Today, I totally screwed my maths mid term test. Calculated my results. How pathetic. 1 careless mistake(forgot to add + C after integrating) and the other, a lack of confidence in my answer when it was correct. I could have gotten higher. (Could have... )I didn't have enough time to finish the questions too. I was just so exhausted the entire day. Even after many small "power" naps in between, my exhausion didn't wear off. I was stoning at the paper I didn't even have the energy to think. ok, maybe it's just an effort to comfort myself. It sounds just like excuses to my ear. In the end, what matters is the end result. So all my effort in preparing for maths went down the drain. And that, should be a lesson for me to learn how to really use my calculator.

How many times have I rolled in regret and screamed in frsutration for my inability to think on the spot, be it during exam or unpected questions? The things not done and the things said... My phone battery died on me today. Realised that I took the wrong charger out. And I forgot to log off from the computer after printing in the morning in my hurry today. Murphy's law eh?

Gotta persevere till the end. The way university cap are caculated really stress me out. Consistency eh? Something I'm really bad at. Argh, doesn't matter. I still have the 80% and my other modules to help me. At least it was an mcq.

*Groans inwardly when she thinks of tomorrow.* It's gonna be a long day... Still have much to revise. =(

Other than that, I'm a "guy" right? So I should be fine. heh... guys are supposed to be strong afterall. Supposed to be. That's just generalisation. We are humans afterall. Shall work towards my ideal person, Yin. Strong and charming. After a good sleep, I should be fine =) dakara oyasumi (and so, Good night!)

Double Post! Just went to the photo shop at loyang point to print some photos. I'm NEVER EVER going there to print my photos again. The guy "geh kiang" (try to be smart) and anyhow go and change the levels settings using photoshop. I'm sure those who uses photoshop knows that when you change the level settings too much, like increasing the brightness, the picture tends to become whitewash. My original picture was fine. and that guy had to anyhow edit it. >=( Got them to reprint the photos, but this time, the guy JUST HAD to edit the levels settings again. Turn them down 1 notch lower. Can't he just leave it as it is? I know that you are proud of your "skills" but you don't have to demostrate it you know? I like my photos the way they are. Grr...

On a happier note, I got over my emo-ness after practicing doing some stuff and really enjoying it. =) Shall listen to 98.7fm. Hahax... I'm sure that everything will work out fine tomorrow. At most each of us pay more lohs... Can't be helped. =D

I guess, in the end, it's the way that we look at things and react to them that matters. Although I kept telling myself that initially, I just can't bring myself to look at it positively. But I can now. =D

Oh man, I'm feeling really bad right now after I realised that the I kind of "self invite" myself to rachel's house due to some miscomunications there, which was why I was initially shocked that she agreed to lend her house to my og to play. Thanks Rachel! Feeling really pai sei now... Wiith people last minute still undecided on whether or not they want to go, things are really not going as planned. Now I understand the feelings of organiser. Hah! Perhaps I should have listened to Jansen's advice of NOT planning the BBQ afterall, especially during the mid term break. And my mum has to constantly remind me how to conduct myself as a girl and such....

Hope that the turnout tomorrow is great...

Yes! It's finally last week of school term before mid-term break starts. I'm still running on the treadmill trying to catch up with my school work again. Just because I screwed up my sleeping time on sunday, I've been feeling real sleepy again. Just need 1 day to catch up on my sleep. My sleep debt never seems to end.

There are 2 labs this week, Programming Sit in lab today and physics lab on friday. I just screwed up my sit in lab for programming again. Gahh... I shouldn't have been so stubborn and should have focused more on th 4% ex 2 instead. After discussing with Andrew and Zhi Wei, I know what's wrong. Seriously, I should have done my algorithm/psuedo code before starting on coding. For ex1, it would be so much easier if I had used count++ . Less confusion too. Nevermind, I learnt my lesson and what to look out for. I must not start coding just because others have started and should instead planned out the algorithm properly.

Sigh... I wish I had the brains like Andrew. If I had the brains like him, I could sleep more. The past 2 programming sit in proves that my solving problems skills are not there yet. Logic and common sense doesn't seem to sit with me when I do the EG1108(Electrical Engineering) tutorial. At such a rate, if my fundamentals in EG1108 are so lousy, I wonder how I will be able to get my honours and start my business in the future?

I'm extremely grateful to Andrew for helping me, and guiding me through my questions. =) Same goes for Jansen too. \(^o^)/ Hahax, they are both so patient with me. I feel soooo lucky that they are living in the East and it will be more convienient for me to ask them out to group study with me =p Seriously a group study and not a tution thing for me kayy... If both of them are not here, you will see me go insane with my hairs being pulled out when I tackle questions. Hahax.

I prefer and feel more comfortable asking questions when I understand at the end of being taught and not getting both myself and the person teaching frustrated. Frustrated that I can't get the question. Lolx..

Anyways, a little updates on my accomodation. I've rejected the offer to Prince George Park for 3 reasons. My mum doesn't want me to move in during the 7th month and I think I should respect her wishes. Even though it's only a supersition, it's better to be on the safe side right? Hahax. Another reason is that I could actually shorten my 4 days work week to 3 days work week, but I'm going because of the friends in my tutorial class + the tutor. =D I won't say that he's very good, but, at least he put in some effort =D And since my timetable for this semester is so short, I might as well try for next semester one. And, the 3rd reason is that my parents are not comfortable with me staying in the hostel/residence. Knowing how lazy I am =p, I would rather starve and not go out to eat for dinner. Hahax. So I guess residence is a no no, until next year.

Until next year, no "room" warming then. =p

~Just wanna rest from the never ending work.

Omg Omg! I got a place at Prince George Park Residence in NUS. Today was a whirlwind of events. Having a 2 hour free time in between lesson, I went to the Student Service Centre with the intent to at least put my name on the waiting list, or so I thought. Unexpectedly, I got the offer of residence today and I have to check in by tomorrow!


I wonder if it's a type B or C. After all that weighing of pros and cons, I've decided on getting a type B(with basin in the room) or a type C(just the bed and the table) to a type A one. Sure, a type A is bigger, with more perks like aircon and a bathroom in your room! But, it cost double the amount and staying in such a place makes me feel really guilty since I'm not the one paying for the rent and utility bills.

It's like having my own "house"/ room and imagine the increased freedom I have. Of course, this comes with increased responsibilty like washing my own clothes, ironing and cleaning my rooms. But nevermind this for now. I've already sent out "room warming" invitations to all my friends. Hahax. Super excited! All the HTHT at night and the new friends I will make.

This means that my timetable will be more packed now but it will seem more like a university now. My life has become mundane, a rountine where I wake up, go to school for lessons, study and then go home. With this residence vacancy, I'm more determined to be more active to keep my place in the residence. Hahax. Let's see how many excos position I can get and CCA points I earn. Muhahax...

My mum doesn't want me to move in during the 7th month though. Hopefully I can delay my check in by a week and this means $70/$80 less to pay for! Cool! Not that I'm supersitious, but I have already planned my term break out(having driving lessons twice that week) and it's not inclusive of staying in PGP. Hopefully I can work something out. Man.. so troublesome. But it should be worth the trouble.

Andrew got for me X mini Speakers, 2nd generation for me at the recent IT fair. The sound quality is damn good. Worth the price for $46. Hahax. Yayness.. \(^o^)/ Gosh, I also finally changed my laptop os to windows 7. So much faster. =) Unfortunately my speakers are not working. Guess I will have to bring an external speakers to pgp so that I can chat using skype =D Let's see... Now what's left is to repair my hardrive and reformat it again... or at least back up the data. Oh yes, not forgetting my computer. to reformat it and install all the programs again.

On another note, it seems that I can't get a place for the bbq. Oh man. I hope that we will still be able to do a make shift bbq. Otherwise, we have no choice but to cancel it off =(

Till further updates~ Ja ne... Gonna take a panadol to cure my headache. Seems that my headache is really bad today. =(

Yay! I finally installed Windows 7. It's so much faster than vista. Spent hours re-installing drivers and programs. Hahax. Lots of drivers' program can't work though, like bluetooth and the omni pass (for fingerprint verification). AND I can't print using my printer because the software can't work on the Windows 7 operating system. But, it's worth it man. So much faster. Being the impatient person I am, I prefer windows 7. Hahax, now I will just have to wait for the updates. =)

Gahh, didn't do anything today =x and there's driving tomorrow. Yawn~ I better start doing work soon... Or it will be a mad race through the weekdays again. sigh...

And some PHD comics I wanted to share. =p
taken fromhttp://www.phdcomics.com/comics.php



Hope you enjoyed it =D

I didn't want to organise the bbq initially since I wasn't confident that I would turn up for the bbq and that I thought that alot of people won't go during the mid term break. It was also partially because it was troublesome and I was too lazy to organise. In the end, I decided to give it a try. Shall reveal the reason I changed my mind at a later date =p


I'm so surprised at the turnout. Looks like a lot of peeps in my ogl are rather enthusiastic about the outing. The volunteers to help out are not bad too =D Even our Mia Ogl offered to be a loan shark and I persuaded him to get the drinks. Hehe... Thanks OGL, I shall not suan you about being MIA so often. Hahax. Thanks to the rest for the offer too. I'm just gonna be the overall In charge. I'm gonna leave it to you guys. =)

I hope that by then I would have caught up with my work le. I think I will try to go for the Biz Club outing for Asher's birthday if I manage to chiong finish my work. Lots to do. =x Pai Sei Asher if I can't make it for your birthday.

Hahax. I'm gonna take lots of photo and do an entry about them in a few entries, when I have time.

I think I'm falling sick. Getting a headache and feeling cold even though the temperature should have been just nice. Been sleeping late too often and not get any productive work done. Either that or my fats went on a holiday (as usual) when I need them. Hahax.

But I don't want to fall sick. Yuck! It will make me happy last time but... now, I'll lag behind even more. =( I better sleep early today...

Gosh, everything is so fast paced. In 2 more weeks, it will be mid terms. Though it will just be mcq, there are lots of steps behind one question. So working will be necessary too. Argh.. I'm still not there yet. I feel so dead. Anyways, I planned on publishing a post on Engin O week and the Engin bash, but I guess that will have to wait.

Just attended a talk by this multi-millionair who bankrupted at the age of 18 through the buying and selling of futures. His talk today was not bad, but I think it was going a bit too fast. I still don't understand how the futures short and long selling works. Rushing for time to cramp everything/ give an overview within 2 hours is not a very good idea. After his talk today, I felt like trading on the market itself (I think the use of sound effects is quite good, who knows, it may just turn out to be a scam). It's so tempting, the amount of money you could rake in by just simply doing day trading on the futures market, but the amount of money you could lose is so scary. Too scary. Leveraging on the bank is a definite no no, but... there's always the second thought. I really wanted to go to his talk in the mid-term break initially, but unfortunately, my mid terms is a more immediate concern to me right now.I don't think I'm willing to commit 2 whole days out of the mid term break for the talk. and it costs $350 too.

Reached home at around 12am today after the talk. Looks like it's late nights for me again tonight. Hopefully, I can keep my eyes open because it's like closing now. My sleep debt is piling up, rapidly.. Need 1 day to clear the sleep debt. Argh, what a waste of time. Must go and learn from my "shi fu" on how to stay up and stay so alert too. Hahax...

And, I'm gonna change my windows Vista to Windows 7, coz Windows Vista is so darn slow. Got to wait till tomorrow to get the disc from Tay to download...Till next time~

Btw, the pictures of engin bash and Engin o week are on facebook. They were obviously not uploaded by me. Hahax. I was too lazy to upload it =p. (I can see Jansen's graph made to plot my laziness already.Hahax)

I guess I have been busy with catching up with tutorials, which explains the long MIA mode. Hahax, don't know who reads here so TAG and I will write more often. =D Mid terms are coming up!!! This means that I have to up my pace of studying and learning. I'm so lagging behind. Who said university life is slack? I think it doesn't apply to engin here. It's like studying for A levels 4 months before and learning 5 modules in 4 months at the same time. Basically,no life mugging here.

But... like Zhi Wei's nick mentioned, "There's no shortcuts to any place worth going.", which is so true.

Just had my programming lab on wednesday. I think everyone managed to compile it but most Singaporeans can't get it to work properly. =( Realised my mistake now. And programming was supposed to be my better subject. Looks like all my standard is not there yet for all subjects. Judging by the bell curve, our grades would be affected. Nevermind! There are still other labs to do. Jia you Geraldine!

Got myself a 4 study week by skipping Friday's lecture and attending the monday one instead. The lecturer changed. I think Gem would be more understandable to me now. =)

On a happier note, one piece is out! And next up is Engin Bash this sat! =D
