Depression. I has it.

Friday November 23, 2007

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.

Tennis and Grades

Wednesday November 21, 2007

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.

Mega Cuteness and Mega Lethargy

Tuesday November 20, 2007

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.

Grades Update:
CompSci367: Pending
Maths315: Pending
InfoSys330: Pending
-.-

SHOUT!
Come to SHOUT!

Dinner at the Flat

Sunday November 18, 2007

I was invited to have dinner at 'the Flat' today - that is, Mat, Simon, Richard and Tom's flat. Poor Tom was being a drama llama the whole day over not being present at this dinner. Andrew was there too, as well as their friend Natasha.

Dinner was actually really delicious. Mat cooked a prawn and avocado risotto, with tiramisu and chocolate mousse for dessert. Absolutely fantastic, and compliments to the chef. I helped to prepare o/

At the moment we're just waiting for Richard to sort out his wireless so we can play DotA. Yes, Simon and Richard are hellbent on DotA and Richard has revealed that he has an addiction for it, and can't sleep until he has had a game.

Christmas Skit

Saturday November 17, 2007

So the youth are doing a Christmas skit for the Christmas service this year. I thought I'd go along so I could be the musician dude, because I'm usually the musician dude and don't have to act.

And then, all of a sudden, I'm the main character dude. Wut. I have to memorise all these lines as well x_x It should be a good skit though, if we can all get our lines sorted and our acting polished.

I'm excited by the prospect of Momo's <3 Apparently the story is that Viet got bored and so we're all congregating at Momo's now. Yay! I must remember to bring some cards along.
