Human Basic Instinct: Greed

Money is never enough. We do the tough way of earning it by working but some rather gambled it, hoping that one day, more will return. However, truth is, cost of gambling outweighs the returns. Most people buy lottery without understanding the probability of winning the number. Take a number 1234. The first number has 9 possibilities followed by10 possibilities for each subsequent numbers. Therefore, probability of hitting your number is 1/(9 x 10 x 10 x 10) = 1/9000. So you can bet on number 1234 for 9000 times and if your lucky, you might win in some early rounds. Otherwise, I wish you best of luck. Hah.. The best thing is, even a temple is manipulated to aid in lottery number prediction. There's so much humans can do today in the name of god.

Buddy

We have a dog at Semenyih house, where I stay throughout the whole academic year of Uni Nottingham. It's called Buddy, belongs to Tommy, a housemate of mine. Buddy was bought for RM300 from a lady who claimed that it was a Spitz. I thought it would be too general to classify a dog by Spitz because there are variety of dog breed that come under the term. It turned out that Buddy appears to be a mix bred of German Shepherd and Labrador Retriever. We assume so. Nevertheless, my housemates and I adore him. He bites a lot and pee everywhere but time is all that we need to get all this fixed (as in trained). Pictures of Buddy: Bad Buddy, bad

burn after watching

Watched Burn After Reading at night and it was a totally waste of time. Fooled by the cast and in the end, I didn't even get it. Study progress: slow but still good. Managed to catch up on Process Dynamic Control but yet to work on tutorial 2. A little bit more on PDC before the tutorial. FYP: Finished up to MESH calculation for the column Throughout the day: Watched clips of Top Gear in YouTube. God knows I love cars...

I've just wasted my time, got into an argument

As a final year student, time management is crucial and I know I don't have a Friday to be wasted. Revision-2-do piling up and a stuck final year project. But still, I am not motivated. I went down to wash my car, clean some stuffs rather than catching up with studies like I did weekly. The mood did not seemed to be there. At night, I called back home to check out on my family. Got into light argument with mom. She disapprove me going for an island trip as soon as I finished my whole degree studies, by saying that I've enjoyed too much and not realized that so many people might not be as lucky as me. I agreed that I was lucky but the trip is going to be my graduation trip with my university mates which I really look forward to. I gave in, and decided not to go further with the current situation, and emotionally replied to my friend to pull out from the trip. He was stunted by my answer but did not question. I felt discouraged and disappointed. But I will plan for my next step f

The first post: About Me and The Blog

Hi, I'm Eddy . I'm 22 at the year of creating this post. Stay in Penang, Malaysia. I'm the eldest in the siblings of 3. I used to live in Kuala Lumpur until my father passed away when I was 11. Then we moved tp Penang to stay with my maternal grandparents. We started a new life there. I did my schooling in a small district in Penang called Bukit Mertajam. I managed to do well in the national examination, equivalent to o-levels and obtained convertible loan to do my degree at the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. Today, I am exactly 4 months from graduation and am working hard for my final year project. This blog is the story of my life and my past. I created this blog not only to share with you what a person like me have gone through but also to serve as an indicator. In the future, I can use this blog to view back my past and see if I have lived my life to the fullest or am I just as pathetic as a person whose family is not perfect.
