Semester 1 is over.....

So I know I haven't been blogging for a really long time and I really can't be bothered to find an excuse if you ask why other than: Because I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE IT.

Anyway, some pictures to complete the tour of my university.

The indoor bar. Fish & Chips for 6 $ ^_^

Student Lounge. Don't really hang here that often though.

Comfy sofa's that get destroyed and mistreated my the students.

Inner Courtyard of the campus.

Pathway of DOOM ~ The walkway to my lecturers offices.

I suppose you can consider this as Cerberus's kennel.

MAC Lab.

Tutorial Room that I use.

Windows Lab.

Other than that, there really isn't much else of interest.

Semester 1 was fun. A bit hectic with some assignments, but nothing I couldn't handle. Exams were; in the first time in my life, an ABSOLUTE cinch. Just goes to show how pointless it was to study so hard and stupidly in a Malaysian high school and get retarded amounts of A's for your Sijil Pasar Malam which is worth next to nothing.

Unless of course, you want to stay on the sinking ship that is the Malaysian Economy.

So I've been doing some reading recently. Namely reading Richard Dawkins's book: "The God Delusion". Makes you realize how dumb you were when you used to (or still do) believe in religion.

Now, I'm not a religious person at all thankfully. But I do want to highlight the few major points of his book. Namely:

1) RELIGION IS SPREAD BY HEARSAY.

What made you believe in Religion? Your parents probably. Or maybe your friends whom you wanted to fit in to. What made your parents believe in Religion? Your grandparents probably or some variation thereof.

All it proves is that your parents brain-washed you into believing a grand delusion that a higher, more powerful being exist; passed down from generation to generation. Its just like how last time, everyone believed the world was flat or how the sun was thought to rotate around the earth.

Its like repeatedly telling an impressionable child: "I am God.". Sooner or later, he/she will really believe it so.

2) EVERY PERSON SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO CHOOSE

Mainly directing this point at Muslims.

You guys indoctrinate your children to believe in a "god" that requires you to pray 7X daily. When the child finally has the brains to realize what a grand farce this is, you silence them with violence.

You do not even give a chance for the child to speak. For you are such a zealot in your "rightful cause" that you are intolerant of anything that does not agree with you.

There are other religions as well, but Islam is the worst of them.

3) RELIGION ENCOURAGES THE WORSHIP OF GAPS

Let me first define what is the worship of gaps.

The worship of gaps is basically the worship of a deity due to the occurrence of a supernatural phenomenon that currently cannot be explained by scientific means.

Most obvious example would be the origin of life.

Because scientists cannot currently confirm the origin of life, religious zealots have the gall to take advantage of this to say that: "God DID IT!!" without a second thought. It extinguishes ideas because religion basically just tells you to STOP THINKING at once and just accept it.

Religion does nothing else really.

Now, here are some brain-less arguments that some religious people I know have come up with to justify why people should believe in God.

1) "Why not believe in God? If you don't, you'll wind up in hell. However, if you do, you'll get into heaven. If god doesn't exist, then no harm is done no?"

Well, firstly, this argument does nothing but THREATENS you to believe in god on pain of eternal damnation. It provides no evidence into the existence of God.

Secondly, it sounds as though you yourself aren't that into "GOD" itself and have some ulterior motive.

2) "BUT JESUS CHRIST WAS RESURRECTED!!!" or "THE QURAN IS THE WORD OF ALLAH!!:

If you're going to believe in some millennium old texts which were probably written by some douche, well you're pretty gullible aren't you?

Oh, BTW, you also owe me 3000AUD.

Anyway, this point links back to my previous statement about the worship of gaps. Just because some unexplained phenomenon happened, you instantly fill it with the simplest answer: "GOD DID IT!!".

I could go on and on, but you'd never hear the end of it. Maybe next time when the mood strikes me again.

To all religious people. Just know this. The next time you wish to try and ruin someone's life by asking them to believe in religion, please be a little more considerate that not everyone wants to believe in the grand hoax that you are subscribing to. If you wish to not use your brain then please keep that decision to yourself so as to not influence other people from becoming a brain-dead drone like you. Honestly, the world would be a better place without you as people's ideas would actually get a chance to grow unlike how you mindlessly stamp out your own.

Oh, do also note that I will be laughing silently at how stupid you are when you mention that you believe in god or some variation that leads to you worshiping "God". Blood relative or not. Just like how you choose to not listen to scientific and logical fact, I choose to be prejudiced against the likes of you people.

We can still be friends, but I will never really consider you as intellectually sound should you ever mention that you believe in god.

So now I'm on holiday till the 19th. Need a job or am gonna go broke soon. T_T...

Till next time.

The nest.

So, I think its time I showed you guys a bit around my place

First up, we have the common room/lounge/ reception area of my residence halls.^^

-The common room where we play ping pong and pool like there is no tomorrow.-

-The Residence Halls Poster and Mascot: The Berwick Bulls.-

- Karen dutifully at her reception desk.^^-

-The Laundry room and vending machines. Designed to eat your money while you wait.>.<-

-The outside of the main office and the communal garden

-Block A, where I live-


-The first thing I see when I enter Block A-



-The hallway leading to my room-


-The communal kitchen. Every day is a battle to get the space to cook your food before your flatmates do.XD-




-Flatmates pigging out-

-My room door-

-Room door with cupboard beside it. Keys to the kingdom(AKA, my room) hanging on the lever.-


-The Bed-



-Maximum comfort: PS3 and laptop on one table. Notice how the PS3 is facing the bed, thus enabling playing while lying down.
Who knew such simple positioning of furniture could be so comfortable.-


-PS3 and CRT TV. A tragic combination as the graphics are shit despite the PS3's best attempts.-



-The disabled toilet. Have to sit and shower. Its more annoying that it sounds.>_>-

Well, went to Luna Park a week back. Not as good as Genting but it was free so I can't complain.^^-Me with my Hong Kong friend- Priscilla at the main gate.-

-The track of the largest Roller coaster they had. Wasn't too epic, but had a great view when at the peak.-

-The interior.-




-At their extra large sign board outside.-


-As an extra, a view of a recent sunset outside my kitchen.-




-Random picture of my favorite drink^^-

Next time will be featuring my Uni. Think I'm finally getting used to the Uni pace of life here. Though my thoughts do drift to the times back home occasionally.

Learned something from an Australian youth the other day. As you all know, slang for Malaysians is: "Lah" and "Weih". Well, for them its "Shit" and "Fuck".=_=lll

But wait, their slang is that it is interchangeable with ANYTHING.

He proceeded to demonstrate: *Points at BBQ pit* "I'm gonna BBQ some shit on this little fucker." (I'm going to barbecue some meat on this BBQ pit.) =.=lll

That is one example provided. I would put some more, but I think its more than self-explanatory of what happens.

Till next time.

Calm before the storm

So the past few days have been....routine.

Everyday, its just wake up....Eat breakfast... Go shopping for supplies for my future Uni days...Come home...eat dinner...sleep.

Would have more fun if not everything around here didn't close at 5pm. =_=

My life now is like waiting to die like that. =_=lll

So, in order to break this depressive cycle, I decided to go out and buy Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 so that I can be occupied a bit.



How wrong I was...

Not only is GRAW 2 insanely hard on the easiest difficulty. Its apparently as close to the special forces/infantryman's experience in real combat.

Which lead to me dying don't know how many times because one can die from just 3 stray bullets...

Not too mention your squad is sometimes as stupid and dumb as a door knob. Sure, they dive for cover when somebody is shooting at them. But their heads are still bullet magnets as they like to stick their head out of their cover for no good reason.

In short, GRAW 2 is a game only for masochists. And you'd be an insane lone army if you could actually beat the single player campaign.

There goes my 20 $ T_T

In other news, I rmb I promised some pictures so here they are:



-My table with the computer on it-


-My bed-



-My Aunt's house-



-Magnum Heaven Ice Cream- This beats all the ice-cream you can get back home in malaysia.



-The ice-cream wrapper with the cheesy line on it.- Each wrapper has a different saying on it. e.g. "skip dinner, come straight to me."

Been also keeping my eye out on a PS3. Heck, my aunt even provided me with an old TV. Might as well get one while i'm here.

Over here, played games can apparently be traded in to get a discount for a newer game. Though still new to this sort of system, seems kinda interesting. But games can cost a shit load so its not hard to imagine it as a customer service gimmick.

Hopefully, when Uni life starts, it won't be as mind numbingly boring....

I find the defendant....

So, today was exploration of campus day. All organized by my parents who are suddenly very Gan-Cheong and clingy lately. Understandable though- I won't be seeing them for two years.

So, Took an hours drive to Berwick. It was...

Boring...

Other synonyms include: Empty, Very open, not very lively and small.














Haihz...I'm gonna be dead bored...

My future room (Fortunately...) is actually meant for orang cacat, so i'm actually getting a huge ass toilet. Heck, I can even lie down or sit on the bench in the toilet and shower.

Other than that though, the rest of the main room is quite small. standard size bed (Small) + small desk (Enough to put my laptop and some stuff on it) + cupboard (might barely able to fit all my wardrobe...) + Towel rack (ok ok only...).

I see that the room was not designed for people to stay in it for the long term... How ironic. =_=lll

Looks like my plans of getting a PS3 will have to be accelerated forward. Otherwise my cause of death in my autopsy report is going to be listed as: "Boredom"

Till later...

I see, I came, Maybe I'll conquer?

Arrived safely in Melbourne today. Air flight was.... Boring.

No TV, had to pay for water or food and there was this fat dude who was moving in and out of the window seat while I was sleeping in the aisle seat.

Was half tempted to yell at him to lose some of those jelly-rolls. =_=

Well, arrival was fine. First thing we did was go into a supermarket and buy some groceries.

Magnum Heaven Ice-Cream FTW

Will post photos in another post later on.

Till then.

Sayonara...Halycon days.

Well. This is it. I'm finally leaving for Monash University in Melbourne to study for 3 years. Its been fun everyone. I'll be back in 2 years time though. So I expect lunches and yamcha sessions PEOPLE!!! XD
