components. Hope that everything will be fine at the end of the day.

45 minutes more I will be in the Rich Dad Poor Dad board game competition. I am wearing blue now, wonder if I would win. Like Jack Canfield book said, if you believe it you will achieve it. So readers, I believe I will win the game and come home with RM300!!! Yeah~~~

Life Before Me

Yesterday I went to Popular and bought this book, Mahathir Mohamad's illustrated biography. It's a comic of his life story and I like it. The story starts with him borned as a small little baby. hehe.... After pages of it, I think he is racist since young. haha..

Lately I've been connected very much to older generation stories, especially the life during war.

I watch this 1.30pm drama, about life at China and all the war and poverty with no rice to eat and no money that forced them to steal. The love of a family that is so fine even when they don't have anything in life, but merely rice for meals. They eat watery porridge everyday. If there is rice for them, it would make them happy. Just the same way when we go buffet.


Then I watch another drama at 11pm, also about war, titled war and destiny. The story of Japanese ruler in China. They suffered very badly during the world war 2. The torturous act did by Japanese in the history is screened in the drama to create awareness for the younger generations of what Japanese had did to the Chinese.



I read this book, Frank McCourt. I'm in love with the book. It makes me feel so fine reading his memoir. I found this book at Jusco Bandar Perda when I'm back at hometown. The love story was sweet! And his life journey was inspiring. Of how from a man of nothing when he is 18 stepping into a land of America with merely enough money for him to survive. From there the story begins. Working as toilet cleaner, in Biltmore Hotel for his first job. I adores his passion of reading. He'll let himself hungry and run out of money but never fail to send the allocated money for his mother.

Then he was picked into the army when war at Korea struck and he did well there. In no time he become Leautinent and then Commander. Lazy to write further, but I highly recommend this book. You can easily find it in library.

I realise how grateful we are and shouldn't complain about life anymore when there are people worst than us right now and can still fill up their life properly.
