Virus spreading in your university?

Malaysian universities' computer labs are in a havoc due to a recent virus. Can't say the name since it shuts the application down, so I heard. If you haven't been infected yet, don't open any e-mails from strangers (obviously) and try not to use thumbdrives... I know, I know, it's hard. But better safe than sorry. Mr. Diskette or Mr. CD-RW or Mr. Gmail is your saviour now.

Snort

Being in a fully-air conditioned room for two hours = bad. Now my sinuses are kicking my nose crazy. To give you an idea how cold it was, I can't feel my right pinkie finger an hour later and the interior of a car that had been sitting in the tropical sunlight for a day feels like heaven.

Sniff.

Orientation

Several days ago...

Orientation day for March intake! First up are several briefing by the administration. Quite well delivered, except for one. I could not understand what was being explained and neither could my colleagues for that matter. Next are some ice breaking games, which I won't go into much...

Evening brought club recruitment into focus. I joined one club, just one. Unfortunately for me, there's no automobile club. And here I thought that every institute of technology got to have one. After that, it's a little bit of guess-what-is-being-acted and treasure hunt. I ran up and down six floors, which resulted in painful legs on Sunday.

We wrap up the events with a group photo. Hilarity ensues, things fly and general wackiness abound.

My legs still hurt from running around.

Registeration

(Several days ago...)

Must wake up early, got registeration today! No registeration means I can work my ass off for the rest of my life. Since I scored below average for STPM, I heading where STPM guys don't usually head to - foundation. Hence I will mixing around will people two years my junior (fun) and I am hoping that certain someone will be there as well.

Good stuff about it is that my MUET results exempted me from taking English classes. Not that proud though, since a lot of other people are also exempted as well. Another exemption is Bahasa Kebangsaan for Local Students. Suprising since I remember getting either 4 or 6 for it (SPM).

We'll see how this will turn out.
