Dismantling of lock

Yesterday other than having difficulties in trying to understand and create a PERL program for a lab report, everything was ok till I reach my block.

Went to open the letterbox as usual but this time, my key got stuck & I just simply can't get it out or turn the key in the lock. It was at the locked position so I also can't close the letterbox. So I can't just leave my key there.

thus, I went to see if my mum's bedroom got light to see if she was at home & called her. Through the phone, I realized my dad was not back yet. Thus, I get my mum to find lubricating oil to see if it would work but I don't.

Thus, this time, I ran up to get tools. Spanners, to dismantle the lock. I'm glad my dad would ask me to help him in the past, to hold something for him, etc when he fix or dismantle things. So, that is why I managed to figure out what is needed to dismantle the lock.

Managed to get the key out eventually when the lock was dismantle but when we try again, the key was stucked again. Thus, my mum & I decided to fix back the lock at the unlock position for the time being till my dad buy a new lock to fix.

Think my uni friend, M, said I like v power, still can dismantle the lock. well, i might be able to do these stuff but only the basic. Think alot of things I do are only the basic only. Be it to cook, draw, dance, sewing, some handicraft...

studying in library

Been feeling lagging behind for I had been skipping tutorial questions again when my hands are tight... Right after recess week, actually even before, got endless quizzes, assignments, & lab reports.

Just this week, there will be 2 lab reports due. And we have to come out with a draft of assignment which is due next week. And last week due to the online test, I did not do a tutorial & I still have not done it. & there is another set of tutorial questions.

Though today, 1 of the lecture was cancelled and the only lecture we had start at 1530, I went to school very early (0830). I sort of completed my 2 lab reports and d draft of the assignment and I am very relieved I did. But did not have time to attempt my tutorials... Am still pondering if I should go school early tomorrow again to attempt the tutorials.

It is effective in making me do my school work in the library as I make sure I do not go into friendster, facebook, etc till I am done (except the tutorials) today. But I became very tired and started dozing off in lecture. Was basically sleeping through the 1st half... Sighed... So in a way, it was not so effective as I think I tired myself too much...

Had been forcing myself to go very early from the start of the semester till now especially on Tuesday and Wednesday when lessons start later. & been staying late to try to complete as much as I can for school work & others.

Actually Sunflower got a dance project on 19 April which I think I was too ambitious as I hope I could be involved even though it was in the midst of my exams. But I would be glad that I would not be involved as I would be pushing myself further more.

Been having headache (mild) actually since like a week ago. especially when I starts to feel tired. & my head would feel very heavy & I jus could not think well when that happens. that is why at times, I took longer to figure out school work like the calculation for 206 online 'test' & lab report. So inefficient. 1 of the evening last week, even feel feverish & was ok after I woke up the following day.

But I am glad I did managed to meet up my ex-colleagues for dinner and my sec sch friend for dinner & movie & even go swim too. at least get to relax my mind at times. Can't imagine if it was like last semester when I totally have no free time to let my brain rest.

Exams are coming & this time, I planna go study in school since I am paying for the bus anyway. So far, feel studying in school lesser distraction. Hopefully it will really help in pulling up my grades... I just hope I have the energy to than another 1 month plus. last paper is on 29 april while the 1st paper starts on 14 april.

bs206 online test

finally complete d crazy online 'test' with 100 levels today during my break...

there were 4 levels to save (20, 60, 70 & 100) & there were 2 pool of Qs. 1st 60 levels no need calculations. level 61 on, was calculation based.

First attempt at lvl 61 was last night. At first mental block & jus simply couldn't figure out... but in d end, managed to do & get to level 70 after hours of attempt. Anyway, the calculations r d same except values differ. thus, after level 70, i went to create an excel spreadsheet whereby I could jus type in the data given & the answer will be calculated by excel. only tested it for 1 level ytd & it seemed ok.

Today, after much delay for 'exploring' college of engineering, only left like an hour to attempt d next 30 levels. Luckily I got the spreadsheet. managed to level up within the hour... Am so relieved nw but there is still d online game to attempt...

got chased by a cat

this morning, was chased by a cat... i thought the cat was following my mum who do not like cats (as she was being chased by one many years back). but in the end, realized the cat was after me when my mum told me that i had a piece of raw fish in a plastic bag on my hand. it's was my dad's fish as he wanted to bring to work & steam for his lunch. so i quickly get into the car before the cat won in getting the fish.

HW111 Presentation

Today is the day. The day for our presentation after 2 days of discussions (if I never remember wrongly) and 2 mornings ofrehearsals...

As I'm the one with the most number of videos. To save time to re-link the videos, decided to use my laptop. But in case, I save it in my thumbdrive. Anyway, YZ brought her laptop as well as she got all the videos in her laptop as well. This is because she is very kind to help me edit & save like 11 video clips though in the end I only choose 4.

This morning, decided not to go via the staff bus. Too tired to wake up so early. Wanted to leave house at 8.30 to 9am to go library to print notes. But... I only left house at 9.15am as I fall back to sleep... So didn't managed to go library as I was late...

The bus to school was crowded & wearing my new black pair of shoes aren't a good choice. Feet hurt & laptop is so heavy. Plus I put some notes in my laptop bag too. So I had 1 hand on the handle & 1 hand on with my laptop on the bus. In the end, a friend who was on the bus tapped my shoulder when I shifted inwards after a few station & helped me hold my laptop as he was sitting. So I was relieved from the weight till I alight.

After lunch, while trying to clear the tray, spill the sauce on my blouse. In the washroom wanting to wash the stain, I almost slipped. Though I did not believed in the so called black friday the 13, I should admit I was quite unlucky then... & I had like 7 plasters on my heels... 4 on one leg and 3 on another as I was hoping it can cushion better but it doesn't help much. At least I do not get blisters... C was very smart to bring a pair of shoes to change after the presentation. haha...

Anyway, after the presentation, when the class end, my team-mates took group photo... Think only my group is this 'crazy'. I am glad to work with them.. Serious time, serious... after that... ENJOY! haha...

Back to serious business... Coming Monday got 207 Immunology test. Friday got another 206 Test & the 206 online test (game-like) will end. think the following week, another individual assignment will due too... Not forgetting lab report (due dunno when)... Never ending... sighed...

'Joke' from the movie 'Pulp Fiction'

A 'joke' from the movie 'Pulp Fiction'.

Once there were 3 tomatoes, Papa tomato, Mama tomato & a 'baby' tomato. They were walking down the street one day and the 'baby' was slowly lagging behind the Papa & Mama. So, Papa tomato went to the 'baby'. He 'squash' the 'baby' & told him to catch up.

If you never get it, read 'catch up' faster.

'Catch up' = 'ketchup' esp aft the Papa had already squash the baby tomato...

CRAZY BS206 MODULE

Had a crazy module.

Had a test for d 1st few lectures & even practical in the comp lab consisting of 31 questions in 30 minute & you have to submit in like 29 min in case the system lag...

And the prof set up an online game.

if you reach level 10, you can register and continue with the test. Once you register, a pin will be sent to you. Next time you start, you can use your pin and start at level 10, not at 0...
Registering carries a reward, with incremental CA at each level. For example, for levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 you can get: 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 of the CA, respectively.
However, to qualify for this reward, your CA (practicals quizzes, etc) and exam marks should BOTH be at least 50/100.
Each level has 6 questions which you must answer.
If you answer correctly ALL 6 questions: jump +2 levels
If you do not answer correctly ALL 6 questions: down -1 level
If you need help: before you complete the answers, you may check the correct answers of up to 2 questions, (although not any two questions, just three answers are available per page) .
If you want to see some answers, however, you will be penalized (see below):
If you needed help (1 answer):
If you answer correctly ALL 6 questions: jump +1 level
If you do not answer correctly ALL 6 questions: down -2 levels
If you needed help (2 answers):
If you answer correctly ALL 6 questions: stay at the same level
If you do not answer correctly ALL 6 questions: down -3 levels

He also set another online test very similar style with the online quiz but the 1st level to register is level 20 which will only get 50/100 of the CA grade. following that is level 60, 70 & 100. 'Played' for very long yesterday & I kept answer wrongly & hitting negative levels. Only today, after hours of effort to figure out (as no hint & no answers will be given & no of correct ans is not known), managed to level up. but aft certain level, the types of questions changed... Totally different set of questions...

& worst still next week still got another test in the comp lab... when I haven even start on the 'game' & cant even do tutorial cos still need to study for immunology test...

really broke my record le...

swimmin w friend finally

thought d bad luck will end yesterday morning. however, last night, after having check my bag & emptied it, the bottle of medicated oil missed my eyes & hands. It fell out of my bag only when I wanted to keep it into the wardrobe & it shattered. While clearing, I felt sharp pain on m my leg and realized that a piece of glass was stuck on my heel. After getting that out and sweeping my feet with my hands, a tiny glass splinter almost got into my finger. So disastrous.

Today, I forgot to bring something again. My EZ-Link card. Luckily I realized when I am just downstairs.

Anyway, managed to finally go for swimming with my friend after we made plans since last december. Though only swam the width of d pool to and fro twice and a while more (stoppin a while after each 'to & fro'), I am still happy enough. Well, I did stopped in between when there are people in my path but I continue on after they left. Remember the last time at the pool, I only swam uni-direction & had to stop & rest. So I hope tml will get better...

Not a good week for me

this week seemed not to be a very good week for me. 1st of all, there are 3 quizzes (mid-term tests). but that aren't the only reasons.

Monday, just before the test, I realized that my pen's ink just won't come out. Can't write anything with my blue ball-point pen. Had to borrow from my friend as I only have coloured pens left. During the test, my correction tape ran out. Tuesday, forget take new pen & change correction tape.

Today, only realized that I forgot to bring my notes for BS208 & BS209 tutorial classes. Worst still, I even forget to bring my BS209 tutorial worksheet which I have done (sort of did it for the 1st time). So I do not know why I bother to do that day when I don't even bring to class.

stressful undergrads life?

Just on Monday, the 1st day of school after the term break, a 'uni-mate' stabbed his prof & commited suicide probably due to stress. According to the papers, he was not doing well for his FYP & his scholarship had been terminated about 2 weeks ago.

Today, my friend told me that on her way to the library, she saw an overly-stressed student who seemed to be late as the student dashed off. As the student ran, he/she (I don't know the gender) kept mumbling to himself/herself.

Well, I admit I am quite stressed especially when trying hard to catch up in my studies but I'll make sure I do not go to that extend. Scary...

Why not?

What is Yo? Can't guess? LOL!

Today, a lecture told us that it's 'Why not?'

Y = Why
0 = not
So Yo = Why not

a sad tragedy

A sad tragedy occur today in school when it's jus d 1st day of sch after d term break.

a final yr triple E student stabbed his prof in the morning & cut himself before he jumped down fr the building & died almost on d spot.

heard from our lecturer but she nvr say clearly & i was confused s our lecture topic touches on conflict too. in d end, michelle's sis sms her & so we roughly noe what happened.

& after watchin d news, realized tt it was d place we usually go on thurs for our film art lesson. we always passed by tt area. so luckily today is not thurs. & it was pretty near my sch too.

it's really a pity tt d student was alrdy in his final yr, final 2 more mths & things like tt occur. sighed... life is so unpredictable...
