Well I’m truly well over this assignment for tonight ,, it’s a mammoth programming assignment which I’m doing by myself so it’s taking time but slowly slowly I’m get there. Was a hectic weekend with going out on both Friday and Saturday night, Friday involved checking out a nightclub in called soho ,polishing a few drinks I tried my moves on a nonexistent dance floor and then met a few other international Swinny students. After an hour or so we decided to head off to our normal hangout place where a few nightclubs are situated called travillien. We walked around a little at one instant having no idea where we were going so wer camped ourselves at a road intersections asking people to drive us there for 10 ringgit, asked a guy with a broken guitar for directions only for him to ask for money ,, me keeping to confuse things further by suggesting wrong directions :) but eventually we got to where we wanted. Place called ringtap, its further out of the city and seriously full of locals only , with Malay music pumping and people staring, the place has a completely different vibe compared to other places where been to. General Observations and highlights of the night were
- First time I’ve seen gay guys in Malaysia, Sam gave a go trying to dance with them ,, heh funny as
- Seriously amazing how guys swarm to the all the girls, totally boxing them in and not allowing them to move , totally persistent ( Well this was on the dance floor )
- Amazing how the girls could be dancing with one guy and then suddenly revert to another guy ( for instants dancing beside her or something ) like it happen to get once or twice where this girl would start dancing with me and the bloke totally pissed off and infuriated, I remember thinking no way lady your not bring me into your world ..
- For some reason if there are a group of girls huddle together some random dude would try and convince me to try and pick one up,, no idea but they think us white guys can break the ice for them to join them , get beaten up by weary guys no idea
- Under the watchful eye of Dan, I was noted immediately of the presents of sheboys entered the place. Not like everything would happened but I couldn’t tell.

After coming home late at night me and Sam manage to have a fire extinguisher show down , unfortunately for us we live right beside the warden napie which heard us straight away I got away through the thick cloud of smoke ( felt bad the next morning ) I promised I wouldn’t be disruptive but at the end of the day we didn’t damage anything and I’m sure he understands.
Uni’s going well , seem to be managing well, did have a period last week which was kinda intense , had to do with submitting documents for final year project. I did a large portion of the writing and seem to do I fairly good job at it ,, ( using my experiences from last year ) which improved my understanding of what needs to be throughout at the beginning of designing software. I’ve got good guy members but sometime they seem to think rather limited ,, actually that’s an under statement , like the night before the document was due and explained to one of the guys what topics he needed to discuss ,, the following day I meet him before the presentation with these words “ do you know the stuff we were talking about yesterday ,, I couldn’t really think of anything to type” I manage to predetermine something like that was going to happen so I tried to cover it,, maybe next time I’ll spend more time so that this doesn’t happen again. Also last week we had a lunch with a few external and internal uni representatives,, like the pro chancellor for Swinburne Sarawak, people from hawthorn and America interesting to hear our experience so far.

This weekend going to the bako national park for 2 days ,, get camping gear so I better start thinking about that or else I’m have something stupid to blog early next week ,,
Also got my laptop and wireless connection decked out in my hostel room , still got the joint for myself! Also got my Skype account working ( account : luca.grossi ) so if your got it setup give me a buzz !
