bad things accumulate exponentially

#1 i'm having exams. and i'm lagging behind syllabus. i need to catch up, but i lazed. so i kept hanging 'round till last minute. totally my fault.

#2 on the verge of exams, my PC's PSU blew. FYP, lab reports, et cetera had to wait till i get it fixed.

#3 i caught flu before the paper.

#4 the flu pestered me till today, where i will be having my lab session.

Not as bad as my housemate (where he got dumped and having to drop his FYP), but it's still terrible. my, i need a break.

the Job
been working for awhile now as a part timer in MMU with YS Photo. Congrats to all those who's graduating! Times does fly. Familiar faces with their families brushing shoulders outside the halls, parents knowing more new friends, and kids running along the bazaar. what a sight.

Many never thought of the convocation day. for me, convo is just another event that come and go each year.
just a day where you wear your robe and throw your hat.
a day where you shake hands, hugs and congratulate each other.
a day of troublesome ordeals.
hehe.
silly me.

if the amount of efforts of all those who completed their studies accumulated together, it would be something so astounding that we could never imagine.

ah, last day at job.
tiring days are over, and classes are back to normal.
p/s: the new buildings are definitely breathtaking, especially MMU's new hall.

The hot Stuffs
SK had a come-back win from having 4 rax broken in early game.

The ugly Stuffs
sK leader M4Gi_7 just announced his unavailability to join his team in Singapore due to studies. Malaysia's dota community is going to have a big frown for the weekend. Goodluck to remaining members of sK. Unofficial news states that Aven from sK 2nd team will replace M4Gi_7.

Cutting it short
all the best to SKz. sigh.
