This Kid!

Ok, so one question. When u're in a queue to buy some stuffs from the counter or maybe just to queue to take a bus, was there any person behind u seemed to be in hurry more than u, but just to buy the same stuffs or take the same bus, and gave u the pressure to move faster? I don't know bout u, but I really pissed when somebody do that to me.

Let me tell u my story. It was 1st August night. Me, Ninja and Ramlee went to the MBO to watch The Mummy: The Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. That was alright. We first went to the automated ticket buying machine. So we arrived late, and the good seats were all taken, then we were having trouble to get "semi-good seat" (lol). While we were still figuring out which seat to take, then out of nowhere there were 2 mid 40s couple behind us, and the husband suddenly said to us: "Ticket ada lagi ke? (Are there any tickets left?)". Me, still doing some thinking with Ramlee were like, politely answered him. After that the guy was like scold us to be hurry. When I heard that, I felt my blood rushing to all of my blood streams. A sign that I'm getting pissed. That was still cool. The guy mumbling with his wife, then he said : "Budak Ini! (This Kid!)". Pergh!!! What the FUCK?! At that moment, I felt like smashing his face with the chair besides me. Swear to God. But I kept my cool, and got 3 terrible seats!


One thing I wanna say here, didnt mean to be disrespect or anything. I know we took quite some time to decide, but hey, we're like u, we pay to watch the movie. Its not like we're going watch it for free damn it! I didnt enjoy the movie one bit, thanks to that guy! And I'm not a kid! U gotta give some to get some right? (I meant the respect thing kay?) So my advice is, if u came late, just be the late comers. Dont push other people around like u're the only one who wanna buy stuffs. Be patience. Patience is a virtue, ever heard of that? Shit~~

IT Quiz in IT Fair

Ok, so on last Saturday (July 5th), there was an activity called IT Quiz which was held in conjunction with the IT Fair in MMU from July 4th - July 6th. Rahim and me were the committee for the event and we carried out our tasks really good, and everything went really smooth (at least that's what I think). Only the student of St. Francis High School were participated in the Quiz (don't ask me why only them). And team Pink (or their other alias, Crabby Fatty) was the champion of the Quiz.

There were few things that happened on that very day. First the IT Crowd "incident", and the other one was the sudden change of ending which really tripped some of us.

Firstly, the IT Crowd incident.
I was in charged to bring the "between-break" videos for the kids (well, not so "kids", their age ranges from 13 to 17 years old. talk about fair in this game). I thought, "hmm, I should bring the sitcom from Britain called "The IT Crowd" for them to watch, since it was the IT Quiz day.". Me, didn't what I did the night before the event, forgot to screen which episode I should bring. So I took 15 minutes before going to the venue which we should be there at 8. Well everything went ok until the break came. Rubern asked me to play the video and I did. And how foolish I was by thinking that it is cool for the kids to watch something that have vulgar words. After a few minutes the video played, suddenly one of the character said "bitch". Rubern, me, and Cell, was stunned, and we looked at the teacher who brought them there. She stopped laughing for a moment. Then after quite some times, everything went to normal again. The teacher came to her laughing moment again. Then I'm trying to recall whether are there any more dirty words in the video. Suddenly, the sentence "You f...... idiot!! You stupid old f......." hit me. Owh yeah. One of the character will swears to and old man. Not a very good example to the kids right?
I told Rubern, and we both panicked. Rubern and U quickly rushed to the PC to stop the video, and we stopped the video just the right moment before the sentence came out. Talk about close call.


The second incident:
Well, this one I'm not quite sure what happened. But all I know is after we planned every activity that we'll do, suddenly Amar, one of our group mate suggested that we should do a final IQ question which doesn't involve anything about the IT, and we all have to spend our own money to buy a present for the winner. I saw some of the group faces really pissed but didn't say anything. One of the group member telling me that we already came out the ideas, blah blah blah, he should've told us earlier, blah blah blah. I just listened, cause I don't give a fuck bout the extra question. And the funny thing is, they snatched the question from Bruce Willis' movie "Die Hard 3" question and ask the St. Francis students to answer it. I was like, what the fuck? Well, after that, everything was fine. Everyone was happy, especially that one kid who got the answer and won himself a 4Gig thumb drive. Lucky guy (I bet he watched the movie).

This is when the students were answering
the questions

between me and the girl. can't explain :D)

+ another RM 100 in your student fees.

So the Finance Division is planning to impose a RM100/year IT service fee on all students. From there,it will be used to upgrade the Melaka Campus bandwidth from 16 Mbps to 32 Mbps. Besides, some of the portions will be used for the maintenance of the IT service in the campus, like the MMLS systems, the course registration systems, the wireless service in the campus, and other online systems.

Ok, my question is, why in the hell that we, students of MMU need to pay for the so called "IT service" in the first place? Isn't MMU is labeled with the university of Information Technology? Well that could make me laugh for the whole day (heck, I'm laughing till my eyes fill with tears now). And the SRC (Student Representative Council, who the president we elected every year and year but nothing good come out from it, well, maybe a little) still trying to get the feedback from the student bout this matter. If you go to the SRC's blog, there are lots of, no wait, ALL of them are disagreed/pissed off/unsatisfied with the matter.

Here are some interesting events happened when the new president of MMU (which was transfered from UNITEN, replacing our beloved Mr. Ghauth Jasmon) since last year:

- The rule of student barring is more stricken (attendance below 75%, barred; lecturers can't do anything; can't even talk with the Dean).

- The additional of RM 100 (yeap, we had this problem once, and it is happening again, are they trying to make it as a traditions or something? Fuck!). This is for the Library maintenance. But later after the SRC had some "talk" with the people upstairs, we just have to pay RM 80. Wow! Reasonable eh? Ha!

- They want to abolish the use of MMLS, but that turned out to be a joke. Some clowns got nothing to do and spread the lies to the students. Really got us there...


So, I can see that, new president, new policy, lot of people trying to get nasty around here, and the new president allowed it. Haiz...

Why can't they just use a portions of the library fees to cover for the maintenance and stuffs?? Too sengal to handle.... Arrggghhh!!!! Tensi... tensi....
