Yep exams are back. Studies will soon commence with renewed vigor, the need to puff it all away will intensify as well.
This sem has been fun in ways. Met new people, made new friends, some who i've never seen and most probably will never see. Good and bad things are happening all around.
Why do bad things happen to good people and vice versa? where does one make the distinction? How does one stay strong? I wish i could answer all these questions but can't. I guess thats where faith comes in. Difficult part is to hold on to it i guess.
We do a lot of things in life, some more admirable than the others, i guess its all a part of growing up.
Not feeling up to it to write more.
have fun guys.

Debating and all
A lot has happened in the past few weeks. Mostly debating. On the 7th and 8th of March we were at the National Novice Debate Championship. We broke through to the Octo Finals and lost to KDU then. I was ranked 134th out of 216 debaters and our team UniKL MIAT 1 was ranked 13th out of 71 teams. We were quite satisfied with our performance being that it was our first Intervarsity tournament. Met a lot of cool guys including the KDU guys, MMU Melaka, and MMU cyberjaya DUDES!
A week before that, we had the Dean's Cup debate tournament in MIAT. It was an internal tournament and yours truely won the Cup and the Best Speakers Prize.
Giving the briefing to the newbies.
My team: (from left) Arjuna, Me, Stephen.
Recieving the Dean's Cup from the Dean himself.
Recieving the prize for Best Speaker.
Then last weekend, that is Saturday, Sunday and Monday we were at MMU Melaka for the Inaugural Malaysia Debate Open. Awesome event, lot 3 won 3, didn't break but wasnt that bummed about it. It was after all not a novice thing, infact there were plenty of debaters who have competed in the Asians, Australs and the Borneo Debates.
Met up with somemore cool people, namely, Madani, Naz, Ips, Mak, Surfi, Fangz, Danial, Aihad, Paki, Nova, Ammar, Kat etc.
Our team was ranked 36th out of 74 teams and *here comes the best part* I was ranked 68th out of 221 Debaters!!! 68th with no training, no coach, no one to guide us at all. I believe this to be an achievement in itself. Hopefully it gets better, if we can do this without a coach, imagine what we could do with one!
With this post i think i have covered all that has happened so far. Oh yeah, before i forget, we overhauled an Aircraft Piston engine, that means we disassembled it, cleaned it, serviced, lubricated, Inspected(NDT: Dye Penetrant), and Reassembled it. Me is very very proud of myself. This is what i wanted to do and i'm doing it. Life is good now. If we could just get a debate coach and win a tournament or two, i could die a very happy man.

Composite Project
I worked on a Composite project on Saturday night and the whole of Sunday(21st and 22nd of February). The object was to make samples using Kenaf and fiber glass. Now for those of you who may not know, Composites are materials made from two or more materials which are non-metallic in nature. Many aircraft parts are made using composites as it gives a better strength to weight ratio. This means more strength and less weight when compared to metals. The idea was to take an organic material like kenaf which is not used in the Aircraft industry right now, make samples using it and then test and find out if it is suitable for use in the aviation industry. I'll take you through the procedures with the pics below.
Weaving the Kenaf
150g Hardener and 450g Resin
Mixing the resin and hardener. 25 mins and it hardens so not much time for application.
Vaccuum Curing process

The finished product
We made 9 samples in 4 hours. Pretty good considering we were doing it for the first time. It was back breaking work but the results were well worth it.

16 random things
I know i may piss some people off with this but who cares.
These are the rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged.
1. I’m a little mean sometimes. I say things regardless of consequences and don’t sugar-coat things.
2. My most reoccurring dreams are getting shot, falling off a high building and getting hit by a Vehicle.
3. I love insulting people who think they are all high and mighty. Especially teachers.
4. I hate it when people speak grammatically wrong English. If you want to speak a language, speak it right.
5. I love technology. The more advanced the better.
6. I rarely back out of challenges.
7. I’m addicted to FPS games.
8. I like things organized and orderly. Plan out things properly and I get pissed off when someone messes up my plans.
9. I hate it when I lose a game or a match when I know that I can win. If I suck at the thing then I don’t give a damn but when I know that I can win at something, than I hate to lose.
10. I love to talk and argue about things.
11. Speed. I love speed. Bikes, cars anything. I’m incapable of going slow. It calms me down and makes me feel good instantly.
12. I hate bargaining. I’d rather ask for a discount and then buy the thing, but I hate to haggle. I’d rather pay 5 more bucks than haggle for it.
13. I hate cats.
14. I swear and curse a lot with my friends. I behave around elders but with my friends I’m totally candid.
15. I’m a perfectionist. When I do something I do it right. I don’t care if I have to go the extra mile for it and spend more money or time. It’s either I won’t do something at all or I’ll do it the best way possible.
16. I can’t stand wimps. People who bitch and moan about how difficult something is or how it is an inconvenience. If I can do it, so can you. Either don’t say you’ll do it, or just do it. Excuses are bullshit. Also people who are afraid of driving fast. I hate them too.
I tag Stephen, Pearlyn, Ben, and whoever wasted their time reading this.

not much
Yep. Not much. Nothing much going on. Bought a BB pellet shotgun. Shot everything in sight. Have started going to the gym, sore all over. On a diet. <- i know its funny. Just thought a change would do well. Uni is a bore. A promising event is upcoming. I hope it rocks! Listening to Khudi by Junoon right now and loving it. The lyrics, Salman Ahmed's Guitar and Ali Azmat's voice are a splendid mix. Hoping against hope that Arsenal signs Arshavin. Thats it.
bye
bye
