A NUT in making...

The news is out...I passed!! Congratulations Randy indeed.....and heartfelt sorry for those who did not make it. Only half made it and I was in the "good looking" group. Ya know, now of all times that I hoped that my mother had named me Peter...or Patrick...or anything that starts with the letter 'P'. Then, my new nickname would be P-NUTS.

Despite of my short crap above feigning my excitement over my success, I'm not especially happy nor proud about it. Well, of course I'm thankful that they want me in their campus but....like I said, ain't happy bout' it. "And why is that so?" you may ask.....

After having gone through a very very ridiculous interview.....so ridiculous that it surprise me...me, the Ketam King of Melaka. Not even my most successful crap was as ridiculous as this. I mean........come on, difference of square root x??? Makes me wanna say WTF instead of answering. Dude, at least add in a "+1" and I won't feel so bad. Sheesh....what kind of campus that wou......oh right, I forgot, it's called NUT.

Well.....I guess there's nothing left for me to do except go dye my hair into a god-forbidden colour ( I meant brown.....god forbid every colour except black) and also go find myself some part time job to pass my time with.

Sigh....I should have prepared myself more. It's not that I didn't study but....just that, I studied but didn't know how good (or bad) I was and which varsity would suit me...and I ended up choosing the one which snow falls on in winter (my current campus doesn't) so that I could ski.....stupid huh?

Anyway.......CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Varsity blues...

Well, yes Kelly. It was that easy....and you won't believe how easy the other questions are. But then again, it's easy to enter but life gets a lil' tough once you're in.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to dedicate this entry to some of my friends who passed the UEC(University of Electrical Communications...or was it electronics...) entrance exams today. 4(out of 5) of my Malaysian friends and a Mongolian colleague of mine. WELL DONE LADS!!!!

But like all my other blogs...my good news are like salad, they don't come without "dressing". And this one's "spicyyyy".

Among those who took the test, there was one whom I thought would pass. I mean, anyone would've bet on her to pass...she was top student back in M'sia and is still one of the best in her campus. But then, out of everyone's surprise...I assume everyone's surprise....she failed the test! Makes me wonder how could she have failed when her studies is better?

Hmm.....I thought up on a few reasons why she failed.
1. Satan is clearly involved.
2. The interviewer didn't think she was cute enough.
3. She froze when they ask her for her name...
4. She got too caught up with couplehood. You know the song......I wink, you wink....I dream of you, you dream of me....I jump, you jump....these stuff can really do some serious damage( as well as leave a sweet scar that will make you feel glad that you met that person).

Sigh....feel sorry for her though. Hope that she will do better at her next test. All the best yo...

ANYWAY....my turn's tomorrow. Will know if that "easy as a breeze interview" will blow pass me or not. And now's the time when one can say that a hurricane approaching is a blessing. BUT....but if it does blow pass me.....I'm doomed. I just realize that if .....IF i fail, I will be totally unprepared to take another. Been wasting time watching movies and typing this. You see, most of my seniors and friends have been telling me that anyone foreign student, me included, who take the test for NUT will surely pass, unless I cut my tongue the day before and is unable to speak....but what they failed to tell me was that there were only 2/3 applicants at that time!! My group had 8! This means that my passing rate is 37.5% at best.

Sigh...and another sigh.....wish me luck fellas. Let's hope they like a crazy crap like me in a NUT campus.

Interview for NUTS

Nuts....all my life(22 years, 3months 16 days and counting) I've been believing that fate a.k.a destiny do not exist...same goes for god..... but I do respect other people's religion and believes. And all my life, I've been believing that I'm in control of my life...that I'm at the helm of my own destiny. Believing that whatever happened, happened entirely by chance...not because of some essay god wrote about my life in English Composition class.

Oh...how wrong was I.....

You see, just last week, I attended an interview session for Nagaoka University of Technology, NUT. And if I pass...which I positively, confidently believe that I will, gonna cry if I don't (Ern Suey and Audrey, chance for you guys to take a pic of me crying and make fun of me forever)....if I pass, I'm going to be a NUT Student....thus the term NUTS. I'm gonna be a nuts....

Sigh....I mean, I knew I was crazy and things that I say can be a lil' weird sometimes...but never did I suspect that I will be officially called nuts when by 23!! Sheesh...every now and then, a memory of someone saying "Hahaha...Randy, you're nuts!" comes back haunting me. I guess...I guess fate really do exist...and I'm doomed to tell jokes and factual nonsense forever...never maturing and discuss politics like most adults do.

ANYWAY.....about the interview, it was pretty easy. Too easy as a matter of fact. Makes me wonder..."Did they make it easy for foreign students?" or was it "They are going to fail me anyway so they were not wasting time on me by asking me difficult stuff?". Think I'm paranoid? Well, the following is actual conversation of me and the interviewer;

Interviewer: Ok Randy, what is 'm' in physics?
Me: Mass....
Interviewer: Ok , what is 'a' in physics then?
Me: Acceleration?
Interviewer: Good...good....now what is product of 'm' and 'a'
Me: Force...
Interviewer: WRONG!!.....it's Newton's First Law!!! Hahahahahah.....
Me: .......*what the f***?!!!!


See? He was just making a fool of me....oh? did I mention that I was the last person of the group to be interviewed? Well...I was. Guess he was tired and was just trying to have fun.....it's possible, right? He HAVE been spending a lot of years at NUT. Oh, did I also mention that he was head of department? Well...that makes him a NUT Head....

Whatever those nut heads had in mind, really hope I pass. And the place there is quite nice...not too busy like Tokyo (It's like medieval war there every time the light turn green, two sides rushing at each other with briefcases)...and not too quite, they're gonna build a big cineplex there....and uhh....MGS girl's there. Remember MGS girl? My senior who studied at the same place at mine...mentioned her in my blog last time. Anyway, she graduated and furthered her studies there....so there I am!!

Reincarnation of the CRABBED!!!!

Well, ok, I lied when I said I was gonna end my blog forever. But then again, those of you who know me well enough (bout 2 hours is considered well enough) , y'all should know better than to trust me right?

Actually, I've started blogging on Friendsters....then one of my fr...ok, Jeremy Cheong told me that he hates Friendsters' blog so I decided to revive my blog here. And why would I do that for a guy? I mean....I'm not gay....or am I?...Haha....hmm....sorry, that was a bad joke. It wasn't even funny.

Anyway, gonna blog here from here now onwards......

The toughest interview in the world.

That’s right guys. I’m having my brains scanned and my speech ability analyzed tomorrow morning to determine if I have what it takes to be a NUT. Btw, NUT stands for Nagaoka University of Technology. Not Nail Under Trimmed or Naked Under Tree…or just a nut.

Anyway, the interview’s gonna be like a biological warfare!!! Apparently, someone out there doesn’t want me to be a nut, so he/she released a toxin agent to contaminate the campus ground so as no one could be interviewed tomorrow. How did he/she did it? and What kind of toxin agent did he/she used??

Well, one student got down with measles. Allow me to repeat…ONE student got sick so they close down the entire campus. I wonder what for…Do they think that measles virus(or bacteria I don’t know which) will die if they don’t make polka dots on someone’s face for 4 days? If that is their mentality, then they are literally nutheads and I’ve clearly chosen the wrong place to be!!

Anyway, wish me luck for tomorrow. Hope that the interviewer is either gay or lonely as I have been working out recently. I’ll be flexing my left breast for "Good Morning" and my right breast for "Hi, my name is Randy and please feel free to touch"…

The fragile little thing we call life

Dudes, chics, my fellow buddies….just a few days ago, my house in Melaka was mugged by some knife wielding nuthead. Fortunately, my dear mum wasn’t hurt in this event.

Story’s like this. My mom headed to the neighbour’s to do stuff all women like to do, gossip and share food they cooked for lunch. So, thinking that she’ll be there for just a while, she left the door ajar. Then came along a knife wielding nuthead with a nutty smile thanking his good luck as he ponders how much can he rob off my house . Not long after he broken in, my mom returned to tend to lunch only to find out that she’s the one facing the chopping block this time.

The nuthead then does what you saw in the movies, he seizes my mom’s throat and threatened her with his knife so that she won’t shout. That nutty guy really thought that that "Don’t shout or else" threat would work? Of course my mom shouted. I mean, anybody would shout when panicked right? Fortunately, one of my neighbours heard my mom and ran in. All my neighbours know that my mom doesn’t shout unless me or my brother’s home.

Seeing that my neighbours have been alerted, he did the smartest thing he ever did in his entire ..um…20 nut years? 30 nuts maybe ….of life. I would have personally thanked him for that act if I were there. He dropped the knife and ran off leaving my mom unhurt. She’s all shaken up but luckily only emotionally hurt. Phew…what a relief. But seriously, if I were there, wouldn’t thank him but will beat the crap out of him. Then call in the cops, have him jailed and pray that he will get raped by them inmates in jail.

Boy, was I shocked when I heard this first-hand from my mom. Out of a sudden, "Hello, Randy? Have you taken your dinner? Anyway, do you know, I almost died today…" It’s a real blessing that my mom was left unhurt. Thank god he implanted a few good brain cells in his nutty brains before he was born. That few brain cells was what that suggested that he drop the knife and not hurt my mom.

24 days later...

You know that movie "28 days later" ?? The one about people turning into zombies? The one with people being eaten alive and all?? well, I like that movie…

Anyway, 24 days here means days since I last blogged…just couldn’t find the time. I was busy with an impossible assignment. WELL, not "Tom Cruise Impossible" but "George Clooney " kind of impossible. When I went to hand up my report, my lecturer was in a very very good mood and he decided to ask me all kinds of questions (regarding microcomputers and algorithm). Just because I did ONE experiment with him he thinks I know EVERYTHING about microcomputers!!! Aw, you should have seen me there sweating my ass off for one hour trying to answer his question. Imagine that, one hour date with your lecturer talking bout’ stuff that he got masters degree for. Sigh….guess all I can say was thanks to my years of crapping, I managed to pull through.

And directly after my ordeal (yes, I think the word ordeal would suit my experience pretty well) with my lecturer, it’s exams!!! Well, wasn’t so bad i guess….I think i did pretty well cept’ my last paper. Did not see it coming. The numbers and words just flew out of the paper and SPLAT!! Right in the face….

And guess what happened after that?

A. Went out for a movie and found out why Capt. Jack Sparrow have the surname Sparrow…I mean, that’s a bird right? why would anyone have take a bird for a name? Yeah , I know he’s a pirate but only allow him a parrot on the shoulder right? Or maybe because he hated birds, but since pirate captains are suppose to carry birds, he stuck it to his name.

B. Went out for billiard and do what guys love doing best, hitting them balls with a stiff stick. Ever wondered why we like hitting balls so much? Think of it, except rugby and ice hockey, every major sport involves hitting a small round ball that’ shaped like….well, a round ball.

C. Went to bed after one week long of staying up but only slept for an hour cause I dreamt of numbers. Guys have been known to dream of anything….and I mean "anything" but never …..NEVER anything about studies. Well, if our lecturer was young and attractive, we might dream a little about "studies" but not about numbers with the "lecturer" absent right?
