Lucky Day

I was actually quite lucky today.

I was on the way to school, at Boon Lay MRT platform seated at the bench awaiting the arrival of the train while furiously flipping my notes. In came the train, I took my bag on boarded the train found a seat and sat down and continue reading my notes. Then came along this lady who approached me and asked if the phone she is holding in her hands mine. And YES! Of couse its mine! Only then I realised my phone slipped out of my pocket when I was seated on the bench. All thanks to this kind lady, if not my day would have been ruined and no mood for my evening paper. Thank you kind lady.

Lately more good things have been happening on me, my previous 2 papers were managable, at least no encoding failure or retrieval failure kind of shit, the previous umbrella girl, WeiBin, and today, the kind lady who returned my phone!! Hohoho! Hope more good things will befall on me!!!

The next best thing that can happen is I can do tmr's Statistic paper. Mathematics had always been a problem to me. And I thought being in Arts Fac, I would not face anymore Math for the rest of my life, but little do I know, all Social Sciences subjects require the use of Statistics. To make matter worse, all other Majors only have 1 core Stats module but Psychology there are 2 modules of Stats, meaning to say, I will be taking Statistic again. Good riddance...

I need loads of sleep to prepare for tmr's battle. Once again, wish me luck!

I CAN DO IT!!!

Gd night!

Wish me LUCK!

Tmr is my greatest fear, PL2131 - Research Methods and Statistics 1. Everyone please pray for me and wish me luck...

Hay days

Tmr is the day, i've been excitingly anticipating (ya rite!) for the past weeks. Yes! My 1st paper finally..

28th Nov - PL3233 Evening
29th Nov - GEK1500 Evening
30th Nov - PL2131 Afternoon
4th Dec - LL4039 Afternoon
6th Dec - PL3235 Evening

Wish me luck!! Not very confident, not very promising, but very sleepy! Gd night!

Condolences

My deepest condolences to Tecksiong. I can't say I understand how you feel, but I do know its not easy. Its not easy now, its not gonna be any easier in the near future. Just gonna take it in good stride, a step at a time. At least you have got Beeling to tide over this difficult period with you, and not forgetting us too. Hope our presence did make you feel more light hearted today.

Take care my dear friend; my condolences once again.

Autumn's Textbook of Life

Went for a jog just now. Refreshing.

Had been going back to school to study for the past few days. Its draining me mentally and exams have not even started yet.

The module that I have least hope in is Statistics. I think I'm done for. The theory seems easy and all but I've been trying the past year papers, and the theory doesnt seem to apply to the application. No one to help me on that module. I'm doomed!!

I'll be glad if I don't see any C on my transcript this semester. Daniel Powter had a Bad Day. I'm having a Bad Semester! Who's worse off?!!

"Yesterday...all my troubles seem so far away, now it looks like they're here to stay, oh I believe, in yesterday..."

Meeting a kind soul

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday when I was on the way to school for Stats lecture. To make matter worse, the old Clementi interchange was torn down and it is shifted across the road. Meaning to say, one needs to go into the rain wait for the lights, and cros the road in order to get from the MRT station to the interchange where bus 96 resides. So I was stucked and was running late for class.

Came along a kind soul who offered to shelter me across to the interchange after seeing the helpless me stuck at the side. Kind people are really hard to find these days. So I accepted her offer and she sheltered me across. Her small umbrella can't really contain the both of us, thus end up, we were still kinda wet on each side. She even offered to shelter me across from the Computer Centre Busstop to Arts but the rained stopped when we got off the bus. I was still late for class though but if not for her, I would be later.

So thank you Weibin, who is a Yr2 Econs Major. It brightens my day to meet a helpful little girl.

Mugging for exams has been hard this semester. Somehow lack the motivation to do so. Something is pulling me back from devoting my full effort, which I don't know what, or maybe I know but well, whatever. Progess is definitely slow, exams dates are definitely nearing. Stress is accumulating, maybe I should just run away.

15 days to my 1st paper!

Stressed!! Its getting nearer and nearer to the exams and I'm still no where near ready.

Saturday went to PS to work. Not bad, earned myself some bucks at least. Sunday was mugging day.

Wish all the NTU and NUS folks good luck for their upcoming exams! I need luck too!! Lots of them!

Stressed and out!

Wonderful weekends

As mentioned earlier, I really did slacked my entire weekends away.

Sat went for my school openhouse from 9am-4pm. Below is a post of some of the photos taken, they are mainly my publicity photos actually. lolx..My job at the open house is mainly to be at the NPCC booth and smile to people that comes along. Spoke to a few parents and primary 6 kiddos. Went for dinner after the open house with AhLian, and chilled at CoffeeBean till 10+pm and home I went.

Sun, met up Shumin at Raffles City with Teck Siong and another 2 of Shumin's friends. She wanted to pass me some survey forms to be completed for her FYP. Gosh! Her survey are meant for people of age 40-70! Thanks ar ger, for such a good deal! Had lunch at BK Raffles City, afterwhich Tecksiong and Beeling left. We went to plat pool and bowling at marina square. Been such a long long time since I last went bowling, maybe a decade ago?! Well, didnt played well, guess its all rusty already, 2 games, 1st game was 121. 2nd game was 117. Lousy scores. But it was fun nevertheless. Next to our lane there is this little kiddo with his coach. This kiddo looks like maybe primary 3? He played 5 games and his highest score was 178!! Incredible!

Slpt very late on sun night, went to school drowsy today. Couldnt pay attention during Cognitive lecture and slept through half of social psy lecture. At least I did some studying after dinner just now.

I got back my Cognitive Psyc Term paper today. I thought I'm screwed, but I guess the Prof was lenient in marking. He bracketed my introductory paragraph and remarked, "I cannot understand this - Can you?" Lolx..Obviously I cannot understand as well, the whole chunk was lifted from some journal article which was properly cited of course. If the Prof doesnt understand something from a journal article, how would I? Well, I got a B-. Not good, but I'm glad I didnt fail.

Results for my GEK 1500 Quiz was posted on IVLE, I got 51/60. I don't know the avg and SD yet, so cant judge if thats a good score. But at least it looks better than my previous quiz which was 36.5/60. Improvement! Way to go!

I should be able to finish up my lab report by tommorrow. After stats tutorial I shall analyse my data and print it out and complete my results and discussion portion. Only then can I go full swing into studying for finals. Doesnt feel good with something left undone, hanging in the air.

As for now, sleep is what I need most. Good night!

Pioneer Sec Open House 04/11/06

Counting down to exams (Holidays!!!!!)

Alright its time to countdown to the exams, or rather counting down to my holidays!!! Just cant wait for it to come! This is probably the last weekend that I'm going slack away, need to get down to serious biz next Mon onward. The final lap of the semester, one which I cannot afford to lapse.

Since its the last that I can slack, I should slack it away, without any worries. Tmr is my Secondary School Open House, I'm supposed to go back and help out with the NPCC Booth. Its 9am to 4pm, don't know if I need to stay throughout. Gonna be a long day.

Sunday, Meeting up with Shumin at Raffles City @ 2pm for lunch. She wants me pass me some survey forms for her FYP.

Today I was in school from 1300 to 2100hr, even though Fri is my freeday. Again I was working on my Lab report the whole day, and sad to say, its not done yet. I managed to find one more journal article needed for citations. I'm left with 2 parts, results and discussion. I think I will wait till next week, do it when I get the SPSS data analysis. Actually I could do it since I've already analysis the data using layman methods, but well I could be wrong, so wait till SPSS confirms my analysis then I will do it.

Just now I was searching online for guides to use SPSS to run the analysis I want, and after a long search, I found it!! And its so easy!!! Its just 2 steps and I will be done! Why can't the Prof just tell me straight and wasted my time in these nonsense.

I wanted to go to NTU for local exchange program next Semester. I printed out the application form, filled it up, put it in my file, brought it to school for the past 3 days, and today when I got home, that bloody piece of paper is still in my file!!!!! Damn it!! The deadline for submission is today. Great! The form is now lying in the litterbin in my room. It shall burn in hell and I shall stay in NUS the next Sem.

Good night!

退后。。。

The "最近" MV has been on my blog for quite some time already, I don't even click on it when I come in here anymore. The lyrics are all in the heart already. So I guess its time to put up a new song.

This "退后" MV has Jay Chou and Hebe inside. The storyline is quite good. The lyrics are wonderful.

周杰伦 - 退后

天空灰的像哭过
离开你以后
并没有更自由
酸酸的空气
守住我们的距离
一幕醉心的结局
像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记
找到了回忆
那笑容是傻气
你我的过去
被深深真的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情
存心的眼泪是多余

我知道你我都没有错
只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给的承诺
全被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错
只是放手比较好过
最美的爱情回忆里带去

Feeling good again!

That shitty night when I was running a fever, after I went to rest in peace, I slept for a full 14hrs!!!! Woke up feeling totally refreshed!! Gone was the fever and I'm back to normal again! Sleeping does help.

This afternoon went to school early wanted to run the Stats analysis for my lab report, but I sat there trying to figure out how to input my data and in the end after an hr I still did not manage to find out how to do it. The way I input it does not give me the analysis I want, so I gave up. Went to find the Prof to ask him, was skeptical, knowing the amount of sacarsm he will throw at me without giving my any answer, I still went ahead. Went in 1st thing he said, "wah, no need to make appointment ar, can just walk in like that" . . . So i went on to ask my Qn, and he ask me what analysis am I going to run for my study, luckily i got it correct, if not im sure there will be another round of sacarsm coming. Then he said wait till the next tutorial he will be going through the Chi-Sq analysis, which is the one i wanted to run. "Be more patient and walk till next week's tutorial" . . . I tried to probe further but nothing came. Kinda expected. Ask me to do the tutorial question's for next week's tutorial. Duh..I've already done the analysis manually for my study using pen and paper, if not that the SPSS data sheet is needed, I wouldnt even bother.

Went to the canteen and meet Shiyun for lunch. She came to school to do RP today. She is flying off on Mon, will only be back end of Nov. Take care my dear girl! ALl the best for the competition.

Went to the library after lunch to do literature review for my report. Damn.. Out of 5 journal articles I am searching for, NUS Library only has 1. What the Fuck!! Pathetic!!! I went to ask the librarian, he told me nothing he could do, asked me if this is my thesis research because every undergraduate are entitled to 3 search requests for articles not found in NUS libraries and normally students exercise this option when they are writing their honours thesis. To hell with it, this is just a lab report.

So moral of the story is, I spent the whole day, without completing my data analysis, without doing my literature reviews, only finished doing my cover page and abstract page. Outstanding! How efficient of me! . . .

Went for a run just now. Thats the most efficient and effective thing I've done today. Good riddance!
