So 'chiong'

Yesterday, after the HW102 tutorial class, even though the tutor have not had the chance to talk with us about the proposal, we felt that there was a need to amend our proposal. Yet, it was difficult to find time to meet up due to the fact that everybody's electives differ.

Thus, we decided to me online to discuss. As most people could only make it after 9 pm, discussion started at 9.30 pm and we only ended our discussion at about 1.40 am. At around mid-night, I'm already shut off but I just hang in there as everybody seemed to still be in discussion.

I can't remember exactly what time but there was a time when they were 'arguing' about which website gave the correct data (one giving 7.8% and another giving 8%) and I had to stop them & suggest quoting 'about 8% while citing the two sources. Then they started another 'argument' about another statistics of similiar cases but this time, basically from the same website but different page.

At that rate they were going, I am not sure when we will finish thus, I decided to amend the proposal as we discussed and saved the copy. We only managed to change the background and objectives and we decided to leave the rationale and problems even though we thought of amending it during tutorial.

Luckily I edit at the same time so I could upload into eureka for them to take a look after the discussion. If not, today, will have another night of torture. They even asked what time to discuss today. So I stopped them to ask what they feel about the proposal and they said ok. But then got one asked if the 'full-stop' should come before or after the citation. I almost fainted when I see that. I am a typical virgo who is quite a perfectionist. Yet, there are someone who is even more 'li hai' than me. (-.-)''' Well, in the end, we decided to ignore that 'problem'. And so I suggested email to tutor and wait for his reply before we had another night of torture. Even told them to brain-storm the questions for survey and after we settle the proposal final draft, then we discuss on the survey questions.

Thus, I hope I will at least get one night of better sleep. Actually, I dreamt of the proposal last night (nightmare). My group-mates are crazy. So chiong! And today got lesson at 8.30 am. Luckily I taking the staff bus. If not, maybe it won't be a bad idea if I don't sleep at all.
