Yay!

September 28, 2010

My results came out earlier but I only got around to posting them today.

CMSK: B+, DBSY: A, SWEN: A, DSAG: A, OOAD: B+, CSAD: A, Intro to Jap: A;

Grade Point Average: 3.88 (Woah!)

But my cGPA is 3.51, which is rather sad, but there’s no helping it.

So my first reaction when I saw my GPA for solely this sem (which obviously is the 3.88 hanging out above) I went yay! To be honest, I really didn’t think I was going to get this high (in my opinion, for the geniuses out there) but really, I was expecting a ‘Z’ for my DSAG, guess I’m just not cut out for a ‘Z’. More importantly, I can say I’m back on track after going through some downs with my progress last year (which was sluggish, mind you).

However, all I can say is that I am not thoroughly satisfied with my result, but, it has somewhat lifted my mood and made this long break a much more enjoyable one for me.

In any case, on to some other stuffs. I have… ORDERED Gakky’s NEW ALBUM !!! It’s called ‘Niji’ which loosely translates to ‘Rainbow’. It’s taking too long though for the shipment to arrive -_- all because I picked the free standard shipping method which takes up to a whooping 14 days(maximum ofc :D).  Can’t wait to put my hands on it ><. For those who don’t know her, head over to gakky.org (a fansite) and also go to listen to some of her songs (through channels that both you and I know, *wink*).

So just before I decided to post, I was reading up on Hitler at Wiki. I was shocked at the length of the damn article. I was mainly attracted to the Holocaust but ended up reading the whole of his profile anyway and then decided that I wanted to know more about this guy. Then after reading it, I was like ‘What an abominable but brilliant man.’ Abominable because of the holocaust but brilliant because of his ability to achieve what he wanted. But the way he died was definitely not befitting of him: Suicide, that’s cowardly. Even then, I don’t know what kind of a death would have fit him.

Enough of hitler, I’m going back to play my little fighting game (GE obviously). FYI, I’m level 89 now, 11 levels away to veteran-dom!

What are you into right now?

September 22, 2010

Ok before I get into the actual blogging I would like to break down all thats happen after the exams.

  1. I am having my holidays now, YEAH!
  2. I went back to play Granado Espada (GE).
  3. I am waiting for my exam results (and I’m pretty confident that they will be good, stay tuned for my bragging).

So these are what I have spent the time after exams on. Well, you can’t say they are constructive activities, you might even say they are detrimential AND I know that too. So I’ve prepared somethings that I will do or at least try to do during the holidays. If I had to rank what I need to do by importance, I think they would go like that:

  1. Working out.
  2. Make sure I get into the japanese advanced course offered.
  3. Finding a job.
  4. Getting myself high level characters in GE.

But you know… thats by importance. The actual thing that is going on right now is actually in the order of 4,2,3,1. But anyway enough about that I want to know: “What are you into right now?”

For me, I’ve thought that since its the holiday I should take a break so I’ve increased my doses of DotA and even took up a new MMORPG but I don’t seem to be as absorbed in them as ever. So I looked for an secondary entertainment, jDrama! I’m a big fan of Erika Toda so I took up some dramas that I havent watched her in, so we end up with Code Blue and there’s even a second season! In the end I became a fan of another female cast in the show -_-.

And it is Gakky! (Aragaki Yui) Kinda liked her acting, so I searched for more and I have just finished Papa to Musume No Nanokakan, which literally translates into Father and Daughter’s Seven Days. It’s a great drama and I hope all of you would should go and watch it.

Now I’m at a loss of what drama to watch. In any case, the next one should also have Gakky in it :D. I’m even listening to her songs now as I’m writing, ahhh… what a beautiful voice. Make sure you check her out!

It’s 5am in the morning, wtf. I’m going to go read some programming articles now, will be back to post my exam results. To be honest even I don’t know if I can really brag about them. But since the exams are already done, I can only believe in myself that I will get good grades.

Here’s a nice phrase for you guys to dwell upon and also if you are into anything, comment below.

“Believing in one’s self and giving up, it’s the same thing.” – Quoted from FKMT’s Akagi.

Finally, I’m approaching the second last week before the exams! Had my jap skit today and it was AWESOME. All of us in my team forgot our lines some point in time but I think we should be able to pull through somehow for an A. Besides that, probably going to get a late for my DBSY assignment, I swear to god I’m never going to team with those people again -_-.

In any case, LIAR GAME is coming down to Singapore soon! It was supposed to come out 29th but w/e, it’s been pushed to 12 August. The wait almost seems worth it when the thing you wait for fufils, seems the same for most things huh. Finally getting back into a little bit of DotA after being invited to play for a team. Can’t seem to sync well with the team, will just work on it to become better.

Heaps of work.

July 16, 2010

Bahhhhhhhh. Had a really really bad 2 weeks(this week and the week before) with the cramped up schedule. This week was a little better though, more room to breathe. Having DSAG lab test and jap language test tomorrow, can’t be bothered to study for it. Realised that all this can be explained for when I recall back in APEL class where Mr Pua flashed the workload chart and it was pretty steep for semester 2. Well, nothing can help now ‘cept for going full speed. Teamwork are starting to get tough too, don’t know if I will get through this semester unscathed. That’s for school.

Well besides school there’s nothing much to say. The biggest reason for my hiatus is probably only school. I don’t play much DotA nowadays either. Just even one round is a luxury. It’s all been well though, taking some breaks in between to play Ninja Warz. Uber fun game, watching the ninja rolling all about the place with white smoke is epic ‘LOL’, gets kinda boring after awhile, so you press the ‘skip’ button.

Kinda getting more nervous for tomorrow’s test. Should I study? Should I not study? Nah, catching more sleep is more important that stupid revisions 😀. Going to go sleep now.

Watched a few replays throughout the day, with every replay I could actually feel the fun in ganking and I probably questioned myself why I stopped playing it. Well, I guess it was about time I went back to play DotA and aim for higher heights. My first aim would be to aim for TP’s dota compy again, if there’s any. Well I would need members first and this year’s pretty hectic, having a holiday pop out in your schedule is pretty much… relieving. Remember to thank the indians who brought you this very special day.

Ok right, enough about DotA, more about school now. School’s been pretty hectic, messing up here and there every once in a while with the projects. There’s even crossroads laid out infront of us EIT or EBI. There’s no need to ask me which I will choose, it’s definitely EIT. I feel really thankful towards Vesak day though, it gave me an extra day to mug. Haven’t come up with a solid plan to mug for the next 2 days, but yeah I will figure one out later.

In some other things about my life, I had a change of phones after losing mine. Normally my reaction would have been one of despair and stuffs. Surprisingly, my reaction was one of “I lost my phone. Yeah, think I dropped it outside or something.” Probably couldn’t feel any more worse that day. Even I go through bad times, you know.

Well since I don’t blog as much anymore I’m gonna do a lil shoutout to my BFFs, my mini little group of cab-home friends (Jie Eng, Zach and SzeSze aka BIMBO) and of course, my project teammates (Oliven, Tong, Glenn). Please please please, study for your term tests and please please please continue to be by my side even if we do have some conflicts. Off to talk to the BFFs now, since I mugged and watched DotA replay the whole day.

layers of… fever.

May 11, 2010

Had a pretty bad time last weekend, was coughing really bad and running a 38.6 degrees fever. Managed to turn up for school though after popping a few Panadol the night before. Always try Panadol if you are having a fever, it works wonder within hours.

Then on Monday before going back to school, the fever came back. Not too serious though that’s why I was able to turn up for school. OOAD lab session sucked though. That Christopher totally flipped the whole lesson into a life lecture thing. And damn Paul for not teaching us what the minus sign represents. Rest of the monday was pretty mundane, except for the fever subsiding again at night which made me a little happy.

However, I was down with fever again today. I think the problem is that I’m still eatting fried food. Ate Fish&Chips both today and yesterday. Not that it really matters if the severity of the fever is at this level. Anyway, this week is pretty relaxing considering that the only deliverable is the SWEN presentation on thursday and since I’ve finished up my part there’s nothing to worry about.

Well on a side note, the translator for Kaiji is back so that means I’m back to editting. Hope to rush the chapters out quickly so we can release earlier.

Before I knew it, it’s the start of a new month already. School hasn’t been coming too well and work is already piling up. Second week of school was a little more tough compared to week one. Stuffs like CMSK and CSAD are rapidly putting pressure with their early deadlines. Well, not like complaining would do any help so I’ve decided that I will do it all up later.

Besides school I have also taken up editting duties with Zawanons recently. And we are scanlating Kaiji! Do come over to read our releases, Kaiji is uber epic in every gamble. Download ’em at: http://www.mediafire.com/zawanons

Another thing is I’ve decided that I want to move my blog over to wordpress. It looks like something really nice, although I have a bad experience with it in the past. I’m going to tread into WordPress’s territory later tonight. For now cya.

School’s starting tomorrow at 11. I’ve totally forgotten about blogging for the chalet. I’m not going to blog about it anyway, getting really lazy with it because the chalet was boring now that I look at it. So no chalet. But I do need to type about something…

Ok I got it. So I was browsing through school emails and I read one which was a welcome back letter. It’s really nice that they have once again reminded us of Daniel’s illness and the key thing here is that 3 new students will be joining us. Please be girls, please be girls… No like seriously, I’m not a pervert or anything but my class is swarmed with guys. Well that’s all for school.

Probably share with you guys another thing about myself. Nice aren’t I? 😀 I’m so into Kara now! Not really Kara but more of GOO HARA ~. Watched her first on IY (Invincible Youth). Found her really attractive haaaa~. Most importantly she is so funny and random. She always trips over at the most random of times. Then there’s this impressive side about her is that she dances so well. Watched the Lupin MV and really liked how she did the ‘running dance’ and the swinging of her hair when they stacked their hands together.

Ok I’m going to dig into my breakfast now. BYE.

OK EVERYONE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I have officially bought in the i7! Okay so I said I was going to blog on Sunday, but I was too tired and feeling too emo-ish to post so I dragged. Same thing for Monday because I had nothing to do but I guess there’s some interesting things I can say about Monday.

Okay, so I went for dinner at McDonald’s. Nothing special really, which is why I shall complain about the crappy amount of food they serve for a $6.50 McNugget meal. Okay so there was around 6 nuggets in it and I had the spicyomgwtfbbq fries. Didn’t upsize anything, maybe the fries because I was freaking pissed from eating that damn packet of fries w/ seasoning. Still, 6 nuggets wasn’t enough to fill my small little stomach, I’m small ’cause im short. Makes sense yea?

Well went to Watson’s next to buy some new toothpaste and Listerine. On my way out saw the dermatologist sitting by the exit. Well I saw my face (which is full of pimples) so I asked what’s the best way to have it removed. Guess what, I got a lashing from gd ol’ gramps. Old woman told me hair was leaving my face without any place to breath and prolonged hours by the computer was putting me at risk of more pimples. Well nothing better than hearing it from the doctor itself. “So what can I do to rectify this?” I asked. “Buy this product, its our best seller.” the doctor replied. So I just bought it. I’m too trusting, why did I get influenced to buy a $39.20 product -_-.

That’s all that happened for Monday anyway.

On to today. Okay not exactly today considering its 12.43pm, so yesterday. Went to Sim Lim Square to buy new motherboard, processor and ram and graphic card. Costed $1576. You didn’t see wrong, neither did I typed wrong, 1.6k, it costed 1.6k. Well was really happy and all since I got new parts so I went home got them fixed up. Thing is, setting up was really a chore. Can’t be bothered to blog about it all but I got 2 cuts on my fingers and I sweated like a pig. That’s just how hard it can be if you are not used to setting up computers. And I call myself an IT student, that’s plain lame.

School released results today, got 3.31 GPA. It dropped so much damn you #$%^&*. Was a little relieved though since it didn’t drop below 3, in fact, I thought I would have done worse. It was later during the day when I thought more and more about it did I feel that I could have done better and increased my GPA but I didn’t.

Couldn’t do anything about the results though but since I knew about them, I was naturally less tense and more happy throughout the day. Didn’t WoW at all today since I woke up to a panicked awakening by Seng Hong, in any case, I feel more relieved now and I feel I will be having a BETTER holiday.

Well here’s the schedule for tomorrow since I won’t be blogging till Sunday:

  • Waking up at 7.
  • Washing up, picking out clothes.
  • Leave home at 8.
  • Arrive at Pasir Ris Interchange by 9.
  • Get breakfast and start work.

Goodnight and I hope I will do better next semester.
