27th October

Well. 27th of this month is surely a unique day. Why? Let me go into further details.

1. pGURU meeting
This is the first. And it seems that finally (yeah, finally!) they have decided about the executives (EXCO) for the association. No doubt, I am taking the EXCO of publishing and information. At the same time, this EXCO has changed the name into ICT for this year.

At the beginning, I thought this is not a hard job, but then, I think it is... pathetic. Heard that pguru got its own website and launched at previous semester. However, when I viewed to it, there are numerous codings and not even a thing inside! The website is also too long for them to type. Just wonder making a blog (but stupid procedures and rules about copyright or whatever...) will be easier, isn't it? Guess I will starting to have a hard time on this for the next semester.

2. Friend's birthday
Well, think about birthday, surely think about the trouble. So far I am only celebrating my friend's birthday. Wonder if I got the chance to celebrate mine? All 4 of my friends had celebrated their birthday and today I and my friends celebrated her birthday at her house. Sure thing to say, it is crowded at her house. At least we still have the good time and she is happy too.

3. Friend's issue
I don't know how to say about it, but just want to know is the competition on the scores are important? Frankly, my pointer is just 3.++ and I don't have the intention into any list or whatever we call it. The thing I need to do is just survive for the whole university life and maintain at least a 3 pointer for my better future. So please, friends, stop spreading words that I am self-centered or whatever (if not then I will not volunteer myself to do so much jobs and helping you all)... Like it or not, being honest and indirect sometimes are my personality. It can be my strength and my weakness sometimes, as I hate to do the appearance making.

4. Others
Yeah, I got plenty of photoes and I am arranging. It is about the SIE at my area as well as the carnival of co-curricular activity at my school. Give me some time as I am busy on my assignment and hopefully I can done it within this week.

Fire Alarm and...

What can you imagine when the fire alarm in your dormitory 'rings' at the midnight?

I experienced that just yesterday. What I can tell I am totally 'blank' as I am not sure that either the alarm is real or something goes wrong with the alarm. After a few minutes of confusion and perhaps... chaos in the beginning, and then it seems that the alarm was faulty or maybe somebody disturbed the alarm.

Today, I am almost in rage. Thanks to our psychology lecturer, teaches us nothing but tests us everything. I just realise that he is even more insane than one of my lecturer and even certain lecturers. Try to imagine. Can you finish everything unless you try your luck for answering at least 120 MCQ, then followed with some structure, and also essay questions?! Gosh, ALL OF THESE IN 120 MINUTES! He is totally insane and frankly to say, I am pissed off with this fella! Cannot imagine there is a lecturer that is even worse.

I would prefer to get a 14 hour credit for this semester, or maybe a TD for my result slip, rather than study nothing and get no knowledge, and what he did in the lectures are talking rot and nonsense. 14 weeks of a lecture and he showed up at the 8th week, with a total of less than 6 lectures for the rest of the week, we need to hand in our assignment, and also have the midterm and this and that...

Sigh. What result I can get for this semester? A lot of courses that dragging my pointer down for this semester. I am dissapointed, and worried.

Guess there is nothing special for the moment as there is no any special events except last friday, the meeting of my school about the election of pGURU.

What to say... I have gained an EXCO posistion that I wanted to be, that is called what... at the moment is called as EXCO Penerbitan dan Informasi. I think this is the field that suits me the best as I am not interested on the higher posistion (actually I did think about it, but frankly, I did not put up a lot of hope on those posistion).

Actually, the main thing I am going to hold about is - the 'warranty' and also the priority on live at the hostel. Now I am relieved as I will no need to join so many activities and I can learn about new things.

Hopefully everything goes fine. Especially for this 'final week' as I am going to be dead meat. Tons of assignments...

pGURU

Well.. I'm going to inform all of you that I am going to compete for pGURU for this Friday. So far, the representatives for TESLian are:

Me,
Garry,
Lawson,
Kak Rahmah,
Firhan,
Angie.

For the moment, the information I gathered regarding to the election or what is on this Friday, 8 to 12pm at Auditorium of SPPS. For my friends that who have class, you can come by after 10, and please vote for us so that we can prove to them that we are active.

I have no idea about the manifesto that I am going to write, I might just simply babbling and talking rot with a brief introduction.

No matter what is the result or not... I thank you in advance for your future support in this Friday. Looking forward to see you there.

We got people stuck in between the walls, and now we got the cat stuck between the 'fence and the window'. It know how to get in but 'dunno' how to get out. Wonder it was stuck inside for how long.

Struggle for few hours (ignoring and attempt to attack somebody that try to save it) and finally it went out free.

Seems to be another boring week again, rushing for assignments. Hopefully there will not be any issue that can be raised about as there are a lot of troubles coming from here and there.

Perhaps one of my lecturer mentioned is correct - they (especially my coursemates) should know to use the thinking of research on this.

Gala night is coming, and I am troubled with my current assigment in my future semester - the Spanish Family Day. Hopefully it will not raise up any problems as this is the first time I am doing this.

Going to write out a huge ranting within these days and look forward to the content inside. What I am ranting in the future might just have a strike onto you. Correct me if I am wrong if wrote something questionable in the post I am going to do in these days. Skip that ranting if you are not mature enough to think rationally.

The Community Thread Released.

Yo.

Going to inform that I have just set up a board that is similar to LMS, and now currently named as The TESLian Forum and Online Community.

Hopefully that this will be one of the places for us to go when we are surfing the internet.

The address of this discussion board is:

The tutorial question for Reading - Click Here (Reminder: In this archive, there are 3 images, count as Page 1 to 3. If you cannot view it, just zoom in the pictures and there are some parts are not really clear. This file size is quite huge [2.3MB], take your time to download and it is resumeable by using download accelerator to fasten your download). I purposely do so to save time, money and papers. So you can directly download it from here, easy for you as well...

The tutorial question for Listening - Click Here [It is around 2.1MB.] I have another link at the forum too, review there if you need help for the tutorial or cannot download it.

Yeah... It seems that this has caused an issue as well. This is a compressed .zip file. You will need to use WinRar, WinZip or any similar program to this to extract the compilation. Then after you extracted it, there will appear 3 image files which you can use any of the image viewer or editing program such as Paint, Microsoft Photo Viewer to view the photos.

Another thing. These are all image files. You must unzip the archive before you open the files (like WinZip or WinRar), and then use any image editing or MS Photo Gallery to preview on the picture, and it is done. You cannot open with Word...

How to find Win Rar?
1. Go to www.rarlab.com/download.htm and download it (Current version is 3.80, might got updates from time to time).
2. Click Here to download it.
