No updates for a while...

It will be no updates for a while here. I am getting busy with works and classes right now.
16 credits hours + 17.30 hours of works took me my internet life away. Except from facebook I guess.
By the way, gud luck to those who had exams, Orgo, Microbe, Cell Bio, Data and Genetics and many more...

Jobless..!!

I do enjoy the first 2 days of class. Maybe because of the back-to-school spirits. But one of the lecturer talks so slow, I wish I can survive two hours in his class.

What's missing??
My management accounting class is super awesome. The lecturer used to apply the same class format as the last quarter class, and guess what, I did get the take-home exams and effort-based homework. The homework did count 45% of the course percentage and just submit all of it is enough. No need to be right for the answer. The exams, we get 2, yes TWO full weeks to do it. Nice one prof.

Now I'm jobless. I tried to contact my former supervisor for about two weeks but still no answer. It is pathetic to say this, but I officially self-declared myself to be jobless now. I tried to get another job soon. I already applied for tutor position and still waiting.

Who doesn't? Did we have duty free books?
The books are too expensive. One subject is about 200 USD and use it for 3 month minus the exam weeks and other, it just about 7 weeks. 30 dol per weeks or 15 dolar per class. That's expensive for us. But we came out with some economical solution. Either rent the books or buy the ebook and share it among 5 people. Excellent!!

Tonight will be the last night of Ramadhan. The last terawih for this year. I really hope to meet another Ramadhan next year.

Happy Eidfitri everyone. This year, I will celebrate it in Orgo and cell bio class.  Nevermind, that's a pricless experience is it? (I tried to think as positive as I can). Or maybe this will be some sort of practice so that I will not be so sad when have to celebrate eid in my wife's kampung later... Haha...



footnote:
I think I have an ideal time to update the blog. It is in the morning before class. Hope to published more post soon.

English please?

Dear Turkish, 

I know that you can live with your own language, you can't build a develop country with you own language unlike Malaysia. However, now I'm here at your Istanbul International Aiport, can't do several thing that easily been done when you used English. I would like to subcribe for internet here (TTNet Wifi) but I can't do it as I do not understand the instruction. Yes, you provide the subscription page with English translation, but I can't find any in your FAQ page and How To Use page. (I think I got the link correctly. Sorry I Don't understand it). I also can't understand your menu except several familiar word like nugget and etc. I am currently at the international departure hall, so using of English language is proper.. I'm not writing this as to offense anyone, just writing my concern. I been here twice already. 

By the time this post is published, I already leaving Istanbul. Once again, I did not want to offend anyone, but just writing my thought. 




*updated*
I canceled the schedules post and republished it now. I just don't have a good feeling about it before. 



of Kosher Meal and 10 hours flight....

I book a flight from an online agent Priceline.com from JFK to MAS. As I did not know which airline that I will be in at first, I request for special meals. My friend who bought Cathay Pacific Flight choose Moslem meal. However, this online agent did not have that option. So, I decided to take Kosher Meal at last. 


So when I board the Turkish flight to Istanbul 3 month ago, they did not have that special meal i guess because nothing about the special meal mention by the crew. Then when I board the MAS flight, they gave me the special meal ticket. I was like I boarding a Muslim Airliner and I will eat kosher food. I did not offense or doesn't like the kosher food, but as a Muslim, Halal food should be first priority. Luckily the steward was concern about that matter and I ask him to cancel the kosher meal option. I was relieve as I can enjoy the delicious meal in the plane. Yes, MAS airline provide you with delicious meal, at least, the most delicious one that you can get when you are at 40000 feet above the sea level. Case resolved.


Then, yesterday when I was at the KLIA airport to check in, the attendant there ask me to confirm that I ask for the special meals. She said, it can't be canceled anymore. Then, I think I can't cancel it on the plane as I did before. However, I CAN'T. Can you imagine I eat meals that is pack for last long, they freeze it and reheat it when they want to give it to me. The meals can last till 2012, so it like an instant food, without preservative anfd other. The more interesting fact is the person next to you eat the delicious Halal Nasi Lemak and Nasi Minyak. How depress I am. I really don't mind if those food is not Halal and I got the Kosher food, but it is the other way round. 


Now, I already in Turkish Airline Plane, and I hope they would give me the usual food that I used to eat 3 month ago. Who knows I got another Kosher Meal box again. 


I did not fast during the travel because the facts that I would fast almost 20 to 22 hours before I can break fast. This due to the time in USA which is late 12 hours than Malaysia. 


That's all the rambling while transit here. Got to go. Bye.
