Picaro’s Log

It has been a long time not having the feel of " the world is so wonderful" since the Haze-ardous days. Clear sky, breezy wind and fresh air without harsh and glare sun, after the down pour. Thats the weather the I most adore. Today is a good day, I see rainbow, good weather after the rain, met a nice, polite and pretty interviewer , feeling good after an interview ( which I never experienced before) - I guess, its a good sign huh?

Well, before the clear sky, it was the down pour - before my good mood of the day, that was a little hiccup - a little arguement with mom in the early morning. An arguement in the early morning wasn’t a sign - in my interview day. The stubbornness of mine push me to go for the unfamiliar road - the shortcut to the highway ( everyone in the family knew the way, but the don’t know how to show me - so the only thing I could do - explore it myself ! )  Apart of avoiding the massive jam at Puchong, I gotta prove to her that I could find my way. I went with no fear with my little memory of that unfamiliar road, natural instinct and the most important — following others car !! After the journey of long, winding and slopy path in the rain, I manage to be there! Happily on the flyover, I, watching those car underneath, bumper-to-bumper with each other in the massive jam - and I with a malicious smile - " KEkekekekeeee…" I am sorry if anyone of u guys who reading this was one stucked in the traffic - I don’t mean to be evil-minded, I was just to excited to got the way!

So, who say stubborn isn’t a good thing? Well, at least I got what I want, no ??

After a week, finally got the chance to take the stage photos of the convo. Without any guidance, I tried my luck to search for the shop without any direction…. what i know is.. the shop is at SS2… so what to do… just try my luck at SS2. Well, my luck doesnt bad. The shop itself is not hard to spot but  looking for a parking is killing me.

After walking few blockes away, I was at the shop. Browsing the albums full of folks in the same robe, the same angle of photo shots is really a headache. Kept browsing back n fore , finally i got my photos…. em.. although not 100% sure whether its me…. shot the side view of mine.. em.. less the 50% of my face. I doubt it at the beginning, but after following the sequance of friends.. and c’est moi !! Violà, One pic of shaking hand with chancelor, one pic of receiving the scroll, one pic of walking down the stage… and - another ugly cat walk off the stage - with a MMU logo that worth 10 bucks ( 10 bucks for a piece of photo)!!!! heh!!

I am broke already……… even without doing those texturing, media print n studio shots stuff…….. ~ pk already~

Wondering how to type ç , à, è etc?
Voilà , here are some codes to type the accents . It helps to save you a lot of time from inserting symbols from Ms words.

-hold down the ALT key, then type the three or four digits listed here.
- must type the numbers with the numeric keypad, not with the row of numbers across the top of your keyboard.

Sat 13 Aug - It is the third class of level 2, but the class seems dead. All the noise, fun and liveliness were once in the class are disappeared. The syllabus are getting tougher and tougher. I wasn’t in a good mood and couldn’t pay full attention - Marina was angry with me on the class … I didnt feel good. Perhaps, I should work harder on it - I always  keep hard to memorise the le , la , les, au, aux…stuff. The " I like to learn, don’t like to study" attitude of mine makes memorising a tough mission to me. I never ever escape from the lullaby after reading 2 pages of texts. Giving up the course is a big no-no , eventhough its tough. But what i gonna do huh? Any effecient way to have good memory? Any one could help?

7 Aug 2005 - the big day of mine after struggling for 4 years in MMU. I supposed to be really excited on that day, but guess what… I have no feeling of excitement at all… the memory on the stage receiving the scroll from Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah is blank…… The memories on my minds bout convo are the troublesome process before it - First, changes of convo date from sat to sun (a week before convo), I pity the mmu staff - calling 200+ FCM student informing all of us about the changes. Then, gotta re-scheadule the plan - the plan of having a last night together with buddies is cancelled - Second, travelled all the way to Ayer Keroh - stucked in the traffic jam outside the hall for briefing - and end up leaving the hall after 20 mins, rushing to be a sweat - salted sardine squeezing in the queue for 2 hrs just to verify the smart card, collecting invitation card and robe. Getting to wear the "Four Square Hat" really not easy… four years of tears and sweats, rejections of ideas, redo-s, unbearable critics from lecs during crits, burning mid-night oil rushing for deadlines….but the greatest thing is get to know a bunch of buddies who we battle together to against the hard times. At the end, all our hard works get the repayment - we are all happily in our "Four Square Hat" - KAAA CHIAKKK……..
