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".
