… is what I’m feeling now. Just managed to finish some work today that contributed to half of my final year project’s development part.

Yeah, I’m ahead of schedule now. For now at least. Gonna soon start on the second half of it, just a matter of integration and interfacing between different modules. Hope I can finish it this semester so that I got more time to relax in my final semester in Inti. Gosh, it’s been 3 years already…

Oh btw, tsewei is currently touring the Madison Square Garden in New York City now… lucky her. smiley
Wish I could be there too, but hey, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do… Just hope she’s having a great time there… well not that great lar since she’s not with me, good enough time then smiley

Gonna go sleep soon… it’s been a productive day. I’m proud.

I’ve just managed to dig up some dirt on RT’s past. It’s very very very very disturbing indeed (before your minds all get clogged up, there’s nothing to do with RT and sleeping with any students, since he could never get laid, as much as he would like to, even with an ah kua, so please strikeout that thought, eww! smiley ops:).

Once I have gathered enough information, I shall post it here again PLUS will be informing the Dean about this as soon as I possibly can.

Heck, this is even better than Bastard Operator From Hell (BOFH) instalments that you get over at TheRegister (archived here)

To RT: I am rubber you are glue, whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you! smiley

My studies...28 Oct 2004 6:05 pm

Well, heard from Andi that the session of feedback with the HoP regarding RT is mainly due to some complaints regarding the lecturer. Phew! For once, I actually thought staff at SOCIT knew about my blog!

Seems like RT’s landing his big @$$ in hot soup (much like those thrown at Sir Alex Ferguson after the Man Utd - Arsenal match), stay tuned smiley

My studies...27 Oct 2004 5:05 pm

Status update:

I am now in the lecture theatre listening to a briefing about Final Year Project for next semester. And earlier before the briefing began, the assistant to the Head of Programme (HoP) approached us and requested for a few of my fellow classmates to meet up with the HoP, to discuss and gather feedback regarding the BLFH, Mr. RT smiley

Seems like the mediocrity of RT’s lecturing capabilities have reached the attention of college management. Perhaps they saw the previous entries of the blog regarding RT.

Tomorrow, Wil, Andi, James and the gang will be meeting up with the HoP for the feedback smiley
Stay tuned!

My studies...18 Oct 2004 4:36 pm

Today, unfortunately, I stayed back for RT’s class. He teached for one hour (I was 25 mins late into the class, so my suffering was 25 mins lesser than others in the class), and the started making us do past year paper questions again…. *yawn*

RT have the tendencies to occasionally mention his personal comments about INTI and its management (especially directed towards the President of INTI). Very unprofessional to be voicing out anything bad about your own employer. PhD my ass!

While we were attempting the questions, out of the blue, he mentioned about our test last week. He claimed that only a couple of people listened to his advice of highlighting important points in our test/exam answers. I was like WTF??!!!

What the hell is wrong with his sorry lazy ass? He’s so fucking lazy, that he wants us to highlight to him the important points. I, for one, never bother to write grandmother stories, but gets straight into relevant points… so am I supposed to highlight my entire answer sheet yellow?!

Furthermore, highlighting portions of the answers would only make it difficult for him to spot the valid points that didn’t get highlighted, but worth marks. Coz as usual, we would all be drawn towards the highlighted portions and skim thru it instead of thoroughly reading thru the entire answer as a whole.

Unbelievable, really, the craps that come out of him…

And he have the guts to come tell us to try (lecturers can’t postpone, only the students can apply) postpone our final exam for his subject to an afternoon slot instead of the allocated 8am-11am slot, just because he comes from his mother’s womb in Cheras, and he don’t like getting up at 5am to drive here before 7am to prepare the hall for the exam. What a load of bullshit, there’s easily 4 of us in the class who will have to study for the damned paper, and then drive/take bus all the way from KL to the college just in time for the exam and slave thru the 3-hour period writing, and he’s complaining having to wake up, drive to college, walk around the exam hall, and get paid for it? Geez… what a dumbfuck of a lecturer…

That’s all for my rants on RT for today. Can’t wait to get back home to snore my day away…

My studies...15 Oct 2004 8:36 pm

… but RT cannot, so he teaches instead…

This is a major rant post that’s way overdue… so here goes everything…. smiley smiley smiley
This semester, there’s this dumbfuck of a lecturer (trust me, I’ve plenty of respect for my lecturers, especially Mr Penton & Mr Daneswaran), who’s quite new in the college, responsible for one of my course. I’ll call this lecturer RT from now onwards.

Major dumbfuck he is (whole class concur to my statement), he has really really screwed up approach to course delivery and I heard that students last semester gave him quite bad a feedback during the lecturer evaluation time…

This time around, RT was trying to be a smart alec, he tried to promise us certain stuff, and at the end of the promise, I did ask him what’s the catch, in which he said none. Lo and behold, a couple of days later was his lecturer evaluation time… I, of course, saw thru his fake attempt to build rapport with the students, gave him a fair evaluation (read: Cs and Ds mostly, that’s what he deserved) instead of giving him a fairly good evaluation.

How is he such a major dumbfuck, you’d ask? Well, first his teaching method sucks, he would teach one chapter, and then ask us to do past exam paper questions related to the chapter that instance itself… we’ve yet to even digested the chapter he taught, and we’ve got to write answers for that… lame… At times when he doesn’t want to continue teaching the next chapter (giving excuses such as we’re ahead of schedule), he’ll make us whip out the past exam papers and do more questions (this just happened yesterday)… he would let us do for 2 minutes, while we’re collecting our thoughts and writing it down, he would start talking about either the question or crappy crappy stuff like basic exam writing tips (hello? We’re in final year now, if we couldn’t handle final exams, how could we reach final year level???! smiley ), and then he’ll stop and 2 minutes later, resume the same old shit… fucking unnerving and disturbing!

None of us liked his approach, but he couldn’t care less about how we feel towards it… coz yesterday I finally voiced out my disagreement to his approach, in which he had no proper comeback… I said something like:

“Sir, can you either just discuss the questions now and let us do it afterwards -OR- let us do it now AND THEN DISCUSS IT LATER??! You’re disturbing the thinking process!”
“Well, this is not an exam, not even a test, it’s just a tutorial… I’m not gonna talk like this tomorrow during the test…”, RT replied
“YOU BETTER MAKE SURE YOU DON’T!” I said, rather pissed…
and then he went on with his excuses… and I just couldn’t care less about him anymore, spoiled my mood to tackle the questions I just end the conversation with “BUT YOUR DAMN VOICE IS BLOODY DISTURBING!”

After the class, while in the college canteen, some of the classmates saw me and started shaking my hands, saying “well done” on standing against the damned RT… Oh one more thing, RT is fucking anal about attendance taking…. you see, nowadays in college the lecturers use a PDA to take our attendance a la Touch-N-Go on our ID smartcards. As usual, some of us would be skipping the class, and passing on the ID to another friend attending the class…

Stupid RT is so anal that when he found out we’re using this trick, he personally removed the attendance record taken for the absent students…. and nowadays he hold his PDA so dearly, much like the way he holds the 2 peanuts he calls testicles….

More rants to come… today during the test, he didn’t bother photocopying the test questions for us, he’s so fucking lazy, he ended up making ONE transparency slide of the question and made us look up to the screen for the questions… why the fuck is he trying to skim the paper? It’s not like we’re not paying the college (and indirectly, him) enough for papers…

You must be damn curious about how he looks like, don’t you? Well, I don’t have any picture of him, but I can assure you, you can easily mistaken him for William Hung… but it’s quite unfair to say that he looks like William Hung, coz Will is so much better a man than he’ll ever be…


RT? Nah, RT would be the f-ugly version of William Hung

And I managed to pull up a profile of RT somewhere on the Internet… let’s have a laugh at what he wrote…
his birthday: Feb 25, 1980 (wtf!!! He’s only 1 year older than me… no wonder he’s such inmature dumbfuck)
height: 173cm (yeap, he’s shorter than me, but I think he’s not more than 170cm)
body type: athletic (yeah right, if he’s athletic, then I’ve got a body to die for… he’s a fat ass, even Drew Carey would be ashamed of his body!)
education: PhD (I guess he conveniently “PhD”ed himself, permanent head damaged)
profession: self-employed/business (I guess his self-employed dotcom busted and then now gotta work as a lowly-paid lecturer)
weight: 65kg (it’s either his bathroom scale is broken, or that’s his weight when he was 12, coz everyone seems to say he’s over 80kg!)

I guess that’s all I’ve to rant about this, I can bet you my classmates will start coming into my blog and comment further on the rants…

My last rant about RT would be: What can I say about him, a Nokia user that leaves his Bluetooth on visible all the time (stupid dumbfuck draining his batteries)…. smiley

My studies...28 Jun 2004 9:12 am

… and what’s worse than Monday blues is definitely attending class on a rainy Monday morning… *sigh*

Anyway, out of boredom in class, I wrote the following code:

public class AdvProgramming extends JavaProgramming {

    public String loop_repetitive_boring_lectures() {
        return “blah… blah… blah”;
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int sleepy = 100;
        boolean snore = false;
        while (time >= 8.00am && time <= 10.00am) {
            System.out.println(loop_repetitive_boring_lectures());
            sleepy++;
            if (sleepy > 150)
                snore = true;
        }
    }
}

*For those of you tempted to compile this Java code, it won’t work, so don’t bother wasting your time. smiley

Okay, break’s over, back to class…. yawn!

My studies...09 Jun 2004 9:18 pm

… began today in college. But this time around I didn’t join…

Finished class today at 3.30pm, had to attend a stupid briefing regarding the changes to my course at 4pm… stupid briefing indeed, didn’t tell us much that we don’t already know, and the things they told us (like the changes in lab fees), they could not tell us the justification for the changes… WTF??

Only thing I was interested in was the outcome of the course now that they’ve moved all the subjects from the validation course (Degree in Computer Systems and Networks) to the franchise course (Degree in Network Computing, by Coventry University, UK). Finally, they have the approval to graduate us with the Degree in Network Computing. So I’ll be getting that cert by this time next year I hope…

The whole time during the briefing, I was online chatting with ChrisHoo and fel over ICQ and MSN Messenger respectively… was using my iPAQ connected to tmnut hotspot wi-fi smiley

After the briefing was over, I loitered around, not know what to do since it was only like 4.40pm and the bus back to civilization only comes at 5.30pm… the guys went back to the hostel rooms to change and go swimming (moi can’t swim smiley ) so I went to the loo when they were gone…

So I was enjoying my little yellowish water graffiti action on the wall in a cubicle, when I heard an idiot next cubicle talking thru his phone asking for help… with that I realised that the debate competition begins today… coz he was asking his friends for points for his motion… stoopid fella really… he’s supposed to be brainstorming with his teammates but he was there spending precious time away asking his friend for help… geez…

That gave me an idea, why not I go sit in for one of the debate session, I was bored anyway… So, I did just that, walked towards the engineering block where they were supposed to meet…

Before that, back to why this semester I pulled out of the debate. Well, it’s an inter-school debate competition, organised by zhiling of the English Language Society (or some club like that). She came to me one day persuading me and my gang to join the debate since there were no representatives from my school (SOCIT - School of Computing and IT). But I told her I can’t make it for the debate since I won’t be around during next week (I’m going to Singapore, more on that next time) and we don’t really have a substitute that can take my place if I’m not around…

Too bad for us I guess, maybe next time, since AUP (American University Programme), SOLLA (School of Language and Liberal Arts), SOSAM (School of Science and Maths), SOBAL (School of Business and Law), SOEAT (School of Engineering and Technology) and SOHAI (School of Hentai, Anime and Illustrations…. hehe, okay, I made that up… if there’s a SOHAI school, Wilson Tsui would be the dean.. LOL!) all joined in the debate smiley

Back to my day, met up with zhiling and then yakked a bit as the debate only start at 5pm. I joined in the debate that she was supposed to chair, with the motion “Businesses Should Do Anything They Can To Make Profits” (yawn! smiley ). The reason I joined in that room is because it should be exciting, seeing one of the defending champion, Abigail was in that group.

But alas, it turned out to be a very badly one-sided affair. The other team just sucked so much that the first speaker practically read off the essay he wrote on the paper he was holding (took only 3 mins out of the allocated 7 mins), the supposedly second speaker freaked out just after the opposing team first speaker finished, so she got replaced by the substitute (which caused a controversy since the head judge wanted to become anal and wanted to disallow it) and that substitute was like a clock that you have wind up, coz she speaks for a while, then pauses and wait for her teammate to write points for her, and then she resumes speaking again.It just went downhill since the start of the debate… WTF!!!

I sneaked out of the room at 5.20pm to walk towards the bus stop to get home… then again, I would’ve walk out at that time even if I don’t have a bus to catch… came back and zhiling messaged me on ICQ:

+ z h i l i n g: guess you already know who won?

Teeheee smiley

My studies...28 Apr 2004 4:25 pm

… 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
