Spring!

Received a shock when i went to my EPP class on thurs... My grp mates just told me, "we'll be presenting later" n i was like "WHAT?"... I totally din know anything bt the presentation, n they din even send me an email or wad lorz... Then had to do a make shift presentation, which wasnt very good, but passable... But guess what, they din even do a power pt presentation too lor... N the presentation, was a piece of crap imo, the results werent even very concrete n yet they wanted to present... Hello? Presentation is abt presenting ur results after you're done, not presenting for the sake of presenting n "ma-lu-ing" urself... Tmd...

N this is part 1... I was suppose to work together with this other guy on my project... But we both need to decode some stuff 1st... I decoded the 1st part, then he say since i've done the 1st part, he wants to do the 2nd part... Ok lorz... Though i thought it was supose to be concurrent as in, both me n him doing the 2nd part but since he want to make it fair then so be it... I tried getting the raw data from him, but he kept insisting that he do can already... Then in the end, my deadline was suppose to be on friday, n until thursday, he haven do yet... Tell me he'll do it on thurs night, then i was like "u do on thurs night, then how i got time to decode my own data even if u come up with the decoder then... " Really tmd lorz... N when i talk to my prof, he was like, "how's the 2nd part decoding coming along?" then i kena stunned... Still tot he cleared with the prof liao... Really tmd... But heng, my prof is a nice guy, and i managed to have an extension... but felt real bad... There've been many sgreans b4 me, n i dun wanna tarnish the sg reputation...

This week has been bad, every night i've been doing hw which is due the next day... Really sibei stress lorz... Somemore, my midterm, think i did badly on it... Din know how to do a qn which is like 10 pts... Arrgh... N not to mention tt i may have other mistakes.. arrgh, dun wanna think bt it liao... I've been working hard to get my score back to 90, but now, i afraid tt i may have to pia much more... Praying hard now...

Spring has finally arrived, after much waiting... suddenly u c so many ppl in camppus, ppl u nv knew exist.. I.e. more chio bus... Heh... N of cos, wearing spring clothes which looks better... For once, i feel as though this is really the US, n not just a mugging school in sg... Haha... Too bad i dun really have the time to enjoy the sun, just too coped up with work... Giving myself a day off today, b4 i go back to mugging again tmr... 2 more impt midterms coming up, n of cos the most dreaded assignment of all, writing our own malloc... Hope everything will go well, i just cant wait to go back to sg... To see all my sg frens... To see my family... Hoping that time will fly... N everything will be over soon...

Conflict...

Hmm... Sometimes, i juz cant help but wonder how life would be if i'm not so "dun-want- confrontation" ... I dun like to tell ppl some things at times, but yet i cant help but be annoyed by them... I'm the kindaf person who dxn like to spend money on unnecessary stuff, but there're times when ppl say, share share, n i cant say no... So pay... N keep paying... Even though i dun even use these stuff... Haiz... N whenever i see the amt tt i have to pay... I get annoyed... I try to scrimp and save, avoiding as much spending on unnecessary stuff as possible, but hai... It aint really anyone's fault... but yet i cant help but bitch bt it...

untitled 1...

Its been some time since i last posted anything... Was too busy these days to really blog or anything... I havent been getting a good grasp on subjects and more often than not, i'm lost in oblivion... Cant even afford the time to play games, n yet i've so many other frens who're also lost in "oblivion"... the pc game called "oblivion"... Maybe its just me... putting too much stress on myself... But there're ppl ard who're putting even more stress on themselves... Just think bt it... Are u too stressed out by ur work? Always thinking about hw n worrying about grades n stuff... Though its gd to be concerned, excessive worries can seriously worsen ur life...

Having a series of bad tummy aches these days, think its stomach flu or something ike that... I feel bloated constantly every time, can go without food for long periods without feeling anything... Its usually my mouth seeing food and wanting to eat it that makes me eat... RAther than my stomach telling me its hungry... n it has to come at a time when i have stuff due everyday, n whats better, i only have time to work on it the day before... Win alrady lorz... but then again, i am shihong... I can do it...

Just thought of a lil qn in life... Imagine tt u've a deadline due tmr... Then you started doing n mid way through, u realised that its wrong... You then went to start thinking about it, trying to see what would be the correct thing to do... After thinking for a few hrs, u juz cant solve it... What would u choose? To admit to ur professor that you cant figure it out, or to continue on the wrong route and then let ur professor tell u u are wrong... But at least u can show him tt u did put in effort...
So how? Hmm....

Spring break...

Just had a nice break the last week... Went to Vegas fer some fun and relaxation... Its really very grand, with all the nice nice buildings as well as the pretty displays in front of the buildings... Ok pretty is the wrong word to use... Think breath-taking would be a much more appropiate word... Can you imagine a whole effiel tower in front of a building? Or a statue of liberty? Ok, i've nv seen the tower before so i dunno the size, but its really quite huge, considering that its only a decoration. There're so many themes to each of the individual hotels, i.e. Venice, Newyork, Desert, Paris, Caesar, etc... Just walking down the street and admiring the hotels would take at least 1/2 a day, but if u go into the hotels, think 1 day would sound better...
The casinos are all almost the same i feel, though there's a distinctive difference in the class of the casino... The feel is different, n of cos, the minimum bets are different too... Played mostly the slot machines, cos feeling quite broke n not too lucky... Lost around 10 bucks in all, but its really not tt much i feel... for several hours of entertainment...
Went to the grand canyon too. Dun really know how to describe it, its really very very big... Its not something which photos can really show, and as a quote from the bus driver, "you dun see the grand canyon, you experience it"... The bus ride was a lil long though, we left at 6+ am, returned at 9+ pm... N spent only like from 12 30 - 4 pm there... Not to mention we only walked around for like 2 hrs + the most... But well, its the grand canyon, you gotta pay a price to see it ...
The food there was good, buffets were readily available at $10 + USD... which is considered cheap for an international buffet... A normal western meal would easily cost ard $15, so 10 + is really quite a bargian... But the best is still the jap buffet which we went to at this restaurant called Todai... Its sushi is really fabulous, with like 10 kinds of rolls and the normal standard salmon, egg, prawn, wadever sushi. the good thing about it though, is that they offer large and fresh pieces of salmon with only a lil rice, unlike other restaurants which normally give huge pieces of rice too... And they still have cooked japanese food, like teppanyaki, (which i din eat much of cos i ate otherS) mixed tempura, teriyaki chicken, japanese tofu, with very nice japanese crab items... dunno wad they're called ... But well, u get the idea... N it costs only like $16 after all the +++... Wah, songz boh... I whacked my favourite tempura until the end of the buffet, but 1 reason was tt their tempura is a lil slow to come out... cos there're all the veges which no one eat... N i only eat the prawns... Not gng to waste my stomach on some brinjal or wadever...

All in all, i think i quite enjoy the trip. Though not a spectacularly wonderful trip, but it has nice stuff to see, good food to eat, and best of all, its at a relaxing pace... Hate trips where you gotta rush to places... the pt of a holiday is to relax, not to rush here n there.... But well, no sooner that i got back to pittsburgh then i have to start mugging again... And everything repeats itself... Haiz...

Thinking...

Realised i haven been updating this blog much, really sry to all those who came to see something interesting, but got let down by seeing the old entries again... assuming tt there is really some ppl who come to see what i've gotta say... All my bitching, complaining n stuff...

After my disastrous 213 exam, one in which i thought i got the material right, or at least, 70 % of the material understooded, after tonnes of mugging... which in e end turned out to have at least 70% test on the 30% which i simply browsed through... not to mention the stupid stack (some jargon) which i've finally mastered not even appearing in any part of the paper, when its suppose to be an impt topic... N guess wad, i actually had a nightmare on it... Dreamt tt i got 22/75 while the rest of my frens, who got more than twice my score... Woke up at 7:30 am cos of tt, n spent like 10 mins in dreamland comforting myself that even with 22/75, its ok... N i floated back to sleep... When i finally woke up, i was so confused that i had to immediately go n check my scores, just to see if its out... Yeah, tts the traumatic effect this freaking exam had on me...

Sometimes, the world aint as nice as u see it... Remember, no matter wad, u're seeing but a fraction of it... The facet that u're exposed to... but how about the other side of the world? the side that u have never been exposed to, or u simply chose to ignore it... Everyone has a different char, n no one is perfect... Soemtimes, u need not have any flaw for ppl not to like u, its juz ur char tt dxn match them... The things u do, the way u think is simply different and tt itself is reason enough for seeds of discord to start sow-ing... But does it matter? that is the question...
Who cares about thsoe who dun like u? So long u got ur own grp of frens, ur own life which u're happy with, do other stuff really matter? Hmmm...

Think my life recently has been changing quite a lot... Lotsaf ups n downs... Mostly due to work n stuff... think i'm getting too carried away by my grades, being too stressed... but y am i stresssed? Cos i keep telling myself tt i'll relax after this sem... Or more practically, relax later in the future... But if i want to relax later, y stress myself out so much now? Dxn really make sense in a way... but me being me, i know its really hard for me to slack considering my mentality...

But oh well, now tt spring break is coming, i shd really just sit back n relax a little... play mahjong, soccer, rtk VII, go eat nice food, n just slacking back at home... I can sense the next tidal wave coming in 2 weeks, but there's nthing i can really do bt it... so y not juz enjoy while i can, n mug again when i need to...
