Bittersweet results

Computing Principles ....... Credit
Study Skills .................. Credit
Intermediate English ....... Distinction
Finite Mathematics ......... Distinction

Sweet surprise for getting a credit for CP. I expected a pass only. And what makes it sweeter is no failure in any of the subject.

A bitter moment to see the goal of achieving High Distinction for Maths dashed. Well actually I expected it already because of a tough question that I was clueless. Oh well...

As long as I passed everything...

26/8/10

Jayden and Jarett got baptised on Sunday. I really wonder if Jarett's heart was truly committed into doing it. Hmmm... hope his life will be touch by God. Hope Jayden will grow up to be a good boy (I sound weird saying this >.<) in his now Christian family.

Too bad holidays never last forever...

Rediscovered one of my childhood addiction :P and searching for music took most of my holiday time XD

Second semester is about to begin... and I haven't even decided on what two elective subjects to take. I only know that I'll be taking Accounting. Haven't decided on my other subject and my two elective subjects in the third semester. Arrgggghhhhhhh so confused... it isn't easy to decide when you don't have a decided ambition... a passion for something like being a teacher or taking care of kids... a talent like designing... a determination to be have a specific work like a doctor...

Hope I pass all of my first semester's subjects!!

Hope I will choose the right path of career...

Half Of My Heart



Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that I can't keep loving you
can't keep loving you
oh, with half of my heart


But I can't stop loving you
can't stop loving you...
With half of my, half of my heart


Half of my heart won't do

Half of my heart's got you

The Expendables

Went to Times Square today with Rick, JX and Sam to watch The Expendables.


Spoilers ahead!!




With many well known actors, I had expected it to be a good movie. It didn't live up to my high expectations though. There were lots of action scenes and gun shots but somehow, it doesn't really bring much thrill to the audience. Besides that, the movie seem quite fake too with hardly any injuries done to the protagonists. The story line was quite basic too. I also think that I need to mention that Arnold Schwarzenegger gets only like 5 minutes of screen time. -.-

Fortunately, like most movies, there were a few funny moments that were good. But besides that, it was mostly shooting and blasting and knife throwing and violent killing. However, there were a few cool scenes from the movie too.


Action movie fans will really love this movie while others might have different views.

Overview of first semester

Intermediate English

The demonstrative speech presentation was a nightmare. My topic was "how to solve a Rubik's Cube". As expected, everyone except one or two that knew how to solve it looked quite blur. Fortunately I managed to finish it within the time limit. That was my only good point. Public speaking is so not my thing. I only got 6.2/10 :(

Quiz 2 was almost as bad too. The body of the essay needed to be written in passive form. It's so difficult to think of points and elaborations in passive form. Lost quite alot of marks because of this. Only manage 6/10 marks.

The final exam of Intermediate English was not as hard as the first exam. Because of this, I manage to finish the exam with some time to spare. I hope I can get a good mark for this exam. But overall for this subject, I don't think I will get good grades because of my poor presentation and quiz 2. Zzzz.

Study Skills

Fortunately, there aren't any presentation for this subject. Phew. The other subjects' presentation were already a handful. X.X

The group assignment done by me, Sher, Kyan and Huey were actually quite good. 12 point something out of 15 marks. Inside were also a few praises (like "good point", "good analysis") from the lecturer. Lol feel so happy about this outcome XD. Actually I think we deserved to get these marks. We stayed back to work on this together and finish it quite early too. Haha.

Wonder what marks I will get for the final exam. The essay part had a really stupid (well stupid and useless in my opinion) question. Really... I doubt many people will apply that in their life. Applying that will actually complicate things instead of helping to ease it.

***


Computing Principles

Yup CP... my (and most people's) worst and most hated subject out of the four. Studying for the final exam brings back memories of studying for Sejarah again. T.T

I was actually quite surprise for my group's powerpoint assignment-cum-presentation marks. 9 point something out of 10!! Wow!! And I only had like half a day to get the design, fonts and animations done (cause of the delay from my other 2 group members T.T). I truly wonder whether we deserve such high marks. No complaints though XD.

As expected, the final exam was hard, especially the subjective part. I hope some of my commonsense answers will earn me some marks XD.

Finite Mathematics

This was without a doubt the lesson that gave me the least pressure. I really like this lecturer. I'm going to miss his classes :(.

For my group's assignment-cum-presentation, I made a big mistake. I lead them to do the wrong working of the assignment :(. While other groups with the same question found the same answer as our original, I thought it was incomplete and thus, I did an extra working. I was actually quite determine that it could be correct. Oh well... it turns out to be wrong. We only got 11 out of 15 marks. I'm so sorry for my mistake :(

My target was High Distinction for this subject. But in order to met that target, I need to get about 38/40 for my finals. Too bad there's a stupid question that I didn't know how to do. Arrrrrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Spent about 1 hour on it(I finished the rest of the questions) and still came up blank. Haizzzzzz there goes the HD...

***


The passing mark for each subject is 16/40 percent for the final exam. Hope I don't fail any subject... I don't want to waste time, money and effort to retake the subject. >.<

I can only hope now...
