i goT a rAiSe?!... WeLL iLL bE....

Hey Boo,
After days of slavery… and not being able to blog or update myspace, friendster or anything; and after a whole day of zzzz’s yesterday… I’ve decided to tart reposting today… a new resolution… will not let work get in the way of my blog…
So what have happened since the 18th?! Frankly, so much have happened I don’t even remember!!!
Classes have been okay I would say… the tutorial I have to mark are still lying on the to do section of my filing cabinet… since too many tings have been occupying my desk space lately, I’ve decided to move my to-dos over the cabinet… well, it still lying there cursing me everyday… telling me what a lazy fat-ass I have been… oh wait, that’s just my imagination…
The trip to Alamanda Putrajaya with Anna was beneficial I guess… the Teddy’s Dream oil from Lovely Lace is heavenly… my room smells so good now… who gives a fuck even if it’s girly to have nice smelling rooms… I like it… and that’s how it should stay… smelling nice…
Oh, I should say I got a raise too… some revision on the allowance or something like that… so my pay has increased a few hundred… I dun get it… but I am not complaining… hehehe
Let’s see… what else can I write about…?! It’s times like these I envy MikeL and SmashPOP…. They’re never out of ideas… I guess some people are just better at expressing themselves… I never have been the one much for words… even back in school my essays used to be short and direct… on the other hand, I’ve been labeled the chatterbox by quite a few… I guess, I am more the talker and not the writer… but who gives a shit?!
I did get some pictures of me at Ikano the other day… will post that later… it’s on the other hard-disk.
Oh btw, the DVD writing project is going well… my hard-disk is freeing space, I can watch my movies and animes on my DVD player; and best of all I can start downloading again with my free space… yaay for me…
Slowly getting used to my new phone… don’t know why I got the N-Gage QD?! I haven’t tried the games… well not really… hehe… will get around to it…
Here it is…

I’ll write more soon…
Bless…

Nocheinmal, bitte langsam!

Today was the usual ass shaping day where I have to work my ass walking back and forth to Linguistics Fac busy day for me… had classes from 2 to 7. In the morning I had some extra Separations 2 tutorial requested by my overenthusiastic students. I know I am busy and that time could be used to settle of some of the pending matters but I just can’t say no… I like teaching what can I say… the preparation is horrendous but I think its well worth it. Slept at 3 am yesterday trying to figure out to explain what wet bulb temperature is so they’d understand… but they didn’t… I guess you can’t win em’ all… but the class was okay overall I would say. I managed to go through question 2, which everyone was asking about within that one hour… and I also sorted out my name… Shazrin I told them to call me… was quite irritated to be called Tutor! Tutor!...

German was quite fun today… although I was caught off guard when the lecturer asked Wie alt sind Sie? I stared at her dumbfounded… it was almost a minute before I managed vierundzwanzig Jahre alt … but she wasn’t too pissed… considering I had been drilling Ich bin Shazrin. Ich bin vierundzwanzig Jahre alt. I was quite surprised that I’d freeze like that… but I think I can manage the Wie haißen Sie? Wo wohnen Sie?… oh well… she showed the class some corny German video… it was quite amusing… had the “happy family game” afterwards…

Spanish was rather bland today… just learning a few conjugations and stuff like that…

Dead tired by the time I get back…

Need rest…

Bless…

Hey boo…
Just got back from French class… and now sipping coffee in front of my PC… today’s lesson was rather cute, but then again French is always cute… it’s German that’s killing me… for now that is.
Oh well…
The day sure started with momentum, a momentum of shitloads of work that is… I told Abah to drop me off at the main office as usual… a quick peak at my pigeonhole and I see a bunch of papers and a fat brown envelope. As usual, I sighed like any spoilt fat ass lazy bitch who expects to be paid for nothing as usual… they were actually tutorial sheets Professor Ali left for me to mark. I’ll look at it later I thought because this Wednesday will be lecture class and not tutorial… meaning good ole’ Shaz will be in his room getting other crap off his back…
I finally managed to hook up the DVD writer to the PC at home over the weekend. Anna and Zul decided to sleep over because Mama won’t let them take Puteri home… she’s not fully recovered after all and all that moving might very well make her sick again. Oh well, that’d give me and Tanti some time off Puteri… not that we’re complaining… well, Tanti mostly because she’s the one with the baby all the time… anyways, we managed to get some of the animes into some DVDs meaning we’d be able to free some space on the HDD… more downloading in the future for sure…
The weekend was rather relaxing I would say… me at least… I tried to stay away from the PC (apart from writing files to DVDs) even though I was supposed to get some work done. I’ll do it during the week… I figured… so much for making up my mind eh?!
Anyways, I was the scribe on Friday for the department meeting… I didn’t blog about that now did I?! Well, basically I just sit and write every crap that everyone says and prepare the minutes later… great huh?! Hehehe thankfully the meeting didn’t last so long… maybe everyone was eager to leave because it was raining and it was after all a Friday afternoon. All the better for me. Started drafting the minutes after the meeting…
Since I’m a little dry of ideas… now would be a good time to post some pictures of my office my office… hehehe
This is my air-cond… took them months to get it installed…

This is my notice board… where I post all my junk… notice the DMC pictures... hehehe


This is my desk… where I… do stuff lah… :P

My trusty PC… where I sit and blog… and do useless stuff like that…

My filing cabinet…

My white board….


Oh ok… that was pointless…
Anyways, this is MY space… MY office… hehehe all mine 

bOriNggggg....

Hi boo…
Yesterday, or Thursday rather, was a really exhausting. The schedule is tight and required some 10 minutes brisk-walk 3 times back and forth bur somehow it was extra tiring…
My morning was interrupted by a student asking about the tutorial problems and I ended spending the whole morning going through the whole thing with him. I had barely checked my email. I can always tell when I am behind my work… there’d be piles of email in the Follow Up folder in Outlook. Well, to date there are over 20… I only managed to steal some time to drop by louyau.net for a quick read. I can’t remember now but I think he hadn’t updated yet. Then I was replying some smses and it was two o’clock before I got through all of em’. So it was the first marathon of the day, I had to walk to the Linguistics Faculty for my German class.
I arrived late and had to sit in the second row. Something I haven’t done in ages and for some reason I felt as if I am behind the class. I don’t know; German seems kind of difficult for now. Then I rushed back to my office hoping I could get some work done.
Just to give you a picture… I had bought an external DVD writer two weeks ago and it’s still in the bag. I’ve not had the time to unpack the damned thing. And I really wanted the DVD writer…
So I left for class leaving my PC, ac and lights on thinking I’d come back to sort some more things before I leave. After class, Abah was already waiting at Linguistics so I told him to stop by my office only to find the main door locked. So I had to leave the lights and other stuff on overnight. I hope no one complains.
I was extra tired I guess because I arrived home, changed, had dinner and went straight to bed. I think it was a little after 8.
Today wasn’t very productive as well, I dunno… maybe I am getting over sloppy and lazy… but I have made up my mind. I will get most of it done over the weekend.
So I am stopping here for now.
Bless all.

tagboard acting up....

mikel: yeah.. much... thank you very much... how are you btw?
pOp: me too... cant over it...
rejwild: yeah.. thanx for dropping by...

tHe cOmEbAcK...

So what’s my freaking excuse this time for not blogging for the past twelve days or so?!... What could be more fucking important that bitching to the world about my daily miseries…?! Well, for starters Mama and Abah had to go to Labuan for the weekend so me, Puteri and Tanti were conveniently dumped at Anna’s place… I know were are both way over twenty and can take care of Puteri at home, but who’s going to drive me to work?! not being able to drive suddenly makes me feel like such a cripple
So, I would leave with Zul in the morning and Anna/Zul would pick me up later… Thursday was fine because Zul had to drop something off at SS2 so we took our sweet time, had breakfast and all before he dropped me off at my office… he liked morning drop-offs so he could check in late for work… I guess the morning traffic is really getting to him… oh well… that day went on a dull-ly as any day could get… oh… went crazy with the camera… will post some pictures of my office… *smiles*
On Friday, Zul had to be in on time so we had to park the car at Kelana Jaya station and take the LRT… so there I was, out with peasants early in the morning… taking the LRT no less…
Salam came over to check on his myspace and all sorts on my PC… and keep me company of course… I’d just go crazy alone… with all those work to do.
Anyways…
yaay for getting that job Salam…
So I thought I’d take him out for dinner or something… to celebrate and thank him for keeping me company all this while… oh, June had an interview at COMBICAT that day… so he tagged along too. They picked Secret Recipe at MidValley to go for dinner… June had some sort of kebab dish and Salam had the Thai fried rice… the food wasn’t really that good… but that’s not the story… you see it was raining and I had late lunch that day, and some stupid meeting… and you know what meeting translates to when you work in the government… yeah… say it with me… FOOD!!! so I wasn’t really that hungry at all… and I just ordered a cappuccino for myself… being that I love coffee and all…
So after a while my oversized cup with the froth and all came… I was all excited with anticipation… and I took a sip… *yucks* it was not hot… I hadn’t added the sugar to it yet but I don’t think it’d dissolve… the damned thing might as well be on ice… so I waved my bitch hands for the waiter…
Me: My coffee is not hot…
The waiter nodded and took my cup…
A while passed… Salam and June were almost through with their plates…
My coffee came back…
I took a sip… hoping… *yucks!!!* it’s still cold… so I took my cup and splashed it on his head…!!!
what the fuck is wrong with people…?! did they make coffee over lunch and line em’ up on the counter to save time when people order or what?! They might as well have stirred coffee into iced water… and I am not exaggerating…
I looked at Salam…
Me: Would I be a bitch I returned my cup again?!...
Salam: Yeah!!! You’d be a major bitch… *nodding*
Me: Oh who gives a damn…
I motioned for the waiter again…
Me: My coffee is cold… I returned it earlier… feel the cup… it’s not hot…
The waiter kept a straight face… while I showed him how the cup wasn’t even warm… he took my cup and left… I could only imagine the words that must be running through his brain…
Oh well…
After a while coffee came… I’ll be damned if I have to return this one too…
Me: You wait here… I want to make sure this is right this time…
The waiter had to force a smile while I sipped my coffee… finally… coffee…
It wasn’t good coffee… but at least it’s coffee…
Me: see… at least the cup is hot… thank you…
He left…

So that was my adventure with coffee… so never screw with Shazrin’s coffee coz’ Shazrin will get mad!!!

Saturday and Sunday wasn’t much either… just the usual ole’ week over at Anna’s…
Did a little shopping at Alamanda Putrajaya… hmmm… that’s about it…

Monday… now there’s something… my first Separation 2 class with the students…
The class was rather big… 63 students… mostly in their third year.
I was five minutes late for my class so I made an entrance and was introduced by Professor Ali: … this is your very young and handsome tutor…
Sheesh…
I settled down a while and then Professor Ali handed me the class…
The first thing I taught my students was how to read the psychromatric chart…
There I was standing in front of 63 students armed with the trusty OHP, transparencies and marker… one hour really flies when you are teaching… didn’t get to cover much as it was their first time with the chart so some of em’ couldn’t really digest what I was ranting about in front…
But I felt good… I mean all this while I know I like it when people have to listen to me ramble and rant, but this time they actually have to pay attention as well… and it felt good… I was actually teaching… doing my bit for mankind…
My first step… to becoming Professor Shazrin… hehe nice ring to it…
So now the world would not be scarce of those who can decipher the psychromatric chart…
The rest of the day went by like lightning… I had so much to do… curse paper work… curse administrative work… curses…

Tuesday… slept till 4pm… ate… slept…

Today… continued with my class… today is actually an extra class because it’s a three credit subject but we’ve been loosing our Mondays to the holidays so we needed this…
I was a little more comfortable standing in the front… actually I was comfortable before… today I am just savoring it… topic of the day was still humidification and dehumidification… it’s nice to have 63 pair of eyes gawk at you for an hour while you go on and on… before I knew it, my one hour was up, my finger were black from the ink, and Dr Wan Ashri was already at the door… together with his Reaction Engineering class…
I had some students tail me to my office needing some clarification on some of the examples we solved in class… chit chatted with them for a while and it was almost noon…
Dr Kheireddine was breathing down my neck for his posters… I worked on it for a while… putting the pictures I took in place… converted the file to .pdf format and emailed him… 12:30 called Ramang for lunch…
1:00 went back to office to work on the posters again… 1:45 left for my French class…
The ten minute walk was hot and boring… yeah what else is new… :P
3:30 class was over… rushed to the main faculty building for the TechPos 06 committee meeting… more food… 4:45 meeting with Dr Kheireddine about the posters…
5:15 finally I get time to myself to read my emails…
A click of send/receive on my Outlook and the mails come pouring in…
Then more dreadful news came… Dept. Meeting… 13/1/2006… Scribe: Raja Shazrin…
Arrrgghhhh…. Damn it… oh well, got to do it sometime… can’t expect Dr Ngoh to do it all the time… oh well…
Checked myspace… chatted a bit… and that’s my day… my boring and dull day…
Oh well…
Am going to do my blog rounds now…
Oh… I’ve missed so much….
Bless all…
