Lazy Physics

It's Sunday, sunny day! Family day! Rest day! It's weekend and I should enjoyed myself... Instead tortured myself, trying to 'date' with Physics.

Why do we need to study Physics? It's really dreadful subject for me... It's so abstract... A lot of formulas to remember and concepts to understand and imagine. If you get what it means, then it's fine. But the worst thing was you don't even understand the concepts, derivations... and I'm so lost and frustrated.

Why do I choose Physics?
- to broaden my majoring path in future and gain knowledge (this is the most stupid excuse I gave myself).
- to torture myself and afflict with severe pain of mind (crazy?)

Argh.... I gotta pass this subject >.<

That's all?

It seems that I was just started to study in the first semester, and now it's the end of my 12 weeks in first semester. I didn't realize it passed so fast until someone told me "Today is the end of our semester!". I'm still the blur blur one.... and the most important that I worried and frustrated was, my final exam will be held in the next 2 weeks, starting 5th to 8th of June, 4 days with 4 subjects in a row... I'm so dead >.<

This is the end? I'm still not well prepared... not in my lifestyle... not even started to sit down and concentrate to study... I promised myself to study everyday from the beginning of the semester, however as we all know... who cares?

Cold joke

Supposed that today I went back home with my uncle, however I gotta go for consultation for mathematics. My uncle told me as he went home with the neighbour's son, the boy ask him a question.

Boy: Uncle, how do you make a milkshake?

Uncle: It's so easy boy~ You just need to go to a cow farm, grab a cow and start milking. As you milking, shake it as you squeezed it. There's the fresh milkshake !

=.="

DFO

Woohoo !! Time to shop for clothes !!

It's really been awhile i didn't go shopping (perhaps it's like a century >.<). Everyday just walked pass the Melbourne city which fulled of branded, quality clothes, but no time to actually stopped by and tried it out... sigh...

At last, my cousin decided to took me out for shopping, as she also wanted to bought some clothes foe her ball night. We went to D.F.O. (Direct Factory Outlet) in Cheltenham. All branded clothes can be bought in reasonable/discount price.

A quick introduction of DFO
Direct Factory Outlets (DFO) in Cheltenham Victoria, is Australia's first and largest factory outlet shopping centre, with over 120 individual factory outlet stores all under the one roof.

With many superior brand outlet stores within the complex, our stores range in specialities from: women's fashion, men's fashion, children's clothing, footwear, sporting goods/apparel, homewares/furniture, manchester, jewellery/accessories, lingerie/sleepwear, handbags/luggage, prints/frames in addition to further unique stores catering for your every need.

Shop for almost 4 hours, not until someone said:"It's late, time to go home", I wouldn't stop purchasing clothes, there's so many branded and trendy clothes that can be bought in just a day in one big place. I spent around AUD$120+ for sweater, jacket, t-shirts... Dad gonna killed me :P

Demonstration

Public demonstration never seems to occur in Malaysia, but in Western Countries such as Australia, demonstration seems to be a big thing (especially in university), as the public could voice out their feelings and concern about certain matters. SO VOICE OUT !
As I finish my whole day lectures, I was about to go back home. That day was the demonstration day, which comprise of a few main current issues. I was so blur about it (I'm always the blur one).... suddenly some unknown bunch of people just drag me into the crowd and started to speak out some slogan "John Howard xxxxxx..." , " Melbourne Model xxx...." I'm kinda excited, but i don't feel like doing these things because I was so tired...and I had my own perspective which contradict to their manifestation (well, part of it...).
The Melbourne Model was a major event in the University of Melbourne currently. A lot of stuffs will be changed due to this model, which based on the American style of tertiary education.

"From 2008, the University will introduce landmark educational reforms known collectively as the Melbourne Model. These reforms are designed to create an outstanding and distinctive Melbourne Experience for all students. In moving to the new model, the University is responding to the challenges of today’s changing environment as well as aligning itself with the best of European and Asian practice and North American traditions. The Melbourne Model is based on six broad undergraduate programs followed by a professional graduate degree, research higher degree or entry directly into employment. The emphasis on academic breadth as well as disciplinary depth in the new degrees ensures that as a graduate you will have the capacity to negotiate your way successfully in a world where knowledge boundaries are shifting and reforming to create new frontiers and challenges almost daily. The Melbourne Model is the cornerstone of the University’s broader strategic vision for future development known as Growing Esteem. "

There will be only 6 major undergraduate course starting next year, included art, commerce, biomedicine, environment, science and music. The duration of courses are 3 years, then we can do specialization in certain field you interested. The model really shuts down a lot of courses next year from 50+ to only 6 undergraduate course. However they will slowly reintroduce more profession courses in the next three years. In other words, this year would be the last batch of students in some courses (eg. biomedical science, law...).

But I still doubt whether it would affect my future?

Sneak out at last, took some photos off and went home :P

Windy day and night

Windy for the whole night... and I was unable to sleep well because the horrible wind blown with high speed... spooky sound around the house and the window and doors were banging... Whole week going to be cooling (sometimes cold) and windy, with showers and max temperature of 19-21 degree celcius.

I'm a panda with panda's eyes :P

Tuesday? Worst day !

Tuesday, I just the schedule for tuesday. The whole morning would be tutorials for Physics, Maths and Biology... and during the biology tutorial, I'm not really feeling well today, and so coincidence that they demonstrates the sturcture of heart using the sheep's heart... I felt so gross and not in the mood, and I'm not going to touch that disgusting thing >.< (they ran out of gloves, you can imagine using bare hand to hold and dissect the heart, the stincky smell could last for few days on hands...puke...).

The worst thing of the day was the Physics's practical for 3 hours. Everytime i got into the lab, I'm so clueless about what the practical was all about. Even if I had my pre-reading, I still didn't understand what to do. When it comes to writing report, that's my worst part of it. At first my mind was wondering around what to do... and waste for an hour with any thoughts. For the last half an hour I always rushed my report, just dumped in whatever written in the practical manual book... As they said the practical session in Physics seems to improve the writing skills, it didn't help me well... >.<

What a day... pracs ends at 5.15pm, rushing to Melbourne Central to catch the express train in order to get the express bus >.< zzz...EXHAUSTED !

Labour day in Malaysia... 1st of May... and it's public holiday !

I really need holidays now >.<

The 9th week of studies in university.. and it's MAY...
