system proposal

finally settle down and it is time to code..

the presentation venue was super cold and the pre-working of it overnight @ S16 was a super tiring one.. after the presentation, project discussion was called off so that we can rest..
but poor sf and dap still have lesson after that...

finally i manage to complete the historical write-up and can pass to junkai
this friday is the dateline and i wonder how is the work.. so sorry that he is doing with 3 ppl who are struggling @ CS3214

briefly mention some events below:

wee kek's bday..

the 5 of us, me, sf, dap, kim and pat bought a cake for my advisor for his bday as he is really a big help to us.. THANK YOU!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY (it was on monday).. i think the 5 of us really like him alot.. coz he really stay back with us to help us despite that he has his own homework to do.. and it was his bday.. (T_T)

overnight stay +++ presentation

this one was really a horrible one, coz hands and brains cannot rest.. abt 6,7am, sf and me left (one after another) to go back and change.. she need to take off contacts and went specs, and i need to change for the presentation.. the rain came at the wrong time.. i panic when i couldn't get a cab back to sch.. thank you mr sim and my dear er ge who offered to help (to drive me to sch).. eventually i still make in to reach half an hour before.. despite of the super-traffic-jam..

the presentation was not really smooth.. and dap cry (T_T) poor thing.. she blames herself for not getting the key point.. but it wasn't as bad as what she thinks.. i really like MY team-mates.. staying overnight to fight through the presentation was never an easy chore.. minna-san~ ganbatte ne~ yukifumi-chan ganabtte ne~

saturday~sunday, monday~tuesday

Start of Week 5

Cannot control tears..

ST2131 lecturer say that sem1 and sem2 ST2131 is very different
Sem1 is much tougher... my heart sank..
it was not like i dun wanna take it last sem.. do i have a choice.. do i?
it's exam clash with database.. i wan to take but i can't..

CS3214 is making me crazy.. i started to be unable to control my stress nor my emotions..
i sux big.. and i contribute nothing.. yet i'm stress.. i just sux..

this may not be my last semester

the original plan: complete 20MCs and then find a job by the start of next year

probably new plan: drop 2 modules by 1oct and then take them in the following semester.

This is because CS3214 is hectic.. i use almost everyday of my week to rush for it..
my lectures, which are the super tough ones, i have either skip or slept through due to the tiredness.. anyone can tell me how..
shuhan, ST2131 is failing me.. (T_T)

unlucky continues...

tuesday i had just posted up some unlucky thing that happen to be like almost kena knock by a car, yesterday things became worse

on the way to bishan mrt to take a lift from my friend to school, i fell on the stairs. the edge of the stairs badly injured my left leg that walking was abit of problem now (just abit)

then in school, while my friend was sending me to law link (where COM1 is located), we had a car accident. a SMRT taxi knock into us, at my side, causing the door of the passenger seat (where i'm sitting) to have a bad dent. Pershaps out of human reaction, my friend turn right and knock into the edge of A2. eventually, it cause a super big jam there. it was at the junction where A1 turn left after central library bus-stop. As a result, everyone from A2 has to alight, and the drivers all alighted to take note of the details of the accident.

the only lucky thing was probably no injury. both of my friend and i have shock, but we do not seems to be hurt. afterall, the morning fall make me being unable to differentiate which pain is from which accident.

the car has to go for repairs, and according to my friend, it'll take a month before he can collect it.

actually i'm pretty sorry towards my friend as if he din send me to sch, such things may not happen.. now he probably has to pay alot for the repairs and compensation to the SMRT taxi and the NUS bus service..

last but not least, the reason why i did not mention my friend's name here is becoz he may not wan ppl to know of his accident. so allow me to keep it as a secret.

new semester~

the past 2 weeks i have been busy with CS3214 workshop.. or i should say i slack around it.. all of us (the 5 of us) have no mood in it.. (T_T)

then daphne has been influence by me to watch nana anime and she is addicted.. bwhahaha.. i love it too.. have been watching it and the following show

1) NANA anime
2) Sapuri
3) Yamada Tarou Monogatar
4) Sushi Oji [on the way to my computer now]

then daphne lent me shutter and i finish watching too.. woo...

upcoming:

a start of a new semester but week 1 have to discuss project on my free-day liao.. sian..
the lecturer even say we have to get mahjong paper to draw use-case diagram.. haha
then CS3214 make everyone panic and the lecturer say that no matter how early you start the project etc etc.. you can't avoid looking at sunrise and sunset @ NUS [means alot of overnight in sch], afterall, the sch network is better..

the new SOC campus called COM1 is @ law link and i dun like the fact that no reception @ B1 and the wireless internet sux.. so that's how's law's wireless like in the past huh...

enough of updates.. coz i'm rushing with my battery, which is going to be flat soon.. and gonna rush out for a movie.. din manage to catch it on national day @ i actually wish for.. hehe

commencement is so.....

... TOUCHING!!

i'm NOT exaggerating k!! i went to liyan's commencement and i wonder if i would feel as touching next year.. coz it really felt like all urs sufferings pay off.. (T_T)

then i was smsing dear dear:

me: dear dear, i think commencement is a very touching thing

dd: really? dear dear next year is our turn

sounds scary i think.. coz it make me wonder if i can graduate next year.. haha..

anyway, there is lots of pictures to come, only if liyan send me.. coz all is in her digital cam.. This reminds me that i insist to my DD that next year i wanna get a digital cam before commencement. A digital cam that is officially mine.

a few things that i learn from commencement:

1) all robe carrier has to be deposited at the "front of house"
yan and i was thinking that depositing was a trouble coz after that u have to queue to get it back, so her mum hold for her during the commencement. and within mins after seated, one lady came and told yan's mum that she cannot bring the carrier in, so i had to bring deposit it.

2) arrange to meet your friends earlier for photo taking
after commencement, there will be tons of ppl trying to take photo etc which make things a super mess. It is (instead) easier to take photo before the commencement. Some nice place will be the NUS musuem located in UCC. so i decided that i had to arrange an earlier meeting next year to take photos with DD, sf, dap, kim as i think it is a lovely thing to have 5 ppl taking a photo in their robe and the 5 ppl suffer together in the hands of 3214.. haha

3) pre-arrange transportation
we waited for some time before we decided to take bus 96 to clementi to take cab back coz it was super difficult to take cab from UCC (as there were many ppl with same intentions) and then the cab centre is also busy (since many ppl 'll also call them) so advance booking is generally safer (in my opinion)

best of all, i learn how to wear the robe and that safety pin is very impt..

at the end of the commencement, i suddenly think of my 2nd sis-in-law who is afraid of balloons as tons (i suspect there is 1 k) of balloon drop from the ceiling as many ppl were busy bursting it. It sounds like horrible fireworks.

i really thank yan for inviting me to her commencement as it was super interesting, touching as well as a very nice feeling to witness your best friend going to the next phrase of her life. And also yan's parents who were super-duper nice ppl. i really like them!! Thank for the dinner treat too!! (o^_^o)

sun/mon/tue/wed

let me say them at once ba~

sunday:
was a day @ home.. dinner was @ swa garden. some weird weird shop @ macpherson road (daphne i think is near ur house) food was suppose to be great, but it wasn't.. dessert[yam with pumpkin + gingko] was the best despise being too sweet... the vegetable was even better than the goose.. and the steam fish was great except the pinch of MSG that they have put.. (T_T)

monday:
went back to school for 2 things

1) transcript to go MHA
with thanks to miyabi, the transcript was pretty fast. i got in it less than 5 mins on-the-spot. but i press the button to get a paper and after waiting for ages, they told me that the number does not exists.. ask me to repress... (T_T)

[in between] had lunch and dear dear pass me the couple-rings that he collected from the shop on sunday!! (o^_^o)

2) sun microsystem java certified programmer course [super-boring]
the course.. sux.. smart kim din even apply for it.. we saw huijun in the course who was sitting behind me.. she ask me what i have done since holiday till now and i say shopping lor.. so paiseh to tell her that i have been dating till that day .. hehe..
anyway, shufen, daphne and i left the room twice(i think) to go canteen during the break and took a long time back.. super boring.. on top of that, they ended abt 4pm instead of the 5:30pm mention, thus we accompanied daphne whose bf is coming to fetch her @ 5.45pm.. then we plan to go munchie monkey but i knew it was close and confirm it by checking email @ lab.. super-sian.. then dear dear became sick and we decide to leave 1st.. leaving sf with dap

tuesday:

a day of shopping!! but i din buy much leh.. only one top, one moisturizer and one waterproof eye-remover.. lunch was super event-full. we went to marina square in search of a lunch buffet but cannot find.. then went to suntec for ku-shin-bo but it was close for renovation, then went kenny roger and also close for renovation. finally decided to eat at siam kitchen for buffet but buffet is for dinner.. super sian that we went to eat @ some dunno-what-shop instead.. haiz..

wednesday:

rest day!! woo~~ so happy that i finally get a good rest today.. cook yummy lunch today.. i love broccoli, mushroom, carrot and got mama to buy all that so that i can fried vege.. then cook prawn and chicken.. lunch was superb.. hehe.. i was trying to learn how to "pluck" broccoli to remove the awful parts coz hime can cook but not good at preparation..

long-time-no-updates!!

recently have been pretty busy with mugging that i really have no time for updates.. hehe.. minna-san gomen ne~

nowadays after mugging @ school.. i take bus home and fall aslp within mins after bathe and drying hair..

sometimes daphne take bus with me.. sometimes she have a subaru to take her home (o^_^o)

i can sense mugging in the air, but i still have one project not submitted.. dateline is tml and today i have to cheong abit.. i guess.. no doubt that alot of reading and "benkyoing" has to be done.. but just settle that ba~

recently database project result is out. highest marks is 19/20, but my group got 18/20.. though was quite ok with it.. but on the other hand also slightly dissappointed..

that day i remove a post from this blog with super thanks to "shao ye" for scaring me.. now i think i might have to rechange some name in some post to reduce problems.. how would i know that kai kai (jun kai) and "shao ye" do read my blog? in the end, some things have to be left unspoken.. super sian~

but yan yan can find out some stuff from me instead...

i think i need my doramas..

flash and me and other things

doing alot of flash and using photoshop make me feel a few things

i wish i can free-transform myself.. then i'll not lock the transformation, but increase my height and decrease my width

i wish i can photoshop myself.. to perfect skin and fair color-tone that i always wanted

i wish i can never be navigated.. play from the start and no pause..

a weird thinking.. i know.. haha.. just some wild thinking..

starting to worry abt 3214.. like who's going to be the six person, shall we have a six person etc and things like next sem apart from 3214, i'll be separated from my sweet daphne and lovely shufen which makes me abit sad sad~~

then i might be torture to death under the hands of devil [joking] haha

or i may torture them to death [not joking] haha..

while i was reading ard for 3214 related blogs and realise that tons of ppl die in the hand of that module, i saw pat's picture kena posted online.. [super funny] coz he is very small in the picture but both sf and k can recoginise him when i send them that picture. Find a chance to show the rest ba

sybase sux

the stupid sybase is really a horrible software, so horrible that we have so much problem with it that we have to stay overnight in sch to finish.. imagine doing a project from friday 10am to sat 7pm w/o slp, bathe etc.. i felt so gross when going home.. yucks..

haiz.. at least finally one down.. now have to rush oral presentation before i can throw all my effort into HCI project, the flash is also giving me problem.. the music help file keep having error.. i solve it and a few days later, error again.. what the heck is the problem..!!

updates updates

nowadays my days are abit fixed... doing abt the same thing everyweek.. not exactly but ard there

mon: either i am in sch for project or i'll be sleeping at home for the whole day, or watch drama the whole day
tue: after lesson either do project or 'll go engineering and meet boss for dinner, then do tutorial for the next day tutorial lesson
wed: if have gen bio lab, will do finish the assignment with shufen, else will go over and meet boss again.
thur: almost the same as monday, but alternatively will go town and get my magazines etc
fri: after gen bio lesson do HCI project
sat: HCI project
sun: database project

thus it seems like i haven seen yanyan for quite some time either.. haha.. only realise it when that day she msg me and say like haven seen me for some time...
when did i last see heR? BTC day i think... or the sometime ago friday lunch? can't remember which came 1st.. but i think i haven seen kkg even longer...

anyway, recently i have been a BIG slacker.. watching dramas every night and else movies... had just complete the movie tokyo tower by kuroki hitomi and V6 okada junichi... never did i realise matsumoto jun in also inside and both of them are very shuai sia.. (o^_^o) but it is so fun hearding jun say that he like older woman and he dun understand why old man like the gers of his age... haha.. then also finish watching johnny's countdown concert 06-07.. guess i waited too long.. it would probably be nicer if i watch in jan..

now watching 翼の折れた天使たち got 4 episode in total, on japan tv since 26 feb
toda erika and karina is definitely the reason why i watch it!!

few interesting stuff

some interesting stuff from my BTC module abt intercultural communication..
everyone say i'm bias
coz this chapter is not tested in exam, thus i only "highlight" those related to japan.. haha..

some interesting points to note(abt japan):
1) japanese good writing style is to write with ki-sho-ten-ketsu
2) in japan, there is at least 15 ways of saying "No"
3) Pepsi-Cola's slogan "Come alive with Pepsi-Cola" is translated to "Pepsi-Cola brings your ancestors back from the grave" in Japanese
4) when presenting to japanese audiences, they would nod their heads and say nothing during the presentation. however, nodding their heads does not means that they agree, but just that they understand what you say.

some interesting points to note(general)
1) as most country take the form of hand shaking as greeting, bowing in japan, kissing cheek(s) in France and Belgium, etc etc, the MOST INTERESTING would be that KISSING LIPS IN RUSSIA.
2) In China, the normal response to an English compliment such as "Your dress looks very pretty!" is "No, no, it's very ordinary! It's cheap!", which may baffle many people from Western cultures who expect "Thank you" as a response. To Chinese, "Xie Xie" (Thank you) in this situation is likely to be seen as arrogant and strange.
3) Don't show admiration of possesions in an Arab or Latin American home as the owner will feel compelled to give you the item you have admired.
4) Physical touching in public is common among Latin Americans (more than 100 times per hour in a cafe situation)
5) In thailand, things in threes are welcomed as gift.
6) Don't buy gift for Arab women

there are still alot of interesting points which i think i'll post later i guess... tired..

random updates

suddenly dunno what to blog...

haven been switching on my lappy since after the shopping day.. coz friday was too tired after a day of database, and saturday worse still.. completely knock-off after a series of mahjong session [lost, though not alot but still lost]

abit lazy and forgot to check my email abt 2301 and was freaking shock to realise one of my group member din send me his part.. immediately called him to check it out.. Guess i too gan cheong...

alot of fun recently, but test is coming so abit sian sian.. haiz..

abt movies: to kkg
Letters from Iwo Jima is not available at many cinemas
only @ GV plaza, GV VivoCity, GV Grand, Orchard Cathay, The Cathay

YEAH!! JAVA to C++

Congratulations to kim and hime!!
got full marks for the exam!! no worries abt it liao!! woowoo...
to think that we actually score 0 for labs lor.. which make us panic..
now happy liao.,. no worries!!

tml is shopping day.. ganbatte ne~~

joe's birthday!!

but nothing is updated on his official website!! i wonder how he celebrate his bday~

seems like he is very busy with all the movies and have no time for drama.. no drama from him.. abit sad.. coz his movies all very expensive.. sg ppl only know him in shinobi, so he is not famous enough till his movie flood sg (after all there isn't such a japanese movie either, *blame korea*)

think recently he very busy in promoting mushishi.. guess it would be one show that i would save hard to get it coz he looks really yummy.. haha.. no la.. i mean so shuai.. hehe

as for me.. on the day of his birthday.. i think i abit suai..
i started the day with a endless project discussion, which ends abt 3/4am in the morning, had some sleep, woke up freaking late with horrible skin, and took a cabby to school, missing the 70% of the lesson.. but kim was better, he completely skip it..

met kkg and yanyan during lunch break.. makan with junkai while waiting for kim and pat to finish his lesson.. the indian food cauliflower is so yummy!! even yanyan agrees with me!! hime dun really like cauliflower.. can eat, but i am a brocoli person.. but this is so freaking good... haha.. it helps to make my day abit more cheerful, but i din expect disaster to come..

BTC and database kills me.. the thought of HCI make me cry.. i used to like gallo.. but the proposal part kills me.. why deadline is friday when he wun even take a look at it till wednesday? junkai's tutorial is given one week to do, while us, approx less than 48 hours..
and worse still, while each group have 4 ppl, my group only has 3.. though many ppl say that my group has the elite, thus only 3 ppl.. but i just wanna pity myself for being so poor thing.. like everything is wrong.. i ended up dropping some tears in the toilet, hiding away from my clique...

kim was just as poor thing.. but i think he is really strong.. and his poor thing is also some part of my fault.. coz i din write the email for him to gallo to change group, but i did for shufen.. though pat says that one of them will eventually suffer, but i just feel guilty that his misfortune is part of my fault.. so i try my best to help him in whatever ways i can..

today nothing was accomplished.. except pop quiz....

I HATE THE STUPID UNIVERSITY FOR EATING INTO MY CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY!!! (T_T)

World Skills in Shizuoka!!

So unfair!!

Why my year is in Seoul? If it is in Japan, i would never dropped out no matter what..

i envy the people in poly now..

user manual related

CS2301 2nd assignment is user manual.. seems like a problematic task for shufen and kim becoz of group-related problem, whereas a breeze for daphne in this area, but some problem in their work.

As for me, i think is a breeze.. thanks to my wonderful partner boopathi and eugene. Think they were really good and efficient and all our stuff is done on time etc. all done, now only lack of printing..

boss is printing for me, while i have liyan, patrick, da jie as backup for me incase any problem..

yesterday conference with Gallo made me really very happy coz he was full of praise for my user manual. I was pretty worried before that coz there wasn't nice comments on the group before. and most importantly, the changes were so minor that i could get my group member to go back while i do this minor changes.

Then can go kino.. haha.. was chatting with eugene's gf on the way and i think i can click with her.. pat say must be becoz of japanese stuff.. true, but most importantly i think her love for kimono is so cute.. very simple and nice ger.. maybe becoz she is younger than me so i somehow felt she is adorable too.. haha

next is proposal to come.. i really pray very very hard that bad things dun fall on me.. think need go temple pray pray..

i have a copy of my DNA!!

haha... this title sound stupid coz i have MANY copies of my DNA in my body.. but what i mean is i manage to extract my DNA out during gen bio lab today
