|first day, first class|

The day has finally arrived, the day that I've been waiting for. Usually I'm dreadful when the semester is about to start but I have a really good feeling about this, considering that this is my last semester and I can't wait to finish it. How did it goes??? Tell you the story.

I've been thinking that my posts are too long so I decided to get straight to the point rather than creating a novel. Since LSP402 - Scientific and Medical English is not going to start classes until Jan 3, so my next class today is at 2.00 p.m., which is Linear & Integer Programming. But since I've been watching Gossip Girl Season 2 until 7.00 a.m., so I've decided to get some sleep first and then at 1.00 p.m., I'll get up and be ready for classes. But I woke up at almost 2.00 p.m., so in a hurry, I just brushed my teeth, considering that I already took my bath early in the morning. Hitch a ride to my class with my roomate (without helmet) and I was 7 minutes late, but fortunately the class was about to start. Review on the lecturer, Pn. Che Rohani Yaacob: she needs to be aware that her students including me are falling asleep at the sound of your little voice. You need to project your voice a little futher so that the whole class can hear you. Your class is not big enough, just a mere 20-30 students, but you make it like we were in a lecture, unable to hear your voice. And be more...hmmm...cheerful in the class, alright???

Next class: MSG356 - Mathematical Programming taught by Dr. Joshua Ignatius. If Dr. Teh Su Yean, my C++ lecturer is the definition of hotness of all the female lecturers in the School of Mathematical Sciences, then Dr. Joshua Ignatius is the definition of handsomeness of all the male lecturers in the said school. He decided to change the class from BT138, G03 to BT204, SoMS, and instead of 3 hours lecture and 1 hour tutorial, he decided to have 2 2-hours lecture and tutorial at the same time, 3-5 p.m. and that means my Friday are free. YESSSSSS!!! I love it!!! Thank you so much. Review on him: small handwriting, and I think he is the only lecturer who try to convince his students to drop his class, so that when he got 4 students left, the class is no longer available and he's free to do anything he wants. Lame excuse, and speaking of lame excuse, he asked me in the class, why the course is my second choice? I said that the previous course started at 8.00 a.m., and what a lame excuse that is. But luckily they buy it as a joke...hahhahaha.

Well, it's not that bad at all, and I think it's off to a good start, if only I sleep well. 

Cheerssss

|review: station one|

Imagine you paid RM 7.90 for a half cup of cappuccino, and another RM 15.50 for a meal that tastes like...almost tasteless??? Well folks, welcome to Station One, a cafe on the edge of Queensbay that is going down like hell in this my ever first review of the place where I eat, but instead of filling your belly with ambrosia rather than butterfly, it fills your pocket with butterflies. Such a waste of money, and your time there. Wanna know the story???

It was a boring Sunday, waiting for the time to pass, so I went to QB for a nice meal. Round and round I go, went to KFC, but the house is full, went to the restaurant below, but it's too crowded there, so I decided that I'm going to burn my pocket with a nice but expensive set of meal. Got to enjoy your life to the fullest right??? So I've decided on Station One, and there I was, ordering a nice cup of cappuccino and a grilled chicken chop rice. So I've waited and waited and when the cappuccino came, I am so excited but the moment my lips touched that cup, I knew this is not gonna be a nice meal after all. Proof:

After the foam is scooped out, and I drank like three spoonful of that shit...

There, do you see it??? They filled half of the cup with foam, and there you have it, a half cup of cappuccino that tastes nothing like a cappuccino at all. Seriously, it's bad, and I'm thinking Starbucks is even worth your money than this.

 

Next on the menu: grilled chicken chop rice, and do you notice that I didn't capitalize the first letter of that meal??? Yeah, 'cause I don't have every respect for this thing; the rice is horrible, it looks plain, but to be nice, the chicken is good, but not awesome. More surprises: 

OH MY GOODNESS!!!

What's that in the circle??? Owh yeah, HAIR!!! Seriously, don't they have any sense of hygiene at all, or some kind of ethics when preparing the meal??? Thank goodness, it's not even armpit hair or worse, PUBIC!!! Now I'm going to puke...

I ordered another drink, hot chocolate, to wash all those horrible tastes from my taste bud, and well, it is nice. So how much it burned my pocket today???

RM 15.50 + RM 7.90 + RM 5.50 + service charges RM 2.89 (BULLSHIT!!!) = RM 31.80!!!

And I am so disappointed. Hope the manager read this, and if you do, don't forget to leave a comment, thank you. But to be fair, I had a great time today; physically the place is not bad after all:

The scenery there.

The deco is nice, and I like the stage there, for bands to perform. Now I'm thinking The Echoes should play there. See the first picture there, a mural on the wall??? There's a quote that says:

"Stranger is just a friend that I haven't met"

which implies that it is a great social place to hang out, except that it's not really a place to hang out when the meal is...ughhh. But it's my first time there, so who knows maybe the second time I get there, maybe the meal is not so bad after all. Stars to give:

2.9

Cheersssss!!!
