I missed my exam =(

The enthusiasms and optimisms I had for today came crashing down the moment I first opened my eyes in the morning. It was a bright and sunny morning. Suddenly, I was jolted from my bed. I quickly grabbed my handphone and stared at its blank screen. "KAO! HP no batt!" I rushed to the living room and saw 10am displayed on the wall! I was late for the Analog Systems MST test! It had began just one and a half hours before and it just ended. Before I went to bed last night, I had presetted the handphone alarm to 7am. Apparently, its died on me sometime in the morning! Without hesitation, I changed into a fresh set of clothes, sprayed on some Ferrari and grabbed a cab to school.

.

In school, I told the reason to the admin staff located at the School of EEE office. She told me that I should have been smarter by bluffing my way out for a retest. i.e to get a MC as a valid reason for approval. She added that that is a confirm 100% retest for that. Inside I was struggling for my next course of action. Should I just fake and MC or should I just write a letter to explain my absence?

.

I hence sought my A.S. tutor, Mdm Safura for advice. Personally, she was willing to give me a retest on the same day as she feels that I can be trusted for not "smuggling" the answers from my other classmates. However, it's against the school rules and both of us can be in trouble if I somehow managed to coerce her into giving me a on-the-spot test. So, She just accompanied me to the office and I wrote a letter of explaination to the Vice-Director (VD) of SP to explain my predicament. I hope that the VD can see through the apparently simple reason for my absence, and also hope that he can understand the fact that I was brutally honest with my explaination and I do not wish to deceive anyone in order to get my grades back.

.

Right now, I'm having this shitty feeling inside me. Just got no mood to do anything, not even thinking of studying for tommorow's Logic Design test; I am still contemplating the aftermaths of my actions. Is honesty really that important? Or grades are that all-deciding? Next Monday, I'll get to know the answer...

Pre-Analog Electronics MST1 Day

Below: Innocent and without its parents.. it really saddens me..

Today is the final day for revision for Analog Systems. I was supposed to meet Cheng Earn and JiaQing at Khatib Macdonalds for studies. Once I left home and hit the void deck, I saw something that is so cute and so innocent, that was abandoned. Some "Kind soul" left it in a box with newspapers and some rags. The poor thing was mewing non-stop as in struggled in its movements. The tiny kitty really touched my heart. I spent well over 10 mins cooing it. Too bad dad's home, if not I would have brought the kitten upstairs and pass it over to Ah A for temporary custody...

Today's revision was a solid one. The 3 of of spent well over 7 hours revising and doing pass-year test papers. Even JQ's brain was filled with a rush of knowledge. Hopefully everyone can get at least a "B" for tomorrow's exam, else today's grinding would have been in vain.

Last Minute: No Genting...

Due to unforseen circumstances, I will not be going to Genting afterall. At least it gives me some more time to do my work and other things as well. Just don't want to think so much about an incident that doesn't really impact me.

Another X-Law Gathering

Below T-B,L-R: XLaw are: Cheery, QQLing, XiaoEnXin, Bear??, Me, Obsin

MST is just next week only. And I decided to pour in all my brain juice for this week from monday to thursday, focusing on the subjects tested next week. This friday to sunday, I'll be in Genting relaxing myself before the storm! I was contemplating weather should I spend my time maple'ing at one of Gentings cybercafe, or should I spend my time at the casino looking at my elders gamble. Well, I'll see...

QQLing appearence in Singapore was quite a surprise for me. Just now in the evening I received a call from Dan jioing me to meet up with her and the rest of the X-Law people such as Ah Bear, Shindy and Ning. We met at Orchard Rd and had dinner together, an do what friends usually do. Wonder when will people like Ping, Eric or WizJoe come down to visit haha...

Below: Lunch

MPLAB-IDE more or less done. With the interrupt feature still a stumbling block to me. Today, I finally managed to make the texts on both lines marquee together. Its just a matter of negating the delay of 250ms each time the loop runs.

Want to maple without interruptions. Maybe this coming friday and saturday I'll make it a 48 hour grinding streak.

A small thing means a lot.

Out of my way bitch!

I still remember an incident that kinda left an impression on me. Something which I feel might be hard to forget. It just happened yesterday only while I was on the 7.45am bus going towards Clementi Central. I was standing about maybe 5 metres away from the back exit of the bus and there were people standing in front as well as behind me. I had pressed the "Stop" button before the bus arrived at the stop which I was supposed to alight. So, when the bus came to an abrubt stop at my stop, I had to hold on to the rails to brace myself instead of making my way to the exit... stupid driver..

He opened the door. Due to the near-full capacity onboard the bus, I shuffled myself towards the exit. Then there was this "Thai" or "Philipino" looking woman that was in my path. I squared myself to make myself more prominent to her; to visually tell her that I want to get down the bus.

Instead of making way for me, she just shuffled her feets slightly and lowered her head! I stood rooted for a spit second... How the hell am I supposed to squeeze pass that Dumb Bimbo and another "huge-assed" woman (the huge-assed woman was facing my opposite direction. So, I am not really inclined to blame her.)

So I shuffled myself slightly towards her and move my body slightly, trying to give her another hint. But all she did was use her long oily hair to cover her face and pretend not to look at me! At that instance, the bus driver closed all doors!

I was fuming mad at that biatch! Without thinking? I yelled "CHEE BAI LAH!". I seem to have frightened her! Then I squeezed my lean frame across 2 fat-asses. At the same time, I sightly elbowed her (Although it seems like I am bracing my sling bag, so convincing). The door automatically swings open and I stomped out of the bus. Inconsiderate people like her shouldn't be even taking the bus...

RWP presentation: Nice Job Guys!

Below: Dressed uniformity

Below: We know our topic is controversial... do we give a damn?
Below: Meow!!

Yesterdays presentation was a success. All black seems to be the sign that we are prepared. For me, I was quite satisfied with the whole show. Smooth presentation and smooth Q&A, good comments from the teacher.However, I feel that there are some contents in the presentation that could have been improved on. Nevermind, hopefully the next presentation we'll do an even better job.

Today seems like the 1st wednesday in ages since I have not gone to school or gone out to study. Just plain tired. And my tiredless is reflected as I woke up as 12 noon just now! During the afternoon, I headed down to Sim Lim Towers to collect the 20 charger adapters for the whole class. After that, I went to OG Albert to browse through Gundam model kits. Many of the new kits are irresistable! But, I tell myself to stop spending any more money on them. Insetead, I bought 2 Gundam display stands for $9.95 each.

What a hectic week it has been. Important things that needs to be done inclide the MPLAB IBE mini project, the RWP presentation, GEMS test and loads of catching up to do.

Thank god the many hours of stoning at the MCT lab pays off. 2 brilliant brains of Cheng Earn and me finally got the damned program up and running! All that we need to do now is to include the "interrupt" feature into the program and "Voala!" 100 marks! (Thats provided we don't screw up our interviews!

GEMS... cells, DNA, etc... all the mugging during Vesak Day kinda pay off. At least I remembered some of the things mentioned in the notes. And the quiz was done with much speed and less care. Pass should not be a problem.

Report Writing is the next big thing... Powerpoint slides 99% done. All that we need to do is to draft out a script and possible Q&As to make the presentation a success. Maybe I should take Earn's advice if wearing all black. Emo fashion lol!

And finally, MST is around the corner. After the 2 weeks of holidays (10th June to 24th June). Still, I am contemplating weather to work or not. On one hand, I feel short on cash. On the other, I don't want myself because of that $500 I throw my MST1 grades down the drain. Somehow I just wish that money falls from the sky and God bless me with a better brain... Dream On...
