New Semester

So far the new semester still okay. Monday is okay, Tuesday module is very tough as in last year 29% of the students get D and below and only 3 students get A for that module in the poly history so far and it involves mathematics which I hate most. So I hope I dun fail that module. Like the Thursday lesson most so far for now at least because only got 9 people in the whole class list. That means that we can go home faster as the most is only 2 teams presenting =). Friday still okay bah but still dun really like it. Good thing about Friday is many friends are in that class.

Final Year Project 1 Over

Finally it is over. It is really an experience. Lots of things happened. Felt a great sense of achievement and also sadness which I prefer to not say. Count yourself lucky to be spared. Other teams may not be so nice. You know who you are. Hope you learn something from it too and change for the better in your future projects.

Presentation wise, I am quite disappointed because I did not present well. Kind of like feel very nervous and end up my presentation very cock up, say very little and not sure what I am saying too. The evaluators talk very soft, cannot really hear their questions too. Still as long as we can get a pass grade, I am more than happy.

A lesson learnt. Will remember it well.

Difficult Decisions

Our first final year project is coming to an end. Final year project 2 selection started and dateline is 28 of July. Not sure which project to choose and also to still be in same team anot. 1 of my team mates just called on asking should disband anot. Need to make decision by tomorrow. A very difficult decision. On this site it is very hard to post my more true thoughts although I do have a private one to myself. Maybe I should start a new one with WordPress that allows password protected individual post. Ha ha

Project Evaluators Known

Today, our supervisor told us who our evaluators are. Feel quite nervous. Hopefully it turns out well. :)

Lame Pianist in School

Today after school went to the library with some friends to do some stuff. Everything is okay until some student come and plays the piano. He doesn’t seem good with the piano but its okay given that nobody is good at anything but as long as he is willing to learn we should encourage it. We guess he probably comes to practice and improve his piano skills with the piano at the library. But it soon becomes obvious that he isn’t even trying to learn how to play the piano at all. Keep playing louder & louder random notes for like at least 1 hour non-stop. It is clear that his aim is to irritate people instead. It is worse when we are like doing our work next to him. We feel like moving away but we also lazy to move away. So we tolerate like shit and he seem happy.

Why do such people exist? Torture people must also torture for so long.

A Special Day

A special day… July 11. A day that I dislike. Met our supervisor today. It is still okay. We talked about some project stuffs on the reports, on testing and so on. This semester and project is coming to an end soon. Lots of thoughts in my mind which I rather keep to myself for now.

I’m Still Procrastinating!

The school project is due within less than 1 month but I am still procrastinating! Often I try to tell myself to work on it but whenever I try to I just feel my head hurts and feel a lot of stress and end up play game for for a long time instead until next day early morning. So progress very slow. I try to kick it but still cannot argh! On days when I finally managed to concentrate I feel tired also. Sigh.

Must really buck up or I will really fail.

Professional Profiling Proposal Accepted

Finally accepted. But not sure how to start it. After project then think about how to do it bah.

Gorillas in School

The school lesson on Friday which is yesterday is pretty unique because a game is included in the lesson. It’s basically a remake of a classic game known as Gorillas. It is a very long time since I last play this game. So it is very fun. I spend most of the day lesson with the classmates playing the game instead of doing the day problem ha ha. Anyway the remake that we played is called Gorilla 2: The Return. I still prefer the original that I played years ago but this is fun too. Here a screen shot of the remake we played. Really bring back lots of memories.

Back from Camp!

Just lost my wallet in school today. Sian my $s, cards and everything. Y I always so dumb and forgetful!!!

Anyway the camp is over so I shall post something about it. For those curious, it’s just a camp lar. Activities wise the camp is quite boring honestly due to the tight schedule which led to lack of sleep and also got many talks and very little play games session lar. But it is not totally bad because you get to interact with many people from many different schools and a chance to find some long lost friends.

Quite unlucky didn’t manage to find any long lost friends (Which is 1 of my 2 main motives for even joining this in the first place, the other is to skip 1 week school and regain my energy but too bad the camp is not relaxing). As usual I’m back to my usual anti-social quiet self. I dun noe how my camp mates view me but they are a good bunch of people overall. I guess I just dun noe how to communicate well haha but nvm.

I am not sure if I should post about my experiences in the camp here, Maybe I will. By editing this post in a future date. Nobody is interested so I can take my time :).

Little Mischief

I am going to a camp soon. They give us the consent form where you will have to give your parents to sign so that if anything bad happen to you, they will not be held responsible. Our teacher sends us the form in soft copy. I am quite bored that day so I edited some parts of it like for example: “The school shall not be responsible…” to “The school shall be responsible…” for fun and print it and ask my parents sign. Then I go school just hand it up and they just accept it.

Oh well, people don’t check such things. I hope none of the teachers see this. I’m just doing it out of sheer boredom and fun. I dislike camps because I am always very stupid in it and I rarely ever go to camps too. But what worst is my very poor eyesight. I did not wear spec since primary 5 until now (lazy to get one) and I play game a lot ah so you can guess my degrees how much. Probably can only see the exam paper infront of me. Hopefully the camp will not be so horrible.

Argh

Aiya. Today test I forgot to do 1 lots of marks question. Sure fail liao. My grades this semester have been very bad due to several reasons best kept to myself. I hope it don’t end up failing. Pass can le.

My left eye very painful. Sick also but still must go school. Stupid school (I hope I don’t get into troubles with this) grrr, just because they want to cut down on the school’s big truancy problems, they decided to no longer even accept Medical Certificates! As long as you are absent from school, your subject grades will be penalised no matter what reasons you had. Most stupid new school rule ever since last year. There are always better ways to do things. The one who proposed this new rule got to get his/her head checked. I know people will say that rule is introduced long ago since last year but I still can’t stand it.

Sick

Sick with fever, flu & cough. Not going to school tomorrow too. What a bad start after the 1st week. I guess it’s fate that I will do badly this semester. Okay lor, so be it. Give up already. :]

Sad Start

School starts again & I think I’m quite unlucky. Here an overview of the 1st week:

1. Very nice, same class with many ex classmates on day 1 & presented well too.
2. Didn’t install the files required for the day 2 problem because I thought of formatting my notebook. That led to me being quite clueless for the whole day. Since I didn’t work on the problem, I decide to put some extra work in preparing the presentation slides instead but I can’t complete it since my team didn’t finish the problem in time. Finally, submitted RJ through LEO but RJ is not saved despite the system telling me that it did.
3. Doing the compulsory self evaluation for day 3 at night keep giving me error. Also happened is something sad which I prefer not to say here.
   
4. After 2 days of severe downgrading = No morale for day 4.
   

There is 1 thing I’m sure me & many others do noticed is that it seems that almost everyone in year 3 is so sort of hyper active now. I also noticed a big sharp increase in knowledge of fellow students as compared to year 2 in the sense that almost everyone is kind of like a genius now somehow where they already knows the solutions to the lesson problem right after the first meeting. I think I’m gonna get lots of Cs this semester. I guess all these happened is due to the FYP and also due to the fact that year 3 is the time where students get to choose their specialised area of study. The area where they had the most interest in & also probably their strongest area or maybe it’s because of some other reasons.

For me & a few others that isn’t the case. I chose the wireless specialisation simply because I don’t know what specialisation suits me best. I just toss a dice & choose it as the dateline for choosing is running out. Wireless is no doubt my weakest area. I know totally nothing about it. I didn’t even own a mobile phone until the middle of last year (forced by my parents) & even then I switch it off almost all the time as I dislike mobile phones. I’m still wondering if I should have chosen what I feel as my best area instead.

Seeing that I’m now lacking so behind all my classmates. I know I’m dead for sure this semester. I can’t even remember what I learnt last time. Just hope I could scrape through this semester again.

Talked to Supervisor

Finally we met our supervisor for the project physically! He isn’t as bad as we first thought. We didn’t talk much in our first meeting except joking here & there & some other simple casual chat (like him showing us his son photo with him) because we are not sure about what to ask too. Pretty soon our meeting with him ended. It’s a nice experience but we must not joke around too much or we fail our project :(.

Format Attempt Failed

Today, I got no mood in school because I’m going to format my notebook as I plan to use another notebook from next week. So in class I’m more quiet than usual (I’m usually quiet in class) today somehow. I think this will continue.

After school, I go to the help desk & as I approach it. I somehow changed my mind. It’s kind of like don’t know how to say. I just suddenly realise I can’t bare to format the notebook. There are possibly lots of precious files that could be just gone even though I did do a very through backup. Plus by formatting I seem to be washing my notebook of it’s memory. It seem unethical.

In the end I didn’t format. Relieved or not? I don’t know.

Summary of What Happened Recently

Been busy & tired lately, here what happened in a summary. Sigh.

1. Still can’t sleep.
2. Went to several places to do some things that I’m still clueless about.
   
3. Project allocations are released but we still don’t get to meet our supervisor in person so far. Have to wait until after school start which is next week then can meet him.
   
4. Our project meetings so far only covered a little. 1 of the main problems we have is we doesn’t have someone with leadership quality to be honest, but I guess this would be fixed sooner or later with either 1 or 2 of my team mates volunteering to be one.
   
5. Supervisor strongly recommended us during an on-line chat to go learn a particular language that he claims to be more familiar with. Most likely we will do it since he will be the one marking our final product after all. I just hope it will not take too long to learn & we won’t fail our project due to that. Sigh.
   

No mood. Don’t want to type liao.

Hopeless Future

Die le ah, final year project allocation released. I dun noe can even pass a not sia lol. I tried but cannot recall any single thing that I used to know. My memory is getting worse & worse somehow. A state even worse than last sem.

Whatever, just see la. Maybe can pass also =).

Missing School Uniform Days?

Yesterday night, while asking somebody about the homework we are supposed to do in order to get the 1 activity point, we also happen to talk about missing the precious school uniform days.

Hmm, after the O’levels, many students choose their next path mainly with considerations like say – their future ambitions in mind. But how many students actually choose their next school base on 1 thing: the precious chance to wear a school uniform for possibly the last time for about 2–3 years? It’s something worth pondering about.

Yes, I do miss the school uniform days after entering a polytechnic & this remind me of a great song called 二十二岁的心情 by Singaporean singer Hong Shao Xuan (I hope I don’t get his name wrongly.) & it’s really a nice song since I mentioned it. I tried to find the disc that contain the song but couldn’t find it. A search on Google & YouTube returned either 0 results or complete irrelevant stuffs.

I finally managed to find the disc today! I’m going to listen to the song & type out the lyrics below since I can’t find the it on the web. I hope I don’t type the lyrics out wrongly :).

我又回到这熟悉的地方
走在我十五六岁走过的路上
忘不了大家一起走过的草场
手牵着手的那种天真模样

我又回到这熟悉的地方
用二十二岁的心情把过去想想
少年往事毕竟不能说忘就忘
还有什么比年轻更辉煌

校园的钟声叮当叮当的响
把我带回从前的挥霍无知的地方
校园的钟声叮当叮当的响
有很多年轻的笑声正在荡漾
他们天南地北无所不谈
不知道他们明天还记不记得对方

我又回到这熟悉的地方
多年的友谊都在记忆收藏
有空的时候我也会拿出来看看
想一想当年真挚真诚的伙伴

Next Semester Classroom List Released

A different classroom for me everyday. I feel like quitting school. Sigh.
