Tick Tock

One test down.
Another to go.
Calculus was....interesting.
I really did try my best but i got a whole lot wrong anyway.
I know so cause our lecturer gave us the answer sheet as a little souvenir.
Funny how i could get zero as an answer for one question but the right answer was some number.
Oh wait, that's cause i forgot about using the conjugate method.
Sigh.

On the bright side, i now have international friends here in Inti..like after one month. Just got to know some African girls living on the ground floor. =D I have African friends, you got or not? HAHA. They have the canggih-est names. Like Oetla and Nkamo. The way one pronounces these African names are not as simple as 'Ah Beng' or 'John' or 'Ali'. It requires some..tongue skill. That sounds wrong..but yeah.

Oh, they're from Botswana by the way. Some cross-cultural insights garnered from my conversation with the girls.

1. They think our Malaysian culture of leaving shoes outside the house/room is weird.
2. They think we eat and awful lot, which is true. In Botswana, they only eat during specific meal times. Here, people eat 24/7.
3. RM1 is equivalent to 3Pula.
4. Inti-UC is like more modernized than their capital city..and to think we complain about being surrounded by dense verdant forests.
5. Their largest shopping mall is smaller than our Learning Resource Centre(which is a small, block of 4 levels housing the library and lecture rooms).

Hahaha. =)
