After 4 Mths...

I still remember yrs ago, after every 3 mths or so, I'll have a break... A wk long in [Mar], a mth long in [Jun], another wk of hols in [Sep] before the major 2 mth long [Nov], [Dec] break...

Yep, tt's yrs ago when I was in sec sch and JC... The ancient time where you need complex formulas and precise punching of the scientfic calculator to do statistical problems and sketching transformation graphs of a f(x) + b and f(ax + b) gives you marks...

Now, a mere punching of numbers into the GRAPHICAL CALCULATOR will solve almost everything, including finding correlations and regressions... Haiz... Even though I'm not tt old, the exposure to different technology makes me feel like I'm from the dinosaur age or something... *Sigh*

I think it's time I should @ least learn how to use the graphical calculator... Would anyone be kind enough to lend it and teach me how to use it??? *Pleading look*

Oh well, the recess wk has finally arrived and I'm able to save a little on traveling expenses for the next 5 days or so... And tt's all the rejoicing I'll be doing... I seriously must force myself to not indulge too much in unproductive (read = [Facebook]) activities... Rather, I must have the mentality of 'work comes before play'...

[DSC2003], [ST1131A] and [BSP1005] tutorials shouldn't be a problem... It's the whole revising for the mods tt's making me feeling a little anxious, which I understand tt it's kinda irrational... Could it be due to the fear of being brain dead and tt this time I'll be competing with a whole bunch of other, more smarter ppl??? Again, tt reasoning's sort of flawed as during the [Special Sem], I'm already pitting myself against smarter, more senior ppl...

Great, this deduction simply implies tt the source of my jitterness is unknown...

Which leads me to today's [Marketing] survey which I've to do... To put it simply, the students are used as subjects to collect data for some graduate students who're doing market research... Today's survey requires me to 1st do 5 [Maths] qus and I guess it's the paranoia of holding everyone up tt I couldn't solve some simply pri sch [Maths] qus... I ended up mis-reading the qus and giving the wrong ans for one and couldn't solve a simple simultaneous equations...

The paranoia tt I'm habouring with regards to how others are viewing me is getting out of hand... I just hope I'm able to get a grip on myself before I go schizo...

Anyway, since I'm on the whole [Marketing] subject, I might as well continue with the story on how I busted my chance on getting some class participation marks during today's tutorial... There's a pop quiz to help ppl who are shy and early to score some marks... I'm the shy and early ppl... However, I did the dumbest, stupidest, moronic thing ever... I didn't prepare for the tutorial and hence couldn't answer the pop quiz questions... Or to be exavt, I did write some stuff down, but it's clear from the answers tt I didn't prepare AT ALL...

How nice... -_-"'

Yep, so the bottom line here is to complete the harder, more demanding tutorials during the hols, like the 2 [GEK1527] assignments and [MKT1003] assignment... On top of tt, I'll still have to prepare for a project on the latter mod as well as to mug for my mid-term tests... If the seniors say it's impt, it's impt... Heck, which test isn't impt in history?!

Maybe the constant thought to mantain my CAP is causing me undue stress... Whatever the case, this wk long break is meant for 80% work, 20% play... =D

Here's a vid which one of my classmate was so curious to watch...





LOL... Perhaps it's personal preference la, but I don't find this disgusting or weird or anything of tt sorts... Neither is it erotic... Now, if you say it's a kissing scene b/w 2 men like in [BrokeBack Mountain], tt's another story... HAHA!!! =P
