Rotten.net 2.0, Fucked up script.

My five weeks haven't really been productive, maybe because I'm not doing things to help myself. I just feel bummed everyday, the moment I step into the ETG lab. I sort of envy this guy opposite me because his supervisor now and then visits him and assist him yet not spoon-feeding him. My supervisor on the other hand only gave me deliverables, keeps telling me asp.net is a simple drag and drop thing, blah blah.

Fuck that, time to help myself because it's the mid-presentation next week.

I'm sick, looks like New Year won't be happening for me after all.

zZz

I've just been caught sleeping in lab again, by the manager of my department. Not very lucky these days, of 3 times I had napped, twice was busted. I don't know what the fuck in the blue world he does as a manager but he's always walking about like he's at a pasar malam, prey for dozers like me.

Me: "zZz... zZz..."

Manager: "HEY! You come to my office!"

Me: "zZz... ???"

Manager: "Take a seat."

Me: *sits*

Manager: "Why are you sleeping in class?"

Me: "Dozed."

Manager: "Many times already you know?"

Me: *thinks: Twice only what??* "Uh."

Manager: "Your name? Who is your supervisor?"

Me: "Yit Jing, Mr Cheong."

Manager: "Too free is it? Nothing to do, too boring or what?"

Me: "No, not really." (I was still in a daze from the sleep, so I lied. Could've just told him it's a fucking boring project I was doing.)

Manager: "Then why you sleep?!"

Me: *thinks: Thought I told you???* "Dozed."

Manager: "You work so you sleep late is it?"

Me: "No."

Manager: "2nd week only you like that, do you know I can fail and retain you?"

Me: "Yeah."

Manager: "Then why you sleep?!"

Me: *thinks: You asked me twice, I replied you twice, now what the fuck?!* "Tired, I try.. I mean there won't be a 3rd time."

Manager: "May I have your insurance you don't sleep in class again?"

Me: "Uh."

Shit, bad insurance I've made but can I say no? And I think he needs new specs, my groupmate had been AWOL-ing for quite a few times including today and he didn't even notice. Teaches me one thing - Absent myself before sleeping at the library.

10 weeks to go, still like a dodo.

Tuesdays to Fridays are the New Monday Blues

During the third day of FYP, I was late by and hour and my DT found out because he made and early round to check on us. That's pretty bad so I've decided to lie low, by reaching earlier by 30mins. I was quite lucky since after Wed, because no spot checks were made.

But somehow, I think may not be that simple. Maybe right behind the nanny cam, we're all under close surveillance. To reach early, I've started to bring some of my morning to-dos into school instead. So if you sight any joker brushing his teeth and styling his hair in one of the block S toilets, it'll probably be me or some idiot that've read this.

Suggestions to reach school on time:

  • Breakfast in school
  • Wash your face in school
  • Style your hair in school
  • Do whatever make-up in school
  • Bathe in school
This guide however doesn't apply on girls because I think almost none of them would take half a step out of their door ungroomed.

Just now while I was listening to music on my earphones, my system was suddenly muted and I couldn't unmute it. Without much thought, I guessed it was the DT disabling my audio from his machine but it was later unmuted. I'll really go insane if music is banned. Anyway this guy in my lab always broadcasts his chinese pop on the mobile. Irritating, noisy but at least there is some sort of noise.

Last weekend, dad took me to some dirt tracks around my place. It was quite a rocky yet comfortable drive. You feel like sleeping when there's a constant and slow rocking motion. The scenery was good, although it was merely a closed sea. Rare sights were the building of a dam and a huge seagull, wingspan at about 80cm. I accidentally scractched the lorry's bumper while going down a steep turn. Time to get an official license.
