Today was great. Temperature was about 50 F. Isn’t that nice? What did I do today? Basically:
9.00 am – 9.30 am Woke up, shower.
9.30 am – 9.50 am Quick revision of 4102.
9.50 am – 10.00 am Walked to school. Stopped at Williamson Bookstore to buy a new calculator.
10.00 am – 10.10 am Reached class. Already started. McClurg taught about numerical methods and project.
11.00 am – 11.15 am Second class. Exam was going to start in 15 minutes. Took a glimpse of practice test did yesterday. Was not confident enough to score.
11.15 am – 12.05 pm Schmidt came with TAs. Giving out exam papers. 7 questions. I was blank on the spot. Lost, disappointed. Read the first question. Don’t have any idea how. Skip first question. Second question: D.E. why the hell the concentration was negative? Wrong. Fuck it. Third question: slurry? Fuck. 4th-7th: catalyst? What reaction was that? Damn lost. No common sense at all. Shit. I was so fucked up. Couldn’t think about it and didn’t want to see that bullshitting paper anymore. Come on, time’s up. come on.
12.05 pm -12.10 pm Schmidt announced: OK, time’s up. Pass you paper to the sides. Gosh, have a nice weekend for me. Walked out from the class with Zaza. Tried not to talk about it. Told her I was going to pray-Friday prayer. Skipped 4121 today.
12.15 pm- 12.20 pm On the way home. Met Hillary (my 4003 classmate this semester. She took IE5441 with me last summer) near Norris Library. Told her that the exam was hard (or I didn’t prepare much). “Did you skip class today?’
12.25 pm – 12.50 pm Got home. Kobe was sleeping in his room, I thought. Opened my computer. Saw Nizam and Mamat online. He greeted me first with assalam. Told him to give the salaam properly. Lastly I wrote the salaam properly to him. Nizam had a brief chat with me like he was not interested to talk. I saw my MCKK friend now a student in IC London, FBI, online. Greeted him. Asked him about his coming Easter holiday. “Suck, I’ll have exam after that.” (P/s: my exam sucked me today).
12.50 pm – 12.55 pm Told everybody I’m going to perform my Friday prayer. FBI wrote: Maghrib?Reply: Jumaat. Stopped conversation. Went to bathroom to take wudu’ or ablution. Walked to the mosque nearby with ketayap.
1.00 pm – 1.10 pm Reached the mosque. The khatib almost finished with his first khutbah. Sat quietly, listening to the second khutbah about Hijrah, Palestinian, Israel, what Muslims should do. The end of the world is near. Prepare for the awakening.
1.17 pm – 1.35 pm Friday prayer started. Just 2 raka’ats. Perform solat sunat. Shook hands with Asad Abdul-Khaliq (U of M quaterback). Walked home with Lalat and Izrin. Asked Lalat why he didn’t come to class today? Said, he woke near 10 but Mamat was long in th shower. Nevermind, he said. Told him about the project. Izrin told me he wanted to go to Smith to ask a question to his TA. Then go Target Downtown. At first wanted to follow him. Met Amilin, Zack, Pyan and Fazrul. Amilin said they want to go to have lunch at Somalia. Agreed to go. Shouted to Izrin, plan cancelled. Went into Zack’s building. Fazrul parked his car at Zack’s building parking lot. Pyan took his stuff from Fazrul’s car. I thought he came with us. Nope. Zack didn’t come with us because he has to work at 3 o’clock. Amilin teased me, “Afraid of your junior?” Nonsense. Got into Fazrul’s car. Moved on.
1.40 pm “It’s spring already. Open the car’s hood”. Went to Lokman’s house. Lokman came with us
1.45 pm – 2.00 pm Chatting in the car. Lokman said that time moved fast. Quite agree. To Somalia restaurant (old). Road was a bit busy: lunch hour. Difficult to find parking behind restaurant. Luckily got one. Got into restaurant. Greeted by a waiter, a Somalian. “What to order? We have chicken legs, chicken steak, etc” he said with his hands tried to explain what kind of food they served. Amilin ordered chicken legs with fried rice. So did I.
2.00 pm - 2.45 pm What was our conversation during lunch? Didn’t remember. Paid with cc. Went out. One Somalian kid fell on ice. He was all right. Walked to fazrul’s car. Shit, my ketayap was dropped in mud! Fuck! Fuck! Need to buy a new one. Didn’t take it. Got into car. Move.
3.00 pm- 4.00 pm Not exactly the exact time. Went to United Noodles, an oriental store here. Bought soy drinks, a pack of noodles, coconut drinks, roti canai instant. I like this because I could get the cooking stuffs I need. Took a tour around the store. Joked about pork: Babi goleng, babi golenglah! There was one Malaysian Chinese work there. Talked with her about durian. Checked out. Went home.
4.00 pm – 5.00 pm Entered home. Saw Kobe lying on sofa. Asked him if he’s OK? Gave him one soymilk. Clean room a bit. Did nothing. Opened computer. Checked, email, searched for new movie in Kazaa. Downloading spyware software. Cleaned computer for crap files. Lay on bed. Slept.
After this? Let’s say I didn’t sleep until 5 am.
