pissed

damn pissed. why people just refuse to confirm their attendance.

HOORAY HOORAY

Hooray hooray. 1 less thing about sep to worry about since mapping is more or less done. Gave up trying to take lessons in german. Kinda disappointed but relieved at the same time.

Kinda want to think less but in the end i end up 胡思乱想 even more. -_-

SEP o SEP

"even the basic German you would learn in a course would not be sufficient to communicate properly in an academic environment."

this sentence pwned my SEP mapping. Realistically, I was afraid of this happening but for the mapping to be shot down at such an early stage, it might be a blessing in disguise.

Regardlessly, still feel very very demoralised so far....How to map......Sigh.

I guess 船到桥头自然直 ? Hopefully everything will be fine when i go over and the experience will much much compensate for the whatever sacrifice I've made....

The half-an-year update

Woohoo it is another regular biannually maintenance of this site. I've even forgotten the URL of my blog.

Anyway, nothing much gets done nowadays, school work wise. Can't seem to focus on my priorities, keeping thinking about stuff not related to school work. I dread going to lectures, listening to them, doing tutorials and (god-forbid) lab reports. Now I have no idea why all that is going on, probably too much going on in my head. Probably too much useless thoughts recycling itself.

I get the sense of accomplishment from finishing a piece of work, but the feeling of not being able to share it with someone else sucks.

I realised, upon reading my earlier entries, I complain a lot. Guess I have either 1) grown older and wiser 2) Lowered my expectations. Or perhaps as one grow older, you seem to 看开 more and treasure more. I hope I am not too late in realising that.....

I promise to update more often!!!!!!

What I hate about writing cheat sheets

1) The fear of putting not enough information down on the a4 double-sided piece of paper. the word 'fear' is specifically used here. (ok, the fear of losing out, i.e. kiasuism)

Situation 1:

Me: Oh my, i actually forgot to put that equation hidden in the corner of the page under that picture at font size 6 down! Damn! The same equation which prof *** didn't say is important!

random person 1: Haha. Too bad. I've written in font size 1 so i can put everything down. Now look I have my ultra high magnification magnifying glass with me so i can see everything!

2) the feeling that you had put too much information down. Like the random person 1 above, it means that your cheat sheet is barely readable and most likely will be of no use when panic strucks and renders you blind.

3) when everything is completed, and at the last minute, then you realise something should be inside.

Situation 2:
random person 2: let's compare cheat sheets!
random person 2: you mean u didn't put derivation of the equation #10902901 in?? it is absolutely important and will come out!!
Me: Noooooooooooooo! *hurries to squeeze a small spot out to insert said derivation

4) because of (3), a small empty space is left out just for emergencies. However, it is never used and your cheat sheet now looks ugly

5) A perfectionist will aim to seek a balance between aesthetics and information loading. The constant dilemma on whether to squeeze into that particular small space for another equation or to let it be and use another line.

6) Time spent writing: 10%. Time spent reading up: 50%. Time spent writing this entry, msn, fb-ing, lying on bed wondering why the sky is not red: 40%

7) After the test, you realised you hadn't refer to the cheat sheet even once.
