adrianism…

Just as i was about to rejoice, that my phone was alive, but now, IT’S DEAD AGAIN! After merely 3 days (and 2 nights) since Telekom contractors were seen busy fixing back the cables, the ‘cable thief(ves)’ has struck again! Well, i really don’t know how TM is going to deal with this problem, but this problem sure is causing lots of hassle to the users (especially those who do not have handphone, and those who use the internet a lot, and those who rely on the use of fax service). I’m really curious to know who are those behind these events…

Anyway, are other reasons to rejoice! The Prime Minister of Malaysia will be visitng Curtin University, Miri Campus on Saturday the 10th of February 2007. i will definitely be going - it’s an wonderful opportunity to meet the PM For those interested to come, know that YAB Dato’ Seri is expected to arrive campus at 2pm (we should be there at least half an hour before he is expected to arrive). Btw, Dato’ Seri was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from Curtin University of Technology of Western Australia sometime in 2006.

Today as i drove to campus, many people were busy preparing for the PM’s visit: the road sweepers were seen busy sweeping the road leading to the uni (from the roundabout near DPS), the grass cutters cutting the ‘lallang’ beside the 2 sides of the road nearer Curtin, the ‘makcik’ cleaners wiping the outer side of the doors of each room (well, at least for the G2 block - i saw this with my own eyes ok, no exageration), and Mr. Rama, the director for Media studies was also busy preparing the media lab (it was the only time i saw the doors to the media lab open, and i managed to peek into the room and look at the spohisticated media instruments, video cameras, lightings, and that huge ‘apple computer’ which only the media students have the privilage to touch :P) And other staffs seem to be busy as well.

Oh ya, and on Sunday (11/2/07), the Higher Minister of Education will also be visiting Curtin. He is expected to arrive the campus at 10:15am. Not sure if i will be able to make it for this one though.

I’ve always liked to meet VIPs - especially leaders. The last the when Tun Dr. Mahathir visited Curtin, i was very happy to be present as part of the campus’ community and at least shake hands with him However, i missed the King’s visit to the uni.

Ah well, getting back to the phone line story. i just hope that this time i won’t have to wait for another 3 weeks before my phone line to be restored. It is very inconvinient, especially when i’m the only one having a handphone in my family. I really hope that this issue can be resolved. On the other hand, i’m looking forward to shake hands with the PM
