So, I'm alive

I don't think half a month of no posting and usual dropping by at other blogs count as a long period of time, but sure felt so to me.

It's been about two weeks in Master program, and nothing much is going on really. I'm still in the process of setting out the direction of where my research would be - so I don't bumble along in the dark and all that. I've also applied for a demonstrator position (something to replace the tutor position - one which the university had removed, strangely enough), and will probably start working next week or the week after that.

So back to the student life I go, with the uncertainties of whether I could have enough to eat tomorrow, and the rush to finish reports and other works (I might exaggerate on the first part, but there never seem to be enough to spend for when you're studying, innit?)

I'll probably spam a random post very soon. Take it easy 'til then~

I'm still alive, but my internet isn't~

Title pretty much says it all.

I'm currently in the middle of catching up with stuff that I've missed in the last couple of days (not much progress for this) and trying to finish my assignments (even worse). Commenting/posting/spaming will (hopefully) resume soon.


Also, I was sick the whole day yesterday. And the weird thing was that I was having this one dream, which was very fuzzy and messy, right before/when I started to feel sick. And it had something involving Touhou music arrangement. Not too surprising I guess, when I look at the fact that I've been listening to mostly Touhou stuff lately - maybe more on that later.

At the moment, I'm still not sure what I'll be writing in the future posts. Uni's keeping me so occupied that I don't have time for anything's else. Man I miss taking it easy like usual...

Some pics off Brunei

I don't really feel like talking much about the trip, so I'll let the picture speak for themselves (except that they don't speak much, as you can see):

Also, yes, I didn't take any picture of the wedding event itself, 'cause I was running around, eating/talking/sitting around/being lazy, and I didn't have my camera with me at that time D=

Normal post will resume very shortly...

So I was out getting sunburnt and scraped by thorns

The title pretty much sums up what I've been doing in the last couple of days.

Geologists call it 'fieldwork', layman may prefer to call it 'lurking in the middle of nowhere'. As for me... well, I'd say it's just another day of work.

For the last 4 days, I've been conducting a geological fieldwork to prepare my final year project's presentation. I've since went back and forth to several roadcuts in a rural area, about 40 Km plus from my house.

After regressing back into my old habit of staying in the room all day and taking it easy, it took me some time to adjust into spending half of the day examining geological features (i.e. rocks) in the fields, engaging in meticulous measuring and recording of data that would require a certain dedication (they can get pretty tedious and boring - and it's me that's talking here, heh).

I'm still high and dry

Some people asked me if all is well here at my home, probably after the news reported how bad the flood is up north only after the worst is over. Well, true, I might not really be up to date with the news, but I was somewhat surprised that after I returned back here to discover the the flood have pretty much receded, the news still show footage of the flood as if to imply that the flood is still taking place.

And don't forget their attack on the minister too. And his counter-attack. Bahhh politic shits.

Anywayyyy... I've been here for more than a week now, and my final starts in about a week. And what am I doing? Why, procrastinating, of course!


Last week, I had a sort-of-stress after I realized that I haven't done a worthwhile thing regarding studies. Not to mention that I haven't conducted the final year fieldwork, which on hindsight, I should have started even earlier than now.

But, after a while, I thought that, hey, no point getting a stomach ulcer ala Najib over these things, eh? Let's take it easy~ (yeah right...)

TL;DR: I'm still alive, going to have exam, busy procrastinating. Imma be writing what is it that I'm doing while I'm procrastinating: stay tune for the next post aight.
