So, I can't think of a title for this blog and I decided to borrow the new theme from WoW's Wrath of the Lich King. By the way I haven't wowed for months.
Ok. The past hectic week was over. I submitted all my problem sets for this week and I survived my Advanced Micro quiz last friday. Columbus weekend is coming and this will be a nice break, with no problem sets due next week except for Advanced Quant class. So glad.
The funny thing is my life is so academically revolved nowadays. Instead of worrying on project deadlines, I worry on problem sets ... hahah ... and to be honest, problem sets give me more jitters than when I was back in the workforce. Anyway, I had dinner with the Asian Pacific American Caucus today. A bunch of nice people and I look forward to meeting them again.
An update on my election campaign. The poll results came out today and I lost. Ahhhhh ... as much as I wanted to lament on my defeat, I am happy that I ran! Yes, I knew my odds were not high going into the race with 2 Americans. Both have very organized election teams (yes! we are talking about teams here ... teams of people who were serious enough to wear suits everyday the past week when they campaigned) while all I have is myself. One of them appeals to the Democrats and the other, Republicans in my school. And along came a kampung kid from Malaysia running against them. ;p My classmates were asking me, "Are you crazy?" No, not at all when I can make a bunch of people listen to my Malaysian english. Being a public speaker is about getting the message across and I knew I did. Unfortunately, I don't know enough people yet, or I have the clout to sway the voters over. Neither a Dem nor a Rep but always that boy willing to try. My key takeaway from this experience is friends. Within 1 week, I made so many new friends, whom would have taken me significantly longer time to meet. A cause well worth it.
