The New SLP! (hopefully)

Assalamualaikum.


You know what, for the sake of keeping this blog alive, I've decided to change my post format. No longer will it be paragraphs depicting an incident or shout-outs or whatever, but I'm gonna be like the engineering student that I am and write dot points instead (alasan tak legit). About five-ish I think? Maybe more in case something really good happens. Just highlighting the (unlikely-to-be) interesting bits of my day and such. So yeah be prepared to see some repeated posts :P

So! Here's for yesterday, since it's only 3 p.m. right now and what a dull day this has been lol.

1. Final computing lab session! Now my Monday's are freeeee muhuhahaha. 
2. I only said free because I've been skipping classes recently :( I will make up for it I promise!
3. Went to the gas station to pump my bike tyres (since apparently we're too cheap to get a bike pump). Nozzle went whack on my tire air inlet. Not only is the inlet lodged quite deep into the tire/rim now, the tire is also completely flat. Nice.
4. Oh God does this mean I have to ride the bus to uni now? D: 
5. Went to the labs again for group assignment. Only it wasn't exactly a 'group' work since I thought Aleks wasn't able to come (and I left my phone at home tsk). Turns out he was there all the time in another lab; and neither of us any bothered to go search lol.
6. My bus card is actually for a normal concession, not the student one. That's why I'm ranting.

Cepatlah habis sem adoiiii.

"Apa akak ni dengar lagu band tak famous; dah la tak sedap wah wah wah"

I always feel that one of my greatest accomplishments in life is when I manage to impress my dad. He's a smart guy and people would look up to him at times (I mean he brags about his glorious office moments pfft) so naturally I would be so pleased with myself if I manage to get his 'approval', so to speak. In recent times though I am never able to impress him academically, although I do like to tell him about the things I do in uni just to sound professional-ish XD (Although I do believe he has once bragged about me going to ANU to one of his clients or someone) But seriously Ba, I personally don't know what's so awesome about this place according to you; for engineering at least, it's not even in the top 3 Aussie universities....but I am content nonetheless.

But more than education, the one moment I would triumphantly puff my chest up is when Baba approves of my music. And why's that? Because I'm in a (silly) one-sided competition with him that if I like his music, which I do but not all, then he should like mine as well. It doesn't help that the bands that I listen to are pretty much not-so-mainstream; a lot of them are names the general people have never heard of. The thing about my dad (and my brother for that matter) is that he NEVER says anything nice about the albums I buy.....until that time.

I figured as much that if he won't enjoy the lyrical music I listen to, he should at least like my choice of  the instrumentals and 'epic' music (yes, epic is a genre only we epic lovers call them). We were in the car on the way to Kuantan when I heard the start of a familiar tune. ".....Zomg isn't that my Illusions CD? My dad actually added my CD to his 'long-distance' playlist wow!" And it is a big deal, because a long-distance playlist means the songs aren't just simply on air to pass the time like how radios work. It means that these songs actually help you on your journey. Lol. I guess it must've been all those times I blasted the CD through the speakers when I'm floor-cleaning. Anyway, on our way back to KL I had my cousin hitching a ride with us. Imagine my delight when he asked me about the composer and the name of the album :D Double score! Wooooo!


If my dad likes that CD, wait 'til he listens to a compilation of my personal favourites. Hehehe.
