Kouda Entry_06: Pointless Aspirations

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

There are a few things in the world which I don’t get; Why humans are so goddamn varied in terms of personality, Why people are so weird, Why people can be so stupid at times (that includes me, mind you), and Why Uitm can be so friggin incomprehensible~!

Okay, first, before I get dismissed should any of the lecturers stumble upon this rant session of mine (y’never know…people are weird, remember?), I am greatful for the fact that I was recruited, enrolled, eccepted into uitm. For that fact, I was able to meet lotsa great people and an exceptionally wonderful friend. I’m grateful that me being accepted as a MIcrobiology student made my parents happy ( i think…) even though I failed chemistry and will probably fail the rest of the cehm-related stuff. I’m grateful for the fact that they have wireless, free, unlimited internet access here in uitm shah alam and that I can leech of them anytime I want. Keke. But~!…(rant mode on)…

I just don’t get why uitm can have such unreasonable (and sometimes even stupid) aspirations. For instance, the one they’re having right now is aiming to attain the highest possible number of intakes (at once or sumthin…). I mean, yea, sure, you’re giving lotsa people lotsa hope and opportunity. BUT, d’ya think that this place can accomodate such an unbelievably HUGE number of students at once!? For godsakes, you only have ONE college for guys in the campus. The rest are kicked out like chopped liver, kidney, lungs and whatever bodyparts you can think of.

Sure, you’re giving hope to lotsa kids, but you’re also giving lotsa other kids a buttload of problems here!

Not everyone can find a place to rent (although Im’ hoping I can). And even if they do, they’ll have to get cars and stuff to travel to uitm (mind you, busses aren’t all that convenient when a huge pile of bookworms are trying to get into the campus all at once). And do you think uitm has ample parking spots for all them Non-Residents to plant their asses?

And let me guess, they’ll be making classes till MIDNIGHT just so that they can cram in every single subject in one week. I don’t know bout you, but this whole "highest number of student intake" is useless bullshit to me.

Again, I’m grateful for a lotta stuff uitm gave me. BUT!!! If you just use the budget you get from them higher ups to make more colleges for students to stay in INSTEAD of wasting it all to SUCK UP to the big guys, I think we’d all be a whole lotta happier. And a whole less crankier. Dude, how much money did they waste making "pretty" corridors, flashy pathways, shiny floors, sparkly poles and god knows how many glass rooms. Geez! If you spent 10% of that to improve the student accomodation section, I think we’d have more than just ONE college for guys in the campus area.

Speaking of college; what the fuck is with the idea of making us collect coupons if you’re just gonna kick us out anyway!? We busted our asses gathering those tiny shreds of paper, sacrificed our precious time going to pointless college gatherings when we could be studying (sleeping, resting or whatever). And in the end; Dukacita dimaklumkan permohonan anda tidak berjaya. BULLSHIT! And how do we secure a spot in the college? By joining co-curricular activities that completely robs us of our time and freedom. Oh, stuff like being Commander Kesatria, Palapes, PBSM, JPK, MPP and junk. Which, if we were to join, we wouldn’t be able to spend much time IN the college itself. Besides, the only college for the co-co people kinda suck. Been there, seen that, me no likey. Thank you.

Can someone PLLLEEEAAAZZZZEEE slap some sense into them uitm people!?!?

Oh yea, I think I have an idea on why they’re thinking of the whole "highest number of student intakes" shit. It’s because they wanna aim for "Paling banyak bilangan graduan" crap. Shit for crap. They don’t really care if them graduates had to take a million short-sems or even pay their way through. Yea. Go uitm~. Go straight to hell~!. (after I graduate la. MUNYAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!).

Kouda Entry_05: Rant-athon

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

Ok, I am SO goddamn bored!!!! Wanna know why? It’s because I’m stuck in uitm doing nothing when I’m SUPPOSED to be having classes. Ok, backtrack, I’ll give the highlights:

- I was born stupid so I had to repeat chemistry.
- I was born stupid so I had to take a short-semester
- I was born
- I’m stupid

Yeah, that’s pretty much the gist of things. Anyway~! Yeah, it’s been a week since the whole short-sem thing started. Shikashi!!! Apparently, my lecturer keeps cancelling classes for the past week. And where does that leave me (and the other chem-failures-i.e: students)? We were left with our mouths open, regretting the fact that we woke up at the crack of dawn. Wait, scratch that, BEFORE the crack of dawn just to get to class early. Not only did we find that the class havent even been UNLOCKED YET, class was never even gonna start!!! Bankaiii~!!!!! Dude, I can tolerate a day or two of class-cancellations. But, A WHOLE WEEK!?!? A week when I could be AT HOME, enjoying the luxuries that this place will NEVER be able to comprehend.

Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the fact that I even have a room to stay in during the short-sem. But, it’s friggin hot…and off-campus…sort of. Cafe isn’t open, so i have to WALK~ all the way to the nearest food court (not that far…but still…I’d drop dead before getting a bite to eat) which isn’t really hygienic. Which forces me to get a take out and double-take to my room. WHICH by then, I’d probably keel over and croak. Why? Gastric juice burning the linings of my gut…if I’m lucky.

People~!! If you’re NOT gonna make any classes for the whole week, at least INFORM us BEFORE we get to class. Y’know what, inform us BEFORE we even set foot out of our homes. That way, NONE of us would have to suffer staying at a boring and pretty much uninhabitable college. At least the lecturer has his/her home to go back to. And he/she already has food supply. Unlike us lowly beings who have to budget our asses off just to get our meals. Look, I’m not blaming anyone, but if I end up as a piece of stick (more than I already am) by the end of the short sem, I would SO be provoked to sue. Or, I could just ram a thick chemistry text book down their throats and see how they like it.

Positive side? Uh, free internet… … … … … …that’s it…whatever…

Kouda Entry 04: The World is a F’d up place…

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Found this article on the net: http://www.1pstart.com/student-arrested-for-suspected-terrorist-activity/

It goes:

"A Chinese student has been arrested in Texas, charged with
“Suspected Terrorist Activity”. This student was apprehended after
parents discovered that he had used plans of his High School in the
creation of a map for an online first person shooter. The authorities
were notified after parents learned of the map from their children, who
had downloaded it off of the internet.

“They arrested him,” Chen said of FBISD police, “and
also went to the house to search.” The Lin family consented to the
search, and a hammer was found in the boy’s room, which he used to fix
his bed, because it wasn’t in good shape, Chen said. He indicated
police seized the hammer as a potential weapon.

While no charges have been filed against the student, he has been
removed from Clements High School and will not be allowed to graduate
with his former classmates."

 

What the hell!? Since when is making a map in 3d considered a "terrorist act"!? And arresting the kid because he had a HAMMER in his room!? A gun, I can understand. A chainsaw, maybe. But, a HAMMER for godsakes~!!! Honestly, some people in the world can be seriously fucked up upstairs. So, what, EVERY single gamer in the world is a terrorist-to-be? And I suppose every single game-MAKER in the world is a terrorist-trainer, then? If that’s the case, then I’m probably considered both. And I’m not even getting paid for it. Deng~!

To all you self-righteous bastards who think games are the harbingers of human doom; Get a life! The most games could do is ruin your grades, and probably break up a relationship. If you’re gonna go around blaming games for terrorist attacks, might as well blame the TV shows for giving ideas. While you’re at it, blame the news for showing the FLAWS in previous terrorist plans. Oh, and blame all lecturers for causing pent up tension in students whenever they give assignments that are just plain ridiculous and give you a friggin B even though you deserve an A…minus…ok, B+, whatever.

THE POINT IS!!!! There are  a lot of variables in the world. A lot of reasons for things to happen. A lot of triggers for disaster to occur. And a lot of targets for you finger-pointers to aim for. So, at the very least, find a LOGICAL reason when you’re gonna arrest someone. "We’re putting you under arrest cuz we have a pretty good hunch" isn’t gonna cut it! If you’re STILL gonna go around doing the "spin the badge and arrest whoever it points to" routine, then might as well arrest them donuts for puttin them cops in slow, one-way road to gut cancer.

P.s:
Check under your beds people. Who knows, them idiots might arrest you for finding a piece of plastic and considering it as "a possible nuclear warhead" or sumthin. I’m no professional, chemist, but, yeah…
