Holidays

Well, the dreaded exams are finally over. No more cramming my ass off and cursing the hell out of Nathan Scott. Not gonna think about exams results for now.

First day of holidays (Friday) has been a very very very boring day. Let's just say it bores a hole out of me. Sigh.. Went to my bro-in-law's grandmother's funeral. Kaseng is supposed to go as well, but for some reason, he wasn't there, which shocked me a bit. I thought I would have someone to talk to at the funeral, but instead, I found myself staring at the ceiling and playing games on my mobile phone. For those of you who don't know me well enough, whenever I play games on my phone, it means I am very very bored!

After the funeral, I went to the city for lunch. On the way there, we saw there is a long line outside 92.9 building. Apparently they are giving out free chips. For those of you who don't know about it, Hamish and Andy had been talking about making a people's chip, which is gravy flavoured. Smith's heard about it and decided to make a limited edition kind. And they are giving it out free. So, as you would have guessed, I grabbed one bag and ran. Haven't tried it yet though... Hopefully it is worth the effort.

After that, I went to the city to have a walk before dinner. Saw a few of my friends and they expressed their suprise of me wearing a long sleeve shirt and all. Sif man.. It's like I am some sloppy guy. Maybe I am. LOL!

Well, plans of this holiday:
(1) Go melbourne : My parents are coming over and go to Melbourne for a family trip together, which I hope is gonna be good. Good weather hopefully!
(2) Get a working visa and work! : Well, I am gonna prove those who says I will never work wrong. I WILL get a job!
(3) Get some threads : I am so sick of the same clothes I am wearing everyday! Gonna buy some new ones, probably in Melbourne or here.
(4) Watch supernatural : Yeah, that';s right lionel, I'm gonna need ur supernatural! Thanks!

Some other small stuffs, but can't be bothered typing out! HAhA!

Hopefully everyone's holidays are gonna be better than mine!

A spearhead that is going blunt

Well, I assume you all know that my results in high school, though not one of the best, are still really good. Better than most anyway. But since I came to uni, I realize my learning skills ain't what they used to be anymore.

I can feel my concentration in studying continuing slipping by, day after day. Right now, I can't sit in front of my laptop for ten minutes and think :"Fuck this shit, I'm playing some games, or read some manga." Where has my concentration gone to?

Sometimes I feel that I keep on forgetting stuff. Like just the other day, someone came to me and asked me a chinese word's pronounciation. I know that word and it is a word I used so often back in my high school days. But it took me like 15 seconds to reply. Am I really getting old? I really hope not!

Well, I asked a couple of friends about this, but they say :"It is all in your mind, don't bother dude!" But is that really true? Am I really only imagining things?

Lack of sleep and nutrients might be some of the causes for these phenomena to happen. But sleep really isn't something I can control. Just that day, I tried sleeping at 11, but I ended up sleeping at 1, rolling about the bed, thinking about the exam the next day. Sigh... I can only say, this semester has really taken its toll on me. I am just awfully tired and wish this semester is over. Sure, you can argue that there is still a lot of happy things that happen. But I just want it over and reminisce about it after this semester.

I realize this few days my blogs have been pretty negative, but hey, you can't expect anything bright and sunny during the exam period right? I promise some good stuffs after the exam period! :D

With regards,
Wong

Stress Building Up

Blogged this just to get the stress out!

Even though I only have one unit left, but it is by far the hardest and stupidest exam ever. Manufacturing can just go die for all I care. Damn you Nathan Scott, for using stupid marks betting system. It is so fucking retarded. My mid-sem is totally screwed because of this mark betting system. I could have passed the test, but instead I got marked off for some of my answers which I wrote wrongly. And he justified himself by saying this:

"There has been a fair amount of grumbling about my mark betting scheme. May I defend it by saying that marking 80 tests took about 10 hours of really boring work. My aim with mark betting is not only to emphasise that engineers have to know what they are talking about, but also to reduce the number of very weak answers I have to read and thus speed up the whole marking operation."

This is such bullshit. I am pretty sure in units such as MATH1010 and MATH1020 and some other units, there is even more exam papers to mark, and I don't see the lecturer putting a stupid "mark betting scheme" on the exam. As a result, some student don't even study and just do some of the questions they know the answer is definite, and ignore totally the other questions. May I say this is utter bullshit! This is not the way to study at all. In my opinion having an exam means we attempt all the questions and realise where we got it wrong when we get the answer back and never do the same mistake again.

Sigh! It's all my fault for choosing this unit for my overload unit.. I could have finished my exam last friday.. Instead I have to study till thursday for this bloody exam. I am so not used to the mark betting system. Got crap marks in my mid-sem, hopefully I don't in the final exam.

Feel like holidaying already even though I have one more exam to go. Sigh! Snap out of it Wilfred Wong!

Heard there is a lot of scaling for this exam. Well, I sure hope so.. Considering the fact I am screwed for this exam.. LOLZ! I heard seniors who got 0 marks for their mid-sem got a pass for this unit, even though they are positive they screw up the final exam as well... Sigh! Sure hope that is true.

Gtg study now! Hopefully I can something done!

Random Shit again

Screw this shit~! i am over this exam period. Still has five days till my next exam, but my study mood is totally shut off already. Feels like holiday for me already..

Now at lionel's house.. Had a pretty good dinner : tacos, shepherd pie and sweet potato soup.. YUMM!! They all taste good! Considering I can't cook any of that stuff myself (probably can, but meh!)

Hopefully I can get some study done. Stupid manufacturing. Well I have only myself to blame, as I chose to overload. If I didn't overload, I would have finish my exams yesterday.. SIGH MUCH!!

Don't ask about all my exams. Hopefully I can pass for everything.. This semester has been pretty shit for me.. Can't wait till it ends. SIGH!

Can't wait for thursday to come.. But I won't like the afternoon part, as my exam is at that time. Thursday night, here I come! LOL!

SIGH!! MY LIFE SUCKS!
