[286] Of accepted application

I was browsing through my emails and reading some stuff from Greenpeace and Environmental Defense, materials from classes when suddenly, I saw:

Congratulations. Your application has been accepted.

Internship for 4 months baby! The best thing is, it’s out of Ann Arbor! Out of Michigan! Out of the US! In Europe!

Who’s your daddy!!!

p/s – I have to go for a board review to see my prospective employer. And I thought it was a done deal. Lesson – always read after the congratulations paragraph. Ada udang di sebalik batu walaupun udangnya tidaklah terlampau besar.

[283] Of summer internship

Eastern Europe for the whole spring and summer anybody? Looks like my chance of getting an internship is going brighter than expected. w00t!

Anyway, a friend invited me to go to some conference. Sounds fun but it’s Friday. All I want to do on Friday is to complete my work on ReCom Newsletter, settle some annoying insurance issue (all due to the incompetent people. I hate incompetent folks.) and then catch up some sleep before hell week starts.

But then, I made an explicit promise. So, I’ll be in Business School for some part of the day. The only problem is that it makes me nervous hanging around with business people.
Who could expect what those devils are thinking all the time?

I bet it’s world domination. Hey, Michigan Business School is only second after Harvard’s. I’m sure they are thinking big.

[282] Of life and homework

Life is unfair. It is just about the third week of class and I have one exam to worry on Thursday, 3 more assignments, one computer based and an interview for an internship abroad. The pressure of a computer assignment is already tremendous. Add that up with an exam, another grain of sand is going to suck me up.

And then, instead of that grain of sand, an interview has just been called up.

I can’t take the pressure. Must graduate in December 2004. Must… graduate…. earlier….

Noooooooooooo…

Anyway, Greenpeace’s Rainbow Warrior (admittedly, the ship name is totally gay) is in Indonesian waters, most probably hunting down illegal loggers. I know it’s old news but, w00t!

One bad news though, bird flu is attacking Asia. Two of Malaysia’s neighbors, namely Thailand and Indonesia have been struck with the epidemic. I suspect Malaysia would announce it first case of bird flu in the near future.

First it was the encephalitis (which was luckily contained with the help of US’ CDC), then bird flu, then SARS and then bird flu again and then and then and then den den den den…

Boy, what has Asia become? Africa?

p/s – Ghost in the Shell 2 is coming out this spring! For its extended 5 minutes trailer go to http://anime.section12.eu.org/. Sorry, I don’t think I should link to it directly. You will need to search for the trailer manually there. And why should you watch the trailer? Because Ghost in the Shell is one of the best animes ever!

[268] Of winter break!

YEAH!!! NO MORE CLASS, at least for another 3 weeks. However, next semester econometrics is going to be a killer.

p/s – there’s an interesting internship offer somewhere at the United Nations. I’m very much interested but I need to find a mininum of USD 2400 for accomodation in New York. Don’t think my parents would give me that money easily. Don’t think the Big Brother would give me the extra gold coins too either.

It’s really tough to find the internship that I want. =(

[266] Of liberating South Quad

Testing ssh/sftp.With A2 covered in snow, West Quad will liberate South Quad from its ugly residents. And to AAPD, you are on my list.

p/s – a joke that I would like to share. It’s an environmentalist joke taken from alt.politics.greens

This is true :

Women use all this toxic crap called make-up, soaps, perfume, etc. etc. all this stuff to make their ugly faces even uglier.

Some “beauty stuff” is really highly toxic! Poisonous! Deadly!

They shower 5 times a day and pollute the environment with all this stuff every day.

They eat lots of diet stuff and other chemicals to become thin (means more ugly) or need medicine against headaches and other crap and piss and shit a lot of highly toxic chemicals because of this.

They probably are full of radioactive isotopes, this radioactive crap is used for this beauty stuff.

They also live longer and have more time for pollution.

Their highly toxic corpses will pollute the ground after their death, even bacteria and worms won’t eat them.

Men don’t use all this “beauty crap” and real men only shower once a week. Men don’t eat all this toxic diet and beauty and anti-headache crap.

And man die sooner, have less time to pollute the world.

The maggots and the worms have no problems with eating male corpses.

So we should treat women like nuclear waste and move their highly toxic bodies beneath the earth, deep beneath the sea or send them to Outer Space.

Less women means less pollution.This is true! Ask scientists.

Women should either stop to use this toxic crap to become less dangerous or must face the consequences (life in anti-radiation security chambers or life in space).
