Covering lost ground...

I feel much better after genuinely getting myself down to work for these few days. Initially, I was lagging behind a certain number of tutorials. But now, at least I covered a significant amount of them and that deficit is reduced. All I need to do now is to finish up the rest of the overdue tutorials and prepare the tutorials for the next week, which is Week 7. Meaning to say. Tutorial Set No. 6 for every subject must be attempted.

For this week, I have a slight tinge of regret as I have skipped several lectures (think I missed like 5-6Hrs of lectures!!!). I don't know why, but I feel no mood attending those lectures. I guess it's the lack of company during those lectures. Really, it sucks to sit alone. And most of those times, I would somewhat be looking "enviously" at people who have friends with them. For those people who I usually sit with during tutorial classes, I can't seem to tell myself to sit with them as they themselves have their circle of friends. And if I sit with them, I probably might feel out of place. *Sigh*...

Must go view the video streaming for those lectures I have missed...

There were 2 continual assessments today. I came prepared for Data Structure. But still, the answers I gave for the paper were half-fucked haha. The part on Mathematical Induction was ok as I knew how to prove the equation for n+1. But the part to find out the O(n-cube), I flustered terribly! And to think that yesterday, Brenda and I were discussing how to copy! That plan didn't materialize!

During the next lesson (Basic Engineering Maths), realization somehow dawned on me that I did not even attempt a single tutorial for this week.. yet! So, I sat in my chair, empty-handed, as I tried to absorb as much stuffs as possible from the Maths tutor. Well, what he mentioned seems almost the same as that of the last tutorial lesson. Just that this is 2nd and 3rd order differentiation (Need to refresh on that).

After maths, it's Branda's Mr Nasty's and Wei Kiong's Mr *******'s lesson. Oh Boy how I laughed my ass off at the mentioning of that name. I know it's inappropriate to make fun of other people. But everytime the image (of Brenda pushing him down the stairs and Wei Kiong preparing the penknife below the steps) appears in my head, I know I am in for a good laugh! Laughters were minimised when the Physics tutor surprised everyone with a mini test today! It was an open-book test. But, I didn't bring my book as well as my calculator D: But still I attempted the question and I got an answer that seemed sensible. After the lesson, I asked around and many others got the same answer... except that my answer has several more decimal places. Die... wrong already.

After 3 hours of tutorial, there were 2 hours of break followed by 2 hours of Tech Comm. I was feeling very cold after the many hours spent in the classrooms. As I was on the way home, I felt so damned tired. So I "nodded" my head on the bus ride. Once home, I immediately changed into my home clothes and plopped myself into bed.

After a good 5pm to 8.30pm snore, I feel so invigorated. Good... the procrastination feeling seems gone as I hit the books. Finished re-doing Mr Nasty's Tutorial 5 and now, I'm trying to figure out Tutorial 4!

Ok, back to my books... Go Go Kevin Goh -_-

Oh No... Procrastination...

The only thing (which seems unnecessary now) that keeps on bothering me is the current state of this blog... I wanted to implement a fresh new look to it. Although I love the old skin (My Gp03-D... took pains to take the photo of it), I wanted to make something plain simple and functional too. Also, I wanted to use another colour for my skin instead of the usual black. Also, the buttons are etc etc etc he he ha ha ho ho ... ... ALRIGHT!!! THIS HAS BOTHERED ME FOR 6 HOURS! I'm gonna KIV this issue!!

Test on Data Structure & Algorithm tomorrow, 8.30am! GAAAH! And I was doing the above shit.! After the test, what do I have to look forward to? Nothing... To put it negatively, I'd just have to look forward to more tutorials and tests... wicked...

Finally my Samsung F330 is spoilt! Sounds like I'm congratulating myself, but fact is, I'm kinna pissed of myself. I guess I didn't really took good care of it as I always slid my phone without thinking of the consequences.

I've managed to clear most of the stuffs in my Samsung, except for a few >160 word SMSes... sad. Now I am without a permenent phone and I'm currenly using the old Nokia 7610 that my mom used to carry. I thought I would settle for it but, it's battery drains too fast. Also, I'm contemplating on getting a cheap non-camera phone from 7-eleven or the post office the next morning. Or should I just get a replacement battery and keypad for the Nokia 7610? *sigh.. problem*

3 weeks of school pass like the wind. And the stuffs seems difficult. Perhaps they were true that Engineering in NTU is a killer... I hope I can find the steel within me. The steel that made me surf through Poly.

My phone's getting faulty...

Usually when I make a call, I would hear the "connection tone" followed by the ringing tone whenever I am dialed through the opposite party's number. However, for the past few days, I have noticed that the both tones seem inaudible... few thoughts came up my mind. First, network problem. 2nd, the opposite party's phone problem. 3rd, my phone's problem.

True enough, it was my phone's problem. In order to make a call, I have to slide up my phone (a Samsung SGH F330 Music Edition). Whenever I slide down the phone, the call disconnects. Simple enough.

I realized the fault just now, when I was chatting on the phone. In the midst of chatting, I tried gently prodding the phone's top downwards, and true enough, the line breaks, and I am unable to hear any of the recipient's voice. Perhaps it's fault is due to prolonged usage. And sometimes, I would slide my phone down in a rough way... perhaps, this is why it's faulty now...

Dammit, I feel like getting a new phone now... perhaps, I would trade in this phone for a new one..

It has already been a week since school started. Man, at times I feel lonely in school due to the fact that the guys from my previous class in poly (who were eligible for university) were either in NS or waiting for it. Kinda embarassed to admit it, but, at times I would wonder aimlessly in school or find some spot to sit down and idly press my handphone while waiting for the next lecture to start. And during the lectures, I'd be spending most of my time alone.

Luckily during mid of last week, I unexpectedly bumped into Wei Wang while on the way to school. I was surprised that he entered the same school and the same course as me. But unfortunately, his timetable was different from mine. But at least, lectures are almost the same. There were others that I knew too, such as Zheng Jie and Nicholas, both of whom are from SP, but I'm not that close to them previously, and, It's just wierd.. oh well...

There were several new people I met in school too. Such as Daniel's friends, Dhanny, Hadi and Michael Tom, all of whom are final year students. People from my level incuded Wei Kiong ,Hui Chi and Branda (All from the 1st Lab lesson). Hope to meet more new people, especially Year 2. Else, university life will be hard to go by i guess...

With Friends Only!
