Calling it a day
I've been to Sunway Pyramid twice in two days.
Before I elaborate on that, let me tell you how college was today. The first class for today was biology. Not a good start for a new week. Biology class was moved to block C, room 403 which was a long walk from INTI college to make way for some LAN presentation. Entered the biology class a little late. There was no lecture but we were given extremely tough quizzes ( perhaps I'm not familiar with the way they throw questions at you ) and that's not all, we were given 2 more pages of homework. Darn it. It just keeps piling up. To make matters worse, the book I am referring to for answers doesn't provide any. At some point I just feel like throwing the book away. Anyhow, we didn't manage to complete the quiz and it became additional homework. Sigh. Despite the bad events, the lecturer was kind enough to postpone the deadline for homework as well as the upcoming big quiz. However, the deadline for the assignment on the five kingdoms still remain static. Class was dismissed at 10.00 AM and we walked back to INTI college to room 307 for our mathematics class.
Mr. Yeoh, Physics 101
During math's class, Mr. Ong gave another batch of homework! Anyway, after that was physics practical! Long live the pendulum! Yes, we did another round of acquiring the time for 20 oscillations while changing some variables. Of course we had to tabulate the data and draw a graph. I feel that the physics practical is the easiest so far. Wonder how many more experiments are of pendulums. As usual, completed the task under 1 1/2 hours and fooled around in the laboratory after that. On the contrary, the physics laboratory had nothing except some old computers. Therefore, we spent time chatting and I was taking some pictures. Heh.
Giju having problems with the calculations
Meanwhile, my mom called me on my hand phone to notify me that she is at the A-Levels office. Ivan, Giju and I left the physics laboratory and headed for home. I took a short rest and light food when I reached home and left for Sunway Pyramid. Just a little flashback, I went to Sunway Pyramid yesterday to attempt to get my old computer to function after it failed to start up yesterday. However, when the man switched on the computer, it worked perfectly and bought a 80GB HDD. Although everything seems to be back to normal, as soon as I switched on the computer at home, it could not start up just like before. Therefore, that is why I have to make another trip to Sunway Pyramid today. Today, my mom was obliged to spend a jaw-dropping RM 1000 to replace the motherboard, a new RAM piece and an AMD sempron 3200+ as the aging motherboard seemed to be the cause of the failure. My mother and I went home hoping to test out the new and improved six year old computer.
The new and spanky chips
Guess what? The problem didn't seem to go away even after fitting my newer power supply unit ( Antec 480W ). What in the world is wrong with that computer? My mom brought it back another time but I didn't follow this time. Yup, you've guessed it. The same thing happened again. Gah. I noticed that when it just returned from the shop, it can start up and function normally for a short while. Then, the power just simply fails. I'm thinking that my computer has the ability to store electricity from the shop. LoL.
