This Is Me

A daily unhappy entry as opposed of the usual daily happy entry.

I’m typing in this entry with heavy eyes. The reason being that I have not slept since yesterday! I’ve been working hard on my school assignment.

The past week has been a very tough week. We basically had two PBL subjects. If you don’t know what is PBL, let me give you a brief walkthrough.

PBL stands for problem-based learning. A PBL subject basically is about solving problems, real life problems humans like you and me encounter. PBL subjects are not like our typical subjects we’ve been taught in secondary school. In a PBL class, we are given a problem and then we would have to research on the internet or library to find a solution. There’s no usual spoon feeding from teachers.

Imagine having 2 PBL assignments due within the same week and they are only a day apart. The thing about PBL is that it requires a lot of time and individual researching and self study.

I’ll just get straight to the point. We pretty much did quite well for our first PBL assignment on Monday which was a subject called Business Integrated Technologies.  A second PBL assignment for Distributed Systems and Connectivity is due on Wednesday.

Mind you it is a programming subject. It’s not easy. We were too focused on Business Integrated Technologies to the point that we didn’t have enough time for Distributed Systems and Connectivity.

My groups and I finished our presentation and in my opinion, it went horrible. Basically we are suppose to design an application based on distributed systems.

I didn’t have time to complete my application and most of the functions are not working. Thus, I was standing infront of the class and talking like a fool without sleep and groggy.

My teacher asked whether if she gave us another day, will I be able to complete it?

That question seems to signify that I did not manage to complete to even hit the passing criteria and she’s considering giving me a second chance.

I shall not continue my blabber about how it’s tough for polytechnic students to enter into local university.

All I’m saying is that I’m upset.

Terrible week.

I have been so busy lately and will be even super busy in the upcoming week. 2 test and 2 assignment submission for next week! Major insanity.

Anyways, last thursday July 16, 2009. Yes it’s been about more than a week, my iMac arrived! It’s like finally!

This is the specification of my iMac,

• 24″ Glossy Display
• 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• 4GB 1066 MHz DDR3 SD RAM
• 640GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
• ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
• Apple Mighty Mouse & Keyboard

And of course it comes with iLife, MAC OS X and so on and so forth. I can’t wait for Snow Leopard to be out! I got another offer, Snow leopard for 9USD only! This machine runs blazing fast. Comparing to my Macbook, 2.4GHz and 4GB RAM. It’s way better even though the specification is nearly the same.

It cost about $3050 all in all. It’s a gift from my parents for doing well in school! Hopefully i can still do well in school.. I’m finding this semester difficult.. I don’t wanna disappoint them. Anyways, since it was a gift i had to somewhat take advantage of the opportunity given. I specifically configured mine at the Apple Store,Yes i know you get more for what you pay for like any other computer like DELL, HP but it’s not a mac, I got the most expensive graphics card that money can buy for the iMac. Yes, I know I’m such as asshole. But i play games at times too! Speaking of games, i so love Left 4 Dead and i can’t wait for Left 4 Dead 2 is be out. I’m digressing.

Nevertheless, my iMac is so heavy. The exact weight is 11.5 kg. I had a hard time carrying it alone into my room after it got delivered. Let the pictures do the talking!

Hugely written. ‘Assembled in China.” – Finely printed at the bottom.

It’s thin and have 2 USB ports and yet it’s sturdy. It feels heavy.

Totally loving it.

My macbook and loads of wires on my desk.

It’s not that glossy. It still has a plastic warp around it.

What? Only one wire? The power cord only? Sucks to be you, Windoze Users. Well.. unless you’re using a windows laptop then you win me LOL. I still have the Keyboard and mouse wire.

Pretty much, everything in my room is white..

The slit where you actually push in the CD or DVD.

And then my skin arrived for my ipod touch. I got this plaid design which is somewhat close to Burberry’s design.

And it also comes with a matching wallpaper! I paid $13 only for it. Cheap or what huh? I’m so in love with the design. And i absolutely love my gorgeous iMac.
