COW ALERT !!

On the way to church yesterday evening, we came across a herd of cows (lembu) as we normally call it here in Malaysia. They were happily munching away to the grass at the road side.. It's actually rather common to see cows along the road to Ipoh from UTP. That by any standards is still considered rather normal.


Well anyway, the story goes that as we passed the cows, Bismo suddenly exclaimed "Hey, look at the cows, they're so skinny.." I don't remember what exactly was the topic of discussion berefe that statement popped up. But somehow, it wasa totally unexpected statement at a totally unexpected time. Next thing i knew, Roy, Edgar and me were laughing like crazy people. Me in particular.


Not even 1 minute after that incident we suddenly saw a cow happily trotting on the road in the lane we were using. It was slightly scary, because we had to do a drastic slowing down, and try to zap into the neighbouring lane. (Well, logicaly, it was either that or ram into the cow.) Ramming into the cow isn't exactly an option coz from stories that I've heard before, chances are, after ramming a cow, the car might be in a wreck, whereas the cow, will probably fall on the ground, get up and continue walking as if nothing happened.


As we passed the cow, another funny statement came out from Bismo. "Now cows not only cross the road, they actually travel ON the road like cars." :-)


I simply couldn't stop laughing at the hillarity of the situation... Supposedly now the joke about why chickens cross the road shouldn't be about the chicken anymore, but rather 'Why do cows cross the road?'

Its that time of the semester again, where everyone will be flooding the library, or staying up till goodness knows whatever time in the morning... (Actually, I'm one of those staying up till wee hours of the morning... burning the midnight oil as my mom would say.) Yeap... It's time for....

FINAL EXAMS !!!


Exams started off yest with Probability and Statistics.. Well, it was supposed to be an okay paper, but ended up with being not so okay after all... Sad case really.... And then today there was Communication Systems. Not that bad on the whole, except that my brain chose not to cooperate properly in helping me to recall the definitions to be penned on the paper.. Conclusion is, got quite a number of empty and sad looking holes here and there in my answer booklet. Oh well, that's done... and hopefully for good. Next up, got four more papers to go.. which are


i) Control Systems


ii)Mandarin Language


iii)Analogue Electronics


iv)and of course EMT - Electromagnetic Theory ~~~



---> which is definately gona blow some fuses in my brain..




Oh well, anyway, might not be updating for a while. Supposed to be studying... :-P



Here's to the remaining four papers. Time to start work again.



Last but not least, all the best to all who are sitting for final exams as well. :-)

Inter Campus Gathering 2007 - St Anne

ICG 2007 - Our Faith Our Freedom. It was two years ago since the last ICG which was held at Peace Haven, Genting Highlands. It was such a great experience attending the workshops, praise and worship sessions, dinner sessions and of course, all the socializing and the picture taking sessions with new found friends, long lost friends and unimates. Just like the previous ICG, ICG 2007 was great from all these aspects as well. I met some people who attended the previous ICG. Made more new friends, and had a great time with my unimates as well. All UTP-ians were so outgoing and probably the noisiest and paling semangat of the bunch of people. (Pardon my mixture of Malay there, can't think of a better way to phrase that sentence.)







There were a list of workshops of which each participant was required to attend only four. The four workshps which i attended were War and Peace, Gender Equality, The right to marry as well as Religion in Malaysia. These workshops were all very beneficial in a sense that one might have some basic knowledge regarding the discussed issue, however have never gave more than a second thought to it. However, during these workshops, one is prompted by several questions prepared by the speaker to reflect and ponder about how it might affect us or probably the future generation in the ver near future.







Not forgetting of course, there was the very wonderful and meaningful theme song. All i could say was i totally loved singing it everyday. I have included the lyrics as follows.





There are cries, there are sorrows,


there are people hoping losing hope for tomorrow


Life is just not, an option for them


People keep on living in tears and despair





Jesus came, to bring the good news,


To the poor, marginalized and prisoners


He's the light, the light of the world


to be shared and make it shining everywhere





Hold your steps


Look at people surrounding you


In their hearts, they are thirsting to be free


Let's proclaim, now is the time for freedom and peace


All sing.....





It's our faith, that gives us freedom


Every mankind, every life,


Is precious in God's eyes


We are called, to seek the truth


The truth that sets us free





It's our faith that gives us freedom,


We are voices of the voiceless


We are all children of God


Hold our hands, moving forward


To build kingdom of God


New chapter will begin




J.E.S.U.S He is the way

J.E.S.U.S He is the truth

J.E.S.U.S He is the light

J.E.S.U.S He will set us free





In a nutshell. It was a wonderful and memorable experience. Looking forward for the next ICG in two years time.

Guess thats enough talking. Now it's picture time.

:-P
