Me...mine...mind...
Let me refresh your memory on my disgusting 2100 paper.
Haiz.. and as i was saying i'm screwed and truth behold i indeed am. How great! It was a game of luck vs pattern recognition. As i was looking through all the other mcq questions that i did i realised i had more than half of it not completed. and that means that i either have no idea what it is talking about or i needed more then 5 mins to do that question. So anyways that was only the horrible section A mcq.
Here comes section B. 4 questions 5 marks each. And just great! i looked through it and cursed silently to myself. Shit what the hell are these questions asking for man!! Behold the legendary Zero for this section. And there was it! i just scribbled some answers for the first two questions and left the last two blank. Then i went back guessing the rest of the questions for section A.
The very worst part came after the paper. Wwf said: "90% of the people in this world had no idea what was written in the paper u just did. 80% of the people in nus can't even answer half of those question. So don't worry u're in the top of ur tier. "
Haha... what rubbish was he talking about man.. seriously.. so he expected us to not know how to do the questions i guess. And so i';m going to buong this paper.. one more paper for me to buong.. cs 2102 database.
I've just discovered today that it's a close book exam!! hahaha.. and with my knowledge of SQL now.. i think i'm way beyond screwed!
hahahaha.. that's it guys.. i'm so doomed.!!!
Presenting........ a cutie!!!
Heee hee... i don't mean myself! hahahaha.. i seriously don't. Here are the photos that i've promised to put up with pictures of me little nephew. He's such a charm. So cute!!
Declan Chua. born on the 15th September 2008.
On the very day that his grandparents got married at least 30 plus years ago. What a wonderful gift to them.
Introducing.... the little darling!
(sleeping as usual)
(declan with his mommy)
(declan with his grandma)
(check out his little hands outside his blanki ..declan trying to reach for milk.. )Can't stand it! he's so cute.. oh did i mention that he has double eyelids like his dad? but it's not the obvious kind.. it's the inside flip kind. Erm not sure how to describe that.. but yeah. he's cute anyways.
Mommy just went to visit him yesterday and she said that he's all awake. crying and shitting like all babies do. Shall go visit him this weekend again before school starts and i'm all stuck under the pile of never ending work!
Bad morning.. bad afternoon.. goodnight
MONDAYS MONDAYS... the worst day of the week. EVER!
Mondays defeats any other days that i thought was bad. Today was the worst of all the bad mondays. My brain had to freeze up today. I mean why today?? it's very much in demand today for the finance quiz. project meeting. 2100 tutorial. Oh did i mention i went to tutorial today without doing any work??
It was terrible enough to even go for 2100 tutorials with work done. It's even worst going without. i was so lost trying to understand whatever shit Wwf was trying to teach. Lit was not that bad. I like listening to people's analysis of the book the bad part is i haven't even gotten the book to read it yet and the lecture on it is already over. Lucky for me there is a one week recess break next week. Hopefully i can catch up with the already piling workload.
Alright.. so it's a really bad day. Which started off with a headache. So my face was pretty 'black' and totally unapproachable today. I think i was pretty much frowning off the entire day. BUT around 8 i saw an sms that totally lit up my day..... DECLAN CHUA DU SIN is born!! woo hoo..
My little nephew.!! can't wait to carry him around. He's so cute! But i can't upload the picture for some reason so we've gotta defer the pictures for a while but don't fret. there's going to be loads and loads of pictures of him soon. hahahaha.. cute little thing.
Congrats to Mark kor kor and jie ling jie jie and Wie r yuuuuu(Cheers in korean-- adopted from korean shows) to Declan.
OK going back to work. Tons to catch up. Look forward to loads of pictures.!!
Screwed is spelt with an 'S' for a reason (s...h...i...t)
Finance quiz is on monday and i'm pretty much screwed for that too! 6 chapters that i've read and understood but that's not the point! the point is that it is a close book quiz and since i'm not really certain about the calculations and the way of getting about doing it I'm to conclude just ScREWED! woo hooo.. hahahaha.. oh not to mention i haven't done any of my tutorials for tomorrow. ain't that just great??
I'm just praying that next week will go past in a flash and i can find lots of good study areas to fully make use of my recess week that will make or break my grades this sem. I'm counting on myself to study hard and i hope that i will really do that. I've gotta swollow at least 3 of my lit books. Mastering SQL 800 page book and well.. pretty much my entire 2100 digital logic circuit text.Plus my readings for 2250. Not to mention the projects that i will have to complete in that measly one week break.
Wish me luck!!
Literature & Programming in one breathe??!!!
I never understood why my friends hated literature.
Maybe because literature is like programming quoted from something a senior said..
Writing a poem is the way you put certain words together to form a piece of art.If everything goes well you get a good one. Sometimes seemingly simple words put together a strong image just like programming does.
This is about the best description i've heard about programming from just about anyone.
A programmer would most likely to tell you that the best program is the one with the shortest lines of codes. The words reveals the complexity in thinking and the absolute brillianess of a writer.
Strange thoughts my senior has. Strange indeed don't you think?A really nice way to describe things. Just this thought got me thinking how brilliant this senior is. How noobified i feel compared to the tons of brilliant people i meet in school. Hopefully i can make my stay there long enough to 'pick on their brains.
Meeting loads of brilliant/brainy people in school seems to make up one of the strange reasons that drags me out of bed and to school everyday.School's pretty interesting right? How contradictory it is to my previous post? Hahaha.. but then again i just completed my lit assignment and i am allowed to be as such. Right?
IroNic...ReFlective... SaTirical..
Maybe now i understand a bit to why my friends hate literature.
Maybe.... just maybe... Literature is like programming. English that doesn't really make much sense but to the selected group of people.
I seem to have lots of thoughts now.... isn't it just a great time to get a blog?
This is just something dixon showed me that i thought is pretty funny so here it is... titled "Are com
puters Male or Female" Five reasons to believe computers are female: - No one but the Creator understands their internal logic.
- The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.
- The message "Bad command or file name" is about as informative as, "If you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you".
- Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.
- As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
However, another group of computer scientists (all female) think that computers should be referred to as if they were male. Their reasons follow:
Five reasons to believe computers are male:
- They have a lot of data, but are still clueless.
- They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are the problem.
- As soon as you commit to one you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have obtained a better model.
- In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.
- Big power surges knock them out for the rest of the night.

The first but definitely not the last!
My very first post!! I know that the background of my blog still pretty much look like their in the dirt(especially since i'm using the default templates). IF any of my nus friends sees this they'll pretty much swear their heads off this. And the conversation will most probably go something like this:
friend: what the F* is that ugly default template doing ?
me: what?? I'm lazy!
friend: like hell.. it doesn't take an effort to go find some templates and just paste it on first what?
me: yeah... okok
(exaggerated version1)
Well.. i'm just procrastinating here coz there are a pile of unfinished work waiting for me to do.(No surprise here hur?)
I have a feeling that this is going to be a loong long post.
Well... It takes less than a month for school to suck all the fun out of me. My mood had been sliding and my workload has been increasing exponentially. That doesn't even sound as bad as it is. Mastering SQL by Martin Gruber has just became my 'bible' and my laptop has now became my latest work companion. I can't seem to go anywhere to study without my laptop which proves to be very much of a chore since i'll need to find a powerpoint everywhere i go and of course it'll be better to have internet access then i'll really love that place! (HINTS:please tell me where i can find those places to study?)
Got barred from bringing in my notes and my gruber bible in yesterday at the national library's science and tech library. That anal security guard just had to check everything! How anal! Luckily, i was studying with Ade and she brought me to over to her school at city hall. And i spent the rest of the night there attempting to devour my 800 over pages bible. It's great to study outside where it's all quiet. I seem to be better able to concentrate there, i needed that! i have like 1 finance quiz and 1 cs2100 mid term exam next week plus a lit assignment to submit and a stupid cs2250 project meeting that just kept being postponed to attend.My plan is to finish my lit assignment today so that i can do some research in the reference library later to bump up the 'shallow-ness' of my analysis of the two poems. (quoted from a new friend from somewhere)
I have to admit that i'm pretty much digging up my own grave taking EN1101E: Understanding literary studies this sem. I really like reading all the lit books and learning how to analyse a poem. I genuiely think that it's interesting. But after talking/discussing to my fellow lit students in my tutorial class makes me think that i'm darn screwed up for this module. I can't analyse things as good as them coz all i read for school are just numbers and pictures and codes that are in english but don't really make much of a sense to anyone else but Soc people. Words and readings are about as foreign to me as those non english/ english codes. In conclusion, i'm screwed for this module.
And let's not even start on my cs modules. Those are incredibly long stories to tell. In short, i've got one lousy lecturer, one terribly fast going module that i have to chase up to after devouring my Mastering SQL bible and a hell lot of readings to do for another.
I think i shall stop here.. else it's really going to be a super long post. I'll put up more pictures later when i get bored of studying.Especially my dad's birthday pictures. Those pictures are really darn nice and it's a waste not to share it.
