A friend in need is a friend, indeed

The Internet here is sooo bloody slow.





I cannot believe this, I can't do filesharing (to you, it's called piracy), blogging (to you, it's typing rubbish) and chatting (to you, it's wasting time laughing at the computer screen).

And guess what, if I want better connectivity, I have got to pay RM144 for 3 months. Don't ask me whether it's worth it or not, heck, my NEIGHBOUR gives free connectivity (no encryption and passwords..).

I thought the wireless in the room was supremely shitty, turns out the wireless throughout the campus was a joke. Well, probably because they don't want students surfing graphics (ahem) and information intensive websites. But at least include blogging and emailing lahhh.

I will most certainly go back for the weekends to publish entries.

First things first:

1. The lecturer for my Maths class isn't here. It is going to be like this for 2 weeks. Double bugger. And in the end, they will be squishing all our 2 weeks worth work into the remainder of the semester.
Seems like there are a lot of empty positions here.
2. My class consists of people from different courses. Meaning, we have people taking different diplomas (i.e. E and E, Mechatronics, und so weiter). As it is the May intake, we don't have huge classes of students doing the same programme, so we're basically a mixed up bunch.
3. Since I have studied A Levels for more than 4 months, the Physics classes won't be much of a problem.........for now.
4. The people here are really diverse and multi racial. And the best part is, their England ain't that good save for the foreign students. But nevertheless, life is a learning process. I will learn to speak the languages. Of Cantonese and Mandarin.
5. Some really great friends of mine had allowed me to use their Nilai Accounts. And so the internet speed is rather surpassing that of the normal rubbish.

Thank you!!
