I want the "black computer" ?!

February 23, after lunch at Plaza Siswa, I went to the library for revision as I will be having a test on the same day, later at night. Thinking that there's such a short duration remaining before my next class at 3pm, I decided to browse through the intranet in search of past years' computer auditing final exam papers at the ground floor. The PC that I am using (Dell model) sure is giving me a lot of headache. The response is slow and it seems to take me ages to open a browser, leave alone, downloading the papers. After restarting the PC, things seemed to get better. I managed to open the browser and download the papers quickly.

After saving a few papers, suddenly I heard the voice of a girl talking loudly behind me. I turned my head over and noticed that there were 2 girls standing right behind me. They looked more like seniors rather than juniors. Their dressing made me thinked that they are management students. "I want to use the black computer!", which is the first thing I heard from the girl. I stared at her, "black computer?", these girls definately are not IT students. They could have refer to these PCs (the ones that are black in colour in the library) as Dell computers. "Are you using the PC to download past year papers? Can please use the other PCs? I need to use this PC because I cannot access it using the other PCs. I must use the black computer", they proceed. Why can't they use the other PCs? Though the Dell PCs are newer and generally faster than those old PCs around, they sure have the same functionality. While waiting for me, one of the girls made a phone call. In the phone, she kept on mentioning the "black PC". I was holding my laugh at that time. After attaching the papers via my email and sent, I let them used the PC that I had been using. They started using it for a while and left it. After a while, they came back and the PC was now occupied by an Indian guy. However, this did not stop them. The other "black computer" seemed to be targeted by them. That PC was been used by a group of Malay girls discussing their projects, I assumed. The two girls proceed them once again to request for the use of the "black computer".

Long way back to Penang

Yesterday, I took a 10am bas back to Penang. I expected to arrive in Penang at around 6-7pm. However, something unpredictable had happened. The bas that I took was suprisingly slow and it stopped at many places to pick up and drop passengers. So, I predicted that I will reach Penang later than expected. At around 7.30pm, I arrived at Butterworth. Normally, the bas will stop at Butterwoth and then procceed to Penang. I was very happy back then as I was about to reach home. After leaving Butterworth bas station, I noticed something strange as it does not take such a long time to reach Penang Island from there. I was surprised and asked the bus driver when I saw the road signboard going to Sungai Dua. To my horror, the bas driver claimed that the bas will not stop in Penang Island. Fearing that the bas will go to Alor Setar and it will took a long time to go back to Penang, I immediately phoned my dad and asked him to fetch me at Sungai Petani. I haven't been to Sungai Petani since around more than 10 years ago. Luckily the place did not change much though the it has well develop since I went there the last time. There are more shopping complex and shop lots, but the bas station was still the same as ever. Old and there are barely any lights along the road. There are quite a number of people there but they looked like as if they're going to "attack" me anytime. Maybe it is just a piece of my imagination. Hence, I waited for my dad's arrival at a small coffee shop situated at the road junction. It took my dad around half an hour to actually get to find me since I arrived at Sungai Petani. After a long wait, we went to have our dinner. It's the place that I last went to to have my dinner last time. It is kind of memorable and I kind of miss the roasted bread there. But, too bad, most of the stalls there were closed when I reached there. The wanton mee that I had for my dinner was not anything delicious but considerably eatable. There aren't many cars when we were on the way home using the highway, but the number of cars surely have increase due to Chinese New Year. Finally, at around 11pm, we safely reached Penang.

Purpose of my blog

Currently, I am still using a template. Hopefully I can learn to customize the settings soon. Last Thursday, I was confirmed by Dongseo University, Korea for my industrial training for 4 months. I was very happy and excited about it(even though it's just 4 months), of course not everyone think of it as so. Many people are frightened of its indefinities but I would like to take it as a new exploration in my life(and perhaps as a long vacation). I have always thinking of going to overseas to further my studies, but due to several reasons, I am unable to do so. Now, a golden opportunity lay in front of me. I would have been a fool and regret about it in my life if I just let it go. Of course, I would like to thank my friends who have supported me throughout the way. Their encouragements have made me walk longer than I thought. As a token of appreciation, I have created this blog in order to share out my experience to them ^^

My second blog

2 February 2005, 11:52pm, I create my second blog. Something "weird" happen to the first one. Unforeseen circumstances T___T Hopefully I don't need to re-create one later.
