Tick tock tick tock....

It’s been over a month since I started working as a temporary assistant in my college’s computer lab. It’s too boring here, so I’ve decided to blog a little about it :P

The time couldn’t be "better" when I punch in for my first day, new computers arrive from KL to replace the old computers in some of the lecturer’s room and the computer labs over here. That means we’ve to carry all those computers around in college, replacing the old computers in the lecture room, which is situated on the 3rd floor and there’s NO elevator! So which to speak that we’ve to carry those computers up the staircase all the way up to the 3rd floor. This is the not so boring stuff as we get to move around.

As soon as we’re done replacing all of the lecturer’s computer (took us like over a week I guess), we’re assigned to jaga the computer labs. Before you say “Wah! So nice, can go online…”, let me tell you that the computer labs doesn’t have internet access, only one specific lab called the Internet Lab have internet access but the speed is on par with the speed of a crawling siput babi (snail). So most of the time, I’m just sitting there waiting for lunch time and to punch out (time to go home...whee!). Basically our job is to keep a record of the student’s attendance for their classes in the lab and also to keep a record of the students who uses the computer to do their assignment. Occasionally we’ll help the students who is pretty much clueless about how to install the pendrive driver (it’s running on Windows 98!) or to print (cuz the printer is really capalang and you can only feed it with 1 paper at a time, and also print one page at a time cuz if your file contains more then 1 page, after printing the 1st page, the 2nd page’s alignment would be out!). Well, I’d prefer to help them rather then just sit down, but the problem is most of them speaks Mandarin to me and I’ve to struggle through the conversation! Even the Indian students here speaks fluent Mandarin (*malu-fied*) and some can even speak Hokkien! Ok lah, enough about this.

This year’s CF is kinda fun for me. Mainly because there’s people I’m familiar with is in the CF (namely, Vincent, Hooi Siang, Sher Anne and occasionally Swee Kit =)) or probably it’s due to the fact that I’m a committee? =P Hehe! I really thank God for putting Hooi Siang (and the rest) in our CF as he’s like the “noisemaker” in the CF! Without him, probably it won’t be that lively already. Anyway, I think I didn’t really played my responsibility that well yet. As I’m the Prayer Coordinator, but yet to start the weekly prayer meeting or “prayer box” thingie where people can pop in what they want us to pray for into the box. Numbers are dropping from the member list, a common sight in our CF =P but still we need to pray about it (note to self). Recently, our CF's topic is regarding "Character and Gifting". The speaker, (whose name I terlupa >.<”), gave us a bunch of questions to answer (a total of 140 questions @.@) in order to find out what primary and secondary temperaments do we possess, such as Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic.

I’ll try to get the questions posted here, or maybe somewhere else so that you guys may try it out too =D but then somehow I think my primary temperament is wrong lah cuz through that test I got Sanguine as my primary and Melancholy as my secondary. I think it should be the other way round or another combination, but then, doing 140 questions at 5pm, it raises a lot of doubts in my ability to process and understand what I read from the questions =P I might do it again when my brain’s tuned to the right frequency hehe!
