First off, it was the
Throat Infection!
Oh btw, Im recovering.. I've got my voice back (emm around 80%). Coughs still accompany me thou'.. =( Still on medication, which explains my constant drowsiness n subsequently slight moodiness, don't worry, I still don't bite.
Secondly, a few days back..
Virus/Adware/Malware(etc) Infection!
As a Computer student, eek.. I should have known better. (I was greedily downloading freebies before this happened .. haha) It can be regarded as the 'smartest' virus(I don't even know if it is a virus or what) of the lot I have encountered ever!
Here are its symptoms:-
- It changes your desktop wallpaper into something else, with the message 'Your PC is infected (smth like tat)' in the middle.
- It cuts out any connection with any anti-virus/spyware/adware software websites, which means no access to AVG, AdAware, Spybot, blabla.. None! In other words, I cannot update any of my anti-virus/spyware/adware softwares.
- It distrupts googling! Every first 3 links(yeah.. erriely it is always d 1st 3 links!) from the results of a google search leads me to some other sites which are totally not related.. Their address was similar (http://go.google.com/....)
- It distrupts your websurfing experience. Examples, fonts are bigger than they typically are, and halfway through, a popup comes out stating that my PC is infected. No way to escape it, except to click 'OK' or 'x'. I just realised I can't even upload a pic to Blogger!
Solutions I took:
- Googled for some solutions, but still to no avail
- Scanned the whole PC repeatedly. Detected, removed the virus or 'whatever it is' already. But it still bugs my PC!
Possible Last Resort : REFORMAT! (Walao.. mafan lah)
Thirdly,
'Terms' Infection!
It seems like all the lectures recently are filled with many many new/old terms, jargons, whatever you call em. Which also means more memorising.. Which also mean torture! =(
Hands-on work? Yay!
Symptoms of 1-hr-bombarded-by-terms session:
- Dazed
- Bleary-eyed
- Yawns
- Growling tummy
Anyways that's the reality of lectures.. Lecturers have no choice but to cover the syllabus that they have to cover. What to do?

Tutorials? Yay!
Lectures? No Yay!

Alright, back to working on solving the 'virus'. May God bless me..
