i am jus freaking worried bout stats... like i din really learn anything? :S at least for comp sec the 2nd midterm really made me catch up with what i have learnt so far. or rather what i am supposed to have learnt so far. 

then after exams there is still JLPT to study for! hahaha! and i just came to a conclusion with YW that i shd probably try out for jap3 placement test since it's free and oso fail oso nvm... just go for fun lor...  

oh another note, i guess the twist of events have proven that my decision is right! 

good luck to all for the coming weeks!

痛い!

Posted by gErRiNiC at 07:15 PM on November 6, 2005.

i guess i've decided not to keep checking up on my wound already. it still aches all the time. just hope that i dun keep brushing onto it! 痛い! haha and because of the pain i tend to eat very slowly and not so much even tho i already started eating solid food. and i have to keep rinsing my mouth after every meal, thus drinking a lot of water... so by right overtime i'd slim down and b healthier from the water! wahaha mad... i'm still perpetually hungry and can't eat pokey food like chips... haha so tempted to finish up my marks and spencer chips but then damn scared. hope it heals properly!

and i've got a 'sore throat' now... not exactly the usual 1 where i feel really dry. but then it's like just very painful... gosh. wonder what's the cause of it.  

anyhow i'm currently listening to jason mraz' album. he's really cool! love his falsetto! now it's got me all curious whether he did the opera part for 'mr curiosity'. so damn cool! somemore he keeps rapping in all kinds of musical styles!

Currently listening to: Jason Mraz 'Mr A-Z'

HELL WEEK

Posted by gErRiNiC at 10:31 PM on November 13, 2005.

hell week has officially started.

i finally started revising on my work esp stats. gosh i'm really like damn worried for it cos like it's e most don't know what is happening module. and i cannot afford to get a C for this! for god damn's sake, that will be so embarrassing! cos i only get Cs for CS modules and nothing else! the rest shd be un-C-able!!! wahaha mad analogy. 

argh even tho i have started, it's still damn slow!!! cos i have to make a helpsheet for stats as well so i really have to read thru every single damn word and make myself understand it otherwise it's going to be in my helpsheet.

damn freaking stressed 1 lei. cos dat JDP is like keep asking me whether tmr can start doing comp sec past yr together in sch. like freaking hell i haven't even started revising for that module and i seriously find it very NOT practical and impossible if you start trying out past yr qns when you don't even know anything. ok not exactly don't know anything but rather you haven't studied enough till you feel like you are exam-ready mode and brave enough to try out past years. i just need a few days alone first to at least do some revision before i even think about trying out past year qns. of cos i will eventually look at the past year qns but my priority is to finish revision first! and it's not like i only have comp sec to worry about unlike JDP. i still got stats lor which is freaking even more worrying! and stats is not like a day or 2 after comp sec, it is like the very next morning after the evening comp sec paper. which leaves me absolutely no time to study for it after comp sec paper. grrr!!! and the more i think about next week the more i feel that there is no time for much studying esp when i get so distracted easily by food, tv and laptop and my sis is brilliant at talking to herself loudly and irritating me. also, because of 3214 presentation which only ends on tues, then there is min's bdae lunch, then harry potter on wed!!! >_< HELL HELL HELL WEEK!!!

wish i can study as fast as ADP!!! ARGH!!!

Modelling is so not easy! ;P

Posted by gErRiNiC at 05:03 PM on November 15, 2005.

was helping out jib and kf dis afternoon for their photoshoot. just doing some random shots. but then i realised that 'modelling' for photos is so not easy! i was like,'where am i supposed to look?', 'what am i doing?', 'what expression should i have?'. and i realised it's so much more difficult to smile at the camera when it's in front of people you don't know and also it's like there is nothing to smile about? haha so weird rite? when you are with friends joking or posing for a photo, a smile just comes so easily. it's like there is a connection. but if you are especially doing a photoshoot and you have to portray a certain expression in front of ppl you don't know it just becomes so difficult. you keep wondering whether you look stupid anot since it feels so weird!

haha totally reminded me of america's next top model the whole time! wonder how they do it! pro sia! haha

studying is such a drag! SLOW AND EASILY DISTRACTED!

the urge of taking non-examinable modules for next sem is so damn tempting!!! any suggestions?

The Remedy
words & music by jason mraz & the matrix

I saw fireworks from the freeway and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of july, freedom ring
now something on the surface it stings
that something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous who says that you deserve this
and what kind of god would serve this? We will cure this dirty old disease
if you've got the poison I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

I heard two men talking on the radio in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the be right back after this
the unavoidable kiss, where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast his catastrophe
dance with me, because if you've got the poison, I've got the remedy

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I wo'nt worry my life away.

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why
Because

the remedy is the experience. It is a dangerous liaison
I say the comedy is that its serious. Which is a strange enough new play on words
I say the tragedy is how you're gonna spend the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends because it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away.
I won't worry my life away.

argh!

Posted by gErRiNiC at 12:35 AM on November 18, 2005.

i was really bored of studying and everything else that i decided to go make a rough plan of my timetable next sem. with tutorials and labs.

and looking at my selection of modules, it's making me so not want to take jap3. because so far i actually counted the total number of hrs i have for sch and it has reached a peak of 26hrs of sch!!! never before has my total sch time reach so high!!! haha but actually e 2nd highest was last sem when i had 25hrs but then seriously it did not felt that way! cos it was freaking fun with film and jap1. haiz. but next sem will be so different! because i have compulsory labs for both 2106 and 3240! gosh! gonna be so damn long. can you imagine, my final sem already and i still have lab sessions and 2 of them somemore! so taxing. labs oways make me feel very stupid and it's like so damn stressful! :S and mind you there are projects for both modules! plus jap! i am so courting dealth. AND the TC tuts for jap are so going to make me want to die with so many mini projects (skits, dubbing for anime/drama, etc) even if i SU it, it's not going to be too easy to get a S if i don't participate for TC. and seriously i'm hoping i don't need to SU any module even though i still have 2 SUs left.

guess it'd really take a whole lot of brain-washing over at osaka to convince me to take jap3 next sem. it's highly tempting not to take it cos for 1) i really hate TC tuts. 2) it's just going to be so damn tough with such heavy modules like 2106 and 3240. 3) horrible timetable!!!

k, shall c how my results are for dis sem 1st and also how my holidays are spent.

oh! and i'm not taking jap3 placement test already. cos it's like on the 5th or 6th of dec! no time to study!!! hahaha

good luck for exams everybody! =)

i wanna die

Posted by gErRiNiC at 11:07 PM on November 19, 2005.

did major revision for my stats today. but still left like 3 more chapters to go. BUT i can't understand e tuts since tut6! it's like un-understandable since then! and the notes oso so heavy! i was like thinking, how come probability so many things to rem! it's so freaking hardcore proving and deep into the formulas. drowning in my stats and my A4 sized cheat sheet is just freaking write until i don't understand why it has become so much hardcore stuff!!!

i'm getting more and more worried about stats. it's like i cannot afford to do too badly for this! and the thing is i dunnoe whether i'm the only 1 who really dunnoe what the hell the module is about, so much stuff!!!

i will calculate the marginal density function for you!

Posted by gErRiNiC at 11:44 PM on November 21, 2005.

haha. feeling rather hyper now even tho my helpsheet is still not totally filled up and i've got 1/2 an hr left to finish it up. cos tmr's paper is 9am, hopefully i can sleep by 12midnight

yes both excited and frantic about tmr! but then again, i guess i felt really relaxed after chatting with kf dis afternoon when we met at e canteen. haha seriously he's 1 guy that looks (and i think really is) even happier and less stressed up during exam period as compared to sch time. i reckon sch time he's a bit 'uptight' hehehe kk dun kill me. haha anyhow, yup kinda lightened up after that. then even tho a little after that when i was having my comp sec exam and it was rather hard (i can't do the 'proving' 'maths' qns!!! >_< *wails!* [learn from gen hehe]), i still was quite ok cos i'm so happy it's over! and tmr will be even better cos the horrid stats is gone!!!

very very soon i'd b slacking! haha about 10.5hrs time!!! hahaha yup ok i'm kinda high now.

anw some bitching here (referring to the jap show on ch u, mon & tues 10pm):

zaizen is 1 freaking scary character! haha last week i had to bear with e bad dubbing voices of the show cos i was banished to watching the show at the tv [which didn't have duel sound] in my parents' room (cos they were watching CSI in the living room). but today i got to hear their actual jap voices! and it's so much scarier hearing his actual voice together with his facial expressions! it's like he becomes and totally accentuates this totally very horrific personality! he can be all smiles but then deep down you know he's really not happy with the current situation. anw i tot his life was really just dysfunctional. and woman he's having an affair with is just one damn smart woman?! she just knows how to twist him ard with her words (eg "the pancreas is a silent organ. it is the doctor who diagnosed it [referring to the pancreas cancer] that's the one that should get all the credit" when zaizen had just performed a flawless operation to remove the tumour on a patient but was not the one who diagnose it).

haha anw dis show is really interesting la. great to see the 2 lead actors again after so long. they still look great even tho they have aged a lot.

Posted by gErRiNiC at 11:22 PM on November 23, 2005.

today was a pretty cool day i must say! kinda relac to e max!

started off by watching some amazing race family edition. k i'm a rather big fan of amazing race but family edition doesn't really interest me cos there is just way to much 'goody' bitching ard. family mah. prefer those with just 2 ppl per grp... too big a grp just doesn't spice things up too much. ok so i was watching it. or rather the 2nd half of it. it was kinda ok la. will watch if i really have nth better to do at that time.

yup so later (!) i went to orchard! Alone! hahaha shopping alone is one thing i can really enjoy a lot. (ok i'm seriously going to hear some 'boo'-ing or someone (ADP) going 'n00b'! haha) ok ya so shopping alone is fun cos you can take your time at doing anything and see anything you like all at your own sweet time. no waiting or fussy ard cos other ppl want to go somewhere or see something. but there are also perks of other ppl being ard (but let's not go to that). ok i reached there abt 1pm and i tot ok since i wasn't so hungry yet for lunch i'd just walk ard 1st until i get to somewhere that i wanna eat at so that it is on the way. yar so i got off at somerset and proceeded to walk ard heeren. ok nth much there except dis kinda middle-sized crowd of sec sch girls with their cameras getting psyched up outside Ed Harley (i'm not too sure whether this is the correct spelling but it's that shop that Sun Ho opened recently). yup so initially i tried to get a glance of who was really inside but after a while, it seems like the crowd isn't anywhere near shrinking so i decided to go walk ard 1st. and when i actually got my chance to see who was inside later, i realised they were doing a photoshoot inside with Sun and some other guy (i think he is niu nai of energy, think only ah!) haha so that's some celeb news for you. even tho i bet almost all of you dun give a damn bout Sun Ho or any1 from energy.

ok so by that time i was really starting to feel really hungry... and i actually went to taka basement's ajisen ramen. ok not really the best choice in food but then aiyah on the way.

oh! project shop has so many new stuffs! hehe was so tempted to get the handphone strap but then waste money la! haha they actually have dis pouch-like thing that's like my pencil case! those of you who have seen my current pencil case, it's like got 2 buttons on both sides so that you can vary the size of the pencil case. but the 1 dat project shop has is really of better quality material. e buttons oso nicer.

btw the apple shop @ wheelock has moved! in fact a lot of shops there have changed. anw haha at 1st i was like walking near sakae den i saw that the apple shop was replaced by some sneakers shop i was like,'sei la!' (think mich haha) but then later when i walk a bit further i realised they moved to the other end after nydc. ok e entire store hasn't opened yet but at least it's still there. went to check out ipod video. haha i din noe that the 60gb 1 is so much thicker that the 30gb 1! haha i tot same size. but really 30gb is quite a steal. i am so tempted by the size. it's thinner than those old generation ipods. somemore the video quality is not bad. very very worth it to get that is if i have extra cash to burn! hehe afterwhich i went to fish n co to have my hot fudge dessert! OK i noe i am such a glutton and like so much money. but! i couldn't resist. since it was on the way and i haven't been to orchard by myself for a damn long time le!

ok so at the end of the day, i bought:

1) lip balm
2) a blue shawl
3) Jason Mraz Live cd (almost wanted to get john mayer's 'inside wants out' cos it was a freaking $12.95. but den CONTROL!)
4) some fantastic glittery envelops/cards from Prints!

haha not bad hor spent less that $50 including food. considering i saw so many other nice stuffs (think ipod for example! haha)

Question of the day (or rather afternoon)

Posted by gErRiNiC at 01:01 PM on November 29, 2005.

"How do you hum and eat at the same time?"

-- as asked by my mother over lunch at the dining table at my hse

haha basically had jason mraz' 'absolutely zero' totally imprinted in my mind at that moment. (only realised it to be a damn nice song after listening to it a few times, wonderful lyrics dat kinda reminded me of that thing with eric. even tho he's a kinda lousy piece of shit to be reminded of) Then i just started subconsciously humming it out v softly while chewing on my noodles... hahaha!!!
