Another One Day

As usual, it was busy this week as I pored into books to study for exams. The test I had on Friday was not good. In my opinion, it was a messy and unorganized paper. There were lots of ambiguity and they had to give us an extra 20 minutes to finish the paper. Well, at least, I had a delicious meal at Kelsey's with my friends after the exam.

I could not stay up too late on Friday night because I had a math review session the next morning. Nevertheless, YY and I decided to take a nice walk around campus after my review session. Spring is finally here! The snow is melting, but it is causing a mess everywhere (I hate the slush...).

First, we went to ETLC (Engineering Teaching & Learning Complex). This is where most of my classes are held. It is a relatively new building and so the lecture halls are big and spacious.

Then, we went up to the second floor.

We proceeded to explore the Chemical Engineering Building. Well, it was more of me showing YY around the engineering faculty. I am very familiar with this part of campus. After all, it is where I go to everyday.

There are two new engineering buildings (and I forgot the name of these buildings), but whatever it is...they are very pretty! We could not go inside that new building as it was locked, and so we could only take some pictures from the outside.

See the equations on the wall? Haha! This is the diffusion concentration equation(I think). And the one above has the "summation of forces equal to zero" equation :P

Then, we went to SUB (Student's Union Building) to have lunch. On the way there, we went to the small, enclosed rainforest in GSB (General Services Building). It really felt warm and humid there - felt like I was back in Malaysia already :P

There's still some snow around, but bits of green and soil can be seen now. I can't wait till the grass and leaves come back to life!

On our way back, we saw a house situated behind our residence. We have always wondered what it was each time we walked down that path. Since we had much time to spare, we decided to go in and take a look. To our surprise, it was actually a restored home of Alberta's first premier, Alexander Cameron Rutherford and his family. It is known as the Rutherford House; it is also a teahouse. We paid $3.00 to go in and have a look around the house. The house was old and very British-like. The both of us found the study room (library) very nice and authentic...although it was dark and a little eerie. I found the dinning hall pretty eerie...

It was a nice day out. And our little tour inside this house was interesting too. The house was not fantastic, but it was still nice. I bet most of the students here are unaware of the existence of this provincial historic site. I am glad we went in after much curiosity we both had in the past.

Last night, we borrowed video tapes from HCA to watch. Lilo & Stitch was a really nice cartoon and so was Treasure Planet! I really loved Treasure Planet. Really hillarious cartoon. Simple and natural.

Well, well... time to get back to studying...I still have one exam to go on Monday. -_-

about me

Home: KL, Malaysia
School: U of A

I am someone who frets a lot - I call it a psychological disorder. I am constantly trying to escape my complex mind which, very often, drives me and my close companions to the edge of insanity. Born under the sun star Libra, I am greatly affected by a disease called "indecisiveness". Nicknames were never part of my dictionary until I met some people who decided to name me "turtle". Soon, I was representing a zoo of hamsters, "sotongs", pigs, cats, etc...
