… was how I started the new semester in my degree programme in INTI College Malaysia in Nilai… after the end of this new semester, I’ll have 3 more semesters in the Final Year, after which I would graduate with a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Systems & Networks degree…

Yeap, now that I’ve moved back completely to civilization Kuala Lumpur, I have to travel to class in the campus in Timbuktu Nilai by bus. The college provides shuttle bus service between the Subang Jaya campus and the Nilai campus and charges RM 60 for a monthly pass.

Not too bad I guess, except that I have some (or rather, lots of) spare time to wait for the next bus… really need to get a laptop so that I can do my work and projects in the library….

As for the bus ride, well, I have to drive to Subang Jaya and park my car near Sion’s house (thanks buddy for letting me park outside your house) and walk to the Subang Jaya campus…

Boarded the bus this morning with Ly (my coursemate, she’s from Vietnam, and I’m using her laptop now to blog this entry… found out that she actually read my blog from time-to-time…. another lurker… smiley ) as she also travel on a daily basis by bus… the bus provided is like a typical express bus you would take to “balik kampung” (Malay term for going back hometown)…

That would only mean an hour of bumpy and noisy bus ride coupled with the lack of powerful air-conditioning…. sigh, luckily I only have to go thru this twice a day, one hour each way, and 5 days a week… the next ride coming up at 5.30pm to go back to Subang Jaya….

Definitely not a good environment to be doing any form of reading, or else would end up getting a big headache… sigh, should start filling up my iPAQ with mp3 music so that I can listen to it while dozing off to sleep in the bus…

Got my official result too today… 2 A’s, 1 B+ and 1 B-… not too bad, considering the shit I’ve been thru over the course of the last semester…
I got A for both Distributed Database System, and Computer Structures and Interfacing (read: assembly programming)… while I got a B+ for Systems Programming and a B- for Windows NT & NetWare Administration….

I got a B- for the Windows NT & NetWare subjects perhaps because it’s already obsolete and that I don’t understand how they could make us sit for a exam paper on such a practical subject… imagine questions like “Explain the steps to install a new printer and share it to the users with the permission bla bla bla”… Hello? It’s a practical subject, it’s about an operating system, it’s graphical… geez… nvm ler, I did well I guess… smiley

That’s all for today I guess… can’t wait to board that damned bus and get home… smiley
