Sometimes I wish I studied during the semester. so then i don't have to stress about cramming the whole course during swat vac and the exam period. got 2 more assignments to finish off. get those done, then i shall start studying for my exams...
Sometimes I wish my folks were rich. So then I don't have to work. So then I have more time to do some other stuff...
Sometimes I wish I was more organized, pro-active, and managed my time better...
I did wish for a new desk chair. And I got it. It's one of those high back panel ones. Its not leather. Just your normal office chair with arm rests. but its comfortable. its not completely new. it was off ebay. 25 bucks. I can actually lie on my chair now and watch tvb w/o damaging my neck. what an awesome chair. its worth it!

Exams!
Arh, exams are coming up! And I'm not ready. Crap!
Also. Got one of my assignments back. Was only worth 5%. got 17/20. My grades seems to be slipping down. First i got 15/15, then 18/20... and now 17/20. What's nxt? 15/20? I hate assignments where they don't tell you the amount of marks for a particular question. And they give more marks for 1 stupid question than a hard one. Like it doesn't balance out. A hard question was worth like only 5 marks out of 20. And the tutor said there was only 1 person who got it right entirly (me)... but i did have a little help with some research on the internet ^^. But there were x3 easy questions for the 1st qustion, and they were worth 3 marks each. I was so careless, and got one of them wrong. Damn it! I'm so stupid!! I would of been the only one of a class of 80 to get 100% on that assignment. But oh well, it was only worth 5% and you can't have everything. And I did kinda cheat. But it would gave me a sense of accomplisment (of some sort).
What else has been happening? Nothing much. A friend gave me an umbrella randomly. She see me sometimes bring a huge umbrella, and sees me not bringing a umbrella when it drizzles cos i said it was too much trouble. So during the break, she flew to Shanghai to go to the Shanghai Expo, and when she came back she gave me an umbrella. Like the small ones. ^^
I think there's not much else to talk about. Been doing to usual, uni, work, sleep, tvb (new series nxt week ^^)... and what am I going to do in summer? Who knows. Let's wait and see... or should I say let's get these exams over and done with first before thinking about freedom for 3 months.
Toodles.

I better post before August is up!
HAHA. I'm trying to make an effort to post at least once a month. Seeing its nearly September, and I haven't posted in August, I thought I'll do a quick blog post now! Or else it will be like my last blog... on MSNspace! i.e. posted regularly, and then slowly... slowly stopped posting. I want to keep this blog kind of consistent and in existance! Oh look that, did that just rhymed?
Life has been ordinary. Uni, work, church... Nothing much is going on. But I am trying to make an effort to go to church nowadays. Just trying to go everyweek. I knew before I was super slack with going to church. Like, I only went on the days I played piano. But for the past month or so, I've been going whenever I could. Not whenever I feel like it. Even though I feel super tired from a 9 hr shift at work, I'd make an effort to go. Unless I am ill or I have a massive assignment due the nxt day. So thats the story with church so far.
Work... one of the guys I usually work with, went on annual leave. The guy usually does the front bunk work. He comes in at 5am, puts the ice on the bunks and then puts the veges that will go well on the ice. Now he's on annual leave, I have to do it. But luckily I don't have to come in at 5am. I just come in at my usual time around 6am. But I must admit, working at Coles is pretty physically demanding. In some sense, I wished I had another job. But realistically, I'll never find such a job which is so close to home, where I can walk to work, save time on public transport, and can go home for lunch! (and get paid reasonably wel). But I wish I could work somewhere when I just sit there all day and use my brain or not having to move around like a mad chook trying to get things done! I've been trying to see what kind of jobs I can get with my degree. Even though I don't "officially" finish my planned course until 2012, I want to see what I can do in the future. Because I don't want to be suck at Coles for the rest of my life. For a number of reasons really. I want to earn more money, I want something that is not physically demanding, and I want to do something that actually relates to my course and shit I've been studying for the past so-many years you know? But the industry is so narrow. And you need to be good at speaking with clients. And obviously, I'm not the "good-at-speaking-kind-of-a-guy" type! So I dunno whats there. But I'll trust in God that He'll provide me with something (hopefully)
Uni... sigh! end of week 5 already believe it or not! And it seems Ive havent learnt much. I'm doing all maths this semester to complete my major and finish my bachelor degree on time... (after changing from one major to the nxt so many times =.=) Luckily, my degree is so flexible so I could do that! But I wish I could have done a double degree, i.e. com/sci! or even just stuck to something. Not changing my mind all the time. It frustrates me! But oh well, should be graduating by the end of this year (if I don't fail any subjects). Actually, speaking of failing, I'm quite worried for some of my subjects. i.e. Complex Analysis. Its really complicated and complex. LOL. And the lecturer doesn't help. I should be really helping myself by looking up the material in other textbooks or even ask the lecturer for help. And what I do... I procrastinate and watch TVB. I only got 70% for my first assignment. and thats really crap!! :( Cos for maths subject assignemnts, you would want to try to get 100% on the assignments because the exam is worth 80% of the subject. So you need some cushion from the assignment marks so won't get stressed out when exams come about. Discrete Maths. Its interesting. I wouldn't mind learning it, but I'd hate to get assessed on it. We learn heaps of stuff. i.e. counting. Statistics is such a horrible subject. I spent hours doing this assignment last night. Trying to get it done. 13 questions for just a 5% assignment. It's really not worth the time and effort! And each of the question is not easy as well! It totally stressed me out. Decision Making is probably my favourite subject. It probably has the worst lecturer, (same lecturer as graph theory) but the computationally wise of the subject is exceptionally easy! But some concepts are hard to get your mind around it. But I do find it really cool! Got 1st assignment back. Was really easy! easy 5% achieved.
okay, thats enough of blogging. May see you next month hopefully!

bak to uni!
oh oh oh! bak to uni today!! Can't believe a month of holidays just flew past just like that!! Im not happy!
So what has happened over the past month? first week, I literally did nuthing. I had to recharge my (body) batteries because I was literally dead after my exams. They were just too painful. What I actually did was just slept in, lay in bed, watched tvb, kdrama, and did some deep cleaning of my bathroom and vacumming the house.
then i was luckily enuff to work full time at work for the nxt two weeks. On a positive note, it meant I have more moneys now, and I can happily spend it all. On a sad note, its actually not that much (after tax), I comprised my holidays to work and I didn't have time to clean my room...
then for the 4th week, I started uni a week earlier than everyone else. Well, most anyway. I did a tasting 'wine' course. It was quite fun. I did it with a mate. And I made a couple of friends while I was there. Which was nice... but it was so draining. On two of the days of the week, we started at 8:30am and we didn't finish until 7:30pm. But if the lecturer didnt re-schedule the breaks, we would of finished 9:30pm instead!! *shocks* Having said that, I had to leave the house at 7am and I didn't get home until 9pm ish... I shall talk more about wine soonish! But I feel I have accomplished something i really wanted ever since. So I can tick one of the boxes of my life's goals :)
Oh. I got my results for my subjects. They were okay... Prob one of the more consistant semesters I had. Barely passed one of the subjects though. But having said that, I didn't really study it, nor really paid attention in the lectures, nor been to tutes, or did any of the problem sheets. LOL! But I was kinda expecting 60+ and not as low as 53!! And with the other subjects, I was expecting close to 90, but not low H1s. But a H1 is a H1 i guess... Can't complain!! :)
Oh, and one more thing. Why does embarrassing things always happened to me on the 1st day of uni!? 1st semester with the lift incident. Now this semester, the road+tram incident. I shall NOT elaborate. 'cos its too embarrassing!!!
toodles.

its over!
yup. exams are indeed over! Dunno if I passed all of them, but we shall find out in 2 weeks time. At the moment, I don't give a shit about my results. Well, actually I do hope 2 of the subjects that I put time and effort into, will actually give me good results. and the last two... i dunno. A pass??? pls?
Anyway, how will I spend my holidays? who knows! Work possibly? Go out? Watch TVB? Though my holidays are cut short to 3 weeks cos I have to go and do a short course on 'wine' :) I'm going to learn about how to drink wine, their differences, where they are from ect ect. So that should be quite interesting.
For now, I'm just going to bum around home, clean and relax! I'm downloading a drama. "I'm Sorry, I Love You." A Korean drama which my friend told me to watch a while back ago. Of lately, for some reason, I'm getting into the whole 'korean' side of things. I enjoy listening to k-pop! It was k-pop which got my through the examination period. It sounds so catchy (even though I do not understand a word they sing... but sometimes they have english words here and there)...
Anyway, toodles! I'm going to do some houeswork!
