Dread

Currently in the college lounge typing this post. I'm supposed to have 8 hours of class today but somehow the lazy bones got the better of me and I took 2 off just to slack and do nothing. The unfortunate subject? Market Research. The syllabus is so boring and dreadful it actually takes the inquisitiveness associated with research based subjects directly out from me. The plus side though, I got to play around with my camera's macro mode this morning when my classmates camera failed to take a close up shot of an accessory which I suppose is from his girlfriend. For a 500 ringgit phone you get quality pictures. The downside to this...



The college computers have to bluetooth adapters. :(



Two thumbs up to Sony Ericsson though for making this phone, the K550i

Over the weekend...

Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to spend all my time going places in the PJ area along with my girlfriend cum tour guide. Among the things I managed to discover are:

1) Wall.E was a decent movie from the second half of the movie onwards.

2) Amcorp Mall exceeds expectations and is definitely NOT a run down/boring place to be.

3) A&W's fried chicken is oh-so-good and not to mention healthier than KFC's selection any day.

4) Sri Murni in SS2 serves Chinese-style tasting pasta to those who seldom have Western cuisine.

5) Napoleon fried rice is definitely worth a try

6) Rapid KL has terrible bus frequency and punctuality. Maybe that's why Metrobus is still in business now.

7) Don't mess with the Zohan is not that bad of a movie and good to watch if you want to learn Israelish (Israeli english accent) and what Hamas and Hezbollah is actually good for

8) October is a very very wet season and a great time to hunt for a new umbrella.

9) Always ask if your friends are going for class before you end up going alone empty handed. Oh reliable acquaintances, where art thou?

The things above definitely made my weekend. I'm too lazy to post up any pics because i have an old laptop which does it at snail speed +1. Keep reading and commenting, I may just oblige by posting more :) Have a nice day.

Conform?

I've spent the last few days thinking about something. Am I doing enough currently to prepare for the future? I came to realize that I might not graduate from university with a very nice CV at the rate I'm going. Watching other friends being so active in activities does make me wonder. Yes, I may have the skills to market myself, but do i have the credentials to prove it? All of this started when i started looking at internship requirements for companies such as British American Tobacco, Citibank, Sony and other companies which require a management trainee. Just thinking of those names made me realize that they were in fact multinational corporations who would not consider any average Joe as their intern.
So, that's it. I surely do hope i have the motivation to take that first step to involve myself in at least ONE co-curricular activity in college. *sigh*. Playing games for a living cannot really apply in this world and generation I'm in now eh? World standards say that the recipe for success is good skills and a good CV. Should I conform or would I...
