At long last, after this week is over, I can heave a sigh of relief. CS814 will be handed in tomorrow, and one more project down, one more to go. I can't wait. It's like this pressure cooker in me man...
Anyway, I think I haven't done much for HP203, so after tomorrow, I shall devote my attention to it! And then, we shall go back to the books. I haven't opened my textbooks since last week. Man I'm so way behind in my revision.
Thanks Si Huan for being so efficient with HP203 and doing so much, and covering our butts when we were doing CS814. I shall give all my attention to it this week! =) I think without that girl ah, our group would be rather behind time. Hopefully, after this, she can have enough rest... If anyone's having a bigger pressure cooker inside them, I think it's her. Hey, I hope you don't mind me talking about you here!!
Haha, so it's in a light hearted mood that I'm typing here, and I gotta go to sleep already, since I'm gonna have 8 hours of sleep, starting now....

PMS
I hate it. Never took notice of it, but this time it was practically staring me in the face that I just had to notice it.
It's been a maelstrom of emotional upheaval this week, mostly with me getting moody and irritated with no apparent reason. I don't even know why I got irritated. Sheesh. It's a bad feeling... bad bad bad... And I find it hard to tolerate myself, much less my family. Wonder how they could stand me without getting fed up this week. Even I'm disgusted with myself.
Ahh.. the beginning of a new week. Let's just hope the stupid moodswings won't start. School's soooo not the place to have moodswings and be irritable. I don't wanna get all moody and then affect the others.
Wish me luck!

One Down, Two More to Go!
Yay! Another project finished! Another load off our shoulders! Now it's down to CS814 and HP203. Not that worried bout HP203 though, cos that one still has 2 more weeks to its due that. But I'm worried bout CS814. Technically it's due in 2 weeks' time as well, but it's due on MONDAY. Yep, so in actual fact, we have a week to do it. I know we should start on it this week, but HP202 just ended today!! And I'm going out of school tomorrow, and won't be back on Thursday. Please please please don't ask me to come back on Thursday!
Luckily, Dr Ang thought our presentation was fine. When I read her guidelines yesterday, I was quite worried, and wondered if our group had actually followed what she wanted. Thank goodness it was fine! Haha, I think this project couldn't have been completed so efficiently (seriously! We rushed through it from last week to yesterday! It was only 2 days you know, excluding the weekend). I still think this group is a GREAT group where everyone tries and DOES do their part without ever complaining about their load. I like it that everyone tries to help everyone. =) Hmm... hopefully next Academic Year we can consider being in the same tutorial groups again? What do you think? ;)
Anyway, I have to go back to doing my tutorial. Take care! =D

Concert in NTU
So exciting! Zhang Shao Han is coming to NTU for a concert! Hope I can get tickets though, otherwise it'll be so disappointing! I quite like her songs, so I hope to see her live!
Hmm... I wouldn't mind if Guang Liang came to NTU too.. I'd love to hear him sing Tong Hua live too... Why is it that only Chinese singers come here to hold their concert? What happened to the English singers?!
Asked Yi Lun and Angel to come along too. Think they might like to come along, especially Angel, who loves this sort of events. She's quite poor thing lah, actually, whole day stay at home... Not that she works on her English particularly hard when she's at home. In fact, I think she hardly touches her English stuff. There's no motivation within her to want to do well for the subject. Doesn't she realise her family's counting on her to get into a local school so that they can do their business here?! Ah well... Hopefully one day it'll finally click in her and she'll work harder. She only watches tv at home!! If she watches tv and learns her English from the subtitles it's ok. But I have a feeling she hardly even glances at it. Anyone has any idea how to motivate her?

Results...
Just as I predicted in my last post, now I am kicking myself for not making use of the time. Read my textbook a second time when I should BLOODY WELL have been reading my lecture notes. Crap. Lost stupid marks for that stupid experiment. Who the hell (except those who read the lecture notes of course, and I'm not blaming them) would come up with such STUPID experiments like testing whether people would find BLARDY pictures the BLARDY funniest with a BLARDY pen in the mouth?! Or maybe it's just me who was STUPID enough to not read the lecture notes lar. Ah well. I'm pissed with myself.
Well. Decided not to put CS814 under S/U option, so according to the cognitive dissonance theory in Social Psych, I'm supposed to be experiencing cognitive dissonance, which will make me justify internally why I didn't put CS814 under the S/U option, since I didn't have much confidence in doing well for it in the first place. I do hope it sets in, 'cos I need the internal justification and the subsequent confidence to boost my confidence in the subject. For those who dunno what I'm talking about, lemme explain what I mean.
In the first place, I didn't have much confidence in CS814, a module I've been doing as an elective. Then, there's this S/U option available to us, where we can S/U the modules which we are not confident of doing well in. So, now the logical thing is to place this CS814 under the option, and everything will be fine and dandy right? Well, I decided to do the opposite. Which means I decided to take the risk of not doing well for the subject. Yep. So that raises what we call the cognitive dissonance within me. As in, a psychological discomfort inside my mind. It's uncomfortable in the sense that I'll keep wondering if I did the right thing, what the consequences will be if I do badly, that kind of thing? Therefore, I'll try to justify to myself why I did what I did to try to make myself feel better. Since there was no external justification like reassurance from the teacher-in-charge that I'd do OK, or the knowledge that I'd do Ok, I have to find internal justification, by convincing myself that this is still early in the Semester, so I still have time to buck up on the course, and that I will actually do well in the course, because I like the course. So with internal justification, I'll convince myself that doing well in the course is gonna be Ok, that I have just as much chance of doing well in the course as anyone else. Yes. So I'm gonna believe in that, and hopefully I'll be spurred on to work harder for this course.
I didn't expect that this course would be this hard, seriously. I thought prescribed electives were supposed to be easy. Ah well, maybe I feel like this because I'm out of my comfort zone. Ok, enough of these depressing thoughts. I'm off to work hard! =)

Thursday... Friday... Saturday... And Exams soon!
Well, it's finally Thursday, which means tomorrow will be Friday! It's strange, but I kinda find that this week has passed real slooooooooooowly.. I mean, the time just creeps by. Even HP202 tutorial, which usually zooms past without my being aware of the time passing, was slow! Goodness, what happened to time this week?
Haha, well, I think Pony would scold me for wishing that time would pass quickly. After all, tomorrow's the Social Psych test. I have no idea why I would still want time to pass so fast even when there's a test tomorrow. I don't even know if I'm well-prepared for it. I have a nasty feeling I'll be kicking myself for wishing that time would pass faster tomorrow, once I realise that I hadn't prepared enough for the paper. Well. So what the hell am I doing online, blogging about time passing very slowly and then knowing what will happen tomorrow? Frankly, I have no idea. Sounds crappy I know, but there you have it.
JB Food trip by Deli Aprecio club has been cancelled because of the bird flu. To be honest, I feel relieved at its cancellation. At least there's one less event to be carried out. However, I'm not so sure it's such a good thing. You see, when JB food trip is cancelled, all the more the committee would want the year-end publication to come out. Which means that I'm in deep trouble. Which means more writing. Which means more time spent on something which won't go towards enhancing my GPA. Which means more headaches. Which means more apportioning out my time to handle more things. Sheesh. And there are sooooo many readings to be done already! This weekend, my time will be occupied by project readings. And God knows that I haven't prepared well for my Personality Psych and Developmental Psych papers. And exams are in 4-5 weeks' time. Everything is just dandy. And my father is always behind me nagging for me to start my revision. Well, as if I don't know what's at stake here.
Ah well. This is life I guess. After 4th May I'll be free! For a few days, at least. Hmm. And I can look forward to going K Box with Yi Lun! =)
