results a bit disappointing and 2009 is coming

Well, start to talk about my results...nothing surprising, but EE2001 disappointed me. i only got B+ for it, which is definitely not proportional to the efforts that i have put in. well maybe the examiner is right, there are not enough features. but i think that's not all our fault, cuz our GA really cannot make it and he didn't tell us we should have added more features. he should be monitoring us, but all he did was come to the lab every week, and say "everything ok? dun worry". what the hell... and EE2001 is a 6MC module... and as a result my cap drop below 4.8...a bit sad but bo bian. somehow i am not so saddened by results anymore :P

EE3207 (Computer Architecture) was an A, well sort of expected that, but then it can still go down to B+ cuz the TayTT gives A to top 30% then straight below is B+ and below... so there's still a slight chance that i would have gotten a B+, given that our project was not the top notch, but still a good one.

EE3204 (Comp Networks I) was an A+ :p good, given that my effort for it was significantly lesser this semester. but i did study for my tests and exams, and strived to understand thoroughly, which contributes to all my As and A+'s in the 5 sems of NUS.

EG2401 (Engin Proff) is B+. well, quite ok lah, cannot expect much for an essay-based module.

GEK2001 (Changing Landscapes of Spore) is also B+ but i S/Ued it. a bit surprised, cuz project got B only lol. maybe my essay skills not that bad at all :P

ok end of results, talk about ytd. ytd, was my mum's bdae. we went pearl rivers at suntec convention for dinner, ala carte buffet. the waiting time for food at the start was frustrating, dunno why. but it got much better from the 3-4th dish onwards. food was quite ok. but then actually i still prefer to eat ala carte w/o buffet, cuz we get better service better food for the amount of money we pay. we paid near 400 for 7 persons, my family + dear + kirana. unless u can eat alot, advise not to go lah. unless u are ok with service lapses, advise not to go lah.

but then food was ok. the mini buddha jump over the wall not bad. soup quite nice. there's this wasabe prawns also not bad :p not too 呛, u can always follow my youngest bro put the whole prawn in lol. but not advisable lah, cuz i think will still 呛. i didn't dare to try, i eat half by half =X

had a quite christmas eve. mini bbq session at home, with dear and family. tested out the new bbq set that i have bought for home fix for 300 plus lol. simple idea but effective, no need to fan the fire lol. can ask me abt it if u wan :P

ytd afternoon went to run 2.4km. cui-ed. 12.50 so slow. die liao. i hope to pass IPPT by end Jan. but can lah. that time i train 2 wks down to below 12 liao lol. worry abt SBJ though lol. train more train more!

christmas day, took whole day of public transport :) went to orchard road, see see look look. watch bedtime stories. damn cute the movie, quite special lol.

post christmas day 26th, met up with my tchs erhu mates for a gathering cuz 3 of them are leaving for SEP soon. me also leaving soon... the 2 medicine guys are graduating soon, wish them well :) pls do have integrity when u become a doctor, dun be the kuku doctor that my uncle had that caused him loss of money, time, and most importantly, torture to the health. then in the evening i went to find dear. ate at her house lol. then we watched IP MAN! nice show. i like the spirit behind the main lead, ye wen. and my dear, somehow cried at a part, where i think it's only a bit touching lol. so funny. though sometimes i also will cry at touching scenes, but that scene actually not touching enough to me lol.

ok that's all i can rmb for now. a bit incoherent, cuz random thoughts just came in lol. my memory really fails me nowadays. but then, brain power is not wholely memory. it's the analytical mind that i luckily still have :P

无题

been thru 2 noc breifings in a week. got to know more about the upcoming trip. going on 5 feb, almost a week after cny. actually good, cuz get to spend cny in singapore, and the weather then would be warmer at around 10 degrees. siam tio the coldest part of the winter in china, which to me is quite good lah, cuz i lazy to wear so many clothes lol so mafan.

1st briefing was quite boring. talked about the real mundane stuff that we need to do, we need to take note of etc. then came prof teo, i dozed off within 5 minutes. and oops, i kanna caught by him lol. but well, who cares man :P

2nd briefing was organized by alumni. morning was insurance briefing. then lunch where we got to interact, within colleges and with other colleges. also had inter-colleges "networking" sessions, which actually i just went around talking crap lol. we had to paste stickers on other pple about our first impressions on them. and what i got, guess what, many of them knew i was the one caught sleeping in the 1st briefing :P hahahaha. got one even said i was brave... cuz he was sleeping too then, but i was the "scapegoat". really funny

looks like singtel coverage in nus extension wasn't good. cuz i messaged dear many times and dear messaged me many times. it was until 3.40pm then i received around 5 messages that dear messaged me. but dear didn't even receive any one of the sms-es that i have sent. luckily, my messages manage to get thru after that :P if not dear would be damn sad for the whole day :)

oh ya, yesterday was the 1st time in a long time that i took public transport :) took a bus to yck mrt station then took mrt to douby ghaut. journey back was also bus and mrt :) squeezed in the mrt :P realised the proportion of PRCs around me was really significantly much higher than around 2 years ago when i didn't have a car. but well, didn't see any bad social behaviour though except those pple who hogged the priority seats despite having some old pple standing around! well, this phenomenon seems not have improved any bit since last time.

hmm for me and dear's 15th month, i had a surprise for dear. hee. wanted to put a card in her letterbox but then the stupid letter box was locked in order to prevent flyers! who invented this kinda of mechanism? what the hell! lol. spoil my plan lah lol. in the end i had to settle for putting the card outside her house and i had to stand by around her house for around 1 hr plus to make sure the card was stolen or blown away lol. actually before that dear was a bit sad cuz maybe she was thinking of me leaving. then she eventually cried when i wished her happy 15th month. see her cry i was a bit sad too, but then i still manage to comfort her a bit :) Dear, believe me that i will come back for you :P

yesterday had quite a nice talk with one of the seniors, Weileen, from noc shanghai. well, talked about our ideals and stuff like that, as well as some of the latest business opportunities. well, there's definitely something that is correct. it's at no cost to think about what i want carefully. i think it will take some time, but i guess it's worth it as it will help me identify a certain direction in life. i guess i have the time to do so, and i think it would help me shape how i work how i interact with pple in shanghai as well as when i am back in singapore :)

still feeling tired

hmm looks like i need more rest...the sleep debts that i have accumulated over the sem have not been cleared. actually i dun think they would be cleared in any way. they are more like permanent damages to my body. well, what to do...i am in engineering, and worse computer engineering :P

yup i have been slacking around. but actually not lol. cuz got to do some admin tasks for noc. module mapping is killing me, cuz fudan university really has a cui website, that doesn't give me information about the modules except for the number of credits and its module title =X then my emails are forwarded here and there in search of the right person to settle the module mapping.

thursday would be ntu hall 11 performance :P would be having a last practice tomorrow. hope the final member who hasn't come at all really comes. and hope she wun disrupt the whole performance...

next week i would have 2 briefings for noc, one on wed, one on saturday. 2 days gone. 2 days without dear. hope dear can understand and entertain herself for a while :) next friday i would also make a visit to the hq of alphatron asia in singapore, my employer in shanghai :P would be introduced to their new product in alphaview. wondering how much techincal stuff i would be touching there in shanghai, but well, no matter what, it would be a learning experience for me :)

christmas soon :) merry christmas in advance lol.

time really flies. quite apprehensive about gg for noc. but i guess it would be big step out for me. quite apprehensive about me and dear's r/s. but i promise dear to come back for her. i hope that she and i can continue to make efforts to maintain this r/s. i really hope so. for my part, i definitely will make the extra effort to talk to her everyday, even if it would be only a short 15 minutes. i guess that's the least i can do. i shall tolerate whatever nonsense that she may have when she's feeling sad. that's the least i can do too. i really hope things can work out. although many pple say long-dist relationships wun work out most of the time, i think i do not belong to the "most of the time". at least on my part, i would try to pacify my dear as much as i can. and i hope on her part, she can be strong and wait for me to come back for her.

Dear! Let's make things happen together :) 加油!

low

i really have no avenue to release my emotions except here. so dun read it if u dun wan to dampen your mood.

tomorrow is her last paper. but it seems like it wun be a happy day tomolo. it's just the wrong time to emo. i am sorry for that. but i really dunno how to prevent that cuz the msg left me with practically no alternatives.

haiz. a one-word message to end the day is definitely not what i want. guess she doesnt want that too.

hope it doesnt affect her exam tomolo. cannot affect. cuz her CAP must go up, not go down, not stay stagnant. all i can do is to jiayou for her morally.

i guess all guys dun like to be compared with regards to r/s. it just feels weird. it just feels like you are being monitored all the time, and if u fail to do smt well, u will be deserted for another guy. at least, this applies for me. i dunno, maybe i am over-sensitive. but i guess i can't control what i feel too. if not, why i am rambling over here?

i know all girls like to be pampered. they tend to compare other pple's bf with theirs. thru that, unknowingly, they add more expectations of their bf. i guess this is a similar situation to society where competition leads to higher expectations of the employees. well, maybe this is unavoidable, and maybe i should adjust to that, just like how i have always adjusted to whatever competition that i face in sch.

ok enough of all this philosophical thoughts. do smt practical to solve this lame conflict.

Dear, jiayou for tomolo's exam! hope it doesnt affect your performance tomorrow. hope i can wake up in time to at least send a jiayou msg to you before your exam.
