...seem no different from weekdays..when you're on holiday! Except we have church on Sunday so that kinda lets me know which day it is.

So since my last post, I did indeed get InfoSys330 back. I was quite surprised because I didn't think Examinations people worked on Saturdays. So I just "happened" to check, by pure chance, and...yeah. There it was O_o It was an okay mark, and I'm happy with it. So hooray.

And coincidentally (or was it?), Andrew spoke about worries and stuff at SHOUT on Saturday. What he said really made me think...but I can't say his perspective on Uni and grades and exams match mine. Even after what he said, I think what I said still stands: I set my goals high, and I'm not willing to settle for mediocrity when it comes to something like this. But it was a good time of sharing. Thank you for..um.. justifying why you liked the texture of my shirt, Andrew. You're like a brother to me too :p

Also, I thought the worship for SHOUT went really smoothly. From a music perspective, I think we did a good job and stuff. A pity there were so few people, but I guess that happens with high school exams.

So for the past two days I've been moping a lot. Why? Because I'm like that. I mope over bad grades. What is a bad grade? It is a grade that is below what I expect of myself.

*sigh*

Okay, okay. When it comes to grades, no one ever takes me seriously. I think that's fair, I think my expectations are high. I set them high. I aim high. If you aim high, and come short, of course you're going to be disappointed. Why do I have to settle for mediocrity? God has gifted me with an ability to learn, so I should put this ability to good use.

At the beginning of the year, I set my goal to have another year of all A's. I expected to achieve that goal. I have done so for the past two years. Furthermore, my grades, with respect to Computer Science papers, have been perfect, bar CompSci220, which I got an 'A' in.

Until now.

Sigh, yes, I got a B+ in CompSci367. OMG says everyone. It's really depressing. My transcript looks ugly with A+ A+ A+ A+ A+ A+..............................................B+. I've been really screwed over in this course, for reasons beyond my control. More than once, actually. Furthermore, I don't think "this is a conglomeration of two courses" is a good enough excuse for the poor administration and organisation. You know what I'm talking about.

Firstly, assignment 1 screwed a lot of people over. 4% is not trivial, and it is probably the difference between... a B+ and an A-? Hmmm.

Secondly, what the hell was with this challenge problem crap? What is the point of forcing this "optional" material on us? Hoff trees were not mentioned ANYWHERE in any of the lectures. Only students in CompSci709 would know what a Hoff tree was. Wait, what? CompSci709? Isn't that a graduate course? Why yes! It is! Doesn't that mean that all the undergrads who can't take that paper are disadvantaged because there are postgrads that took that paper? Why yes! Prove that mathematically. I dare you.

lol im angry on the internets

Anyway, what else have I been up to...I had SHOUT practice today, went to Momo's after. There was 11 of us, and of course that meant chaos because of the orders and the payment and yadadada. But champagne and grape nata is awesome. And so are lamb sticks. And so is DotA. So I'm temporarily happy.

I really want IS330 back. So I can mope about that too, if I don't get a good grade.

Went to play tennis with Amy, Bobby, Ted, Casey, Viet, Raymond and Alex at the Three Kings court (just near the library). Oh my goodness, I'm so unfit. But it was a really hot and sunny day, and in no time, I was tired and sweating and started being all "nyeh" about hitting the ball. We also had a sham of a tennis competition in which Casey and Bobby won by SUDDEN DEATH!!!!!

After that, we went for dinner at this Vietnamese place just opposite Burger Fuel on Dominion Road. It was so late, I was just happy to have food, so it probably tasted a lot better. You know what I'm talking about? You appreciate food more if you're really hungry...kinda thing. Anyway, after that we went to have pudding at Chalin. Yay pudding.

Oh and I finally got a grade back today. Two nights ago I had a dream that the "Points in progress" went from 45 (ie, 3 papers) to 30 (2 papers), so it finally came true today. I suppose it was fitting that the first grade back was the first exam I sat, so yeah. It was Maths315 (Mathematical Logic). I did well \o/ and immediately without explicitly mentioning the grade, everyone knows what I got. ¬_¬

Also, here is an interesting observation that people have made about the box art for Super Mario Galaxy. Look carefully at the title text. You will see sparkles of light under some of the letters. These letters spell something out. :O Highlight for spoilers: UR MR GAY. The people who make these initial findings are amazing.

I have never heard of anything so cute or adorable as this.

It's been pretty blah these past two days. I've been quite lazy because I've been out late and gotten home late and woken up late and felt lethargic and so the rest of the day is blahhhhhh. It's hard to get myself to do things, so I've been bumming around playing Phoenix Wright 3 mostly.

Yesterday, Sam randomly decided he was thirsty so I took him up on that offer and we went to Momo's with Weng-Hao after our game of DotA. Momo's is so great.
