ZILA NYER!

I can’t sleep last night. this few weeks my sleep tune ade lari skit.. this morning 8 am, I accompany my hubby to bike store. Ade sale after christmas. I bought my hubby a racing bike that cost me a month salary. Kinda crazy.. but then, it’s for my own benefit so he can ride to go to work, and I can drive to class. hehe.. pretty selfish? No, it was his request bcoz i selalu terhegeh2 every morning while he is alwayz on time (for me he’s always too early). So for his b-day in a couple of weeks, I da beri pre-gift.. so, on his b-day, I guess we’ll go to back steak house coz I got this $25 gift card for christmas and not to forget ice cream cake (yum yum, i love it!)

Yesterday, we ride bikes together. I used this old mountain bike. Men, so tired. So, on the way back we’ve to switch bike and riding this racing bike is sooo much fun, I wish I can go riding farther but it was soo dark (5.30 pm in winter), and we both don’t put the light on bike, kinda dangerous. So, believe or not, I just bought a racing bike for me that again cost us, my a month paycheck. this racing bike is really light made from carbon fiber. At 5 pm, I’ll pick up my bike at store, they’ll do the tune up. Can’t wait to go to ride my bike to go to Sabino Canyon, Mount Lemmon maybe, and etc. I know it sounds crazy to some people to finish my 2 months paycheck just for bikes, but I’m just very excited and looking fwd for it. I used to bike a lot before, now I guess it’s time back to old adventure. Plus I’m happy me n my hubby share the same passion. He loves sports a lot, but I so malas nk main basket with other guys because I end up screaming more than catching the ball (they obviously don’t have pity over me), but biking, why not as long as I can have a stop at coffee bucks, jamba juice, dunkin donuts, etc.. Plus, I don’t have to get anybody attention to play

these few days, I dun really have anything to do.so i did a lot of surfing at friendster and found few lost friends during my high school/maktab time. to my surprise, quite few of them already married and have kids.it feels like time ticking so fast, it just feel like just last yr i still have fun with my friends during class, prep time, running, laughing, teasing, arguing, fighting with my dearest friends, but today it’s all gone and bz with our own families. If you see McD ad from US, after drink a cup of coffee in the morning from McD, u just realized how much u live in ur own world, w/o realizing what happen around us. That’s what i feel right now. How could I missed all those 7 yrs of my life. I guess I stuck in US for too long.. I’ve been here for almost 6 yrs, and I guess I’ll still be here for another 5 yrs. then, i know one day again i’ll again realized how much I miss all the news in Malaysia.
For my friends who married and have kid/kids, congratulations and I’m sorry that I missed all ur wedding/ur big days. I wish I can share ur happiness but distant and time separate us. But believe me, everyone of you are still my friends. i just realized that i only been to 4 of my friends wedding, Nini, Sare,kay and Nadia. Poor me.. If I went back to Malaysia some time, I wish I can attend more wedding after this.. So, sya and Fir pls choose a right date, so I can attend yours. To hadi and Nazreen, sorry I miss your wedding just by days that I’ve to be back to US. To who not married yet, try to invite me, if i’m around, i’ll try to make it :). Like Lutfi, if you goin’ to marry here in US, I sure will come. (u just call me today while waitng for ur chai, so u’r in my list la). My beloved friends Ida n Shima, I’m looking fwd to receive an invitation from you (sorry lama x contact), and to Azza congratulation.Again I miss ur big day, tp kalu ade baby dun forget to let me know. And to Kay, I been 2 ur wedding, but i’ll not be around when u deliver ur baby. So, I wish u’re in a good health alwayz.

the test start yesterday at 11 am-1 pm. i woke up a bit late and still try to memorized everything when I arrived at school. Push everything in my brain, don’t want to leave any point out. the test start, looks easy huh, start writing, somehow flipping my k formula, the isentropic exponent from cp/cv to cv/cp. trying very hard to solve, but keep getting a weird answer, how could a temperature goes down after we pumping a gas to enter the piston. do i forgot the formula. No, i rederived-derived and keep deriving the formula, keep getting wrong answer. ok, leave it, and move to new problem. next problem, looks simpler. Is it? arrive to a formula that i need to know the entropy of the state, with out a table? No, we can’t get it without a table, what about the difference of entropy form dead state, yes that one we can get, but it’s still not give u the reciprocal relation ship of 2 states, does it? humm.. rederived-derive-and derived. still have the same equation as before. Is my brain become so tired due to buch of reading and memorizing 30 min before the test start. it’s really a bad idea. the ilm that i’m pushing in, has nothing to do with the final exam questions. No brayton cycle, refrigeration cycle, no otto cycle.. humm..
well, 20 min before test end, no choice, finish them… oh, it suppose to be cp/cv… write them down, noww!! ok, 1st prob done.. yeay.. 2nd prob, just do to dead state, i have to change some, but well no time, it has to be exery ratio formula now, not just between 2 states ratio. opss.. no time.. kringgg.. submit your paper now.. this is such a frustrating time, i just spend too mcuh time deriving the right formula, but over see small mistake..
then, the teacher comes up with idea going for lunch together fr the whole class celebrating our final.. yea, yea.. so, we went to Micha’s at prince and mountain including my husband since he was waiting for me at the parking lot. we drive and have a good lunch whil complaining about our fate. humm.. seems like not everyone able to solve the problem. But the funny thing, i was solving the height the parachute can go, that’s why i have like 80 m above the ground when we were discussing the answer. The question ask for height of piston only… which i did solved and then spend another hr to solve the height of parachute which the q didn’t ask… mannn.. humm.. what to do…
anyway, we had a great lunch, but end up te teacher can’t join us since he has to held office hour. we talk and personally finally know each one in the class at the end of semester. Well, i know each one of them since there are only 6 of us in class, we do talk, argue, change idea through out the semester, but tday we were talking like how each one of us stranded in this island, island of learning.. hehe.. we only discuss about the test for 5 min, but the conversation turn to more relax afterward. we arrived at micha’s around 1.20 and not leaving until 3.20pm. it really help me to forget about the test, but not until when i write at this blog. the frustration comes back.. humm
well, we’ll see how i’m doing with the test very soon. I really pray for good grade since I’ve been working very hard for this class for the whole semester, that i almost neglect other thing such as my research. I stay at school 10-5 everyday working on my classes, and went home sometimes still working on it for just these 2 classes. I hope it does pay all my effort. Well, next test will be on wednesday. So, got to study… adioss

today is dec 3,2006.it’s 4 days before final. and it’s 3 days before my projects due. and what i’m doing right now is watching tv, eating, surfing and of cos sleeping.. i guess i’m in depress, depress to have this semester over, but at the same time, don’t want it to over yet.. i’m dead worried with my fortran program.. somebody who is good, can you help me.. and yet i worried about so many things.. i haven’t have a good progress over my thesis, which i keep saying everything will be ok after this semester because i’m not planning to take any class but just to concentrate on my research.. so, i won’t have a winter break other than to start doing my research.. huhu..
man, i really can’t wait to finish my study overall, not just my semester.. ok, time to do my hw 1st, then finish at least 1 project..yes, 3 days to finish 2 hw, 2 project, 1 exam. then to prepare for 2 final exam. Time ticking so fast.. I’m down with 1 hw, 1 FORTRAN project, since the MATLAB one almost finish. And I guess no time to study for exam, I’ll come not prepare but try to do my best ever…
