Lazy way of asking for exam tips

Juniors now a day have never failed to amuse me with their ‘creativity’ side. At one moment, they can be scrambling for tips for almost every paper that they going to sit for exam, to the extend of spamming everyone in their YM list, yet the next thing I realized, they are busy updating Facebook, playing those Facebook games.

This is the problem. They put so much effort to hunt down last minute tips:

1. Meet every single lecturers, 1 day or 1 week before the xam or during the last lecture. Ask for tips and what questions will come out.
2. Tell their friends to ask their lecturers (if it is a different lecturer) the same thing.
3. Posting in online forums, asking for last minute tips and claiming that they are doing it because the lecturers are not helping them, they are not as smart as ’somebody’ so they have to ask for tips or other nonsense.
4. Spamming their contact list in their instant messenger asking for tips for almost every subjects they are taking.

Instead of doing those, why don’t you:

1. Compel yourself to successfully ‘understand’ the subject and pass the exam.
2. Do all your tutorials. Nothing from the tutorials that will not come out in your exam. It may not be similar, but it will be related.
3. You should have spent your time in lectures wisely. No, this does not mean paying  100% attention to your lecturers or achieving 100% attendance. These are nonsense and bullshit. You should have planned how you want to absorb the lecture given. The truth is, human can’t absorb anything 100% and our average attention life-span is 45 minutes. Make full use of that 45 minutes while you are still not yet sleepy. Pay attention to the lecture not the lecturer (I know some lecturers are cute, handsome, hot or they are just eye candy but by staring at them will not make you any smarter).
4. Do past year papers, not for the sake of doing exercise and memorizing on what going to come out but to build confidence and recognize the question patterns. In this way, you know where you can build your confidence. It is useful if you are the type that have low self confidence.

There are other things that you can do:

• Group study. Nothing in this world is free. Help your friends the same way you would expect them to help you.
• Look for tutors, lecturers and seniors who can help. Asking them for help once a while is perfectly fine but bugging them constantly is not. They are not paid for you to bug them constantly. Tutors and lecturers are paid to help you understand the subjects. Help yourself. Show some ‘appreciation’ if they are annoyed by your constant bugging. Once again, nothing in this world is free, so make sure you reward them accordingly.
• Be friends with those lone ranger seniors whom always sit behind because you and your buddies alienated them. By your definition, they may not be smart. Even if they are repeating that subject, they are indeed experienced (only applicable to those whom previously did not fail because they were once like you). Make full use of their experience. You do not want to be one of them if it so happen the next time you have to repeat your subjects.

This is a very popular practice in many universities, but not in MMU. There are external tutors that you can hire to give you tuition. They may be your own tutors, academicians from other universities or your seniors. They work the same way like your tuition teachers back during the school days. You pay them and they will try their best to help provided you are helping yourself. You might ask yourself, I have already paid so much to MMU for my fees, why do I need to fork out more money. My answer is, there is nothing as free lunch and do you want to pay a small amount of money to increase your likeliness of passing the subjects or you want to pay a hefty price(the term here implies the consequences of failing a subject) for repeating a failed subject and having your CGPA affected and Fs written on your transcripts?

Some of you who knows me may say of course I can say all these because I am ’smart’ or I am ‘different’. I can assure you I am different and smarter than you because I have only 15 minutes attention life-span, I definitely know how to differentiate what kind of approach that I need to take for my subjects and I am smart enough to know how to make good use of the time I spent in lectures. At the same time, I am no different or smarter than you. I am still a student and I still need to study.

WTF is F cup cookies?

Just noticed this advertisement in facebook… this is surely look retarded…

Finally i got my HDMI cable

What’s life if you have HDMI capable 24″ LCD and a HD graphic card with HDMI output if you do not have HDMI cable? I bought my Dell 24″ lcd a couple of month back. Soon enough, I discovered that DVI cable is not enough. Why not take the audio processing off from the CPU (my audio is built-in to mobo) and place it on the GPU since most of the time I do not run graphic intensive applications. I watches HD movies and listen to songs most of the time.

Today, I decided to get a HDMI cable. Plugged it in to my graphic card and the LCD, some configurations in Windows Control Panel, and I am done. Sound will be produced from my graphic card, sent to the LCD via HDMI cable. Next, I hooked up the headphone to the back LCD panel, tested it and there’s sound. I will test the sound quality when I have the time.

And now, after feeling that my LCD should be complete with the addition of the HDMI cable, I deserve a self pride to show off my 24″ and it’s companions.

Triple screen arrangement. The CRT and LCD hooked up to the desktop with a single GPU and the desktop is linked to the laptop with Synergy2. Synergy2 works like kvm switch but without the hardware. It runs on booth desktop and laptop to provide seemless link and make use only a single mouse and keyboard to control both machines. The PDA is just a show that all the above displayed gadget is powered by Microsoft Windows.

Rules for MMU Freshies

Freshie is a loose term for freshman in MMU. Ever since I came to MMU, the word freshmen is like taboo. Maybe freeshie is a word used by the seniors inadvertly to mock the juniors.

Well, being here in MMU for 4 consecutive years and I am still in Beta (2nd year degree equivalent), I have the bragging rights as a senior. And over the years, we have seen juniors coming in after our batch. Just when we thought we were the pathetics ones when weclo first came to MMU, the juniors are even more pathetic than us.

I didn’t make all the rules myself, rather, it is compiled from word of mouth and modified from a chain letter.

1. You are a FRESHMAN. Only we, the seniors have the rights to call you freshie.
2. Don’t brag how many seniors you know or which seniors you know. The more you do it, the more we can tell you are a stupid freshman.
3. Don’t hang your ID around your neck. We do not care who you are unless you are a female and you are attractive.
4. Don’t think you are smart if you can escape from being fined by the security. We all have done it.
5. Don’t bother introducing yourself to senior girls. Either they are taken or they are not available.
6. Don’t wear formal attire to class. When you sweat, it looks disgusting and no girls will not come close to you. Only wear it for presentation and change immediately after that.
7. Don’t brag how smart you are in class or else we will throw our projects and assignments to you.
8. Don’t try to sit behind the class. Those seats belong to your seniors. You should sit in front and concentrate.
9. Don’t act like you are a senior. The senior girls know you are really a freshman. It is written all over you.
10. Don’t even tell us “You were once freshies too”. Yes, we were once, but we ain’t anymore. So shut up and keep your head low.
11. Don’t think you are cool coz you went clubbing. We all have done it.
12. Don’t brag how many times you went to the gym. The bended weight bars in the gym are speaks for itself how long we have been visiting the gym.
13. Don’t try to cheer or scream ‘You rock’ at grandhall concert. They ain’t cool coz you have to sit on the chairs while watching the rock performances. Its the rules and it sucks.
14. Don’t try to brag how many times you got summoned for having cigarettes in hostel. We will think you are dumb enough not to hide it during spot checks.
15. Don’t ever remind the lecturer about giving assignments or when it is due. You are ought to get beaten by the seniors sitting behind if you do it.
16. Don’t ever make fun of your seniors who are taking subjects such as Math Tech 1, Engine Math 1, Circuit Theory, CP1, we will make sure you will suffer in the class for the rest of the semester.
17. If you know of a senior who is not in the class when the lecturer is calling his/her name, the answer is not ‘I saw him/her in the previous class’. You are to keep your mouth shut.
18. A note to all freshmen guys: Do not go around bragging how many girlfriends you have or how many girls you dated in MMU. We all know your dick haven’t grow yet and you are lying.
19. A note to all freshmen girls: Do not go around camwhoring and posting your pictures. You have nothing to show… yet. Do not attempt to wear your little sister’s clothes. The only seniors that are going to see your pictures are those sick, perverted nerds or otakus. Even the geeks’ girlfriends are better than you.
20. A note to all freshmen: You own the lowest possible social ladder. Stop hitting on the seniors. Consider yourself lucky if you aren’t beaten up by their boyfriend/girlfriend.
21. It’s no big deal if you touched a boob before. We all have done it.
22. Stop boasting about how a senior treat you nicely and bring you out for yamcha. Probably they just felt sympathic.
23. When we have seniors only party, freshmen are to stay guard at the door. If you attempt to have freshies’ party, we will make sure everyone in the campus are invited.
24. Stop thinking life is though and shit in MMU. We will make it even shittier.
25. You are not as hot as the graduating girls of 107XXXXXXX, 106XXXXXXX, 105XXXXXXX, or before. You have small boobs, small ass and you are like a 12 y/o.
26. Freshmen must give up seats on the T429 bus to your seniors. We have spent 3-4 years standing, and now its your turn.
27. We don’t care to remember your name. Your name is ‘108′ to us.
28. We all went thru these shit. That’s why we are your senior!

Consider this as a message from us 107, 106, 105 or before.

Congratulation to those who are graduating this June 2009. You don’t suck anymore.
