an ambitious start

I dont know what convinced me to start my own blog, i love writing but i havent had the determination to sit my ass down and start punching keys. So this will be the beginning of a voyage of literature.

The day began at 0830, where I had to get myself ready for a 9 am class, the day would be long and tiresome(being an engineering student). so i dragged my sorry bum to the toilet. To my suprise, my neighbour so called "smalls", yes smalls...self explanatory, was still sleeping when she had to go for a 9am class. While religiously brushing my teeth with foam all over, i decided to wake her up so i knocked on the door and there she was in her PJ's still getting her beauty sleep. I was told later by her that she got to class all thanks to me, but just 20 minutes late. Oh well..

Class started with a tutorial on some control systems which the tutor was utterly useless. all he did was dodge the students questions and hide behind the textbook. With the help of gifted friends i manage to get through the day. I sat next to Jc, who was a viral radiator, i could feel my health deteriorate proportional to the time*distance i was sitting next to him. Squeezing my brain juice to solve equations early in the morning was really challenging.

When the tutorial ended and the next lecture was in the same class, i decided to sit next to aik and tots which was far away from jc. Sorry Jc for abandoning you, if i didnt i would be sooo sick right now. I also had to sit in the front because i need glasses, something i realised recently. that reminds me to head to the optometrist during the weekend. Anyways, the next lecture was like a full marathon, the lecturer had a lazy eye, a high distinct nose that stuck out like a flagpole. To my suprise during the lecture i realised his nose pointed towards the left of his face. I think that balanced out his lazy eye. Oh yeah, marathon. he went on for 2 hours non-stop,not giving us the common 5 minute break. The best part was, the whole 120 minutes he was unloading facts and important equations on us, aik tots and me tried our best but we lasted for only an hour. The other hour we were laughing at how we were going to suffer preparing for the exams AND trying to focus, yes TRYING. During the last hour, i turned back to look at the rest of the class, everyone was dazed or dreaming or staring blankly at something.So i guess it wasnt just me. It was just too much for a human brain to comply.

Class ended, and everyone were like zombies. We had a precious 3 hour break, making the best of it, i slept for an hour at home, did my preliminary for the other and had lunch the rest of the time.

It was then 4pm and we had a lab for 2 hours. As usual, labs were like walking in the dark, and then finding yourself stumbling over something, then the lights suddenly go on. For the 2 hours, we were working through our labsheets, trying to comprehend instructions line by line and didnt understand what we were doing. when we finish our lab and then we step out of the box..and were like..ooooooo..so thats what were doing. thats the overall description of our labs.

now the best part. David invited me to some christian band concert thingy. Curious and bored, i dont know what made me go,but it was a culture shock for me. It wasnt so bad as i had Dania and Kevin along with me, luckily they werent hardcore jesus goers. Yeah, it was supposed to be at 7 but i think it started about close to 8, malaysian timing ++ , since 90% of them were from malaysia in the overseas christan fellowship. The band came in when they switched off the lights..and the manned their instruments. Then the lights went on, a basic stage appearance act..that was fine.. Then they started playing a few songs, people were clapping hands..thats was fine.. suddenly a jumping jelly bean (a christian worship dude) started being himself. He was alone in the middle of the isle of a church like interior and letting himself lose. he looked like a complete MANIAC. i was scared..thats not fine...soon after more ppl started to join in the cause of jumping jelly beans...i looked at Dania and she looked at me. we know what we were thinking...unbelievable...Anyways, Dania started being really sarcastic and almost convinced me that she was having a good time by clapping her hands like a walrus. So we catholics in a christian thingy couldnt careless but to critisize their so called "fellowship" throughout the night. The event reminded me of a satanic cult thingy with everyone dancing like they were possesed, swaying hands, shouting random replies to the air and of sorts.

Then they had a break where some guy from planet shakers gave us a "short" preach. Its amazing how they start by saying, "this will not take long". So he went on critisizing other religions which were not christian nor catholic, which were mainly hindus due to their pagan statue worship. He had a few funny jokes but most of it was really insinuating everyother belief or religion. He appealed to me more as a stand up comedian instead of a pastor. The band then took over after that and the "fellowship" continued.

This will definately be the first and last time i would attend a christian fellowship or concert like this. Its traumatizing.

So much for my first post, a first step in my haphazard congitation.
