mid term break

mid term break is finally here, which means another hell for me. =(

now currently in sch trying to finish up CS2105 assignment. 5% and we have actually spend a total of 5 days(including today to do). *sad*
anyway, what is impt is we finish"ing" and after this assignment i learn to use jsp(which i nv knew previously, and actually had to learn everything from basic =D )
now only left with the last part and validation..

while waiting, daphne and i have actually complete the class diagram and sequence digram for submission 2. Since we have not learn state chart and design pattern, we think we can do it after the mid term tests.. just enough time.

from tml to next sunday will be a series of intensive study and project-doing.
which means is the whole of my study-break. haiz

then,

Week 7
MA1505 test
CS3234 test
CS2105 Assignment 1 submission

Week 9

Labrador Park Post

we 1st meet early in the morning @ harbour front coz no one seems to know where is AOL building except me.. meeting @ harbour front, there was the usual late thing and patrick and i waited while eating @ mac for shufen and kim yoong, who were slightly late, and daphne who was very late.., we told bus 97, and alighted in front of AOL building. while walking in, we realise it is a very nice environment to stay in (there are some HDB apartment around.

Then while walking in(and while in the park), i took some weird weird pictures around, this includes..

Labrador Park, Haunted Apartment, Liyan Bday Party

i want to blog abt all these, but then my photobucket gives me problem, refusing the let me enter, saying sth like the server is down etc etc so i kinda give up..

now extremely hungry waiting for help..
coz i am trying to reserve a seat, thus no breakfast was available to me.. LOL..
while i was typing, i see help walking over... so now i finally can go makan liao... or at least go buy sth to makan.. nevertheless, just update abit briefly abt my general life these few days..

friday: midnight movie : Haunted Apartment, nice~

Joke

The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:

Brain: I should be in charge because I run all body functions.

Blood: I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.

Stomach: I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.

Legs: I should be in charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.

Eyes: I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going.

Asshole: I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.

All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad.

To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.

Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief
Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly
Day 3 - Legs got cramps and became unstable
Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred
Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body
Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.

*MORAL OF THE STORY: NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW
IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE.*

Thanks for all the "virtual support"

Esp to da jie, er ge, zhenhao and liyan(non-virtual de)
=)

p.s.: liyan, thanks for the super-sticky-blue-color-post-it-notes =)

1st time it pays to "feedback"

the scope of assignment has finally reduced~~ after all the "feedbacks"
but it also mean we have to change some part of database =(
nevertheless, it is a happy ending

proceeding to week 6 is not a good thing.. need to jiayou~ =)

some general post

how can things go better? i really wonder...
anyway, i still yet to post up the part 5 of birthday party and the labrabor park thingy... sorry, time is precious and i am pretty tired.. the ability to type this post is already very amazing.. have to get back to my work after this post.. less than 4 hours of sleep everyday, how do i survive till end of the sem?

CS2105 Assignment 1

there is this post that i saw is pretty interesting and my clique pretty agree on in the forum..

***************************************************

Hi Sir,

May I know how come the ongoing assignment is only worth 5%, considering the workload, effort and timeline(a month). Even the "Deliverables" need some time as well.

- Getting the correct software and setting them up
- Web/UI design
- Setting up JDBC connection
- Understand Servlets and data processing between web forms, Servlets and database.
- Lines of codes and codes..
- Validation, addressing of bugs
- Deliverables!

I seriously can't see the above mentioned are being graded as a 5% assignment.

JSP is an unfamilar technology to most I believe (taking the need of a workshop into consideration). Hence, is it because since most of us are beginners, there will be lesser emphasis on the overall weightage for the assignments. What I mean is.. a complete application versus a partial application, is only a slight few percent difference? This is only my personal opinion though.

Possible to enlighten me?
Thank you very much!

(name removed to protect the sender)
******************************************************

Apart from agreeing with him, i think he forgot to mention that this 5% assignment also requires

Database design
Database Data
site map
h/w and s/w requirements
UML
flow diagram

and there was suppose to be a session to teach us on JSP, but as the deadline get nearer and nearer, we still haven get a chance to attend the lesson. haiz..
this is like so damn irritating lor..

Waters

Last night watch a midnight movie "Waters". You won't be able to find from the listing of movie coz in Sg, they call is "Gigolo Wannabe" (yucky name). They seem to not know how to translate arh.. and the subtitle sux too..

Anyway it is a sneak preview. Extremely funny movie that make me laugh till i fall.. heehee...

it also allow me to learn the difference between "No 1" and "Top" (hahaha)



go and watch it ba~ out on 14 september

12midnight: headache, rushing through my maths notes, cannot understand at all the application of taylor series

1am: maths tutorial time, more headache, abit giddy, stuck @ qns 5a for quite some time

2am: still maths tutorial, feel like vomiting, cannot figure out how to do qns 6. everyone left msn to sleep.. i feel tired. eyes pain. shufen have send me the file for project, needs editing on domain diagram. too tired.

2:30am: battery fully charge, hiberate my com to take out the battery. halfway through hiberation, my com got illegal shutdon due to the loose wire. *panic* turn-on com. no big problem. but com starts to be abit slack. mozilla firefox bookmarks were all lost!! *extreme panic*. Then i start to add bookmarks in, but failed to do so.. something is wrong and i dunno wat.

7:30am: woke up, make a final decision on not going networking lecture. plan to stay at home finish up the domain modelling and do some readings. went back for another short nap

9am: start my pc. sms shufen abt the mozilla and not going networking, she replied and i called her. she suggest i uninstall and install it again. edit domain diagram while waiting for download. Uninstall and install => Problems still there.

10am: decide to defrag my com. did all that i can do. coz it was acting slightly better than my obasan only.. why my com go haywire? sian..

10:30am: current time, finish defraging and reinstall mozilla firefox. no help at all. still cannot add bookmarks... planning to uninstall it and use IE forever.

10:34am: current time, suppose to be doing my CS3234 tutorial since i haven complete it but then cannot do means cannot do.. i no longer have energy, stamina and the ability. no other feelings now except tired and sad... going into slight depression.

10:36am: current time, using my HP com to type all these things. kinda sad to see a less than one month old baby(IBM com) working just slightly better than a 4 years old(HP com).. i think i really going mad.. what time shall i leave home for sch?

10:37am: last week msn got problem. this week mozilla firefox have problem.. what abt next week?

10:39am: my giddness is acting up. but later got tutorial, need to go and need to finish up the tutorial. i feel like crying now.. life suddenly abit sux.. can't i just have a free day to rest properly? i think i really work very hard liao...

10:41am: needs to pack bag to sch.. brb

11:03am: haven bathe and haven pack bag, was moving bookmarks, or i should now call favourites now.. moving frm one IE to another.. Now uninstalling mozilla...

11:06am: finish packing bag, i simply dump 4 modules related stuff into my bag coz i simply cannot figure out which one i wanna do later.. my bag is freaking heavy for the day...

11:21am: finish showering.. itwas since so long then i shower so fast.. kept vomiting in the toilet, but there was nothing in my stomach.. all that i vomit was acid from stomach.. a sign of stress level increase...

11:22am: dun dare to go sch, din know that sch is something so scary to me.. i have friends waiting for me in sch and i am still like that.. how am i going to survive during my last 2 sems when no one is ard liao? (T_T)

11:23am: my tear keep flowing and i dunno why.. while i think is my computer problem that is making me like that, i cannot push all the blame to it either.. if u know me well.. u will know that my computer problems will lead me to a horrible stage.. i feel like a otaku...

Recent Updates (thurs, fri, sat)

Saturday

as usual went out with kkg (this is what we do every sat) haha.. shall not mention where we hang out to avoid unneccessary and unwanted ppl.. LOL.. anyway, today was like almost wanting to watch frostbite, but the synopsis was such a turned off.. so we gave up the idea.

Friday

Nothing much special apart from we went to get our FREE underwater-world ticket that "comes-along" with our SSS1207 module. YEAH!!

what a great feeling to have free tickets.. LOL.. i haven been there for quite some time..

Moreover, shufen, patrick, kim yoong and daphne also have the ticket, so it will be a happy-5 kind of journey..

Then on the way back to SOC from S2, this is what we saw (photos not well taken)

in case you wannna know, these fishes belong to life science department. It is kinda cool i feel.. anyway there are some pictures not available here, which are pictures of the more rare fishes..

Then anyway, we haven decide when to go underwater-world, but next weekend we will go Labrador Park(intertidal). This is due to our SS. Guess we really need to see more of such things. Have to go next weekend coz there are only 3 days in september that is low tide, from 8 sept to 10 sept. So we do not wanna wait till oct.

We have also somehow tentitatively decided that we shall go for the following "excursion" in the following order (if time allows)

1. Labrabor park
2. Raffles museum of BioDiversity Research (which is in FOS)
3. Tanah Merah
4. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve
5. Kent Ridge Secondary Forest
6. Sungei Buloh Nature Park

(and underwater-world in between)
