Feel like updating my blog, but don't know what to write, so you might see there's no connection whatsoever in the following paragraphs, since i just write whatever comes to mind..

I've been playing heaps of games, and study quite a bit as well. So big claps for myself there! *clap* Everyone should start playing Castle Age on Facebook! It's awesome*awesome. It's awesome^2! And GodGame mahjong! Oh my god... Can't believe I just found out something that good.... that should hold my mahjong thirst for a while! :D

Been having this one hell of a sore throat.... Feel like I'm coughing up my lung, stomach and intestines. Sometimes, I cough out something that is definitely not supposed to belong in my body.... Sorry to those who has just eaten.

Something terrible happened last week... I got my first flash! (I think...) The I think part is because I don't know whether it is meant for me or not... If it's for me, then it's cause I turned left when i'm not supposed to (though I still say I can turn!)

been playing Killer Sudoku again... Hell awesome...

Anyway... Signing off for now.

Have you ever had a day where when you start out, you set out a list of stuffs which you're going to do, then at the end of the day, you look back and realize you done nothing on the list?

Well, I have been having these kind of days quite often nowadays. I've been procrastinating on a lot of things, skipping uni just because I only have 1 lecture, not studying at all for the whole day.... The list just keeps getting longer and longer.

The passion is just not there. What happened to the 18 year-old kid who crams study like there's no tomorrow? I looked at my results from high school, and it's omg totally different from what I had now. Last semester was an anomaly, but throughout my uni years, I have been happy to settle for a CR, not aiming for a higher grade. Have I sunk so low so as to settle for something like that? Sure, CR means I pass, but should I really be happy about it?

Maybe it's time for me to re-evaluate myself.

Maybe I should aim for a better result.

Maybe I should stop watching series.

Maybe I should stop reading manga.

And maybe I should hope for money to fall from the sky,
the sun to rise from the west and
the wind to stop blowing.

...

Oh welz, all kidding aside, I should really start studying more. LOL!

Thankful

Just read this from Bowling King manga. It's apparently a poem, although Shauteh Leh (the main character) and the other people find it dull, I actually find it interesting.

感激傷害你的人，因為他磨練了你的心志；
Thank people who have injured you, because they have trained your heart's will.

感激欺騙你的人，因為他增進了你的智慧；
Thank people who have cheated you, because they have allowed you to gain knowledge.

感激中傷你的人，因為他砥礪了你的人格；
Thank people who injure you, because they have invigorated your personality.

感激鞭打你的人，因為他激發了你的鬥志；
Thank people who have whipped you, because they have lit the fire in your passion.

感激絆倒你的人，因為他強化了你的雙腿；
Thank people who have tripped you, because they have strengthened your legs.

感激斥責你的人，因為他提醒了你的缺點；
Thank people who have scolded you, because they have reminded you of your flaws.

感激遺棄你的人，因為他教導了你該勇敢；
Thank people who have abandoned you, because they have taught you independence.

It actually makes sense. Though many people probably think otherwise.

My life just sucks.

Today, I received one of the most depressing emails I'll probably receive:

"Hi wilfred, unfortunately we won't be able to continue the practicum. Sorry,"

Wow. One sentence. A stab to the heart. And as you all very well know, I'm pretty sick atm, so I literally blacked out when I saw this. Took me like half a minute to regain my composure.

Now I'll have to go look for Vacation work somewhere else, and hopefully I can get one, seeing I missed out some companies already.

My life still sucks, no matter how many times I say this.

Sigh...

FML!

Semester 2

Wow.. Suddenly realised my blog has been sitting here growing moss for so long already. Thought I might update a bit and giving ppl who care an update of my life.

Second semester just started, and this is going to be one of my more hectic semesters. This is due to the fact that I'm overloading, in order to finish my course by 2011. If not I will have to do another semester, which means more money (living expenses + food + ... you get the idea).

This semester I'm doing CITS3200, CITS2231, MATE1412, CHPR2432, and GENG2140.

CITS3200 is Professional Computing, which is kinda like IPE in the sense that we have to program something to be presented to a client, instead of just doing research. This is going to suck, as the project is worth 75% and it is liek a semester-long project.

CITS2231 is Graphics, which I haven't done much for it yet. I only know I have to program in C, which is among one of my most hated programming language, and I have to use OpenGL, which I have no prior knowledge of. But hopefully it won't get out of hand.

MATE1412 is Materials Engineering 1, which shouldn't be too hard, as most of the stuff I already learnt in Manufacturing. But I hate memorizing stuff. Hopefully I get through it ok.

CHPR2432 is Heat and Mass Transfer. This is so damn hard for me. Three lectures in a week and a tutorial to boot, and the lectures ain't easy as well. The lecturer just skimmed through the equations before I even know what it means. Maybe because this is supposed to be a Chemical Process unit, and the other students already know how to do them, but since I am doing this as an optional unit, it's pretty hard for me.

GENG2140 is Computer Analysis for Engineer (or something like this), which is pretty much a joke. Right now I attended two lectures only out of 7, and those two are freaking useless. The assignments ain't a pushover though. But due to "help" from previous year students, I should be able to get through fine. :P

This sem is going to be a bitch. :'(
