A Post by the soon-to-be Emperor of the World =)

Hello people! How are all of you? Hope everyone's good and having the blast of their lives. =p

Anyway, I am currently furthering my studies in Purdue University which is located in the West Lafayette, Indiana which is one of the coldest states in America. (*second or third) Am doing Electrical & Electronics Engineering major, Theoretical Physics minor, Math minor. Hopefully will be able to get these done in 4 years. After that, will most probably do an MBA. Will not be staying in Purdue for 4 years. Currently am applying for transfer to either MIT, Cornell, Berkeley, Stanford for I am not satisfied with being rejected and waitlisted, only not to be able to get a place.

For those who do not know where Purdue is, it's in the middle of a state chokefull of corn that no matter where u turn, be it north, south, east or west, you will see corn and nothing else except corn. Heck, just to get to Wal-Mart, we need to a 20 minute bus ride through cornfields. zZz.
Here's the logo of Purdue which is so.... so.... bleh. Train's our mascot. The Boilermaker. Thus our nick, the Boilermakers.

My apologies if I have not been able to keep in touch that frequently with everybody. Have been really really really crazily busy. Am taking maximum credit hours = 18 and am active in 6 clubs. They are the Purdue Kendo club, Purdue International Student Alliance, Institute of Electrical & Electronic Engineers - Purdue Branch/Division, Purdue University Malaysian Student Association, Purdue Ballroom Dancing Club, Purdue's Gentlemen Club.

Lecturer's here are average or slightly above average. Though I do hate a few of the TA's (Teaching Assistants) here and wanna rip out their guts and entrails. Those insolent bast@$ds are bloody arrogant fools who look down on others. Bah. However, my English lecturer is the coolest teacher I have met.

Moving on, I attended several Halloween parties(*in which i dressed up), stayed in a cabin in the woods near Patoka lake, toured West Lafayette, watched Eagle Eye in the local cinema(*which cost 8.75 USD just for the ticket), watched Chicago(*the play), talked and shook hands with James Earl Jones and Robbie Williams =p, and others more which is too much to list.

Weather here is extremely cold. Temp's now around -2 to 21 degrees Celcius. Its fall and I've heard that once it hits winter, it should be -20 to -8 degrees Celcius average. & thats minus the wind chills. Been getting used to the weather, food especially(*god i miss my mamak, dim sum and nasi lemak), education system, people and lifestyle. For your information people, I finally put on 4 kg. Since I last weighed myself like at least 3 to 5 years ago. =)

Attends kendo practice twice a week, works out at the gym on the weekends. Play sports here and there. Soon, I will be buff and muscular. =P Its slowly coming there. Patience. XD Recently went to the shooting range. Spent 30 Dollars. 10 dollars for 100 pistol rounds, 50 assault rifle rounds. 20 for 1 sniper round. Fired Glock, Ruger, FN, SOCOM, M4 Carbine, AK-47, Barrett Sniper Rifle. =) (*Sniper round was a 50-cal. cost me a bomb)

Will not be going back during the winter. "Accidentally" forgot to book ticket when my dad told me too. =) Most probably will be going to New York, Chicago(*Purdue's 2 hours drive away), Vancouver to skii and Orlando Disneyland.

Will be back next year summer which is probably around June to July, for a month in Malaysia. Then whoever wants to join me on a backpacking trip in Europe is welcomed too for the next month or so. (*still in the planning stage) This is not 100% confirmed though as if I get a hold of an internship position(*which i doubt i do), then I will not be back at all. 2nd year to 4th year. Most probably won't come back to Malaysia at all during summer. Probably doing an internship or be involved in a research project.

A funny yet annoying note: Been mistaken for a Korean, China Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, American-Born Chinese, Canadian Chinese, British-Born-Chinese over here. Had people come up to me saying Ahn-Yang-Ha-Sei-Yo(*Hello in Korean) or Ko-Ni-Chi-Wa(*Hello in Japanese). Some even start babbling away in Cantonese or Mandarin. Getting used to American spelling and pronounciation too. Can't is pronounced "Kent" here. So far, I've been told I've been pronouncing it as "cunt" which is not too good.... been getting a couple of stares here and there.

Recently pre-ordered Red Alert 3! My first original bought game XD! go Piracy! =p just kidding. Anyway, if anyone else wants to play RA3 online with me, email me the time when you wanna meet up and I will definitely try to make time to take the offer! =) Also, will be ordering a PS3 and 27-inch HDTV with a Super Power Chunted Keng Cool Mega Giga Omega Tera Peca pair of headphones. Budget is 1000 USD for all. Please give me your advice and recommendations on what HDTV and Headphones to get. Really appreciate it.

Anyway, thats all for now. Gotta get back to work guys. Will have more to tell soon. =) Ciaoz.
