The End of Days is here (or at least until end of nx sem)

Thursday, September 29th, 2005

Another semester has come and gone. Much I have learnt (and forgotten). Three exams down, and only Engineering Maths and Field Theory stand in my way to freedom (for a month anyway). I miss home. Sure, Melaka is bigger, older, more stuff to see. Raub is home after all, and much closer to my heart (air’s fresh too, with forests all round). I miss my mother’s cooking. I miss my bed. I miss watering the dozens pots of flowers at home. (P.S. I miss Angel ;P)
A few weeks ago, my laptop’s hard disk crashed. Lots of stuff was gone then. One and a half years of collecting is gone down the drain and all I can do is start collecting again. Since then, I have been rediscovering other sides to myself that I thought I have forgotten. Till now, I still have a great liking for instrumental music, especially ones made for movies. Example, Fantaghiro’s Mio Nemico; The Time Machine OST; Edward Scissorhands’ The Ice Dance. Other music still hold their enchantment as well, such as Richard Clayderman, Yanni, Robert Miles and Bjorn Lynne.
Besides losing my considerable favorite music collection, I’ll also have to rebuild my collection of ebook novels, though I probably can recite them page by page from memory. Again, its the sentimental value. So hard to find good stuff these days, until I find it hard to let go of the past favourites. I’ll probably have the same collection now as when I’ll be 80 years old.

It sucks…

Life, in general, and C programming in particular, SUCKS. Here I am, after spending 3 unfruitful days trying to program a simple square-filler, stuck with a program that won’t tell me where I went wrong. No, nothing wrong with the program, it worked fine. But the results weren’t exactly the ones I want. Shows how much I know about practical C programming. Life is also not helping, as my computer is being repaired, and the assignment date is in a few days. What’s a busy student gotta do these days? Desperate already, I’ll have to resort to typing random bits of code, hoping something will work. Just like an infinite number of monkeys typing on infinite typewriters will eventually come up with a blockbuster hit greater than Star Wars. I’ll make my statement clear, in case you have forgotten, Life in general, and C programming in particular, SUCKS.

p.s. You have your opinion, I have mine. You’re free to ignore my saying that Life in general, and C programming in particular, SUCKS.
