Progress check 5th

Kinda on schedule~ Done with blue and green panels, so all thats left is to glue them, erect level purple, make the connector and get the lamp ready =D Glad that I can finish everything by Saturday if everything is on time =P

Progress check 4th

Seriously, Yellow looks more like orange if you ask me....

Progress check 3rd

Been slacking for the day. Thumb and index finger's hyper pain. Guess I'll rest for the rest of the day (gosh, its 2 am!) and continue tomorrow =P And I didn't know there is so much work to do for gluing those panels onto the base all at once T_T... and touch up with additional paint and wiping away the extra paint using thinner and .... .... ... blehx...

Progress check 2nd

Progress check

Smaller or larger? It depends, but definitely cheaper~!

Remember how one 1GB memory stick used to cost 40 to 50 SGD? And remember how a 2GB memory card (SD/mini SD/micro SD) used to cost over a hundred SGD? Well, time really flies and the amount which memory sticks and memory cards cost really dropped like mad. I've got this 8GB memory stick for 84 HKD and 160 for a 8GB micro SDHC plus a miniature micro SD card reader. The size of the memory stick is also super small, in the sense that it the size of the miniature card reader, though twice as thick cause of the casing. Anyway, I guess our world is getting smaller and larger at the same time, with physical size for the former and digital size for the latter... and its a lot cheaper =D

(5.2 HKD = 1 SGD approximately)

Work commences now~

Remember the little maze cube I made some time back? Well, I'm making another one of those, similar in most ways except for different mazes. Will be posting pictures here so stay tuned if you are interested (guess you are not...)

Something random

Just saw some advertisment on Facebook...

7 days until Christmas. Thinking of someone? Send them a Christmas present
to let them know you are thinking of them.

It's 7 more days till christmas, AND I AM BLOODY HELL STILL STUDYING FOR 2 MORE PAPERS!!!! WHAT THE HECK?!.... Life sucks .... Oh and one more thing... peepz, if you happened to visit, please TAG! The counter has been ticking but no one is ever tagging ... T_T

Got you!

You'll normally give in when someone says "got you" or something... but a stuffed smiley? ... and a foreign one?

Lets put it this way:
- Smiley pushie - $x
- Trip to courier office - $y
- Mailing fee - $z
- Woken up by a ringing doorbell, being handed one huge box by the mailman and finding a smiley pushie that has gotten you - priceless

Thx alot doreen jie, and I'll make sure I'll send something as "specticular" as this, or even more =D

Wordcount

Let's do a little recap on the amount of words written in this semester for reports alone:

UGC201Y - 2 thousand odd
ENG2370 - 4 thousand odd in a total of 2 papers + 1 thousand for presentation script
ERG3810 - 6 thousand odd in total, inclusive of final report and progress report
ELE2510 - not counted cause 90% of the report isnt written by me
The rest, not counted

Total amount of words written in this semester - 13 thousand plus (if you include all those citations and bits and pieces, its around 14 to 15 thousand plus =P)

Well, isn't doing some re-cap great? I mean, who would have known that they have written more than 10 thousand words in just one semester?

Internal clock screwed

ZZZzzz... What the heck is wrong?! I've been sleeping during the day and being awake during the night for all these while... at least a week or so... Is this some kind of exam habit? Well, I am used to sleeping late, but now I am sleeping at somewhat noon, and waking up during twilight... Oh well, guess I've contacted something like "light phobia" or similar? Well, I don't really know, but I guess I need to put on some weight in my mental tolerance, while trying to finish this god damn report here ... geez...

AO GP = O English

Sick of studying, so I guess I'll write something more... unusual, here.

10 Reasons why AO General Paper is O level English counter part

1 - There's no English Language (apart from Eng lit which doesnt counts) for A leve, so theres got to be a subject in its place, and thats your General Paper.

2 - The subject is taught by the department of English

3 - The exam format is much similar when compared to O level English language, just that there's the Oral portion missing, you have a lot more essay titles to choose from which really confuses you and that you have to write one ridiculous essay (not summary) for compre.

4 - 35% of your grade accounts for language use (in english, duh)

5 - most of your GP tutors have a degree in English

6 - General Paper is an AO subject, just like Chinese, which gives it a "compulsory language subject" feel

7 - You get scolded by your tutor for not knowing what some super complex words means, but not during chemistry, biology, history or even eng lit

8 - Your are required (at least in school) to follow some marking schemes for your essay, and there are model essays which you are never interested in, just like O level english

9 - Most of your GP tutors taught O level english in a secondary school, if they have ever been to one to teach

10 - Do you seriously think that the ministery of education will free us from the burdern of studying English? HELL NO

=D

...

Anyone had the experience of taking up a stack of notes, start reading and after somewhat half an hour you realise that nothing has gotten into your mind? Well, that's what's happening current and like hell I'll give a damn about it =/ Blehx, time to continue to cram all these crap and hope that my brain won't go blank tomorrow

Opps...

THIS is the 100th post, and the previous one was only the 99th... Oh well, doesn't matter. =P

100th Post

100th Post~

Nothing worth celebrating, really, but just to keep track of what I have done and what I plan to do, and perhaps a little sentimental log?

-Exams
Screw the finals man~ Hated maths, hated anything mechanical. Why force yourself to something you've dreaded all along? Just let it come and go naturally. Oh well, not that I am not gonna study for it, but then and again, liked what I've said, engineering suck~

-Lit Paper

Gah, ONE DAY LEFT and I haven't even written half of it~~~ Gosh, why am I stuck in this kind of catastrophe like situation?! I've read all those books I needed, all the references, all the materials, and yet, and YET, nothing is popping out in my mind~~~ I need a serious cum urgent brain check... Noooooo, not now~~~ I'd rather sacrifise the time spent on studying my finals than to give up on my paper.......

-Model making

Well, I've got something cooking up there~~~ Planned most of the things I need to sort of, erm, upgrade or modify my current little maze. Hope that people will like it when I upload new pictures in a few months' time (and hope that I remember). But that means that I'll have to rework on the folio. Oh well, it's worth, and I can have more time on brainstorming (come to think of it, I've only spent 3 days on brainstorming this cube plus material gathering, kinda short if you ask me)

-The rest

SCREW THE REST! SCREW THE WORLD! GRRRRRRR!!!!! I NEED TO SLEEP OR ELSE I WILL FLUNK MY PAPER!
